VICTORY IN THE AIR.
10, 900 Majority in Indiana
Blaine TO Come TO Harlem River
With 10000 20 $4,000
Votes.

Especial Dispatch to the Kennebec Journal.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30.
From an extended tour through Mich, Ind,
His, Wis, n. j., and N. Y, and from per-
sonsl meeting with the leading republicans,
am satisfied that the contest is narrowed to
few States. Adviees received from leading
men give the republicans California, Oregon
and Nevada. A leading democrat of Indiana
comedies the State to the republicans by at
least 10, 900 majority. Mr.. Hobart, MEM
ber of the national committee of New Jersey
and one who gives special attention to the
canvass of that State, claims it by $4,000
for the republicans. | find no republican
expressing doubt of carrying New Jersey.
do not think that Connecticut is doubtful,
its majority will not exceed 5000 majority.
In New York after careful and thorough
canvass made from full poll of the vote OF
the State, Mr.. Blaine's friends claim that he
will come to Harlem river with from 10000,
to $4,000 majority and they not only conf
IDENTIFY assert and believe he will carry the
state, but they are equally con6dent he will
carr, it by very large plurality.
The position of the republican ticket as is
absolutely assured is that the republicans can
positively count on receiving the electoral
vote of every northern State. Ifa fair count
could be assured Virginia would add its
electoral vote to those of all the northern
States.

The Presbyterian Synod of South Carolips,
has been engaged several days in the discus
sion of the Darwinian theory of evolution.
The issue arose from the fact that DR.. Wood
row, Professor in Columbia Theological
Seminary. had in lecture expressed his owl
belief in evolution, in a modified form, and
declared it not inconsistent with scriptural
teachings. The Synod adopted the following
resolution fifty to forty five;
Resolved. That in the opinion of the Synod
the teaching of evolution in the Theological
Seminary at Columbia, except in a purely
expository manner, with no intention of in
culcating its truth, is hereby disapproved.

WIS.,, SATURDAY, APRIL 5. 1884
A FLATTERlNG ENDORSEMENT.

In an editorial article published in
the TINES, April LIST 1882, relating to
candidates for town offices, and in
which we urged the election of Mr..
James Bardon for the office of Chair
man, of the Board of Supervisors, we
used, in closing the article, these
words:
when man handles his own private affairs as
judiciously and successfully as Mr.. Bardon does
class public official, and feel sure that if he is
elected, the people of Superior will never have
cause to regret their choice"
Mr.. Bardon was elected by hand
some majority. AT the close of his
first year of service as such officer, he
was, contrary to his personal wishes,
reelected to the office, which second
term expired last Tuesday That we
were not mistaken in our estimation
Of the man was proven in the second
election by a greatly increased vote,
but that was hardly equal to the en-
dorsement which he received last Sat-
urday, when some fifty of our business
men, representing all branches of bus
mess, on an hours notice assembled at
the office of Gen. J. H. Hammond,
and through that gentleman again
asked Mr. Bardon to be their candi-
date for second reelection, which re-
quest was made in the Generals own
happy yet earnest style of speech.
Mr.. Bardon being in the room,
heartily thanked the gentlemen pre-
sent and the people generally, for this
expression of confidence and trust.
as we'll as public approval of his past
official acts, and modestly claimed to
be only one of the three constituting
the Board, and that he was entitled to
no more credit can the others. He
acknowledged that he had tried to
serve the people faithfully and that in
doing 50, his own business had suffer
ed by unavoidable neglect: he said he
had given two years of his time to the
public, and that inasmuch as there
were others as competent to fill the
position as he, or even more so, he
thought he should be given rest, and
chance, to get his own business
strengthened and put in order again,
and once more thanking the delega-
ton before him, respectfully declined
to become a candidate for the place.
While all regretted Mr.. Bardon's
decision, no one could really blame him
for not again accepting a thankless
office, and one without emoluments a
all commensurate with the lahors con-
nected with it. He has made a good
officer as the work done will show and
the records fully attest, and whatever
the chronic grumbler may say, the
enthusiastic demonstration of last Sat
urdaY publically says: "Well done
good and faithful servant"

1t now begins to look as though
Congressman didn't mean anything,
after all, when they talked so loudly
about taking the land away from the
railroad companies. We do not think,
from the present outlook, that any
thing of the kind will be done. 1t
cannot well be done without one poll
teal party or the other being respon-
sible for the act, and neither party
dares to fight the railroad serpent
which having coiled itself anaconda like
about the government throat is ready
to strangle whatever opposes it. Most
of our legislation nowadays Is done
by railroad men, aided by the tele-
graph and iron men. The men we
elect to kgislate for US are simply
puppets who hob up or sit down as
these managers pull the wires.

Rather Fishy,

The following very fshy story comes
from the little town of New Albion,
Just below Winona, in Minnesota,
through a correspondent of the Pho
neer Press. He says: 'The town is
greatly excited over fish at present.
They have been fishing here all winter
but it is only lately that they have
been making any very large hauls.
Last week they caught 1O5, 900 pounds
at ore haul, at another $1,000 But
Friday was the day that beat them all
they caught at one haul 10000
pounds, and on Friday night they had
200 feet of net in and SO full of fish
that ten men could not move it. Car
load has been shipped"

Criminal Libel.

The Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets, on March LIST, rendered a decis-
ION in a case of criminal libel against
the Salem Evening News, which is of
the greatest Importance to newspaper
men throughout the country. The
News had savagely attacked the city
marshal by communications and edi-
torials, and Judge Mason defined the
responsibility and duty of newspapers
as follows:
1T is the duty of the proprietor of a public pa
per, which may be used for the publication ofim-
proper communications, to use reasonable caution
in the conduct of his business that no libels be
published, and he is crminaIly liable for libel
Gus publication therein, unless the publication
was made under such circumstances as to mega
tive any presumption of privity, of connivance,
or want of ordinary precaution on his part to
prevent it. 1t may be true that the defendant
had knowledge of this specific article and
was not present when it presented for pub
location, nor when it was published. He is still
criminally liable for its publication unless he
used reasonable care and caution in the conduct
of his business to prevent such publication. The
jury must be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt,
that the libelous article was published by the de-
PENDANT intentionally or through some want of
ordinary care and caution on his part in the con-
duct of his business If the jury satisfied that
the defendant published libelous article inten-
tionally, or. that it published in his paper
through his want of ordinary care and caution
in the conduct ofhis business publisher, they
are to consider whether the statements Of the
article were true. If the truth of the article is
established, as claimed by the defendant, it is a
perfectand complete defense unless express malice
in the publication is shown-malice in the popu-
lar sense of hatred and ill-will-but in no event
proof of malice take the place of proof of the
publication itself Its entirely immateria wheth-
the defendent had malice toward the marshal
or how intense hatred and ill-wiI he may have
entertained, unless it is established that the de-
fendent published the articles Intentionally or
through undue care on his part"
The jury found the editor guilty on
this ruling. His exceptions have been
overruled, and he now awaits sentence.
Looking at the matter from the
above standpoint, we can see no ray of
hope that the Inter-Ocean Company
may escape conviction in the case now
pending against it. The libelous arti
Gle against DIR. Gauvreau, was publish
ed after three days of cool delibera
ton over, and discussion of the matter;
not only this, but DR.. Gauvreau,
hearing that some such SANDER
Gus article was likely to appear, per-
sonally went to the office Of the Inter
Ocean and forbid the editor, in the
presence of the President of the COM
pany, publishing any such article and
giving notice that he should hold
them responsible if such publication
was made. But in the face of all this
the article appeared, the suit followed,
and now we will see what a western
court will do with it.

fast horses, and all that, and made
grain gambling his business. As re-

The Minnesota papers are maxim

The Minnesota papers are making
it pretty warm for Senator Sabin be-
cause he voted for the Fitz John
Porter bill. Porter disobeyed orders
given by his commanding general in
the face of the enemy According to
military law this disobedience called
for most severe punishment. He was
not ignorant of this fact, therefore he
should suffer the penalty of his wilful
wrong doing. No doubt it was Presi-
dent Lincoln's great forgiving heart
that alone saved Porter from being
shot, and he should be thankful that
he still lives, rather than be crying
out that a great injustice has been
done him, and such men as Sabin can
hardly make the people belieye that
they are right and that Lincoln was
wrong and cruel.

President Arthur has stuck an
other political pin by yielding to the
public demand for a better navy in so
far as to recommend the appropriation
of 81, 2S3, 900 tor three new cruisers
and four gun boats, and is suddenly
taken with the idea that we ought to
commence work on them at once He
also urges an appropriation of S2,OOO,-
600 for finishing and fitting for SER
vice four double-turreted monitors.
President Arthur is quite a good pol
itical schemer, but he should have dis
covered our great need of these things
long ago, and not waited until the
presidential election year. His object
in discovering our needs just before
the meeting of the national nominal
ing convention is too transparent, and
will hardly advance his interests to
the extent he desires. We do not want
any more Arthur in ours.

two weeks ago, gave Uncle Sam slap
In the face which he cannot afford to
let pass by unrebuked or submit to in
silence. Referring to the govern
ment's effort to suppress polygamy,
this defiant mormon chieftian, adopt
ing the Bob. Toombs style, publical-
ly declared that, When they come
west to wipe out polygamy they will
find 100000 muskets pointing east
ward" Polygamy, like its twin sin,
slavery, has long been curse to our
Union, and ought to have been wiped
out" long ago. Slavery was finally
disposed of, but not through the ''wlp-
ing" process, but it was drowned out"
in a sea of blood, and it is barely posi-
BILE that the curse of Mormonism may
have it be disposed of in the same
way, as it has assumed such giganti:
proportions, that the simple stroke of
the pen by the hand of a President to
any legislative act, however strong it
may be, will not suffice to remove the
evil. The government cannot main
tain its dignity and let this defiant and
insulting challenge go by unnoticed.
If the Mormon President courts a con-
fict of arms, by all means accommo-
date him. Nothing, we think, would
so purify that pollute section of our
domain, as little blood letting.
