Newspapers of9 0 Bay.

People generally,and even those who may be termed steady readers and close observers, have but faint conception of the magnitude and influence the press of thls country has attais sed. From a careful examination of the advance pages of 1885 edition of the Amer ican Newspaper Directory, issued May lst, by Geo. r. Powell & Co.,, of New York, it appears that there are I4,147 nespapers and peridodt- calls published in the United States and Canada; of those the United States has 13,913, an average of one paper for every 3,865 persons. In 1884 the total number of news papers was less by 523 than at present, and while the gain this year is not so remarked as in some previous years, 1t Is stlli consluer- able. Kansas shows the greatest increase, the number being IS, while Illinois follows with a gain of v. It is curious to notice that New York, the scene of so much political activity during the last campaign, should have only about one third as many newspapers as the State of Pennsylvania. As an index to the comparative growth and prosperity of different sections of the country, especially the Ter ritories the number of the new pa pers forms an interesting study and may well occupy the attention of the curious.

The Law and the Price of Money

We thoroughly agree with the Malvern News as to the usury law and its workings. The law of sup ply and demand should apply in money lending and borrowing as in ether avenues of trade, and no linn it should be fixed by law, save in cases where no rate is specified by parties to contract. Here is what the News says on the subject;
 "The usury law was probably passed to compel the rich man to lend money to the poor for .a alni- ted interest. It does not and nev- CT could have the effect. But it makes him, if he lends money when it is worth more than the statuary rate, charge for the extra risk much greater rate than the real value of money. The snug gling poor man must pay this one way or another. If he cannot Dor row the money he must mortgage to his merchant and pay it in the double profit on the goods. He may mortgage his whole property to loan companies now doing bnsi- ness all over the State, paying them 10 per cent interest, and al so paying their agent go per cent for negotiating the loan. So by creating a debt of $500, with inter- est at 10 per cent, the poor man can raise S400. Every law like this only works hardship on that class it is designed to benefit.'

The Fad Oi n Celebrated Case.

Gazette May the aih.
 The suit brought in the United States court before Judge Caldwell by MT. M. c. Harris against the citizens Committee of Fourteen of Hot Springs for cxpelling him from that city on the 29th of February, 1884, ended yesterday. The jury rendered q verdict for lhe plaintiff, assessing damages at $l, ,250. The case has attracted great attention throughout the state; and in Little Rock it has been during the eight days of the trial the cheif topic of conversation.
 It was known tlrat the Citizens Committee was an illegal body, though composed of reputable citi. zens whose object was to, if possi' ble, rid Hot Springs of the vicious clements, whose lawlessnesss was exerting so evil an influence on that city's property. It was known that the explusion of MT. Harris, whose course as editor of the Daily Horse Shoe had given offense to a large number of citizens, was an illegal act. But the persons res ponsible for that act justified 1t on the broad grounds of that "neces sity which knows no law ,"or. .rath- CT, which becomes a law unto it. self. There can be no more doubt of the good intentions of the mem bers of that committee than of the illegalty of .heir methods. Hence; when made defendants to the suit instituted by the plaintiff, and brought into court, they introduced such evidence as was deemed es- sential to confine the verdict to the actual damages the plaintiff sus- tained.
 The verdict of the jury was evi- dcntly designed so stop at the point of the actual damages. The decision seems to have been reach ed by application of offsets, and the damages the plaintiff sustain cd because of the humiliation incl. dent to the manner of his eXpul- sion were weighed in the balance against tho measure of his own contribution as editor, Assoc lated Press agent and telegra?hic cores pondent toward creating the terri ble condition of affairs then prevail. ing. There was doubtless to the jury abundant reason to believe that, if sinned against by the law. less manner of his expulsion. he was not without sin. A verdict for the jury's estimate of actual dam ages was the result.
 The verdict cut both ways. Its principle vindicated the law, in the determination to punish illegal actions. however justitiable they may be from moral standpoint. II admonishes bodies of the char. acter of the Citizens Committee that only legal methods should be pursued in community where the processes of the civil courts are unobstructsd. But on the other hand the verdict held the plaintiff to responsibility for his own course sufficient in the estimation of the jury to offset any claim pre- ferred by him for damage in excess of his actual loss in money.
 This is the outcome of probably the most interesting case ever brought in Arkansas under the civil code
