GOVIEHKEHT BY IS JUNCTION.
Within the past f ewyears govern
ment by injunction has made rapid
strides in this country and so has
the scope of what injunction is or
: may become under judicial interpre
tation made rapid strides. The
present strike of the steel and iron
workers against the steel and iron
companies has thus far brought
three injunctions which show how
. far the injunction idea has gone but
not how far it may go under the
rulings of men who see and obey the
dollar and fail to see or regard the
man. These injunctions have been
" freely discussed by the press, as they
ought to be, for they . show what a
grip money is getting on the judges
when it can command such radical
rulings, rulings which make the
courts mere machines to stand be
tween organized labor and organized
capital, and help organized capital
in its fight with organized labor.
In cases like this the anti-Trust
papers might be suspected of haying
v a leaning toward organized labor now
stripped for the contest with the gi
gantic Trusts and therefore their
views might be regarded as biassed,'
but the New York Herald is an in
dependent paper, an impartial
chronicler of events of this kind,
and a candid critic when it enters
upon criticism. Here is the way it
expresses its views on the new de
parture by judges in the interest of
organized capital, these latest illus
trations of "government by injunc
tion:" "The injunction issued by the Supe
rior Court at Ansonio, Conn., "against
a body of workingmen on strike is de
scribed as 'the most sweeping of its
kind ever granted in the State.' It
' may be further characterized as one of
the most extraordinary that ever issued
from an American coart
"It enjoins two hundred men specifi
cally by name from "picketing, boy
cotting, threatening or in any way
molesting any one now in the employ
of the company or who may hereafter
be employed.' It is rendered still more
remarkable by the fact that it is ac
companied by an attachment of prop
erty of the strikers to satisfy damages
in ease of violation of the injunction.
From Cincinnati comes a report of
judicial views on the same subject
matter. The United States District
Judge there, while holding that "acts
of violence and even boycotting are
which they are- all interested, al
though there is no violence offered
or feared. If a judge can issue fan
order prohibiting workmen from

tion to it. ." The season is. longer in

to talk with them and persuade them
to act in concert, peaceably and
quietly cannot that same judge -or
any other , judge to whom appli
cation might be made issue an in
junction against the holding of
meetings by workmen or injunctions
prohibiting speakers from address
ing such meetings if held? They
might not do that because the at
tack on free speech would be so ap
parent that it would meet with uni
versal condemnation and opposition
and yet that would be no more an
infringement upon the right of free
speech than these injunctions to
which reference is herein made are:
The steel companies resort to va
rious ways to weaken strikes and
break them. They issue circulars,
employ such men as they can en
tice from the strikers, and offer in
creased pay to draw off the men.
If an injunction were asked for in
such case would it be granted? Of
course not, and yet these steel com
panies have no more right to thus
persuade workmen to abandon the
strike than the strikers have to use
their influence to prevent th&Vork
men in the employ of those compa
nies to join them, provided they do
it without intimidation or violence,
and leave those appealed to to exer
cise their own judgment after hear
fag the arguments addressed to them.
aBut this is a - day when money
talks, when it makes -its influence
felt in the courts, and when the
rights of organized labor are consid
ered as something of no moment
when compared with the rights and
privileges of organized capital, and
with it all we are beginning to real
ize what "government by injunc
tion" means and how far it may be
carried.
frost, and on the lands adapted to it,
if well cultivated, there is a larger
yield per acre than in the West.
For these reasons the South ought
to be a great corn producing section,
but it has not been because attention
has been more centered on other
crops which it was thought would
pay better. The way the West util
izes its corn crop and makes it pay
is by feeding it to the, hogs and
cattle, and converting it into meat.
The South could do the same and
become a rival of the West in corn
growing and in meat production.
According to an address delivered
before the State Bar Association of
Iowa, there is a large amount of per
jury indulged in by witnesses in the
courts of that State. One Judge was
quoted as saying that fifty per cent,
and another that Beventy-fiye per
cent of the testimony upon which
criminals were acquitted was per
jured testimoy. It may be inci
dentally remarktd that Iowa is a
very strong Republican State.
Since we have reached out and
taken in all those equatorial islands
we are getting a varied assortment
of bugs and other, varmints. The
latest is a bug about the size of a
bumble bee, armed with a long,
hard' dagger-shaped proboscis, with
which it bores into fruit trees and
rDins them. They have appeared in
great numbers in Westchester coun
ty, N. Y., and great is the conster
nation of the fruit-growers.
not to be met by injunction," ei press
ed nimseif as opposed to picketing,
and declared that he would "promptly
make the power of this court felt
against it." He described "picketing"
as "intercepting men while going to
or from the factory anywhere, even
miles away by one man or more
than one and an interference with in
gress and egress of workmen."
According to this definition picket
ing includes the use of moral suasion
argument, reasoning, or entreating
without violence, lawlessness or dis
order. An injunction against it is an
injunction against the right or liberty
of one man peaceably to per
suade another by reasoning or win
him over by appeal. A violation of
the injunction is a penal offence,
punishable by fine or impris
onment, or both, at the discretion
of the Court. Any man or any nam
bar of men two hundred were includ
ed in the Ansonia injunction may
thus be enjoined by order of a single
judge from talking with others on their
way to or from work even miles from
the place of employment, as the Cin
cinnati court declares and summarily
dealt with as criminal offenders if they
disregard the order.
"That is carrying 'government by
injunction' to an extreme beyond that
which agitators complained of so loud
ly in tne Debs affair, and beyond what
the United 8tates Supreme Court sanc
tioned in that case. The legitimate pur
pose of an injunction, as the Court then
held, is to stay waste and prevent an
irreparable injury to property. When
such injury is threatened by strikers
they may be enjoined from specific
acts having an injurious effect But
to enjoin men from resorting to moral
suasion would seem to be an abuse of
the injunction power as unwarranted
.. by law as by common sense, and an
infringement of the constitutional
right of free speech. Opinions may
differ as to the expediency or fairness
of "picketing." but it can hardly be
- considered criminal or unlawful when
kept within reasonable limits.
The authority to grant an injunc
tion is one of the most extraordinary
powers known to the law. It is issued
at the discretion of a single judge and
often, in the first instance, on an ex
parte motion that is, the application
of one side. Its violation may be sum
marily punished by the same judge by
- imprisonment of the offender without
- jury or tnai. nu, tnereiore, a reme
dy to be applied with unusual care and
: judgment. It cannot be legitimately
used in labor or. other disputes as a
weapon on either side except within
the strict bounds of the law, and the
- proper functions of an injunction to
go beyond these bounds,: as appears to
have - been done in the Connecticut
and sanctioned in the Cincinnati case,
is to give occasion for the demagogic
cry of "Government by injunction!"
and even ground for criticism by sober
minds."
.- This is an era of injunctions, and
while we have no means of getting at
the number of injunctions issued by
judges we think it would be safe to
'assert that more injunctions of this
' nature have been granted within the
, past ten years than were granted in
half a century before, until now they
;- are of such a sweeping character that
" they amaze people who a few years
' ago looked upon "government byin-
junction'? with indifference, if not
with absolute approval. Many re
garded these restricting mandates as
preventers of 'trouble and conserva-
tors of the peace when trouble and
violence : were r pending. Possibly
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
It seems that at last the fact that
there may be some value in our
swamp lands is beginning to be
recognized and that efforts are to be
made to get something out of them
for the State. Remarking on this
the Raleigh News and Observer
says:
The Present administration is being
commended for the manner in which
it is trying to save to the State the
swamp lands belonging to the State
Board of Education. For a long time
the best of these lands have been given
away to speculators at nominal prices
and lumber men have gone upon them
without asking the leave of anybody
and cut off and carried away the tim
ber. Governor Aycock and the mem
bers of his council have determined to
put a stop to this and it is believed
! that the State will now make some
thing out of these lands.
The State at one time had a very
large area of timbered swamp lands.
How much there is left we do not
know, for large tracts have been
sold, or more properly speaking
thrown away, at figures ranging from
121 cents to 50 cents an acre. Pos
sibly some choice and desirably loca
ted tracts may have sold for more,
but if so they were extraordinarily
well timbered and near, enough for
tran8portaion to . make working
profitable. But even the highest
prices paid were, compared with the
value of the property sold, merely
nominal, and put very little money
into the State Treasury.
There is much of this land that
is susceptible of drainage, and if
drained would make fertile farms,
one acre of which would be worth a
hundred acres at the price those
lands usually sold. Some of the
penitentiary convicts could not be
better employed than in clearing up
and ditching and draining some of
these lands. But whether this b
done or not, it is folly to be selling
them at nominal prices such as they
have heretofore sold at, for they
will never be less valuable, and in
time to come when new railroads
will be built near these lands, they
will be much more valuable than
they now are. They are a good
thing to hold even if nothing else
be done with them.
The Japanese match makers are
making a scoop in China because
the economical Chinaman prefers a
little match, even at the risk of
burning his fingers, to a big one,
which wastes so much wood. The
Japs have caught onto this, furnish
that kind of matches, and have
yanked the trade away from the
European match makers.

Fayetteville Observer: Sunday
morning between 3 and 4 o.clock Hen
derson Hodges, colored, who lives
just over Harrington Hill, woke up
and saw a man standing over him
with a knife in his hand. He sprang
at the burglar, but the latter was too
quick for him, and leaped out of the
same- window he had entered by.
Hodges says he recognized the man,
and the officers . have a . warrent for
his arrest, which, it is " expected, will
be made shortly. This . i a capital
crime, and the punishment in North
Carolina is death. Three negro

the intention of taking some jewelry,

AFFAIR8 OF THE APIARY.
Thin Well Worth . KnowUf,
Bleaching: Yellow Sections.
There Is a new device for inducing
bees on the wing to cluster. It Is eas
ily made and can be put In practice by
any one. Take a board about a foot
square and put a hole lu the center
large enough to receive the end of a
pole. Then put a half dozen holes in
the board large enough to receive as
many corncobs. With your pole in the
center you can take the device and go
with It where the boos are flying thick
est, and they will cluster on the board.
Then you can carry them to their hive
and shake thorn off before it or into it,
and the work Is done.
Those who have black bees and are
troubled with worms should at once'
change them for Italians. Worms have
no show with strong Italian colonies.
They are wormproof and should for
this property have the preference.
Let every leekeepor attend to put
ting on empty sections and removing
full ones during this month (July).
Give plenty of room to the bees, that
they may not cluster on the outside of
the hive and practically do nothing.
This la easily prevented by making
room in the hive for surplus honey.
The sarao thing can be accomplished
by a Judicious use of the extractor.
This empties the full combs and gives
tne bees room for replenishing with
additional honey.
Bees did uot do as well this past sea
son in cellars as they did on their sum
mer stands. This is exceptional, for
a good, dry cellar easily regulated as to
temperature is generally the best wiii
ter protection that can be had. There
are some excellent beekeepers, how
ever, who prefer wintering on the sum
mer stands, with large hives and strong
colonies.
Put yellow stained sections in a win
dow or where the sun can shine on
them, and they will soon be bleached
white, so that they will readily sell for
first class honey This Is worth know
ing, as It enhances the price of the
honey. It may be worth hundreds of
dollars to some beekeepers.
A good way to stop robbing in mild
cases is to throw a handful of grass
before the hive. For a more severe
case saturate the grass with water.
For a very bad case saturate the grass
with kerosene olL But "an ounce of
prevention Is worth a pound of cure."
Be careful not to drop any honey
around the hives, as this will induce
the bees to begin depredations on oth
er hives. Farm Journal.'

.THE BELGIAN HARE, i '"
How a Crase In the Sontbwest.
Raised In Preference to Chickens.
In southern California, where the
hare fad has become a craze ins per-
vasive as the famous Dutch tiillp ma
nia, all sorts of fancy j? rites aie being
paid for choice strains of imported Bel
gian hares, says the New York illerald.
In which appears the following:
Many men and women, too, In the
southwest are breeding Belgian hares
for market. As a food product, fetch
ing' 8 cents a pound, there is great
profit In raising hares. . The flesh of the
Imported Belgian hares Is Arm, white
and nearly as tender as frogs legs or
chicken. The original Belgian hares
were much coarser in fiber and the
meat was reddish. After the Flemish
hares were crossed with the red rabbits
of England an excellent edible was
promptly thrown on the British market.
Hares are now the . poor man's turkey
and beefsteak, too, and "jugged" hare
Is as common on the other side as
baked beans In New England.
The pelts of the Belgian hares are
useful for a variety of purposes, par
ticularly for hats. . Careful attention to
their coats has led to the production' of
fine, fleecy pelts, and an additional
source of revenue for the breeders has
been secured.
These Imported Belgian hares are ex
tremely prolific. Commonly 11 litters
of young, of two to a dozen each, are
born each year to a doe. A, pair of
hares will live for six or eight vears.
They are hardy and thrive well in al
most any part of this country. They
are easily reared. Their provender is
plentiful and Inexpensive, consisting
chiefly of white oats, lettuce, carrots
and green food generally. They are
very cleanly In their habits and subject
to few ailments.
In the west many families raise Bel
gian hares In preference to chickens.
These hares do not burrow, so no deep
set fences are needed. They are re
markably tame and will eat from the
hand of a stranger readily. In conse
quence they have become great pets
with children. . A pair may he Iwugbt
as low as 50 cents and a child of 10
can raise them from infancy. They
are as alert and playful as the tradi
tional wild hare of England, but are
not suitable for coursing or hunting.
Though much larger and heavier
than the ordinary hare and with lon
ger legs, they do not scamper with the
seat of the wild species. They are fast
sprinters, however, as their only do-,
fense is their speed, but they do not
burrow or double, as the wild ones do,
through their subterranean galleries.
The largest animal dealer In this
City says: "These hares breed so rapidly
and cost so little to raise that some of
those first in the field must be making
money.
"The Belgian hare meat is a cross
between venison and mutton. In Ger
many hares have been an article of
food for-n long tlrtae. They cook, then
with port or sherry, and the dish ts fit
to set before a king.
"Many people think hares and rab
bits are one and the same thing. These
Belgian hares are big fellows, weigh
ing seven or eight pounds. Those who
have eaten rabbit stow do not know
how much bettor Belgian bare Is."

THE COM CROP.
Corn is one of the great staple
food crops of this country. It might
be called the staple crop, because the
meat crop depends very largely upon
it, and it constitutes a large part of
the feed of the farm animals that
help to make the other crops. A
total or serious failure of the corn
crop would mean much more than
a total or serious failure of the wheat
crop, because if there were an abun
dance of corn it would be used as a
substitute for wheat, while wheat
on account of its higher price could

In tbe Garden.
While the farmer has been bnay with
his haying and harvesting the garden
has probably !oen more or less neglect
ed. Weeds grow very fast during July
and August, as the warmth Induces the
rapid decomposition of vegetable mat
ter and Its conversion Into the most
stimulating fertilizer, ammonia. The
early garden has had Jtsday, and the
land after early peas and potatoes will
need to plowed, if only to keep it
from - overgrown with woods.
Early In ".'.iigiist Is not too late to set
. celery, which is all the better for mak
ing a quick growth. The early celery
set a month or more ago should have
earth drawn around It, taking care not
to let the soil get between the growing
stalks, as It will cause rust, advises an
exchange.

that she could not turn1 over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do ber own work."

COTTON MARKETS.

New York, July 23. A. sensational
break in July was the feature of the
local cotton market to-day and
dragged the latter months downward.
August was next weakest. The net
decline in July was thirtv-seven
points, 10 .ao. xne opening was
barely steady, with prices three points
lower to one point higher and was
leverisn ail day, with rallies few and
far between. Smaller operators with
drew irom the market wherever pos
sible and refused to take a fresh hold
until the July deal was settled for once
and all and until reports from the crop
centre became more harmonious. aThe
early cables were favorable and reports
irom spot markets were steady. Later,
cables reflected an easier feelinc abroad
and orders from the South went almost
exclusively to the bear side. Bv mid
day .the decline was a matter of five to
six points on the speculative months
Then came a bullish government re
port stating that the plant was small
all over the entire belt and fruiting
at tne top over we central and western
section. This caused a rally of several
points. All of it was lost under room
