CURED it's meaning and were in
formed that it was published by
the chairman of the Marion
county democratic executive COM
mittee in justification of his un-
called for action in calling to-
gether the committee to recon-
mend a board of county commits
Sioners. This is the first word
we have had from Mr.. Harris in
defense of his unheard of action.
For nearly three months we have
watched the Banner for some ex-
PLANTATION of the chairman S
queer actions and were in hopes
that he would be candid enough
to admit that he had made a
mistake and then follow it up
with some sort of an apology to
the party. Instead of this he
has been watching and hoping
for some one chairman in an OBJ
scure county in the state to make
the same blunder so that he could
use it to prove that two wrongs
make one right. For his benefit

Neal Dow.

Whether or not Neal Dow inherited
militant spirit from his Quaker par
entage he possessed it and retained it
throughout his long and remarkable
career. Nor has it passed away with
him but is handed down to those Of
succeeding generations who would do
battle for their convictions. However
much men may differ as to the prac-
ticability of Neal BOWS methods of
promoting temperance reform all must
give him credit for manfully, insistenl-

battle for it, no matter how great the
odds or unfavorable the outlook. He

knew him intimately bear witness to
his kindly nature and those qualities
which we may we'll believe were trans
mitted unimpaired from his Quaker an
cestry and found their generous devel-
opment in him as husband, father
neighbor and citizen. He was indeed
wonderfully equipped for the work of
this life and the many years, indomi-

vouchsafed to him were so completely
utilized that in his last moments he
could not look back with that sense of
regret which comes to tho4e who falter
by the wayside. He knew that his life

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
"Prometheus like
IN. Y. Tribune.)

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan, lately
known as 1.-The Boy Orator of the
Platte" would do well to bestir himself
ere his laurels be stolen by Mr.. James
A. Gray, of this town, the statesman
who presided over the convention Of
the United Democracy, in the Lenox
Lyceum. on Monday night. Gray was
truly eloquent. So much so that the
cars stopped running in Madison ave-
nue.. This is one of the things he said
about the gold Democrats: These
men would bind the party, Promethe-
us-like, to the rock of monopoly with
letters of FURNISHED gold.' AS 4
rhetorical figure, this is a close second
to that great Intellectual achievement
of Mr.. Bryan in the famous figure OF
the crucifixion of labor on cross If
gold, which gave him the presidential
nomination. AS a gallery-stirrer and
hurrah-starter the Bryan figure,it must
be admitted.fs about huckleberry and
a half ahead. The average Democratic
delegate, being more familiar with his
New Testament than with his Aeschy-
lus, caught on to it, so to speak, with
more suddenness and enthusiasm. 1t
has to be taken into account, though.
that Gray has only just started in, and
that this was merely municipal con-
vention. He will grow more beautiful
and touching and striking as he grows
oldE.
Prometheus as a symbol of the Demo-
cratic party is uncommonly fine, if the
party did but know it. For Prometheus
stole fire from heaven, tand from the
experience which the taxpayers of this
town have had with the Democratic
party it is believed that it would steal
anything, from walled town to a red
hot stove. Plato in the "Protagoras
represents Prometheus as lacking the
political wisdom which enables men
to live in organized communities. "
This makes the Promethean figure fit
still closer-in fact, "shoost like der
baber on der vail" The figure fails
all analogies fall down at some point
in it's description of the party as bound,
like Prometheus, to a rock. That party
is not bound to anything; either sound
money or free silver, protection or free
trade, government by law, or anarchy.
AS somebody once said, it is anchored
to whale,' to which it may be added
that it is liable to turn up anywhere
where there's spouting. But Prone
theus had an eagle constantly preyirg
on his liver, and there the figure fits
again. The American eagle performs
that function for the Democratic party,
not only for it's liver but it's lights as
well. And the liver grows nights to
make up for what the eagle gnaws off
during the day. That's the reason why
the party can digest anything from a
tenpenny nail to court house.
Oh, there's great deal in mythology
and its symbols if followed up. In the
matter of Prometheus it is probably
we'll known in Fourteenth street that
Hercules finally slew the eagle and let
the old fellow up from the rock. No
doubt Tammany hall is looking for the
return of that powerful person or his
representative to earth. It's none of
our business; but what's the matter
with Quigg for playing Hercules? He's
been playing pretty much everything
else, including Hades. The suggestion
is offered to Orator GRAY.

The Injunction.

instance where law abiding citizen
has been deprived of his rights,
in the abstract by any OF
the injunctions which it is becoming
popular with some to denounce. New
ertheless along with many others we
have been impressed with the idea that
some judges have been too much in
clned to the use of this authority. This
impression is deepened by the attitude
of sori1es of the learned judges them
selves against such liberal use of the
injunction. 1t is laughable, however,
to see the Altgelds, the organs the
George Fred Williams. and demagogues
of that stripe fioundering about and
clutching at everything which promises
agitation, the injunction among other
things.
1t is not amusing, however, to con-
template a radical and threatening
change in the authority exercised by
the courts, such as the chief justice
of the appellate court in Illinois de-
clared the other day to be tyranny, ell
dangering mot only the right of trial
by jury but all the rights and liberties
of the citizen" There must be limi-
tation to the extent to which a judge
may substitute equity for the
regular proceedings. Undoubtedly
the injunction has it's use
but no more than any other method
is free from possible abuse. And while
we do not regard much of the Popo-
cratic denunciation as worthy of no.
tice it is certain that every man,
whether he be for silver or a gold
standard, is equally interested, not
only in preventing the abuse Of the in
junction but also in keeping questions
pertaining to the courts divorced as far
as possible from the influence of mere
politics The remedy to be effectual
will have to be decided upon by more
competent men than are the dema-
gogues, who have sought every Oppor-
tunity to decry the supreme court. Ac-
cordingly it is gratifying that the agi-
tation is not to be lett to them; that
members of both the bench and the
bar, men who are capable of comprc-
hending all the bearings of the ques-
ton, propose to discuss the question o;
the injunction openly and frankly. Ir
this way will the public be better able
to form correct conclusions respecting
it and the sooner will some proper limi.
tation be had.
