The La Grange Journal has this to
say Of the libel law as it has been pro-
nounced by the Supreme Court Of
Texas:
The press Of Texas is having a
great deal to say about the opinion OF
the state Supreme Court in the libel
suit Of Wren against the Galveston
News, which affirms the judgment Of
the lower court mulcting the News in
damages to the amount of $40, 900.
The decision will be serious impedi-
ment to the progress Of civilization
and free thought in this state The
alleged libel constituted the publica-
ton of certain evidence before com.
mittee of the Legislature. The defense
claimed, very properly, that the pub
licati6n was privileged, and consti
tuted no ground of action. The court
held, however. that the privilege ex-
tends only to final proceedings, and
not to preliminary or ex-parte inves-
legations. If this extraordinary con-
struction of the law were extended to
all the states in the Union, newspa-
pers would be compelled to suspend
publication, or 10 deprive their read
ers of all the news Of criminal char
acter or of official corruption. II the
people of this state ever hope to have
an enterprising press, they will take
the first opportunity 10 elect a su-
preme court which Will put a modern
on the law Of libel, or a
legislature which viii ensct statute

p CANAL BRIDGE

An anonymous writer under the
name of 'sWm in this weeks Standard
takes exceptions o u views in regard
to the necessity Of two bridges, saying
we "have been urging, with more zeal
than discretion, that the Freeholders
erect but one bridge across the canal,
or rather that they tear away n that
is nearly new and another about half
built, and erect a new II in their
stead" The committee ia charge Of
the Upper bridge reported that a new
n would have to be built, the old one
MT worth repairing. As to the abut-
nlents being first class, n is ready to
tupple into the canal now, and the 9th
er is washed bare, so that 1t will need
renairing. ''W" ought to know that
the Elain expense in the bridge will be
the pivot. As to the bridge being al
ready h~alf-built, the carpenter in charge
said that there wns scarcely "A stick in
| the old bridge which he could utilize in
a new one. A new bridge would cost
no more at a point between tho two
bridges han at the present place. If
.sW" has seen the Lower bridge lately
he knows that the current is already
wearing under and through the pivot,
so that it will have to be ''doctored."
In addition to this the water at high
tide runs between the pivot and the
north abutmeat, SO thatina short time
the abutment viii be undermined. The
way "W9 values land in that vicinity,
The Penn's Grove record., 1885-08-15

he possibly is a freebooter and wants to
dispose Of his land at fancy figures.
The RECORD knows that when land is
w~auted,for public purp1sed it is always
valued high, but "W's" valuation
claps the climax. The RECoRD is not
iE The habit of paying $500 for leas
than $500 worth of land.
If so many are opposed to giving up
the upper bridge, why did not some Of
them appear before the Board on We'd
nesday and urged their views. Beside
the watcrmen are Taxpayers and ought
to have some say in the matter. The
RECORD has never pointed out a Tlace
for the roads TO run: The surveyors
will attend to that matter. We uii-
derstand that the Canal Co., Of
fers free right Of way along the north
bank. This road would neithsr be as
expensive or dangerous rs at Biddle's
causeway. All the RECORD contends
for is econtmy IN county Affairs. Every
$1,000 raised for county purposes makes
the tax rake z of / per cent higher all
over the county. This years budget
is si2, 600 higher than last years and
consequently the county tax will be 8
cts. higher. If wv" IA produce fig
ures that will show that two bridges
can be maintained cheaper than one,
We will cAeeffully advocate two bridges
but our figuring conclusiyely shows
the opposite.

During the presidential canyas last
