REV. DR.. GRAMMER.-As heretofore
stated Rev. Carl Grammer, of the Epis-
copal Theological Seminary, has re.
ceived call to Christ Church, Norfolk
1t is generally believed that he will
accept the cell, though so far his resig
nation as professor at the Seminary has
Mt been received by the trustees Of
that institution. The Norfolk papers
say: "Dr. Grammer is expected 10
rreach at Christ Church on the first
Sunday in January, and will doubles 9
be greeted by large congreg cation. +"
The prospect of DR.. Grammer leaving
the Seminary in the middle of the ses-
sion aud on so short notice is adversely
criticised by the friends OF the Seminary
A telephone message was received at this
office this evening from the Seminary which
states that DR.. Grammer has not accepted the
call to Grace Church, Norfolk, but that he will
preach there on the first Sunday in January.
The students at tho Seminary have prepared
petition requesting him not to leave that in
stiiution.

Revelations. His knowledge of the
Bible is truly marvellous. Truly Mr..

MISS EARPER'S RESIGNATION.

The resignation of Miss Martha Har-
per as principal of Washington school,
a position she has occupied for the
last fifteen years, is matter of
very great regret and a decided
loss to the school. During her incum-
bency Miss Harper has managed the
institution with marked ability and
consummate tact, and under her in
fluence the school has been especially
prosperous. The resolution of regret
for her resignation and thanks for her
services, passed by the Board of Edu-
cation, was fitting tribute to a worthy
and conscientious educator.
Miss Harper's retirement is doubly
regrettable, not only on account of
her i'll health, which is the cause of it,
but on account of the future welfare of
the school. Already there is hot
wrangling, dissension and strife over
the appointment of her successor, and
we can hardly hope to see this school,
under such conditions. conducted as
smoothly and as successfully as it was
under Miss Harpers wise and careful
management.

and supremely hypocritical sermons on
the sanctity of our highest court. In
fact, the Republican organs and
speakers, for good reason, had little
else to talk about in that campaign.
And yet, right ON top of this sane
timonious drivel, the head and front
of the Republican party-the President
of the United States-knowingly and
with generalization appoints to that
highest court, whose rulings, we are
told, we must bow to as something
approaching the holy, VIGOROUSLY
unfit man, who in his official capacity
has been tainted with scandal.
How can the people be asked to re-
spect the decisions of court that is
not itself respectable, and would it not
be more consistent for the Republican
party, while prating about the re-
spectability of this court, to do some
thing toward making it more instead
of less respectable?

trout streams of limpid purity and by a
few larger water courses flowing into
Lake Superior. Deer and other wild
game are in abundance. 1t is an ideal
spot of vast extent, filling all the re-
quirements for grand public park and
forest reserve if inestimable value to
the people of the State.
No particular steps were adopted by
the State to carry out the original de-
sign for the creation of large forest
park. The tract contains wealth Of
Klondike proportions in standing pine
timber. 1t has also large amounts Of
hard timber, which is almost as valua-
BILE as pine. The greedy eyes of specu-
lators and grabbers have been fixed
for years on the timber in this reserva-
ton.
At length, after many trials and fail
ures, the pine grabbers obtained the
passage of an act by the late Legisla-
ture of Wisconsin for the sale of all the
State lands in the reserve. The sale
has been advertised and will occur with
in few days. Many newspapers and
prominent citizens throughout the
State describe it as an objectionable
outrage.
The general government and other
States are adopting the policy of ere
ating forest reserves. Pennsylvania
has appropriated 100000 as a begin
ming for the purchase of large tracts
in the Allegheny Mountains, along the
upper waters of it's rivers, for the pur-
pose of establishing public parks of i'm
mense dimensions New York is buy
ing up all the Adirondack country that
is needed for a park of vast extent.
Just at this time for Wisconsin to re-
verse the policy of forest reserves and
sell it's treasures of soil, forest, lake and
stream to pine timber sharks is an act
of vandalism which should make the
-voo,a~-~H->.u state ashamed of their
name.
The Milwaukee Telegraph proposes
that the sale of this land shall be boy
cotted-that bidders shall absent them
selves from the auction of the precious
acres. This is enlightened advice, but
it will hardly be followed. If the Leg
islature, through lack Of public spirit,
or through corruption, has offered the
land for sale, lumber grabbers and spec
ulators cannot be expected to lose the
opportunity to buy the stuff at the low
est price for which bids will be &C
cepted.

Pacific Coast have sent another pro-

Indifferent. He was pledged to make

A RECORD OF HORRIBLE MURDER.

"A
For several weeks allegations have
been made in the press of the country
that $1,000 Cubans persisted during the
last year. These figures are 50 full Of
horror that comment has been largely
withheld, awaiting confirmation. The
Chicago Dispatch points out that Nc
Kinley had these facts before him in
the shape of official reports from Con-
suls in Cuba, when he recommended
Congress to grant the Spanish butchers
more time to "pacify" the insurgents.
1t seems incredible that such could have
been the case, and yet statistics gath
cred from another source indicate that
there have been 100000 burials in Cuba
during the last year, and President Nc
Kinley could not have been uniformed
as to the facts.
No less an authority than the bishop
of Havana states that through reports
of parish priests it has been established
that the number of persons who have
died in their districts from famine, dis
ease and war during the last twelve
months reaches the startling and awful
total of 100000.
Under the rule of General Blanco the
situation is not improving. Inmates of
the government insane asylum at Ha-
vana are actually dying Of starvation.
Cuba's highest estimated population
before the war was 100000. In the
death list given to the bishop of Ha-
vana the pacificos assassinated by Span
ish soldiers, the Cuban troops killed in
battle, the thousands who have died in
the country Of smallpox and starvation
are rot included. Undoubtedly 100000
people have persisted on the Spanish
cursed island Of Cuba during the last
year.

A ,JCDlCIAL OUTRAGE

One of the most remarkable and fla
grant cases of judicial tyranny through
government by injunction has come to
light in Omaha. 1t is one involving the
liberty of the press. On Wednesday
Judge Keyser, of the District Court, at
Omaha, issued an injunction which for
babe the World-Herald, of that city,
publishing or referring to resolution
of the License Board, passed Novem-
Der 49, announcing the determination
of the board to be governed in grant
ing licenses by a former finding of the
board that the World-Herald was the
paper of the largest circulation in
Douglas county. 1t also enjoined the
agents of the paper from soliciting such
advertisements Gilbert NJ Hitchcock,
publisher of the World-Herald, was
served with the order. He published an
open letter to Judge Keyser in his pa
per, from which the following eX-
tracts are taken:
Il consider this to be an attempt to
L
it to be lawless. 1 believe it to be malic-
ious. I shall resist it by all the lawful
means in my power, and notify you that
the Word-Herald is one institution of the
country which will not be run by injunc-
ton. In order, therefore, to put this mat
ter to the test hereby publish as 1 have
the right to do, the following resolutions
of the license board, taken from it's rec
ord:
Il propose to have advertising solicited
for the World-Herald in the future as it
has been in the past. If you can enjoin
me from transacting my business, as you
now attempt to do. then no business en-
terprise is safe from judicial tyranny"
The court Immediately issued an or
der citing Mr.. Hitchcock to appear and
show cause why he should not be pun
lshed for contempt. The case was set
for hearing this morning, and on be-
half of the World-Herald Mr.. Hitch
cock will make it a test case to deter
mine the power of judge to resist the
liberty Of the press and the right of a
| court to issue its writ of Injunction to
interfere with the legitimate functions
of business enterprise. The outcome
will be awaited with interest.
This is the most outrageous case of
the abuse of the injunction that has yet
come to public notice. When a petty
district judge can thus strike blow at
the foundation principles of our govern
ment and social fabric-free speech and
the liberty of the press-it is high time
that the bold onward march of judicial
tyranny was called to a sudden and per-
emptory halt.
