In imposing a light penalty on several
miners for violating an order of the court
Judge Keller, Of West Virginia, followed
the example of Judge Jackson in giving a
clear exposition of me law. He was par
ticular In explaining that the law would
not permit one set of men to intimidate
another set by demonstrations in force
to prevent them from working. Such ex-
positions OF the law must tend to convince
fair-minded men that what has been stig-
matized as government by Injunction is
simply a means Of enforcing and protect
ing personal rights. The law recognizes
all men as equal. whether they be men,
bers of labor unions or not. and it will
not permit one set Of men by force or in
timidation 10 attempt to prevent others
from the exercise OF their natural rights.

 So many tears have been shed over the passing of the buffalo that it is some- thing of a surprise to find that these great beasts have actually increased in numbers during the past year by fully 20 per cent. Last year there were living In the United States less than 800; this year fuller returns collected by the de- pertinent of the interior report 114S of course, this means tame or partly domes- ticated bison. and, indeed. the 72 running wild" in the Yellowstone National park have a quasl-domesticared character Only Canada. with 600 roaming west of the Great Slave lake, can fairly be said to possess herd But when one consid- CTS that in Montana there are 366, in New Hampshire (the Corbin reservationl 110 in South Dakota 6l; all on private ranges. and all-though subject 10 some disad- vantage from inbreeding, which may be easily obviated-increasing normally it will be seen that the case of the buffalo is much more hopeful than that of the great auk or of the vanished dodo.

China Is Peaceful.

"China seems to be extremely peaceful these days remarked a newspaper read CT last night. You never see anything much now in the newspapers about China except incidentally in relation to Corea or Russia I don't know why this is unless it is a kind of reaction after the Boxer movement and the trouble Is raising a war indemnity. l think sometimes that one reason China is so quiet is because Ii Hung Chang Is dead. often suspect ed that Li encouraged rebellions and wars because he. as Lord High Peace Maker, always got rather fat commits sions in arranging war indemnities. Ii was undoubtedly a great man. A great man, however, is not always a blessing to a country, and now that period has come upon China when the crop of great men seems short she will undoubtedly enjoy a period of peace. This is a favor able sign also in the United States-the total lack of great men in public life and as long as this lasts I think the country will be prosperous.

Heavy ReQistered Vote.

Tn forty-two counties the registered voters number 121, 1882. As these coun- ties are not two-thirds of the state, it is plain the registration of the state will exceed 175, 900, and nearly all of this handsome number consists of white men. There may be all told 5000 negroes registered, but the number is probably less.
 Jefferson is readily the leader in the registration lists, having 14,6S1 voters to it's credit Calhoun, Jackson, Henry, Madison, Montgomery and Walker each have over 4000. Thus far these are the counties of heaviest political power. Mobile is, however. the sec ond county in the state, and Henry the third. Henry's registration of 475O voters and Walkers registration of 4125. show the vast changes involved in the political revolution that we are
