ut was a judicial tribunal which, in
France, during the long reign of her
monarchs, lent itself to be the instru-
ment OF every tyranny, as during the
brief reign Of terror 1t did not hesitate
to stand forth the IMPLYING accessory

1t was a judicial tribunal in England,
surrounded by all forms Of law, which
sanctioned every despotic caprice of
Henry VIII, from the unjust divorce
Of his queen to the beheading Of Sir
Thomas More; which lighted the fires
OF persecution that glowed at Oxford
and Smithfeld, over the cinders of
Latimer, Ridley and John Rogers;
which, after elaborate argument, up
held the fatal tyranny Of ship money
against tho patriotic resistance OF
Hampden; which, in defiance Of justice
and humanity, cent Sydney and Rus
sell to $he block: which persistently
enforced the laws Of conformity that
our Puritan fathers persistently re-
fused to obey, and which afterwards,
with Jeffreys on the bench, crlmsoned
the pages Of English history with mas
sacre and murder, even with the blood
Of innocent women.
AYE, sir, and 1t was a judicial trlb-
unal in our country, surrounded by
all the forms OF law, which hung
witches at Salem; which affirmed the
Constitutionality Of the stamp act,
while it admonlshed Jurors and the
people to obey, and which now, in our
day, has lent It's sanction to the unut-

At the close of the war, the late

nous Milligan case, while commenting
upon the tendency Of the courts to
usurp power, stated that when King
Alfred the Great attempted to correct
the abuses which had grown up in his
kingdom, he found 1t necessary to
hang upwards Of sixty judges. While
the Americans may not be able to hang
lot of their usurping judges, the day
Is dawning when they will impeach
and send into everlasting disgrace
number of men who commit these
crimes against free people.

The signs Of the times are very
promising. The conscience of the peo-
pie is fast awakening to present condi-
tions Four months ago 1t seemed as
IL Imperialism and militarism would
blind the eyes Of the people and that
the prospect Of false glory would OBJ
scure the patriotism OF the masses. A
wonderful change has come over the
public mind-the love and veneration
for the declaration of independence is
still supreme In the hearts Of the
patriotic people; the love Of human
liberty Is still widespread among
Americans, and we rejoice that 1t Is
not confined to any one party or any
one locality. The voice OF the noble
republican leader, George s. Boutwell,
Of Massachusetts,, now So years old,
sounds as loud and clear as when in
1850 he plead the cause of the fugitive
slave. or when In 1861 he defended the

ALTGELD STIRRED UP
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION
AGAIN DENOUNCED.
Two Mon Sentenced for Six Months Inn
prlnonmcnt without Having Commit
ted Any Crime Under tho Lava
sample of tho Corporations Influence,

Ex-Gov. Altgeld OF Illinois has ad-
dressed the following letter to the
editor OF the Illinois State Register,
It is fully characteristic of the grand
old man Of Illinois, who never eGuivo-
Gates on any subject:
notice an able editorial in your
paper on a fragrant case of government
by injunction in the United States
court at Springfield. Three men were
sentenced to prison for six months, not
on q charge Of violating any law, but
simply Of having disregarded an in
junction. 1t appears that Judge Allen
Of the United States court at Spring
field had issued an injunction in case
OF q dispute between coal-mining
corporation and its employees. OF
course the Injunction was in favor OF
the corporation and against the en-
ployes. II related to matters over one
hundred miles from the court. II the
injunction covered matters that were
already covered by law, then 1t was
unnecessary, and Its only purpose
could have been to deprive the men OF
trial by jury, II 1t covered things
not already covered by law, then 1t
was simply legislation; that is, the
Judge made law himself and called 1t
an injunction, In either case 1t was
usurpation and violation Of the fun
damental principles Of our govern
ment Having thus Issued this injunc-
ton, the judge then had these men ar
rested, sat In Judgment himself in
their cases and, without an indictment
and without a jury trial. he sentenced
them to prison; he being thus legis-
lator, Judge and eXecutioner All this
not for things done in the presence OF
the court, but for things alleged to
have been done over one hundred miles
away. There Is not country In
monarchial Europe in which Judge
would for one moment think OF exer-
clsing such power, AS you say;
III these men had violated any law,
they should have been indicted and
tried by jury Of their peers; and, II
found guilty, had the penalty OF a law
inflicted upon them. That would have
been government by law and in con-
formity with the spirit Of the constitu-
tion Of the United States. But In the
case OF these men sentenced to six
months Imprisonment, they were not
charged with violation OF law, but SIM
ply dsobedlence OF an order Of court"
The fact that they were not given a
trial by jury indicates that there was
no case against these men and that
they could not have been convicted In
the orderly administration Of justice.
The constitution Of the United States,
and the constitution OF all the states,
guarantee to every man the right OF
trial by jury in all cases before he can
be punished for crime. This funda-
mental right, guaranteed in the most
Solemn manner by law, is thus brushed
aside with a wave Of the hand and men
are sent to prison at the mere whim
Or caprice of judge. As On American

that j. H. Lners Drug Co have been

BRADLEY CHAPLIN.

The subject Of this sketch was born
in Cambridge, Vermont, Sept. 5, 1887,
and died in Cresco, May Is, 1899, aged
81 years, s months and 10 days. His
parents came to GAINESVILLE, Wis, when
he was a child, he residing with them;
from there he came to Decorah and
was employed in the tin shop of Finn
Bros, where we became acquainted
with him in 1858. Two years later he
came to Howard county, opening tin
shop in New Oregon, where he re-
mained conducting that business in
connection with stoves and general
hardware until the advent of the rail-
road to Cresco, when he was among
the first to locate here, building, own
ling and occupying the store in Union
block south Of and adjoining that of
DIR. Clemmer, and there continuing
the stove, tin and hardware trade un-
TIL about 1889.
Although his hand and purse were
always open to the poor and needy, by
application to business and dStrictecon-
omy, though starting without means,
he accumulated a handsome property,
leaving competence to his wife and
children, and above all a name for
strict integrity and upright dealing.
He was married with Miss Emma
Niles, Feb. 10, 1871, which union was
blessed with two daughters, Clarice
and Helen, both of whom, with the
widow, live to mourn his death.
In 1882, Mr.. Chaplin and his family
moved to Chester where he conducted
a store stocked with general merchan-
i disc until their return to Cresco some
il two and a half years since.
i Mr.. Chaplin was man of more thar
ordinary intelligence, and had he pos
sessed the confidence in himself o1

to this exploded theory for the preven-
tion of small pox. 1t says:
A remarkable agitation in England
against compulsory vaccination has at
last carried the day. The fight was a
bitterly contested one all along the
|.line. The vaccination act is now
amended in such a way that parents
who represent rhat they have consci-
entious scruples against the yaccina-
tion of their children are to have their
own way. The agitation has been
waged in England on two grounds.
First is the ground that vaccination
itself is a delusion and snare, highly
injurious to health and of no avail
against smallpox. The other ground
is that of personal liberty where con-
scientious scruples are involved. Per-
haps the more fundamental truth lies
in the fact that the progress of hy-
giene and sanitary science is rendering
smallpox almost an extinct malady, so
that the time is arriving when such
special precautions as yaccina tion may
be regarded as belonging to bygone
times.

To levy direct tax OF per cent is

there is method by which you can

that is to tax great many articles of
