THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 115, IS97. For House of Delegates: WILLiAiT! B. SPRATT. ?TR NOMINEE F0T SENATE. The Republicans of this Sen: : irial district, in their convention held at Cedar BlutT last Friday, nominated Dr. Robert 0. Meade.of Russell county, as their candi? date for the State Senate. From what we have seen and heard of Dr. Meade the choice is a good one. He is a man of unu sually fine personal appearance, of st I ling integrity and considerable intelh dual force. Dr. Meade was born and rai.- d at Bluegrass, Russell county, is the son of Mr. W. R. Meade. a well-to-do farmer, and is now thirty years old. lie hat* !>een a Republican ever since he became a v. >ter, and is well posted in party doctrines. Nearly all his life has been spent as a toiler on the farm. By his industry he made the money with which he secured his education, and is to some extent a self made man. lie is pre-eminently a man of the people. About six years ago he completed his profession? al education, graduating therein with, dis tiuction. He located at Bluegrass,an ! has acquired a lucrative practice among the people with whom he has been associated all his life. This shows that he is a man of force and character, for it is a well established fact that men in all professions are more likely to succeed among stranreis. Dr. Meade did not seek the nomination, but accepted it at the urgent request o! friends, and because of his devotion to the party. As our candidate he will makes luave and successful fight. He is a poor young man, who did not inherit money b.igs and has not vet been able to accum? ulate much of this world's goods: but with the galknt Republicans of the third Sena? torial district stauding unitedly for him he will be sure to win in November. Let no Republican taller, let every one in the district go to woik and Mead<: will be triumphantly elected. BUSINESS ACTIVITY. Our Democratic friends are trying very hard to create the impression that the re? vival of business throughout the country is caused by something else than the- Re? publican party: The heavy advance in the price of wheat they ascribe to provi? dential causes entirely. There can be nu question that the advance in wheat ha> been occasioned, to some extent, by i-hort crops in other countries, but that is not the sole operati ng cause, as our Demo? cratic friends pretend to believe. They must remember that nearly half a million more persons are at work on our railroads and in our factories than were at work this time last yeat. This means a very largely increased demand for bread in our own country, and this increased den.and would necessarilv advance the pi ices ol wheat and corn. We find that corn lias also advanced, and that the prices of all kinds of agricultural products have been greatly improved. These advances, in everything except wheat, it mast be ad? mitted have been produced by conditions that exist in our own country. There is a great revival in all kinds of business. 1-abov is more constantly employed and is receiving better wages. Our Democratic fiiends cannot hide these facts by throw? ing over them their weak arguments :;:jout the causes that have given the farmer a dollar a bushel for his wheat. The people see that confidence in the Republican par? ty has wrought the change and given our country another era of prosperity. -??> This is indeed a farmer's year. Just think of it! A wheat crop worth over $500,000,000, a com crop worth over ?700,000,000, cotton that will bring over $300,000,000, oats worth ?200,000,000, rye and barley worth $70,000,000, making a grand total of nearly two billion dollars, with hay, eggs, fruits, vegatables and dairy products yet to be heard from.?Roanoke Times. And our esteamed contempoary in the same column from which we clip the above says: "A grateful nation will go down on its knees in thankfulness to him (McKinley) for the famine in India, the destroying floods in Ru&iaand the drcuth in South America. In this sneering way the Times tries to discount the prospe rity that is now being enjoyed by the agiicul turists of the country. There may be some reason in the claim that the price of wheat has been in a measure advanced by the causes assigned by the Demcci atic press, but they say nothing about the cause of the general prosperity that the farmers ate now enjoying. -? Goveknob O'Febrau is out in a long letter in the Richmond Times answering a statement of Senator Daniel which was a criticism of the position of O'Ferrall on the action of the Roanoke convention. The let? ter is caustic as much so as was Daniels' statement. Let these respective champions of the two wings of the Democratic party in Virginia continue to expose each other. They make more onspieious the insincerity of tiie party in this State and arrogant demagogism of ite leadership. OTerrell'e j sudden conversion to the gold standard is a worthy theme for Daniel and Daniel's pretended lack of knowledge of the mean? ing of the Chicago platform is a subject for O'Ferrall to dwell on. Go it old boys,"and may the devil take the hindmost." O'Ferrall ho? decidedly the best of the Silver Tongued 0 ator in their newspaper coulroveisy. We hardly thought the Governor would !>e an equal of the Senator with the pen, but there is a great deal in having truth on ones side. Daniel has lowered himself very much in the public esteem by preb uding that he did not understand the Chicago platform as ethers understood it, that is, in its assault upon I President Cleveland and the Supreme I Court Our business n n are divided on the question of go. I trade vs. bad trade. The majority, ;:? .ever, agree that trade is better than it ho been for years. Wc trust it may remain permanent.?Roanoke World. J low cruel of thee, our Roanoke con? temporary, to trust that prosperity which it claims is b; -cd on the unfortiuate shortage of bread stuffs in other countries] ! shall remain pel tnanent. .-?4*? Some of our Democratic friends arc dis? posed t*>make light of the candidacy ofj j Dr. Meade for l! e Senate. They think because he i? not wealthy and is not well known in this diel riet that he will be no com? petitor for their wealthy candidate. When the Republican t andidateshake hands with the people they v ill realize that he is one j of them and is the champion of the great principles af Rcpublicaism. Senator Daniel is the only prominent j j man in his party who did not recognize the "government by injunction clause'' ofj the Chicago platform as an attack upon Mr. Cleveland Maj. Daniel must have j been very indifferent to the utterances of the Democratic press in 18% and paid little attention to campaign orators, or he would have found out what it took him a year to learn. We were told I st fall that the triumph of the Republican party meant ruin to the] agricultural tute; sts of the of the country. The Republicans won, and the predictions of the Bryanites are being refuted by a splendid condition of prosperity which the Democrats are trying in every way to account for, and pronounce temporary. Mr St.Clair is a nice gentleman und a very worthy citizen. He is a capitalist, the kind of a man Democrats affect to de? spise. His political record is clouded with the vole he gave for the Walton law { a-: Senator for this district. Ir is announced that Mrs. Mary Lease j will go to Alaska in the Spring to hunt for gold. It isi a pity she could not be there during the winter months and make some of her ral hot Fpeeches to the miners: and warm things up a little. Meade and Si ;iatt are young men of j tine qualities. They are true Republicans, and the man in Tozewell who believes in Republican principles and fails to ^ote for them will be guilty of a great wrong. iTalmost chokt saDemocrat to admit that ??perity is- here. He tries to make him? self believe it is only temporary. Poor fellow, he must have something to crawl out on. Xo man who voted for the Walton elec? tion law can be elected to the Senate from this district. Lei the friends of Mr. St.Ch'ir j remember this. It Preserved the Peace. Piiiltiilel]>LiM fro-.1 Some editors reputed sane and some or? ators whose gent ral sanity is less patent speak of "government by injunction" as if it were a new form of privateassassination. "Constitutional liberty is invaded by the supplanting of the due process of law," says the Springfield "Republican." The due process of law is sometimes too slow. Its defect is that it follows rather than precedes. Equity was invented to correct its defects. In civil matters the law allows damages for injuries. Equity seeks to pre? vent injuries from being done. On the criminal side the law provides punishment for crime. Latterly the equity powers of the court have been invoked to prevent crime being committed. The Supreme Court of the United States says this is en? tirely proper. Sjtne critics, not content with this authoritative judgment, grow red in the face in denouncing "government by injunction." Thus far no harm lias come frem gov? ernment by injunction. Some blatant and disorderly fellows have been arrested and fined for disregarding the injunction and committing a bn ach c?f the peace. These arrests have had two consequences. They afford texts on which perversive orators grow, if not eloquent, at least noisy and abusive in denouncing the courts. An? other result is that the coal miners' strike has been the freest from disorder of any strike of its character and magnitude in the history of the country. Those who fear that lhafr constitutional is infringed by the courts forbidding men to do that which is unlawful under penalty of summary ar? rest and punishment would do well to look more carefully into the special cases where the courts have used their power. That a power is capable of beingabused and made oppressive if usen immoderately and with? out the restraint of prudence is no argu? ment against it3 use under a due sense of responsibility. We know of nothing that is helpful to mankind that is not hurtful in excess. The cases in which courts granted in? junctions against specified unlawful acts, toward which the striking coal miners showed a disposition, are very much alike. The judges did not in every case set forth fully the exact state of facts on which they based their action. The opinion of Presi dent Judge John A. Mcllvain, of Wash L?gton count}-, Pa., published in the "Le gal Intelligencer," shows with jjreat ch ar ness what the courts interfered with in these strike injunctions and why they in? terfered. The injunctions were not granted against strikes nor against strikers influ eucing others to strike by the arts of per? suasion. Judge Mcllvain, in his decision, holds that working men have a right to strike, to publish reasons for the same and to persuade others to follow their exam? ple. They may hold meetings, make speeches and parade within reasonable limits?-do anything, in fact, that does not iuteifere with the rights of others. Strikers may march in a legitimate parade; "but a parade confined to a limited piece of pub? lic road before a pit mouth and under a tramway, repeated two or three timen a day for ten days or two weeks, loses the characteristicol legitimate parade, and when directed ag.iinst the interests of the mine owner over whose land ti e 1 >ad pisses, and indulged in contrary to his ex? press command, it is a trespass." Being a trespass and such an interfen :ice with the rights of others it becomes tbe duty of tbe court, on proper application, to intervene to slop this trespass and in? centive to disorder before irremedi ble mischief has been done. The strikers may use all lawful persuasion to get others to join them, but Judge Mcllvain points out "there is a dividing line between persua sion and coercion. Language by which the working miners are called scabs, black? legs, black sheep, etc., accompanied with threats of personal violence should they not cease work, uttered and made by indi? vidual? engaged in the common pur; ose of the strike, is clearly intended to coerce and not persuade, and tends to create a breach of the peace and to provoke a 'Cr sunal conflict between two largo bodies of men, and therefore cannot be claimed to be lawful persuasion.'' The court will en? join such coercion before it provokes riot ami bloodshed. To march in an orderly manner in the public highway is a legiti? mate privilege not denied to any body of strikers. But wherein do the courts err when they enjoin a parade when the Evi? dence shows that the paraders consist of a body of Strikers, armed with sticks, ma ch ing and countermarching close to the } it's mouth where non-strikers were at work and in front of their houses where the wives and children of the working miners cowed in terror?the paraders singing "We'll hang black legs on a sour apple tree," using opprobrious epithets and threatening language toward the men who would not join them? To forbid Euch dem? onstrations and punish their repetition is to protect the peacably disposed, prevent riot and violence by stopping a perform? ance which is a direct provocation of dis order. It is not true that the law is adequate to meet such cases without invoking equity. The law provides a remedy for most wr< >iigs but the wrong must be committed before the remedy can be invoked. The law will pnnbh rioters, but equity, being advised of the danger, will intervene to prevent the riot. What constitutional rights are invaded by such interference? Is it br-tter to let things lake their natural course and then call out the militia to suppress the ri? oters? It is well to put out a conflagration as soon as it is under way. It is still bet? ter to prevent its being kindled. It is this latter function that the injunction has till? ed in the recent strike. It preserved the paace. I?I?
