The Debs Injunction.

Nothing is so likely to provoke disorder
as to make law hateful. That is a fact
which the coal operatives who are engaged
in d contest with their workmen and the
officials who are on guard to preserve the
peace should not forget. Strikers have
rights under the law-even rights the OK
ercise of which may cause mine owners
Inconvenience, perhaps unreasonable loss.
so to enforce the law in their case as to
give them reasonable ground to feel that
they have no rights anyhow, and that they
might as well engage in riot as in peaceful
agitation. That feeling, we fear. is likely
to be aroused by the injunction granted
BY Judge Jackson in West Virginia..

AMERICANS LIFE IN PERIL.
Protest Against the Method of Admin
interlng Justice In Colombia.


WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - The United
States consul at Medellin, Colombia, re-
ports to the State Department that the
long pending trial of Charles Radford, a
native of Alabama, accused in Colombia
Of murder, terminated July last in a YER
dict OF guilty. The judge pronounced SEN
tence Of death on the 9th inst, and an ap-
peal was taken at once TO the highest local
tribunal, which was granted. The sentence
is regarded as iniquitous and hopes are en-
tertained that it will be reversed. If not,
a further appeal can be made to the Su-
preme Court at Bogoto. After his sentence
Radford was. by order of the Alcalde,
in the most cruel manner. The United
States consul protested 10 the Governor
against such needless cruelty, and he said
he was poWerless to interfere with the AL
calde's orders. The consul then telegrapheQ
to the American minister in Bogota, hoping
to obtain better treatment for the con-
demned man through the Colombian gov
eminent. The judge who tried the case
said that he did not expect the verdict
which was received with surprise and in
dignat5on by people present at the trial
The jury was composed of three very young
men, all deficient in intelligence. Jurors
cannot be challenged in Colombia. Five
names are drawn by lot. One is struck OUT
by the prosecuting attorney, one by the
counsel for the defense and the three re-
naming constitute the jury.

Uncle Sam viii Not Prosecute Dr.
Here's Claim Against France.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Dr. Cornelius
Herr, of Panama-canal fame, has filed a
claim with the State Department for dam
ages against the government of France for
illegal arrest and detention in England The
case presents some curious and unusual
features. DR.. Herr, it is said. fled to Eng
land to escape arrest and prosecution by
the French government as one of the lead
ers in the Panama affair. The French gov
eminent asked his extraditiOn and he was
arrested at a resort called BOurnemouth by
British officers. He was very i'll. and 1t
was not possible for him to be brought into
court to answer the eXtradition proceedings
For three years, it is said, he lay in this
state. technically under arrest and under
constant surveillance. Meantime for his es-
pecal benefit law was passed by Parlia-
ment to enable examinations to be held at
the bedside of prisoner in such cases as
his. The proceedings resulted in the decli-
nation of the British authorities to grant
the extradition OF DR.. Herr. and ne now
brings d claim against France, without
stating the amount OF the indemnity he
asks After careful examination of the
papers i'm the case. however, the State De-
partment has been obliged to decline to
undertake to prosecute the claim and has
so informed DR.. Here's counsel.

The Dry Goods Economist in it's issue of
yesterday had postal card reports on the
business outlook from $40 merchants, rep
resenting every State and Territory except
Alaska. Out of the total number the writ
ers of only 107 reports took a gloomy view,
whereas 421 said that business fair,
595 that it was good, and 456 that it was
very good. Dry goods men as a rule are
conservative and early August is probably
the dullest time in the year for a poll of
this character. In the, light of these two
facts, therefore, the showing is certainly
encouraging. The shopping women may
take their satisfaction at the polls; but they
are evidently too discriminating to take it
out of the dry goods stores at the present
time

accomplished wonders in the way of eco

heavy cost, however, and has been forced
by great loss of profits. But if the world
begins to work together again with hope

have for business is shown by the fact that
a large fleet of vessels in ballast is now

transportation that these vessels find it
worth while to come over without any

A paper read before the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Science
at Detroit advocated as a remedy for
labor troubles state supervision of wages
and output by legislative commission. In
the discussion which foil we'd it was sug-
gested that a remedy might be found in the
establishment of a minimum wage by the
government or in state ownership of mines.
These suggestions SAVIOR of academic the
cries rather than practical wisdom. Gov
eminent may fix a rate of wages, or a
minimum rate for itself but it has no right
to interfere with the right of private con-
tract by fixing it for individuals. Neither
has it any right to limit or restrict the out
put of mines or factories. That would be
the biggest and worst trust of all. AS for
the ownership of mines. that suggestion
would have some merit If the question were
an open one, but the government has parted
with the ownership of all the mines it
once owned and there is no possible way
in which it could obtain possession of them
again except by purchase or confscation.
and neither of these is practicable.
