Two Bills That Ought Not to Pass.

There are two bills before the Legislature
which ought to be rejected promptly and eff
fectually. One of them is the bill to subsi-
die legal journal in the city of Baltimore,
by compelling attorneys and others to pub
lish all legal notices in its columns 1t would
seem that bare mention of such PROPOSE.
ton would be sufficient to condemn 1t, but
vigorous efforts are making to get it through
the Legislature.
Legal journals are published for the bene-
fit of the legal profession alone and are not
read by laymen, but lawyers as well as other
people read newspapers. Therefore If the
object sought to be attained by the publca-
ton of legal notices is to give information to
the public generally and not to lawyers alone,
newspapers of the widest circulation are the
best mediums for the purpose. If the object
is to keep the public in the dark in regard to
such matters no better methed could be found
than to publish the notices in a journal which
none but lawyers read. The bill has been re-
committed to the judiciary committee, where
1t should be allowed to sleep the sleep that
knoW WIS no waxing.
Another bill which ought to be squelched is
the one providing for secret trials in certain
cases, such as divorces, &c. 1t is true some
newspapers frequently do harm by the pub
LEGATION of nauseating details in reports of
court trials, yet the passage of the law pro-
posed might lead to still greater harm. 1t is
in the line of censorship of the press and a
direct interference with Its liberty. News
paper publishers must be left free TO print
what they please, being amenable to the law
the same as individuals, if they overstep the
bounds of decency or infringe upon the
rights of Others.
The last named bill, we are pleased TO say
was killed in the House, on Wednesday, by
striking out the enacting clause.
