prosperity sweeping over the entire
country. Inconsistency, thou art a
jewel"

The injunction is playing an impor-
tant part in the affairs Of the country
these days. IT has been used to sup
press free speech and to step peaceful
parades in the labor strikes. It is be-
ing resorted to in Iowa to muzzle the
press. A newspaper at Charles City,
managed to obtain possession Of some
letters of damaging character which
had passed between Senators Alii8on,
Grear and other leading republicans,
and a candidate for postmaster at that
place. Tie parties interested learned
in some way that the publisher had the
letters and intended publishing them,
and Immediately invoked the aid of q
plant court TO prevent him. District
Attorney Ross has resorted to injunc-
tion to restrain the Loan Commission
from funding the Yay8paf county rail
road bonds. Debs, may be somewhat
ultra in some Of his ideas, but in this
suggestion, We think he is about right.
He has advised the electric railroad
employees to enjoin their companies
from discharging them. because they
are union men. IF it is good law for
wealthy men and corporations, it ought
to protect organized labor as well. But
We fear the courts viii find soma way
Of evading he law in one instance and
enforcing it in the other. In fact, the
subserviency Of our courts, is ore Of
the many causes Of the universal IN
rest and discomfort Of Americans.

In the mining edition recently issued
by the Los Angeles Times, we find the
following in regard to the mining in
dustry in Arizona: "Lf it were asked
why, III a territory so extensive as the
mineral region Of Arizona, SO little
progress has been made in develop
ment, the main answer, unquestionably,
would be found in the expense Of trans
portation, not only in bringing the nee
essary appliances of machinery into
the territory, bat also in having to ship
the ores out for reduction; as but few
mines have reduction works, except for
copper. To this may be added the in
accessibility Of the country, which de-
tracts capital to nearer eastern locaii-
ties. The mining districts have been
so widely scattered that ores could not
we'll be brought together at any one
place for the establishment Of smelling
works, and it is seldom that ore enough
can be had from one mine, or group of
mines, for the establishment Of such
works. Besides, the large establish
ments erected in Colorado, New Mexi-
co and at FL Paso, Texas, haying much
better facilities for fuel and railway
advantages, could easily compete for
the ores which could be offered. The
above mentioned large works could
treat their own ores at home and thus
retard progress in mines disadvantage
ously located. The silver mining was
checked measurably for years-untD
one drop in the value Of the metal, a
fact which has practically brought sill
yer mining TO close"

The Newborn and the Dead.

Lavater, in his "Physiognomy, ' makes the following curious remarks; ssI have had occasion to observe some infants immediately on their births and have found an astonishing resemblance between their profile and those of their father. A few days after this resem- blance almost entirely disappeared. The influence of the air and food and prob- ably the change of posture had so al tered the design of the face that you could have believed it a different ln- diyiduaL I afterward saw two of these children die, one at weeks and the other at 4 years of age, and about 12 hours after their death they lmme- diately recovered the profile which had struck me so much at their birth, only the profile of the dead child was, as might be expected, more strongly marked and more terse than that of the living. ;

Our Neighbors.

Our neighbors generally are the peo= pie who have houses near to our own, that nearness varying according to the size of the district and the number of householders of the same social rank as ourselves. In town they live i'll the same street; ill apartments they are on the same corridor; i'll the country they are separated by field only or a garden wall; in sparsely tenanted places they are at Q distance of mile or two miles, or it may be six. AnG the neighbor par excellence is the one who lives close alongside of ourselves-perhaps ill the other half of the semidetached house where we have our home or just across the road and opposite, not to the side. This is the general idea of a neighbor, and when we use the term we rarely mean aught else.
 But in point of fact we have neigh bors wherever we turn-men and wom- ell to whom we are bound to render such service of kindness as comes into the possibilities of the time and place. It is not only domicile and the rates and taxes which make us neighbors. It is not only when we live divided by a party wall cne from the other at the foot of the hill, or standing face to face across the road, when we can signal our goings out and our comings ill and be helpful and neighborly ill the matter of the garden roller and the preserving pan. It is not only when we know all the family history, and how our friends and neighbors are impeccable as to their grandfather and without the crooked lines of scandal across their family escutcheon. It is not necessary to be intimate, nor even to have been intro- duced, for the obligations of neighbor- liness to be strict and strong. For wherever. we can render service, show a courtesy or do a kindness we have our work cut out for us in the way of duty to our neighhor, and he is our neighbor who stands in need, great or small, of such help as we can offer.-Philadel- phia Times.
