The saIus-Grady Bill Hearing.

Some five hundred newspaper men Of
the state appeared before the Governor.
Ia Harrisburg, Tuesday, for the purpose
OF protesting against the Salus Grady
negligence bill. The hall OF the House,
where the hearing was held, was crowd
ed and the arguments for the newspaper
publishers were made by Chas Emory
Smith Of the Philadelphia Press and
Rep. Thomas V. Cooper, while the
arguments for 1t were made by two
paid Philadelphia lawyers
In commenting on the hearing the
Pittaburg Dispatch says: ut must not
be forgotten that the publications Of
which the promoters Of the bill com
plain were not negligently made. They
were made deliberately. IL they were
malicious CT false the present libel laws
offer every opportunity for redress.
Making negligence crime will nos pre-
vent the intentional commission OF
crime. Nor will making negligence in
publication a subject for punitive dam
ages prevent the publication Of deliber-
ately written articles In other words,
II a newspaper publishes in the public
interest careful and deliberate criti-
cism Of a public official or public act
that would not be in violation OF the
existing Law, which prohibits malicious
or false publications, the new law max
Ing negligence crime will not serve 10
prevent IT. But ii will by placing In
the hands Of the interruptions shyster
and baclrmailer weapon for vexatious
litigation, serve to etife and suppress
legitimate criticism. Thus IL will not
slone be ineffective but iniquitons, in
jrrious to the public, whose liberties
depend upon the freedom Of the press.
and ruinous to the newspaper interest
as mn agency for the dissemination OF
nsws Of public interest"
The Governor has not yet made
known his decision.

CURRENT EVENTS.

Up the time of its attack upon the
liberty of the press, the late Legislature
did not do so badly. The school leSis-
lation il adopted is generally considered
good: and it is to be hoped that the new
road law, which creates State Roads
Department, and apprcpriates money
for its support, will not be without re-
suits.
If the Governor yetoes the libel bill
there will be but little cause for COM
plant, and whether he does or not its
passage, and the storm Of indignation
that followed, did some good in the
squelching of several franchise, dam
and canal bills, that were considered
gratis and which were Immediately
dropped by the gang.
When the new Roads Department
g.ts into working order. we suggest that
they consider the matter Of new surveys
entirely new roads. For instance one
cannot get ont of Butler, at present, on
a public road without climbing a hill,
, whereas road up valley, and around
the hill would do far better
The expenditures of the Postoffice
Department of the National Govern
ment will be about hundred and forty
millions for the coming year, and Post

organization of his department, and also
an investigation Of alleged abuses,
which will be watched with interest by
the public. 'r-~

Commenting upon the disclos-
ures made with respect to the
Littauer case, the Brooklyn Citizen
says: "We have long been of the
opinion that veritable saturnalia
OF corruption prevailed in official
circles in Washington during the
Spanish-American war, and if ever
the full facts are revealed, it will
be found that Congressman Lit
tauer was not alone among high
officials to benefit illegitimately out
of the needs of the country"
Doubtless very large number of
people agree with the Citizen. 1t
is evident that the Republican
party cannot be depended upon to
provide the investigation that will
reveal any considerable portion of
the corrupt practices. The people
will find it necessary to elect
Democratic Congress in order that
they may have an investigation
that will investigate.-The Com

the pledges of the platform? Shall
we compromise by nominating
loyal Democrats on a compromise
platform that is constructed for
the purpose of deceiving honest
voters and currying favor with
selfish interests? Shall we COM
promise on the trust question by
advancing the undemocratic prin-
ciple that some trusts may be
good and therefore entitled to pro-
lection in their plains for looting
the people? Shall we compromise
on the question of popular election
of Senators by announcing that
until trust-controlled Senators are
willing to take their chances be-
fore the whole body of voters we
will not further agitate that mat
ter? Shall we compromise on the
asset currency question by an
nouncing ourselves in favor of
some system that will permit the
financiers to expand or contract
the currency as best suits their
selfish interests? Shall we COM
promise on the question of ex-
travagant waste of the peoples
money by declaring that it is all
right to spend it extravagantly?
The papers that favor COM
promise should not hesitate to
specify the issues upon which they
are willing to compromise. 1t is
easy to deal in glittering generali-
ties, but generalities do not throw
light on the matter. If any paper
can show wherein compromise may
be effected without desertion OF
Democratic principles it should
make haste to do so.-The Com

Senator German is the last man
to be doomed by the reorganizers
for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency. German says that
he wants to make the fight next
year upon the tariff. We cannot
help but wonder if the Maryland
Senator kept his face straight when
he was giving out that statement.
1t will be remembered that when
the Democratic party was in power
back in '93 German was one of the
few Democratic Senators who
turned traitor, and constantly voted
with the Republicans, when the
great fight over the Wilson bill
came up. in the Senate. The re-
organizers don't want any issue.
The difference between a reorgan-
izer and a Republican is so small
that it couldn't be detected with
the most powerful microscope ever
invented Lamar Democrat,

Compromise on What?

One of the Democratic newspa-
pers that has never wavered in it's
Democracy before surprises its
friends by the following:
"The way to succeed is by union.
Union must be upon the platform
that is' more or less of a COM
promise. We cannot all get what
we want, even in political plat
forms. II is sound policy to take
what we can get-and then try
next time for more. The COM
promise platform upon which the
Democrats can win next year will
be a Democratic platform. Itmust
not be written by the disorganizers
or the malcontents. 1t must rep
resent the true spirit of Democ-
racy, unaffected by the plutocratic
thieves - masquarading as the
business interests. 1t should be a
platform of opposition-opposition
to the spectacular methods and
dangerous policies of the present
whited-sepulchre administration at
Washington. Upon such a plat
form, with a Democratic candi-
date, the Democratic hosts can
overwhelm the rough rider in the
midst of the political sea-"
Itshould have been more specific.
1t should have pointed out the
issues upon which compromise
may be made. If something must
be yielded by those who remained
true to the party and it's platforms,
it should not hesitate to point out
the things which may be yielded.
Shall we compromise upon the
issue of Imperialism, and thus
acquiese in the doctrine that a re-
public may exist half citizen and
half subject? Shall we COM
promise on the question of govern
ment by injunction and acquiese
in the doctrine that under some
circumstances federal judges may
rise superior to legislative enact
ment and become at once law
makers, judges and executivesf
Shall we compromise on the money
question and give consent, either
openly CT tactly, to the theory that
the money issuing function of the
government may under certain
conditions be delegated to banks
and rings and cliques? Shall we
compromise on the tariff question
and declare that while opposed tc
the protective tariff system as a
whole we submit to it on the
ground that opposition toit will
result in alternating the support Of
some Democrats whose loyalty to
tariff protected corporations is
stronger than their loyalty to Dem
ocratic principlesP Shall we COM
promise by promulgating real
Democratic platform and then
nominating candidates whose
whole political existence demon
strates that they will not carry Out
