Believes in the EmeAcy of Law.


DR.. Keen. at Roberts Park. last evening,
taking for his text "Who is ON the Lords
side," referred to his position regarding
the Sunday-train question at Camp Acton.
His not %consenting to such trains being
run, even during the Murphy meetings that
were to follow those under the Doctors di-
~rection. led to Mr.. Murphy transferring his
work to this city. DR.. Keen, in his sermon,
opposed the methods of Mr.. Murphy as being
all-powerful to save drinkards. He said
love alone could not take man away from
the dram-shop and keep him sober. The
etfectual remedy lay in law, which must be
enforced vigorously. An illustration of
what law can do in closing the saloons he
found in the success of the Cincinnati au-
thOrities stopping liquor selling there on
Sunday. The Doctor devoted some time to
defending his course at Camp Acton. and
in speaking Of the success Of its meetings.

The New Jersey Libel Law.

The Herald has been trying for long
time 10 induce the Legislature OF New York
State to pass q new and improved libel law
one that would protect editors from the con-
sequences OF false and injurious statements
msds by them concerning other persons.
We some time ago advised the Herald that
in Virginia we needed no better libel law
than the enc on the statute-book, which pro-
vides that the defendant may plead the truth
OF his Injurious statements, aud, proving
their truth, shall not be mulcted 10 damages.
II seems that In New Jersey the law IS the
same as It Is 10 Virginia. In bis charge to
the Jury 10 a recent libel case New Jersey
Judge said:
"The importance Of the newspaper In the
detection and prevention OF crime cannot be
oyerestimated. The schemes 10 enable men
20 obtain dishonesty the savings OF a life.
time are numerous, and il Is to the newspa-
pers almost entirely that We must LOOK for
the detection OF these crimes. IL. IN this
case, the defendant can satisfy the jury that
the Published story Is true substantially, he
has committed no offence and is entitled tC
verdict"
Why is not tbst good law everywhere A

per shows up. lie performs duty which he
owes to the public when be warns them that

Ter and thus set fire 10 the building. The
fire. aided by the Gas, spread over the build
ing rapidly. aud almost In an Instant the
whole building was abiaze. The fire
company reported quickly and soon
had the FIRE under control. The building
Is still standing, but presents q very
