doned Tandy Martin, of Knott coun-
ty, who was given ten-year SEN
tence for killing John j. Amburgy.

follows:
The case presents strong consider
ations for the interposition and in
diligence of the Executive in that
the killing for which the said Tandy

have heen done in defense of his
home and family from an attack
made on his home in the night time
by a crowd of armed men.

Gold Flowing Back to Europe

New York, April 16. The first en-
gagement of gold for shipment to
Europe since the financial panic of
October last was announced yester.
day, the National City Bank taking
81, 100000 for Paris. The shipment
is due to rise in exchange rates in
New York and a decline in Sterling
in Paris. Germany is reported to be
bidding actively for gold in New
York, and it was expected in Wall
street to-day that gold would go
abroad in considerable quantity next
week. A report was current that
Secretary Cortelyou might call on
banks for Government deposits if
the movements became too heavy.

SUFFRAGE IN OREGON.
Women Organize to Oppose
Female Suffrage.

A woman suffrage amendmentto
the constitution of Oregon is to be
again submitted to the voters at the
approaching election in June. The
Oregon Association Opposed to the
Extension of Suffrage to Women has
filed an argument against the amend
ment, which will be mailed to every
voter in the state, under the provi-
sions of the new law. The argument
cites the following ten reasons
against the amendment:
Because suffrage is to be regarded
not as privilege to be enjoyed, but
as duty to be performed.
Because hitherto the women Of
this state have enjoyed exemption
from this burdensome duty, and no
adequate reason has been assigned
for depriving them Of this immunity.
Because comforting suffrage upon
the women who claim it would i'm
pose suffrage upon the many women
who neither. desire it as a privilege
nor regard it their duty to seek it.
Because the need of America is not
an increased quantity but an improv-
ed quality of the vote, and there is
no adequate reason to believe that
woman's suffrage, by doubling the
vote, will improve its quality.
Because the household, not the in
dividual, is the unit of the state, and
the vast majority of women are rep
resented by household suffrage.
Because the women not so repre-
sented suffer no practical injustice
which giving the suffrage will rem
dy.
Because equality in character does
not imply similarity in function, and
the duties and life of men and. wom-
en- are divinely ordered to be differ
ent in the state and in the home.
Because the energies of women
are engrossed by their present du-
ties and interests, from which men
cannot relieve them, and it is better
for the community that they devote
their energies to the more efficient
performance of their present work
than divert them to new fields of ac-
tivity.
Because political equality will de-
prive women of special privileges
hitherto accorded them by the law.
Because suffrage logically involves
the holding of public Office, includ-
ing jury duty, and office-holding is
inconsistent with the duties of most
women.

One For LilIey.
(The Hartford Courant,)


 Congressman Lilley has certainly made his first score all right He all legged that some reporters were subsi- dzed by the submarine crowd whom he has been denouncing. The inter view, which he had to repudiate, came from enc of these, The associated correspondents, 1t will he remembered, set in at once to investigate the charges and temporarily suspended the two men accused. The investigation was prompt and the two men have been reinstated. which at the first blush looks as ii Brother Lilley had taken a fall,
 But it appears from the reports that the investigators reported that each of the suspects had taken money for booming articles from the Holland peo- pie The reason the association could not suspend them was that the offensc was committed between sessions. when the correspondents, as the regulations stand, are Independent of the organ ization. Ii is recommended that the charter be changed so as to include offenses committed when congress Is not in session.
 So the reporters go back to their seats in the press gallery. but Mir. Lil- ley proves his point The men he suspected had the goods upon them. He himself Is completely vindicated so far as the correspondents are con cerned. Now the country is look ing to see how much longer 1t will take congress 10 Investigate than 1t took the correspondents association.

REFORM.

A well known public man in Geor- gia has been making few remarks about reform. T was talking to num- Der of farmers out my way the other day" he said. They were rather ,harshly denouncing reform and the head and forefront of it. What's the matter?' I asked Didn't he do prae- tically everything he promised you he'd do?' Yes replied one of them but it didn't have the effect he said it was goin' to have "
 Rather Illuminating Reform often doesn't have the effect predicted for it This is due to several causes. One of them Is that what is labeled reform is not always reform Another Is that re- formers and reforms have their limita- tons, and some of these limitations are to he found in those who demand re form and are willing to go at least a short distance with those who try to bring it about 60 reform Is often. not to say usually, disappointing But it cannot be abandoned on that account.

MORE SINCERE FLArIERy,

Imitation is the sincerest flattery, and if the boys who are being educated care anything about fattery they had something to be pleased with in the returns from the girls basketball game in Vermont the other day, in which several girls were injured enough to say so and some little more.

 This broken leg will help educate this young lady, just as broken legs and other injuries help educate young men Curiously enough, just as the eff fleets of modern education on young ladies are beginning to show them selves. there are arising critics of such education.

TO CUT ENGLAND's DRINK BILL.

Westward. eastward, northwsrd and southward the star of prohibition. or better regulation of the traffic in intox- icatine lidCors, takes it's way.

 England's drink bill has been such big one that it has long been felt that something must be done to reduce it. If the Liberal plan doesn't prevail, probably some modification of it will
