The Supreme Court puts very diff
ferent phase upon the libel suit Of Bel
knap VS.. Ball from that which il were,
when It left the Kent circuit. The
TELEGRAM-HERALD did not sympathize
with the decision of the circuit Judge
and did not hesitate to say so. In an
editorial n our issue of November %,
1889, We said:
"If the authorities cited do sustain
the proposition that IAN editor of
newspaper, or any other citizen, has a
right u publish IN a newspaper any
allegation, true or false, with good or
malicious motives, II matters not which,
IN reference to the physical or mental
qualifications of n candidate for any
office IN the gift OF the people, then
we say that such authorities are a
shame and disgrace to the law books
of an enhghtenedination, and that any
editor who will SHE / himself under
them from the consequences OF his un-
principled falsehoodS ls still greater
shame and disgrace to the honorable
profession to which he belongs. The
best and noblest citizens of both parties
deem 1t one of the greatest curses of
our politics that candidates for Office
are villfied and abused, and many of
them absolutely refuse to run for
Office on that account. Then why
should the lars of decent people
sanction and protect that which de-
cency itself Tebukes2
eve can see the justice in permitting
the publication OF the truth, for that
enables the people 10 make fair choice
between candidates. but when the peO-
say, under the solemn sanction of law,
that lying, unprincipled editor may
deceive them and grossly lead them
astray IN the performance of one Of
their most sacred duties, then We say
that Il Is time that the people them
selves were taught grain of common
sense. But we can not believe that the
American people have sunk so low as
70 offer a premium for lying and de-
ception."
Upon the question of inviting citizens
to run for the peoples Offices and then
permitting them to be vilified with i'm
punity, the TELEGRAM-H HERALD said:
$50 the people are such fools as TO
ask decent citizens TO represent them
In Congress, which necessarily includes
prior candidacy for the Office, and then
not only viii not protect such citizens
from gross and vlllainous defamation.
bat even says 10 the unprncipled liar.
Go IN now and do your worst, we'll
protect YOU If the election OF public
officers proceeded upon the theory that
only the worst citizens were TO be
chosen for the office. then we could see
some consistency IN the peoples per-
hitting such systematic vilficatiOn. for
Il would be IN the nature OF Qualifics-
ton for office; but We submit that the
choice Of public officers proceeds upon
no such theory
The decision OF the Kent circuit
Judge has been reversed and the case
remsndsd for trial by jury The peo-
pie are 90 be congratulated on the
result, for the principles LAID down ty
the circuit Judge would be exceedingly
dangerous If carried out to their

~ remember Christmas l spent in
Mr.. Booths company many years ago."
said young theatrical manager in the
foyer. He had bought a summer resi-
dence at Cos Cob, Conn, the previous
summer, and invited me up TO play
Santa Claus and do the chimney act.
His property was fair sized little
promontory of land, bounded on one side
by the Connecticut river, on the other
side by Long Island Sound, and the
New York and New Haven tracks
formed the base line. If there is any one
road affected by tramps it is that same
New Haven road, and when l arrived,
two or three days before Christmas,
there was line of them waiting their
turn at the gate that reminded me of a
highly successful advance sale, one
tramp near the gato even Offering to sell
his advanced position for ten cents.
Booth was much worried about the dan
gerous looking fellows, and it struck me
that dog would be highly appropriate
as gift.
81 wired to a friend in New York, and
Siberian hound ever saw was waiting
at the little station for me. Booth was
tickled TO death, and we managed to
chain that dog just inside the main gate
near the lodge, and then we shook hands.
1t was an awful big dog, bigger than a
little donkey that arrived on the next
train with go-cart as present TO his
little daughter Edwina. Well, we fixed
up the presents that night. l dressed up
in fur rugs and traps as Santa Claus, and
had arranged TO drive the donkey into
the reception roam and distribute the
gifts from the we'll laden go-cart. The
dog was TO remain in the little shed we
had extemporized for him, but he didn't.
lie was there on business. and he attend
ed to it promptly. The chain broke like
a piece of twine and broke for the bal
cony, which [ just managed TO reach
from the cart OF course there was a
racket, and | got tito the window, and
by the time we had armed ourselves with
antique swords and a revolutionary mus
ket the noise had subsided sufficiently
for Us to venture forth. The dog was
just seen in the moonlight disappearing
over the stone wall, thousands of dollars
worth Of presents were scattered in the
deep snow. and donkey meat and fur
were lying an inch deep over the three
acres Of the Booth premises. The Sibe-
riaa bloodhound had torn the donkey TO
atoms Chicago Tribune.
