WORK FOR REFORMERS.

IL would appear to conservative
minds that some of our laws could be
reformed yet with safety to life and
protection to private business. In the
case of the State vs.. Jas. w.
feld, wherein the defendant
was accused of assault with q
deadly weapon, Judge S.ockey on
Tuesday discharged the defendant.
There was no evidence that the revolt
yer was loaded and white the defend
ant admitted that he seized and ex.
hibited the revolver he denied that he
took aim or even raised the weapon in
threatening manner. This evidence
was held not to establish an assault
with u deadly weapon.
Itappears from the evidence that
r. O'Neill acting a. attorney for the
Lawyers Cooperative Co., of Roches.
ter, n. v, made demard for books
sold to the defendant hut fortified by
non-payment. He was acting solely
within the line Of his professional duty
in the discharge Of the routine business
of his profession. 1t does not appear
from the evidence that he was unduly
He put one hand In his
pocket but neither drew his pen knite
nor bunch Of keys nor exhibited them
to assault the defendant.
The state ought to protect man in
the pea cefui pursuit of his business,
and laws along this line should be
made the subject Of careful conside,a-
ton for the action of the next reform

Paris, April 1.-THE Petit Parisien,

render more difficult the task of the
friends of peace.
The Autorite thinks that an armistice
i'm Cuba will be Ineffective.
The Journal expresses the opinion that
the Americans are carrying the Monroe
doctrine to extremes
The Natin says the message proves
President McKinleys sang froid. His
sentiments are sincerely pacific, and all
depends upon the Cuban insurgents re-
ception Of the suggestion OF suspension
Of hostilities
The Eclair says the message does not
involve an immediate declaration OF war;
neither does il encourage optimistic hopes.

Vienna. April l2-Commenting upon
President McKinley's message. the Frem-

peace and seeks to manage il by estab-
fishing the right Of Intervention of the
United States Army in Cuba. This. the
paper thinks. makes the situation of the
Spanish government toward public cpin-
ion difficult. The significance Of the
words stable government in Cuba is
doubtful. The conclusion of the Frem-
denhlatt is that the decision as between
war and peace has been adjourned. The
Tageblatt says the message seems to
avoid an immediate rupture in order to
effect a rupture at propitious moment.
