Another Useless Effort to Find . Place
for Blair.

| Tho latest proposition for the disposal OF
the Hon. HENRY w. BLAIR comes from the
Washington Post. a newspaper which Mr..
BLAIR would probably include in his pri-
vate catalogue OF warm friends:
"why wouldn't the Hon. HENRY ". BLAIR be the
proper person to represent the United States Ch ~
Mr.. BLAIR would not be proper person
to represent the United States in Chill for
reasons which are we'll known to every
student Of political history. They differ from
the reasons which render him unfit to repre-
sent this country at Pekin or St. Petersburg.
and introduce some variety into the con.
tinuous and monotonous story OF his dis
qualifications.
SO far as is known. Mr.. BLAIR has not
yet insulted the present Government Of
Chill. 1t has not been in existence long
enough for him to insult It, But II the
Washington Post will procure copy Of
House Of Representatives Report No. $780,
first session Of the Forty-seventh Congress-
and turn to pages 4O1-506 Of that document,
it will learn why Mr.. BLAIR is not q proper
person to represent us In Chill.
By perusal Of Mr.. BLAIR's testimony
before the committee investigating the mat
ter Of the LANDRAU and CocHET claims, and
the performances OF Mr.. JACOB r. SHIP
HERDS celebrated Peruvian Company. the
Post will discover why the Hon. HENRY W.
BLAIR, as the retained attorney OF SHIP
HERD and the holder Of stock in SHEPHERDS
enterprise, came to be known in those days
as Peruvian BLAIR" and why he is not
likely, under any circumstances, to be a
welcome parsonage at Santiago, the capital
OF the nation which Mr. BLAIR described as
"A European province" and accused of bad
faith and cowardly insolence.

MrcHMb preliminary injunction, the
effect Of which was to compel the defend
ants to remove their dry dock.
The reluctance Of American courts gener-
ally to grant mandatory injunction be-
fore the trial, grows out OF the fact that such
an Injunction In nine instances out OF ten
virtually determines the case In favor Of the
plaintiff in advance OF the trial, and upon
affldavits instead Of on tho oral testimony
Of witnesses. But this objection really did
not apply in the Huron case. for Judge Nc
ADAMS decision that the horse should be al
lowed to run left the question as to the right
OF tho owner to derive any benefit from his
running still open and undetermined. That
could be and can be Irrigated hereafter. The
presence OF the horse in the race did not
harm the defendants or prejudice them In
their defence, while it did enable the owner
and the Court to ascertain just what he was
entitled to recover from the Coney Island
Jockey Club In case 1t should eventually be
held that tho horse rightfully participated
In the contest.
The provisional remedy OF a mandatory
Injunction is 30 stringent in Its character,
and 30 liable to abuse. that 1t should be
allowed only In the very clearcst cases.

don no international Incident occurred which
stirred 90 many souls to indignation here at
home. and required Of our representative In
England such prompt, firm, and patriotic
action as the arbitrary arrest and imprison-
ment OF certain persons Of Irish birth, but
claiming OF our Government protection as
American ctizene. The astounding indiffer-
ence displayed by Mr.. LOWELL throughout
that episode subjected him to criticism
harsher and perhaps juster than has
been provoked by the conduct OF any diplo-
matte officer Of tho United States ever sta
toned at London. It grieved and astonished
many OF Mr.. LowEIL's sincerest friends
In his own country. 1t must have surprised
even his friends among the statesmen OF q
nation which, whatever may be Its faults,
has never turned deaf ear to the appeals
of Its subjects claiming the protection OF
the British flag. Mr.. LOWELL as II now
appears, was irritated by the demands Of
the Irish-Americans. He had no further
interest in the wrongs Of PADDY" than as
they afforded him opportunity for jest for
the amusement OF Tory peer.
The letter published by Lord CRANBRooK
exhibits tho late Mr.. JAMES RUSSELL
LOWELL In anything but II pleasant light.
II 1t had found Its way into print while he
was still Minister to Great Britain, 1t would
have rendered unavoidable his immediate re-
call by any American Administration which
respected itself and cared to maintain the
dignity Of Its embassies and to enforce the
habit OF discretion upon its ENJOYS.

Mandatory Injmnctions In Horse Racing.

The process OF mandatory injunction, such
as was granted by tho Superior Court in the
recent case OF tho race horse Huron, has
found much more favor in England than in
America. AS Judge MCADAM truly said,
however, the novelty OF the application was
no argument against it If it had solid sup
port in jurisprudence; and strong argu-
ment may be found in the peculiar facts OF
the Huron case for resorting to an excep-
tonal remedy.
There are two sorts OF preliminary in
functions known to lawyers. The ordinary
injunction Is simply restraining writ or
order prohibiting particular act or acts,
and usually operating only to keep the stu
alton OF the respective parties to the litiga-
ton unchanged until the controversy be-
tween them can be decided by the trial The
other and exceptional kind of injunction.
while in form merely n direction to refrain
from doing something, virtually amounts TO
q command to do something else. Thus In
tho Huron case an order forbidding the
Coney Island Jockey Club to exclude the
horse from the race for the Futurity Stakes
was. OF course. equivalent In effect to writ
OF mandamus commanding the club to per-
nit Huron to run.
Tho earliest injunction OF this mandatory
character which We recall as having been
granted In this city was issued out OF the
Supreme Court In 1856 on the application OF
