SOMETHING FOR THE BABY.-Wbat a
terrible affliction about the house is a
cross, crying baby! A young man on the
very edge of matrimony might easily be
frightened from his purpose by having too
much of that sort of music at the homes
of his marriet friends, yet babies cry
commonly only when they are sick. One
Tablespoonful of Parker's Tonic, given
the little one, will bring rest and sleep to
the baby and all in the house, Only 80
cents, at all druggists. Sw5

Ande rson subsequently succeeded Dr..
Weber as a pastor in Troy" The par
agraph was originally printed i'm the
Troy Times. The main statement. that
Rev. DIR. Anderson was asked to accept
the presidency of this college, is incor-
rect. The facts are that at the last com
mencement President Hamlin informed
the trustees that he might deem it advisa-
BILE to resign his position at the close of the
current college year; and as this was in
line with the understanding when he took
charge of the institution in 1SS0-that he
would probably not wish to remain after
the expiration of five years from that
date, as he would then be - years of age
members of the corporation have been
locking about to see whom they could
secure in case he should resign. The
paragraph quoted conveys an altogether
erroneous impression. DR.. Hamlin may
or may not resign. The trustees simply
desire to know where to turn for success
sOr provided he decides to do so then or
thereafter. The place has been offered
to no one, because there is no place to
offer.

q public official sustains double relation, a
private and a public character. An attack
upon his official character il blow struck
as well to the public as to the individual.
A due respect for the law and for its pure
administration IL essential to the security of
popular institutions. Any unfounded at
tack upon its administration saps the very
foundations upon which society rests.
Hence a libel upon courts and other public
tribunals has for centuries been regarded as
among the most atrocious crimes. In order
to Justify conviction the state must satisfy
the jury beyond any fair, reasonable doubt,
that the article published was a libel under
the definition given by the court. If they
were so satisfied and by that reason of
proof, they should pass to the defence, I'M
der his plea that the respondent would prove
the truth of the accusations in the article.
The respondent had introduced evidence
tending to support, and the prosecution
tending to rebut, the truth of those accusa-
tons. 1t was incumbent upon the respon-
dent to establish the truth thereof by q fair
balance of evidence. In so far as the libel
Gus article accused Judge Royce OF crime,
the respondent must also by his evidence
overcome the presumption of innocence, the
truth of which all men so accused are
clothed" Judge Powers then read seriatim
the article complained of, which must be
taken as n whole. at is said by the respon-
dents counsel that the words are privileged,
and this brings us to consideration of the
question of privileged communications. 1t
is true that the editor of a newspaper, as
well as any other person. has right to ex-
anime the character of a candidate for pub
lie office, His character may be discussed,
and the very fact that he is a candidate for
public office gives to the discussion in GER
tain sense privilege. But this doctrine
has its limits No man, editor or layman,
has the right to impute scandalous matter
against a candidate. He has no right to cir
culate unfounded and untrue reports con-
corning such candidate. His character is
open to discussion in fair, temperate,
manly way, but abuse is not discussion
neither editor nor laymen may discuss the
character of a candidate from any other
motive than to serve the public interest.
He must not publish false and malicious
stories concerning him. He may purify
public station, he has no right to vilify 1t.
The jury retired about half-past six. On
the first ballot the verdict was unanimous.
Respondents counsel filed motion in
arrest, predicated upon some exceptions
taken during the progress of the trial. Sen
tence was therefore deferred.
