VOLUME 48. “OOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION Judge Jackson, of West Virginia, Is strangely mis: taken if he believes that the popular feeling on the sub-| fect of “government by injunction” can be dispelled by the intemperate utterances with which he accompanied the heavy sentences inflicted on certain workingmen whom he held guilty of contempt of court in haying vio- lated a sweeping injunction previously issued by him Indeed, instead of allaying the opposition to these In- farther excite and inflame it. Pupishment for contempt of court is an exercise of arbitrary power. If contempt} of court is @ crime it is a crime which should be pun Ishable only after a fair trial before an impartial judge and jury. Above all it is to be regretted that a federal judge should have used intemperate and abusive language in describing representatives of labor who were not before the court. It would be a sad condition of affairs jf the ‘working people should be led to believe that the courts to which they look for justice and protection are preju- diced against them. The Laugh Is On Us.—It bas taken New York twenty years to discover that a tunnel under the Hast River whioh will do half the work of a bridge can be bullt fo | one-eighth of the cost. THE THREE-CENT FARE. One of the most valuable of the suggestions evolved by the discussion of the tunnel bids yesterday was the ‘Buggestion made by Mayor Low of an ultimate three- cent fare in New York. Now that it has been mentioned | + it is well to repeat it and to bear it in mind. It means much to the people of New York. The dif- “ference between a five-cent fare and a three-cent fare on @ million of passengers a day means a difference of over $7,000,000 a year left in the pockets of the people, where it belongs, instead of going for dividends on watered traction stock. It can do no harm to agitate the question, From the weakness and docility with which the people of New York have accepted the five-cent fare one might sup- pose that there was something sacred about it or that a lower fare was impracticable, whereas the five-cent fare fe an absurdity. While it is true that the five-cent fare is cheap for a long ride, people use the surface cars chiefly for short rides for which three cents or even two + would be ample compensation. ‘We are bound to have the three-cent fare “ultimate- Jy,” and we ehould not be kept waiting too long for the ultimate to come. Law and Law.—One of the things which no fellow can find out is hy the law is so quick In punishing strike agita- tion and so slow in punishing trust promoting. EIOHT DOLLARS A TON. The answer of the Coal Trust to the people is prompt and emphatic. It comes in the shape of another turn of the screw, Those who paid $7.50 yesterday will pay $8 for a ton of coal to-day, and may feel lucky that they can get it. Just as a reminder as to who Is running the business the purchaser who needs ten tons will be al- Jowed to buy five; if he needs a ton he will get half a ton; if he kicks he will not get any. The purchase of coal is not the unalienable right of the American citizen; it 4s a favor generously bestowed on him by the coal baron. What are you going to do about it? President Baer, whore sense of humor is defective, suggests that if the people are charged too much they should refuse to pay It, He doves not offer any plan by which coal can be bought without paying for it. Really, the struggle of the people against the Trusts and especially against the Coal Trust appears to be hopeless. The reason is that the trusts act directly while the people act only through the agency of their officials and representatives, and it is sometimes hard to tell whether the officials represent the people or the trusts. AUTOMOBILE ELOPEMENTS. The automobile appears in the news this morning as an alder and abettor of elopements. One in Baltimore Thursday night whisked a runaway couple out of dan- ger of pursuit and tarried in the dark of the moon till a preacher could be summoned. When the reverend gen- tleman reached the scene he straightway mounted the box and said the unifying words as quickly and with tew questions asked as a Gretna Green blacksmith.

It looks impossible, yet it is real through the eye of a needle, The fir: thing necessary is a needle with a long eye lke that in an ordinary darning needle, and through this must be put al thread about six feet long This thread is then to oe drawn through the needle into two equal lengths, and next, at a distance of about a yard from the eye, the two threads are te be carefully uniwisted and ine ne is to be passed through the two | which are formed in this way. As a result of this preliminary operation the thread has been drawn througn two in visible ears and everything is ready for the performance of the trick itself. If you are entertaining a company you may now seat yourself at a table and safely promise that without looking your hands you will put from eight to ten new threads through the eye pf the needle. All you have to do is to hold the needle upright with your right hand and then grasp one of the threads at a point between the ¢ye and the small loops and draw !t in such a manner tat these loops will pass through the eve, for in doing so they will naturally carry with them the threads which have been now three threads through the needle, and the operation here described can be continued with them.
