Day after day humanity is stretching
out her hands for help-poor erring souls

SwILL MiLx.-A year or Two ago, .
dsirymsn in San Francisco peddled out
swill milk to his customers, and q great
many children became sick, and some
even died, from it, use. Tho San
Francisco Bulletin published q number
of severe articles on the subject Of sell
ing swill milk, naming q certain dairy
man rs dealing in the article, and who
accordingly sued the Bulletin for libel.
The ease was tried q couple Of days ago,
and it went against the vender of swill
milk. This is the second case Of libel
which has been decided in favor of the
Bulletin within six months past. 1t is
very easy matter sometimes to talk
about suing 70: libel-but where tho
public interest is involved, it is ex-
tremely difficult to punish q newspaper
for exposing or holding up to public
ridicule a fraud or an Imposition. Here
the San Francisco press will be
less hampersd in the discharge Of its
duty than il has been, and we recognize
with satisfaction the justice of that pub
lie sentiment which refuses to punish
the discussion Of matters which involve
only public interests, and are uutaiuted
by personal malice.
