They touch every portion of it with

play their several parts in a civic

The spectacle of peace officers
numbering 81 and wounding Al 9th
er defenseless citizens because they
chose to march along the public
road is one to stir the proud blood
of true America into a foaming
flood. This action of deputies,
backed by the courts, opens up a
question of popular rights not here
tofore settled, which may grow into
the greatest issue since the war.
Certain the story is so shocking, and
the awful, illimitable power of
courts so dangerous that the people
have not yet recovered their sober
sense to think calmly upon the SUBJ
ject. The modern American gov
eminent becomes a government by
lnJunctlon,-a government by the
courts, and constituted popular
rights are taken away as by an alb
solute monarch.
1t is a serious question, forced up
on the people by a grievous circum.
stance. 1t has already fostered a
certain sentiment by a large number
which would actually abolish both
judges and in%junctions from our sys-
tenn of Jurisprudence. Whatever
the result of this agitation ma, be.
certainly a grievous wrong has been
committed and the end is not yet.

the pioneer champion of prohibition
ana universal suffrage. is e aoman with
out party. At the meeting of the cen
trail committee of the national party
Friday at the Sherman house a resolu
ton was adopted reciting that since
Mrs. Cougar, who was a member of the
committee, had signified her intention
TO support candidate for president in
1890 who might not be the nominee Of
the national party. her resignation
would be accepted. The action which
caused the adoption of the resolution
was Mrs. Cougars objection to mo-
tion which had been presented that the
members of the central and executive
committees should pledge themselves TO
oppose any compromising or en-
tangling alliances with other political
parties" and she told the committee
that if mir. Bryan's party" could be in
duced TO Incorporate temperance
plank in its platform she waited to be
free to support it. and that she would
vote against any proposal to bind her
to support The nominee of the national
party.
The motion failed to carry, but the
committee considered her words trea-
sonable enough to warrant her expul-
tion from the councils of the party.
During the debate Mrs. Cougar said
that the temperance question was ]
longer the paramount issue. and that II
she had had a vote in November she
was NOT Sure that she would NOT have
supported NJ. Bryan. The fight lasted
for more than three hours, and when
the motion was tabled by a close vote
Mr.. Thomas Immediately offered the
resolutions expelling Mrs. Cougar.
