The Prospects Good for q Business Above
the Average in the Immediate Future.
INDIANAPOLIS. July %.
Although there was no great stir in the
street to-day there was general express
sion of confidence in the condition of trade,
and good volume of business Is expected
to come this way in the near future. In
dry goods the week opened up quietly.
with moderate amount of sales and prices
steady. In groceries considerable was be-
ing done in the filling of orders, though
travelling men report everybody in the
country busy with harvesting crops, and
not having time to spare to 60 into town
for other than absolute necessaries. The
crops everywhere are reported good. how
ever, and this portends good business as
soon as the rush of farm work is over.
Sugars. as heretofore announced. went off
on yeilows The market is firm at the re- re-
duction. The coffee market is very strong.
despite the apparent large stocks. Actual
handlers of coffee say there was no excuse,
outside of the gambling operations of the
produce there is nothing new. Butter is
abundant: with no good outlet for the &C
cumulated stock, yet prices are steady. In
fruits and vegetables there was stiffening
in prices to-day, owing to light receipts.
GRAIN.
There Is some Improvement in receipts of
wheat, yet they are not up to what should be ex-
pected at this season. There was a good de-
mand for spot stuff from millers, to-day, but fut-
ures were neglected. Corn is still IN good re-
quest from both shippers and manufacturers.
Oats are quiet, with fair demand for white,
while mixed grades are neglected. We quote:
wheat-New No. 2 red, soc; No. red, IL 075c;
July, 76c.
white, one color, 3Sc; two color, 37lec; No. 2
mixed, 35lec; No. 3 mixed 35c; No. 2 yellow,

nishing it with the current news. Inc
rewspaper owes to the public great duty
that of printing the news-which II not
performed faithfully will resultin the loss
of its circulation and standing. a news
paper that will not retract when IL mas

mitted to exist, but newspaper Ihal
cowardly makes retracton Wheh IL leeis
that it has done its duty in exposing a man
who is engaged in dangerous pracuces
should be blotted out.
In charging the jury, Judge lSGRAHA@
said. seThe Importance of the newspaper
in the detection and prevention OF crime
cannot be overestimated. The schemes tc
enable men to obtain dishonesty the say
ings of a lifetime are numerous, and II Is
to the newspaper almost entirely that We
must look for the detection of these crimes
If. in this case, the defendant can satisfy
the jury that the published story is true
substantially, he has committed no onehs'
and is entitled to verdict"
The Jury was not long in finding a yer
dict for the defendant, together with al
allowance of 500 for attorneys fees.
The verdict was proper one, and shoul'
stand as "a precedent for other juries in lbe
suits. If a newspaper is to be mulcted 10
publishing the current news; if it can b
fined for exposing crime and telling OF tn
wrong-doing of the evil and immoral men
beers of a community, it will be deprived q
one wide section of it's field of usefulness
and degenerate into thing without value
1t will die, for there will be no real occaslo
for it to live The courts should proteC
members of the public from the willful a.
saults of the press, and punish where
publication is the result of malice; but tn
, protection of the law is due to newspapt
, which does not go outside its legitimat
sphere, which is to give the news and e!
pose the swindlers and wrong-doers.

THE JUDGE AND THE JURY.

The last words of the judge to the jury IN
the trial of HOWARD SPENCER were gener-
ally denounced at the time of their utter
ance. During the week which has elapsed
since the verdict, this opinion, far from
being abandoned, has become more general
and more fixed Upon careful review OF
the case. we are unable to ind any justin
cation for the extreme utterances OF the
trial Judge, which were, in effect, that dur
ing a long experience at the bar he had
never seen more pronounced case OF muir
der than the one before the court.
A review of the evidence shows, to our
Judgment, a number of facts, either oil
which. alone. demonstrates the judicial re-
buke to have been as ill-considered as 1t was
unjust In an experience of over twenty
wears. the learned Judge must have. seen
cases of homicide in courts Of law, where
the murderer was shown TO have stricken
down his victim wholly without excuse,
perhaps during the commission of felony
! He must have been present during trials
where numbers of eye-witnesses were
brought forward to prove the crime.
He must have seen cases, where the de
tense of insanity was not interposed, or II
made. was too artificial for credence. He
must have had experience in cases where
self-defense was not attempted to bt
proven: where the culprit became fugi
tive from Justice, and where his characte
was atrocious.
Were similar facts features Of the case o
HOWARD SPENCER. On the contrary, II HI
committed the offense, he did it upon tn
first SIGHT of the man who had wrough
upon him 4 permanent injury, which hat
well nigh cost him his life.
No witness testified to having seen hin
commit the offense; in short, it was Ia
from being proven beyond reasonabl

land which will always remain without
volne unless water can be brought to 1t.
In ITtah where there are no plains and the
valleys are narrow, only small proportion
of the land is under cultivation and produc-
tive. Not more than one-third OF the SAT-
Lake valley is cultivated. That which is
productive is worth all the way from
SIS to $1,000 an acre, according
to location. It will not be denied
that the land in this valley above the pre-
sent irrigatlnn line is just as rich as that
below. or that the former, with water,
would be as desirable for farms and gar
dens. What is true of this valley, is true
of hundreds of others in these mountains,
only the Salt Lake valley is one OF the pest
watered in all this region. But these val
leys are as nothing compared with the
broad plains of Dakota, Colorado, Texas
and Arizona, which are useful now only &c
hold the better country together.
There is no lack Of water. Enough
moisture falls in the mountains
embraced within and about the
arid region to irrigate ten times as mucf
land as can ever be cultivated. All that Il

JUDGE CARLTON. late chairman q the
Utah commission, takes his departure this
morning. He will return to his home at
Terre Haute, Indiana, and resume the prac-
tice of the law. 1t is something to be proud
of for a man to hold a federal office IN TINS
territory seven years, and retire with the
respect of the good people of all factions.
We are confident that Judge CARLTON does
this. His career has been such as to com
mand the esteem of the best element IN the
community, for he has shown that ne de
sired to perform his duties in a spirit OF
fairness and justice. He has not been an
enemy to Utah, which we regret to confess
cannot be said of some of those with federal
commissions in their pockets. The best
wishes of the people of this territory fol
the welfare and happiness OF Judge CARL
TON will follow him, and thememOry Of him
in this territory will be Of the p!easantest

NEWS NOT A LIBEL.

An interesting and important libel case
was tried and decided in New York, last
week. by Judge ISGRAHAM and a jury. It
was interesting and important from the
fact that both the Judge and the jury held
that the printing of the news, whatever
might be the effect of the publication, is
not libelous, provided there is no malice in
the printing. Three years ago the New
York World, in its New Jersey edition,
printed a communication involving one
CHARLES w. HODGES in the purchase OF a
saloon by one MoNCToN. 1t was set forth
in the letter that MoNCToN had written to
a friend that he had been deceived tby
HODGES, and had lost 5000, the savings of a
lifetime. HODGES brought suit for ibel
against the World, based on this publica
tion. and it was this suit which was tried
last week. On the trial the defense was
permitted to show the facts of the saloon
nurcbase. the behavior of HEDGES, MoNC
TONS frequent abuse of him for swindling
together with testimony showing the bat
character of the plaintiff. HODGES, o.
course. denied that he swindled MoNcToN
gave himself first-class character, ant
claimed to have been greatly libeled.
In his argument before the jury, Colone
DE LANcEY NIcoLL, for the World
said there was not the slightes'
pretense of malice. There was no purpos'
in publishing the letter, except the duty o
a corresI cndent to his newspaper in fur

Born THE explanations given in the New
York telegram of why JAMES GORDON Ben
NETT has gone to Africa are probable. One
is that he made heavy wager WITH an
English army officer that he could go TO
Khartoum and depart alive. The other is
that having learned that General GORDON
is vet alive, being held by the Mahdi for a
heavy ransom, Bennett has gone to the
rescue. If either of these explanations IS
correct there is whole nation on this side
of the Atlantic ready to gamble, almost to
a man. that JAMES GORDON Bennett will
succeed in the undertaking. He will sue
coed and give the credit to the enterprise,
energy and pluck OF American journalism
in general and the New York Herald in par
ticular. The man who can do what BEN
NETT has done will not fail to visit hhar-
toum if he sets out TO call on the Mahdi, OF
to rescue the gallant GORDON if the latter

is possible with man seems to be impos
sible with the proprietor Of the great news

THE IRRIGATION COMMITTEE.

Our people should arrange to receive the
Senate committee to investigate the ques-
ton of the irrigation and reclamation OF
arid lands. We should be prepared to meet
the committee. which will be here next
August. and to give it information bearing
on the subject the gentlemen are to inquire
into.
One of the most important measures
adopted by the late Congress was that
providing for this investigation, and no pub
lie money will be more proftably ex-
pended. The inquiry is to extend
over Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah
Nevada, California, Oregon, Texas, Color
ado and Wyoming, embracing all that scope
of country known as the arid region. The
objects are to Ascertain first, if it is pos
sible to bring any considerable tracts Of
this country under cultivation. This must
be learned from surveys, which will dem
onstrate the feasibility of storing water
and leading it on to the uplands and dry
benches which lie above the streams; anC

economic point of view, of undertaking
the work, the cost of the enterprise anC
the value of the and being taken into &C

Gentlemen who are somewhat familia
with the arid region by reason of their con
nection with the national geological sur
vey, do not hesitate to say that the schem
is not only practicable, but that the invest
ment will prove wonderfully remunera

water can be stored, to be drawn off as
shall be required for irrigation. They sa,
that these reservoirs can be constructed
