What's the matter had a libel suit?
That celebrated Michigan silver case has at
last been decided In favor of silver. 1t arose
about year ago from q difference OF opinion
between q gold man and n silver man, Balu-
wiz and Baker. Baldwin rendered Baker

mortgage for that amount on his farm, which
Baker refused to accept Baker took steps
at Cnce to foreclose the mortgage and Baldwin

Glad to SEQ this revision in former est-

we fear that ancient commercial bout between
Houston and Galveston Will degenerate l TO

Oh. no! Houston is perfectly calm ana un-

The idea Sf defeating Bailey as leader OF
the house Is now abandoned, says the Wash
ipgton correspondent of the News Thus tht
efforts Of the News. the New York Journai
and other of the expansionist brood will come
to npught. There has been a great deal OF
morse made by those who aimed to defea,

.indiscreet, tmid, unwise ana
with the possession of an ,ungovernable tenn

The railroads would better be a little more
careful In kicking the railroad commission

Tribune.
There's a whole heap of good hard sense
In that suggestion.
