wy The Chronicleghas come off victotious in anotheflibel suit, In March last the Chronicle published an urticle E. W. Casey and W. H. Davis of obtaining, appointments for money ot-Mare, Island. The article. was based upor specific churges con-tained'in the Solabe Demoarat,” Casey's defense was that he was not a member of the committee at the time boa wis made, but thathe was "ah the op eommittee. The Cliron“et not . ‘Thus again the press ‘hos Ph bh es it has béen shown that the public vindicates the right ‘of . the press to criticise without the fear of libel, the deiinquencies of those whe use the confidence reposed in ‘them for: personal, gains os eorrupt. proveedings. Reeently libel suits . have not beety o: paying, institution. Those who. haye in civil. actions recovered damages have got from ten ‘cents to fifty dollars.. In a civil*suit it is impossible for. a verdict to be obtained against a. paper where . there is any basis for the strictures of ” the press. The Legislature ought to further protect the press in this matter of libel, by the passage of » law : Requiring: the plaintiff to deposit money enough to pay the costs of suit and counsel fees in case he fails. 4 recover judgment. Such a rule: shouldbe adopted in order to protect journals against. men who. only ‘gue for:the purpose of annoying the press. Lately several ‘prominent examples have been, given of the power of. the press in bringing before: the public'the corruption of men in pub lic. places.. The New York Times and its.exposures of Tammany is. a. ease in point. The freedom of the press in the criticism of the acts.of public servants should ‘not be réstricted, but it ought tobe enlarged, the papers being only responsible for. the abuse of this right. A fearless ~ and independent press, which isever. ready ‘to expose and briig to punish. ment the corrupt—-whether members . ef its own or the opposition party— ean do much to free the country of ef rogues, whe sometimes get imto office. The Chronicle, and other recent eases of libel sults are a warning to those who corrupt the public offices, . and then bring suits for large amounts . in damages to intimidate the press. The Legislature ought to do something to lesson the cost of State printing. The office of State Printer ought to be abolished, und an. expert should be appointed. to superintend the work, and it ouglit to. be done by eentract. The State would save money. and the work, would, be better done. As the matter now stands, the’ Loerie is, nsuajly, divided up a dozen newapapersend party es, and it, is, generally: of little benefit to the party elected. A govat less. expense than, the State printing is done. The object of the Legislature should be to cut off every useless expense and, zetrengh, where it.can be done. The: State printing . . business is a good field, for fhe, aan. eise of economy. Let something bo . Per done.in the, matter. ot. this coming.
