HE DISLIkES NEWSPAPERS.
Cleveland Refuses to Read Any Paper
Which Criticises Him.
Atlanta CONSTITUTION.


According to a Washington correspon-
dent Mr.. Cleveland never reads a line in
criticism OF the administration or of his
own personal conduct. He gave up news
papers during his first administration, with
the exception of two personal organs, which
always indorse his policy.
Secretary Tlurber makes it a point to
keep newspapers out Of the White House,
and the President is said to know nothing
of public opinion, except as it Is reflected
in the utterances of his friends and Of his
two favorite newspapers.
Thomas jefferson had a different idea.
lie once said that he would rather live in
a country with newspapers and without a.
government than live in a country with a
government and without newspapers. JEFF
ferson frequently resented the criticism of
newspapers, but he read them all the same.
He studied public opinion. and he knew
that ii was mirrored in the press.
If the correspondent tells the truth about
MIR. Cleveland 1t explains much that has
heretofore been mysterious. II has struck
many people that the President has utterly
ignored or run counter to public opinion.
but the fact that he is not aware of the
eSistency of such a thing is a sufficient ex-
PLANTATION.

Boston Globe.
1t is a surprise that in all the discussion
of the topic marriage and divorce by the
National Council of Women in Washington.
one item of import to the women Of
the future escaped mention.
So much has been said regarding the
sexes equality, particularly in the state of
matrimony, that it seems a strange over
sight not to insist on the abandonment of
the distinctive title marking the married
and unmarried women. Men do not change
the Mister given them by courtesy. when
aking unto themselves wives, and why
should the women change their COURTESY
title. or why, considering the modern in
dependence of the fair sex, make any dis
tinetion at all? 1t is suggested that il the
change must be. 1T might be made by man.
who has for centuries enjoyed that superior
prefix Mr. Let him on marriage lose
that title with the rest of his liberty. and
henceforth be simply addressed by Mis- sur
name. Would not that be a capital turn
ing of the tables, and a clear mark of
woman's supremacy in the new order Of
things? Because a. woman has no husband
to support shall she be eternalIy Miss"
or when divorce sets her free must she
preserve the Mrs from a mere matter of
conventional pride?
The English CUSTOM, abandoned more
thar two centuries ago, of Ealing every
woman. married or single, Mrs had its
advantages. after all, and by the light OF
her emancipation it should be reinstated
without delay.

Sc r Defense.
The Law Relating Thereto Laid Down by
the supreme Court.

a United States district judge in
Arkansas instructed jury that every
where except within his own house the
law requires a man to run away and do
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The Judge further
said that when assaulted on his own
premises, but outside of his house, a
man must show his sense of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons Of
assault consisted Of knives, bludgeons
swords, etc, which an active man had
some chance Of escaping. But it is not
applicable to these days Of revolvers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun, and the United
States supreme court has sent it to the
black letter lumber garrett.
The man sentenced TO eight years
imprisonment by the Arkansas judge
obtained from the supreme court an or
der for a new trial under new instruc-
ton. This new instruction declares that
wherever a man may lie, if he has a
right to be there and if he has not him
self provoked the assault, the law jnsti-
fies him in standing his ground and
killing his assailant provided the prov
able circumstances are such as to salts
fly jury that he had reasonable grounds
fer believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.
Putting any further limitation on the
right to kill in self defense would abol-
ish it altogether Arkansas is only one
of the many states i'll which a man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing a fellow citi-
zen or let the fellow citizen be tried for
killing him. In these cases, with his
attention eXcitedly fixed Oh his assail-
ant, he has no time to get legal advice
or to study the necessities Of the situa-
ton through the eyes Of bystandors.
Court and jury will do that aftervard,
and he is under restraint enough when
he knows that i'll saving himself from
the peril Of the moment he incurs the
further peril OF having to satisfy jury
that his act as justified by the circum-
stances. New York World.
