The amended il--l bass ahieh
has passed both branches Of
he Illinois Legislature reads a.
follows:
That in any action brought
for the publication of a libel in
any newsp paper in this stat
The plaintiff shall recover only
actual damages, iii shall ap
pear at the trial Of such action
that such publication was
made in good faith. and that its
faIsity was due to mistake or
uisapprehension of the facts,
aud that in the next regular is
she. of said paper after such
mistake or misrepresentation
was brought to the knowledge
Of the publisher or publishers
of such newspaper, whether
before or after suit brought, a
correction or retraction was
published in as conspicuous a
manner and place in said news
paper as was the libel.
This is substantially the
same provision which the lower
house of the Texas legislature
rejected at the recent session
from a desire to punish cons
cientions and courageous jour
nails of the state for critieising
the mistakes of themselves and
OF their party relatives. Intel
ligent readers will find in such
a provision nothing but fair
ness. Under the Texas rule of
tradition and custom which a
similar amendment was design
ed to rectify. and which a ma
.jority of the members of the
house indorsed, there has been
found no distinct law of libel,
as far as newspapers are con
cerned, apart from a deliberate
purpose to blaekmall the re-
sponsihle press of the state for
mingled greed and spite. 1t is
itself an atrocioGs libel on the
intelligence and civilization Of
the state, and is IN line with
other scandalous devices of the
demagogues who have stood in
the way of the general pros
perity Of the people, and have
not hesitated to use even their
official power for vicious and
pernicious party and personal
ends. For the fair repnte and
substantial welfare Of the state
there could not well be anyth
ing more atrociously libelous
than the indefinite perpetuation
of our so-called libel law.

A greater compliment could be paid
to any man than to have the people OF a
great state urging him to aspire TO that
high office. senator Allison II popular
in Iowa. That fact Ii attested by the
fact that his people have kept him In
public life for IS years. and that they
will again elect him TO the senate In
January next. But his popularity is
not confined to his own state On the
contrary. he has friends throughout
the entire country who are anxious to
support him for the presidency. He 10

CANADIAN STATESMEN.

How Iney ACT Whtl0 Attending ln8ir

1t is n mistake to think that the act
which led TO the confederation of tho
various provinces In 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in .he life OF the
Canadian people than that of consti-
tutional union. It carries with IL
meaning OF far deeper import--a union
OF hearts, whose offspring is oneness
of patriotic aim and purpose. OF
course II would be idle TO say that the
Canadian people are a unit upon all
questions Of vital interest TO the life
and growth OF the dominion. The geo.
graphical interests OF Canada are so
varied that there must necessarily DO
at times some friction and clashing OF
provincial needs aud ambitions This
is the case at Washington; this Is the
case, too, in so small confederation
as the cantons OF Switzerland

Canadian house Of commons is struck
