INJUNCTION GRANTED
Continued from First Page.

We want 10 get at these sureties. We
want 10 make them pay the last ducat
for which they are obliged on this bond
| can't help thinking of another instance
in the books, where pound Of flesh was
about TO be cut from the pslpitating side
of the debtor.
Il admit that their bond must be
strictly construed. But there was
time when It would have been well for
these in charge of the fiscal affairs in
this county TO consider the welfare Of
the county. There was a time in May
1891, when the Levy Court was not so
careful about the interests OF the public

whistled down the wind. They hastene

was entered into to repeal that law be.
cause the Constitution Of the United
States forbade the enactment of the law
that impaired a contract"
Chancellor Would the refusal of the
Levy Court TO. do this be equivalent to
repeal by the Legislature"
Mr. CRAY think it would. The
practical effect, under their contention
was that il the Legislature could not the
Levy Court could. A law existing at the
time for the express benefit Of the
sureties must not ba set aside by this
court. The laws governing a contract at
the time It was made enter into it and
become part of t. They asked that
they be not subjected TO the wanton
wrongs of their principal There was
nothing TO justify the refusal of the
petition. II was wantOn and cruel
disregard of their rights The sureties
had good ground for apprehending loss
and that should have been sufficient to
put the Levy Court machine In motion.
The law says it shall be the duty Of the
Levy Court to assume jurisdiction and
inquire. We say they did not inquire We
had right TO go there with reference to
our liability. But they threw us out of
the chamber because they say the law
governing the appointment of collectors
had been repealed That law walked
with the sureties wherever they went to
protect them In their liability
and no power, not even the Legis-
lature, could deprive them of it. This
law was part of that contract
They had the right to demand the re-
moval sof the old collector and the
substitution Of new one and that the
money collected by him should be up
piled TO diminish their liability"
He closed shortly before 2 o'clock.
Preliminary Injunction Granted.
The chancellor granted the preliminary
Injunction, holding that the law of 1877
formed part of the contract. He held the
sureties in $685. 600, double The amount
Of their liability to insure the county,

The same report says that thousands OF
the fierce Matabele warriors were killed be-
fore their capital, Buluwsyo, was taken.
Meantime an acrimonious discussion has
begun In the House Of Commons as TO the
right of private trading company to
usurp the functions Of the state De.
spatches from London report that Mr..
Labouchere declared that when King
Lobepgula granted the concession to
territory In Mashonaland to Mr. Rudd on
which .he British South Africa Company
was founded he was ignorant that he
thus gave the whites the right to
dig gold anywhere in his terri
tory. When he learned this
he repudiated his action The
concession, Mr. Labouchere declared, was
obtained by trickery and the company
had obtained its charter by trickery.
The Queen had given specific promises to
Lobengula, which the company had not
fulfilled. Mr.. Labouchere further said
that the company had exhausted its
capital, and was only existing by the aid
Of temporary loans. It's bankruptcy
was inevitable. The war had been
started merely for the purpose of seizlng
Matabeleland, which was said to be far
richer in gold than the territory in
Mashonaland covered by the concession.
Finding itself on the verge Of bankruptcy
the company thought It could float more
stock and get on It's feet again by selling
the rich gold reefs In Matabeleland. Mr..
Labouchere rehearsed at length all the
charges he has made against the com
pany in his newspaper Truth. He
said he did not approve of Lobengula's
method Of government, but to him
Lobengula seemed to he far the
most respectable person connected
with Mashonaland or Matabeleland.
There cannot be much doubt Of correct
ness OF this view or of the accuracy OF
Mr. Labouchere's statemen Is, It is Ger
tainly against public policy to allow a
trading company to wage wars, seize
lands and set up governments.

RRFERRISG kindly but deprecatingly
TO panic-mongers the Philadelphia Times
says: 1T is expecting too much Of
human nature to demand that the
calamity howlers shall stop short Even
amid their jubilations they cannot give
up the habit Of wailing, all at once. We
must allow them few days TO recover
their senses. Even then we shall not ex-
pect them to behave themselves out Of
any sense Of truth or fitness, but simply
because people will cease to listen to
them. The Improvement in business.
which had begun before the elections
will go on just the same by the natural
operation Of trade laws. 1t will be still
slow for time, but By the opening Of
the new year the general conditions will
almost certainly be such as to favor
brisk trade revival At about the same
time the new tariff law will be per-
fected and will come into operation-if
Senatorial obstl uction can be overcome
upon a rising tide. OF course the
calamity howlers viii howl at changing
the tariff, but they will not be able to
prevent the world moving, and 1t is
only in hard times that anybody listens
70 them. They have Rad the opportunity
Of their lives this year and have made
the most Of It Before another election
comes around they will be left far be

PATENTS.

4 here was never time In the history
Of our country when the demand for in.
ventions and improvements In the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind In
the factory and work shop, the household,
ON the farm, and in official life, require
continual acoessions to the appurtenances
and implements of each in order to save
labor, time and expense. The political
change In the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who, being on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the az
fairs Of government to deter him from
quickly coneelving the remedy to over
come existing discrepancies. Too great
care can not be exercised in choosing a
competent and skillful attorney to pre-.
pare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in

The fact that Carnegie breaks away
from the steel combine and reduces the
price Of steel rails from 500 TO $24 % a
ton is evidence that $13 protection is still
too much even on the theory Of the pro-
tectionists. Steel rails sell for about ST.
a ton In England. The difference we
have been paying, amounting TO $1O,-
600, 900 year, has increased the cost Of
railway travel, Of freights, and put an un-
necessary burden on the people on the false
plea of paying higher wages. Meantime,
the wages have been cut wherever there
was an opportunity to cut them The
ST eel rail market has often been over
stocked, thus forcing idleness upon the
mills and their employees. The result has
been, that, in the long run, the EN-
ployes have Jared poorly so far as their
share Of protection is concerned. The
theory of high wages has not been re-
allied. The men have often had no
wages at all, and all the time they have
had no higher wages than they could
have obtained at other protected employ
ments and less wages than they could
have obtained in unprotected employ
ments.
