A PECULIAR 1IBEL DECISION.

The courts of California have recently
given practical construction of the law
of libel, even If it is somewhat in discord
with the leading cases reported-or best
opinions-in this branch of law. The
decision opens up vast field to enter
prising journalists of vituperative turn,
and will doubtless prove perfect
bonanza to newspapers whose "influ-
ence" is in demand.
The proprietors of the San Francisco
Bulletin and Call brought suit against
DeY Dung, proprietor of the OAronicle, for
libel. The plaintiffs alleged that the de-
defendant charged them with selling the
influence of the Bulletin and Gall to the
Central Pacific railroad for $50, 900. The
defendants counsel demurred to the
complaint, on the ground that the state
ment was not ibelous, and the court, in
sustaining the demurrer, said:
Talent is as much the capital of the advo-
cate, the lawyer and the editor as merchandise
is of the merchant; he has as much right to
sell his talents as the merchant his merchan-
disc. The lawyer, the minister, the pArlia-
mentary advocate, the lecturer, the author,
sells his talent, and he is not the less respected
for SO doing. The greater his learning, indus
try, eloquence, and the esteem in which he is
held, the greater his pecuniary compensation.
1t seems to me that it is no more ibelous to
accuse one of selling for gain the support and
advocacy of his newspaper than it would be
to accuse the merchant of sellingfor gain his
merchandise. The demurrer is Sustained.

THE editor of the Minneapolis Journal
is devoting the greater portion of his
editorial space to explaining and apollo
giving because his brother accepted an
appointment as district judge. We did
not suppose before these labored apologies
that there was anything disreputable in
the affair, though perhaps it would have
been safe to assume that the brother of
such an editor would not have been
willing to accept unless there was a
spice of 'tcrookedness'' thrown in.
We note, however, that the newly ap-
pointed judge took good care to swear in
within few hours after his appoint
ment, and the next day started on a
months pleasure tour to California. This
enables him to draw his salary without
rendering any service, and though the
swindle is not very immense one, it
ought to crafty the editor, who seems to
think that there is for ought to be) some
thing mean about his brothers transac-
tions which require apology.

tons:
WHEREAS, The representatives of different
wheat firms and mill associations in the state
of Minnesota, assembled at Minneapolis, or
the 18th day of December. 1881, for the pur
pose of establishing uniformity OF grades,
and the purchase price of each grade in SAID
state; and,
WHEREAS, Representatives of the different
railway companies in the state were present
for conference, by invitation of said wheat
firms; and
WHEREAS, At said meeting an entire new
system of grades was agreed upon, which dis
eliminates greatly in favor of the buyer as
against the producer. And
WHEREAS, The unjust discrimination Of
railroad companies in favor of said wheat
firms, and against other and independent small
buyers in the matter of sales, and furnishing
cars, thereby preventing all competition, il
not only great damage to the producer but
of incalculable injury to all branches of in
dustry. And
WHEREAS, Charters have been issued, and
munlncenL lana grants, large sums OF money
voted, charter privileges extended to the peo
pie to aid in the construction of said railroads
therefore,
Be 1t Resolrsd, That such railroads are pub
lie highways, and that the people have right
to use them on equal just and reasonable
terms without discrimination.
ResoLued, That such combinations of wheat
firms, millers' associations and railroad inter.
ests, demands prompt and immediate legisla-
ton, to compel such railroad corporations to
perform their duty to the people, by furnish
ing facilities for transportation at reasonable
and uniform rates.
Resolued, That the system of grading wheat
established at said meeting was but the inaug'
uration of wicked, unjust and swindling
scheme intended to rob the producer aud en-
rich the great and wealthy companies and cor.
porations engaged IN buying and transporting
the grain crop of Minnesota.
RESOLVED, Thata copy of these resolutions be
published in each of the county papers, the st.
Paul Pioneer Press and GLOBE and La Crosse

Another Meeting of the Committee-A
Subcommittee to Report q Plan.
A meeting of the committee to consider the
question of establishing ladies college in st.

Yesterday forenoon. The attendance was not
encouragingly large, but six of the fifteen
members of the committee being present.
Ex-Gov. Ramsey was among the absentees.
The first matter talked of was whether the
school should be confined to day scholars or
include boarding school also. Gen. Sibley
was in doubt on the subject, but was inclined
to favor day school. Prof. Fogg thought it
no particular object to start day school
alone, and that it could not live.
Mr.. E. F. Drake favored boarding school
most decidedly. 1t must be made school
which will invite people to the city, and not
wait until the people came and urged the in
stitution forward.
Capt Russell Blakely asked what the proba-
BILE cost of starting the institution would be.
Mr.. Breed said it would be impossible to fix
any amount until some plan was decided upon.
Gen. Sibley said such school would require
$50, 600 to start it, and Mr.. Drake said he
would be one of hundred to raise that sum.
The whole project was salked over in very
informal way, during which, Captain Blakely,

THE Cincinnati Commercial seems to
be falling behind in the current political
events of the day. The Commercial says:
s'The most unrepublican and hateful po-
litical faction that has appeared in this
country since the slave power passed
away, is that of the 306" The circum-
stance of this patriotic bands number
having been reduced to 305 by the de-
parture of one of its members for a Penn
sylvania penitentiary not long since,
seems to have escaped the attention of
the Commercial.

school for graduating railroad men, as this is
the fourth or fifth young man that has been
called up higher, out of it. Mr.. Whitaker

make his way to the favorable consideration
of the travelling public and of the railroad
officials. His accommodating disposition as
well as his ability will aid him in this.
The Union depot men had an interesting
little episode on Sunday. A little five-year
old boy named LAME Wilcox, arrived at the
depot alone. He came alone all the way from
Golden, Colorado, and had q tag attached to
his coat, which gave the information that he
was to be taken through to Cadet Falls, Wis.
tag that was attached to his coat was
signed by man who gave his name
as G. Williams, Council Bluffs.
This tag said that he (Williams) had just
washed Louie's face and was taking cup of
coffee with the little fellow, and requested
that the parents of the youngster should write
him and let him know if the boy reached his
destination all right. The depot officials took
good care of the boy all day Sunday, taking
charge Of his ticket, and at night put him on
board the Wisconsin train, and gave the mon
ey and ticket to the conductor, who promised
to see the little traveller safely to the end of
his journey.

Verdict Set Aside.

An important decision was filed by Judge
Brill yesterday on the motion for new trial-in
the case of s. L. Pierce againt John Wagner
in which damages was awarded for injuries
resulting from nuisance. Tie court finds
that the verdict was so large that the jury
must have misunderstood their duty as re-
lated to the instructions of The court, the
amount awarded being in excess of any
amount that could have been fixed upon by
the exercise of a sound discretion. In con-
clusion he states that justice requires that the
verdict be set aside and new trial granted I'M
less the verdict be reduced to reasonable
amount, which is given as $500.

day school or boarding school, declared that
he was decidedly in favor of boarding school,
Aday school was not worth a moments con-

influences; that the sum of 1000 should be

THE LOTTERY OF ass zss1NATIoN.


The influence of the Half breeds seems
to be on steady decline under the pres
ent administration. Civil service reform
seems also to have received set back
from which it is not likely to rally prior
to the quadriennial parade of "a. The
proposed appointment of Sargent to a
position in the cabinet is quite sufficient
to shut out all hope Of reform or even
honest government under the present re-
gime of the Stalwarts. AS the author of
the paste-beard ballet, and as an apslo-
gist of polygamy, the new Stalwsrt Secre-
tary of the Interior is not likely to prove
an important factor in inaugurating the
reforms in the civil service Of the coun-
try, which received such an impetus I'M
der the brief administration of President

lying around loose for them during

the resignation of Postmaster General
James, takes occasion to give him the
following parting shot:
He has fed! We may now pause to con-
template that arrant humbug who covered

perfdy averted the glance his notoriety at
tracted. He knew DO motive but his own
glorifcation; acknowledged no criterion but
newspaper notice; he worshipped no idol but
notoriety, md with heather devotion he
bowed down before Slanderer Gibson. There
was no friend whom he did not deceive;
there was no scoundrel whom he did not en-
brace. Pretending honesty, he consorted with
travagance; and in the name of reform he &C.
cepted without reason and retained without
shame an office which he mismanaged. The
whole country stood amazed at his promises
and degraded by his performances. Honesty
hung its head in his presence; candor was I'M
known in his office; blackmailers were his
companions, and false dealing was his prac-
tlce; SANDER assumed the air of history;
there was nothing too low for him to do nor
too shameful for him 10 advocate

by Mr.. Frank Mordaunt and o competent
company of actors. There is flavor Of salt
air, fresh and crisp, from the fOaming brine
and breakers of Old Neptune about the play
that makes its performance very captivating.
There is nothing intricate about the plot and
it is the air of simplicity, perhaps, that con-

ton is sprightly and never permitted to flag.
An old sea captain, when dying, entrusts

tween his ward and his son.
Capt. Weathergage, Mr.. Mordaunt, discOv-
ers the fraud at the time when the marriage is

tragic death of an old salt who is essential to
the discovery of the villainy, and the play has
several good incidents and episodes.

EMMA ABBOT.
Her Vaccination Toohc Mi0IStily- Cancel
3D. ing Her Engage nse,,ts.

Her Vaccimation Tool; Nightly Cancel
ing Her Engage me,sts.
[Chicago Tribune, 15.l
From private and personal sources of infor-
nation in this city it is learned that Miss EN-
ma Abbott, the favorite operatic artist, is
suffering severely from the effects of vaccina-
ton performed when she was last here. Miss
Abbott became alarmed at the prevalence of
smallpox, and desired to be vaccinated, and
not being in favor of appearing before her
audiences with one symmetrical arm in ban
daged and unmanageable condition, she was
vaccinated on the leg. A doctor at the Grand
Pacific hotel performed the operation, and it
is said did it too near the tendo1s of the lower
part of the leg.
When the prima donna reached st. Paul an
ulcer had formed over the sensitive tendons,
and the vaccinated limb had become swollen
and infamed, and so lame that she could
with difficulty appear in her parts upon the
stage. Two st. Paul physicians were
consulted, and they informed Miss Alb
bolt Zthat she would he cripple for life
and probably would be compelled to have her
leg amputated. When she reached Burlington,
Ia, the difficulty had become so serious that
she had to relinquish her Saturday night en-
gagement at that place and hasten to st. Louis,
where the services of two eminent surgeons
were called into requisition. Under careful
treatment the troublesome limb was put into
a less painful and inconvenient condition, and
Miss Abbott concluded to go on to Louis
vile and try to fill her engagement there.
1t was from this point the Information re-
specting the prima donna's serious condition
reached her friends ia this city, and it was IN
timated that it was quite likely that after the
close of her engagement, which came to an
end last evening, she would be compelled to
cancel future engagements and place herself
entirely in the care of competent physicians
until the difficulty was overcome. The parties
in possession of the information state that the
vaccination story is painful aud distressing
reality, and Indignantly deny that it has been
exaggerated SO as to serve as an opportune adj
vertising dodge for the prima donna.
