ANY abridgement of fear of the anar-

in our laws and government may be urged,
and any arguments, however wild or gro
tesque, advanced to justify them pro-
vided the method of change be orderly
and lawful, but published writing
recommending the murder of the chief
magistrate and the violent overthrow of
the government is a seditious libel at COM
mon law, and there is no good reason
why public utterance of spoken words
of the same purport should not be made
the like offense by statute. II Is already
criminal to advise felony or grave mis-
demeanor If the advice leads to the crime

The Weather.
Jupiter Pluvius continues to disport him

which was noted in his operations for
few days has been broken and a good
rain is falling tonight.
Opinions vary as to the desirablity of
so much rainfall at this season of the
year. Most of the farmers seem to be of
the opinion that the general effect on the
crops is bad, but a few declare that the
soil In this locality is of such a COM
position as to require great deal of mois-
ture at this season, in order to bring
vegetation to its best yield. However this
may be, the opinion seems to be that to
date the outlook Is good, and predictions
are heard on all hands for a bumper har-
vest this fall.
