Tin Jacksonville Times man
ells upon the next legislature to
make some radical change in the
libel law. He severely criticises
the present law in his paper in the
following language. The laws of
the country, especially Oregon,
give too much ' latitude to the
swindlers, schemers and black
mailers whom it iB the province of
the press to expose, and even en
courage such classes to proceed
against the newspapers who have
stumina enough to denounce them
and thus give warning to the
public. The Times is defendant
in a suit brought by an irrespons
ible, imprudent abventurer, who
had victimized a number of people
in southern Oregon, itii now he
seeks to recover $10,000 damages
because we, in pursuance of our
duty as a journalist, called public
attention to his dishonest and un-
worthiness. A radical change in
the lib ;1 law in this state should
be made by the legislature at its
next session. The chief justic of
Rhode Island in charging a jury
in a libel suit recently, thus laid
down nhe rights of the press: "I
think that a public newspaper has
a right to comment upon and
criticize in the discharge of public
duties. I think that if the pub
lishers discover what they consider
to be defeats they have a right to
point them out. If there are facts
which suggest fault, I think the
press has a right to eritic'ze and
censnre. If in the exercise of this
freedom of comment they act
freely and honestly, and meaning
to do what is right, they cannot be
held accountable. It is of great
importance to the public that the
papers should have this liberty.
If there should be none to censure
or criticize, "frauds would grow
more and more intolorable, to the
manifest peril of the public welfare,
and therefo e you can see that the
public have a great interest in
maintaining the right of the public
press to freely and fairly criticize."
This is the way the Star of
Bethlehem, a-pper published in
Leeds, England, makes editorial
mention of the recent Chicago
strike. The Star of Bethlehem
says: "A big revolution is uow
gjing on in the United-States of
America and there is little doubt
but that the government will be
defeated. The dictator, Debs, has
been driven from his palace and he
and his minisners are .now in
hiding in the mountains. The
greatest trouble is being experi
enced in the oapitol of Chicago,
whjre Grover Cleveland, the ring
leader of the rebels, has obtained
complete control. The 'railroad
track at that place has been torn
up and thrown into the Missis
sippi river, a stream considerably
longer than the Severn, and the
stockyards, where the government
palaces are- situated, have been
razed to the groutid. The trouble
was started by a man named Pull
man, who has a strong hold in the
mountains of Illinois, one of the
most considerable provinces of the
country. The man Pullman man
ufactures a cattle car." And the
people of the country where this
ignorant sheet is published have
the audacity to send a committee
t) investigate and report on the
civilization of the people here!

The steamer , Signal, plying
between British Columbia and
Portland, the smuggling route, is
due here in a few days with eight
or ten Chinamen aboard. This is
the first time in several months
that any have come over. It only
servos to bring to mind the old
methods when the Haytian Rep
ublic came in sometimes with
hundreds, many of whom were
landed. Those days are past
There is no more smuggling.
Customs otlicilas that do their
duty instead of standing in are
now in control. Possibly some of
the Chinese on this trip are not
entitled to land. If to thev will
present condition of the Chinese
traffic is in queer contrast to that
of May and June of 1893 when
from 100 to 700 came on each trip
of the steamships. Those pei'mms
that yet believe there was no smug
gling should note this. Why is
it that there are not hundreds of
Chinese "merchants" "roturning"
now as there were in 1893? Are
not the necessities of trade as
great? How is it that about 1,400
"merchants" were permitted to
to land during 1892 and '93 wihle
less than 100 havj come since?

The largest vessel ever built in
America will be launched at the
famous Cramp ship yards in Phila
delphia this month. The giant
merchantman, the six-decker St.
Louis of the American Line, will
recieve its initial baptism in the
waters of the Qeleware and a new
era in the history of the American
merchant marine will be inaugur
ated. . While aa large as the Lu-
cania and her twin sister, the
Campania, nor endowed with their
horse-power, the St. Louis will be
greater and swifter than the Paris
or New York and will make at
least 20 knots an hour on her
trans-Atlantic voyages. The new
vessel is more than one-tenth of a
mile long, being 554 feet over all,
with an extreme beam of 63 feet
and a tonnage of 11,000 tons.
Her chief glory will be that she
has been contracted from keelson
to truce of America steel in an
American shipyard and represents
American skill and muscle in
model, design, material and build
ing. Preladelphia is justly proud,
remarks the Record of that city,
that her citizens have contributed
their enterprise, money, brains
and muscle to this pioneer of our
future merchant marine.
There are a great many little
things in life that bring happiness
or cause misery. The thoughtless
ness that will caUBe some loved one
way from home to neglect to
write to the friend for an unusual
length of time, is a cause of wo. ry,
and clouds the happinesB of the
family at home. A little matter
which has been a grievence, and
has passed, is often talked about
and dwelt upon in the home, and
theraby brings discomfort and
irritation. A word of detriment
spoken against some one of whom
words of commendation hove just
been told, cj'sU a shadow over the
haracter of the subject, and often
times a life-long prejudice is
formed iu consequence. " Words
with stings in them, thrown out to
one another, about this or that,
coming in or going out of the
home, destroy the peace and joy of
that circle. Words of commenda
tion unspoken when some one has
done the best to please us are un
just, and rankle in the heart
Why is it that it is so much more
natural with some of us to find
fault than to encourage? Ex.
Tiikre is some talk that the legis
lature will attempt to abrogate the
franchisee granted the Oregon Pacific
several years ago. Whether these
agitators are doing this through ignor
ance, or with a view to hastening s
sale of the properties, is a matter of
conjecture. Many people seem t.
confound the legislative function of
tbe government with that of the judi
cial or executive department. The
legislature has power to pass laws,
and also power to repeal certain legis
lative acts, but It has no moral or
legal right to abrogate franchises. It
is the function of the Judicial branch
of the government to adjudicate the
rights of parties, so, if it is possible to
annul these franchises, it can be done
only by the courts. If the agitators
of this matter will bring about a
speedy sale of tbe road to parties who
will place it on a solid basis and ex
tend the line eastward, no one can ob
ject to it; but if, on the other hand
through some hook or crook, the
matter should get into the courts, the
result niigh t be a public calamity.
Agitation of this subject will propably
results in no good to anyone, and the
least said about it the better. Cor-
vallis Gazette.
No se&siable man, savs au ex;
a newspaper man duns him for
money. A dun is not an impeaoe
m ent of the subscriber's integrity,
but 1b simply an out-oTopping of
the publisher's neceaities. For
instance, a thousand men one one
man from one to four dollars each.
He has to dun them all in order to
pay expenses. Instead of getting
angry and stopping the paper be
cause the publisher asks him for
whutis honestly due, the sub
scriber should thank the publisher
for waiting on him so patiently
and pay up like a man.
The course of politics and the
confusion of parties come from an
effort to dodge issues, ins end of
frankly meeting them. Planks
are too frequently put into plat
forms that mean all things to all
men. They are so worded as to
mean protection to the protection
ist and tariff reform to the tariff re
former; to mean the gold standard
to the apostle of gold, and silver
coinage to the bimetalist. This is
no time for straddling. Ex.
When a man is through with
his day's work, and is Bitting down
resting in the home, he cannot
read the advertisments on the
fences, and the hand-bills and cir
culars which were left on his door
step during the day and have been
blown away or destroyed. Busi
ness men, say what you have to
say in the home paper and your
"ad" is sure to be read.
The house- of Chief Pottoffice
Inspector James E. Stewart' at
Chicigo, was entered by burglars
on Satarday last and thoroughly
ransacked. The Inspector is now
in San Francisco, and it will not
be known how much the robbers
secured until the Inspector returns
and boks over his valuables.
Reports from the hop fields of
Washington indicate that the
yield will not be more than one
third or one-half the usual crop.
With the poor outlook for price,
it don't make much difference to
the grower whether he has any
crop or not.
The Roseburg district fair was a
financial failure again this year,
the Review says: The receipts
were 1,770 besides the $600 state
Appropriation, while the total ex
penses will run 1300 or $400 over
that.
Collector Blackuan figures out
that there are 300,000 packs of
playing cards in the northwest
that will have to be stamped. De
puties will go over the field to see
that the law is enforced.
