Major C. II. Coan, Malcontent.

The political rawlings of Major Coan,
the newly made convert to the populists,
are rendered all the more meaningless
when one considers that the doughty
major. while republican, pursued the
ways Of chronic office seeker with a
diligence which if directed in the
proper chanel would have made him a
respectable lawyer by this time.
But he has decided and ill con
cealed taste for office, and like Others
who have gone before HIM, if he can't
get 1t in one party he will try it in
another
Chameleon-like it is no trouble for
him to change his colors.
Here is brief resume of his office
seeking efforts for a period covering
about one year-reaching out for these
several offices through the republican
party. mind you, because that is the
party in power in Pueblo county to-day.
The doughty major was not particular
about what office he should get so long
as it was an office.
He wanted to be assistant prosecut-
ing attorney for this district but B. d.
v. Reeve secured the prize. No. 1.
Last fall he made a grab for the
office now held down by Justice Brad
ford and was set back. No. 9.
Not discouraged by these reverses he
tried for the county attorneyship but
WAS knockrd out by George Salisbury.
and this probably accounts for his
hostile demonstrations against the
board of county commissioners, the
appointing power of the county at
torney. No 8.
Then he wanted to be city attorney
but his lucky star was not yet in its
zenith and he got left again. No. 4.
His latest attempt was to reach out
after the office of police magistrate of
Pueblo but once more he failed to be
This last defeat seemed to prey on
the majors loyal republicanism like
zrasshOpper plague on patch of
Kansas alfalfa, and feeling sore, with
none to comfort him he deserted the
ranks and went into the populists camp.
and II he doesn't change his politics
too soon he will be after an office from
them.
my Kingdom for an office!"
1t is not out Of the way to mention
here that last May when the g. A. r.
department of Colorado and Wyomi ng
held their grand re-union in Pueblo the
major popped up again for senior COM
mander and did not receive vote
even Upton post, the local camp re-
fusing to recognize HIM, and the honor
was bestowed upon Myron W. Reed of
Denver. The major is a captivating
talker and may capture an Office yet If
he keeps up the persistency which
marked his career as = republican.
He is roaring farce, however. and
dis tied officc seeker cannot RAISE
much wind.
Time will tell how much Of breeze
he can raise In the pepulist camp.

David Dudley Field lays before the
public his plan Of settling the labor
question: 1t is, in brief, that the
state shall pass law making bust
ness corporations divide their
capital, consisting of the value Of
their buildings, money, machinery,
etc, into small sharcs-Mr. Field
himself. suggests s. as the amount Of
one share, so that their workmen can
become purchasers OF some of the
stock. He believes this would recon-
Gle the interests of capital and labor
in such way that there would be no
more trouble. Mr.. Field, being a
lawyer, ought to know, however, that
laws amount to little without a
public opinion to back them. II he
and the other apostles Of reform
would go on a mission of educating
both e1 ploYers and employed up to
the point were each is willing to give
the other fair chance, then his law
compelling corporations to cut up
their stock into small parcels might
stand some chance Of enforcement.

Not many men in the late war rose

In politics, in the early part of his
career, lie was one OF the most
victorious of men. Three times in
the contest for governor Of Ohio he
defeated the ablest democrats in the

and again William Allen in 1875. But
he was never the same man after his
presidential term. The incessant
and bitter attacks on him. which
continued from 1875 till his death,
made so painful an impression on
him that he retired from politics
absolutely at the close of his term in
1881 and never afterWard made a
political speech. The death of his
brilliant and accomplished wife some
years ago was another blow from
which he never recovered. Mrs.
Hayes was his companion much Of
