VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Our Anticipated Libel Law.
Lewiston Journal.)

We publish elsewhere an admirable,
conservative and yet timely address
delivered at Augusta on Thursday af-
ternoon, on the libel law. The object
of Mr.. Heath's lucid logic is to har-
monize existing contradictions in libel
law and to make the philosophy of the
law more scientific. Nobody in his
right mind wants to diminish news
paper responsibility, on the one hand,
or to promote Matchmaking, on the
ether hand. At present we have relics
of the ancient regime when Publicity
was prohibited and Parliamentary bod
les were secreted. The opening of the
doors even to Publicity as a remedy
for the abuses of Trusts. is new Come
and slamming the door in fine face of
the newspaper. in an antiquity which
has no proper place in/ modern life.
Common law is itself the subject of
evolution, since the social ASPECT has
been revolutionized since George the
Fourth, was puzzled over his dumping.
Honest criticism of public officials is
the chief remedy for the bad Jobs of
the Bad Boss. The presumption of
malice in publication is a mischeyious
assumption. Mr.. Heath Celebrates his
view with fine discrimination and
while he thinks highly of the iurist
who never retires without saying his
prayers to the Common Law. the ora
tor of the day pays uncommonly SEN
sible tribute to the evening oblation 70
