JUDGE JACKSON issued an order on
Monday last making the injunction
against Debs and others perpetual. The
defendants put in no appearance. The
judge took occasion to refer In his deci
cision to the public structures offered on
his action. He said that If like case
were presented now a like order would
be issued. Two hundred years ago courts
OF equity in England issued restraining
orders TO protect the citizen in his right
of property. The Injunction abridged
10 right OF the miners but protected the
nights of Others which we're threatened.
And yet, even though there be prece-
dent for the judges action, 1t must be
understood that there has been an en-
largement of personal rights Laws have
been changed to meet the circumstances
OF the present. Why should not the
power of courts be lessened when the ex-
ercse of those disputed powers IS but
seldom required and is irritating whep it
Is? Occasions may arise when the arbi-
trary power of the injunction and its sum
mary enforcement would be salutary.
But the Debses are sporadic ard ephem-
eral, and there Is no occasion for keeping
such an engine of repression as the in
junction active SO as to be prepared for a
remote emergency. The temper OF the
people is opposed to the Injunction and
1t is better that should go than respect
for the courts

The permanent dlsbarment of an attor-
ney Is something unusual. 1t Is pun
Ishment almost equaling in severity that
visited on "the man without country"
1t is living death to reputation, com
plete severance OF the past from the fn-
ture. A mans profession, in it's indlvId-
ual relation, is part of himself; the best
that Was IN him is its essence. The fruits
OF every hour CT study, the record of
every success, the hope and ambition of
youth all cluster along that line of effort
which suffers instant obliteratlon. Tt
is worse than death because anguish sur

These who are quick to say st serves

LECTION through the glass OF sympathy.
No donbt he has been dealt with Justly.
"a God all mercy is a God unjust"
Those whose unpleasant duty it Is to adj
punishment must keep in mind
the good to the greatest number. This
is different from gloatirg over deserved
suffering. The moral teaching which
draws It's inspiration from unsympathetIc
of mental torture, touches
no responsive chord In a manly nature,
nor does 1t develop righteousness. The
way OF the transgressor is hard, but when
be receives the full measure of punish
ment the bruised body should not be put
on exhibition, nor should suffering be in
tensltied by using it to "point a moral"

driver was wholly uninjured.
The 200 trot resulted in the fastest
time ever made on the track here. Though

HE Chronicle studiously avoids the
point made by The Pilot that It's argu-
ment Oh the Mexican situation, which is
fruitful of good to that country In build
ing home manufactures, is identical with
that OF protectIonists
The argument used by the protection
asts tcfaen urging heauy tariff duty:
The heavy tariff masee the importation
OF goods impracticable or lnadvisable,
and hence home manufacture Is stlmn-
lated much to the advantage of the peo-
pie who are denied access to the foreign
market.
The Chronicles argument adduced
from the financial situation in Merico:
The heavy rate of exchange, due to the
fall in price of silver, Mexico being free
silver country, checks importations and
encourages home manufactures.
Similar results must have similar
| causes. Even the operations are similar
in the cases cited. 1t is to this parallel
ism OF procedure that the attention of
The Chronicle was called But instead
of justifylng its argument With reference
to the assumed outcome in Mexico, while
maintaining its integrity as an anti pro-
lection paper, The Chronicle gives it's
| readers declamatory address on the
| wrongs OF silver.
The Pilot does not choose to enter into
discussion of the silver question with
The Chronicle, Its contention is this:
That arguments in favor of free coinage
OF silver under any ratio OF value not the
commercial one, bear the stamp and have
the flavor of protection. This is unavoid-
able, because the relation of protection
and free silver is 80 ;lose that the life
blood of each is put in circulation by the
throbs OF a common heart. What 10 the
corner stone Of protection? Placing by
law value upon an article greater than
| 1t would have if governed by economic
laws.
What is the basic principle of free sill
yer? Placing by law a valne upon a
commodity greater than it has IN the
markets of the world.
The words OF Cleveland are peculiarly
adapted to the situation. 1t is a c0ndl-
ton not theory which confronts us.
No matter what the cpuses which brought
about the disparity of the metals, that
disparity exists. To accept theory in
justification of the summary proceeding
OF doubling, in an instant, the yalne of a
commodity, is to discard reason and in
vite the guidance Of folly. In the evolu
ton of systems, changes are inevitable.
Progress leaves wrecks in its wake bnt
! On the ruins improvements are reared.
The good old times" are grand old hum
bugs, and would readily be declared such
II resurrected and made active in a time
which has far outstripped their Capacity
Mexico is now where we we're a hundred
years ago. Her industrial and financial
systems would prove anachronlsms in the
hustle of a country which has passed
through the era in which she is now
| moving.

A suit somewhat sensational in it's
character has been begun by George E..
Potter against Congressman Babcock.
Babcock's prominence as politician
would OF itself give dash of interest to
suit brought against him for large
amount. But in the present instance
fraud is alleged, and fraud too, against a
partner stricken with insanity. Thus
an element OF criminality is injected into
the case.
Porter became insane IN 1892. By
manipulation and false inventory, Mrs.
Porter was induced to sell her husbands
stock in the Necedah Lumber company
at much less than its real value. Porter
has had his reason restored and now
brings suit to recover about 81, 900, the
sum of which he claims he was defraud-
ed, OConnor, Hammel & Schmitz are
his attorneys.

ONE feature OF the horse racing de
serves more than passing notice. In

track record OF the grounds was lowered
an old man appeared as driver of Thai,

glmcracks on his horse and no Jockey
suit. He wore an old SLOUGH hat and he
had no tiunkeys to sponge Lis horses
month and make a display of varied co;
ored blankets. He took the horse tn the
shed himself, cared for him and took him
ont. He used no whip because the horse
would not bearit.
The horse was no less interesting than
his owner. He is 81 years old and bas
trotted $50 heats all In less than 2:3O. He
took second money in the 2:2O trot and
pushed the winner hard. The old mans
name Is Bates and he lives in Iowa. He
purchased the horse 13 years ago, the
animal being considered worthless. Tn
the Indiana circnit some years ago. tho
Judges thought Bates was holding mn hrs

the horse turned over to Starr the cele-
DRAFTED driver. Starr came in eighth n

The time made in the special, or peg
race, is the best in the state, though it
was evident to all on lockers that the
drivers often showed more CELEBRITY when
there was no special inducement to he
expeditions.
The attendance on Saturday was not
so large AS on the day preceding, though
1t was very satisfactory. The track was
IN excellent condition though the wind
was little too strong for fast going. The
horse and bicycle races we're the special
attractions of the day. Bicycle racing
has not had many devotees in Manltowoc
and the races OF last Saturday were the
first OF any consequence ever held here
The time was favorable for many entries
as there were no other races of the kind
IN the state on that day.
The following is summary of the
horse racing for the day.
