Trial by Newspaper.

The persistent efforts that have
been made to try by the newspapers
the case Of Lynch vs. Chalmers gives
point and effect to the following ex.
tract which We take from The Wash.
ington Capital:
But evidence, either positive or pre-
sumtive, is an element that does not
enter into that peculiar process of ju-
risprudence called trial by newspaper.
10 fact, we have observed in such
trials that evidence invariably embar-
raises. she'prosecution. All that the
newspaper prosecutor requires is pen,
ink. paper. types and press. With
those be can Gle information, indict,
try. convict and sentence any man,
high or low, for any crime that it may
please him to select from the calendar.
The ouly thing the newspaper prose.
cutor cannot do is to imprison or exc
cute pursuant to his sentence.
There are various grades of lies.
There is the lie probable, the lie plau.
sible and the lie possible.
In the rame of journalism, we pro.
test against the practice of wild, gro.
tesque defamation, called trial by
newspaper" which has already fetch
ed the American press into contemp,
well nigh nullifed its legitimate influ.
euce and destroyed its power.
For this abuse. unfortunately no ex.
ternal remedy is practicable. Lible
laws are useless. The character that
the American press has lost by it Ii.
cense cannot be repaired by prosccut-
ing editors for libel. After all, there
