COXEY'S PROGRAMME
The On-tO-Washington Buckeye
Outlines His Plans.
How the Various Divisions of the Army
of One Hundred Thousand Are to
Be Organized and Differed.

MASSILLON, O., Feb. III. S. Coxey,
the protector of the proposed invasion of
Washington by al army 10000 strong, has
issued a manifesto, giving his plans of or
ganization, as proof that he intends 20 per-
form just what he breaches. The manifesto
is addressed. Dear Sir and Brother and
reads as follows:
The following is the plan of organiZa-
ton of the proposed procession TO Washing
ton May l, 1S94-International Labor Day
to protest in the name of a bankrupt peo-
pie against any further robbery by interest
upon paper (bonds) based upon the public
credit, when the same credit could be used
to issue other pieces Of paper notes) with
out interest of profit TO national (so-calledD
banks. As order is Gods own law, it is
also necessary to have intelligent action
by His people; so the proposed procession
will be composed of groups OF men lciti-
ZenS) numbering five in each, one of whom
must be selected TO act as marshall; group
marshal, to be numbered in the order or
date of group formation
Groups may be federated into companies
nor more. than los. Communes may be
federated into regiments or communities OF
not less than 25 nor more than 1,055. Com
munities ma federate into cantons (divis-
tons and communities must select five mar
shals, to be numbered as first. second. and
so on, the same as the group TaarShalS
shall be designated-thus first group mar
shal, first commune marshal, first canton
marshal, first community marshal.
Badges of designation will be furnished
free by Mr.. Coxey bearing appropriate de-
signs made by myself upon sending certii-
cate of organization or where any group
or organization joins the procession. All
labor unions, farmers alliances or other or
CARNATIONS desiring to join may do so
without reorganiZing as above. and will be
given right of line. 1t will be well for all
companies or organizations to procure a
wagon, if possible, TO carry camp utensils
and commissary supplies for each. though
several wagons will be taken from Mas
sillon for the purpose. The procession viii
be called the Common Veal.
NOW, hurry up. The time is short, and
although the roads will be horrible, re-
member the condition of the soldiers under
Washington in the snow at Valley Forge,
struggling to win this fair land from an
English tax on tea; and we, the degenerate
sons OF illustrious sires, have allowed En-
gliSh bOndholderS to get us more tightly
in their grasp than George III had on our
forefathers. Rouse up and demand Con-
gresS to issue paper money based upon our
security. If paper money could fight bat
ties and kill men in 1861 it can build good
roads. and streets and public buildings,
and save us from starving to death. Rouse,
We bondsmen, and protest against the yoke,
at least. Carl Brown will be marshal of
the commune"

SAVED FROM A RESORT.
A Local Villain Thwarted by One of
His Own Friends.

Several months ago a young man of
this city. visited Cincinnati and while there
made the acquaintance of a young lady
whose name is withheld, but whose sur
roundings indicated that she was of good
family. He said that he was a travel
ing man, with headquarters in this city, and
succeeded In getting her promise to cor
respond with him on his return to this city.
He gained his livelihood by hanging
around a resort in the western part of the
city. He could neither read nor write and
persuaded one of his friends to do his cor
responding for him. The letters were ex-
changed for a time with nothing unusual
in the contents. The young man asked his
friend to write 10 the young lady to induce
her to come to this city. as he had. so he
said, a desirable situation In view for her.
The friend desired to know what the situa-
ton was, but the illiterate man
would not tell him, saying that
the situation concerned no one but
the young lady and himself. The friend
thereupon fatty refused to write the letter
unless he was informed as TO the nature
OF the situation.
The iliiterate man then induced a sec
ond friend TO write the letter. The
young lady on receiving it an
swered that as she was out of
employment she would be glad to come
here, but that as she was without money
she would not be able to come. y letter
written by the second friend was sent her
explaining that the money would be sent
her. A reply was received in which she said
that this would suit her. The money was
then forwarded her, and il was arranged
that her trunk should be sent c. o. d. to the
resort where the young man was hanging
out The second friend, a con-
scientious man, saw that the af-
fair was assuming a nature that
threatened the young lady's welfare. so he
demonstrated with the other, but the latter
was obdurate and would not consent to
nave his friend write the young lady as
TO the nature of the situation.
The friend then told the whole story to
persons who are interested in thwarting
such schemes. and said that as the money
had already been forwarded the most de-
ciSive action was necessary. A letter was
soon mailed giving i'm detail the base scheme
which was being worked against her. For
fear that this would not reach her before
she boarded the train and would be we'll
on her way to this city a telegram was
sent 10 the superintendent Of the Humane
Society of Cincinnati asking him to keep
her from coming here at all hazards, and.

this. Immediately after telegraphing. a let

NICKEL-IN-THE-SLOT GAS.
Eight Hours of Illumination at the
Small Cost of Five Cents.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. 11.-People are
accustomed to nickel-in-the-slot machines
which will weigh them, tell their fortunes,
sing a song, provide them with chewing
gum or candy. 1t is doubtful. however, if
even the greatest advocate of the unseful-
ness of these machines ever expected to
find them used to sell gas. Such, however,
is the case. and in a short time, a few
weeks at the most, some of the residents
of the eastern district of this city will have
an opportunity to drop a nickel in the slot
and have forty feet of Illuminating gas
served out for their enlightenment.
The device by which this is TO be done
is the invention of an Englishman and two
American firms have taken hold of the
patent, and from one of the latter the Will
liamsburg Gas Company will purchase its
meters. They will be exactly the same as
the ones now in use, with the addition of
a place in which TO drop the coin and a sys-
TEN Of ratchets which will be moved by the
coin until forty cubic feet of gas for each
nickel dropped in will be permitted to pass
through the meter.
In the poorer districts of the williamsburg
Gas Company's territory, the people use
kerosene almost exclusively, not because 1t
is cheaper, but for the reason that they can
pay for ii as they buy its cents or 10
cents worth at a time-and not have a bill
for it at the end of the month of a dollar
or more. Forty feet of gas will give one
twenty or twenty-two-candle light for full
eight hours. and as the necessity for more
than one light burning steadily for that
time does not exist in the families where
the meters will be placed, a good
light at less than ) cents a day will be pro-
vided. The price is just the same as the
price charged other consumers by the thou
sand. The meters are SO arranged that
some time before the last of the forty feet
of gas is consumed a signal is given, and
that another nickel is needed or the lights
will go out.
The. patent has been put in operation in
Manchester and Liverpool, England, and the
poor classes patronize the gas companies
through it quite extensively. OF course some
funny complications may arise If at any
time there should happen to be a scarcity
of nickels in the neighborhood or if occa-
~sionally the man OF the house should
prefer his nickels TO rush the growler''
than to buy forty feet of something to light
up his home. There will be a large field for
the ingenious person 10 try and beat the
gas company out of its justly due . pence
by the arts known best to the street Arabs
who secure their chewing gum for nothing
by means of tin nickels or pennies with
strings TO them. 1t is claimed, however,
that nothing but the proper coin will pro-
duce the gas.

WHY MEN FAIL.
Prof. 7. J. McAvoy Talks to the Progress
Club on This Subject.

The feature Of the exercises at the
Progress Club yesterday afternoon was an
address by Prof. T. ]. McAvoy. His sub
ject was why We Fail" 1t was a por-
trayal of the causes which crush out and
kill weak ambition and laggard energy.
Professor McAvoy gave his attention to
the little things which, he said, too often
proved TO be the really big things in the
results upon the lives of men. lie found
there were three principal causes why men
failed. and divided them into weakness Of
will. lack of attention to the apparently
little things and the clearness of thought
and lack OF energy. He said the wish
was but the prophecy of the capabilities,
and a strong will and untiring energy
were the agencies TO fulfill the prophecies.
He cited historic Instances OF what men
had ACCOMPLISHED when under the infiu-
ence of a great will power. He did not be-
lieve birth was anything to a reSolute man.
Neither highneSS nor lowness of station
Influenced a man with firm resolution. The
only real difference between men was the
difference in their energies. A strong Will
combined with energy made the armament
with which the battle of life must be fought
and were at the command of every man If
he but exercised his power to command.

reasons for OBTAINING her. The Interested
parties here were greatly relieved on
the following day to receive a let

How to Insure Republican Success.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
While the advantage is with the Repub-
lican party in Indiana in the coming cam
paign on account Of. the general business
depression, which the masses attribute in
a large degree to the Democratic policy. of
free trade, yet the party can only make
certain such a victory by proving itself
capable of the occasion offered. 1t will
not be sufficient for us as a party to sim
ply arraign the Democratic party in our
State platform for all the evils of the times
in general and in particular, but we should
point out the particular abuses that exist
here in Indiana as a result of Democratic
rule and name the remedy for them. The
people should know in advance just what
the Republican party in Indiana would do
il returned to power. The intelligence of
the people demands TO know what a party
propose to do if placed in power, and de-
mands to know that party pledges will be
faithfully kept. The platform should be
brief, but it should not fail to specify the
reforms that the Republican party propose
TO give the people of Indiana in return for
their confidence in the way of reducing the
burden of taxation. 1t Will not be suffi-
cient, as some seem to think, simply to ar
raign Green Smith for his populations in
Office under color of law, but the people
must have good assurance that if his sue
cessor is a Republican the like cannot Oc-
cur again. The reforms the people seek
will not come TO them through the men
elected to serve as officials, unless the
aforesaid officials find themselves bound
hand and foot by party pledges they dare
not violate. Because, forSooth, some Re-
publican State officers in the past made
fortunes out of their official positions by
corrupt methods furnishes no excuse what
ever why the party platform should not
condemn such abuses in explicit terms and
guarantee the people against a recur-
renee of the same. Such incidents only call
the more loudly for the party TO show it's
temper on such questions. This is the age
OF reform, and the party that fails TO keep
abreast OF the times, no matter how glor-
fous it's past, cannot reasonably hope for
permanent success. j. II. CLAYPOOL.
