1T is A BURDEN

Canadian Crescent: The press of the
state is now engaged-in an energetic dis
cussion of the present libel law, and
many improvements are being suggested.
1t is, as at present constituted, a burden
and hardship on the energetic publica-
tons of the state and might wisely be
amended to protect honest journalism
against blackmail and intimidation. The
repeal of the criminal provisions and the
substitution of civil libel would be ample
enough protection to the public and no

fair play They are denied both under
the existing statute. The points of
amendment suggested by the Fort Worth
GAZETTE are in the line of what is needed.

sisted in defacing the homes of Demo-

THE DYING PRIVATE.
From the Pine Bluff Commercial.

FROM the zine Hun commercial.
In the summer of 1876, while moving
about in the western part Of the state OF
Arkansas, the writer was invited by his
friend, DIR. D., TO take ride into the
country where the doctor had a patient
sick with typhoid fever. After a jaunt OF
two hours we came TO q humble looking
home hard by corn field and cotton
patch of some forty or fifty acres. The
house was the old-iashioned double-pen
log cabin with hall between the two rooms.
A few horses and buggy or two were tied
here and there in the grove and few
men and some ladies sat on the steps and
four or five mcrry-hear,cd children were
rompng and playing in the yard. On
entering the room We saw, stretched on
the bed in dcirium OF fever and suit
cring, man about forty.iiye years of age,
full beard high forehead and n sinewy
frame. There was restless moving OF
his arms and fingers, but II serious, de-

The shout that went up made the ground
tremble, and might have been heard a
mile, while the stamping Of feet and clap

spectators.
