The theory of lf-defense was con-

defends himself. If there be an ap-
pearance Of danger, caused by the acts

on words accompanying such demon
strations. calculated to produce an ap-
prehension OF peril, the party killing is
justified if he act on such appearance
Of danger, even though it may subse-
quently appear there was IN reality no
danger at ALL 1t is sufficient if the
party ia good faith believes from the
facts as they appear at the time that his
life is in peril or that he is in danger
Of great bodily harm. But words, un-
accompanied by threatening gesture,
never Justify an assault. A person need
not avoid danger by retreat, so long as
he is where he has a right to be, and
is not the aggressor in bringing OF a
difficulty, but the assaulting party is
bound to retreat as far as possible con-
ssiatent with safety, unless prevented by
the fierceness Of the attack Under
these rcumstances, killing to save his
own life would be excusable homicide

SILVER QUESTION uPPERMosT.

form Of True Democracy.

Omaha, Jan. S.-The Jacksonian Club,
the leading democratic organization of
the state celebrated the SD anniversary
of the birth of their patron saint by
banquet tonight All the notabes OF the
state democracy were present. E3-Gov-
ernor Horace Boies was the principal
speaker. He turned his attention to the
currency question and said that the dem
ocratic party, to survive, must. al the
next national convention, discard political
attitudes of every description, commit the
party unequivocaliy to a ratio at which
gold and silver shall be equally and freely
coined and point out legislation that
should be adopted to preserve the parity
Of the two metals. The masses of the
American voters will come to the aid Of
the party thus committed, and the de-
mocracy will again be triumphant. 1t it
fails to do this, changing circumstances
or a better judgment than my own must
reveal the issue on which it can succeed" !"

Berlin. JanS.-The reichstag reassem-
bled today and resumed he debate on the
ant-reyoluton bill. Herr Auer said the
government introduced the measure so
that in the event of its expected rejection
there would be a pretext for a dissolution
Of parliament, in order TO obtain from a
new parliament Increased grants for mil
tary purposes. The reason assigned for
Introducing the bill. that the existing PEN
al law was inadequate, was not warranted.
Auer declared such arguments were al
ways used when it was intended to cur
tail the liberties Of citizens. The anti-rev-
olution bill, he insisted, was solely direct
ed against the ocial-democrats, and ev
eryone who did not agree that there was
necessity for the protection of the mon
archy. \ large number of Germans, he
added, favored republic and there was a
growing tendency towards the Byzantine
rule which betokens a national democracy.
