The Clay county striking miners aro using vigorous measures to enforce their demands. They are well organized and disposed to make trouble at various points. Every train loaded with coal passing throtmh or from the county has l.een stopp® I. The coal from several trains has been unloaded and pulverized. Saturday strikers stopped a north-bouni freight train on tho Chicago & Indiana coal railway and wanted to be hauled free to Stone Bluff, where some miners wero said to boat work. The trainmen refused to haul them, and the train was Leld'from 8 a. m. to 5 p. in., when it was brought back to Hraiil. Monday morning as the nc.r Ji-botiud local fieght on tl.o C. Sr. I.

POPULIST CONVENTION.

The People's Party Platform and

Ticket.

Leroy Templetou the Permanent Chair, man—Mrs. Gougar Speaks.

The Populists of Indiana met in delegate convention at Tomlinson Hall. Indianapolis. Thursday, May 24. Tho attendance was not as large as had been predicted. A full attendance would have given 2.!if2 delegates, but several counties were not represented. The personnel of the body was almost exclusively agricultural. At 10 o'clock Joshua Strange, chairman of the State Central Committee, came upon the stage and called for the various committees to cime upon the platform. Rev. Wadswt.rih opened the mcetir.i with prayer, the delegates standing en raas»- Mr. Wadsworth said: "We ap' "il tins morning to the God of A bra ha c. Jacob, the God of Moses and of J- V!H GUI of Washington and tin -.od ic.)ln to lift up the oppressed and to SL.'eor the needy." He hoped that "God would put it into the hearts of. *'ie ters of Ii diana to place good, honest, '-n in otllce. Give us Godhonoriiitr 'nci l-l-.ving men. When the wicked ruto the righteous mourn. Alniiplity God save us from anarchy, blood and /edition/' [Cries of "Amen! Amen! God grant it! Amen."]

Mr. Strange addressed the convention brielly i-ncl was warmly applauded. Alvin Iieinies, chairman of the committee on pi-nraiHjnt. organization. reported Leroy Teiupleton for permanent chair-

T.EKOY TEMPLET02J.

man and Andrew Johnston for scrctary. The report was adopted. Mr Templeton, or. ben introduced, said:

I have been called here today to make von speech: now 1 am not going to make you a speech am simply going to give you a little talk, tor I realize that you are men of business and want to get home. JSuw then I will siv. not tliat I want to make a speech, thai we are here to lorin & government that will protect the weak, and not only protect the weak, but keep down thesfrong. Ve are in need of such a government., and if we do not get it, we will toon go back to the government of the strengi. ruled by iTIUe force. Now, then, I realize when I look around that we have the suong in our midst. You know, and I know, that we have had such laws in the last years to protect the strong and to keep down the weak. Wo have got s-uch laws to lay thai trample upon and keep do« the weak. I crave your coopeiaion. and realize that we shall get along pliaantly with the business, and put a good ticket in the Held. It has been hinted and said over this land that we I'opuibts and laboring men are going on to the direction of anarchy. That is not true, we simply want to have the right prevail. We are going to have it prevail, and that without "tramping on the grass,"

The report of the committee on credentials was read by delegate C'arv, chairman of the committee. It showed tho total number of accredited delegates to the convention to be necessary to a choice, 1,477. Delegates present were entitled to vote also for those absent. The report was adopted unanimously.

A controversy arose over the order of business, and Mrs. Gou ar, being present, was called upon for a speech. She spoke brielly. Among other things she said:

God Aim it?lily never put more people on earth or in any one ^pot than lie could take care of. We have allowed vicious politicians to pack our conventions, and we are marching to the Capitol under an independent banner, and we are getting away from the old arty whip, determined to make the statutes of God lhe statutes of man. We will worship the golden rule instead of the golden calf. Concerning the silver problem, she spoke of "John Cleveland and Grover Sherman." She said: "I am not in favor of marching to W ashington, but let us march to tho l-a:lnt box and meet organized vvong with organized right."

The platform committee not being ready to report the convention adjourned until 1:30 in. On reassembling in the afternoon the hall was well filled with delegates and spectators. The platform was then submitted as follows:

Tin FLATFOKM.

Another political contest is at hand freighted with consequences of woal or woe to our people to be determined at the ballot-box next November. We meet under conditions that should immediately cause every thoughtful citizen to think deeply and silently commune with himSell on the present conditions of business stagnation, actual distress and poverty attending many hundred thousands of our producing and laboring people, the result of legislation in favor of specially favored classes by the Republican party the past thirty-two years, reinforced by its ally— the so-called Democratic party—under Grover Cleveland.

Posing as parties of the people—both of them having, since the elections of '92, repudiated their platforms containing their ¥Olenin promises upon which they sent thHr President into the White House and obtained "their seats" in the National^ Legislature, and have, since the meeting* of this Congress, ignored t^he requests and petitions of the people for remedial legislation, as no more than the idie vaporings of so many slaves, and have proceeded jointly with "their votes" and the act of "their President" to fasten upon tlje American people tho single gold standard of foreign monarchies.

We ask ail patriotic, honest citizens to assist in destroying the Demo-Republican partv at the polls in '94 and '96. as they aro no loiig worthy of confidence or support we meet in.the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, politcal and material ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot Oox. the Legislatures, the Congress, and touches even the ermine on the bench and corrupts the church. Imported pauperized labor beats down the wages of labor, and our working people are rapidly degenerating into European conditions. Tho fruits of the toil of millions are bodily stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, and the possessorsof these in turn despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice we breed the two great classes—tramps and millionaires.

Silver, which has been accepted as coin since the dawn of history, has been demonetized to add to tlhe purchasing power ,jof gold by decreaadK ^he value of all

and the supply of currency is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enterprise itnd to enslave industry, A vast conspiracy against the sovereignty of the American peopl3 over theirdomestic financial policy has already taken possession of the American Congress. If not met and overthrown at once it forbodes terrible so-cial-convulsions, the destruction of civilization. or the establishment of an absolute despotism. We have witnessed for more than a quarter of a century* the struggles of the two great political parties for power and plunder, while grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon thesufferinc people. We charge that the controlling influences dominating both these old parties have permitted the existing dreeadful conditions to develop, without serious effort to prevent or restrain them.

The smaller manufacturers are rapidly being crushed out by the great syndicates and aggregations of capital, while the common laborer has become but a mere automatic attachment to a machine. Where once a dozen intelligent mechanics were employed we now linn one speechless machine managed by a foreign outcast or a child deprived of education. The capitalist rolls up his untold thousands and millions by reason of this condition of affairs. while the daily press tells the sad tale of the starvation and suicide of the poor and unemployed. We have tariff laws to protect the man who owns the machine, but no laws to protect the mechanic who formerly did the same work from convict labor and foreign competition. "When the operative resists a reduction of his wages, the owner of the machine and the mines, presses aa electric button and orders his agent to send on a load of Italian or Hungarian paupers. The two old parties are alike guilty and responsible for this condition of affairs.

If we turn from manufacturing to other branches of human effort we lind the same fearful condition. Farming is to-day a prostrate and ruined industry, but it is not the proposed changes by the old parties in duties of the shifting of schedules that will produce more money and financial relief to our people.

Wo pledge oar party that if given power we will labor to correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation in accordance with the terms of our platform.

Invoking tho mercy and blessing of God upon our suffering and distressed people, we commend to the thoughtful consideration of our fellow-citizens our declaration of principles and platform, inviting thesuppporc of every voter who favors the return of prosperity and happiness in place of the present and prospective conditions of panic and poverty, while the government of our beloved country remains under control of the old, corrupt parUes that have outlived their usefulness.

We demand a national currency of $50 per capita, including the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 46 to 1. issued by the general government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, distributed to the people direct, without the intervention of banking corporations, in payment of all obligations of "the Government, and demand the issue ot non-interest-bearing treasury notes of small denominations.

We declare our unalterable opposition, a? ft prty, to banks of issue, State or national. \"d also denounce the past and continued use of the Government Hat by Congress to create interest-bearing bonds.

We charge that the crime of demonetizing silver in '73, by the Republican party, further consummated by the joint action of both the old parties at the extra session of Congress in '95, has fully accomplished the, purpose of the, moneyed aristocracy of the United States and England, in placing the American producers of our great staple crops on a level with tho poorest paid pauper labor of the world under English control, by changing through this crime against American producers and laborers the pricing instrument for all products and wages to the single standard of gold only.

We demand a national graduated income tax on salaries or incomes in excess of reasonable expenditures for the comforts and necessities of life.

We pledge the. People's party, when given control of the Government, that the gunholders, who put up life to save the Union from secession, shail be equalized with the bondholders, who speculated in human life and tho blood of our people, and their pensions shall bo treated as a vested right.

We favor the election of United States Senators and all postmasters by direct vote of the people.

We believe the people arc yet capable of self government and demand of the next legislature the repeal of the metropolitan police law. W'e also denounce the present unfair and unjust law that forbids minorities representation on election boards or witnesses to count of ballots, as a violation of the natural rights of the people: the entering wedge of the destruction of free government the very essence of party tyranny and taxation without representation! Laws that no honest man can defend.

We demand a constitutional convention to revise our State constitution and include therein reform in the methods of taxation and the initiative and referendum system of legislation, with the veto power'of all the Important laws in the hands of the people.

We demand such equitable adjustment of the statute for the, listing of property for taxation that will permit the deduction of all bona-lide indebtedness from sum total listed.

We demand a reasonable homestead law that no process of any court can touch. W'e demand a law taxing all inheritances coming to citizens of Indiana, both direct and collateral, at 5 per cent, ab.n S2.000, for the benefit of the State sinking fund.

Wrp demand the most liberal educational facilities for the masses within the power of the State to provide, and a more efficient administration of tho public school fund.

We demand that convict labor shall be taken, as far as possible, away from competition with honest free labor in conduct of the Stato prisons, recommending that, counties work their convicts building and improving country roads.

We demand a law at the hands of tho next Legis'atnre that will make it optional with debtors in this State to pay any legal obligation in gold, silver or other lawful money of tho United States.

Wre demand that our State naturalization laws conform to our national laws upon the subject.

We view with alarm the evil influences of the liquor traffic. We heartily indorse the initiative and referendum system of legislation.

The right to vote is inherent in citizenship, irrespective of sex. We demand an effective enforcement of the laws prohibiting the employment of child labor.

We demand that a system of arbitration be established. We favor the reduction of tho working hours by law in mines and factories.

We demand that cities bo speedily erapowered to assume ownership and control of public water, transportation and lighting plants.in such manner as to operate wholly in the interest of the people, without imposing burdensome taxation.

We are against the giving out, of public works under contract to the lowest bidder. The State and tho communities should carry out such work tl em selves under the supervision of experienced officers.

We favor an efficient, employers' liability law and the Inspection of mines and factories for the protection of life and limb of the workingmen.

There was quite a debate over the adoption of the name to head the ticket. A motion was made to call it the "People's Ticket" and an amendment was offered to insert the word "Party". Debate was finally shut off by Mr, Patterson calling attention to the fact that the amendment was necessary to make the ticket legally the same as the National ticket. The whole thing was finally referred to the State central committee. The plow and' hammer-was adopted as the emblem. Tho convention, at 6 o'clock, adjourned sine die,

End of a Bitter FigUt in the Tenth District.

The bitter contest between Charles B. Landis. of Delphi, and Judge Johnston, of Valparaiso, for the Republican congressional nomination in the Tenth district, culminated in the nomination of Landis at tho convention at Hammond, Thursday. Outside of Lake county Landis had a majority and had a majority on the committee'on credentials. This majority reported in favor of seating fifteen Landis and fifteen Johnston delegates from Lake county. After almost three hours of de--bate the report was adopted by a small inajoritjr. The thirty Johnston delegates from Lake then withdrew and fifteen of their places wero promptly filled by Landis delegates. Porter and Jasper counties each followed the lead of Lake and withdrew from the convention. It was then dark, it having taken four hours for the committee to prepare their report, and three more to secure its adoption, and an adjournment became necessary and was taken until 9:30. At that, hour the convention was called in the Opera House. The Johnston forces did' not answer to the call. Folton county, all' but one from Jasper, four from Cass and six from Newton and four from Pulaski and all of Lake and Porter, together with fifteen from Lake, wore absent. Upon a call for nominations, C. IJ. Landis, M. L. Essick and Judges Gould and Hammond were placed iu nomination, but the iaaies of Gould and Hammond were withdrawn. A ballot resulted in 103 votes (all present) for Landis. This being a majority of the full number of delegates, Landis was declared tho nominee, and then one of tho bitterest tights ever witnessed in Lake county or the Tenth District ended.

Liiternry Note From the Century Co. Edward Muybridge, in the course of his lectures on ''Animal Locomotion" before the learned societies of Europe, felt the need of some improved method of throwing his remarkable pictures on a screen. After patient experiment he perfected the Zoopraxinosoope, which was based upon the little toy known asj the Zoetrope. This served his pur-J pose in giving a rapid succession of! pictures so as to simulate motion,although it was crude. It was this| that inspired Edison in the invention of the kineto-phonograph or kinetoscope. The first authoritative account of the invention will appear1 in the June number of The Century, written by Antonia and W. K. L. Dickson, the latter being Mr. Edi-, son's laboratory assistant. Mr. Edison writes an introduction to the article, expressing his belief that in the coming years when the kineto phonograph shall have been perfected, it will be possible to give grand opera without any material change from the original, and with artists and musicians long since dead. The Dicksons go still farther than this. "No scene, however animated and exclusive, but will eventually be within reproductive power. Martial evolutions, naval exercises, processions, and countless kindred exhibitions will be recorded for the leisurely gratification of those who are debarred from attendence, or who desire to recall them." In deed, the mind scarcely dares to speculate as to what may be done with such an appliance.
