A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when Dr. sherman named his great remedy Pricily Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed that at that time all remedies for the blood, etc. were called Bitters.

TIE LAW OF LIBEL.

The British House of Lords Is now consider
ing an amendment to the law OF libel intended
to remove some of those crude provisions now
in force which render newspaper proprietor
liable to both civil and criminal actions Tor
nuhlished misstatements, however wanting IN
the element of mschievous motive, however
harmless in their effect upon the public peace,
and notwithstanding his obvious inability to
have any personal knowledge of the facts re-
ported in his journal. Behind all law there
should be good and sufficient reasons for Its
existence. and as the reasons which originally
gave rise TO an enactment lose their 10rce anu
pertinency because of changed conditions, 10
is plainly in the interest Of justice to alter, ana
often to abolish, the law thus rendered inap-
propriate. No branch Of human industry has
undergone within recent years such remark
able revolutions and processes OF developments
as that Of making daily newspaper, but 1t is
unfortunately not the fact that the statutes
defining and limiting the rights and privileges
of the press have been kept in harmony with
the conditions under which, to satisfy the pub
lie, the editor of to-day must print his paper.
Far more necessary here than in Great Brit
ain are the amendments upon which the Lords
are deliberatng. They propose two radical
reforms. No editor is to be held liable for
statements reported in his paper which were
part of the proceedings of public meeting
and printed in the public interest" No Grim
inal action can be instituted against an editor
or a reporter based upon published statements
however libellous in themselves, which do not
tend. in the opinion of the Attorney-General
of the realm, to provoke breach Of the pub
lie peace. These propositions are fair and
reasonable, and ought to be part of the law
of libel everywhere. The theory of the present
law that every libel tends to create disorder
is plainly absurd. The public of to-day, and,
in an especial degree, the American public,
requires to know everything that happens
everywhere that can be considered of interest
and Importance AS to what classes of occur
rences shall be esteemed of interest and inn
portance the public fixes no definite limit. That
question is left to the conductors Of the news

belonging to the Democratic household. and
experience has proved that we did not trust in
vain. During the weeks which have elapsed
since the damnng record was made public and
up to the present moment we have received one
solitary complaint Of injustice done and no
more. That error was at once repaired, ana
our promise to make immediate acknowledg-
ment of any and all mistakes was explicitly
renewed, but no further chance to exercise
that privilege is offered us.
Such testimony outweighs thousand fretful
complaints and silly jests about the blunders
and deceptions of newspapers. 1t shows how
rigidly they construe their obligation to the
public with what skill and care and caution
they scrutnize the sources of information, and
how generally they deserve as news-gatherers
the confidence OF their readers.

VTNDJCITION.

Excitable persons finding an occasional error
of fact in a newspaper upon a subject when
happens to be within their personal knowledge
or connected with their personal interests are
won't to indulge themselves in general con-
demnation Of newspaper accuracy. Ihey 40
not stop to reflect either upon the enormous
difficulties from which the daily journal emerges
into public circulation or upon the unqueS-
toned fact that every other department OF
human energy is responsible for far larger
proportion Of original errors-errors whlch
subsequent opportunity for correction often
makes harmless. The truth is that the news
paper press has made an advance in respect to
the accuracy of the intelligence 1t conveys
which is not less remarkable than the expan-
sion of its energy and activity. The precau-
tions taken and the money expended IN inc
conscientious endeavor to obtain an exactly
truthful record of every days doings the world
over are q safe defence against the hlppant
complaints of captous critics. The fact IS
constantly brought home to every newspaper
office in the most convincing manner, and 1t IS,
moreover, frankly acknowledged by candid OBJ
servers.
During the last five weeks we have been
particularly impressed with the truth of the
foregoing observations On July 20 THE
TRIBUNE published history in twenty-foI
columns of the appointments in the Civil Ser
vice, by which the President has blackened
his Administration and made REFORM identi-
cal with hypocrisy. The record was drawn
from the columns of newspapers published al
over the country, and in most instances 1t was
impossible to verify the indictment from inde
pendent and original sources. We were So
| licitous to avoid even the most tiilling error
for a recoil upon ourselves, and upon the party
which it is our privilege to uphold, would have
been most unfortunate outcome OF the under
taking to which sense of duty impelled us
But we trusted to the good faith and the ac-
curacy Of our contemporaries. most Of then

upper classes in Great Britain will be able for
many years yet to regulate the intellectual diet
of the general public, but we suspect the DAY
of censors is almost DONE and that the amefi-
can doctrine that there can be no harm IN any
body knowing anything if only he will take the
right view of it, will soon be enforced by
every civilized people.
At all events, it is enforced here and the
objection to the news of the day that some
people will put it to bad use is held in about
rs much esteem as the advice of that old-tlmc
British aristocrat who warned his son against
books because he had known man who once
ran the corner of book into his eye. 1t should
not need argument to show that with all that
must be printed in a modern daily newspaper,
modicum of error must creep into every issue.
All error is harmful and much of it is llbellous.
II is utterly impossible that an editor can know
what of the hundreds Of news items handled
daily in his office is accurate or inaccurate. lie
must depend upon as many different sources
Of supply for his items Of news as there are
items in each paper. He has no information,
and can get none upon which to discriminate.
He can only print what credible informants
tell him, and, if he can be shown to have eXer-
cised care and judgment in the selection Of his
informants, it is unreasonable to hold him to
strict account for errors into which they may
be betrayed, provided he strives to ascertain
the exact truth and to correct errors when dis
covered The libel laws should be reformed
in the interest not only of the press, but of the
general public for it is in its service that ibels
are usually written. Take away the malicious
motive, given that the editor did not and could
not know the exact facts, though he took all
proper steps to insure accuracy and printed
the offending paragraph in good faith, and a
situation is produced in which the plaintiff
in a libel suit is apt to be a far more serious
offender against public order than the editor
