THE recommendation of libel law ~
the New York State press association
contains the essence of justice III this:
Presumption of malice shall not rest
in the fact of publication alone;'
ga full and fair retractIon of any
statement alleged to be libelous, if made
within three days by daily newspaper
after such mistake or error is brought to
the knowledge of the proprietor or edi-
tor, shall be admitted in justifca ton
and in mitigation, and the plaintiff shall
recover only actual damages, and the
plaintiff must show this actual damage
to his property, business, trade or oc-
cupation -
The trouble in Texas is that publica-
ton is deemed presumptive of malice,
and the plaintiff in Texas always cares
more for exemplary damages than for
the actual injury, since the latter is nom
xistent outside the mind of the libel
lawyer-who gets one-half the swag.

EVERYBODY s business is nobody's bus
ness. Fort Worth should organize for
the work it has to do, and pay some
man to give time and attention to the
promotion of projects for the good of
the city. individuals have interest in
the town in proportion to their possess
sions, and the demand is upon one no
more than upon another to give his time
and thought and labor for the common
benefit. Fort Worth has great need to
work at this time, and to work ener-
getically and intelligently and persist
ently-but everybody's business is
nobody's business.

TO THE RALLRoADS.

Meet the people half way. The Dallas
convention on the Sth instant will be
composed of business men, and its action
will be dominated by business demands.
This is the opportunity of the roads to
demonstrate whether they desire to deal
justly by the people or not. If the rail-
roads capture the convention and answer
the plea of the people for bread with
stone, as was done in the matter of spe-
cial passenger rates last month, the re-
suit will be another agitation next year
of a political nature.
The railroads have lost many friends in
Texas by their evident unwillingness to
heartily support any movement designed
to promote the development of the state,
and by favoritism manifested when the
half-hearted aid was finally yielded.
This year the railroads and people can
meet on a business basis, and it remains
for the railroads to say whether the re-
suit of this coming convention shall be
satisfactory and final. or whether the
roads Will so manage as TO ind themselves

NOT long since the railroad commissioners of
Kansas ordered that Wichita should have the
same freight rates as Missouri river points; and
the railroad companies declared with one voice
that the order would compel them to do business
at positive loss. Now. we observe, one of the
principal lines has voluntarily applied the
Wichita rate to all other important cities in the
state. Verify, railroad philosophy is most pecu-
liar and bewildering. Louis Globe-Demo-
Graf.
These are facts that strengthen the
commission idea in Texas. If railroads
will not voluntarily deal justly with all
towns and individuals in Texas, and If
law against discrimination is a dead
letter, then Texas will demand COM
mission and a commission that will COM
pei the roads to treat all towns and indi-
yiduals alike, whether the rate be held
at the maximum or minimum.

THE Texas state immigration bureau is
dead. It's malady was complicated. The
child was of healthy birth, but its sus-
tenance was insufficient. The rail-

CARLoTTA PATTI, who died the other
day, was sister of the famous Adelina,
and. like her, was gifted with voice of
wondrous beauty. Alameness prevented
her appearing in opera, and her successes
were made upon the concert stage. Her
voice had much of that fine fiexibility
that characterizes Adelina's, and had
more range. But for the misfortune of
being cripple she had doubtless been
her sister s greatest rival.

WHAT with lotteries and prize fights
the people of New Orleans must have a
hard time of it to be moral law abiding,

on lotteries for money and on prize fights

SPEAKING of high schools, Judge Miller
of the United States Supreme Court
seems to question their constlt utionality
in the state of Iowa. In magazine ar
ticle, the Judge says of high schools in
Iowa: ''These high schools in the larger
cities are to some extent the equivalents
of lower grades of colleges, and no
doubt better education is frequently OBJ
tanned in them than can be had in poorly
endowed ana struggling colleges, which
perhaps should never have been started.
1t is, however, becoming question, and
a grave one, in the State, whether these
high schools are not a violation of the
spirit and purpose found il the statutes,
which were intended to establish what
we understand by the words a "a COM
mon-school system. -
