the treason. .
There owl are now with a well dehned
issue made up between the extreme WING
of the Democratic party and the court
of Appeals of this Commonwealth our
Norfolk contemporary does not hesitate
one moment as to which way 1t will go.
1t proposes to stand by the platform ana
defy the court.
But the conservative journals OF Nir-
einia are Of a different opinion. Inc
Iynchburg News was quite as ardent
supporter OF the Chicago platform ana
the Chicago ticket as was the Nor1oik
Vireinian-Pilot. but the News comes out
boldly in defense Of the decision of the
Court of Appeals. and says that Tor us
mart it does not understand how any
court could exist without the power 10
compel respect and to enforce Obedience 10
its orders. Moreover our Lynchburs con-
temporary is unable TO understand how
such a statute as that which the court
has condemned should have been deemed
necessary in Virginia. 1--WE have never
heard It intimated," says the News
that the courts of this State abused their
power or showed any disposition 70 eN-
ercise its wantonly." Nor did anybody
else ever hear of it, There was no
necessity for such a stataute In Virginia
nor was there any need for 1t. Ihe
patron OF the bill. Mr.. Saunders OF
Franklin. made bold the declaration
when his bill was introduced. that its OBJ
iect was to vindicate the anti-injunction
plank Of the Chicago platform. In short
ii was a bit of political clap trap anu
for that reason. If for no other shouid

DOWN WITH THE COURTS {.

We cannot but admire the candor and
the courage of the Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot. From the first il was an earnest
and enthusiastic supporter of every plank
of the Chicago platform, and while others
have grown cold, It has lost nothing of its
original fervor II stands for free sill
yer. for opposition to government by
Injunction" and all the rest, and does
not remain silent when a blow is struck
from any quarter at the doctrines of
Mr.. Bryan. When tho Virginia Court Of
Appeals handed down it's crushing opin-
ion some time ago. declaring the anti-in-
junction statute OF Virginia to be uncon-
stitutional and menace to courts Of
justice. we asked the question what will
the Virginia Democracy do about it?'
We wanted to know whether the party
would stand by the Chicago platform. or
by the Court of Appeals which a Demo
cratic Legislature had chosen. There
were some few feeble protests against
the opinion. but most OF our contempora-
ries preserved a discreet silence. Not so
with the Nirginian-Piot. 1t denounces
the opinion Of the court with its usual
vigor and declared that the next Lcgls-
lature should set the court at defiance.
We quote:
The powers assumed BY the courts.

tempt as well as injunction are enor-

1t was bitter fight that the Altgeld

that "the trust evil viii cure itself. II

The Lancaster Pa) Examiner says that
one by one foreign countries are appre-
ciating the superior quality OF American

that notwithstanding the fact that wages
are higher in America than in France

compete with and even undersell locomo-
tive works over there. We could not do
this II we did not have the best mechanics
and machinery In the world.
The Springfield (Mass) Republican. In
commenting on the proposition TO annex
Nicaragua to the United States says that
there arc better methods of expansion
than mere territorial annexation, and
one of these is to be found IN the steady
railroad construction now in progress
which before long will send its uniiying
influence through all the regions from
the Rio Grande to Cape Horn. The Mica
ragus Canal and the North and South
American railroad are the two great pro-
tects OF the future. and both must be
carried out within the next several years.
