TILE LlREL LAW.

The verdict of the jury giving one cent
damages in the recent libel suit against the
Minneapolis Tribune will probably be a
check on speculative litigation IN THIS
state. There has been disposition OF late
years, OH the part of a certain class OF at
torneys who have an eve to speculation, 10
work the Minnesota libel law for all there
is in it, and more too. The law is unjust
and harsh at best. 1t gives opportunity
for harassing litigation where justice
does not demand it. 1t is very
seldom that an individual of good character
is s!andered through the public press. And
in nearly every instance. if by any mistake
or misunderstanding reflection is cast
upon the character of good man, and the
attention of the journal is called to it. the
mistake is remedied and such an apology as
is always satisfactory to a, gentleman is OF
fered. AS rule. it is only that class OF
people whose regulations cannot be dam
aged that seek pecuniary satisfaction. TINS
class. together with class of lawyers who
are always ready to take chances in any sort
of scheme that has prospect for money
in it. are the ones who annoy the newspa-
pers with libel suits. Now that the Jurles
of the country have come to understand
this fact and fix damages at the minimum
of one cent there will be less disposition to
stir I'D this class of litigation. Still the
libel law ought to be amended. A verdict
of one cent damage is equivalent to saying
that there is no damage. and the jury is
only prevented from saying SO because OF
the unnecessarily strict provisions OF the
law. If there is no damage there should
be no costs imposed on the defendant.

The Tnrong OF odd Fellows

CHICAGO, Sept 17.-Since this morning
Odd Fellows have been pouring into Chi
cago. Special trains have arrived on
nearly all the Northwestern. Western and
Southwestern railway lines centering at
this city, The occasion for this assembiage
is the meeting of the sovereign grand lodge
of the order. which begins in Boston on
Monday. This city was selected as the
rendezvous of all members of the fraternity
from points west of the Mississippi river
Six thousand of them had arrived
up to tonight, and by tomorrow the num-
Der will have reached 10, zoe. 1t is the in
tention to leave for Boston tomorrow over
the Grand Trunk road. There were loo
Pullman cars i'll the Grand Trunk yards to-
night, which had arrived as parts of the
special trains on the Western roads, Most
of the visitors preferred to retain their quar-
tiers in the cars to going to hotels. The
visitors were rendered reception at the
First NJ. E. church by the Chicago associa-
ton. About one thousand persons were

A Forgery Case.

NEW YORK. Sept. Nv. K. Ferrelle,
alias Andrews, alias Joe Lewis. was ar
raigned to-day before United States Com
missioner Griffith. The prisoner is charged
with forging and altering drafts TO the
amount of nearly two thousand dollars
against his employer w. c. N. Parker. a
wholesale clothing dealer of Montreal. The
money was alleged to have been obtained
by Ferrelle from the Nelson's bank and the
Bank of Montreal in Montreal. Parker
began suit against the banks for cashing the
drafts. The banks sent Detective Gil
lert. superintendent of the metropolitan De-
tectve agency, of Montreal, to hunt up
Ferrelle. The latter was arrested in Chi
cago, and taken first to Montreal to be
used as witness against Parker, who, the
prisoner asserts signed the drafts himself.
Judging that there were warrants for the
arrest of the young man, he was brought
to New York to have his evidence taken
before commissioner tonight. After the
testimony Ferrelle was arrested on a war
rant issued by a commissioner and lodged
in jail. He demanded an examination on
the ground that he was citizen of the
United States. The case was then adj
journed until tomorrow.

A LESSON TO BE NEEDED.

In the death of Mr.. BARR late editor of
the Pittspurg Post. there is warning les
son to the members of the newspaper pro-
feSsion, which deserves to be needed. Mr.
BARR was only I'D the Gath year of his
age, but nearly thirty-fve years OF his life
had been devoted to newspaper work His
physicians say that he did not die of dis
ease-that he simply wore out. There was
a general breaking down of the physical
powers and organs from overwork. There
are hundreds of bright newspaper men all
over this country who are to-day Fastening
to their graves in the same way. 1t is only
a question of physical endurance, and
hardly that. The human system will run
down and stop. An occasional rest is the
only winding key that will keep the ma
chinery in motion.

Buignria,s Plight.

SOFIA, Sept. 17-The IsObranje has
voted grant of 500, 600 francs to purchase
all of Prince AleXander's property in Bull
garia. retaining from the whole sum 1885,
600 francs with which to liquidate the
princes indebtedness to the National
bank. When the prOnnsal TO- make the
appropriation was brought before the
sobranje, one of the deputies arose to de-
bate it. This caused such an uproar that
all the other deputies arose and left the
chamber. protesting against any discussion
of the proposition. After an absence of
FIVE minutes, the abstrepOrOus member hav-
ing in the meantime had his intentions
changed, the deputies returned and passed
the appropriation unanimously. 1t tran
spires that when the president of
the assembly handed the Russian agents
at Sofia the sObranje's telegram to the car
praying for his friendship and protection,
the agent said he hoped now that the main
obstacle to good relations between Russia
and Bulgaria was removed the car would
accept the petition and answer it favorably.
The st. Petersburg Official Messenger says
that the mission of Gen. Baron Kaulbars to
Sofia is to acquaint himself with the con-
dltion of affairs in Bulgaria, and by his
counsel enable the Bulgarians to extrieate
themselves by peaceable and orderly means
from the critical position in which Bulgaria
has been placed by recent events.
A rumor is current that plot has been
discovered to assassinate Prince Alexander
and that two men have been found who
were paid to commit the crime The Rus
sian agent has informed the Bulgarian gov
eminent that Russia has not only resolved
to maintain the independence of Bulgaria,
but has reserved for herself the right of
defending it. Coils. Mnkeroff and NicO-
laiotf, the latter of whom is minister of
war; both declare that unless Alexanders
kidnappers be punished, revolution may
break out at any moment. The trial of the
revolutionists by court martial is proceed
ing in spite of Russian prohibition, and is
considered direct act of rebellion against
Russia.

FRONTIER SMUGGLTNG

One of the impracticabIe features of the
high protective tariff Under which the
country IS now suffering is the impossibility
of preventing smuggling. This is especially
difficult on our northern and northwestern
boundaries With the high tariff placed
upon diamonds and other portable articles,
the temptation to get them into the country
is to many people irresistible, and conse-
quentIy it has been developed that the
smuggling on the frontier, which affords the
easiest opportunities, has reached huge pro-
portions. The reason why it is so readily
carried on is at once apparent On the st.
Lawrence and New England frontier there
is an extent of 1000 miles to be protected
by about one hundred customs officers.
while on the Pacific coast there is a stretch
of l.500 miles more left practically un-
guarded. The collector at st. Vincent. for
instance, can hardly be blamed for the
smugglin e of goods over the line in the
Northwest when one of his subordinates
stationed at Bismarck has 500 miles of from
tier to covrr and the remaining

been very shabbily treated, and if
he is really in the race will

in fact would be only too glad to refuse
that gentleman the Endorsement which
would be implied in giving him their votes.

by Judge WILSON is foregone conclusion.
1t would only add a few more hundreds to
the latter's majority, should WHITE enter
the contest. So, while the Republican
brethren may frantically beseech him to de-
fine his position, the Democrats can keep
right on in their canvass serene with the
consciousness of coming victory. But why
shouldn't Mr.. WHITE run if lie wants to?

The Pool. Makers.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE railway man
ayers in session here did not succeed to-day
in overcoming all the obstacles in the way
of forming Western passenger association.
The sticking points were upon the method
of fixing the percentages and the taking in
of certain business at Milwaukee and st.
Louis. An agreement was reached, how
ever, that the pool should begin Oct. / and
hold for three years. Adjournment was
taken until after the meeting of the North
western Freight and Passenger association.
AS the interests of all of the three pools
Southwest. West and Northwest-are inter
dependent. nothing further will be done un-
til the affairs of the other two are adjusted.
All of the officials are of the opinion that ali
agreement will be arrived at in all of the
pools before the first of next month.
