Cheap Litiga tion.

While we have never shared the opin- ion of those who profess to foresee nothing but defeat for the Northern Securities Company as the ultimate re- suit of the suits against it, the great importance of settling in the highest court all the questions at issue has nos failed to appeal to us with increasing force. It is therefore a source of dis appointment that the injunction suit recently under hearing in this city should have disclosed dishonoraDle, or at least questionable, motives on the part of those responsible for it, and that it's conduct should have degener- ated into a performance possessing m more dignity than bit of opera bouffe.
 The proceeding turns out to have been a wholly artificial intervention a something very like a conspiracy. Viewed in the most charitable light 1t was nothing more than an effort to gain cheap notority or perhaps to jug gle the stock market into a movement of a point or two one way or the other. Its inevitable tendency is to discredit all similar litigation as insincere and speculative, and thus to deter honest shareholders with real or fancied griev ances from appealing to the courts to protect them in their rights. In its mood at the moment the public would simply laugh down any minority stock holder who might happen to want to test the validity of a corporation merger.
 It is deplorable that questions pos- sessing real dignity and importance should fall into such cheap handling New York Commercial.

EVENING HYMN.

Lo, the day of rest declineth.
 Gather fast the shades of night; May the sun that ever shineth Fill our souls with heavenly light Softly now the dew is falling; Peace OCT all the scene is spread: On his children, meekly calling, Purer influence God will shed. While thine ear of love addressing, Thus our parting hymn We sing Father, give thine evening blessing, Fold us safe beneath thy wing.

The contest between Charles NJ. Shannon and Colonel Wilson for the nominatio by the democratic conven- tion for delegate to congress will be practically at an end tonight though the convention will not be held for three weeks. It may be said that the con- test will be ended when the results of the primaries in the four wards of the city are known. At the present time if appears that the Wilson forces will win. It is the opinion of those who have gone over the field carefully that they will carry the First, Third and Fourth wards, and that will be enough. If the support expected in the country districts on the north side of the river should be forthcoming. they could lose another ward and still win. But then a victory in politics is never won until the votes are counted, and the votes in this contest will not be counted until tonight.

Checking Matrimonial Folly.

There was a Daniel come to judg- ment in the court of general sessions the other day, in the person of Judge Foster. A young scoundrel was before him, convicted of stealing. It was pleaded for the prisoner that young woman was waiting to marry him, in order to reform him, and that he should therefore be let go. The judge shrewdly remarked that that was one of the best reasons for not letting him go, and he then sent him to jail for six months, with an expression of hope that in that time the young woman would acquire sufficient information and discretion to cause her to break her engagement with the prisoner.
 The judge was quite right. An in calculable amount of domestic misery and of human woe in general has come from the infatuated practice of mar rying a man to reform him." The thing does not work. It is against human nature. Instead of meaning rerorma- tion for the man, it means sorrow and degradation for the woman. If a bad man does not think enough of a woman to make himself worthy of her before marriage, he will not be likely to do so afterward. There are probably some exceptions to the rule. but in the over whelming majority of cases it is inex- orable.
 The chances are that if the judge had let him go and get married, instead of sending him to jail, this young crim- inal would within six months have been clubbing his wife with a bed slat because she would not rush the growler'' or go out and steal for him. New York Tribune.

Only a short time ago the oldest skull or, for that matter, piece of hu- man bone ever found was discovered in Kansas. The event is of more im- California, where the remains of a
 gigantic primeval bear have been To- cated. But the latter fact not less than the former is encouraging to scientists. It may be that sometime those lost an- cestors of ours that bridge the interval in developed form between the simian and human beings can bet picked up somewhere within American territory.

that he was a friend of the man whom he had injured; that it was his habit ual way of treating his friends, and that the bad result was a mere accident for which he ought not to be held pe- cuniarily responsible. But the court in reviewing the case, said: "The facts shown are sufficient to condemn the habit of so-called 'horse-play between grown men. The defense relied upon has been many times tersely expresse1 l by younger people in the phrase, I didn't mean to- Plaintiff was injured through no fault of his own. His right to be secure in person was violated. The appellant was responsible therefor. His act was the primary cause of the plaintiffs injury"

ganization Of the company. The plan was to be put into execution immedi- ately after the annual meeting of the stockholders which was to be held at Denver on Wednesday. MT. Gates had selected the president for the recon mind the new directorate. The only obstacle he could see to the carrying out of his plan was the few days that intervened before the date of the Den yer meeting. But time would remove that obstacle.
 That meeting has not been held. though the time for it is passed. Or, to be more accurate, the meeting was be- gun but was adjourned by an inJunc- tion before the time came for the elec- ton of new officers and directors, so that the Colorado Fuel and Iron com- pany remains unreconstructed.
 The injunction does not mean that MT. Gates is permanently beaten. Those who know the man have little doubt that the victory of his adversaries will be short lived if he has the law on his side on a hearing to dissolve the in- junction or make it permanent, but he has been taught that injunctions are not. as Mir. Bryan and many other per sons suppose, for the sole purpose of aiding in the oppression of the labor ing man. In this case it was employed for the temporary relief of the weaker party who had no other remedy. The weaker party may not deserve a reme- dy, and if it does not, when the proper time comes the protection of the court will be withdrawn. That is the way with all injunctions. Courts no doubt abuse their power sometimes, but no one would desire that the power to apply heroic and only remedy against wrong should be abolished.

Experts who make special study of treasury operations are still predicting that the new revenue laws will not prevent a surplus of government in- come for the current fiscal year. But just at present expenditures are run ming considerably ahead of the receipts. The excess of the former during the past week has been almost two million dollars, bringing the deficit for month and a half of the fiscal year Ep above nine and a half millions. It is still too soon, however, to draw any general conclusions. The free gold in the treas- ury is still growing and the total or available cash ranges round two hun- dred millions without any special signi- ficance in it's changes.
