What does he mean? Does it fol-
low that, because the English money
classes have closed the mints of
India against silver, he, congress-
man Boen, is going to abandon the
peoples party platform? God forbid!
There are rumors that Mr.. Boen has

The South Carolina liquor law is
less than two weeks old and the
courts have already struck it two
staggering blows. The United
States circuit court has decided that
the railroads can carry liquor into
the state, the law to the contrary
Notwithstanding, and a South Caro-
lima court has decided that the whole
scheme is unconstitutional. The dis
penSary system will probably be dis
pensed with.-Exchange
That is the way it goes. When
ever the people try to improve their
condition the judges rush to the res
cue and sweep away the acts of the
law-making power. Isn't it about
time to confine the courts to the
business of deciding the petty con-
tests and sQuabbles of individuals?
Neither man nor God ever intended
that they should be the sole rulers of
millions of human beings; substitute
ing for the aspirations and purposes
of the noble mass of mankind their
dirty little network of special plead
ings, wire-drawn deductions and bot
tOmless subtleties. There are good
judges here and there-splendid
gentlemen-but they are ready to
confess that their class are usurpers
of authority never conferred up
on them, and that they are advanc-
ing upon dangerous paths.
South Carolina tried to abolish the
evils of the saloons; and at the same
time not interfere with the liberty of
the people to eat and drink what
they pleased, and before the expert
ment could be fairly tested-before it
was too weeks old-the courts Jump
into the ring, with cow-hide boots on,
to trample the people and their pur-
poses into the mud. The whole
thing is damnable.
