An official of the company says it will be used until it has run out. but he thinks it will
 be the last of the English locomotives on that line.
 Missouri is to have a high licence law. and
 1t will be a pretty radical one. In addition
 to the uniform tax of $500 per year there is
 required in the various towns and cities a
 special license tax, which in the case of St.
 Louis would amount to $1, 500, making the
 total license tax in that city 5000. The en-
 forcement of the law in all it's branches is inn posed in the larger cities upon the police authorities. The present number of saloons in St. Louis is estimated at from 2,000 to 2,500 and it is supposed that the new tax rate, with proper care in enforcing the law, would reduce the number to 1000 at most, and to 600 at the lowest, yielding the city
 from s1, 200, ,OoO to $2, ,OoO, ,0O0 annual income. Another report has been made to the New York assembly with plans and estimates for completing the State Capitol. The estimated cost is about two and quarter millions, and this is said to be large reduction from the cost of finishing the structure according to the designs of the architects employed pre- viously. It will bring the whole cost up to about twenty millions, instsad of four mil- lions as originally estimated. But this does not include extraordinary repairs, which are much needed outside and inside. Replacing
 stones improperly set and thrust out of their
 places by frost, reconstructing the gutters,
 rebuilding chimneys, taking out crumbling
 and ruinous arches, changing the arrange
 ment of rooms, corridors and stairways, and
 so forth, are among the repairs proposed.

TWO LIBEL SUITS.

There is good deal of discussion nowa- days concerning the freedom of the press. Two cases which have just been decided in- dicate what newspaper can and cannot say.
 The Minnesota Tribune was sued for say ing of & man that he had removed his office to his house to save expenses" The Supreme court held that this was no libel, remarking that the language "did not im- port anything unlawful, disreputable or un- professional, since professional man had 8 perfect molal and legal right to change the location of his office to his house in his dis cretion for any reasons satisfactory to him- self, whether to save expenses or otherwise" :"
 At the city election in Fall River a re- porter of the News of that city, visiting one of the precincts in the discharge of his duty, observed some boisterous and unseemly con- duct and talk of profane, swaggering and threatening nature which might properly be described as intimidation, or an attempt at it. The reporter wrote, and the News pub lished, spirited description of the scene, including the names of the persons whose conduct was most objectionable. One of them sued the paper, and was defeated. In his charge to the jury the judge said: There can be no question that what takes place in polling room, where citizens are engaged in the wise duty of citizenship, exercising tine the right of suffrage, the manner in which that right is exercised, the conduct of per sons who are around the polling place, the manner in which the duty is performed, both by the citizens and officers who have charge of the polling. are of the utmost consequence to every citizen in any city in our common wealth. Our elections are the source of all power and authority. If the source be cor rupt, if the citizen is unreasonably inter- fered with while exercising his right, intimi- dated or coerced by any person who by his conduct and by his word is so boisterous or so umseemly in his behavior as to disturb ths presiding officers, then it is matter of in- terest to every citizen and to the whole body of the commonwealth. It is therefore a right and duty, not only of the press, but of the individual, if he is satisfied that such occurrences have taken place, to stigmatize such occurrences, to characterize the actions of the persons who performed them as they deserved, in order that people may be dis couraged from interference with that which is the right, the duty and the privilege of the citizen.
 These are both interesting cases, and they help to show what is and is not a proper subject of newspaper comment.

 LIMERICK, Ireland, March IS. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Among those who have never visited Tres land the idea is prevalent that, aside from the wondrous beauty and surpassing gram deur of her scenery, there is little else for contemplation save squalor, want and suffer ing. This is undoubtedly true among three million five hundred thousand of her four million five hundred thousand inhabitan,- But among the one million remaining, who possibly may all know what comfort is, there is a no mean percentage forming the aristoc- racy of title and wealth in Ireland. This is practically the class which confscates all that is earned-for it comprises the major portion of lords of land-and continues, in spite of the moral sentiment of the world. the slavery and starvation of the Irish peas- antry.
 With no available general information re- garding the matter, the surprising thing to the stranger here who uses both his legs and eyes, and who possesses these preconceived notions of Ireland's sterility, is the frequen- cy with which these titled personages will be met, and the magni6cence, in the face of the searching light of political agitation, in which they live. Baronial hall, ducal pal aces, lordly castles and splendid seats are ex- pressions not strange to the literature and descriptive journalism of England. In read ing of Ireland they usually occur only when antiquities and ruins are under discussion. We are continually told of the decay of the Gold Irish gentleman" and given moldy pics lures of ghostly and desolate manor-houses. The facts are, that comparing the population and wealth Cor poverty) of Ireland with those of England, the former country far out shines, if it is matter for credit, the latter in the almost regal habitations of it's nobili- ty. This will astonish many; but it is true. It has not been the result of general prosper ity in Ireland. It is the monumental proof of her constantly keener poverty and wrongs.
 have no means of knowing, save from glimpses in travel, of the approximate num- Der of castles and seats in England. But have seen with my own eyes nearly two hun dred and fifty tremendous and splendid structures of this class in Ireland That is not the whole number by any means. Con- sidering that Ireland, including her adjacen, islands, has an area of nearly twenty three thousand square miles less than the State oi Illinois, which State with an even distribu | tion would possess from two to three of these splendid piles to each county, thought survey of their surprising frequency can ca | silly be had. It is also true that with few | notable exceptions the Irish castles and seats of to-day are equal in dimensions, arehitec- tural art, and certainly in richness, adorn'

 According to religious paper it cost this government s1, ,s4s, 900 to support a,20O Da- kots Indians for seven years while they were savages. After they were christianized it cost $129, ,000 to care for the same number for the same time, saving of $1, ,72S, GOO.
 revivalist in Tams, Iowa, recently asked all the members in the congregation who paid their debts to rise. The rising was gen. eral. After they had taken their seats Brother Garlock called on all who did not pay their debts to rise, when Brother Wonzer of the Herald rose and explained that he was an editor and could not pay because all the rest of the Congregation were owing him on sub- scription.
 The British postmaster general reports that last year 391 ,662 persons in this country sent money by postal order to Great Britain and Ireland, the total sum amounting to about $5, ,25O 1000, while 7S, ,340 persons in Canada sent over $1 ,0OO, ,O0O in the same way, and the total sum sent in that way from Aus- tralia, the United States and South Africa in the year was over s9, ,O0O, 900, or an average of over $50, ,OO0 day, coming from 635, ,256 persons.
 Woman is still going on. School suffrage has been granted to the women of Detroit, and they are making very lively canvass for the election, which occurs on Monday. One of the qualifications for voting is that the woman shall be married. One woman who wished to register was asked if she was married and replied "No, but I'm engaged, and went out, was married and took the cleo tors oath.
 The French government is concerning it- self with the condition of the gold coinage of the country, which is somewhat the worse for wear. The gold coinage actually in cir culation in France represents 8 value of about e120,0O0,00O, and the depreciation which it has undergone is estimated at e120,- 900. It is, as might have been expected, the smaller pieces which have suffered most. It is, however, only with the twenty-franc pieces that the authorities of the mint intend dealing for the present.
 In 1880 some thirty young women in Ber- lin started an Old Maids club, with provi- sion for fine of 1000 marks upon every one who married. The club was great success, but suddenly an epidemic of marriage set in and at the annual meeting this year only one member was left and she found herself called upon to dispose of 2s 900 marks, the aocum- ulation of the fines paid by the former mem- bers. She took the advice of the ex-members and it was decided that half the sum should go to hospital and that the solitary old maid should have the rest for herself.
 The Pennsylvania railroad company is ex. perimenting with an English locomotive on it's main line between Harrisburg and Altoo- na. In the run between the two cities the English machine consumes five to ten bushels of coal less than an American engine, but ex. perienced railroad men think that the foreigr locomotive cannot compare with those made in this country. They say it takes more tim, to start, cannot haul heavy train, and, talk ing it all in all, cannot be depended upon
