Mrs MCFARLASD's LIBEL SUIT Since
the pnblicatiod of the intercepted letter
from Richardson no one has believed
Mcfarland would be declared guilty Of
murder. That letter was more dsms-
ging to the dN.Yased than anything brough,
ont at the protrscted trail. We read the
original soon after the first shooting. and
made some comments. which so enraged
Mrs. Mcfarland that she ordered her
Boston lawyers to bring an action of libel
against the editors and proprietors Of the
Transcript for $40 600 damages. Under
the laws Of Massachusetts, such an aciion
could not be sustained, snd under these
liberal statutes in favor OF free journalism
there was no libel. Richardson reported
that he opposed this action. In. Mira.
McFsrlsni thought it wonld frighten
other prwsrsprrs from comments on the
case. No Boston paper mentioned this
foolish snit. which so disappointed aIrs.
McFarlnna's friends that they published
the fac' in the New York and western pa
pers. The snit never came to trial, being
abandoned before the sitting OF the court

CHAT DRAFTED CALI AoAIN"-We
have somewhere read of an old farmer
who, whenever he heard any fuss or up
roar about the barn-ysrd or stable. was
wont to exclaim:" "There, that drafted
calf is chawin' the old mares tail sgain!"
The public have come to regard ''our dis
tinguished Senator" Pomeroy. in sbout
the same light that the old farmer did the
calf. Whenever there is gobbls. . steal,
or bribery case. brought to light in
Congress, one can guess that Pomeroy
has Q finger in it. and not miss his guess.
The Georgia bribery case is bis latest
speculation. succeeding right upon the
heels Of the Howard Investigation. Pom.
sroy is not directly implicated. bot bis
brotber-in-law. the ever-pressnt Gaylord.
was the agent. Wherever Gaylord Is,
there is a steal, and Pomeroy is interested
in it.
