I,iBEL suits against newspaper publish
ers and editors have been fashionable for
years, and with the exception of the late
verdict against Storey Of the Chicago
Times. have been very unsatisfactory to
the plaintiffs. A man in Cincinnati has
recently hit upon q plan which will
doubtless prove more satisfactory. He
has learned the party who furnished the
information and brought suit against
him. We heartily endorse this new
move - it will make parties more care
full shout the reports they furnish news
papers if it becomes fashionable to hold
them instead of the paper responsible for
the truthfulness of the report. People
outside Of the newspaper business have
no idea how often editors are called upon
by persons who inform them that they
owe a duty to the public il exposing
such and such one, but at the same
time request that their names are not
mentioned in the matter. The Wichita
Beacon speaks on this matter as follows:
Hereafter we shall make it standing
rule, when anyone sends a communities:
ton in which be touches upon the con.
duct or improprieties Of Others, that he
shall attach his name in full TO the doc
ument. The world has for six thousand
years, more or less. been sailing under
false cOlors, and it is the work of the
century to bring everything
down to a true standard. So hereafter,
when you wish to punch up John, or
Jake, or Kate. or any of the family, just
put your whole name to the communica-
lion and face the music. YOar name
has as good right 70 bear the burden of
your own production as ours and if you
have not the courage tn back up your
OWN facts or fancies, don't ask us to doit. |

Oficial Notiee-Centenuial Medals.

In order to enable the public to dis
tinguish Centennial medals issued from
the United States Mint by order of Con
gress, the United States Centennial Board
of Finance have found it necessary tc
issue the following:
U. s. CENTENNIAL BOARD OF FINANCE
PHILADELPHIA, March "a, 1875.
1t being deemed essential "that medals
with appropriate devices, emblems and
inscriptions commemorative of the Gen.
tennial Anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence" should be officially
issued, the Congress Of the United States
by special act approved June 16, 1874,
directed the same to 'be prepared at the
Mint for the Centennial Board of Finance
subject to the provisions Of the fifty-sec-
ond section of the Coinage Act of 1874,
upon the payment of sum not less than
the cost thereof, and all the provisions,
whether penal or otherwise, of said Coin
age Act against the counterfeiting or i'm
itation of coins of the United States shall
apply to the medals struck and isued
under tue provisions of this act" These
Medals, having been prepared and issued
are now being sold by the Centennial
Board of Finance and its agents, and the
profits arising therefrom strictly applied
in aid of the preparation for the celebra-
ton of the anniversary which the medals
commemorate. They are the only med
ais relating to the great events of 1876
officially issued, and may be readily dis
from any of the tokens styled
Centennial medals and issued by private
parties for their individual profit, from
the fact that in addition to the design
and other wording, the larger medals
have stamped upon them. "Act of Con-
gress, June, 1874" and the others, "By
of the Congress of the United
States"
These official medals are of four kinds
small gilt at 81; large bronze at %;
coin silver at 50; large gilt ut IS; or all
enclosed in one case at &ll. Cautionary
notice is hereby given that the Centen.
NAL Board of Finance intends to avail
itself of the protection and privilege
granted by the acts of Congress above
and that the highly penal
provisions for publishing, counterfeiting
Or initiating the authorized official med
ais will be strictly enforced against all
and violation.
