THE New York Senate has passed q
bill declaring that 'any person who
willfully states, delivers or transmits
to newspaper ''for publication therein
any libelous statement concerning any
person or corporation, and thereby se-
cures the actual publication of the
same, is guilty OF a misdemeanor. !"
This, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
goes to the root OF the evil by fastening
the libel upon the guilty party rather
than upon the publishers who have been
imposed upon. With such libel laws
there would be fewer libel sits

THE FAIR GONE WHERE IT

contributes 60 the glory of the United
States. Yes; it is that even in money
matters, Cor its clearing house ex-
changes have grown to such magni.
tudc that even New York -" the
financial center of the world HAS
long cast anxious eyes to the city by
Lake Michigan.
At Chicago the Worlds Fair will
perhaps not he quite as great success
from the standpoint Of the artist as it
would have been if located at Ne"
York; but it will be much more SO
from = utilitarian point Of view, and
it will have for immediate location the
largest park in the world, bounded on
one side by one OF the most extensive
bodies @! fresh water in the world,
and situated in the very heart Of the
most enterprising. and progressive
city that the world has ever seen.
The Fair will doubtless not be Wis
tied by as many foreigners MS if it had
been located in New York City. But
such OF them rs do visit it will trav-
erse large portion Of the continent,
and thus obtain q much better opin-
ion of our resources and capabilities
than they could by visiting New York
City only.
Ii the railways do the right thing
by the people in the matter Of rates
there will be such a general outpour
ing to Chicago as will astonish the
world; and the result will be -four
times more beneficial to the country
than it could have been with the tai

The l)ryji'S own.

The defalca,ions of rogucs during
1889 in the United States, each of
whose stealings have equaled or ex-
ceeded the amount OF 100000, ag-
gregate fS,5G2,753, or Ell average Of
S329,813 each. The number of these
big rogues WAS only %. If to them
were ad led all the minor rogues, who
have stolen less than 100000 each,
the general aggregate would probably
be more than doubled, giving sum
equal to the total expense of the
Navy Department for the past year,
or fully half that Of the War Depart
ment.

JUST WHAT'S NEEDED.

Senator Jones has again emphasized
his championship Of the cause OF
silver by introducing IN the United
States Senate bill to authorize the
coinage of $4,500,OoO worth Of
silver bullion per month.
This is just what the country needs.
As repeatedly stated in the TINES.
the country is producing about s52'
100000 worth Of silver annually, OF
which sbou. 5000, 900 is consumed
in the arts. The remain ing $4,000
600 10 available for coinsgo. II 81,
100000 worth is coined monthly the
result must be a comparative scare
ity OF the metal and the desired en-
hance ment in price.
This would answer the purpose.
To do more would, as we have before
suggested, op'n the ports to an influx
of deb,s-d fo.eign silver coin aud
cheap bullion which would 500" make
matters even worse than they are now
But if we only consume our own pro
du,tion the result must be an Increase
OF value all over the world which will
create a home demand for all the sill
yer that each nation holds.
