news would be stale and Vaiueiess.
The matter was clearly proper for
"public investigation or lnforma-
tion." as no question could more
Immediately concern the people of
community in which offices are to
be administered, or the appointing
power, than the character of men
who seek to control important APP
pointments. Any publication, there
fore, made IN good faith and for the
public good, without malice or neg
lect, is, by the irresistible logic of
the new constitution, a privileged
publication, and, being SO, malice
cannot be inferred from a justltiable
act. Nor does the law hold the
writer or publisher or responsible
editor to the truth, much less to se-
we're technical strictness, in such
publications. Absolute accuracy
being often impossible within the
time in which publications must be
made by enterprlsing newspapers,
the law can hold the writer, or re-
sponsible party, only for malice or
negligence, and until either malice
or negligence shall be proved, there
can be no conviction.
In this enlarged and necessary
protection to the public press, there
j. no protection for the wanton de-
famer of character, nor is there any
obstacle to indemnity for damages
TO reputation. The prosecutor is
free to prove either malice or neg
lect in case of false or injurious
publications, and reasonable proof
of either will convict in criminal
cases, even when the publication is
privileged; and in a civil action for
damages, that is open to all even
when they have appealed to the
criminal side of the law, just COM
pensatory damages may be recoy-
cred, and aggravated damages may
be recovered where the malice of
the defamer demands the compul-
sorry restraints of the law. In no
case, however, can a man who as
sumcs to exercise public influence
in public affairs, demand damages
or conviction because his own
wrongs have been interposed &c
check the power he would exercise
, in public matters. The unobtrusivt
private citizen can justly claim i'm
munity from public criticism, re
q gardIess of the truth Of publication
relating to his past history, bu
b clean government and reputable
q sources, and where every citizen i
a sovereign, he. is entitled to know
who seek to obtain or to control re
f >ponsible public trusts whose in
O. cumbents are simply the servants o
. the people. Such is the now prac
$ ticalIy accepted Interpretation o
the new law of libel in Pennsylva
. MIA, and it is equally just to til
. press, to citizens and to the integrit,
s Of public authority.

could expect and the order was excellent, two
much praise cannot be said of the order OF
this school, 1t illustrates the advantage Of a
correct system combining in its discipline mu-
tual love and harmony between the teacher
and pupils. The exercises reflect credit on
the young ladies and gentlemen participating.
Quite number Of Prof. Russells pupils were
present who were cordially invited to return
and witness the second meeting of the society.
This school is becoming quite popular in our
community, and We expect TO hear, with such
an able educator at their head, of great achiev-
ments in climbing the ladder of learning.
About 40 names appear on roll, and the Prof.
informs us that he has had fifteen applicants
for seats the next quarter beginning Dec. 9TH.
The citizens are laying a sidewalk between

The Country Home.

Thousands of young men depart from the
parental roof to enter upon what they think a
higher plain Of life They have no desire to
till the soil, yet agriculture is the art Of arts.
Almost every vocation is sought in preference
to farming. Farming, gardening and fruit
culture can be made pleasant and interesting.
AS rule farmers work too many hours. lie
does not try TO make home pleasant, agreeable
and attractive The most Independent life Of
all is the life of the skilled and satisfied farmer.
Many have and want to much land conse-
quently create to many responsibilities.
Talent is good TO have and education
good on the farm, but young men should
learn that "talcnt often goes to bed hungry
while muscle revels in luxury"
From Pliny to the present we are informed
that a small farm we'll managed is more re.
munerative and satisfactory than a large one
poorly managed. ''The land belongs to the
present living" L. c. Hill

RECoGN1T1oN.-The Columbia River Con-
ference was held in The Dalles last We'd
nesday and the Oregonian in speaking of the
forthcoming session, has this to say of our
townsman, Hon. L. F. Lane.
"While we cannot be blind to the obstacles
in the way Of any great and immediate move
ment on the part Of the government for our
relief in this matter of the Columbia river,
still we do not look upon the scheme as
hopeless one. The government is slow, but
it is sure, and in the end the river will be a
flee and open highway. This much, happily
Is beyond reasonable doubt; but we fear it is
consummation farther ahead than many
seem no think. A good beginning has been
made at the Cascades, where another million
Of dollars will open steam boat passage
which will afford relief to a large population
between the Cascades and The Dalles and far
inland on both sides of the river. 1t should
not be forgotten in apportioning the credit for
what has already been done that the first sue,
cessful mover in this river enterprise was the
Hon. Lafayette Lane. He it was who pro-
posed in Congress and secured the first appro.
priation for the cascades, and while many
others are entitled to credit for good service
in this matter, he it IS to whom the thanks ol
the country are mainly due for setting the work
in motion at the beginning.
