LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.

The New York Legislature has now
pending before it o measure of such mag
nitude that should it ever become O. law
it threatens the liberty if not the very ex.
istence of journalism in that State.
Briefly, the measure provides chat any
one who may feel aggreved against any
newspaper in the State may obtain re-
dress by applying TO some attorney in the
State, submitting at the same time Il
clipping from the news paper setting forth
the offense upon which the grievance is
founded" On this SHOWN the district
attorney may draw up true bill and
submit it to the grand jury for approval.
The burden of proof is put upon the
newspaper, and in the event of conviction
fine of 81 900 or imprisonment for one
year, either or both, may be exacted as
penalty.
Such measure as this is opposed TO
every principle upon which we as Amer
lean citizens base our freedom. Should it
by any possibility be enacted into law, it
would mean the muZzlinr Of every Jour
nal the State so far as defense of crime,
oppression and kaavery is concerned.
From the very inception of Journalism
experience has shown that the broader
the freedom CT the pen the more limited
becomes the power of evil. No surer
method of curtailing the rights of PEG.
pie could be adopted than the Stacking
of the strong aim that defends them
The origin of such a measure is not far to
seek. With unstinted measure the rot
tenness of partisan leaders in New Yo1k
city has been ilayed and castigated, until
writhing under the just scourgings they
have received through newspaper criti-
cism their victims have attempted this
method of suppressingsthe attacks. For
the sake of our freedom and for the SAX G
of unbridled oppression and crime in high
places it is to be hoped that such a. bill
will be defeated

many very promising ventures have
proved to be uinous failures. Then, too,
the yellow fever epidemic in the earlier
part of the season turned back scores of
tronpes from the South, sending them
in endless succession through the towns
and eities above the danger line of conta
gion. This has had the effect OF giving
mauy of cur larger cities plethora of
opera and theatricals, until companies
that are never seen outside OF large CEN
ties have been forced out into smaller
towns and cities in order to find engage
ments 1hus what has been a loss to the
mnn gers and actors themselves has been
gain to Smaller towns, enabling the
people to see and hear in their own com
munities some of the worlds leading
stage celebrities.

likely she could have BEEN secured for so
comparatively small place. The unex
pected success that some of these larger
companies have had in these, for them,
unusual itineraries of engagements, will
no doubt cause repetition of their visits
each season and our smaller towrs TINT

This time, however, it is not to be n real

we notice the springng mp of factories

article, until we begin to wonder if the

speedily as possible to remedy the defect
Town after town, having carefully can
vassed the field for the establishment of
new industries, has all at once reached
The conclusion that any enterprise with
shirts for it's basis offers the most hole
full prospects for large and speedy re-
turns. Our attention had not before been

article of apparel, but evidently such
must be the case, else the State would

THE LAWS DELAYS.

We find it claimed by many of our ex
changes that crime of every description
| is on the Increase throughout the coun
try, and if we a1e 10 take account of the
columns lilled dailyswith The record oil
Chine in every direction we are forced &c
admit the truth of the claim. In seeking
a cause for this we believe the greatest
will he found IN the laXitv OF our courts
to aillX proper and adequate penalties for
crime. Then, too, in many instances the
officers of the law fail to use due diligence
In the arrest of criminals; or should
criminals re apprehen led aud brought to
trial, the legal technicalities and dilatory
pleas urged by the attorneys to save the
accused parties frequently renders posi-
BILE verdict of acquittal in the face of
duced in establishing their guilt before
the court.
Again, there is too much mandln SEN
timent for mnrderers and law breakers
at this day. Some poor fellow is killed
in the sudden heat Of passion or n urder-
ed in cold blood, and if the slayer is Al
rested and brought to trial every measure
is reSorted 20 to acnuit him and TO throw
the blame on the dead victim, who can
no longer explain how he was taken off.
Little or no pity il felt for the dead, bnt
the living slayer often gets sympathy,
although he would not show mercy to the
one whom he has robbed of life. Should
n jury even convict him and me be sent to
the penitentiary. too often this same
mandlin sentiment gets up n petition for
pardon, which the governor grants.
All these things are an encouragement
to crime, and when criminals are turned
loose they will commit the same crimes
again OH the slightest provocation. In
this will be found the explanation If SD
much lynch law throughout the land. If
the courts, juries and law officers would
perform their sworn duties fearlessly and
see that the sentences and penalties are
executed according to the full measure of
the guilt, under the law, then would we
