TuE News Of yesterday gives up long
space to further discussion Of the libel
law and the unenviable position occu-
pied by respectable journals of means
and resources. A movement on the part
Of the press TO secure change Of the
present law that will place the RESPONSE
bility where II properly belongs
and relieve the papers Of an I'M
just burden Is suggested. The law
Of libel In this country opens up
nearly as fruitful field for speculation ms
Wall street. A party feeling himself In
jured by publication in n responsible,
solvent journal, goes and institutes a
heavy suit for damages. The alleged
libel probably came from correspond
ent at distance; he escapes. the paper
Is sued. There is injustice in this and
II should be changed.

SINCE the decision of the kain gam
ing cases by the Court of Appeals, the
gambling evil has been literally dis
oussed by the press. The Fort Worth
Gazette, published where gambling Is
carried on openly and unchecked, edi-
torially treats of the question In an
article headed "hard on the gaming in
dustry," and says that the decision of
the Supreme court at the Galveston
term, affirming the right Of n citizen to
recover damages from parties who
rented adjoining property for the pur-
poses of prostitution, and this decision
in the Kahn case leaves the officer no
opportunity to avoid his duty. 1t says:
at was a cold day for the gambling in
dustry and the incompetent official
incompetent because Of Discrimination to
act-when that opinion was rendered. Ii
Is hard TO see how Sherills, Constables
and police officials are going to whip the
devil around the stump and evade ODE
dience." The Gazette may be right In
this conclusion. but II is exceedingly
problematical. Gambling Is not yet
suppressed at the Fort, nor is II so in
any city of its size in the State. The
efforts of officers in some places, as Dal-
las and other cities, may drive gamblers
to seek secluded resorts and operate ''on
the dead quiet, but they have no where
yet succeeded in entirely crushing the
evil, and unless they change their tactics
they never will. If the Gazette will
"bide a wee" 1t will see that the deois-
ion will have but little peroeptible eff
feet on the gambling operations in
places where II is carried on az II is at
the Fort, The Gazette truly says the
spirit of the law is the suppression of
evil, but that spirit is seldom infused
into the instruments selected to enforce
the law. \ new method must be re-
sorted to, If the law would grapple with
the evil successfully.

ArRoros OF the Texas endorsement of
Tilden by the Democrats the News fires
this query like bombshell into the
Democratic camp: "Wouldn't the Dem
ocratlc party find itself in a pretty posi-
ton If 1t nominated Tilden for Presi-
dent and he should decline, and then it
should nominate some spirited first-class
man and he should decline9 However,
the natural Democratic capacity for
laundering is fully up to this, and Texas
Is encouraging it," This is nut that
the political leaders of the party can
mediate upon, and the more they medi-
tate, the deeper tby'll find themselves in
the political mire.

The burning of the Floresville court
house last Tuesday night entails an ire
parable loss upon Wilson county and
places serious check upon the admin
isfration ofjustice. The fire originated
In the Office Of the District clerk. md
the whole building and contents were
soon heap of smouldering ruins. Only
n few papers in the small vaults are
saved. The indictments, bonds, minutes
and all the records are burned. The
deed was done by an incendiary who
was anxious to destroy all evidence of
crime against himself. Language fails
In power to express the baseness of such
h bastard. The records OF an entire
county are sacrificed TO insure the de-
struciion Of an indictment against him
self. His crime is one from which most
hardened criminals would shrink and no
provided by the law is ade-
quate to 1t.

not permitted TO leave the stable and receives

tect our stock while In charge OF the drivers
on the streets, and that they may be held re-
sponsibie every cart and wagon we own has
eign and Is numbered.
The number OF loads each driver has to
make for days work is fixed so that tho anil
NAL has to travel about twenty miles q day
ten miles with load and ten without. They
have twelve hours to make the days work In,
allowing an hour 10 feed at noon, and the time
required TO load gives them long rest between

We pay good wages and have easy running
carts and wagons, keep them In repair and
have good stock, and our load Is a ton for one

Another consideration, and not by any
