Mr. MacFarlane quoted the libel suit of
Zachary Chandler against Buell., and OBJ
served that Buell. had been brought to the
District of Columbia from Michigan and
tried. He quoted the decision of Judge
Dillon, who said that libel was an offense
against the United States, and, therefore,
an Indictment might be found and the fugi-
tive brought back
Speaking of the former attempt to get
Mr. Dana to Washington, he called atten
ton to the fact that in all its essentials IT
waS entirely different from the present
case. In that case Justice Biatchford had
dismissed the attachment against Mr..
Dana because the warrant was issued by
court that could not give him a jury trial,
Which cannot be denied to any man under
since that decision the Supreme Court of
the District had been established, and
there Mr. Dana could have, and would
have if he asked it, a trial by jury.
He dis cusSed in detail the technical OBJ
jections the defense made to the manner
and form Of the Indictment, and offered
en- answer to each objection. MacFarlane
had about thirty law books, reports of fed
eral ard state courts at hand, and he made
no statement without backing 1t up with
precedent after precedent
In concluding Mr.. MacFarlane said:
"Your honor, l think We have made out
fully a right to have this order granted.
The only further suggestion, in closing my
argument, is that L desire to make on this
question of REMOVAL, Notwithstanding all
the cases submitted. if you hold that the
District of Columbia does not come within
tunity to review that decision by granting
the application and holding the defendant
so that proceedings for reviewing may be
taken. l should like to submit a brief"

Several cases were cited in support of this
contention. Crimes against the District of
Columbia. he argued, are necessarily crimes
against the United States, owing to the
popularity of the local government of the
District.
Our proposition here is said he, that
the circulation in any district. county or
state of a newspaper published in another
district, state or county containing a libel
is a publication there in the district, state
or county by circulation and may be prose-
cuted there We stand on the proposition
that the circulation of any newspaper con-
tanning libel that, having been a conse-
quence of publication known to the editor
at the time he composed this and prepared
it, and it being of consequence known to
him that it would be circulated in these
other districts makes it separate and
complete offense in every jurisdiction where
that paper is circulated

COAL FROM THE LUNGS.
Several Tons of 1t Brenthed Out I'm n
Lifetime

we breathe oxygen in and coal out Experiments
sho" that eight ounces troy of solid carbon are
given OIL by pair Of human lungs every "a hours.
That would be 6l4 tons in life of IS years What
would that amount of carbon be worth In the form
OF diamond: A diamond is pure carbon
The price Of diamonds concerns very few peonIe
but the condition of the lungs is a matter of
supreme Importance in this season Of changing
weather. Unless the lungs be strong they cannot
expel the carbon. A cold attacking them directly
weakens them.
Any depression, though 1t seems to effect only
one organ, must be overcome by bracing the whole
body For this purpose the doctors prescribe stun
lants.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky is highly priced by the
medical profession, because 1t rouses the latent
energy of the body, creates keen appetite and is
lnvlgoratfng and nerve soothing. II the use Of 1t
We're followed by injurious reaction, the doctors
would not commend it. The fact is that Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky stimulates the organs to do
their work properly, that all ground gained L.
held.
Hence, It is a standard mediclne-a household
remedy of proven value. It is especially useful In
the spring to fight those obstinate colds that 50
often develop into pneumonia and bronchitis.
