INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

Judge Smith, at Lebanon, a
few days ago, dissolved the liq-
uor dealers injunction against
the crusading women of Morrow,
Warren county, on the ground
that the plaintiff was engaged in
an unlawful business, and could
not claim the protection of the
law in its violation. This is a
very important decision, and will
exercise a tremendous influence
in the Woman's War on Whisky.

STATISTICS.

The New York World, in sum-
ming up a long article on the
subject of the liquor traffic, its
growth and consumption in this
country, gives statistics to show
that from January 1, 1873,to De-
cember 81, 1873, the entire sum
paid at wholesale for liquors in
the United States, amounted to
$1s1, 1888, ,736-enough,i it remarks,
at usual retail rates, to buy out
the richest State in the Union, to
pay the national debt, or to sup
port or carry on another five-year
war.

The Checkered Experience of a Young

The Checkered Experience of Young
Man Who Took Horace GreeIey's Ad-
vice.
The Eureka Sentinal says: We
have been interviewed by a
young man who seemed to have
had his share of troubles and mis-
fortunes in the world. Six months
ago he left a good situation in
the State of Delaware, and taking
Greeley's advice and started
West. Arrived at Crestline, Ohio,
he had his pocketpic of a fine
gold watch and 5000 in green
backs. Left without money he
telegraphed home for assistance,
which he received in a few days
and again started On his journey.
He got as far as Council Bluffs
and started to walk across the
railroad bridge which spans the
Missouri at that point; half way
over he heard a rumbling behind
him, and, on looking back, saw a
train of cars in his rear. To run
forward was impossible; to re-
treat sudden death, and, in his
excitement, while climbing over
the outside rail of the bridge he
fell into the river. He was res
cued more dead than alive by an
old negro, who put out to his as
sistance. The next day he con-
tinued going out West arriving at
Ogden minus his trunk, hat, etc.
One night at the junction was
sufficient for him, and westward
he went. On the road he met
with a "greeny" from the COW
countries, who wanted the young
man to go to his place to work.
an offer which was thankfully ac-
cepted. Hardly had he found
his new acquaintance when a |
third party commenced manipu-
lating some cards. He was sur
rounded by a crowd, among them !
our young man, who took great
interest in the game; in fact, SO
great was his interest that he
was minus about $230,all he had,
in trying to catch the deuce of
hearts, which, with two other
cards, the dealer was earelessly
throwing around on a blanket.
He thinks he has seen enough Of
the West, and arrived here yes
terday morning on his road to
P:oche, intending to go to the
San Juna mines.

GAINING GROUND,

The temperance movement is
gaining ground in every part of
the State. The ladies, God bless
them, are doing a wonderful

spectacle newspaper in the State
favors the temperance crusade,
and urges the determination Of
the liuuor traffic. H

The Corporation.

The great modern power which
masses capital, aa oontrasted with the
great ancient power which massed
men, is capable of immense benefit. if
its energies are beneficently exercised,
and at the came time liable to inflict
great wrongs il not held in firm and
wise control. From it's constitution
the corporation is prone to run into
tyrrany. 1t is capable OF destroying
no less than Of serving. FROM the
stage of massed capital, it is easy to
pass to that Of msssed extortion and
fraud. Just here appears the necessity
OF legislative or osher check. ''Un-
regulated" +" says the writer on this sub
lect. to whom we alluded yesterday,
"it has organized exaction, pam pered
fraud, systematiaed pillage, given cas-.
ties to corruption. made dukes and
arch-dukes of plunderiug ,speculators.
and afforded but too good excuse to
the craze that shrieks against capital
ITSELF" How this great power of con-
struction shall be made to work within
its proper limits, and for good and not
detriment. is problem devo!yea upon
this active and practical age to be
worked out.

Two to Make q Bargain I.

1t is not necessary for us to revise
what We have. said in reference to the
public debt. because the Union .Herdld
chooses, for political purposes. to con-
slider It as antagonistic to the settle.
ment effected last winter. The only
question to be considered is, whether
creditors will think as we'll of it as We
do. As debtors, we may desire and
may offer to pay fifty cents on the dol.
lar, but we can't compel anybody to
take it. It is not likely, therefore.
that Democrats, as such, any more
than Republicans, as suoh, will "go
for" the public debt-if that means
that they will push forward anxiousIy
to pay it in full, interest aud all. Who.
ever may be in power would no doubt
be glad to compromise the debt, but
there are othor parties to be consulted
IS to whether it can be done or not.
Our own preference would be to pay
the honest debt in full. and throw
overheard entirely all the rascally new
claims which have been rnn up in the
last few years. AS to pledges, &c., of
which the Union Herald prates. that is
all in my eye.
