In 1870. at the beginning of the Franco
German war. President Grant issued a
proclamation declaring the neutrality of
the United States. which began by say
ing, Whereas, state Of war unhap-
PLY exists between France On the one
side and the North German Confeder-
alton and it's allies on the other side"
This distinctly recognized a state of
war, and throughout the proclamation
the two contending powers were re-
ferred to as belligerents, between whom
this government and all its citizens
should observe a strict neutrality. But
nothing of that kind occurs in the recent
proclamation. An unguarded express
sion recognizing the Cuban insurgents
as belligerents might have led TO very
serious consequences. The same ques-
ton came up during the Cuban insur-
rection OF 1870. when President Grant
sent special message to Congress call
ing attention to the situation. There is
reason to believe that General Grants
personal synipathies at that time were
with the insurgents, but he saw that
recognizing them as belliSerents would
involve serious consequences. He said:
The question Of belligerency is one of fact,

NEED OF BETTER SANITATION.

There is no better test of the prog
ress of a community in real civilization
than its observance of the laws Of SAM
tation. Among savages such thing as
the application Of knowledge and science
20 the preservation of health is un-
known. 1t is too little known even
among communities called civilized, but
intelligent people are coming to under
stand that it is an important feature of
modern life and especially of city life.
A city may have plenty OF churches,
good schools. good society and all the
elements of culture in many directions,
but if it is neglectful CT SAM ,ation it
is still lacking in an important feature
of urban civilization.
Indianapolis has made comparatively
less progress in this direction than it
has in many others. No city is better
supplied with churches. and few of its
size have as many able preachers. Its
schools, Notwithstanding the marked de-
terioration of the School Board in re-
cent years. still stand in the front
rank. The number and character of it's
literary clubs give evidence of the in
tellectual activity of. it's people. It's
municipal government in some respects
is equal to that of any other city, but
in respect of sanitation it has much to
learn and sill more to apply. From its
earliest days il has been a victim of bad
engineering. and the habit OF slovenly
sanitation, contracted during the village
period OF its existence was continued
so long under the old system of coun-
cilmanic government that it seems to
have become almost chronic, even I'M
der charter that provides the means
of reform. TIE time has come when it
should be recognized that conditions
which were permissible in a scattered
town of twenty or thirty thousand in
habitantS are intolerable and disgrace
full in a densely populated and rapidly
growing city of five or six times that
population. In short. it is time that
public opinion should demand a thor
ough and progressive reform in city
sanitation. An important step has been
made in this direction in the recent ex-
tension and enlargement Of the sewerage
system, but this will be of little avail
unless followed up by measures relative
to house drainage and inspection of
plumbing. The responsibility for this
and other sanitary legislation rests on
the Council, and it is striking proof of
the disposition of city authorities to
neglect this important branch of work
that, although the charter has been i'm
force more than five wears the city is
still without any legislation on the
points named and almost without any
intelligent sanitary legislation. 1t is
time for the Council, in the language of
the day, to get a move on itself in
this regard, or. that failing, the people
themselves should move.

LAW OF sELF-DEFENSE.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has recently given an exposition
of the law of self-defense which seems
common law maxim that "A mans
house is his CASTLE The case which
gave rise to the decision furnishes an
interesting illustration of that feature
of our judiciary system which gives the
federal courts criminal jurisdiction in
the Territories. 1t came up on appeal
from the United States Court for the
Western district of Arkansas, which has
jurisdiction of cases arising in the In
dian Territory. The facts were these:
One Babe Beard had three brothers-in-
law who came to his home with the ex-
pressed determination of driving away
cow which was claimed by Beard,
who had warned them not to come.
When they entered the yard a dispute
ensued and one of the brothers adj
vanced upon Beard, who had a gun, and
made a motion as If to draw from his
pocket a revolver which he already had
in his hand. At that Beard struck him
over the head, infiicting a wound from
which he died. On the trial the court
instructed the jury that under the law
of self-defense Beard was compelled to
avoid danger at the hands of the intrud-
ers vby getting out of the way if he
could, and that the only place where he
need not retreat further was his dwell
ing house. Under this charge Beard
was convicted of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary. The Su-
preme Court reversed the judgment and
ordered a new trial on the ground Of
error in the foregoing charge. Justice
Harlan, delivering the opinion of the
court, said: &c
In our opinion the court below erred in
holding that the accused, while on his
premises outside of his dwelling house
was under a legal duty to get out or the
way. If he could. of his assailant who, &C,
cording to one view of the evidence, had
threatened to kill the defendant. and In
execution of that purpose had armed him
self with a deadly weapon, with that
the DEFENDANTS premises despite the warn
ing of the latter to keep away, and by
word and act indicated his purpose to at
where he had the right to be when the
deceased advanced upon him IN threaten
ing manner and with deadly weapon
and II the accused did not provoke the as
sault and had at the time reasonable
grounds to believe and in good faith be-
leved that the deceased intended to take
his life or TO do him great bodily harm,
he was not obliged TO retreat, nor TO con-
slider whether he could safely retreat, but
was entitled to stand his ground and meet
any attack made upon him with, a deadly
weapon in such way and with such force
as under all the circumstances, he at the
moment honestly believed, and had reason
able grounds to believe. was necessary to
save his own life or to protect himself
from great bodily injury.
The decision seems to establish the
rule that a man attacked or threatened
anywhere on his own premises has a
larger right of self-defense than he has
elsewhere.

AN IMPERFECT MORAL GUIDE.

a tale comes from Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, of a woman who on her
death bed confessed to having commit
ted two murders forty years before.
One of the victims was her own infant,
an illegitimate child, the other her
grandmother. the only person besides
herself who knew of the existence of
the babe. Neither Of these murders
was suspected, and she. then reputable
young woman. had afterwards married
a farmer. and for the remainder of her
career lived a quiet, uneventful life,
loved by her husband and family. well
thought of by her neighbors, and, to all
outward appearances. peaceful and hap
Ply. She outlived her husband several
years, and for some months had been
ill with consumption. Recently, when
she became convinced that she could
not recover she made an Intellectual at
tempt to cut her throat. Later she in
sisted upon sending for man to whom
she had been engaged to be married in
quarreled over some trivial matter,
sending him away in anger. To him.
after forty years, she confessed the two
murderous deeds. telling him that he
was the father of the child. She also
called for a minister and told him the
same story. shortly after which. SEEM
insly serene in mind. she died.
Naturally the affair has created quite
a sensation in the quiet country neigh
borhood. her family and friends finding
it difficult to fit their conventional ideas
of a murderer TO this calm. gentle and
peaceable woman. 1t is not easy. even
at this distance, to adjust the under
standing to the peculiar case. Either
the woman possessed an amazing self
control that enabled her to conceal for
a lifetime all remorse and to perform
all her family and social duties in the
regulation way. or else she had but a
rudimentary conscience. 1t is more than
likely that the latter was the case.
Conscience is a cultivated faculty. 1t
does not come into existence full-fedged
and equipped with power to sting the
soul to action. The abstract knowledge
of what constitutes right and wrong
does not constitute conscience. IT is
only when this knowledge is applied
by it's possessor in judging his own &C
tions that conscience is born. This
Pennsylvania woman knew that MUIR
der was wrong and that she had COM
mitted a crime. but it is in
credible, If regret and remorse
for her deed had pricked her
all the succeeding years. that her
fortunes would not have been so great
as to betray her long ago. This is the
common theory as to the mental ac-
ton in such cases. and when the con-
science OF the offender is sensitive or be-
comes SO the theory is undoubtedly cor
rect. But that conscience is not exist
ent or is but an imperfect guide TO con-
duct is proved by the course of many
criminals after the commission of their
evil acts. If detected they may profess
regret for their conduct. but 1t is really

Recorder GoT. of New York. seems to
have some pretty good ideas of justice. A
few days ago, when ne was about to pro-
nounce sentence on a man who had pleaded
guilty to an indictment for forgery and en-
bezzlement, the defendants lawyer asked
for suspension Of sentence on the ground
of his clients social position aud former
good reputation. The Recorder heard the
lawyer through and said:
No. AS a member OF the bar you should
know that to ask for a suspension of SEN
telce in such a case is little short Of an
insult to this court. You practically ask
that /, as responsible judge of the crimi-
nal courts, should consent TO have trav-
esty made of justice. When q man snatchas
piece of fruit on the street, or some triiing
baublc. there is always a great hue and
cry. and in trice he finds himself bounded
down the street Ike a mad dog because he
is a thief. AS thief he Is knocked down,
handcuffed, and afterwards imprisoned, and
all the world cries This is right; yet
when a SNUG man, who has calmly altered
the figures in his employers books for
many years, thereby embezzi:ng more mon
ey than the other thief ever dreamt Of, is
at last brought to justice. a lawyer can al
ways be found to ask the court to suspend
sentence and let him go scot free.
If there were more judges with nerve
enough to lecture lawyers like that, justice
would be the gamer
