English judges are becoming somewhat
rigorous in the punishment of convicted
libellers. Mr.. James Mortimer, editor
and publisher of the London Figure, an
American, has just been fined G10O and
sentenced to three months Imprisonment
for publishing libel-and not very
gross one-on Mr.. Weldon, the husband
of Mrs. Georgia Weldon. Although
pleading guilty before the court, making
the fullest explanations and the humblest
apologies, Mr.. Mortimer was pronounced
guilty by jury, and the judge has inflicted
what the law calls exemplary" punish
ment, that is, has made an example of the
Figu0. The effect of such examples :"
will not be lost on English journalism;
and if the editor of Truth should also be
sent 10 "quod," there will be something
of II panic among the libertines of the
London press. The libel law is II whole.

The rapid development of the trade in
dead meat from America is one of the
most striking and distinctive commercial
features of our times. Improved steam

bulk, and with marvellous rapidity, to our
|
doors, the plentiful productions of the vast
continent Of America Had it not been so
rapid the benefit which the public has un-
doubtedly derived from it, would perhaps,
have been none the less; while the agri,
cultural classes of this country would have
been less the sufferers by competition with
this wide and apparently inexhaustble
field of production. have no doubt, how
ever that the British farmers will "weath-

the dead meat imported was Gl32537. In
1915, the last year of protection, the
imports Of live animals for food purposes
and of dead meat, taken together, was
stated to DC to the value of f442, 02l and,

Governor Garcelon is said to have lost
his practice and to be coldly received in
families where lie was always welcome
before. One of the counted-in members
of the fusion legislature was dropped from
the list of directors of a bank in whose
management he had been prominent hith
erto, and an insurance company mt Bangor
refused TO re elect as II director John b.
Foster, one of Garcelon's councillors,
though he had been their president for
some years; and other similar eases are
reported. The democrats think these are
shocking examples of political proscrip.
ton carried into social and business life,
but. rs the Worcester Spy well points out,
none of these men were prescribed for
being democrats, and while they were
known to belong to that party they were
selected by their republican associates for
important trusts, and would have been
continued in such trusts, doubtless, but for
their acts of political dishonesty. 1t is
not strange that the members of these
Maine corporations and the people gener-
ally refuse to recognize a radical distnc-
tion between political and other forms of
dishonesty, and prefer to select for respon-
sible positions men who are without re-
proach.

WOMAN'S WISDOM.

"She insists that it is of more import
ance that her family shall be kept in full
health, than that she should have all the
fashionable dresses and styles of the times.
She theoefore sees to it, that each member
of her family is Supplied with enough Hop
Bitters at the first appearance of any
symptoms of i'll health, to prevent u fit of
sickness with its attendant expense, care
and anxiety. All women should exercise
their wisdom in this way. "-New Hauen

MAINE.-The fusion legislature has sub
mitted its view of the middle to the su-
preme court and asks its opinion. The
answer has not been received. Governor
Davis Friday night ordered out three mill
tia companies and they now guard the
State House. This was done because OF
runors that the fusionsts were enrolling
men and preparing to occupy the State
House by force. Governor Davis seems
to be lighter headed man than ex-Gov.
Chamberlin and if the republicans keep
on the track they have been following for
a week they will reduce their management
to pretty near the low level that has here
tofore been occupied almost exclusively by
the fusionists.

business This Year.

A year and more has passed since re-
sumption was accomplished and gold and
silver offered in payment of debt have
ceased to excite surprise. The evil effects
prophesied have not appeared and business
runs ON surer foundation than for years
before.
The record of failures during the year
1879 shows a great falling off both in
number and in amount of liabilities. And
the decrease is so great rs to mark with
certainty a much more healthy state of
business activity.
Besides the solidity given by sounder
currency the country has been blessed
with abundant crops and good foreign
market for the surplus which was availa-
BILE for export. The advantages given by
n favorable harvest and good prices for
exports has of course been of greater
benefit directly to the middle and western
states than to the east.
But while the west gets more directly
the proceeds of our immense export trade
eastern Wholesale merchants find their ac-
count in larger sales throughout the west.
Manufactured goods too have there u
greater sale and so New England is not
" left out in the cold"
When congress met we think the bust
ness men of the country would on the
whole have been satisfied to let matters
rest without further financial legislation.
And for this reason; congress has so many
men with wild notions on finance that
there is no faith that the gates once opened
bad legislation would not get through.
1t is common sense and business sense
that recognizes that logically the green
backs should cease to have attached to
them a pretended legal tender value
They would be rs useful without that pre-
tended value and would be voluntarily
accepted rs freely rs now; while the rea-
son for the legal tender law went years
ago. That was a necessity of war.
But while this is true it is also true that
business is fourishing with matters az
they are, and that while Morrill, and Bay.
ard are in congress Kelly and Weaver are
also there. If legislation comes the
chances are that it will not be of the righ
kind but will make things worse.
The coming presidential contest too will
hurt business. There will be excitement
and denunciation and all the accompanying
evils of bitter partisan conflict through
out the nation. But if congress will let
things alone and adjourn early and if the
people will hold down political excitement
all that is possible, 1880 will be an exceed
ingly good business year.

Jules Favre, the eminent French repub-

century he was brave and outspoken
enemy of royalty, and the consistent
champion of free institutions. He opposed
Louis Napoleon's election to the presiden-
cy, and though elected to the legislature
refused to take the oath. He boldly
defended Orsni for attempting the life Of
Napoleon, and otherwise showed his
detcstation of the monarchy which the
emperor had built upon the ruins of the
republic.

to the Banbury or Fiery Seam, in which

lives were lost The gaseous nature o.
