A singular libel suit has been be-
gun at Greensbug, the plaintiff be-
ing the Franklin Fire Insurance
Company of indianapolis and the de-
PENDANT the Standard newspaper.
The singularity of the suit is in the
fact that it is brought by a corpora
ton, and this is probably tho first
time, in this state at least, where
such thing has been done. The
cause is an advertisement published
in the Standard by an insurance
agent, in which he charged that the
Franklin, among other companies,
was not good and had been refused
permission to do business in several
states. The publisher of the Stand
ard, the complaint alleges, refused to
retract the statement editorially, and
suit is therefore brought against the
author OF the advertisement. Some
interesting points are involved in
this suit which it Is to be hoped will
come to trial, but as a corporation
can only recover to the extent OF in
juries that are proved is a
difficult thing to dot is not likely
that the Franklin will recover DANA
ges in any event, but it will have the
opportunity OF showing its condition
and silencing such charges against
its solvency, which doubtless is all
that is desired.

The telegraph has briefly an
nounced the arrest in New York Of
notorious burglar named Jim Brady,
but passing at the time of his
arrest under the name OF Oscar ID.
Peterson. In brief sketch of his
criminal career the New York Times
recalls the following adroit and sue
cessful robbery perpetrated about
seven years ago on saving bank in
Philadelphia. in which 100000 was
stolen. Brady was the leader in this
robbery. Just before the bank
closed, Brady dressed in apoliceman's
uniform. appeared at the bank and
told the officers that he was from the
city detective Office. He said that a
gang of burglars had for some days
been making arrangements to rob
the bank, and they would make the
attack that night. The burglars had
all been spotted" he said, and he
was ordered to put guard OF officers
in the bank that night and arrest the
burglars at their work. He request
ed the officials to make no stir or fuss
that would betray their knowl edge
to the gang and thus drive them
from their contemplated attempt,
and so prevent their arrest. The
officers were very happy to comply

with all the detectives requirements.
That night, at late hour, Brady and
two companions, all uniformed, got
admitted to the bank by two watch
men on duty, who had been so in
structed. Soon after Brady said to
one of the watchmen: There go two
of the burglars: let us watch them!"
The Waterman went out with Brady,
and they went on an extended beat.
In the meantime the two policemen
within the bank overpowered the re-
naming Waterman and bound and
gagged him. When Brady returned
with the other they treated him like
wise. Then they took the money in
the bank, amounting to 100000, and
left. He has committed various
other burglaries and robberies, and

nation Of applicants for teachers GER

following. As this examination will
occur on the last Saturday OF the
month, the State Board questions
will be used. 1t Is therefore, OF the
utmost Importance TO those expect
ing an examination in this month, TO
govern themselves accordingly, as it
is not designed to hold an examina-
ton at the close of the institute. The
annual institute is held earlier in the
season this year than formerly out OF
q desire to interfere as little as pos
sible with the session of the schools
1t is hoped the time thus selected
will meet the approval of school off,
GERS and teachers, and that all will
unite in securing full attendance.
A programme OF exercises will be
arranged and sent TO the teachers OF
the county in due time. Every facil-
ity for Improvement will be afforded
teachers, of which the limited means
at our disposal will admit. These an
nual Institutes are authorized by law
and should be attended by all teach
ers ofthe county. w. Il. BAILEY,

The South Bend Tribune says:
@The demagogue viii now have to
take a back seat in politics. He
ought to; but he will not, and the
worst OF It is the people are disposed
to allow him to come to the front on

seems as II the people want to be
tricked and humbugged, and the fell
low who can most successfully pull
the wool over their eyes Is the man

people have witnessed the supreme
demagoguery OF Blue Jeans Williams,
it would really seem that they should
feel disposed to vary the old custom
and give the frauds the cold shoulder.

We have some hope OF the temper

ceased abusing the traffic and those
engaged in it. and is turning its at
tention to teaching men not to drink
it will accomplish more good than in
any other way. The demand for
liquor wiz always find a supply, no
matter how strong laws are against
the sale. Laws can't be made strong
enough to make the use Of liquor
prohibitory. The only way to affect
it is by creating sentiment against

entitled to just pay for services rem
dered the State or Nation; the only
question is, shall we have honesty in
office? We ought TO have, but it is a
fact that truly honest men very
rarely seek political distinction; and
IL an honest man did seek it, he
would hardly be elected. 1t has
come to this pass: political parties
seek TO nominate men who have the
most strength, and as trickery is a
power in political campaign,
tricksters are generally put to the
front. 1t is barely possible that
some good may come OF this decla-
nation in favor of party-a new
party-that shall have honesty, and
integrity for its foundation princi-
pies; but such declarations come
with i'll grace from Mr.. Reeve, who
owes his election to his fidelity to
the democratic party, a party which
is so foully corrupt and dishonest that
it is the disgrace Of the country. II
Mr.. Reeve is anxious to sacrifice
upon his declared hobby of
honesty. let him resign his position
as Senator and run for reelection on
the independent platform of honesty.
In doing this he would be compelled
in all consistency to denounce the
party, in which case he
could have very few, if any, demo-
cratic votes. And republicans would
not support him unless he gave proof
Of the sincerity of his declaration.
