PROPOSED LIBEL LAW.

A bill relating to suits for libel was
killed Thursday on technicahty by the
lower house OF the Massachusetts,
Legislature. 1t had passed the upper
house of that body by unanimous vote
and should have passed the lower,
since il is measure OF
simple Justice. 1t is not extreme; it
asks for no privileges for any class Of
people that are not in accordance with
the general policy; it gives those who
have made innocent mistakes that have
done injustice to individuals an oppor-
nnity TO retract the same and to make
amends without the harsh penalty OF
suit at law. AS between individuals this
would be accorded in reason and under
a sense Of fairness. The true object OF
law is 10 accomplish such an end, and
to so no further, except, perhaps, to
make men more careful.
In the case of the newspaper press,
there is ample Indictment 10 caution al
ready. Newspapers not only do not
recklessly do wrong in this respect;
there is nothing more Notifying to
them and more regretted in the course
Of their business than to find they have
been betrayed into such action. They
are, therefore. as constantly on their
guard hem as any law can make them.
The libel laws as they. exist are objec-
tiOnable because they are made the
agents of personal vindictiveness or of
schemes to extort money. This the
spirit Of their enactment never intend
ed. The newspapers ask to be protect
ed from such risks.
The measure, which ought to be the
law Of all the States, is precisely
similar to the one introduc-
ed at the last session OF the Legislature
of this State, but which was blocked by
a mass of other undigested legislation.
II is a measure of simple justice to news
paper publishers, TO protect them, as
other citizens are protected, from mali
cious persecution and blackmail; not to
give them more license, but to insure
them simple, evenhanded justice in the
pursuance OF their duty as purveyors
Of the news. It is not less a protection
to the newspaper reading public than to
the newspapers.

Mayor SutrO Declares California OPP
poses the Funding Bill.
SAN Francisco, March 13-Mayor SUIT
70 said today in regard to the Pacific
funding bill aud Mr.. Huntington's re-
marks yesterday:
"Of the 100000 persons in California
it may safely be said that 100000 are
opposed to the funding bill. The 1O0.-
600 who favor the scheme are bankers
who hold the bonds of the
company and people under
the control of the company. 1t is
outrageous that Huntington should have
the effrontery to make such statements
to congressional committee. 1t will
be the greatest calamity that ever befell
q state if Huntington succeeds in hood
winking congress to pass the bill. The
funding scheme proposed by Senator
Morgan will be fairly acce pta ble."

at Roulette,

Colorado Springs Gambler Wins $4,000
Roulette.
CRIPPLE CREEK, March 13.-There
was some high playing in Nolon's pri-
vate club rooms in this city this morn
ing.
A wealthy Colorado Springs man
walked in at 10 o'clock and asked for the
limit on the roulette wheel. When told
there was none he began playing 500
on the colors. After losing $500 he
raised his bets to $500 and began to win .
In a few minutes he was betting $1,000
on the roll and winning heavily. At the
end of an hour he had bought for the
bystanders all the wines the house con-
tanned aud quit playing $16,60O ahead.
Towards the last of the playing $4,000
was staked on the chance of the ball fall
ing red or black.
When he was through playing John
Nolon, the proprietor, stacked up fresh
bank roll of so, 900 and invited him to
come after it, but the Colorado Springs
man knew when he had enough gam
bling for one day.

PEOPLE WANT PUBLICITY.
The Trial of Gen. Baratieri to BE a Public

One.
ROME, March 13.-Orders have been
sent from the war office to Massowah
that the report of Generals Baldissera
and Baratieri on the defeat of the Ital-
ions at Adowa is to be supplemented by
the forwarding to this city of a number
of important witnesses of the engage
ment.
1t was at first proposed to courtmartial
General Baratieri at Massowah; in fact
that plan has not been entirely abandoned,
but there were SO many utterances of
disapproval in the press when the plan
was outlined that it is understood that
Gen. Ricotti has decided to have the un-
fortunate officer tried in public in this
city.
There is a strong movement, however,
among certain military men and others
to have the trial conducted in secret, as
it is feared that revelations may be made
which will not tend to strengthen the
case of Italy before the world. But the
general public demands publicity in the
matter, and it is believed that the war
office authorities will have 10 bow to the
popular will.
