The Right OF Self Defense.

The United States Supreme Court
has ordered a new trial for a man
who was convicted of killing anoth-
er after an assault had been made
upon him. He was convicted princi-
pally by reason of the charge of an
Arkansas Judge, who told the jury
that everywhere, except in his own
house, the law requires man to run
away, and to do everything possible
to escape from an assailant before
killing him. In his charge be even
went farther and stated that if a
man was assaulted on his own prem
ises, outside his own house, he must
do his best to escape before killing
in self defense.
Influenced by the charge, the jury
found the man guilty. He was sen
fenced to eight years Imprisonment,

trial. And it is very well that it is
so. If it were otherwise, men with
murderous inclinations would have
abundant opportunity to pick quar-
rels for the sake of an excuse to kill
man, whom for some reason or 9th.
er they disliked or hated, Under
the new ruling of the Supreme court
a man has right wherever he may
be to stand his ground and defend
himself, even to the extent of killing
a man who seeks his life, if he has
done nothing to provoke the assault.
An able law writer has said that
the legal phrase should be not the
fright" but the duty" of self-de-
Tense. The Supreme court seems to
take this plain and reasonable view

Cost of Foreign Travel.

This is the season of the year when
the steamers crossing the Atlantic 10
Europe are crowded with American
pleasure seekers Dent on & good time
abroad, and having great deal OF
surplus cash to promote it. 1t has
always been a subject of speculation
how much money is taken out of the
country annually in this way. The
estimates have ranged as high as
$3.50, 900, 900, but there is pretty good
evidence these figures are largely ex-
aggerated. A New York paper has
rendered an important service by
procuring a bank statement of the
amount of gold annually required by
tourists for the expense of foreign
ira eel from banks selling foreign ex
change, and finds that the total
amount of letters of credit issued an
nually was $55,000,000; this prob
ably applying to 1894, year of hard
times. In addition to the amount
issued by the New York banks other
moneyed institutions in the country
issue not less than 100000 year.
This would make the total 100000,
000 But the bankers say that %
per cent Of the entire issue is not
used abroad, but is returned and
cashed at home. This would leave,
in a panicky year, $47, 100000 as the
total expenditures of American tour
lists in Europe To this may be ad
ded $15,000,000 as the cost of pas
sage both ways, most of which is
paid to foreign steamship companies.
In round numbers the cost of Amer
lean foreign travel in the drain of
gold from this country may be set
down at $50,000,000 year That is,
100000 tourists averaged 5000 each.
But another item in this connec-
ton should be taken into account.
A great deal of money is brought in
to the country by immigrants and
foreign tourists. 1t is estimated at
not less than $15,000,000 a year.
These estimates, both as to the out
90 and inflow of gold, are believed to
be below rather than above the mark.
