This action, which charged the defendants with
maliciously tearing down fence enclosing
land of Frederick Zahn, resident of Mclean

mitted to jail for thirty days each. Defendants
both paid their fine and were discharged.

The following interview is trustworthy in
every particular, for both it and the editors
comments were submitted to Mr.. Sherman
and carefully revised. The interview is as
fol ows:
HALE's DEFEAT.
"It strikes me rather curious said the
secretary, swinging round in his easily turn
lead pencil, 'sthat Hale should be defeated.
He has large number of workingmen in his
district, and was the most persistent in Con-
gress for finding work for them to do. He
was always getting appropriations for gov
eminent work in his district-some that l
do not think was necessary, and did not ap-
prove of-and yet he was defeated. 1t shows
that personal popularity is not to be made
by getting appropriations for public work. y
THE EFFECT OF NAMES FLOP.
"What do you think, Mr.. Sherman, will be
the general effect of the Maine election on
the Republican party?"
This was leading question, but was an
swered without hesitation: 81 Think said
Mr. Sherman, 'that there exists verv great
misrepresentation on the subject of national
finances. Of course large number of re-
cruits to the National party have been drawn
from the Republican party. In fact, some
of the very men who were first to take up
antl-slavery doctrines seem to be the first to
imbibe greenback notions. These men, in
becoming Greenbackers, do not cease to be
Republicans and can never become Demo-
Gratis. My financial policy has been so mis-
represented that they have thought it neces-
sary to seek new party as a relief for the
hard times, but these Misrepresentation
time will correct, and when they come to I'M
derstand the true situation, they will, I be-
lieve, renew their allegiance to the Republi-
can party
NATIONAL BANK NOTES VS.. LEGAL TENDERS.
"There are some points, Mr.. Sherman,
that have never clearly understood in your
policy. Why, for instance, do you consider
National bank notes to be better as form
of currency than government legal ten
der?''
81 do not. On the contrary, currency
issued directly by the government would be
superior and more economical than national
bank notes; but there are at present some
obstacles in the road. When the national
banks were first organized, it was as sub
stitute for the wildcat banks of the time

BOARD OF PUBLIC FORKS.

street improvements Ordered-COmo Av-
enue-The Rice Street Sewer.
An adjourned meeting of the board of
public works was held yesterday morning.
1t was ordered that an advertisement for
bids for grading Lafayette avenue be pub
lished.
1t was recommended that a report be sent
to the council for the opening and extending
of Bertha street in the Sixth ward, to the
effect that the improvement was proper and
necessary. Estimated cost, $4,000.
Inc city attorney and chairman of the
council committee on sewers appeared, and
urged that some measures be adopted towards
improving the condition of Wabashaw street
sewer. After some discussion the matt en-
was deferred, and will be brought before the
common council to- day.
The clerk reported that pursuant to in
structions he had offered for sale o building
standing on Como avenue belonging to the
city and was only offered $32 for it, and in
asmuch as the building had cost the city
$500 he had adjourned the sale until 8 P. M.
and wished Instructions in the premises.
The board instructed to entertain no bid less
than 800.
Commissioner Rice offered the following,
which was adopted:
Resolve0, That the attention of the common
council be respectfully called to the importance
of extending Sycamore street from Rice street
to Como avenue, at point on said avenue
north of the railroad crossing, it being the
opinion of the board that this should be done
before the property shall be sub-divided into
blocks and lots.
Mr.. Becker moved that the common
council be requested to appropriate for the
R1ce street sewer for work done and materi-
al furnished under the superintendent of
the city engineer, $7,O5172, as per pay roll
ana Dill, SAID work having been done and
material purchased under a resolution of the
board. Adopted.

rae rnuaxAx RAILROAD ACT.

An impression seems to prevail in the
minds OF many that Senator Thurman's
bill. known As the Judiciary Bill. which
provides for the formation OF a sinking
fund to liquidaie the Indebtedness Of the
Pacific railroads to the Government. ia a
Democratic measure calculated to re-
lieve the people from the unjust extor.
tons OF the Pacific roads. The bill is q
good one. and was supported by both
political parties, but so FAR as operating
to the benefit OF the people is concerned.
1t operates in precisely the other way.
1t is q measure which Is calculated to
benefit the States in the East through
which the roads do not pass. and upon
whose citizens the corporations have no
power. But from Omaha to San Francis
CO the direct result OF the Thurman bill
has been TO add to the already grisvous
burdens under which the people groaned.
by its provisions the companies are
compelled to pay into the Treasury an.
nually the sun Of Sl.900,0OO Us u
Sinking Fund. to be applied to the pay.
ment Of their Indebtedness to the Gov
eminent. The companies are talking OF
contesting the const~itutionality OF the
law. but at the same time they are pre-
pairing to DO enabled to pay the money
without detriment to themselves by
squeezing 1t out OF the people OF Me-
vada and every other State through
which their roads run. We only men,
ton these facts to show that this So
called Democratic measure ia not
calculated In any way to relieve the bur-
dens OF the citizens Of Nevada ; IL is
not an act to restrict the power OF the
railroads TO Cypress us /; onthe contrary.
il furnishes them an additional induce
ment To charge exorbitant rates OF
fares and freights. The bull is a good
one. nevertheless. and what we want
now is a Republican Congress to pass
an additional Measure Of relief which
shall prevent the companies from ex-
tracing blood money from the people to
pay their honest debts.

press has been free from censorship it
has become a vast power both for
good and for evil. Fortunately its
aggregate power has been exercised in
behalf of civil liberty and for the ad-
vancement and elevation of mankind,
and while our criminal laws have been
libersliZed, it is remarkable that not
withstsndIng the increased means OF
intercourse and transmission of inteIll
gence by railroad and telegraph, the
civil esponsibility of the publisher,
remains substantially the same that 1t
was in the days of stage coaches. They
are civilly responsible for the truth of
what they publish, however grave and
important the. matter, though to
await verifcatIon would be to lack
that enterprise inpeTitively demanded
By an intelligent and exscting public.
Because so much is due to the
freedom of the press" and be-
cause our liberties depend on Its
maintenance, those who by a licen-
tious course impair its usefulness and
intiueuca endanger its security by libel
ing the citizen, should be promptly
punished. a. citizen ought not to be
subjected to the strong temptation to
breach of the peace because his enc
my is the proprietor of a printing
press through which he maliciolsly
assalls him.
