GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
From the Outlook.

A member of the New York bar comes
to the defense of government by injunc-
ton, in a letter which we publish in an
other column. We pursue our usual
course of not replying to this letter in.
detail, cOntenting ourselves with sim
pie restatement of the issue as we un-
derstand it, and of our position, leaving
it to the intelligent judgment of the
reader, In the light of our correspondents
letter, to decide whether that position is
correct or not.
The question is not whether the court
possessed authority to issue the iniunc-
ton in the Debs case, and to enforce it
by proceedings for contempt.
Nor is it whether the court acted Justly
in the exercise of that authority.
1t is the question whether that is an
authority which it is safe and wise to in-
trust to courts of justice. Our answer
to that question is-No.
There are two legal principles which
apparently come into collision. The
first is the principle that every man ac-
cused of crime is entitled to trial before
a Jury of his peers, who are free from all
Interest and all prejudice for or against
him. The other principle Is that courts
of equity shall have power to enforce
their DEGREES by proceeding for contempt.
In our Judgment, when these two prin
ciples come into apparent collision, the
second must yield and the first must be
maintained. That is to say, when the
charge of contempt involves the charge
of doing criminal act, the person so
charged is entitled to the benefit of the
first principle. He is to be tried by
jury of his peers, In court free from all
suspicion of interest or prejudice against
him. And we affirm this principle, not
because we distrust the character of our
federal Judges, not because we expect
that they will resent disobedience to
their orders as personal affront, but
because history demonstrates, beyond
all peradventure, that the mere posses
sion of arbitrary power by judicial
tribunal is certain to corrupt the tribunal
and to endanger the community. We
agree with our correspondent that law
is a growth; but there are some growths
that are dangerous and need to be re-
pressed others that are beneficent and
need to be promoted. A growth in the
direction of increasing the power of a
single Judge over the liberty of his fell
low-citizens is growth which is dan
gerous and should be repressed. "The
easy remedy, to have the contempt dealt
with by Judge other than the one who
issued the Injunction" is not adequate.
What we want is a law providing
that whenever an act in contempt of
court is also criminal act, the power of
the Judge shall be confined to that of or
dering the immediate arrest of the Of
fender and turning him over to the Grim
inal courts for trial. We object to any
method of action which allows In any
criminal case the cou to be grand jury,
petit jury, prosecuting attorney, and
Judge all in one; and if this question is
ever clearly brought before the Ameri-
can people, we believe that an over
whelming majority of them will agree
with us in this position.

The December term of the cOUpty
court came to an end at 9:l5 O'Clock
yesterday morning.
A recess was taken last Thursday till
Tuesday morning of this week, when
business was resumed. The principal
event of the day was the sentencing Of
the Hallocks and Thomas Brown, their
accomplice in the burning of Francis w.
Labor's barn in Bristol on the Sd of last
October. 1t was supposed that there
would be a stay of sentence in the case
of the Hallocks, pending the hearing of
their case in the supreme court, but
sentence was passed Notwithstanding.
Charles HallOck, the father, was sentenc-
ed to 10 years at hard labor In States
prison, with fine Of 81 and costs. The
respondent is In the neighbOrhood of 20
years of age, and although vigorous for
his years, is not likely to live out his
term. Stephen Hallock, the son, was
given sentence exactly like his fathers.
Exceptions have been taken and the case
will probably be heard in the January
term of the supreme court. Thomas
Brown, the young fellow who was fool
ed into setting fire TO the barn, was
sentenced to serve five years In the
house of correction at Rutland. Mr..
Fish spoke good word for Brown, but
the court did not see Its way clear to
give him lighter sentence.

We print In part elsewhere the lecture
of the Hon. w. j. Bryan at Atlanta. Ga,
it being the first of a series that he has
been engaged to give oyer the country at
$1,000 a night
Mr.. Bryan spoke without notes, and
the reading of the lecture shows that he
had something to say from start to finish.
1t is IN the hest taste and temper, being
simply common-sense talk on what might
be called the science of government and
with which hardly anyone could disagree.
The subject, too, is one that concerns
everybody, at least in this country, and
is ALWAYS timely.

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA.

recent sojourn of few weeks in this
southern city has impressed us most
pleasantly with the delightful character
of its situation and the great attractive
ness with which the place has been laid
out. We know of no pleasanter city in
the South none more desirable for winter
residence, unless an especially warm
climate is desired, in which case st. Au-
gustine or Southern Florida is preferable.
The population of Columbia is now
about 5000. Besides being the capital
city of South Carolina, it is prominent
centre of educational interests, and is,
too, well supplied with churches. Several
new large cotton factories have been
built, as we understood by New England
capital, and are operated under New Eng
land management.
The negro is a most important feature
at every point South. He is very con-
spicuous here at Columbia and looks both
happy and healthy. 1t is noticeable, too,
that nearly all are comfortably we'll, and
some, especially on Sundays, exceeding
ly we'll clothed.
Another thing that impresses a stranger
favorably at Columbia is the entire
absence of saloons, and also of drunken
ness; fon we didn't notice single per-

ly worthy of mention here, because of her re-
markable usefulness. She will be remem-
beled by many as a teacher OF a primary
class in the Congregational sunday school
few years ap o, and tor time she gathered
the children in her own neighborhood in
sumo day afternoon class which met In the
school house. For the last eight years or so
her activities in behalf OF others have taken
her away from home, and among other
places she was engaged i'm the Burlington

Christian Crusade work. and believing that
it opened a desirable way of doing good

these were OF men in middle lite and some
were considered hard cases, Her last Ill
ness, nervous prostratiOn, came upon her at
Woodstock Valley, Conn n place where she
had labOred and made many friends. In
spite OF the best of care she grew worse and
passed away Dec Is at the age OF 81. At the
funeral on the following Sunday afternoon
the attendance taxed the capacity of the
church, ana the bearers were from among
her converts. In a / that region she was
loved and there are many who owe a debt of
gratitude to her for what she did fof the sal

brought to Cornwall and after hriet services
at the house OF her brother in-law, f. Ran

Governor Pingree of Michigan says ::
"If the railroads would cut off their free
passes, do away with their lobbyists in
the legislature, discharge their high
priced attorneys, discard their 1000
mile tickets and permit all persons to
ride at the rate of two cents mile,
they would earn more money and be in
better favor with the public, from which
they derive their support"
