The newspaper libel suit Of MacLean
against scripps, in Detroit, drew from the
court a very able disquisition on the doc
trine Of privilege as applied to newspaper
publications, and from the Jury one oil
those compromise yerdicts which have
brought trial by jury into lamentabIe dis
repute.
MacLean was professor in the medical
school Of Ann Arbor University. 1t was
publicly charged in Canada that he had
used his position 10 debauch a patient in
the hospital. The charge was taken up by
siripp's paper in Detroit, and on this Mac
Lean brought an action for damages. The
curt charged the jury that the article was
privileged because it concerned man in
public position, his acts in that capacity
being proper subject Of discussion by the
press. In such case the press has a right
to comment and to demand an inyestiga
ton.
The matter Of publication must not be
"eyolyed from ones inner consciousness"
The motive must be good. There must be nc
Hpite. no malice. no mere desire for revenge
It was incumbent upon the plaintiff to
show that the article was untrue, but thai
would not be enough unless he showed
also that it was published "iora malicious
improper and injurious purpose" Where
the a,icle is true, the publisher is not put
u,on his privilege, but stands on his JUST
fisation. The presumption OF malice is
only where the article is ndefended and
unpriyileped. Malice was not shown, buI
the iury believed the matter of the publ
cation 10 be untrue, and brought in yer.
dict Of 100000.
This result was a compromise verdict

In some parts Of Spain, where butter Is

To traders, butter by the inch seems rather
curious bargaining. The product Is not
usually very palatable nor particularly

SMALLPOX Report.

Conflicting reports are coming in
as to the. existence OF smallpox in
Grant parish. 1t is high time that
we were having something authentic
about the disease. Oar people APP
pear to have become panic stricken
without knowing anything definite
upon which TO base their fears. II
was first reported that there we're
ten or twelve cases of smallpox on
toe west side of Iatt Lake, two days
later it became twenty, three days af.
ter when the police jury met report
Fixed the number OF cases at thirty
two. and about the same time it was
reported in Alexandria that we had
about forty cases. This is all wrong.
Let us have the truth, and put an
end to unnecessary alarm.
Since writing the above we have
received the following statement from
Rev. v. G. Cunningham. which shows
the exact condition of affairs up to
noon Thursday, Sept. 9Th:
Editor Collar Chronicle
In reference to the smallpox ex-
element in the Iatt country, l will
state for the benefit of your readers,
that there are sixteen cases now on
hand. Five have died, twelve have
about recovered, and about sixty are
subject to take it at any time. No
physician visits these cases. but we
have secured the services of Mr.
John Sandidge, an experienced and
intelligent nurse, who visits the thir-
teen families affected with the dis
ease, and reports frequently to ont
side parties, who see that all needed
provisions, medicine, linen, ETC., are
literally supplied. The Montgomery
physicians base their prescriptions
in the several cases on these reports.
DR.. NJ. A. Dunn, assisted by other
physicians, writes full directions, and
sends all necessary medicines to Mr. /.
Sandidge. We have also secured the
services of an assistant nurse, and
expect to have two women to wash
and cock for some of these families.
Our unfortunate friends gratefully
acknowledge their Indebtedness to
the citizens of Colfax, Montgomery,
the police jury. and others who have
SO literally come to their aid in this
their dark hour. Respectfully,
V. G. CUNNINGHAM.

Of years of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most eiiectoai REM
cdy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement OF the stomach, liver, and

treatment. Ayers PILLS are specially
applicable 70 this class OF diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi

healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice. and by all
civilized nations, Is one OF the many
proofs of their value as safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin

While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
