4 Ringing Article from n Leading News
paper Against the Proposed Measure to
Copyright News Matter.
CINCINNATI. Feb. 2S.-Concerning the
proposition to introduce a bill in Congress
TO provide for the copyrightiny of news
matter, tie Enquirer has the following &c
say eiitOrially: "a bill is pending before the
House of Representatives to copyright news
items, OF, in other words, to copyright
daily newspapers for forty-eight hours
The bill was drawn by the General
Manager of the Associated Press, anu
the CORPORATION aforesaid has an attorney
at Washington to press its passage. Should
1t become IL Law it will cripple every cOun-
ny newspaper in the land. These papers
largely depend for the news features OF
their weekly issues upon the metropolitan
dailieS. So far as the Enquirer is concerned,
the rural press is welcome to all it con-
tainS We want 10 legal inhibition
against n one to help himself to the
good things We offer three hundred and
sixty-fve days in the year. The New
York newspapers, or a majority of them,
favor the proposed law. The cOm-
plant is made that the New York cor.

and other points west to San Francisco,
by the reason of difference in time in
their favor, can, without credit, TEL
egrapb all there is worth telegraphing from
New York to their respective journals.
They not only can, but do. One or two
San Francisco newspapers, because Of this,
have given notice of a desire to withdraw
from the Associated Press. This is why
the latter corporation favors the news
copyright.
1.-The proposed law would be the worst
kind of a monopoly. 1t wOald be withhold
ing for forty-eight hours the intelligence
OF the land. 1t would tend to dwarf rather
than enIighten the people as to current events.
1t would lead to endless litigation and vex-
alton. 1t wOuld be a step backward rather
than forward. 1t Is not asked in
the interest of the people, and is
i'm fact, against their interest It would
strike at the poor rather than the rich, for
the latter class are largely within the reach
Of the metropolitan press. When q monop-
oily of the intelligence OF the country is cen
in a circumscribed space and kept bot
lled. as il were. for forty eight hours, it is
about time to give up the fast mails and the
telegraph. The bill ought to be defeated, /

the other. 1t is needless for us TO say that
we are the cheapest and most popular
Clothiers in the city, for our past reputa-
