Government by Injunction,

From the Independence SeEtinel.
The democratic declaration against
government by injunction made in 1896
was especially well timed. In the view
of recent events notable the invoking of
the powers of the courts TO prevent
free speech in the coal miners strikes,
makes the declaration of the democrat
ic platform stand out prominent rs the
work of wise men. The courts are en-
titled to all respect and obedience only
as long as they usurp no functions
which do not belong TO them. The
courts themselves are the creations of
the people who have agreed TO certain
methods for their mutual government
and protection, and when these courts
usurp power and overstep the bounds,
their rights can be taken away by the
power that created them. The idea of
government by injunction is especially
dlsagreeable to free people and will
not be tolerated. Tho declaration of
the last democratic platform against
such government will be a declaration
of the next democratic platform and be-
come living principle of the party.

Silver Refuses to Stay Dead.
ON the Kansas city Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
Organs of the gold trust are unus-
ually concerned about what they pro-
claim dead issue. If tree silver is so
dead as they have been asserting it is
for the past thirty days, why does
everyone of them persist in having the
corpse dug up every morning so that it
may convince itself by post-mortem
examination and assure its readers that
there is no shamming-that life is
really extinct.
The fact is that the subject of the
copious obituary notices of these gold
ite editors is not only moribund, but
there was never time when the silyer
issue was imbued with more life than
it possesses at the present time. A

was tackled upon the wall in The rear
of his chair, which sat ou an elevated
platform with n kind of pulpit desk
before it. Upon this latter we placed
the bee hive, and, pulling out the grass
plugs, locked the room door and re-
tired to our quarters. The next morn
ing when school opened there was such
an excitement as had never been seen
before. The weather was warm and
the bees were inclined to be indus
trlons. The agitation of the comb IN
the transportation of the hive had
caused the honey to run over the desk,
aud the bees were swarming so thick
and angrily that no one dared to APP
proach them; when Blaine arrived he
was powerless. He took in the situa-
ton promptly, and after scanning the
pictorial sheet with its jibing inscrip-
tions, became roaring mad and vowed
vengeance on the perpetrators. There
were no reeitations in Latin that day,
the bees having the room to themselves.

FINE ART OF LYNCHING.
Southern States Gracefully Yield The
Palm to Chicago and Ohio.

FIR m the Atlanta Constitution.
II would be idle 10 deny that Il e
Northern people are progressive. Tie
South can make horn, but the North
can take the same horn and fashion it
into Il spoon. It can take our timber
and make beds for us; our cotton and
weave ii into calico.
This is so well known that it is bard
ly necessary to refer TO it. But this
superiority of treatment is not confined
to manufactures. 1t has now spread
to the Iynching business, and, unless
all the signs fail, our Northern brethren
will rob the South of its prestige in this
line.
The probability of this was demoI-
strated some time ago in Ohio, where,
although the prisoner was undergoing
trial in the courts, a mob took him
away from the sheriff and disposed of
him more skilIfully and promptly than
Southern mob has ever been able to
do. Thus, according 10 present pro-
pecls, the recent statement of a North

truly sorry hat the business of ynch-
ing should have made sach rapid strides
in the section illuminated with morali-
ty, refinement and culture-the center
of culture and progress. But since it
is so, we cannot refrain from comment
ing on it.
Our Northern contemporaries have
heretofore depended on sermons in the
newspapers as remedies for the lynch
ing habit Now that the mania has ex-
tended 10 their own progressive and
enlightened section, we trust that they
will find worthy example. In this
matter we want the North to set its
light on a hill.

Foraker republicans, who prefer TO aId

victory rather than to confirm in power
one who will use it 70 crush the leader

There are other issues, of course,
that will enter into the pending cam

tions are going to be held soon-gov-
ernment by injunction, the robber
tariff, subordlnation of state courts to

the trusts-but these will be subOrdin-
ate. In every battle silver will be a
paramount issue. Its success is linked
indissolubly with the other reforms for
which the people are striving. If it
fails, they will fail If it succeeds,
their success will follow. 1t is here to
