Thou Shalt Not Hear False Wi,neSs
Against Thy Neighbour"

Mr.. Editor ALLOW me through the col
umns of your paper to call the attention of
your readers to the ScdRddlous JdIsehOOds,
not to say Dicked and conscious lies with
which Judge Poland has been DETAINED and
bounded by a portion of the newspaper
press, as well as by "suiall politicians"
during the last twelve months.
Twill first refer you TO what is so flip
PANTY styled the poland Gag Law"
which you are asked to condemn, simply
on account of its opprobrious title, which
the enemies Of Judge Poland for some sin
istel motive have seen tit to give it. l be-
leve il is now conceded by every honest
and intelligent person, at least, the fact is
well known that never public man was
more scandalized and thoroughly abused
than has been the Hon. Luke =. Poland by
the so-called independent Press like the
"NelO York Sum-" the Springfield RepubH-
can" and other baby papers Of that ill, in
respect TO that act of Congress comforting
jurisdiction upon the Criminal Court of the
District of Columbia. Since public atten-
ton has been called 10 the meaning and in
tent of that law, it has been seen and ac-
knowledged by the whole country that the
"act' was not only wise but necessary for
the general welfare. Aud yet it has been
spread broadcast over the country, by de-
signing and unprincipled men as a base
and tyrannical law, carried through Con-
gress by the wicked device Of Judge Po-
land.
The law is brief and here quote 1t in
full:
An act comforting jurisdiction upon the
Criminal Court of the District of Column
bia, and for that purpose,
BE il enacted by The Senate and House OF
Representatives of The United States Of
AmeJ'ica in Congress assembled, That the
