If no offence has been committed in Washington of course there should be and could be no trial here. If an offence has been committed in this city then both Nbeller and libelled are apparently agreed that the constitution and justice and com- mon sense require that the trial should be here. The law is direct and unmistakable and unwavering in its support of the finding of the District grand jury that an offence has been committed here. Merrill, in his work on Newspaper Libels, the latest American law book on that subject, states the result of the decisions very clearly, and since he is himself a newspaper man as well as a lawyer it ts to be assumed that he gives to the law the most favorable construction to- ward the newspapers of which it is fairly susceptible. Voicing the unquestioned and unquestionable law on the subject, he says: “If a single copy of the newspaper con- taining the libel is published (i.e., sold or circulated) in the State, even though it was printed in another State, civil or erim- inal proceedings can be maintained against the author or publisher in either the State where the paper was printed, or where the one copy was circulated, or in both States.” Again he says: “It is a crime in any State to cingulate a libel there which was printed in another jurisdiction.” There are Amer- jean cases in which this undoubted law has been applied by upholding indictments brcught in one state for newspaper libels printed in another state. In view of the condition of the law the appeal to the constitution for a trial where the offence compiained of in the present case has been committed is a boomerang. That is precisely the place where the libelled is seeking to secure the libeller’s trial, and it is the very place which the libeller is shunning. The newspapers oughi to see that this is not a case of outrage upon the constitution and furnishes no ex- cuse for causing the proud Bird o’ Freedom to scream. There is no doubt whatsoever that the District indictment of the libel committed here by Mr. Dana is sustained by law. The only question :n doubt, and that has not been seriously considered in the press’s constitutional discussion of the subject, is whether the libeller can be brought to Washington against his will to answer for the offence here committed. If he had violated the criminal law of the District in the ordinary way by being guilty of some prohibited act while personaily within the District limits, he would be clearly a fugi- tive from justice and our court could reach him. Or if committing this offence from outside the District he had thereafter ven- tured within the District, our court could arrest him. But in this case the offender remains carefully outside of the District in the place from which he projected his astral body, so to speak, into the District to the violation of one of its laws. A New Yorker might not with impunity so far as our court is concerned send poison, as in the Graves case, to murder a life in this District; nor could he with that finpunity send an obscene letter to murder morals here. This being the case, can a New Yorker send poison to murder a private reputation in Washington without render- ing himself liable to be likewise seized and punished by the District court? If the libeller’s arm is long enough to reach into this jurisdiction, to strike at a local repu- tation, and to violate a law of the United States, should not the arm of the United States and of the outraged law be long enough to reach to and grasp the libeller? These are interesting questions about which editors and other men may reason- ably differ. The Star hopes that they will receive thoughtful consideration whatever view may be taken of the appropriate an- swer, and ventures to suggest to 4 number of its esteemed cotemporaries that they discuss this phase of the matter and give the overworked constitution a rest. If Mr. Dana and Mr. Laffan are brought for trial to Washington that venerated doc- ument will not suffer the slightest shock. If on the other hard they succeed in evad- ing trial in the District for the offence here committed, they will nevertheless be punished for that offence by banishment from the most beautiful and fascinating of American cities. The threatening District indictment, like the flaming sword at the gates of Eden, will warn and repulse them from the national capital. If the President —not this President, but some other Presi- dent—should wish to appoint Mr. Dana Secretai of War in recognition of his military reputation for undaunted bravery on land and sea, it would be annoying to the latter to be compelled to decline the honor, because he feared arrest on his arrival in Washington. Perhaps after all it would be wiser for the culprits to quit dodging as quasi-fugitives from justice, to face the music like men, and to have the trouble over quickly. —-—- 02 A Maryland man has been detected in the possession of three simultaneous offices. He has gradually become an election in- spector, physician to the county jail and a member of the town council, and now there is some jealous man ready to put a check to this very interesting exhibition of enter- prise. Inasmuch as the case occurs in a locality where offices are said to be very scarce the effort to bring the pooh-bah to book for his greed is easily understood. soe ‘The winds were not gp boisterous today and so the post office force was increased to one hundred and eleven men, The iron frame work that has been doing the “‘alto- gether" so long is now nearly covered. —__—_~reo The seriousness of the investigation con- ducted yesterday afternoon into the char+ acter of the work in the new school build- ing in southeast Washington cannot pre- vent the humorous side of that episode from being apparent. The federation of labor had made a commendable though slightly spectacular Roman sacrifice; some of its members had confessed that they had been guilty of doing bad work and the fed- eration had in effect denounced them by attacking the inspector who passed their work and the contractor who employed them. There was every reason to suppose that the representations of the federation as to the condition of the building were correct because the informants were the very men whv had done the work. It seemed hardly likely that a good workman whose fidelity to his duty is almost his sole stock in trade would wrongfully accuse himself of unworkmanlike conduct. The federation evidently took this natural view of the situation, determined to sift the mat- ter to the bottom and in a notable spirit of fidelity to the public interest carried the case to headquarters. Tests yesterday were made under conditions most favorable completeness and reliability; the walls w examined and every charge was investigate in the presence of a committee composed of the leaders of the building trades of the District. Although the official report is not at this writing filed with the Commis- sioners, it is unquestionable that every charge was substantially disproved. Some of the work was rough, but the building was ‘Shown to be in a perfectly safe condi- tion. The labors of the confessed bad workmen were found not to be as faulty as they had themselves supposed, and against their will they were largely vindicated from the charges which they had brought against themselves. The federation should not be discouraged by the results of these tests from keeping a vigilant watch upon public buildings in this city, and from reporting in the public in- terest any faulty work thereon which it may believe to exist. The present investi- gation has had the good result of restoring confidence in the stability of the new school building, and it will be occupied when completed without uneasiness or ap- prehension. ——__+ + _____ The cruiser Montgomery, which has just returned to New York from a visit to Cen- tral American waters, has brought what may prove an unwelcome cargo for the American administration. Captain Davis, the commander of the Montgomery, was sent down south to investigate for this government the circumstances connected with the death of C. W. Renton, an Ameri- cen citizen, located in Honduras, with a thriving trading business and a promising growth of cocoanut and crange trees. Mr. Renton was killed a little more than a year ago by a band of rival settlers who coveted his property. There was a mock trial, which resulted in the acquittal of the ac- cused, and after many months the case Was brought to the attention of the United States government by Renton’s widow, who managed to reach these shores with great difficulty and danger. ‘The report of Captain Davis is understood to be con- clus in proving that a gross outrage was committed on the rights of this American and his family, and that there has been Practicaily no show of justice in the case so far. The Honduras government is said to be now willing to sift the matter to the bettom. This anxiety Is thought to be due to the sending of a warship to those Waters. With the case of Renton added to the State Department budget, there will be no lack of business for many months to come, even though the Spanish govern- ment is about to apologize for the Allianca affair and the British government has ex- plained away its apparent snub in the Nic- aragua ultimatum. 2 It is expected that Congressman Wise and Mr. Russell Harrison will give over any belligerent ideas either of them may have entertained.
