A Peculiar Tribe of Indians.

The Seris Indians, who, it is reported, have recently crossed from the Tiburen Islands in the Gulf of California to the mainland and are raiding the ranches, number about 800 in all, and are one of the tallest races on the continent, nearly all measuring feet inches. It is claimed by some that they are cannibals. However, they are the only Indians in No1%h America using poisoned arrows, and they prefer raw decomposed meat to meat that has been cooked, and in fact live entirely upon raw food. In stature, looks, language and manners they are different from any other Indians in the Americas.
 A few years ago Turk visited their island, and he claimed that they spoke his tongue. In appearance they resemble the Malayans, but few civilized people have ever had the courage to visit the island they inhabit, and those who have and got away alive aretegarded as being decidedly fortunate.-Home Journal.

Justice to the Press.

This is from the proceedings of the National Editorial Association at san Antonio:
 On re-assembhug, Nicc-Prcsident McCabc in the chair. the committee on libel reported, recommending the policy adopted at Denver one year ago be re-atlirmed, in addition that the editors in the several States make every effort to obtain the following amendments of the libel statues wherever they arc not at present m force;
 |. Where libclous publications are made, malice shall not be pre- sumed unless a retraction or an apul- ogy is refused, or unless the cireum- stances surrounding the publications, or refusal, eonclusively prove malice,
 ,. That the taking of contingent fees in libel suits be made criminal offensc.
 3. That civil suit should not be allowed by law to be conducted a> though defendants were criminals, and should be for actual damages and these damages should be proven.
 4. That an explanation or re- traction should be given weight in mitigation of damages.
 j. That defendant should be al- lowed to show absence of malice. ana this should be given weight in miti' gation of damages,
 6. That each association connec- ted with the national association bC requested to procure, if possible, the enactment of law by its State legis- lature embodying their recommenda- ton and defining what constitutes libel.
 The report of the committee was adopted after much discussion.
 The press of Arkansas are almost unanimous in favoring revision oI Arkansas libel laws, and the abov, resolutions we most heartily com mend and endorse The legislator who secures the passage of some sucl law will, at one jump, find himself oI the top round of the ladder of fame and will have clear title to almos any political honor.

Ansley says that nine-tenths of the Union Labor men will be glad that the Democrats were defeated in the national election, and Langley rejoices over it, and the rest of the U. l.. leaders join in the chorus. This shows conclusively where these men stand-that they are not the true friends of labor. Past history shows that the Republican party has no conscience, and with full control of the government they will rule with 2 high hand. It is very much to the detriment of the Wheel that such men as Langley, Ansley, and others of their sort occupy such high posi. tions as to enable them to dictate and 1t is more of q detriment that so many Wheelers will follow in their wake They will yet prove the rock upon which the noble order will be wrecked unless a change is made [Lockesbnrg Tocsin.
