For a couple of weeks past the Ex press has given considerable attention to certain proceedings in cour Those proceedings, are now at an end and the' reader will from this tlm© «n be given a more general assortment of news.
Indianapolis Journal: Tbe Baur libel suit against the Terre Haute Ex press, damages being laid at $25,000, resulted in a verdict for plaintiff
$100. Libel suits against repututable newspapers—and no others are ever brought—are about the poorest investments that can be made, outside of Chicago margins.
It will be remembered that some months ago the Express published an interview with an "old trapper" who predicted an open, mild winter, basing his belief on numerous facts, among them that "the squirrels were not laying in much store of nuts," that "the muskrats had not dug deep," because "the corn shucks were thin." The interview was copied by the newspapers from one end of the country to the other. It is remembered against the "old trapper," and calls are beingmade for his heart's blood. We desire announce that the old trapper was found frozen stiff in death last Saturday morning, .a most just retribution
The year 1S84 is starting in with record of disasters that bids fair to parallel 1883. It will be remembered that the inaugurating casualty.of last year was the Newhall house fire at Mil waukee. The hortor at Belleville Saturday night does not furnish an equal in the number of lives lost, but the appalling nature of the loss of life in the convent is without precedent. Tbe terrible accident on the railroad in Canada, the burning to death of four prisoners in the jail at Jerseyville Sunday night, and the ruinous loss finan daily by other fires, counting up into the millions already this month, are all ^calculated to cause the query in every mind, if this fatality is to continue through another year.
The remarkable depreciation in the value of railroad stocks, during the past two years, is attracting considerable attention, and among those that have declined to a large extent are some of the best dividend paying companies in the country. ANew York dispatch, summarizing the decline in general, says: "The nominal value of all railroad stocks in the country is about three times that of the companies quoted, and the decline in value since July, 1881, has been probably not less than $1,000,000. In addition, these great corporations have a still larger amount of bonds outstanding, though the decline in these has not been, on the whole, as greatr If it has been less than half as great—and this iB apparently a safe estimate, judging from such securities as are quoted—the apparent loss in the valuation of securities within two years and a half has been over $1,500,000,000. The securities represent, too, an enormous, earning power, and the railroad system is even now earning more than it has ever earned before."
The following is from the Gazette's report of Judge McNutt's speech: The evil of small verdicts in cases of this kind is well illustrated in what not long since happened in this very community in a slander suit. A man had slandered his neighbor. He pleaded not his as this defendant has, that his neighbor was guilty, but in-mitigation. He begged and pleaded with the jury that he had uttered the slander In good faith, believing it was true at the time, but had afterwards learned it wasn't true and so the Jury, out of compassion to him and his family, returned a verdict in a nominal sum. He walked to that desk, paid the clerk the small sum, took a receipt therefor, walked down Main street waving It as ft Comanche might h*ve waved the bloody scalp of his victim proclaiming that that was the price of the plaintiff's character, that he owned it, that he had paid for it and that there was the receipt. Gentlemen, you will save this community, I am sure, from any such spectacle, and from that more revolting and bloody one which will inevitably follow that sort of verdict in this sort of case.
The Italics above are our own and are used to call attention to the fact that in the speech as delivered, tbe words "one hundred dollars" were used. Put by the time the Gazette published
the fe.peech the jnry had brought in a
verdi't
for "oiia hundred dollars" in
this pft rticular case. .t

thi." community know that
the Express scrupulously kept its promise made .the day the suit was brought, to allow the case to be tried in the court? on its .merits. Mr. Davis, one of the counsel foK the plaintiff, in his opening statement announced it would be proved that the Express had shown malice by publishing attacks on the counsel for thtf .plaintiff. But this was not done, because, w'e believfi,. the fact would have thus Jjeen shown that the counsel for the plAintiff never received any attention fr^m tbe Express until they joined in the Joab scheme to have the proprietor of fclie Express convicted of criminal libel, #n undertaking that came to a most, disastrous ending. Michael Moses Joab in return for tbe support given him On that occasion was a source of assistetnee to the counsel for the defense in the recent suit.• So it will be seen that the
Express has treated the plaintiff, his attorneys and their heeler* in a very decent manner, considering all the provocation.
The spectators who filled the court room during the trial saw for themselves how eagerly the court ruled out all offers of the Express to prove facts in the case liow the plaintiff was hedged about with the technicalities of the law as a horse thief tries to escape the penitentiary by proving an alibi and yet, which, thus saved from the force of evidence that might be introduced against him, he only receives nominal damages on the piost infamous charge that can be brought against a man, The verdict could be appealed from and the supreme court would reverse it on many of the julings of the judge who presided at thfl trial. But the Express realizes that Jhe public does not consider the verdict as Against u«a14

Many pesons have expressed great surprise at the course of the Gazette in this case. "When all the facts are known there is no occasion for surprise. We ask any one with a mind capable of judging, to read the following editorial which appeared in the Gazette, Saturday, and then deterbrine how much of it was written in malice and meanness, and how much of it is fair newspaper comment on a public matter:
Avery large portion of the Gazette Is surrendered to-day to the proceedings In the libel suit brought by Charles Baur against the Express. The speech of Judge McNutt Will be found almost in Its entirety. It Is a masterly presentation of the case of the plaintiff, and must vindicate the character of that injured individual In the eyes of this community. It Is a matter of regret that the limits of tlie paper are unsufflclent also to print the eloquent speech of Senator Voorhees. In the finding of the jury for the plaintiff one fact stands out prominent. By the pleading the question was reduced to the simple one whether or notMr. Baur was, as was printed, and as was sought to be proven, guilty of the vile charge brought against him. On that point the decision of the Jury is explicit and emphatic. It says, as every man who has taken pains to investigate the case for himself has long since decided, that he is entirely guiltless. As a vindication of the character of a young man who has always borne a pure and blameless reputation It must be a source of pride to all good oltlsens. For this purpose the verdict of 8100 is as emphatic as If If it were for 925,000.
It is rumored a portion of the Jury desired a much larger verdict, but Senator Voorhees In his closing argument urged with great force the idea that, the defendant Obelng a poor man, the judgment should not be made for an amount that would be utterly destructive of his client, and this is the view the Jury seems to have taken.
The Gazette made the first publication of the news about the occurrence the subsequent publication of which by the Express brought about the suit for libel. Nothing in the way of a retraction appeared in the Gazette until four days afterward, until the libel suit had been brought and then the Gazette said it had refrained from publishing anything more than the original news because it had been requested not to do

noon and evening the office of the Express was crowded with citizens who came to say that they believed the Express was in the right. Several persons offered to go on Main street, and by means
oj
a popular subscrip
tion, raise the $100. Realizing also that the public weflrid prefer that there should not be another trial the Express is willing to pay the judgment.
Those who were in the court room wero certainly impressed ^ith the truth of the charge frequently made in the Express that the conduct of certain memberi of our bar the practice in our local courts was ruffianly and a disgrace to the profession. But there was still other proof of this fact which did not become so public as the many instances of bull dozing tactics on the part of the counsel for the plaintiff. This was done in a sneaking manner, because it was under cover of conversation among themselves. The witness stand was located directly alongside the table and chairs used by the counsel for the plaintiff and some distance from the judge's bench and from where cotinsel for the defendant sat. Thus these honorable gentlemen were free to indulge in outrageous abuse of witnesses for the defense, while pretending to be engaged in conversation among themselves, but which was spoken just loud enough to be heard by the witness.
that Mr. Duen-
satisfied
about the case. When
the effort was beingmade to have the proprietor of this paper indicted for libel the Gazette on several occasions published misstatements as to the facts and explained afterward that it had received information

Baur should leave
town, he said, "The Gazette is our enemy has bee a lor two years* bat do what you can." Early the next morning the enemy was placated, and since has allowed, 'is we have shown, the use of its coin imns in any manner by the Baurs. ~fV!ny? Is it because the GazettS,. that is notorious for apologizing itt private for articles published in itb* £ol» junns, isso much in favor of that styla c!' journalism that it dislikes a paper tS 'at is manly enough to stand by its col lors? The Gazette may prefer the si^fl ing of a Statement that it had lied to avoid a libel suit, as it once did, but Such a barn-yard rooster ought to
have'jenougli
appreciation of
game qualities in other roosters to know when to
cf»ow
and when not to.
Let it go on sighing such, statements, sending postal card apologies and quietly paying §350 to avoid standing up to its own pubi icatioas. The Express prefers to put in ptea's of justification and make an loftiorable, manly fight to uphold the truth of articles appearing in its own columns.
The Gazette says Senator Voorhees urged "the idea that the defendant being a poor man, th« judgment Bhould not be made for an (mount that would be utterly destructive of his Client.'1 This statement by the Gazette is pure ly and simply false. Senator Voorhees in showing that there was malice in bringing the fsuit snid Eugene Duenweg was in better circumstances than George Allen s»nd that if there had been a libel, her Duenweg, should be sued before any* suit was brought against George Aflen, because Duenweg had first circulated the story. That was all there was of that. We cite this merely to show howtheland lies with the Gazette. .J
The Gazette nays a portion "of the jury desired a much larger verdict. The truth is, as nt?ar as can be learned,
but this was not even voted upon. The jury at the start was seven for the defendant and five for the plaintiff. Jben during most of th® night it stood sfxto six. The next day was Saturday, and those jurymen who wanted a verdict for the defendant agreed to the $100, believing it was best thus to avoid a new trial, and thus they might get home for Sunday. They looked at it that $100 meant nothing more to the defendant than worn'd be involved in anew trial. So it was after twentyone hours a jury said in affect:.

FOB SUBMISSION FIRST
TERRE HAUTE,
to the rich—where the farmer, mSK chinist, mechanic, or the laborer that works on the streets of our cities, stands upon an equality with Vanderbilt or Gould. It is quite a comfort to me to know that although I must toil for a maintenance, day after day and month after month although my home is an humble one, with a wife and two little ones depending on the labor of my hands for their support, there is on place where I may exercise my constitutional powers as a citizen (of the best government the world ever knew), and.stand equal as a voter in the eyes of the law with the railroad king, the bondholder or the banker. And yet there are men in this country who say the people shall not have the right to vote on this great question of prohibition. A short rime ago a newspajer man of our city said there were greatdJ issues now before the people than pro* hibition that the south was up in arms against a free ballot and a fair count. Why, my dear sir, I would justasleave a southern rifle club or ktvklux clan, with shot-guns, would stand between me and the polls and prevent me from exercising my rights as an American citizen, as to have a drunken state senate say by their votes, "You shall not have the right to vote on a proposition to change your constitution." In either case the man that will try to prevent a free ballot and a fair count, or prevent a free and full expression at the ballot box on all questions, is a coward unworthy of trust and an enemy to the people he represents.
Again, it seems to me that even in old Ohio (a northern state, too) men tried (and so far succeeded) to override the will of the majority by refusing to count the ballots cast for the second amendment. Isn't it time the people were rising in their might and demanding that their constitutional rights be respected that all questions be submitted to the electors of the different Btat'es that airee ballot and a fair count be guaranteed them
But, as I have already said, there seems to be a difference in opinion how to obtain prohibition. In the first place submission must come before prohibition. Our constitution cannot be changed except by a vot6 of the people therefore, the question tion must be submitted (and adopted by a majority vote) before it becomes a constitutional law. That being the case, the fight should be made for submission only, so far as our political work is concerned. All the time agitate the question of constitutional prohibition in bur temperance meetings, thereby educating public sentiment, so that when the question. me* people will be ready to vote upon it and adopt it by a large majority. Submission is a much stronger issue to go before the people with than prohibition. There are thousands of good citizens who are conscientiously opposed to prohibition, yet they are in favor of submission, berause, as they say, it is a constitutional right that all questions ought to be submitted to a direct vote of the people, allowing a full and free expression for or against the measure as the voters may choose.
All the time the prohibition sentiment will be increasing, and we shall be better prepared to vote intelligently, and thereby adopt the amendments.
It was upon this principle that we started out' and all the success we have obtained has been by this plan of work. We said in the last campaign, prohibition was not the issue, but submission that when the amendments was submitted then prohibition would be the issue, and submission carried, but, on a mere shadow of a technicality, the senate voted the amendments were not pending, thereby closing the ballot-box in the face of every voter in the state. If submission was a good issue last year, why not it be a ten-fold stronger one this, since the people are better educated upon the subject, and are smarting and indignant 'because they were purposely and maliciously cheated out of their constitutional rights as voters.
Give the people a chance to vote for submission unsaddled by prohibition, and submission will surely come, and submission must precede prohibition.

Ind. January—
To the Editor of the Monitor-Journal:
For the last few months I have been reading with great interest all the articles published in the Indianapolis Daily Journal, as well as the MonitorJournal, bearing upon temperance legislation. Like Brother Whitson, I -think they have been of such a nature as to furnish food for thought. Altogether there seems to be a difference in opinions as to the best course to pursue, there is but little difference as to the object to be obtained. The people are firmly settled on prohibition as the only remedy for the evils of intemperance. They are tired of becoming partners to the traffic, and curses coming therefrom, through a license law. Local option will not do either. Nothing short of constitutional prohibition will satisfy us temperance fanatics, and forward is the war cry until we have inscribed in our constitution, as a part of the organic law in our state prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. And the people

fast becoming educated to
the principle and justice of suck laws as will be seen by the votes cast in Iowa and Ohio. There is but one issue paramount to prohibition, and that is the right of the sovereign voters of the state to be heard at the ballot-box. The constitution guarantees us that right. It is the most sacred of all the fundamental principles of our form of government. The ballot box is one place where the poor mm stands equal
