The law of libel ladefective and news-
papers at present may bo the prey of pro.
feesional pettifoggers, and of persons in-
fluenced by individual or personal malice.
During the heat of an eleetion campaign
e newspaper says sharp things about its
political opponents and naturally rouses
thole anger ; and for the sake of niece
annoyance or bud an action for libel is
entered for some trifling expression which
is generally justifiable. The great curse
of the law of libel in operation is that
here and there in every community there
are occasionally professional mon, mark-
ed exeeptions to their honorable tease
and calling, who take up worthless et/WM
for worthless eborsoters, simply as mat -
tore of speculation. In such cases the
newspapers win but their victories are
barren, and the coats wine out of their
earnings because the nneueceseful plain.

able assistance of our Reform imp -
porters and those of our Conservat-
ive friends who see fit to support
us, we intend doing in the future as
we have done in the past -what we
consider to be right -and turn out
a newsy local paper. Politics have
been a canker worm for years in
Brussels but this new remedy about
to he pre scribed will fall far short
of effecting a cure. In local affairs
Tom Paso, while under our control,
has never urged the claims of a
Reeve or a Councillor because ho
was n Reformer and as far as the
appointment of officiele is concern-
ed we have pursued the same
course. Any nndertaking prompted
by revenge and malignity rests on
a bed fonndation and often canses
loos and trouble to the prnmotere.
