THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY. March 12, 1895. Coe S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. .Editor. [7 Im order to aveid delnys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. The recent indictment for criminal libel ef Messrs. Dana and Laffan of the New York Sun by the District grand jury, and the predicted resistance on the part of the Indicted to trial in this District, raise some anestions of interest, both to the news- papers and people of the country, and es- pecially perhaps to the citizens of Wash- ington, whose legal status is involved in the discussion. Some influential newspa- pers, yielding to a tendency with which Tke Star sympathizes to resist vigorously on suspicion any possible extension of an already unjustly burdensome law of libel, have criticised the indictment as estab- lishing a precedent under which “a New York publisher may be taken to Texas or California, Oklahoma or Alaska, or a San Francisco publisher brought to New York.” ‘This criticism is based upon a misunder- standing of the law. This District Is the only part of the republic in which libel is an offense against the law of the United States, and to no other place than the na- tional capital can the removal for trial be sought of a libeller, who has committed from a distance this offense against the local law. As an offset to this peculiar privilege is the unique and exclusive disa- bility announced in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that the District is not a state under the Con- stitution, whose people can sue in the fed- eral courts, and that its residents stand in this regard in a more unfavorable attitude toward the national judiciary than aliens. On the one hand they are debarred from seeking as citizens of a state the impartial justice of a United States court elsewhere against the citizens of another state. On the other hand offenders against the local law, who are found in any of the states, can be brought and are brought frequently to this jurisdiction for trial, and the lst of offences upon which such removals can be sought is broader in the case of the District than in that of any other part of the republic. The law makes both exceptions in the case of the District, the one to its injury, the other to its benefit. It is useless to argue now that these ex- ceptions ought not to exist. Until the law is changed—and it should be altered in both respects if altered at all—the only question that is pertinent is whether there is a difference between criminal libel and other offences against the local laws which entitles the libeller to a tender considera- tion of his wishes as to his place of trial that Is not accorded to any other law- breakers. It is claimed that as the Sun’s place of publication is New York no offence has been committed in the District of Colum- bia. This contention is based upon an idea of the law of libel as some news- papers might like to have it, and not as it actually is. If Mr. Dana had written a letter to a friend in Washington in which he imputed personal dishonesty to a busi- ness man of this city and had mailed it without showing it to any one in New York he would, when his friend here had received it and read it, have been guilty of an offence against the libel law of this District; and in this regard the local law dces not differ from that prevailing else- where in the United States. Is he any the less of an offender against this law be- cause the libel is printed instead of writ- ten, is circulated among several hundred people in this city instead of being con- fined to a single individual, and is shown to thousands of persons in New York be- fore it is sent here to do its work of defamation? Can a criminal violate our local laws with impunity merely by com- mitting a more aggravated crime of the same kind somewhere else? The case of Dr. Graves, who transmitted from Provi- dence to a woman in Denver a poisoned liquid, which was received by her in Den- ver and there caused her death, is cited by one newspaper as an instance, by way of contrast to the present case, in which the offender was properly removed for trial from his residence to Denver, where the crime was committed. Instead of furnish- ing a contrast, is there not an analogy be- tween the Graves murder and this libel? The offense in the present case is also attempted murder, not of life, but of repu- tation. The poison was concocted in New Yerk and transmitted to Washington. The reputation to be murdered is here, and net in New York, where the victim is com- paratively unknown. Why is not a mur- derous attack upon a Washington reputa- tion an offence committed in Washington, just as much as a murderous attempt upon the life of a resident of Denver is an of- fence committed in Denver? Does it make any difference that the would-be murderer in one case sent his poison from Provi- dence and in the other from New York? The victim of the libel in this instance is Not a newspaper or an editor or an official in public life, in respect to whom consider- able freedom of utterance is permitted by public opinion, but he is a business man whose personal integrity in the line of his business is injuricusly and maliciously as- sailed by a charge imputing moral turpi- tude. In the same place where the greatest damage to his reputation has been done or attempted he is entitled to vindication. wy tar, in common with all other news- Papers of the country, suffers from the in- justice of the present American law of libel, and has urged and continues to urge the substantial amendment of the law. There should be a distinction between actual and presumed malice, the import of libellous defamation should be confined within narrower limits, full effect should be given to the correction or retraction of un- intentional misstatements, a provision in respect to security for costs might dis- courage speculative black-mailing suits, and there are other particulars in which the law can with justice and propriety be amended. But the real grievances of the newspapers under existing law will never be remedied, if public sympathy is forfeited by an effort on the part of the press to secure @ protection,denied to everybody else,against responsibility for false and actually mali- cious defamation, committed against a per- son not in public life. Both the press and the public will be fairly and justly pro- tected only when the deliberately malicious libeller is adequately and certainly pun- ished, and unintentional defamation, except to the extent of reimbursement in the case of actual pecuniary damage, is not pun- ished at all. The effort of the press to se- cure a reasonable relaxation and modifica- tion of the law of libel to conform to the changed conditions of modern newspaper- making will inevitably be defeated if the public becomes convinced that the press's, view of newspaper privilege fs that formu- lated In the words of John Phoenix, who held that, as temporary editor of the San Diego Herald, he had “the liberty of say- ing anything he pleased about anybody without considering himself at all respon- sible.” —_ + e+ ____ There are indications that the Viriginia authorities are awakening to their duty in yespect to the terrible state of things at Jackson City and the alleged race track in that vicinity. Nothing could be easier than the complete eradication of the evils that for a long time have existed under the very nose of the officials. The results of the good work of the Washington police on Sunday point in this direction. There can be no question that the disreputable char- acters who frequent Jackson City and Alexander Island regard Washington as their living place, that they ‘cross the river merely to evade the strict laws of the Dis- trict ard that they have hitherto felt se- cure as long as they carried on their vio- lations of the laws of decency and morality on the soil of Virginia. It must be admit- ted that for a time it has appeared as though the Virginia authorities had been giving the gamblers and other questiona- ble characters every reason to believe that they were secure on the south shore of the river. The menace is greater to the Dis- trict than to Virginia; the colony of speak- easies, faro banks, pool rooms and other resorts has been more dangerous tq, the morality of Washington than to that of Alexandria. This city has had the most to lose, and yet it has been practically help- less without co-operation from the Vir- ginia authorities. Now that there seems to have been an awakening on the other side, there is an excellent prospect that the community at the end of the bridge may be squeezed out of existence by the meeting of the two legal forces. If the Virginia officials will drive the offenders on the bridge and the Washington police will drive them back they will undoubtedly soon come to terms. The District, how- ever, ought not to be put to the expense of jailing the offenders; they should be quartered in the institutions of the state whose negligence so far has permitted them to flourish in her borders. It might be best to’escort them out of the state and the District and warn them that to return would be to secure accommodations in the workhouse. — oe No one will be sorry to hear that China and Japan are about to kiss and make up. The news from the far east has been very monotonous of late, and even the lovers of strife and accounts of sensational hap- penings have tired of the one-sided strug- gle. China has been thoroughly humbled and Japan has been cleverly persistent and punctilious about peace negotiations until it has got just about what it wanted. There can be no doubt that the sympathies of the western world have generally been witf the more progressive nation, and that by the great majority the result will be hailed as a victory for modern ideas. The next thing will perhaps be the establish- ment of iong trousers and frock coats in conservative China, and the world will not have lost by the struggle that now seems ready to end. ———_+ += ____ The public will receive with pleasure the intelligence that the postal authorities are ‘proposing a new and improved form or design for postal money orders. Perhaps -the word improved as used above is super- fluous, since any change must, in the very nature of things, be an improvement. The present form is just about as bad as can be. Inconvenient in size, awkward in shape, hopelessly ugly in design, slovenly in typographical execution, and printed on poor paper, it would be discreditable as a ticket for a pawn shop; as a government issue it is simply disgraceful. Mr. Bissell cannot make the change too soon, nor too radical. If he has the necessary authority, it is to be hoped he will exercise it before he delivers up the portfolio of office to his successor. It would be just about the best souvenir he can give the country at part- ing. ———__+ + ____ To Dr. Cook, who is said to be contem- plating an exploring expedition to the ant- arctic regions, The Star has a single sug- gestion to make. It is that he arrange to send out a relief expedition in advance, to receive and care for his party when It ar- rives wherever it is going. This will make it much pleasanter for the men than to be hunted up after they get lost, and, besides, it will save their friends much worriment of mind as to whether they are ever going to get back or not. —_—__ ee —____ Seventy-eight men were put to work to- day on the post-office building.

Woman’s Rights. “Do you believe in woman's rights?” asked the American young man. “Certainly,” replied Lord Doddleby. “My flancee has $500,000 in her own right, and I consider it deuced charming in her.” Bargains. She took a hand at poker once; Indeed, ’twas very funny; She only played with white chips, ‘cause She got more for the money. Defined. said the small boy who thirsts for knowledge, “what's an ‘optimist?’ ” “An optimist, my son, is a man who never loses hope; one who, in spite of re- peated discouragements, believes every- thing will come out for the best; who is not discouraged by defeat and—" “Oh,” interrupted the small boy, “I know what you mean; a Washington base ball crank.” “Father,” Net That Color. When jolly folk a-hunting go, They know a thing or two— This thing they call the Violet Is anything but blue. High Headgenr. “That talk about passing laws to sup- press high theater hats didn’t amount to much, did it?” said the little man who always looks worried. “Not a great deal.” “It wasn’t the right way to go about it,” he went on with a sigh, as he did sums in arithmetic on some memoranda his wife had given him. “If they are going to do anything in that line they ought to see if they can’t pass a law to keep spring bon- nets from being so high."’ Cloudy Weather. Better.times are on the way— Coming after while, Might as well get ready now To greet ‘em with a smile. Heavy hang the clouds today, Chilly falls the rain, Leafiess limbs nod mournfully To the wind’s refrain. But the sunshine dearer seems, For the clouds and chill, And the sighing makes more sweet Blythe notes when they trill. So cheer up, for better days Are bound to come along; Might as well get r@dy now To greet em with a song.
