SNOW BUSINESS BY INJUNCTION.

The miscellaneous interference of courts
of injunction has never been more strik-
ingly demonstrated than in the attempt
of one of the judges of the district
court to regulate and operate the amuse-
mcnt section of the exposition. In this
instance the injunctions have been not
only unprecedented but followed up by
contempt proceedings that have no
countenance in law or justice.
The fundamental principle of the judi
cial power to restrain any action is that
the party aggrievcd has no other ade-
quate remedy to protect his rights. The
mere allegation that n contract has beer
violated to the detriment of one of the
contracting parties affords no occasion
for judicial Interference by injunction,
especially when n suit for damages can
be instituted to repair any injury or loss
sustained. The idea of issuing injunc-
tons to stop the owners of an Arabian
camel from exhibiting the animal be-
cause another claims to have an eXclu-
sive contract for an Egyptian show had
never been entertained until an Egyp.
tian fakir booth was given space in the
Omaha exposition. If the court can
lawfully enjoin the use of a camel OF
the introduction of oriental costumes on
the backs of acrObats and dancing
ONE it can enjoin the giant see-saw
from swinging or the Italian gondOliers
from padding on the lagoon on the APP
plication Of any adventurer who pre-
tends to nave a contract for exclusive
privileges covering these features.
In the next place, the grant of an in
junction to make an exclusive RICH
effective is nothing more nor less thar
an attempt to legalize monopoly, whicl
is repugnant to u constitution ant
laws. This is certainly a new departure
If the courts can by injunction regu
late, restrain and control an exposition
authorized by act of ngreSs villa
Is to hinder them from taking upol
themselves the management of theaters
circuSes and the whole show business
If they can establish a monopoly il
camels by injunction they can witt
equal pIopllety use Tic po"eT u III
junction to come to the rescue of TIL
theatrical trust whenever it may b
threatened with competition.
The natural sequence of this interior
ence with the exposition by %injunctioI
is the usurpation by the court of til
powers vested in its board of managers
If ON the other hand the courts nave bee
invoked by adroit showmen for the pun
pose of procuring free advertising the
will not gain anything in reputation o
popular respect by lending the judicia
machinery to such schemes.

tons there affecting the export trade of

hNlNt
II looks likcdthee beginning of the end
OF trials for lwreSy has at last been
reached. 1t Is not that men differ less
in their views son theological questions
nor has the effort to find n common
basis for all fdithibecn abandoned. but
there has been ever since the days of
the inquisitionA gradual loss of the I'M
portancc attaching to herosy eases and
kindred phenomena of religious life. The
recent action of the PrcsbytrrianS in re-
lation to the strange views Of Prof. Me
Gilfcrt as disclosed in his book leaves
no doubt that many influential church
leaders have h come convinced that men
suspected of hcreSy may be dealt with
in II way more satisfactory than by re-
sort to formal trial.
Unless the charges made by the Pitts
burg presbytery were grossly eXaggcr-
ated, the case of McGiiIert is even more
serious than was that of Prof. Briggs
or Prof. Smith, both of whom success
fully resisted efforts to silence them by
decree of ecclesiastical courts. Prof. Nc
Gilfert's book Is described as 'the most
daring and tEorough-going attack on tie
New Testament that has ever been made
by nj accredited teacher of the Presby-
terrain church in America" and of his
! work 1t Is said that he destroys super.
naturallsm altogether by subjecting the
narratives to scientific analysis, and he
tests the unknown and unknowable by
the known and material" Instead OF
meeting these charges with n demand
for trial, the general assembly planned
for peace by leaving the case with Prof
McGiffert himself, requesting that he
quietly leave the ministry eff lie cannot
conform his views to the standards OF
our church."
Conviction for heresy does not now
mean physical punishment. nor loss OF
means of a livelihood, nor even persona
disgrace, but there is necessarily abou
hereSy trials in their mildest form mucl
of hnrshness and that which engender!

WESTERN AND EASTERN SCHOOLS.

There was loud complaint uttered by
eastern educators when the school board
OF New York City, just entering upon a
new policy for tile schools of the me-
tropolis, sent TO Il city west of the Mis-
souri, river for Il nan to place at the
head of the new boys high school, the
most important position in the public
schools of that city. The notoriety grow
ing out of the incident simply served as
a good advertisement of the superior
educational methods of the western
states. a7s
Comparisons between the western and
eastern public schools, whether in re-
gard to their pumber, the money con-
tributed for their support, the school
methods in use, the efficiency of the
teachers or the results of school work,
are practically all favorable to the west.
In the school year ended last June there
! were employed in the states and terri
tories of the transmississippi region $780,
314 teachers, while in the states
east of the river the number employed
vas 26S, III. Nearly one-half Of all the
| DuDllC SIhOo NhC VI thC w
States are in the transmississippi coun-
try, which contains probably not more
than a quarter of all the inhabitants of
the country. Necessarily the cost of
education in the western public schools
is greater than in those parts of the
country where population is denser. AS
to practical results, the tables of litter.
acy show that the western schools are
doing the work for which they are sup
ported. A comparison of the muster
rolls Of the western states with those
of any section of the country will not
cause any western person to blush.
Because of this high educational
standard set up and maintained in thai
part of the United States which has be
come a newer New England because
western teachers are progressive and ag
gressive and because they realize fully
the educational advantages of the Trans
mississippi Exposition, the educationa
convention to be held the last week OF
the present month in Omaha is sure t.
be n grand success.

New York and the Exposition.

July IL having been selected as New York
day at the Omaha exposition, and the Mer-
chants association having taken an active
interest in making the day a creditable one
for the Empire state, it now remains for the
people to do their share. The reduced ex-
odus to Europe this summer because of the
war with Spain has thrown thousands tour
ing Americans back upon the resources of
their own country for travel and a pleasant
change of scene. Here is an opportunity, it
would appear, for many New Workers unfa-
miliar with our northwest to visit that de-
lightful region, stopping incidentally at
Omaha to help in making July IL worthy of
the place it occupies in the exposition cal
endar.

REPRESENTATION AT PARIS.

Congress is disregarding intelligent
public sentiment, as well as the com
mercial interests of the country, in not
making provision for the proper rep
resentation of the United States at the
Paris exposition. An appropriation for
this purpose, as recommended by the
president, should have been made long
ago and the idea of refusing it because
n portion of h press and people of
France have shown sympathy with
Spain is indefensible if not discredit-
able.
A few days z the president sent to
congress IA report made by Mr.. Cridler,
third assistant secretary of state, on the
Paris exposition, accompanying it with
Il renewal of his recommendation for n
liberal appropriation. The report urges
that 1t would be unfortunate for com
mercial reasons We're the United STAT, s
10 decline to make an adequate rep
resentation, Having accepted the inyi.
tation of France to participate there
was ssumed IN obligation TO provide
the requisite means, but aside from this
the vast business interests of the United
States should be adyantageously dis
played in competition with foreign
lands. Our growing export trade, says
the report, would gain by an exhibit
and there can be no question that the
beneficial effect in this direction woult
be very great.
The Paris exposition promises to ex
eel any similar enterprise ever held il
Europe and undoubtedly will In som,
respects surpass our Columbian expOsi
