A recent decision on the ques tion of press privilege by Judge Cooley, of ,the Michigan supreme court, is in consonance with sound conclusions. The Detroit Post and Tribune, having commented in severe terms on the official con duct of a police justice, and having charged official malfeasance upon him in-direct terms, was promptly proceeded against for libel by the offended magistrate. The defend ant's plea was that to call public attention to a matter of public concern by criticising official mis conduct was a patter of privilege, and that by presumption of law a paper.'s motives in doing so must be deemed proper and hot mali w cious. In his charge to the jury the judge who tried the case held that there was no such privilege, and that a publication arraigning and condemning the conduct of a public magistrate was subject to the same presumptions and the same law of libel as a publication in regard to the-character or acts of a private person. The supreme court reverses this ruling and in delivering the decision Judge Cooley said: No declaration of this or any other court can convince the com mon reason that there is not a plain and palpable distinction here. Few wrongs can be greater than the public detraction which lias only abuse, or profit from abuse, for its object. Few duties can be plainer than to challenge public at tention to official disregard of the principles which protect public and personal liberty. The matters discussed in the publication in question were of grave public con cern, and therefore it was privil eged. That is an admirable statement of the true character of malicious libel, and a clear, terse and com prehensive presentation of the right and duty of the press to take proper notice of the official acts of public servants. Judge Cooley gives no warrant for calumny. He says there is a "plaiu and palpable distinction" between this case and "publications .that involve merely private gossip and scandal." His decision rests on common sense and will com mend itself to the approval of the intelligent throughout the coun try. Few acts arc baser than ma licious assault on personal charac ter. The press or the tongue that wilfully maligns character by reason of malice or with the hope of gain, commits an" outrage that would not be too severely punished if it were treated as a felony. But in plain, candid criticism or manly denunciation of official mis conduct, the press is simply dis charging a high and imperative duty and the bench is that part of our system of government in which wrong doing is de servedly condemned with the greatest severity. Has congress a right to lay a duty for any other purpose than to raise money wherewith "to pay the debts and to provide for the common defense and general wel fare of the United States?" makkiep!
