Government by injunction is pros
titution of Justice The delay it occa-
sions as often as otherwise, perhaps
more often than otherwise, defeats
the right. Every step Jere Baxter
takes towards building railroads in
Middle Tennessee the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company by some
''next of friend, enjoins him; not
only retarding his progress and the
consequent relief from the robber
tariff of the aforesaid L. e. N. Co.,
but discouraging other promoters from
attempting to enter this sacred terri
tory of the L. & N. The whiskey
men of Columbia are to-day defeating
the wishes of the people and blocking
the enforcement of a righteous law, not
with much hope of ever gaining their
case. but merely as a play for time.
And wherever corporation interests or
whiskey interests become involved, the
law or the officers of the law, seem
always able to find a loop-hole some
where. A case in point, showing the
folly of this legal subterfuge called
government by injunction, has re-

the girl was permitted to continue at

Mr.. A. b. Rains has communica+
ton ia this issue which those of our
readers who are interested in the oil
discover Y, may find interesting. The
Herald is treating this question not
from any superior knowledge it has or
thinks it has, concerning it, but purely
upon the testimony of others. If Mr.
Rains was the only chemist who had
tested the product and testified i'll the
case, we would not undertake to combat
his finding; but as there are two 9th
ers, equally competent and credible, we
decide this point according to the pre-
ponderance of the evidence. AS TO
the source from which the spring
comes, we do not think Mr.. Rains
knows any more about it than anybody
else. He states, Dramatically, that
mother earth never sent forth such
product. That is an assump-
ton of the whole case. By one
bold stroke at the "limited knowl
1
edge of other chemists. he proves
his case to his own satisfaction,
but not to the satisfaction of those who
are unwilling so summariy to discredit
the other chemists. We do not believe
in the waste from the gas works theory,
because We believe the testimony Of
those who say the waste" was
there before the gas house was
built We do not believe in it be
cause the waste is too great. We
do not believe 10 it, because We
are told that the gas waste anC
the product of the spring are not the
same. One gentleman, who has "a
limited knowledge of chemistry,
says this waste from the gas works vii
not seep at all, to any appreciabe ex
tent, through the earth or 'be:ween tht
strata of limestone rock;' that it is en-
tirely too sluggish and gummery, ant
would quickly and successfully clog al
such stratas. So you see how ''grea
minds will differ" AS to Mr.. Rains
: thousand dollar wage--that prove
nothing, and we are surprised at his ba'
taste. The Herald is not engaged il
that kind of business, and the King
, Daughters do not make their none.

The Herald does not wish to "boom
Columbia on false hopes;" neither do
we wish to retard its natural growth
by accepting false theories We own
none of the stock of the Columbia Oil
Co., and have no more interest in the
alleged discovery than any other good
citizen. If it is veritable find, we
want to know it, if it is delusion we
want to know it; we therefore suggest
the following: Divert, altogether from
its present course, the waste from the
gas works. That is the easiest, cheap
est, quickest way to determine posi-
lively and unquestionably whether or
not the saidto- be oil in the spring
comes from the gas works or is fed
from some other source. This would
not determine it In day or a week,
but in a months time it would; and
it would determine it conclusively one
way or the other. Both sides of the
controversy we believe are seeking the
truth, and this OCCURS to us as the sim
plest and most direct way of determ-
ming the question.

Among the many fortunes made in
the Beaumont oil fields that of J. n.
Page, a poor hard working man, is
one of the most remarkable About
two years ago Mr.. Page bought Il
tract of fifteen acres of land situated
about four miles south of Beaumont,
paying less than $500 for the whole
tract. When the oil excitement began,
Mr.. Page began receiving offers for
his land. He went to Beaumont and
found that the tract was on SpiDdletop
Heights, in the very heart of the
proven oil district. Late developments
have proved conclusively that there is
oil under every foot of the land, and it
is now almost surrounded by flowing
oil wells. Land values went up with
lightning rapidity, and still Mr.. Page
declined to SELL He held out against
all offers until ten days ago, when he
sold one acre for $65, 900. Yesterday
he sold the remaining fourteen acres
of the tract for 5000, 600 which sum
was paid to him in actual cash.

CHICAGO COURT SENSATION.
Startling Denouncment In the Trial Of
Alexander Sullivan for Com
spiracy In Chicogo.

ma AZ
Chicago, Dec. IA sensation that
had previously been limited at by the
defense was sprung in Judge Smiths
court, yesterday, in the trial of Law
yer Alexander Sullivan, charged with
conspiracy in connection with jury
bribing in the Chicago courts.
Former Bailiff James J.. Lynch,
whose confessions have named Sulli-
van as the principal in his crimes of
jury bribing, and as the abetter in
his flight from justice, was quoted by
a witness as having, in a conversa-
ton in 1898, named George. A. Yuille,
and the directors of the West Chicago
Street Railway Co. as the men be-
hind him, and as having denied all
connection with lawyers.
John 7. Smith, claim agent for the
Grand Trunk and the Chicago Sc
Eastern Illinois railroads., was the
witness. Smith testified that, in 1898.
while defending a s against the
Grand Trunk, he encountered Bailiff
Lynch in the office of Lawyer Samuel
A. Lynde, the company's counsel. The
witness testified in effect that Lynch
proposed to fix the jury in the Ease
for $50, and that Smith said the
bailiff had better talk with Lawyer
Lynde about it, whereupon Lynch re-
piled that he never did business with
attorneys, as he had had experience
with one that taught him better.
The witness stated further that
Lynch had told him that he was doing
business for the West Chicago Street
Railroad Co., hat he represented Mr..
Yuille and the directors, that the
lawyers trying the cases were "suck-
ers;" that they thought they were
winning the cases; but that really he
was doing it, and that he was the
thirteenth juror.
This statement of the conversation
alleged was read to the witness by
Sullivan's counsel, and the witness
rect.
Later Lynch was called to the stand
and practically the same questions
were put to him, when he replied.
NO, I never said that nor any part
of it, and l never saw this man in
my life till | saw him to-dayin court"
Counsel for the state asked the wit
ness Smith why he had failed to go
to the states attorney when APP
for crime"
Mr.. Smiths answer was:
IF Attorney Lynde had caught him,
too, 1 would have come, but it was
only my word against his"
