#«3K f(eV/ Ulm Review ERNST WICHERSKI, W. JOHNSON,! PROPRIETOR EDITOR Wednesday August 18, 1897. Ideas of Others The Chicago Dispatch tells a few facts about silver and wheat in the following: Theie is a concerted attack all along the line on silver by the goldite piess, and the assault is assisted by Director Pieston of the United States mint bu reau. The rise in the price of wheat, pro duced by a short crop in South America and a famine in India, combined with a wheat pool at St. Lotiis, controlling one-half of the Septembei product, is quoted as proof of the great benefits of a gold standard. The fact is, wheat has appreciated because of an appreciated demand, and in spite of an appreciated currency. But it is the fall in the price of silver that gives the goldites the greatest joy. Calamity howling is their long suit now. Even the officers of the government can not conceal their joy over the calamity of falling prices for an American pro duct. "Hurrah!" they cry, "silver is go ing down, To be sure, it's a product of our people's labor, but, oh joy! it's gone off a point on the market, and be fore the year is out it will go off a point or two more. A lot of silver miners Will be ruined thousands of men will be thrown out of employment, a great industry will be destroyed, but silver has fallen in the market. Did you ever hear such good news?" An esteemed Republican contempora ry quotes Director Preston as saying: "The present decline in the price of sil vei is the natuial result of a production far in excess of the demand." If Pres ton said that he wilfully misstated facts, for Preston knows better. He knows that the fall of silver is primarily owing to the legislation against it as a money metal. The reason Preston gives for the fall in silver is an effect, not a cause, and Preston knows it. Falsifying facts is an old trick with advocates of the gold standard. They dare not tell the tiuth, for the truth is against them. The Chicago Record, a paper of emi nent fairness, rebukes the abuse of the injunction power in the following edi torial It is a wholesome sign of the indepen dence of public opinion in this country that the sweeping injunction gianted by Judge Jackson of West Virginia is ev erywhere calling torth decided and em phatic piotests. One of the greatest dangers threaten ing the integrity of the courts in recent years has been the reproach aroused by the misuse of the injunction power. Theie have been many instances of such abuse, but Judge Jackson's order re straining men from publicly speaking on the strike issues or endeavoring to en list sympathy and support for the min ers goes to the limit. An injunction against an effort to tiespass upon an employei's pioperty 01 to duve his men from then work might be understood, but this injunction is restiaint of the veiy constitutional principles which guaiantee to citizens the lights of fiee assembly and free speech. It is difficult to see how the injunction power could be stretched any further or made to in fringe moit deeply upon the rights and pnvileges belonging to citizens undei the national constitution and the state constitution of West Virginia. The injustice which such injunctions do to the persons at whom they are aimed is only part of the mischief they entail. An even more serious injury comes in the loss of respect for the courts, the popular contempt foi judic ial proceedings and the angry convic tions that the agents of justice, so far from fulfilling their part, are becoming merply the agents of greedy wealth in its oppression of poverty. It would not lequire many more orders like that of Judge Jackson to create a popular feel ing which in the end would undermine the courts of law and destroy their ef fectiveness for either good or ill. In the circumstances it is gratifying to see that so many observers on both sides of the mining contest are disposed to recognize the excessive and unreasonable natuie of Judge Jackson's order and condemn it heartily. 0rv Washington Gladden has wiitten an article for "The Outlook" on the resig nation of President Andrews. In it he gives his notion ol the ideal university, when he says: I am going to hazard my reputation' as a mau of sane mind by saying that to me it is conceivable that a college should fail of seeming large endowments, that it should become poorer, relatively, year byyear,and at the W tM^jbed-fog gocd work and more valiant and glorious ser vice for the nation and for humankind —drawing to itself an increasing num ber of the best students, awakening in them a higher kind of enthusiasm than we sometimes see in our highest colleg es, and sending them forth to take up a kind of leadership which is greatly need ed just now in America. This would re quire,of course.some sacrifices on the part of the teaching force but theie are men to whom that call would not be unwelcome —men who clearly understand that the life of a college, like the life of man, "consisteth not in the abundance of the things which it possesseth"—men who would count it all joy to teach in the plainest rooms, and to live as frugally as German professors live, if only they might be free to spe^k what they have seen. Perhaps the day is coming when the best work of colleges ct»n be done only by those which are known to be poor,%and are determined, for the truth's sake, to keep themselves poor. If that day should come, the men who would have the least reason to rejoice in it would be the men who are now doing what they can to hasten its coming. The Chicago Record thinks that a means has been discovered for abolish ing lynching. It says: An interesting and important experi ment which is on trial in North Carolina promises to afford a means ot abolish ing, or at least abating, the crime of lynching. The fact that certain horrible crimes, which would formerly have re sulted surely in a lynching party, have been left for the judgment of the courts is the best evidence that the expenment, if properly earned on, may prove suc cessful. With a special view to abolish lynch ing and secure speedy justice for a cer tain class of criminals,the state legislature enacted, some time ago, a law empower ing the governor, on the commission of an offense of this class, to order a spec ial term of court for the trUl of the criminals. A case which occuned not far from Raleigh recently is typical of the workings of the law when faithfully carried out. The citizens, when made aware of the crime, telegraphed to the governor, who ordered a special term of court to meet two weeks later and hear the evidence, and appointed one of the best-known Superior court judges in the state to preside. In the certainty that the accused would be tried at once, and that, if guilty, he would be hanged with in the next fifty days, the citizens made no attempt to molest the prisoner in jail, and he now awaits his trial by due pro cess of the law. Probably this remedy would not be efficient in all cases, or where the popu lace is peculiarly inflammable. But in the instance mentioned the crime was particularly revolting and there 13 con siderable race prejudice in the neighbor hood. It is fair to assume that, with the certainty that hideous crimes would be dealt with legally and with no needless delay, lynching would become decidedly less common. It is the expectation of delay and the doubt as to the outcome of protracted technical bickerings that lead people to take the law into their own hands If the Noith Carolina law is found to woik well on fuither tual it should be adopted in the other southern states Of Judge Jackson's injunction against Debs, the Boston Herald says "It is good judicial opinion that in enjoining Mr. Debs from inciting the employes of the Monongah Coke & Coal company from tiespassing upon the pioperty of the company, or the approaches thereto, or mteifeiing in any mannei whatever, either by word 01 deed, in the company's affairs, Judge Jackson of the United Stefces district court of West Virgiuia Si gone too far. It is the right and privilege of the company to a«k for and to receive the protection of the courts against trespasses upon its property, but it is scaicely within the power or author ity of the judiciary to go beyond this, as Judge Jackson has done. Meanwhile, Mr. Debs is not helping his case bv/ de nouncing the authority of the courts and by indulging in the violent and abusive language that characterizes most of his utterances. His remedy for any seem ing oppression is still in the courts, which can be depended upon to do jus tice without recourse to intemperate a buse or to blatherskite oratory." Wm. E. Curtis writing from England to the Chicago Record says: It is contended that the British bar ranks higher for ability, courtesy and integrity" than that of any other country of the world that theie is a greater re spect for law and justice, a higher ideal among banisters and a larger degree of conscientiousness in practice. When a British barrister makes a statement in court it is seldom questioned. -The judge, the opposing counsel and every body else concerned accept it as the truth, and it has even more weight than the evidence of a witness under oath. 4 Humor An Irishman who was out of work went on board a vessel that was in the harbor and asked the captain if he could find him work on the ship, says Tid Bits. "Well," said the captain, at the same time handing the Irishman a piece of rope, "if you can find three ends to that rope, you shall have some work." The Irishman got hold of one end of the rope, and. showing it to the captain, said: "That's one end, your honor." Then he took hold of the other end, and, showing it to the captain as before, said: "And that's two ends, your honor." Then, taking hold of both ends of the rope, he threw it overboard, saying: "And faith, there's an end to the rope, your honor!" He was engaged. Mexicans are not very fond of Span iards, and jokes are constantly cropping up in Mexico illustrative of the arrogance of the Spanish character. One now cur rent in Mexico runs as follows: A Span iard arrived at Vera Cruz'and stepped on shore just as an earthquake occurred. Putting on a benign smile,he said: "Trem ble not, Earth, I am not going to harm thee."—San Francisco Argonaut. There was* a young fellow who was in love with a young girl and could have secured her had he stepped up like a man and asked her. But he was bash ful and put it off. The other chap— who was energetic—came in ahead, popped the question and married her. After a couple of years of bliss he died and went to that place which begins with an "h." Our young man was determined not to get left this time. When the widow drove home from the cemetery on the day of the funeral he was on the poich. As she came up he said: "Henrietta, I waited too long the last time and lost you. Will you be my wife?" "Oh, George," said she, "I'm so sony. You're too late again. The undertaker asked me at the grave'"—Hardware. A certain justice of the peace having amved, previous to a trial, at a conclu sion upon a question of law highly sat isfactory to himself, refused to entertain an argument by the opposing counsel. "If your honor pleases," the counsel re plied, "I should like to cite a few au thorities upon the point." Here he was sharply interrupted by the justice, who stated: "The court knows the law, and is thoroughly advised in the premises, and has given its opinion, and that set tles it." "It was not," continued the counsel, "with an idea of convincing your honor that you were wrong,but I should like to show you what a fool Blackstone was At one of the great hotels, a gentle man seeking in vain for a candle with which to light himself to his room, passed a young lady who had two cau dles, of which she politely offered him one. He thanked her, and the next morning acknowledged the courtesy in the following epigram. The young lady was as handsome as she was polite 'You gave me a candle, I gave you my thanks, And add—as a compliment justl} your due Ther~ isn't a girl in these feminine ranks Who could, if she tried, hold a candle to you'" Argonaut An old negro who want ed a Christmas dinner prayed night after night "Lord, please send a turkey to this darkey." But none came to him. Final ly he prayed "Oh, Lord, please send this darkey to a tuikey." And he got one the same night. A small boy, Rev. Dr. Lambuth re lates, teased his father for a watch till he was forbidden to mention the matter again. At family prayers next morning, when asked for his scripture verse, the youngster repeated, "What I say unto you, I say unto all—watch."—Chautau qua Assembly Herald. ,~ An old country gentleman belonging to Lancashire, returning home rather late, discovered a yokel, with a lantern, under his kitchen window, who, when asked his business there, stated that he had come a-courting. "Come a what?" asked the irate gen. tleman. «_ *., "A-courting, sir. I'se courting Mary." "It's a he!" exclaimed the old gentle man.'"What do you want a lantern for? I never used one when Iwasayoungman.» "No, sir," was thu young yokel's re ply "I don't think yon did, judging by the missus."—TidlBits. *i$^*j£*44« A countryman was sowing his ground, when^two [young fellows, riding that way, called to him, with an insolent air: "Well, honest fellow, it is your busi ness to'sow, but we reap the fruits' of your labor." To whkhtbe countryman replied^!! "It is very likely you may, for I am sowing hemp."—Spare Moments.
