AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
WESTERN DISTRICT ATTORNEY

WESTERN DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Our special Washington cOrrespOn-
dent, who makes careful inquests into
all matters concerning which he
writes, is of opinion that the district
attorney for the Western Texas dis
trict will resign his office very shortly
after March 4th. Concerning said at
torneyship, the LIGHT is of opinion
that there is one man in Texas more
justly entitled to hold said office UNI
der a republican administration than
another, and that man is Hon. A. J.
Evans, elector at large for this state.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Evans
held this office and that his term
lacked many moons of having eX-
pired whan he was ousted from office
on the flimsy pretence of offensive
partisanship." phrase under cover
of which more efficient Otficeholders
were removed from office than were
ever removed from service IN the same
length of time in the history of this
country. There never was breath
of calumny breathed against Mr..
Evans. The United States courts
never had more efficient, valuable or
watchful officer. His record before
those courts will compare favOrably
with the record made by any prOseCut-
ing attorney in the United States and
the disproof of this statement is chal-
lenged. Mr.. Evans was removed
from office, an Office, the duties OF
which he discharged to the complete
satisfaction of justice, and he
was removed purely and
simply because he was re-
publican and for nothing else. II
were in accordance with the eternal
fitness of things that Mr.. Evans
should be reinstated in that Office for
the balance of that unexpected term
solely because he is a republican
The LIGHT however puts its CLAIMS
for this restoration of Office on no such
grounds but purely and simply on the
grounds of the efficiency of the Off
Ger so needlessly depOsed, and as re-
buke to such methods of political gull
lotining. With the advent of the repub
lican party into power, in the south
particularly, it is to be desired thai
only the very bestappointments posi-
BILE be made. This is an indispensable
condition to the most efficient public
service, and also as guarantee OF the
gcol faith of the party in assuming
the reins of government. Criticism
will come, alike Of men and measures
and the administration must not be
hampered by the presence Of neon
petent men in public service. Over
and above and beyond all cOnsidera,

The Chill Blast

That sets the naked branches quivering, is
not felt by the wealthy valetudinarian in
doors. but not all the covering that can be
Pulled on his warm bed. nor all the furnace
heat that anthraci can furnish, will warm
his marrow when chils and fever runs its icy
fingers along his spinal column. HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters is the thing to infuse new
warmth into his chilled and aguish frame, to
remedy the fierce fever and eXhausting
sweats which alternate with the chill. Dumb
ague, ague cake, bilious remittent-ln short,
every known form of maarial disease is sub
jugated by this potent, and at the same time,
wholesome and genial medicine. Biliousness,

THE WILSON LIBEL BILL.


This bill introduced by Wilson, of
Harris, purports to regulate civil prose-
cutions for libel and SANDER in the
state of Texas, and contains nine Sec
tons.
The first section provides that prob
! able cause is a question of law to be
decided by the trial judge upon estab-
! Iished or conceded facts.
Section ,. Defines what libel is, in
cludes only malicious and willtul
publications by which the libeled
party is brought into contempt, in
iured in his occupation or impeached
in his honesty.
Section 3. Makes the truth of the
charge as substantially published a
complete defence to the suit for dam
ages.
Section 4. Provides that any an
swer of defendant in court substan-
tiating the charge and declaring its
truth, shall not be held an aggrava-
ton Oft.
Section ). The filing of suit for
damages is held to place the plaintiff
upon record as good, law-abiding
citizen.
Section 6. Defines privileged mat
ter to be all matter published in
proper discharge of official duty; all
legislative or judicial proceedings au-
thOrized by law to the hearing of
which the public are admitted.
Section I. Declares that no malice
attaches to false publication, if the
matter were proper to publish if true,
and due diligence has been had to as
certain the truth, the publisher be-
lieving it to be fact.
Sec. S.-Compels the plaintiff to
prove the falsity of the charge and
that the defendant had probable
ground for disbelieving it.
Sec. 9.-Holds retractions a bar to
any libellOus proceedings, provided
due diligence has been used before
publication to ascertain the facts, and
the retraction is as full as the original
charge.
This is the bill which if it becomes
law will take the place of the pres
ent libel law, so oppressively felt by
! the press of this state. This bill seems
very generally to meet the require
ments of the case so far as the civil
aspects of the case are concerned at
least. 1t permits the publication OF
everything necessary to the protec-
ton of the public and relieves the
press from all fears of difficulty, loss
and danger arising from proper
criticism of public men and public
measures. 1t is a wise provision that
holds the publisher only responsible
for due diligence and relieves from
guilt upon proper retractiOn of errors
unwittingly committed after careful
endeavOr to ascertain the truth. 1t is
also a wise provision that puts q
mans character upon record in al
cases of libel instituted by him. II
gives the defendant the power OF
proving that the man had no charac,
ter to lose and so the impOssibility o.
libelling him. 1t cestainly is a step in
the right direction and a long way in
advance of the present legislation on
the subject. 1t appears to be very
substantially the same law as that OF
Michigan and which Governor Ross Sc
freely commended in his message.
