the Century.
DANGER OF JUDICIAL ABUSES
Ably Set Forth by tho Hon. II. c. Bell
i'll the Jeil'crsonian Democrat for

Years ago Charles Sumner, the pro-
found statesman and eloquent defender
OF the sacred rights of man, said: 'Iet
me say here, that hold the judges, and
O. specially the supreme court Of the coun-
try, in much respect, but am too familiar
with the history of judicial proceedings
to regard them with any supcrstitious
reverence. Judges alc but men, and in
all ages have shown fair share OF frailty.
The worst crimes of history have been
perpetratcd under their sanction. The
blood of martyrs and Of patriots, crying
from the ground, summons them to
Judgment.
These words were true when uttered by
Charles Sumner, and they are true today,
and they are being freshly evidenced by
ille Illegal acts OF trucking and tyranni-
cal federal judges, in the merciless en-
forcement Of that clowning judicial in
funny OF he century, and which we have
denominatel "Go}erument by Injunc-
ton"
Thomas Jefferson said that ii our lib

The u=lupAtons and entertainments o;

bids fair 60 become history in the not far
distant future.
From The days Of ponius Plate, who
murdered Chlist, TO The electoral com.
mission, that robbed liden and installed

present hour, some OF the most atrocious
crimes in all history have been perpe-
trated by compliant, inhuman and mer-
CHESS judges.

and sanctioned every act OF King Henry

ing OF Sir Thomas More.
1t was a judicial tribunal that sent
Latimer, Ridley, Servetius and John
Rogers to the flames, for contending for
the sacred right to worship God according
to the dictates OF their own consciences,
ard under the criminal reign Of that in
human monster OF iniquity, Judge JET
ferys, disgraced England with perfect
saturnalia Of judicial murder and stained
the pages Of her history even with the
blood OF innocent women.
1t was a judicial tribunal that burned
innocent and harmless men, women and
little children as witches in Massachu-
sets, and pushed and bufIeted the Man
OF Galilee, barefoot over the pavements
OF Jerusalem, fainting beneath his cross !;
and finally, amid the most excruciating
agony, and despite the convulsve warm
ings Of nature, wrenched ms spirit from
his quivering body OH the Cross OF
Calvary.
1t was judicial tribunal that sent the
young, innocent and inspired Maid Of
Orleans to the flames, and the beautiful
and unfortunate Mary, Queen OF Scots,
to the block.
1t was judicial tribunal that stole the
presidency in 1877, and that, subsequent

the black man had no rights man was
bound to respect, and that sent men to
prison for giving shelter and food to

for his blood. 1t was judicial tribunal
that set free a whole company Of hired
assassins that had shot to death an UNI
armed crowd OF marching workmen on
the public highways of Pennsylvania,
and that, subsequently, through Federal
Judge William J. Allen, Of Illinois, and
by virtue OF the dangerous power Of in
junction, without indictment, without in.
formation and without fair and impartial
trial by an impartial jury, sent three men
to Jail in Illinois, for the alleged viola
