A Common Sense DeciSIon,

Judge Richter of the civil district court
% New Orleans decided a libel case
against the Picayune of that city last
Tuesday that is of considerable interest
to the public and to newspapers. The
Picayune published at different times two
dispatches that reflected injuriously upon
a citizen Of that city. One was from Mo
bile to the chief of police of New Or
leans, stating that the citizen in question
was bringing girls to New Orleans for an
immoral purpose. The other dispatch was
from Texas, and asserted that requisition
papers had been taken out in that state
for the same citizen, who was wanted in
Texas for an offense Of some sort or other.
The man against whom the dispatches
were directed brought suit against the
Picayune for libel At the trial 1t ap-
peared that he was an honest straight
forward man, and that the information
contained in the dispatches was false.
1t also appeared that dispatches from Mo-
bile had been received by the New Or
leans chief of police, and that requisi-
tion papers had been taken out in Texas
and received by the louisiana authori-
ties
The judge held that the Picayune was
guilty Of no fault, that 1t had shown no
malice. and. therefore, was not guilty of
libelling the plaintiff. The paper. the
Judge said, could not be held responsible
for the false information which the dis
patches contained. Notwithstanding the
fact that the plaintiff had been injured by
its publication. The paper did not vouch
for the truth of the statement in the dis
patches. 1t stated that such dispatches
had been received. and that was true
The decision is a sound one. and shows
that Judge Richter has a proper appre-
citation of the duties, responsibilities and
difficulties of journalism.

The NIcarneun Amir.

The republican papers that were so GER
tain that England had taken possession
Of Corinto for the purpose OF grabbing
Nicaragua must be very much disappoini-
ell by the settlement Of the trouble be-
tween England md Nicaragua The set
Element deprives them Of a great deal OF
ammunition with which to make war on
the administration. and puts them IN
rather ridiculous light before the coun-
try. There has never been any reason
for thinking that the administration was
not properly caring for the interests OF
this country. It knew exactly how far
this government had a right to 90 in
showing its sympathy FOR Nicaragua and
what it should do to maintain the policy
Of this country in respect TO the South
American states. At no time was it in
luenced by the jingo talk of its politi-
cal enemies. and at no time has there
been a doubt that the American people
believed IT would do what was proper and
right.
If the Monroe doctrine was what those
lingo papers declare 1t is this country
would have its hands more than fun in
unfolding it. The administration had
fun understanding Of the purpose Of the
English government before England
took possession of Corinto, and that I'M
Outstanding upheld the Monroe doctrine
in its entirety. The Cleveland admins
tration is American to the backbone, and
there need be no reason to fear it will
hesitate TO do whatever is necessary to
be done to protect American honor and
enforce American policies.

win They Force Him out.

A matter of great interest in New York
is the question whether the Grand Army
of the Republic people will succeed in
forcing Col. Warning out of his position of
street commissioner of that city because
he called them a lot of pension buns"
1t is admitted that Col Warning is a very
competent official. No fault is found with
him in his official capacity, and the people
of New York would like to have him re-
tanned.
1t would be curious state of affairs
if it should turn out that the Grand Army
of the Republic has political influence
enough in New York city to force out of
Office a man who expressed an uncompli-
mentary opinion of it. Such an out
come of the affair would go far to con-
firm the impression that the Grand Army
interests itself, as an organization. alto
gether too much IN politics.
In the minds of some, perhaps, 1t would
be satisfactory evidence that the organi-
cation is largely responsible for the enor-
nous pension burden under which the
country is now struggling.
However unjustifable the charge that
Col waring made against the Grand Army
may be, his dismissal through its instru-
mentality would injure it. in public esti-
nation, much more than it would him.

"Constitutionar' Money.

From the Philadelphia Record Dem)
EX-Congressman Bryan of Nebraska
talks glibly of the gold and silver coin
age of the constitution" With such
phrases as this the demagogues of CHEAP
money seek to beguile the unwary and
the ignorant. What clause of the consti-
tuition can be perverted or stretched so
dollars at the preposterous ratio of l6
to with gold? But it is impossible to
bring the champions of free silver within
rlhe range of the truth when advocating
their eXtravagant monetary theories.
The fact that they haeitually resort to
the most reckless assertions ought to
put the most confding proselytes to cheap
money on their guard. The constitution
of the United States has often been wan
tcnly abused, but ii has never been so
grossly belittled as when cited in favor
of the mischieYous humbug of free silver
coinage.

While the queen has been at Cfniez. she

named JOcko. The animal has a history
some years ago. when the queen was at
