NEW LIBEL Avn.

Although thers is frequently desul4
tory discussion OF tho need Of an
amended law in this stats with refer
ence to libel, the subject is pretty much
where it was years ago. Meanwhile
the enterprisinZ law maEers Of mum.
Der OF more progressive states have al.
ready done justice to publishers with.
ont sacrificing any of the real rights
of the reading public. Ia Michigan
Minnesota and Georgia the editor who
makes a mistake without bearing
malice IS no longer regarded as guilty
beyond possibility Of vindication or
extnuation. Like other accused per-
sons he is at least given chance to
establish his innocence; and his public
expression of sorrow, in case Of guilt,
is not, as in this state, refused admis-
sion 10 the jury rooms.
In three other states, namely New
York. Illinois and Wisconsin, tho con-
certed effort Of publishers is at work
on legislative sentiment, in the hope
of inspiring similar reforms The pro.
posed law which has been drafted by
the Illinois State Editorial association
reflects the best thought on this sub
ject, and is similar in import to the
bills contemplated in the other two
states. 1t is wordsd as follows:

a HOPELESS TASK.

Editor Singerly has at last got his
conscience twisted 'ro1nl to the point
where he can join in tho policy Of in

until it was forced by Minister Steven,
in his precipitate haste to acknowledge
the provisional government" Mr.
Singerly ought to remember that the
provisional government had been set
up and recogniz ID by other foreign
representatives good day before

matter, and that when he did act, it

iyu and adjacent territory to New
York. Upon an earlier occasion this
proposition to ampliiy Gotham met
with strenuous resistance, both from
the dominant element in New York'5
municipal government and also from
the majority Of the citizens whom it
was intended to annex. Now, by a
curious c0incldenoe, Tammauy ring

which, if it shall maUerializs, would
have q population second 10 the list of

Much the same tendency toward
greater municipal CO operation is Wis
ible in numerous smaller communities,
TO which rule our own is no exception.
Thus in Troy there IS very persistent
effort to annex West Troy, separated
only by the Hudson. and Lansingburg,
cut of only by q fanciful legal boun-
dary. Altogether, this would make a
city with approximately 1l5 900 inhab-
itants; and the only reason for the di
