IniunctIons Against Liquor Sellers
Sustained.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, February 21.-Last
summer Judges Phillips and Foster, holding
the circuit court of the United States at
Topeka, Kan, enjoined the state authorities
of Kansas from prosecuting criminally per-
law of that state. The case afterwards came
before Judge Caldwell, in this city, on final
hearing and he has just filed an opinion sus-
tanning a demurrer to the bills and has dis
solved the injunction before granted In the
cases.
He holds that the circuit court of the United
States has no right to grant the injunction,
the following being his reasons for making
such rule: Because the plaintiffs have an in
adequate remedy at law; second, because a
court of equity mas no jurisdiction to enjoin
or otherwise Interfere with criminal prose-
cutions in courts of law; third. because an
act of congress expressly prohibits courts of
the United States from enioIning proceed
ings in the state courts, except in cases of
bankruDtcy

AmerIoan Silver OnIv.

WASHINGTON. D. c., February ia story
has gained considerable circulation here to
the effect that the president has expressed
his willingness to sign a bill for the free
coinage of silver produced from the mines
of the United States. There Is nothing very
surprising in this. 1t will simply apply the
principle of protection to silver mining. The
government now buys 100000 ounces of
silver monthly. This is the equivalent of
the product of the mines of the United States
as nearly as can be estimated.
