The COlerldye Libel Case

The action for libel against Lord Chief J us
tice COleridge, brought by Charles Mantell
Adams, and based upon attacks on his char
acter made by the defendant in letters to
mutual friends for the purpose of prejudic-
ing Miss Mildred Coleridge, whom Adams
was courting, sgainst him, was brought up
for trial in the court of appeals in London, on
Thursday.
Mr.. Adams appeared as his own counsel
and opened the case. He complained of JUS
tice Manisty's conduct while presiding over
the trial. "Justice Manisty told the jury,"
said he, 81 that / could not subsist unaided |;
that had no home for Miss Mildred Cole.
ridge Thank God, have happy home, if
not gorgeous one; and l trust that my
home will be equally happy for Miss Mil
dred."
Mr.Adams concluded by asking the court to
quash the judgment of Justice Mainsty, who
reversed the jury's verdict and dismissed the
case with costs to plaintiff. Attorney Gen.
eral James replied to Adams by dwelling at
length upon the legal aspects of the case and
upon the rights and duties of parents and
brother in warning daughter and sister
against taking steps which they they believe
to DO imprudent and dangerous.

To prevent this terrible disease, recourse should

The general presbytery of the United
Presbyterian church has again straddled the
great question of instrumental music in the
meeting house. 1t declines to say that it
is illegal while prayerfully enjoining the
music-loving brethern " from grieving the
hearts and wounding the conscience of any
dear brother who feels that the use of instru-
mental accompaniment in worship is cor
ruption of worship" 1t was not of the U. P.'s
that Macaulay observed the hate of bear
batting was excited by the pleasure the sport
afforded tho spectators, rather than by the
sympathy for the bear but there is just
enough human nature in some of the U. =. 's
TO make them rather like to ''fiddle and sing''
the psalms, because of the grief it affords
other of tho elders.

An Italian Count a wander.r

Benedict Martella, an Italian court inter
prefer in Brooklyn, received call three
years ago from ragged young Italian who
was in want. He said he was the only son
OF Count Tolonaci, of Florence, and had been
cast off by his parents ON account of his
devotion to young woman who was inferior
in position. Martella procured the young man
employment and on making inquiries
learned that his story was true. In few
months the young Florentine disappeared
and did not turn up till last week, when he
again called upon the interpreter. lie was
still poor, but Martella, who had meanwhile
received a remittance from the young mans
mother, supplied his wants. The young
nobleman said that he had been in Yoko.
hama, where he kept fruit store, but
was tired of wandering and was
going home. He Departed and soon
after another Italian called on Martella
and said that he was the agent of Count Tol-
onaci and had followed tho son i'm all his
wanderings lie had not, however, disclosed
his identity until after his return from japan,
when he prevailed upon the son TO go home.
Mr.. Martella received letter from the young
man, informing him of his departure for
Italy, and promising never to forget his
kindness.

A Novel Suggestion.

The New York Times makes the sugges-
tion, which has at least the merit of noy-
city, that the Pittsburg iron-makers and
their workmen have agreed to disagree
about the wages scale for the purpose of
stopping manufacture until prices become
romunerative. 1t would be very sensible
reason for the action of the two parties, as
clearly it is not for the interest of either to
make iron to sell without profit. But the
Times ioes too great credit to the sagacity
Of the Pittsburg people. The men would
cheerfully work if they could get their
wages, and the manufacturers would run
Il they had orders.
The mills stop because it does not pay
them to run, and because they want to
clean their boilers and make needed repairs.
Doubtless they will get to work before
long, and the price they will pay for labor
win be determined by the price they can
get for their product.

Joseph Bayle a resident of Now Orleans,
but a citizen OF France, has brought bill of
complaint against the city of New Orleans,
before Judge Pardee, in the United States
court, in which he asserts that the council of
the city of New Orleans have organized a
ostensibly in charge OF the Liberty bell, and
have made an appropriation of 5000 out of
the public treasury of the city, stating that
the same was for the purpose of defraying the
expenses thereof.
"The illegality and nullity of the ordinance
being clear, tho question remaining for a de-
cision is as to the jurisdiction and propriety
Of an injunction in this particular case" In
conclusion he says: "Under tho circum-
stance and law of this case it seems the
ton as prayed for"

The Truth About the Hayes Saloon.

Rutherford B. Hayes owns a building
IN Omaha which WINS occupied as a saloon.
II had been SO used for years without pro- |
ducing any qualms of conscience. The rent |
had been collected promptly and the pro-
ceeds invested in chickens. But some
thing finally happened which brought
Hayes to realizing sense of the enormity
Of his offense. 1t was not conviction in
either legal or theological sense. The
reason was largely prudential. During
the last few years the profit on chickens,
resulting from the investment of rent, has
been very large. The cholera and the
other ills that fowls are heir to had not
visited his hen-roost, and he himself had
waxed and grown fat in his new business.
This led to discussion with his wife,
whose name is given as Lucy, and the con-
clusion was reached to sell the real estate
and the accompanying saloon building and
invest the resulting money in more land ut
home, new chicken houses and large
number of new fowls of the most approved
breeds. 1t has been said that the reasons
for this were largely prudential. But it
must be admitted that the first suggestion
had religious connection. Last year,
just about the time that the first crop Of
spring chickens was ready for eating, the
pastor of the church to which Mr.. Hayes
belonged visited the latter's house. The
hennery was duly inspected the profits of
the ebusiness gone into with some minuteness
and the value of the spring chicken as an
article of clerical diet discussed. The fact
that these fowls were the result of TIE rent
GA saloon was fully understood, and the
conclusion reached that this was a proper
use for ssSfmOney. 81
Hayes was slightly disturbed in mind be
cause Of four years of unpaid rent, sug
gested that this sin might he atoned for b,
the holding of a clerical convention in the
town in the summer of 1886. Objection
was made that the chickens then living, o
those to be procured for the money iron
the renting of the saloon, together with tn,
natural increase, would not be equal to TIN
demand likely to he made upon the Haye
poultry yard. 1t was then agreed that tn,
saloon should he sold, the entire proceed
invested in this profitable business and tina
One-fourth of the first Matching of sprin
chickens for the year in question, shoul,
Z be devoted to the clerical convention. A
this was thought to be good bargain tn
terms were accepted, the saloon has bee
aold, the convention will be held, absolu
tiOr will be granted and the newly devel
oped scruples of Hayes will be overcom
and all will he well. This is undoubtedl
the true version of the sale of the IIaye
saloon i'm Omaha

An "OTensive - Partisan.

The New York Ecening Post, which,
more than any other paper in the country
represents the real civil service reformers,
has been looking into the record of A.
L0uden SnOwden, and has reached the con-
clusion that his removal is in strict accord
with this principle. 1t finds that he left
his post last August in order to 60 down to
Mane-into the very home of the presi-
dental candidate. He did this, as was
well known at the time, to curry favor with
Blaine. In his Portland speech, as the
Post points out, he asserted of the Demo-
cracy: "Their record begins with
treason and ends with failure every
where" OF the Morrison bill, then
only recently under consideration, he
asserted that " it was proposed by
free-trader who was paid SO much day to
DO it." After taking occasion to refer to
David A. Wells, private and reputable
citizen, I'm the most offensive terms, he thus
made foul charge upon Morrison's mo-
tives and honesty, and that, too, as the
Post insists, in the face of the fact that it
was the speech of subordinate office
holder against Ole of the leading members
of the House Of Representatives. 1t says
iR- conclusion that "the administra-
tion of no other government, save that of
the United States-no matter how extreme
might have been its party animosity and
prejudices-would have allowed such an
attack by one of its subordinates on lead
ing and responsible member of the 'opposi-
tion,' to have passed without instant re-
buke and prompt dismissal from office"
It's only regret is that she has been
permitted to resign in place of being sum-
marily removed" But, in spite of this,
Snowden will continue to plead the baby
act, and his newspaper friends to indulge
in their walls over his removal.

It % very natural that man fresh from
thirty one days confinement in Bummcrs'
Hall should have an exaggerated idea Of
its horrors, especially when he was detained
in that institution day longer than his
sentence called for his statements must he
taken with a little more salt than the au-
thorities seem TO allow the inmates for
their daily allowance of fresh bread.
But if the prisoners are expected to keep
their prison house clean, they ought to at
least be given brooms to clean IL with; and
daily distribution of so cheap anarticle as
salt, TO supplement quarter loaf of fresh
bread, would be no great expense TO the
county.
That this great county should maintain
so vile and iniquitous place as Bummers
Hall is a disgrace to the county, to its peo
| pie and TO civilization.
Bummers' Hall must go and the prisor
inspectors who maintain il must reform
il or go, too.
