One of the most noted physicians and
surgeons is DIR. Job Sweet. of New Bed
ford, Mass. He makes the public state
ment that he has often recommended the
use of DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy to his patients who have
bsen suffering from nervous troubles and
he has learned that in a large number oil
these cases 1t has proven ef1caoious.
DIR. Willard II. Morse, r. B. s. &c., oil
Westfield, N. j., the great expert on
medicines, says of this grand discovery Of
DIR. Greene
The true remedy for nervous diseases
Ia DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t acts by affecting the organs
of nutrition, and entering into the for
nation Of new nerve tissue, which gener.
ates nerve force. This means the max.
ing of new nerves.
The well-known DIR. Emil Neumer, SUI
perintending physician of the N. y.
Lodge and Association Hospital says
"We are using DR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy at this hospital
for our patients with good SUCCESS -
DR.. B. D. Bickford, of Woloott, VT,

A Petition of the Boston Daily News
paper Association and others for legisla-
tion to prevent speculative and ground
less suits for libel has been received by
the Massachusetts Senate. The petition
ers, practically all the newspapers of
Massachusetts,, represent that thu laws of
the State in relation to suits for libel,
and the rulings of the courts in relation
thereto, are unjust and oppressive and
they pray for legislation that will tend
to prevent speculative and groundless
suits, without in any particular enlarg-
ing the freedom of the press. The bill
accompanying the petition provides that
the person aggrieved shall first of all,
by himself or attorney, demand retrao-
ton, which shall be given as much prom
inence as the alleged libel was. If with
in three days, or in the case of weekly
OF semiweekly in the next issue, this
retraction is published as above, the de-
PENDANT may introduce evidence of such
retraction. and that the alleged libel was
published in good faith, etc. Unless the
plaintiff prove malice. damages shall BIZ

actually have sustained. The bill pro-
vides further that the defendant may
plead, in mitigation of damages, that the
plaintiff has already brought actions for
the libel, or has secured damages, or has
received or agreed to receive compensa-
ton. Where several actions gre pending
for substantially the same libel, in the
same or different counties, any justice
may, in his discretion, issue an order
consolidating the actions that they may
be tried together. If the plaintiff obtains
Judgment, the court may make such an
order as it sees fit for the apportionment
of COSTS between the defendants. The bill
seems to be just one, not restricting at
all the rights of the Individual or afford
ing the newspapers any undue lati-
tude. There is no good reason why the
aggrieved person should recover any more
than the actual damage sustained by
him, from any publication, unless it is ma
licious, and then punitive damages may
be admissible. And in arriving at the
damages retraction of the publication,
II one has been made ought to be taken
into account If part of the damages
that might have been accrued has been
averted by a retraotion, that much ought
to be deducted

Justice Mayham, of the Supreme Court
OF New York has decided against any
further stay of proceeding in the case of
Bat' Shea, and Shea will die in the

Que McGough, who was in the peniten.
'iary for killing Ross brother in the

which he affirmed that he and not Shea
killed William Ross. At the time the
confession appeared it was gen.
orally regarded as lie cooked
up FOR the purpose Of saving Shea. Gov.
Morton, however, granted respite on the
strength of 1t, and Shea's counsel ap.
pealed to the courts for new trial. The

The Republican voters of Ward ought
to congratulate themselves that Alder
man Thompson has consented to stand
capable members of the present board,
always having the courage to speak and
vote for what he believes to be right and
for the best interest of the city. 1t has
been understood that neither Mr.. Nicker-
son nor Mr.. Kent, both of them worthy
men, who have been tavorably mentioned
to succeed Me-. Thompson, would oppose
his nomination if he decided to be a
candidate. We presume therefore that
the only candidate who will oppose Mr..
Thompson is Mr.. Edgar E. Rounds.

According to correspondent of the
New York Post the President has been
untirinR in his efforts to make the recent
loan success. He has sat up late each
night writing autograph letters to such
of his friends in different parts of the
country as could be induced to take, hold
and work for the success of the loan. The
correspondent affirms that it is beyond
question that the generous response has
been due in no small measure to the Pres
ident's labors and those of Secretary
Carlisle. Nevertheless there is abundant
room for suspicion that had Congress
not manifested a very strong preference
for popular loan this loan, like the last
one, would have been disposed of to a
syndicate. Still it is creditable to the
President and the Secretary that after
they were practically forced to adopt the
popular loan they did not sulk, but set
to work to make it success
