MOBBED BY POPULISTs.
Republicans Had to Speak Holding
Their RevOIvers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Oct. 24.-Kappa, q. village
in the extreme western end of this county,
was the scene of a disgraceful riot last
night. Mayor Kirkpatrick and John Z.
Moore, of this city, were billed to address
a Republican meeting there. They were met
by a crowd three times larger than could
get into the ~schoolhouse, mostly Populists.
from Howard. Cass and Carroll counties,
who had entered into a conspiracy to break
up the meeting. ]. wv. Swan, a Populist
speaker of some nctoriety in this congress
sional district, asked the Republicans to
divide the time with him. This was con-
sented 10 and Swan spoke one and one
quarter hours. When Mayor Kirkpatrick
arose to speak for the Republicans bedlam
broke loose. The crowd yelled, hooted, shot
on revolvers in. the house, and several at
tempts were made @ reach the speakers
of Put him out Make him fight" Drag
him out" Mr.. Kirkpatrick, with a revolver
in his outside pocket, spoke al hour and
defed the bowling mob to do its worst. Mr..
Moon followed with a few words and was
howled down by the hoodlums. Threats
were made to mob the speakers at the
close OF the meeting. but the latter, with
drawn revolvers. made their way through
the angry crowd and left the place in
safety.
The disgraceful affair caused the most
intense excitement in the vicinity and will
lose the Populists many votes. Warrants
are being issued for the arrest of the riot
ers. and twenty or more will be made to
answer.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Oct. 24.-The polit-
ical situation in this county grows more
interesting as the day of the election ap-
proaches. Both sides seem to be equally
confident and expect to achieve a great vic
tory. But a careful review Of the situa-
ton cannot fail to reveal the fact that the
Republicans are growing stronger. The
Republican organization is perfect in every
precinct in the county. The assertions from
the Democratic ranks are numerous and are
causing considerable uneasiness among the
managers of that party. Their meetings are
but poorly attended and their best speakers
fail TO arouse any enthusiasm among the
rank and file. TIL present low prices Of
farm products and the destruction of the
hay market has made many converts who
are outspoken in their ondemnatio of the
free-trade policy. Cleveland carried this
county in 1892 by S26, but the situation has
been completely changed since then. Lead
ing Democrats who are on the inside de-
clare they do not expect half that many.
Many Democrats are deliberately moving
from one precinct to another in order to
keep from voting, and their loss for that
reason will be enormous.

THE A. r. 7.
DEMURRER TO A DEBS STRIKE IN
JUNCTION OvERRULED.
Strong Decision of Judge Phillips, of
the Federal COurt-New Switch
mems Union Organized.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24.-Judge Phillips to-
day overruled the demurrer in the famous
strike injunction suit of the United States
against NJ. j.. Elliot and over one hundred
members of the A. r. u. The govern
ment filed a bill asking for an order
to restrain the defendants from ~interfer-
ing with the mail or interstate commerce.
A temporary order was granted and the de-
PENDANTS filed a demurrer alleging want
of jurisdiction.
Judge Phillips said that the principal
question raised by the demurrer goes to
the jurisdiction of the court. The right
of the United States to bring such a bill
in equity is challenged on the ground that
the trust law" is not applicable to such a
state of affairs as prevailed when the in
junction was issued, a great strike being
in progress over a large portion of the
country. Judge Phillips said that the reg
ulation of m Is confined exclusively
to Congress. And SO, ultimately, in 1890, the
interstate-commerce law was enacted. BY
this law every compact or combination in
restraint of commerce between the States
is declared Illegal. 1t is true that the great
object of this law was the suppression of
trusts, but, like most acts, It reaches a
minds of its trainers. SO that any men,
whoever they may be, who prevent the
Tree movement or between the
States, are within the express letter OF the
statute. Whoever restraints
comes under this law And il was certainly
competent for Congress to provide how to
punish such parties; and Congress has,
therefore, invested the several courts Of the
United States with power to restrain vio-
lations of the act. 1t is the duty of the
district attorney to institute proceedings
for this purpose, and it is expressly pro-
vided that he may do il in a court of
equity. and the court may make such re-
straining order as the case may require.
But the counsel for the defendants objects
that courts of equity cannot be invoked to
restrain parties from the commission of
crime. Where parties threaten to destroy
property 1t is competent for courts of equity
to restrain the threatened acts. especially
where incendiarism and riot are the prob
able results. And there is a practical rea-
son for invoking the aid of a restraining
order. Most OF the persons who do this are
professional agitators;' they are ire
~sponsible, and there is no way of holding
them accountable pecuniarily for the result
of their acts. This is surely a case that ap-
peals to the strong arm of the court TO
interpose and prevent these threatened acts
of anarchy and riot.
If the defendants take no further action
by tomorrow morning the injunction will
be made final.

How Upton County Was Robbed.

WINDFALL, Ind, Oct. 24-The Repub-
licans had a rousing meeting at this place
last night. Walter w. Mount, of Upton,
made one of the most forcible speeches that
has been made here during the present cam
paign. His talk was principally devoted
to county affairs. His statements taken
from the records Of the county showed that
the valuation Of personal property in this
county during the Harrison administration
increased yearly to a total amount Of over
$4,000, but that during the two years of
Cleveland's administration the value of per-
sonal property has fallen off more than
$4,000. He ventilated the fact that the
County Commissioners knew at the time of
]. X. Armstrong; first term as treasurer
that he was a defaulter to the amount of
$4,000. but that they falsely certified that
his accounts were straight. The furniture
deal for the new courthouse was fully ex-
posed. Three bids were made to the COM
missioners TO furnish the furniture accord
ing to the specifications made by the archi-
tect. One bid was over 5000 another ST.
coo and another a little over 5000, but the
highest bid was accepted instead of the
lowest. making a loss to the county of
about g 1000.
