THE action for libel OF district

Mercury for crltlcislng his official
course has counterpart in Michigan,
In which his honor has been taught
the common-sense of law. A police

of one of the city papers because the
paper charged that he had fixed bail in

fixing bail at too small a sum. The
lower court held that even though the
publication was fair and truthful the
newspaper had no right to criticise the
acts Of a magistrate. This decision
was reversed in the superior court to
which II was appealed, Chief Justice
Cooley expressing the opinion that
few duties can be palmer than that of
calling public attention TO the official
disregard of the principles which pro-
tect public and personal liberty. The
decision of Judge Cooley will in time

permit.
We were while in Dallas with sew

we found pleasant quarters and good
entertainment.
Having twice visited Houston on
similar occasions, and taking the least
possible interest in military displays,
we did not go on the excursion We'd

meet our friends Mr.. and Mrs. Atwell,
who reside at Hutchins, and whom
we had known in San Marcos, we &C
copied their invitation to go home
with them that evening. We were
glad we went, for besides spending
most agreeably some time with them,
our visit gave us better insight into
life in small Texas towns near cities.

Teachers shall receive salaries not
exceeding the following sums; with
first grade certificates $75 per month,
second grade certificates $50 per
month, and third grade certificates

If teaching is profession, would
it not have been wise in the eighteenth
Legislature, to have given scale OF
prices for Doctors, Lawyers, Engin'
GERS etc.. Or was the eighteenth
Legislature of the same opinion of
the few, that teachers should not be
classed with the learned professions,
but be q sort of charity class to be
kept so poor by Legislation, that they
can never rise to the learned profess
ions unless perchance, some philan-
thropic Doctor or Lawyer should lend
them a silk handkerchief full of books,
so that they might rise to the pro

his election to a higher Office; if so,

The statement made that the book
of the life of Ben Thompson will sell

Bens life is not one that should be
set up as guide to any one, and the
emblazoning of his deeds of bravado
on paper is not calculated to do the
rising generation any great good.
We have seen copy of the book
referred to, and are glad to notice
that it is so poorly and clumsily got
ten up as to neutrallze to large ex-
tens it's miscellaneous tendency. In

"Life" might have proved almost as
disastrous to good morals, as did his
