NEWSPAPER LIBEL SUITS.


The Boston Daily Newspaper associa-
islature of Massachusetts, for legislation
to prevent speculative and groundless
suits for libel The petitioners include
practically all the newspapers of Massa-
chusetts They represent that the laws
of the state in relation to suits for il
bel are unjust and oppressive, and they
ask the enactment of such laws as will
prevent speculative suits, but they do
not ask for any enlargement of the
freedom of the press This probably
means that nothing is asked in the
way of making the source Of informa-
ton privileged.
Accompanying the petition is a bill
which, according to Boston exchange,
provides that the person aggrieved
shall first of all, by himself or attor-
ney, demand retraction, which shall be
given as much prominence aus the al
legged libel was If within three days,
or in the case of weekly or semi
weekly in the next issue, this retrac-
ton is published as above, the defend
ant may introduce evidence of such re-
traction, and that the alleged libel was
published in good faith, etc. Unless
the plaintiff proves malice, damages
shall be awarded only for such injury
as he shall actually have sustained.
The bill provides further that the de-
PENDANT may plead, in mitigation of
damages, that the plaintiff has already
brought action for the libel, or has Sc
cured damages. or has received or
agreed to receive compensation. Where
several actions are pending for SUBJ
stantially the same libel, in the same
or different counties, any justice may,
in his discretion, issue an order con-
solidalting the actions, that they may
be tried together. If the plaintiff OBJ
tains Judgment, the court may make
such an order as it sees fit for the ap-
portionment of the costs between the
defendants.
There is nothing unreasonable asked
here, and it will be interesting to watch
and see whether what is asked is
granted. In passing libel law a leg
isIature need have no fear but that any
jury will readily and gladly give all
the damages possible against a malic-
ious and vicious paper whenever it Ii
bells anyone.

KEEP DOWN LEGISLATION.

We would caution the legislature
once more against the vice of too much
legislation: and legislation of a com
pick character Only that legislation
which is absolutely necessary should
be attempted. and then it should follow
as closely as possible the customs and
habits Of the people. No greater mis-
take was ever made by legislators than
to attempt to create TOO many Gus
toms and too many habits by legisla-
tive enactment. It is infinitely better
that legislation follow than attempt to
lead in the establishment of custom.
Another thing that should be remem-
bered is that the laws applicable to
New York, Pennsylvania or California
are not always applicable to conditions
prevailing in Utah, and a nice discrim-
ination is necessary in adapting the
laws of older states for our own state,
where conditions are 50 radically differ
ent. Take this matter of q railroad
commission as an example. In states
whose surface is a complete network CT
railways; where traffic both in passen-
gers and freight is enormous, and
where there is likelihood of railway
combinations and constant discrimina-
lions, a railway commission under such
circumstances may be an absolute ne
cessity to such community, and their
experience may be to the effect that
through q commission is the best meth
Cd Of dealing with combinations and
determinations that exist in those
states. But here in Utah where rail-
ways are few. and those few unable
to meet current expenses with the bust
ness they have, and where from the
nature of the circumstances the people
of Utah are in no such danger from
railway determinations and combina-
lions as the people of California or
Pennsylvania are, a commission would
doubtless be an unnecessary burden to
the state, and useless as securing any
material good to the people
So far as may be let business and
commercial customs and principles reg
ulate affairs of trade and traffic. and
let not the state undertake to interfere
too much with the business of the peo-
pie. 1t may be advisable to enact a
law making it unlawful for a common
carrier to discriminate in favor Of indi-
viduals Or corporations in the matter
of freights Of the. same class, carried
the same distance and with like speed.
either by different charges or by any
system of rebates whatsoever, but
such a law does not necessarily call for
a commission to look after its enforce
ment.
The machinery afforded in the
courts will be all-suficient to enforce
the law, if such an act as we suggest
shall pass. Keep legislation at a min
imum. The fewer special commissions
and other officers that are appointed
to live upon the substance of the peo-
pie, the more will they appreciate the
labors of the legislature

INACCURATE AND 1NrEMpERA1E


That was rather an Incorporate and
inaccurate address which the sixty-two
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church in America sent to the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, head Of the An
glican church, to the Gar of Russia,
president of France, and the emperors
of Germany and Austria. In their let
ter to the bishop of Canterbury they
say in substance that a crusade sup
ported by Christians the world over
would be warranted, and plead that
the great Church of England, through
its episcopal head, shall take decisive
action.
The bishops make a mistake here.
The days of religious wars are over.
Conditions are not favorable to them.
The head of the Episcopal church pos
sesses no such power as did Pope
Urban when to the people of Europe
aroused by the preaching of Peter
the Hermit, he cried God wills itp'
A cry which called all Europe to arms
and dashed its armies against the In
vincible chivalry of the Saracens in
order to recover the place of the Holy
Sepulcher, and secure the rights of
Christians to be unmolested in the east
The religious enthusiasm of Europe
and the unity of Christians, which
made the crusades of the middle ages
possible, is wanting today There is
no such power in the head of the
Christian church as in the day when
Urban blessed the first crusaders
There is no Holy Roman Empire to
second the movements of the holy
mother church There is no such
spirit of chivalry today as in the
eleventh century, indeed none Of the
elements exist in the Christian world
today out Of which to organize a re-
ligious crusade to deliver the Ar
menians. Other forces must be relied
upon, other methods than religious
crusade
The inaccuracy of the bishops is
found in that part Of their address
where. in appealing to the great pow
ers to go to the aid of their prosecuted
Armenian brethren, they say that the
Armenians ARE suffering worse than
the Roman Emperors ever prosecuted.
worse than the martyrs of the early
church ever endured The bishops
are either not sincere in that statement
or else their sympathies with the Ar
menians has led them TO forget the
extent and cruelty Of the early Chris

RoBnEp on rHErR rHuNpssR.

AT its meeting Monday night the
board of fire and police commissioners
by resolution instructed the chief Of
police to go on with the enforcement of
the laws against Sunday liquor selling,
gambling and prostitution. Doubtless
the adoption Of such resolution was
considered necessary in view Of the
criticisms so freely made upon the
city authorities for the recent raids
It was a proper thing for the commits
sion to give the instruction. There had
arisen so many apologists for the viola
tors of the law; so many city authori-
ties thought it necessary to disclaim
responsibility for the action of the city
police, that really one would be tempt
ed to think at times that the city
authorities We're the criminals in the
case, and owed an apology for having
captured violators of the city's ordin-
ances.
The action of the commission serves
warning upon the violators of the city
ordinances that those ordinances are to
be enforced. Strange thing that any
one should think such warning neces-
sary. but if any such there be, it is
now given and the apologists for viola
tors Of the citys laws will be robbed
of SO much of their thunder. And now
if the city officials can be kept out of
the dust, and can stop thinking it
necessary to apologize for enforcing
the city ordinances, it may be that
something like respect for them may
ultimately be established.

would be perfectly legal. for the law
makes the currency in question
redeemafble in ''coin," and the
government fulfils its agreement when
ever it tenders "coin," that is, gold or
silver, for its demand notes. Let but
the government when its reserve fund
of gold is reduced to the 100000, 600
limit refuse to pay out gold, but ten
der silver and it will at once protect its
reserve and obviate the necessity of
buying more gold with more bonds. 1t
need have no fear. Neither the credit
of the government, nor the country
will suffer Only the gold spectators
will complain, and their wall will be
but music to the rest of the country;
for it will be an evidence to the peo-
pie that notice has been served upon
them that the government goose can
no longer be pIucked at their pleasure
and for their advantage,

The catalogue of the University of
Pennsylvania for 1856, a publication
of AL pages, has just been received.
The general summary of officers and
students shows a marked increase over
the figures in last years catalogue. The
officers of instruction, exclusive of hos
pital service, number PSI, while the
students have reached a total of 1882,
thus ranking Pennsylvania the third
largest educational institution in the
country, This growth in numbers has
been steady and continuous, every de-
partment but two showing an increase
over the figures reported last year.
