LIBEL,

A new feature has been unfolded in
the law of libel as applied by the courts
of Texas and lately decided by the
Court of Appeal Commissioners at Aus
tin, and the attention of THE HERALD's
readers is called to the case reported in
another column. y. II. COPELAND re-
covered verdict of $1,000 against the
Express Printing Company Of San An
tonic for words and utterances in the
San Antonio Express alleged to be defa-
matory and libelous. The plaintiff
was at the time candidate for mayor.
The charges were of personal charac-
ter, endeavoring to substantiate the
allegation of the editor that COPELAND
was not suitable person to be elected
mayor.
The Express was backed in its state
ment by what was considered respecta-
BILE authority, and further stated in
answer that there was no malice in its
attack on COPELAND. But the Judge in
the court below instructed the Jury that
when the Express had put in a plea OF
justification and failed to sustain it,
malice must be inferred. Under such
instruction the jury brought in verdict
of 81, 800 against the Express defendant
and from which the appeal was taken.
JUDGE WATTS delivered the, opinion
of the Commissioners Court, and after
deciding that the answer Of the Express
did not assert the truth of the publica-
ton as a defense, further laid down the
law that defendant was not liable be-
cause "the answer asserted that thu pub
LEGATION was privileged and made upon
probable cause in good faith and with
out malice"
The Revised Statutes give tho right to
parties defendant to put in all kinds OF
pleas, whether of law or fact, and JUDGE
WATTS in his opinion very properly as
serts that such right is not to be i'm
paired by reason of apparent incon.
sistency. In other words, he seems to
assert in this case the absolute right OF
the defendant to plead justification
without prejudice against him when he
alleges, also, that there was no malice
intended. In other terms the absolute
failure of justification pleading does not
necessarily impose malice on the de-
PENDANT to such an extent as TO make the
matter libelous. This appears to be
good law and, in the eyes of the aver
age layman, is certainly good sense.

A BRAN new proceeding tending to
show the bent of the American mind in
the direction of cooperation, occurred
at Cooper on the 18th day Of this month
The bar met in open session and passed
resolutions requesting the appointment
of A. A. HENDERSON as attorney for the
Texas Il Pacific railroad to succeed the
late COLONEL THOMAS j. CAMPBELL
Mr.. HENDERSON is good lawyer, but
it occurs to some that an attorueyship is
employment and not appointivo in It's
nature like judgeships and other posi-
tons instituted by law.

THE prevalence of the cotton worm in
North Texas justifies the publication of
the following sensible plan for its eXter-
mination, which The HERALD extracts
from the Sherman Journal:
"Mr. CULLERs, of the wholesale house
OF CULLERs & HENRY, called on us last
evening and reported that an effort had
been made on one of his rented farms
on Red River 10 kill the cotton worm,
and sure antidote found. Mr.. BOAT.
MAN, the renter, has 20 acres of cotton,
In which the worms had commenced
working. He took a brush drug and
ran over 1t, two rows at time,
Mherever he could find any worms.
This tore up the web and destroyed the
worms completely, and the experiment
Is pronounced success. Out OF the %
acres, he will not lose three, while an.
other renter on the same farm will sus.
tain heavy loss. The theory OF this
plan seems to be good, and as the oXpe-
riment costa neither time nor trouble,
we recommend II TO those afflicted with
the pest"
