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
