THE COURTS ASSAILED.
The courts of the United States are as
sailed. They talk about government by in
junction as if ii were some new writ that
the courts had devised. 1t is old and
fa miliar writ, as old as the courts of cham
Gerry. exercised by the national and by the
State courts. familiarly. constantly, TO re-
strain the commission Of acts that tend to
irreparable injury to others, or if not re-
strained would result in multiplicity Of
suits. L mentioned the other day a familiar
instance of it in own city. The straw
board works poured the defilement of their
works into the river and poisoned the drink-
ing water of the city of Indianapolis and
lined the banks Of the stream with the

courts extended. The Judge of the United

judges in order to prevent Andrew john

Johnson was believed by a majority of the
House and by nearly two-thirds of the
Senate to have himself been guilty Of inn
peachable crimes. FOR which he was after

BRYAN AND ALTGEID.
Mr. Bryan may say he is as good pa
triot as Gen. Lew Wallace. He may say
that he has never said that he would not
enforce the laws of the United States. He
does not meet this question until he says:
IF the mail trains are obstructed I will
open way for them without asking Gov
ernor Altgeld to consent" (Applause.) He
does not meet this question until he has
said: IF interstate commerce is interrupts
ed will restore the free transit of it, He
does not meet this question until he has
said: IF United States marshal Is inn
aim the strength to execute them. My

Cover nor Aitgeld in his speech in New
York stated that the United States mar
shall of the Southern District of Illionis
1ad called upon him as Governor TO help
execute the wrts of the court. and he COM
plains that the marshal of the Northern

his duty, did not call upon the Governor,
out called upon the President-as he ought
% have done.
And now, to what a feast are you in
