THE sun AND Anu,

The New York Sun is trotting all
over the world with microscope to fnd
objections to and calumnles against
Grover Cleveland. The sun imsglnes
that It is forwarding the interests OF
Dave Hill and Increasing his chat css for
the Democratic nomination for the Presi.
dency.
Perhaps the SIMS representations
hopes interests and unaccountable
annimositie8 are correct, reasonable an
righteous; but We doubt IL. at any rate
there does not seem TO be any reasonable
complaint against Grover Cleveland as
candidate for the Presidency or any
serious cammendation Of the candidacy
OF Dave Hill.
Cleveland possesses the confidence OF
the people as no other living man III the
United Stated possesses it and as
very few. except Washington aud Lin
coin. ever possessed It before. The man
who disputes that is not reasonable or
an intelligent man.
However, the Suns editor for mex
plicable personal reasons may dislike the
man Cleveland he cannot dispute the
universally patent fact OF CleveIaud's S
populerity. Outside Of New York city
1t is tangible force; inside Of New
York city 1t is force that Il is foolish
to ignore.
The Sun has bean foolish enough to
ignore that 70, ce before aud whether it is
foolish enough to ignore it again is a
matter with the Sun. It advocated But
Ter aud got miserably and significantly
left Whether it will advocate any body
else IN the same manner and for similar
reasons again is for the Sun to decide
It is the Suns own funeral and not ours.
But the idea Of hunting up Phil
Thompson In WASN'T gion aad quoting
him as q representative Of Kentucky sen.
timeBt Is about ss reasonable as the ides
Of cstohing old Red Cloud, the sioui

LIaELs ARE NOT pRvILEorp.

Ll6ELS ARE NOT PRIVILEGED.
The decision Of Judge Metzler OF Phila-
delphia in regard to the validity Of a
libel against remonstrant who filed an
untruthful and damaging petition against
an applicant for a Wholesale liquor
license, should not be misunderstood
Yesterday, In commenting on the de
cision, the Every Evening said:
After hearing the case, the Judge or
dered a non-suit TO be entered, holding
that the proceedings conceraing the
granting of licenses are OF judicial
character; that the filing of petition
for license aud Of remonstranee are
'plesdlngs" in the proceeding and
that, as the pleadings In q judicial
proceeding have always been held to
be = matter of the highest privilege
the remembrance was privileged paper
and no action will lie against the parties
filing IL in good faith. He said further
that the Judicial proceedings In license
matters are conducted In tho public in
terests; that remonstrants. when acting
In good faith, are acting In the public
behalf, and that. therefore, II is Of the
utmost Importance that such judicial
proceedings should be clear Of ali obsta-
cles to free and full investigation, and
THAT the G tiBen, acting in behalf of the
vicinSge. should not be deferred by the
apprehension Of vexatlous and retaliatory
suits.
Remonstrances against liquor licenses
are not required by the court. they are
supposed TO be given in the interest Of the
viclnage and of the public veal, but they
are often prompted by private malice, and
they are frequently urged BY cranks and
by those who are opposed TO any liquor
traffic at all
No sort Of privilege can deprive a man
OF his right to protect his character, to
defend his good name, and to recover
damages from those who bv malice or
otherwise may injure him. No decision
is good law which deprives man Of that
right This is especially the case with
remonstrances against an applicant who
has previously held license. The re-
monstrant, in that case, should be held to
strict account because his actions are
often not prompted for the public good
but for his private ends.
Remonstrances are not required and
compelled by the court. as the testimony
Of a witness, but they are given on the
promptings of the remonstrant's own
will. In that respect they are no more
privileged" than any other communi-
cations to the court or otherwise. Hence
they are liable for libel.

THE political doctors have failed to
diagnose the case satisfactorily and can
not agree who killed McKlnlyism. Some
Of them in fact cannot believe that the
sinking old corpse is really dead. That
impurturbable, unimpressionable old ice

called Honest John Sherman, said:

expected Of Democratic House Of Re-
presentatives The threatened panic Ia
New York is tie result Of the election.
Whether Honest John is posing for
fool or iTagines the people are fools
it is dlfi,ult TO conjecture, but surely the
people shO believe that the result is the

THAT charge against Frank P Kane is
trumped up as retaliatory measure to
Offset the Cotton charges. Kane did not
know and had never seen the man before
whose alleged illegal vote le is accused
of accepting There Is no prospect that
he can be convicted. But II
will be fun to see the Republican
saints make the effort. Cotton is In q
bad predicament, and 1t is necessary to
do something to break the force of the
charges against him. They are backed
by respectable, intelligent and honorable
citizens. while the charges against Kane
have no backing whstever.

CLEVELAND now claimes TO be in
favor Of free coinage Of silver. Har-
rison also claims to favor the same
plan. When Cleveland was presi-
dent, he favored the demonstration
of oliver. During the last session of
congress, when the silver question
was being discussed, Harrison said he
would veto any bill tending toward
free coinage. Why this sudden con-
version? The late voice OF the PEG.
ple, at the polls, is the cause.
