The coroner's jury this afternoon return

for an injunction to restrain the commits
sioners of school lands from selling the
@,OO0 acres of the Irwin tract, upon the
ground that it had been redeemed by King
from all forfeiture; that Irwin had no title
whatever, and never had and that the
sale of the land would be a cloud upon
the King title. An order was therefore
issued by Judge Jackson requiring the
commissioners of school lands of Logan
county to show cause why the injunction
prayed for by King should not be grant
ed. A day was set, and in the meanwhile
the commissioner of the school lands was
restrained from making the sale.
Then Judge Doolittle directed the COM
missioner of school lands to disregard the
restraining order of the United States court
and sell the land. Judge Stiles appeared
and, in answer to the rule. denied all in
tention whatever of treating the court with
contempt, and stated that he had applied
for the injunction in good faith only in
his capacity as attorney for and in the

NOW, the Americans have most distinctly
shown that they can do certain things of
which all folks of the Anglo-Saxon strain
are habitually proud. They can night with
both skill and unquenchable courage; they
know now to handle 4 fleet, and they ex-
hibit special excellence on that element of
which Englishmen always believe that the
mastery belongs by prescriptive right to
their race. What is more the Americans
have displayed other qualities which touch
responsive chord in the British bosom;
They behaved with moderation and good
temper in the hour of victory, and with
conspicuous humanity and calmness amid
all the temptations and exasperations of
battle. Our kinsfolk. in fact have done
credit to the common family, and. natural
ly, We like them the better for it, They
are chips of the old block, after all and
they have shown, as we think that there
is something about the Anglo-Saxon which
puts him a step higher in the scale of
civilization than those lesser breeds with
out the law of which Mr.. kiDling speaks.
And the English would have to be a
much less warm-hearted and kindly tenn
pered people than they are if they were
not touched by the extraordinary mani
festation of gratitude with which their
diplomatic services to the United States
government have been recognized by the
United States people. Those services were
