Some experiments have recently been
made which show that soapsuds will
reduce a sea almost as well as oil. This
was first tried on the Scandia, an Eng
lish steamer, in a storm on the Allan
tic. Having no great quantity of oil
the master dissolved a large quantity
Of soap in water, which was discharged
over the bow. The effect was nearly
instantaneous, the height of waves be-
ing SO diminished that the vessel could
be managed without difficulty. Cap
tain LIE Gall Of the French steamer
Senegal sailing the Adriatic, was
struck by a squall and used soap and
water with the same result. He used
three kilogrammes of soap dissolved
in seventy liters Of water. The solution
when dripped over the bow made a
quiet space about ten meters wide, pre-
venting the waves from breaking over
the vessel.

This is a needless world. The found
err Of the Red Cross society, Dr. Henri
Dunant, is living almost forgotten IN
the hospice of Heiden, in the Swiss can
ton of Appenzell. The horror with
which he contemplated the terrible
scenes that followed the battle of Sol
ferino, June "a, 1859, first moved him to
make an appeal for the protection of
the sick and wounded in war. DIR. Du-
nant's efforts were at length rewarded
by the conclusion, August, 1864, of the
Geneva convention and the institution
Of the Red Cross society.

North Dakota has law similar to
the one passed at the recent session of
the South Carolina legislature, provid-
ing for so-called boards of conciliators,
or special tribunals, to lessen expensive
court litigation by the amicable settle
ment of differences. The question Of
the validity of the North Dakota law
was recently argued before the SUI
preme court as a sort of a side issue
in pending case. The court did not
pass upon the validity of the act, the
decision turning upon other involved
points, but the occasion was taken to
say that the act does not carry out the
provisions of the constitution, in that
the boards are not authorized to enter
binding Judgment under any circum-
stances. The only judgment authorized
by the statute is one to be entered by
the justice upon the agreement OF the
parties, and this could be arrived at
without the intervention of the law or
of the conciliators.

The effect of rapid transit on trade
has been investigated by the Detroit
Tribune in that city. AT a few of the
large stores in the center of the city it
was said that the increased means of
access had made little difference in the
volume of trade, but the general senti-
ment was that improvement in BUSH
ness had resulted. Among the smaller
outside merchants the testimony was

it is making the great mistake of going
into the free silver swamps and firing
the brake. This has resulted from the
peculiar faculty Democrats have of
throwing over their leaders and trust
ing to luck before their victories are
well Won. The Republicans see our
shortsighted and fatal policy, and are
not slow to take advantage, for they
always present a solid phalanx.
THE REAL REASON.
Los Angeles Times: The real incen-
tive of this new crusade which certain
leaders of the Democratic party have
taken up all at once is not desire for
the free and unlimited coinage of 90
cent silver in 100-cent dollars. 1t is a
desperate expedient by which they hope
to gain control of the Government, in
order that they may dispense the pa
tronage which goes with political sue
cess. The utter failure of the free
trade experiment left the experimenterS
no hope of success on that issue Their
only chance lay in raising a new issue,
which would afford them a possible
opportunity to deceive the people and
get into power a second time. Hence
their eleventh hour conversion to the
free coinage dogma. 1t is desperate
chance but it is the Democracy's only
chance for success in this campaign.

CONVENIENT BY INJUNCTION

Government by injunction" is de-
cratic National Convention. What does
this catch phrase mean, originated by
Debs and howled by every anarchist
from the beer cellars of Chicago to the
underground joints of New York? Sim
ply this: A fellow proposes to seize your
property, to tie you hand and foot and
take your possessions to dictate to you
what you shall do and how you shall
do it. He openly and boldly an
nounces his intention, presents himself
with the physical force to carry it into
effect and proceeds TO business. You
have no speedy or adequate remedy at
law. Before you can sue he will have
you in your coffin or will have accom-
plished his purpose.
In such an emergency, local protec-
aion utter failing you, you appeal TO
tribunal Of the people in the exercise of
ats equity powers to command him to
stay his hand, and to show cause why
he should not. He is hidden to appear
and show to the court why he should
bind and gag you, and put the knife to
your throat and possess himself of your
goods, and the rascal, failing to make
such showing, is by mandate Of the
court restrained, and that mandate is
enforced, as it should be.
That is Government by injunction" :"
as the Johann Proudhon Altgeld-Till-
man anarchistic crew are pleased TO
term it. Clearly. when all else fails to
protect, Government by injunction is
the freeman's blessed resort" 1t re-
strained the King centuries ago from
setzing the poor mans cot; it has held
arrogant aristocracy by the throat and
put its knee upon the breast Of disso-
lutte princes trespassing upon the wild
ow's acre; it has been the poor mans
shield and the freeman's buckler; 1t is
the buttress against which lawlessness
plunges in vain; it is the bulwark Of the
Constitution and the majesty of the
iaw incarnate, made by the people, for
the people and for their protection, rich
or poor, high or low, against the as
saults of the lawless and the schemes
of the vicious.

Anarchists in Disguise.
From the Stockton Independent

(FrOm the Stockton independently
When the poet wrote: "A little learn
ing is a dangerous thing; drink deep or
taste not the Pierian spring" he did not
foresee the rise of class who drink
deeply and become mere empires by the
imbibing. The world now seems to be
filled with these pretenders to wisdom,
who are filled with knowledge, but lack
the common sense to make proper ap-
p1ication of it. Some Of them possess
the genius to so arrange facts and to
present those that suit their purposes
i'll attractive form, to clothe them in en-
tertaining phrases and the dishonesty
to ignore such facts as do not suit their
mischievous purposes of leading the
people astray and excite them to re-
volt.
These empires are more successful in
the present than in the past, for they
have taken care TO put money in their
purses, and have acquired control OF
newspapers and magazines in which TO
advocate their disintegrating doctrines.
Some of them are shreWd business men,
who, caring little for the doctrines
themselves, seek only to use them as
means of making more wealth.
To this end the papers and magazines
they publish are baited with fine en-
cravings, attractive and entertaining

doctrines as the poisoner uses wine to
convey his deadly drugs to his victims.
Cunning lecturers with the trick of elo-
quence but destitute of its true spirit

the seeds of discomfort by picturing
things as they think they ought to be
and carefully avoid the truth that the
world lacks the material for making
perfect governments or a perfect state
Of society, and never will while human
ity is human, have the material from
which to maintain a Utopia.
Many of those who listen to and read
these misleaders forget for the time
their own lack Of Utopian characters

ing to find in others the generosity and
unselfishness they do not find in them

is of the basest sort.
Unlike Holmes and the Haymarket
anarchists, they avoid outright breaches
of the law, but are none the less guilty
of crime. Such men helped to cause the

The Democratic party has demon
strated in its efforts to frame a plat
form upon which to go before the peo-
pie this year that the Republican de-
claration that protection is the over
Shadowing issue, is correct. The plat
form of the Democracy confesses this by
the express language employed in treat
ing of the subject, and the insistence
with which it is dwelt upon. Long be-
fore the ides of November the people
viii be considering that issue as the only
one upon which the election should turn.
1t is upon that issue that two great
parties separate, going in diametrically
opposite courses. Upon the secondary,
or financial issue, the simple truth is,
to deny, that both parties divide their
membership in opinion. There are free
silver Republicans and monometallist
Democrats who do not hold that dis
agreement upon fiscal lines should
drive them out of the party organization
so far as the other and greater, because
clearer, better defined and more Ameri-
can issue is concerned, namely, the
tariff question, involving as it does the
prosperity of every wage Garner, every
producer, every manufacturer, every in
ventor, and in fact, every man, rich or
poor, employed or employer.

domination

The majority report of the Platform
Committee of the Democratic National
Convention, which has become the plat
form of the convention, pronounceS
against the funding Of the Pacific Rail-
road debts, and in the same breath de-
nounces the issuance of Government
bonds, and demands economy in the
conduct of the Government Yet 1t Is
undeniable that If the debt is not fund
ed and thus secured under new and ad-
ditional guarantees, the Government, to
carry out the Democratic idea, must is
sue it's certificates of indebtedness for
S9O0O0.000 to take up and discharge
the first mortgage bonds, which, by spe-
cific Act, Congress gave precedence.
This is not all; the Government will
have to expend half as much more for
terminals and feeder lines before it
could operate the roads economically,
upon which it is demanded there shall
ernment would have to sell the roads
taken, in which case they would not
bring anywhere near the sum necessary
to discharge the senior liens. And this
