George Miller was brought before
Squire Collins last Saturday and fined
$50 for "toating" little pistol. Not haV-
ing the "spOndulix" on hand, he depos-
tied his horse with the officer until he
could raise it. George no doubt is now
a wiser, if not happier young man, hav-
Ing realized the truth that the way of the
transgressor is hard.
-Messrs. Thomas Johns and Byrd
Gray Huddleston, who are sojourning up
on the the railroad, were in town this
week, looking in fine health. They report
work on the road ''lively and the goose

ing taken charge of some contracts of
which the "bosseS" were not giving salts

Last Saturday Mr.. David Holt, of
Oil Trough, Independence county, came
through town with Mr.. James Gilmore,
aged 81 years, who was in dying oOndii-
ton with dropsy. When near the resi-
dence of DR.. Cox, Holt stopped the wagon
when Mr., Gilmore died in a few minutes.
Several of our citizens went, laid him out
and dressed him, and on Sunday the re-
mains of the poor old gentleman was de-
GENTLY buried in the cemetery near this
place, at the expense of the county. AS
Mr.. G. was helpless and pennilesS, and
dasired to spend his last days with his
daughter residing in Howell county, Mo-,
whose husband is the sheriff of that
county, Mr.. - - Conn, Of Oil Trough,
EMPLOYED Mr.. Holt to take him to her,
with letter to her husband, stating bis
nenniless condition. Mr.. Holt returned
home from here, and Mr.. G.'s son-in-law
has been written to about the sad circum'
stance, who no doubt will reimburse both
MIR. Conn and our county, as he is said tc
be a well-to-do man.

excepting the bill Of Mr.. Dyer of

work done in 1878, and it is not just
that Mr.. Dyer should be charged with
the full amount. The time for each
is the same, being one year and lit
tie over nine months, both ending with
the annual meeting of the Board Of
Supervisors. The result will show
that the Democratic Sheriff admins

Republican Sheriff administration,
and the figures and facts to prove our
statement are as follows:

News from the Moon.

The telescope has lately revealed
some very curious and startling APP
pearances in the moon. Astronomers
have been slow to accept the condi-
tions which these observations suggest,
because they have so long believed
that the moon is a dead planet and in
capable of supporting any life upon
its surface. This belief is based prin-
cipally upon the assumed absence of a
lunar atmosphere. But these recent
observations indicate that the moon
has an atmosphere, and, if it has an
atmosphere, it may have various forms
of life upon its surface differing as
much from those upon the earth as
the moon itself differs from the earth
in its geological and Chronological
features. 1t would be very curious if
the telescope, the instrument which
has banished from the moon the host
Of strange creatures with which the

We desire to draw the attention of the reader to
certain charges, in the Dyer column. In October
II, 1880, Denton h charged with $50, and we have
not been able TO find the in the published pro-
~~~si-es ~ the eryfsors, and on March IL, 1879,
Van voorhees, is 6arged with $500, and we have
not yet discovered the same in the proceeding. II
these two items are incorrect, then the balance in
favor of Dyer wilI,be s399.sG.
In the committees report in the Reporter, there
is s1l40 charged TO Jones' and as we could not find
it in the proceedings it has been left out. The
committee charged Scott with s4s in October, 1884,
We have charged him in place thereof, with 4s cents
The above is fair statement and fair COMPARE
son according TO the best of our knowledge and
belief.
There is another thing to consider.
A reference to the proceedings of the
Board of Supervisors of June 9, will
show that Sheriff Scott put in a bill
for $36S.24, and on this bill the Su-
pervisors refused to pay but $16S. "a,
leaving a still unsettled account of
5000. The taxpayer can thus sec
whether the ARGUS misrepresented
the matter or not; and all we can say
to the poor little daily is, come and
see us again, but don't get excited
over small matter, and don't under
take to play Pharisee with your SO
called honest statements.
IF the readers will compare SCOTS
and Dyer's personal accounts, they
will find large balance in favor of
Dyer. IF they compare the accounts
of Scott and his deputy Jones, with
Dyer and his deputies. they will find
balance in favor of the Democrats,
and if they compare the sum total,
including Gibbons and Thompson,
the result is still favorable for Dyer,
and proves that the ARGUS did not
wilfully wrong Mr.. Scott. If COM
parison be made between the two
administrations, in regard to money
laid out for repairs and improvements
on Jail and court house, the result
would be very favorable to Mr.. Dyer.
Such comparisons are childish, and
we leave such to the Reporter, mere
ly stating that it would be just as
sensible to charge Scott with the tile
drain laid last year for the benefit
of Jail and court house, and also for
the cost of new court house, as it was
for the Reporter to charge Dyer with
the expense of painting Jail, putting
on new roof, fixing sidewalk etc.

We also find that du-

tration, for the above
stated time, Gibbons
and Thompson received
tho sum Of s27360, and
if added TO the Dyer
column would still leave
a balance in favor of
Dyer, the amount Of
which is s20i.S6.

The decision of the Supreme Court
reversing the judgment in the libel
case of Miner against the Post and
Tribune, marks perceptible advance
in the law of Michigan in the direc-
ton which Judge Cooley has of late
been taking. and carries nearly as
far as the Pennsylvania Court has got
under the recent and liberal decisions
in that State. 1t will be remembered
that in this case Justice Miner obtain.
ed verdict of $3.50 against the Post
and Tribune. The alleged libel Cd
severely criticised his conduct gener-
ally in respect to the enforcement of
the liquor law, and GU published
specific charge of oppression and mis-
conduct toward Chinaman against
whom was lodged before him COM
plant. The article coupled the two
charges, by the allegation that while
Miner exhausted his discretion to pro-
tect the powerful liquor dealer, he
transcribed his power to Cypress the
poor and friendless Chinaman. Judge
Chapman ruled CD that the charge of
negligence in the enforcement of the
liquor law was a matter of privileged
criticism, (2) that the charge of OPP
preston against the Chinaman was
libelous and not privileged, and 81
that the comparison between the two
acts was so intimately connected, and
so qualifying to the libelous part of
the article, it was a fair matter of
consideration for the jury. Judge
Cooley, who wrote the desision of the
Supreme Court, insists that Judge
Chapman erred in admitting the lat
ter consideration at all, since he had
already excluded as privileged all re-
ference to the liquor law. But the de-
cision goes much farther. Regarding
the matter held to be libelous, the
Court below maintained the old rule
of the presumption of malice, against
the contention of the defendant, that
the matter being of public concern,
to call public attention to it is "mat-
ter of privilege, and that, by presump-
ton of law, its motives in doing so
must be deemed proper and not actu-
ated by malice" The decision sus-
tains the view, but we do not under
stand that it relieves the defendant
from the obligation of proving the
the truth of its allegations. 1t SIM
ply relieves the press, in commenting
upon official action and matters of
public concern, of the onus of pre-
sumed malice, which it bears in pub
locations rejecting upon the character
of merely private persons, and con-
fines damages altogether to the actual
injury sustained by the plaintiff. 1t
gives warning to public officials that
in seeking or occupying places of pub
lie trust, they assume new RESPONSE
bility to the public, and can no longer
shield themselves from fair criticism,
like private individuals whose private
offenses are of public concern. When
their action is commented on by the
press, they can no longer assumed in
Court that the critic is malicious, and
ask for punitorv damages. The as
sumption is that the journal has been
actuated by proper motives, desire
for the public good, and that even
though mistakes be made-to which
the press is as liable as other human
agencies--they are entitled to no re-
redress beyond the actual damages
which they can prove themselves to
have sustained.-Det. Evening News.
