A Libel Law.

A good many endeavors have been made
in Massachusetts to have sS, libel laws
amended as TO be less of a hardship on
newspapers, which under existing statutes
are liable to heavy penalties and great an.
noyance when entirely innocent of any in.
tent TO libel The following is a copy OF
the libel law of Minnesota, which seems to
be fair all round, and there is an effort
making to secure something like it in Mas
sachusetts:
AN ACT TO REGULATE ACTIONS FOR
LIBEL.
BE IL enacted by the legislature of the state OF
Minnesota:
Section |. Before any suit shall be brought
for the publication of libel in any newspaper
in this state, the aggrieved party shall, at
least three C3) days before filing or serving the
complaint I'm such suit, serve notice on the
publisher or publishers of said newspaper al
their principal Office of publication; specifying
the statements in the said articles which he or
they allege TO be false or defamatory. IL 1t
shall appear, on the trial Of said action. that
the said article was published in good faith,
that its falsity was due to mistake or miSap-
prehension Of the facts and that full and
fair retraction of any statement therein
alleged to be erroneous was published I'm the
regular issue OF Such newspaper. or Nllnln
three CD days after such mistake or misappre-
hension was brought TO the knowledge OF such
publisher or publishers, in as conspicuous n
place and type in such newspaper as was the
article complained of as libellous, then the
plaintiff in such case shall recover only
actual damages. Provided however, that the
provisions of this act shall not apply 10 the case
of any libel against any candidate for n pub
lie office In this state. unless tho retraction Of
the charge Is made editorially in n conspicuous
manner at least three Cjj days before the cleo
ton.
Sec 9. The words "actual damages in the
foregoing section shall be construed 20 include
all damages that the plaintiff may show he
has suffered in respect 10 his property, busi-
ness. trade profession or occupation, and no
other damages whatever.
Sec. B. This act shall take effect and be In
force from and after its passage.
Approved March I'd. 1887.

From an occasional correspondent
Quite crowd of people assembled last
Saturday 20 witness ball game between
the Brldport Athletes and Addison Gil
ants. But spectators and Athletes were
alike surprised to find the Giants assisted
by the best of Port Henry and Westport
experts. The agreement had been-as
our men were beginners this year-that
they should have the Shorehom battery
and play the Giants home nine. Now
what ails the Giants? A deficient memo
~ perhaps. At least the. Athletes couldn't
believe it a breach of honor and so played
them good spirited game, beng ahead
up to the sixth inning and only Welding
the bat and ball after their pitcher threw
his shoulder out. At the close of the
contest it stood 10 to in the Giants fa-
vUr. After the game both clubs were
served with bOuntful refreshments pro-
vided by the Athletes. Next Saturday
the Athletes Will play the Giants in West
Addison.
