a battle-ground. He does not insist upon
fighting In the South, and Is willing to
GO anywhere that a good-sized purse Is
offered am now certain that the fight
will take place. One reason for SO be-

on him to prove the truth of the charge in
order to warrant a verdict in his favor.
The burden of the proof in this respect
rested upon him. The most that
can be claimed for the evidence is that it
goes in mitigation of damages because it
furnished reasonable grounds for belief
in the truth of the charge. But belief
in good faith that plaintiff was guilty of
the crime attributed to him will not sup
port a plea of Justification; it can only be
considered in mitigation of damages.
Neither can the verdict for defendant be
supported by evidence introduced of the
plaintiffs general bad reputation for
| honesty and integrity"
In closing, the court adds that defend
ant would have made more out of the case
if the judgment had been tor Kelly for q
nominal sum. Had counsel for defend
ant asked the jury for verdict against
him for nominal damages, instead of a
verdict in his favor, the jury would un-
doubtedly have complied with his re-
quest, and the verdict could have been up
held. The plaintiff. if it pleases him, has
the right to prosecute such an action as
this TO recover nominal damages, which
are probably all that he can recover, in
order that the verdict may establish the
fact that he is not guilty of the crime
charged against him. ."-San Francisco

THE Kern County Echo begs the State
Road Convention of the oath inst. not to
overlook the dry road problem. In Cali
fornia most farm teaming is done in the
dry season and the road is therefore apt
to be broken into ruts. In the East road
building is conducted with the knowl-
edge that there will be frequent rains to
keep it packed. So that in California
road building must be considered from a
dry weather standpoint, and the Echo
therefore asks if gravel or macadam or
either will meet the need. There is but
one response to this. but one solution TO
the problem-sprinkle the roadways. No
matter where or of what road is built,
except it is of stone blocks, it must be
wet down to preserve its pack. In every
respect the road fitted for an Eastern
State is equally adapted to conditions in
California. In each case the road, to pre-
serve its wearing quality. must be wet
down, if not by rains, then by artificial
means. The State Convention need spend
very little time in solving the Kern
County problem = the key to it is

down in Central America they have a

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The Los Angeles Road Convention has
voted in favor of the issue of S750, 900 in
bonds, maturing either in twenty or forty
years, carrying at most five per cent. in
terest, for the purpose of building sys-
tenn of trunk roads radiating throughout
the county from the city of Los Angeles,
the system to be approved by competent
engineers, and built upon plans and spe-
ciications to be determined by them to
secure the best and most durable roads.
1t developed at the convention that in
the last ten years Los Angeles has ex-
pended money equal in amount to the
sum above stated. as the Herald puts it,
in tinkering with roads. and we have no high
ways TO show for it worthy of the name. If
with a similar fund TO draw from as the work
progresses, we can in the next few years give
our county system of first-elass and durable
roads, we shall subSerye the interests of the
people in every way. The present road taxes
viii take care of the debt. and the growth OF
the material interests of The county which
viii be greatly accelerated by good highways
will demonstrate the wisdom and economy Of
the movement inaugurated by this conven-
tion.
Let US see how that proves itself-S750,-
900 in ten years was $4,000 year spent
with no results worthy the name. That,
then, was 500, 900 thrown away; but to be
charitable, let US assume that only $3.50,
600 of the sum was souandered. The lat
ter expended ten years ago in Los An
geles County in good permanent roads
would have given its people at least-for
material is cheap and plentiful there-163
miles of trunk roads. The interest and
sinking fund tax for the debt would have
been exactly SIS. 900 year for the first
five years, leaving 100000 year for main
tenance and emergencies on the basis of
the S75, 900 used under the old system.
The next five years, on q twenty-year
bond basis. the debt would be but S4S7,-
500. and the sum to be raised annually in
that period for interest and sinking fund
would be S4S, $50, leaving the people S26,-
$50 better off each year than under the
$4,000 scheme of the past ten years.
And so it would go on until the four
fye-year periods expired. As for lateral
roads and extension of the trunk lines,
all these could have been trusted to the
enhancement of values, the natural rise
of the assessment roll and the augmented
prosperity OF the county. So that the

THE SAMOAN SITUATION.

We do not believe that Mr.. Bayard has
been instructed to ask leave for the
United States to withdraw from the Sa-
moan treaty compact signed at Berlin.
But we shall not be surprised at all if the
matter comes to that ending. bad as it
will be. The United States has tried
with poor success to serve the best inter
ests of the Samoans. If it could have
had sole management, no difficulty would
have been experienced, but the tripartite
scheme is a failure.
rated the Samoans have been restive. the
three powers inharmonious, the native
chiefs jealous and warlike, and the ad-
ministration of the government extrava-
CANT and unsatisfactory. But all this is
not saying that we should withdraw and
leave Samoa to its fate. On the contrary,
the scheme to turn control over to New
Zealand is bad; it is precisely what Eng
land wants and ought to be just what we
SAOOA0 OppOSO'
Were Germany out of the triple ar
rangement, probably England and the
United States could manage to preserve
peace and conserve prosperity in Samoa.
Germany, however, with her large busi-
ness interests and aggressive vigor, does
not propose to be held in check in her
ambition to dominate in the islands. It
may. therefore, be pretty surely counted
upon that the New Zealand proposition
will fall through. and that some new plan
for the government of the islands will be
evolved.
as before said, in the meantime the
Administration at Washington may con-
clude to withdraw the United States from
the Berlin treaty. If it does, it will make
very serious mistake. We need some
foothold in the South Pacific. We have
it now in Samoa, and under no circum-
stances should we give it up. We should
prove just as good ''stayer" as either
England or Germany.

The outlook is very unpromising for
settlement of the coal strike through
the conference of operators and miners at
Cleveland. The situation is more
strained now than al any time. and it
would seem that outside influences must
intervene to bring about arbitration be-
fore the coal famine can be ended. The
commercial and consuming public have a
profound interest in this affair. and are
taking more punishment than the opera
tors or miners. Another large section ofthe
people is also suffering because of the
strike, the skilled workers who were en-
ployed in factories that have closed down
because of the fuel famine The situa-
ton would seem to now justify the
friendly interference of business men
between the quarreling factions. 1t
certainly does seem that the demands of
the miners for the old schedule is not un-
reasonable. The method chosen and the
time to enforce it, however, are both to
be condemned. But the strike is on, and
it is probable that consumers will gladly
accede TO advances which at best will be
slight, rather than have the present dis
tress continue and become worse, as it
must the older it grows.
