THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 21,. 1895—-TWELVE PAGES... THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. -March 21, 1893. hromsna: | Grospy S. NOYES... co opeceee Editor. I THE EVENING STAR has 2 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. Im order to avoid delays, on nc- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, bat simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. of the United States, &c. This statute re- fers only to diplomatic and consular_offi- cers of the United States on duty in for- eign countries, and is designed to prévent their corresponding with home newspapers |, and utilizing in their dispatches informa- tion obtained by them in their official capacity. It is altogether teo absurd to suppose that the United States could enact Statutes regulating the conduct éf minis- ters accredited to this government. Those functionaries are governed by the laws of their own lands just as ours dre governed: by the statute referred to. ‘They are, in, addition, governed by the code of diplo- matic usage in vogue at the coart ta- which they are accredited, but only 30 far as refers to their personal relations with the administration with which they. have dealings. = The impulse on ‘the part of newspapers to rush to thé rescue of newspaper men, called to account for libel, is a natural one, and ‘The Star would be the last to find anything blameworthy in such championship. For the sake, Rowever, of the reputation of the press, discretion should be observed in methods of defence. If one great newspaper is hystericky, maudlin and irrelevant in its discussion of such a matter, a number of imitative cotemporaries of gradually de- creasit.g size will echo its maunderings, exaggerating inevitably fiat which is wild- est and most unsound in the original ut- terance. This general statement is well exemplified by the comments on the indict- ment in the District of Mr. Dana and Mr. Laffan by perhaps a dozen newspapers, beginning with’ the New York Herald with its daity hint of a fresh outrage on priceless constitutional rights involved in the re- moval proceedings, and ending with the Alexandria Gazette, which, out-Heralding the Herald, announces the startling dis- covery that under a recent court decision in Mbel prosecutions in the District the gov- ernment and not the prosecutor foots the bills, while good motives as well as the truth must be proved in defence, and plain- tively inquires: “What show has the Con- stitution as long as such a decision shall stand?” Of course a glance into the most element- ary of law books would teach that in crim- inal prosecutions everywhere government is the prosecutor and pays the expenses; also that everywhere to justify in criminal libel good motives and justifiable ends as well as the truth must be proved; and finally that the alleged outrages on the Constitution, founded on the assumption that no offence has been committed in Washington, are the baseless fictions of an overheated imagination. Som2 people dcubt whether Mr. Dana and Mr. Laffan being in New York can be brought here against their will to answer for the offence which they have committed against our laws, but no one who knows anything whatsoever about the law of libel has the slightest doubt that, if the publica- tion complained of is a libel, an unmis- takable offence has been committed in this jurisdiction. It is a vain, irrational dis- turbance of the air, a mere waste’of breath and strength, to shriek appeals for aid from the corstitution, based on the notion that there is no District misdemeanor in the case. If Judge Brown should decide that Mr. Dana and Mr. Laffan cannot be brought here for triai against their will like other law-breakers, the decision would not and could not declare that no offence has been committed in the District. It would merely announce in effect that these constructive fugitives from justice cannot be extradited and that as long as the in- dicted persons keep out of the District the Washington court can not punish them for the alleged offence. If Mr. Dana or Mr. Laffan, waiving technicalities or shaking off timidity, should thereafter venture into Washington, he would quickly be arrested and put upon trial, and would thus re- ceive the most convincing proof that an in- dictable offence had heen committed here. As long as Mr. Dana and Mr. Laffan fear to attempt to ‘sustain their defamatory charge In this District, for so long a term doe8 the pending indictment sentence them to exile from the national capital. The equities as well as the law point to the District as a proper place of trial. A peculiarity of libel is that the libelled is really the man on trial, the issue being the truthfulness of defamatory charges against him. If he is acquitted his ac- cvser is convicted. Being the real de- fendant on the affirmative charges is he rot entitled to his jury of the vicinage? Is the man who libels better entitled than the man who 1s libelled to have the trial at his place of residence? The New York state law recognizes that the libelled has primarily this privilege by requiring the libeller , if he desires the trial in the county where he resides, to pay the expenses, if convicted, of the complainant in going to and from his place of residence to the place of trial and in attendance upon the trial. This state Iaw is cited merely as suggesting an analogy, and not as stat- ing the authority by which a United States court in New York is controlled, though it has been triumphantly quoted for the lat- ter purpose in one of the New York papers. It is a natural but of course mistaken New York impression that the Albany, legisla- ture makes laws governing the United States and its courts. Not content with outraging common sense by devising imaginary constitutional out- rages, some of the defenders of the in- dicted newspaper men have committed a fresh libel by speaking scornfully of the District’s judicial tribunal as a “‘petty, de- pendent court.” It is a United States court and the court of widest original juris- distion anywhere in the republic. Its judges are appointed for life by the Presi- dent of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Is it not at least as apt to be impartial as a state court, of which the judges are elected for a term of years on partisan tickets, in Tammany-controlled elections? Which is the more petty and dependent court? Which is the court that would be selected as his tribunal by one who sought only fair play? Which is the court that a libeller who feared nothing so much as impartial justice would desper- ately avoid? ——+ ++ ____ This is the first day of spring, according to science, and a right good day it is.

It is just as well to be accurate as to be incorrect. Some of the dispatches that have been sent out from this city constst- ing of arguments to defend Secretary Gresham's action in asking the Hawailan government to recall Minister Thurston contain the statement that the charge pre- ferred against the minister by the admin- istration {s founded upon a statute of the United States. This statute ts quoted and Proves to be that section which prohibits any diplomatic or consular officer from corresponding in regard to the public affairs of any foreign government with any pri- vate person, newspaper or other periodical, cr otherwise than with the proper officers > 6-2 The hopes of residents arottnd the vicin- age of 14th and T streets that Washington might possibly become a great oll center have been rudely blasted.~‘The~announee-. ment that an oll well had, been struck in’ edly caused great excitement in. this region, and visions of immediate fortunes and Sreat wealth have for some hours “Besa floating before the eyes of the inhabitants, The market value of abandoned cellars ad- vanced far beyond par, and the pick and shovel market became suddenly very act- ive. This morning, however, comes the sad news that what was first thought’ to be: @ genuine oll well is nothing in fact but remnants of the drippings of some old stock barrels that had been left standing over the: old well. But Washington doesn’t need oll wells in order to be happy, and blasting of hopes will nct prevent the cable cars from running at their usyal speed, and al- thou€h a few fond dreams of luxury have been spoiled, the inhabitants:are probably better off today than if the oll tap had been genuine. Se It was a cruel joke that some one played on Mrs. Lydia Dominis, ‘better known: as-{\ the ex-queen of Hawaii, when, a gor- gecusly-covered volume of the report of the board of public works ‘of Chieago was sent to her with the cards of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham enclosed. This explains the entry in Mrs. Dominis’ diary wherein she refers to her gratitude at receivng @ present from the President of the United States. It is probable that-at- the .time.the precious volume arrived, with all its wealth of illustrations of sewers and paving stones, Mrs. Dominis was. far. too -busx conspiring against the government to ex- amine its contents with the care that a well-regulated, patriotic ex-queen. should show in a matter of such momentuus im- portance. The President's indignant denial of the truth of the statement in Mrs. Dom- iris’ diary is thus completely verified and his reputation vindicated. The Star prints elsewhere in today’s issue quotations from several newspapers which do not think that it is one of the priceless, censtitutional rights of a New York editor, who has circulated in this District a libel upon a resident of this District, to escape accountability therefor to the courts of this District. To libel with’ impunity is not, in their opinion, one of the inalienable rights of the American freeman. Mrs. Lease insists on holding her place on the State Board of Charities in Kansas. She doesn’t propose to be a stateswoman out of a job. ——__+«_____. ‘There is a feeling that the. Postmaster.

The mayor of Brooklyn says that women would make excellent inspectors of streets, and thinks he would like to try the experi- ment. It may have been noticed by the observing, as it doubtless has by the mayor, that, while it is difficult to get men who will keep streets clean, restric- tive ordinances have to be placed about the cleanly zeal of feminine householders, whose ablutions of the public portion of their premises make weary the path of the pedestrian, and whose view of the cable slot as one vast, expansive dust-pan sys- |" tem maddens the tenders thereof. The day of feminine power over the streets will inaugurate the greatest sweeping reform yet known. ————+ + ___ Contide in the People. From “Municipality and County. There are two reasons why so much dis- trust of public officials exists in America teday. One is a full knowledge that the public affairs have in many instances been wretchedly handled, and the other origi- nates in a lack of knowledge of the actual amount of work, good or bad, performed by the council or commissioners in the course of their official life. The remedy for the first named deplorable condition is be- ing sought in all manner of devices, but there has been little attempt to change the second one.
