Citizenship Bureau.
ACCORDING to system now being formu-
lated by the state department at Washington, it ap
pears as tho most of the Americans now residing
abroad would be expatrated, unless, however, they
can furnish good reasons for doing These rea-
sons are: Representing American trade abroad;
proof that they abroad for their health or educa
tion that their return has been prevented by some
unforeseen contingency" Five years abroad is suf
cient grounds on which to expatriate any American
citizen
The object of the system it is claimed, is
aimed at those who have been claiming foreign
residence to escape taxation Another good feature
of the new citizenship bureau will be that of greater
security to genuine Americans. In the past many
alleged subjects of this country living abroad have
appealed to the United States for protection and in
many these persons had expatriated themselves
for years, contributing nothing towards their
try's welfare. It is than right to refuse to
engage international disputes when this class gets
into trouble

Our Conscience.

IT HAS been stated again and again that it is
possible for to do justice to himself and to his
fellow creatures without ever consulting his
science This assertion is false. We have all heard
the idle tale that there were certain utterly de-
void of such thing conscience, but in the final
analysis it will be found that the story is a canard.
It is true that sti6e our conscience disobey
it's admonitions, trampe upon cherished ideals,
and hold in contempt the laws which protect the
destiny of nations and society, but will find that
we cannot escape from our conscience. The famous
bard of Avon has said
"My conscience hath thousand several tongues,
And every tongue brings in several tale,
And every tale condemns me for villain"
Every man is endowed with conscience and he
should under proper conditions, know when he is
doing right and when wrong. Each day every man
has, perhaps something which his conscience must
render decision If he decides to override the YER
dict some one will be done an Injustice and the re-
suit entails less worrying and suffering.
The man who disregards his conscience by scheming
to get the best of else stultes himself and
is simply putting off the inevitable battle until flu
avoid the issue, for we must face it squarey and
fight it along the ideals which we hold to be COM
mendable and worthy of emulation.
The ideals of nation sometimes conflict with
the ideals of individuals; also the ideals of individ-
uas vary according to the culture that each has
quired but our conscience is ever the same. If we
permit it to perform it's functions shall never be
led astray into paths from which it is difficult to
cape; and finally, to fight with conscience against
the wrongs which constantly demand attention.

IT is far cry back to the feudal days when the
slord to the born used to take his retainers
on raiding expedition, but Hopkinsville, KY, wit
messed modern exhibition that ranks well with the
dark deeds of yore. Five hundred heavily armed
men marched into the town and destroyed two hun
dred thousand dollars worth of property belonging
to various tobacco This raid is the result
of feud between the tobacco trust and the tobacco
growers which has been carried with considerable
bitterness on both sides.
Whatever may be the points at issue between
the two factions the raiders not justified in de-
berately planning and executing such handed
revenge on their supposed enemies. If the growers
think themselves justified in resorting to such wild
acts of retaliation the tobacco trust could adopt SIM
liar measures by hiring thugs to burn their houses
and dwellings,. But this procedure is not according
to the statutory laws of Kentucky, for might does
not constitute right If there is such thing law
in Kentucky, it should be invoked against this and

Mine Disaster.

Mime Disaster.
The sympathy of the entire country ex-
tended to the bereaved relations of the four hundred
miners who recently lost their lives in the coal mines
at Monongah, West Virginia. The disaster the
most severe that has occurred in the coal mines
for years, and caused it is believed by fire
damp. The mine equipped with modern appli-
ances and was considered one of the safest in the
country.
When the facts are ascertaned it is very likely
to be another wherein inspectors lax in the
performance of their duties. What they considered
to be model mine, has turned out to be deadly
tiretrap This terrible accident is, undoubtedly, the
result of gross negligence of inspectors who do not
inspect. In time the authorities will be impressed
with the futty of delegating such powers to neff-
cient persons, and appoint some competent miner
who is continually employed underground with the
men. This might lessen the number of such catas-
trophies.

Ref0r71inS NeU York.

Reforming .NeW Yorb.
HEREAFTER it appears tho all the theaters of
New York City would have to close on Sunday Ac-
cording to recent decision of the courts of that
state it found that theaters giving exhibitions
on Sunday, acting in violation of the law This
includes every form of amusement, including the IA
nous Coney Island exhibitions. At present the
constitutonalty of the is being tested and
1t is likely that favorable decision will be rendered.
In the days of the Puritans such law might be
eminenty becoming and agreeable to the wishes of
the majority of the people, but it will prove to be
very unsatisfactory to the average New Yorker of
today. It is too ancient by far. Sundays is the
only time the aboring classes have to attend places
of amusement, and if this privilege is curailed it
will cause considerable dissatisfaction thruout the
entire city. New York may be in need of few
sautary reforms but the closing of the theaters
Sunday is not one of them.

'''1|iIO RIOT FOLLOWS MURDER. POLICE REMAINPASSIVE
"Black Hundreds" Avenge Assassination of
 Officials.

Odessa, May 20.-Following the assas- sination of three police officials here to-day serious rioting occurred and at eight in the evening the Black Hun dreds were running wild through the streets, merciIessly beating people, par ticularly Jews, more than a hundred of whom were seriously injured soon after the disturbances began. The po- lice apparently remained passive spec tators of the disorder. No arrests were made and the Black Hundreds con- tlnued their work of revenge uncheck- ed.
 The tragedy which led to the riot ing was as follows;
 While the superintendent of police and a number of other officials were in the central police bureau this morning two men and girl entered the build ing, deposited an internal machine in the office and hurried away, The ma chine exploded almost immediately af- forwards, killing the chief of police and the two chief detectives of this city. They were blown to pieces and seven other persons were seriously injured. The police pursued, fired at, wounded and captured the two terorists, but the girl who was with them, escaped.

AN INTERESTING CASE. LONG IN THE COURTS Testimony Taken by Major Henney of Hartford for
 U. s. Court.
Especial to the courier.l


 Clinton, Conn, May 20, 19O7.-A case that has been pending in the courts for years. which involves land and homes at Grove Beach, Westbrook, valued now at $25,OOO or $SO,OOO, which property was fo" thirty-two years owned and occu- pied by w. I. Lewis of 15 Beers street this city, the well known postoffice in- spector, and his family, came up again yesterday before Mayor William M. Henney of Hartford, acting as special master in the case for the United States circuit court.
 In the case In question: which is the suit of John c. Lewis vs John s. Lew is. the action is based on the decision of the supreme court of errors in 1904, which gave John s.

The deeds for this sale are on record in the Westbrook town clerks office.

Lewis, has bought from his father the reversionsary n- terest in the property and has entered suit in the United States circuit court for possession of 1t on account of con- ditions broken.
 On the 10th instant, the case was brought before Judge Henney, testi- mony taken as above. The tax col lector of the town of Westbrook tes- tified that John s. Lewis is not on the poll or military tax list of the town and that he is not living on the prem ises and that John s. Lewis name Is not on the list of voters of the town.
