CAPTAIN MULLER of the Missouri
has found it more perilous to be lion
on land than sailor at sea. The
lioniZers have SO fiattered and feted
him that, not having the capacity of a
boa constructor nor the digestion of an
ostrich, he was finally overcome and
had to retire to his quarters in the
Missouri half dead from the attentions
showered on him. Devoid of the van
ity of Boulanger or a Jay Burton,
he was unable to digest the flattery
and adulation heaped on him, and took
to his bed sick from the effects. Poor
Murrell, he seems to have been the
only sensible person connected with
the lioniZing, and but for the much ado
made over him since arriving at port
would never have dreamed that he
had done more than his duty in rescu-
ing a ship wrecked crew.

PARNELL AcAINsTTHE TIMES.

The Hutchinson News thinks that
Parnell made a mistake in bring
ing suit against the London Times for
a half million in damages. Were it
the case of any other man but Parnell,
considering the predjudices combat
ting him on every side. it might with
good reason be regarded as hazardous.

is one of the last men in Great Britain
to do hasty or i'll advised thing, 1t
is not recorded that in the twelve
years Of his parliamentary life, he
has committed any serious errors or
made any hurtful mistakes. The Sc
cret of his success is found in his calm
equipOise and good, hard sense which
never deserts him. If he has not a
sound and meritorious cause of action
against the Times, no man ever had.
If he cannot secure averdict against
that paper for exemplary damages,
then English libel laws are mockery,
delusion and a snare. 1T is hard,
says the News, ''to prove malice. ="
Yes, as matter of fact it cannot be
proved. 1t must be inferred from the
character and cause of the attack in
spired by it and from the attending
circumstances. In view of these facts,
no reasonable mind can doubt for a
moment that the Times attack on him
was inspired by tiendish malice. Con-
slider a moment.
1t classed him with the most
Infamous characters in the land. He
was the ally, friend and adviser
of assassins, murderers and
dynamiters. To. prove the
charge of his completely and connec-
tion with these people, letters were pub
lished in that paper, purporting
to be written by him, detailing the Sc
cret Vaccinations of the conspirators.
When given an opportunity to prove
in open court the truth of its charges,
the inculpating letters were shown to
have been forged by emissaries of the
Times, men equally as infamous and
disreputable as any bombardiers in the
kingdom, men who had for months
and years been in the pay of that pa
per for no other purpose than to pro-
cure or concOct evidence that would

two years ago proved. but when at last
Mr.. Parnell succeeded in getting the
case before a commission where the
charges would be tested by the rules
OF evidence, they fell to the ground,
and the Times stood before the bar, a
convicted traducer and malignant liar,
that in its overwhelmed and humili-
ated condition could scarcely find
words in which to falter out snivel-
ing and insincere apology. Neither
the Times nor its attorneys dreamed
that the accused held in his hands a
key to the forged letters, without
which it would be impossible for him to
prove the forgery. If they had we'll

s.n,.,iop h . Msx,osu settlement.

LAS CRUCES, n. M. April 26.-The
usually quiet town of Lamesilla. a Mex
lean settlement of more than thous-
and inhabitants, was thrown into an
uproar to-day by the arrest of twenty
four couples charged with living to-
gether unlawfully. It has been a COM
mon practice with the lower classes,
who are mostly Catholics. They are
recognized by their own class as man
and wife. In the justice court they
were all found guilty, and they VIII
appeal to the district court. The ar
rest was caused by q defeated candi-
date for q precinct Office, who thus took
revenge. and the victorious party has
retaIiated by getting out warrants for
sixteen Of their opponents under the
same charge.

A NEW idea has been suggested to
head off the binding Irvine trust, name
ly, that the state erect factory and
put the convicts to work making Irvine
which may be sold to the farmers at
cost price. If there were but a single
trust organized to rob the farmer, the
idea might not be bad one. But as
that is not the case. and trusts are be-
coming as plentiful as autumn leaves
something else will have to be done
The idea of few hundred conyictl
bucking against few hundred trusts
or even one big one, is very ridiculous Il

case go by default.
A court that would say such facts
did not warrant charge of malice
would deserve the execration of man
kind. But let us remember that these
facts. damaging as they are, appeared
while the Times had the floor and was
trying to make case. The other side
has yet to be heard from. Facts more
damaging are likely to follow When
both sides have been heard. perhaps
our esteemed contemporary will think
better OF Mr.. Parnell's case.

three or four cottages and erected a
