GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
Judge Maguire's speech Before the
Bimetallic Club.

ALAMEDA, CAL. Aug. 80 Judge Ma
guire was earnest and forceful last even
ing at fuckers Hall in his address before
the Alameda Bime talIic Club on Govern
ment by Injunction.
The hall was we'll filed, responsive and
enthusiastic. The Congressman quoted
from the edicts OF Judge Jenkins and
other Federal Judges and showed conclu-
siyely that these Judges, at the instance
of monopoly, had gone out of the law
interpreting business and gone into the
lawmaklng business.
Had Congress itself, alone possessing
the law aking power, and elected by the
people, passed such laws as did these
Judges in the injunction cases, such laws
would have been clearly in violation of
the first and thirteenth amendments of
the constitution of the United States
which declare:
l. Congress shall make no law abri dg-
ing freedom of speech or of the press"
13 Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly
cow cted, shall exist within the United
States"
He denounced the usurpation OF au-
thority by the Federal Judges appointed
mot elected) for life as palpable and
willful usurpation of power, in violation
OF the acknowledged constitutional rights
or the people, and as The worst sort of
trea~ on by the very officers who are sworn
10 uphold the constitution. He declared
that there would be no remedy from this
abuse oi power by the Federal judiciary
until the people took a hand in rebukiDg
1t. He called attention to Thomas Jeffer-
sons famous declaration, 100 years ago.
that a judiciary appointed for life, with
power TO annul and declare void acts of
CONGRESS, passed by the elected represen-
tatives of the people, would ultimately
destroy representative government. He
said the people should meet such abuses
OF power now while they may, by seeing
that every representative who seeks cleo.
ton at their hands stands upon the broad
principle that he will put into effect the
i'm parchment clause of the constitution.
The Judge disclaimed speaking from
any party andpoint, he spoke as an
American and said by whom SOC yer these
OF the people were committed he de-
nounced il rs reasonable. The cause of
the West Virginia miners was the cause
of the whole people. What is their cause
to-day may be ours tomorrow.
