The man IN Jail lays down the propo-

J states that this act consisted in shooting
at his wife. The intent and purpose which
he was legitimately pursuing, he argues,
being insufficient grounds for landing
man in jail, he asks that the accident
growing out of this act be overlooked and
that his liberty be restored to him.
On this proposition can the president

with him or to even remain inactive.

both elements by not deciding the issue
raised.
1t is said a southerner who heard of the
presidents dilemma advised him to send
for .Chauncey Depew and David Nation,
Carries husband. Let them debate the
question, he advised Chauncey contend

his wife and David expounding the theory
that a man has that right. 1t is not be-

fear to go on record on the subject of
married mans woes. Should they take

popularity in the home districts.
Viewed from all sides the question seems
one against which all the strenuous quail
tiles attributed to the president can avail
nothing. About the only course he can
take. his friends say,-is to announce that
he has it unoer consideration and so let
it rest until it passes from the public
mind.
