coxEY IN COURT.
He Is Refused Separate Trial by
Judge Miller.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May A.
Another opportunity was offered
the eommonweal leaders to exploit
themselves before the public to-day
in the Police court, where proceed
ings against the leaders were had.
Carl Browne took advantage of the
occasion to swagger about in his
buckskin apparel, and once put in
aword ofcomment regarding the pro-
ceedings. Judge Miller, who is
hard-headed magistrate, exhibits a
tendency to treat the titled COM
monwealers like other defendants,
and threatened to have the marshal
consigned to the dock.
There was an audience gathered
which filled the courtroom and in
cluded most of the Populist leaders
as well as other members of Con-
gress. Senator Allen, while dis
claiming sympathy with what he
called the visionary ideas of Coxey,
made strong plea for the consti-
tutional rights of citizens to peaeea-
bly, assemble and petition Congress.
Judge Miller refused a separate
trial for Coxey, SO the three defend
ants are in one boat. They were
represented by three attorneys,
Representative Lafe Pence Of Colo
rado, ex-Assistant District Attorney
A. A. Liscomb of Washington and
a young and inexperienced lawyer
named Hyman. The proceedings
were good natured. Once Repre-
sentative VanV oorhis of New York
interjected a speech, although he
had no connection with the case, and
it was difficult to tell who were the
actual participants.
Major Moore. the chief of police,
in his sestimony, repeated the con-
versation with Coxey on April 30,
when the general asserted his inten-
ton of carrying out the programme
of speaking from the Capitol steps.
Mr.. Liscomb endeavored to show
by tie major that the Capitol grounds
had often been used for purposes
such as Mr.. Coxey had endeayored
to carry out, but was overruled. The
trial will be continued tomorrow,
and the attorneys stated to the court
they expected to conclude then.
The frequent showers of rain that
fell here to-day dampened the ardor
and enthusiasm of the army of
commonwealers. The men are not
adequately protected against the
weather. and present forlorn and
detected appearance. The rations
furnished are simple and limited.
The feeding Of 500 and more men,
besides a number of horses, requires
considerable activity on the part of
those in charge of the commissary
department. Affairs at the camp
are quiet and the men show no out
ward sign of dissatisfaction.

SECRETARY CARLISLE uttered
words of wisdom when he said ::
1.-THE repeal of the Mckinley act
and the substitution of a more just
and equitable measure in its place
are of vital Importance to the pros
perity Of the country, and the people
have right to expect that all really
in favor of a reduction of the tariff
taxation will make such reasonable
concessions in each others views as
will certainly accomplish these re-
suits. -

Herr Most, Mrs. Parsons and D theirs al
the Capital-S0me OF the Causes for
Terror Traced and Found TO
be FooIishIy Wanting.

/ ASHINGToN, May "a rumol
that Chicago, New York and Pitts
burg anarchists We're in Washington
was current yesterday and was
pretty generally spread about the
city.
| Lucy Parsons was reported to be
here, and Herr Most was said to
have run down from New York just
to have a hand ID the fun.
A Chicago newspaper man who
came here with the army was quoted
as saying that he had recognized
several members of the International
Commune in the Capital grounds
during the parade.
1t was further said that Mai.
Moore's principal object in having
detectives here from other cities
was that these anarchists might be
picked out, ,and that Roger 'Meara,
Chief of the Pittsburg Police, came
here to locate some red flag followers
from his city.
Maj. Moore, Chief of Police, set
tied all of the rumors in a lump by
saying: "Nothing in them"
detectives were brought here
from other cities,' he continued,
"for the purpose Of detecting thieves
and vicious persons, which would
include anarchists, of course. At
inaugurations and other big gather
ings | have requested outside cities
to send detectives here for the same
reason"
"Have you been informed that
several Chicago Internationals were
here?'
eff they are here | haven't heard
of it.'
"Did Chief Roger O'Meara tell
you that four or five Pittsburg riot.
ers and anarchists were in Washing
ton?n
"Mr. O'Meara said nothing OF the
kind to me. He was here with his
wife and they left for Pittsburg last
night. The Calvin brigade of the
Coxey army is due in his city and
he deemed it his duty to be there, y
"It is said, Major: that Lucy
Parsons is in Washington"
"Just SO, just so,' and the Chiei
drew up one eye in very knowing
way. 81 saw in a Chicago paper
several days ago that she was help
ing to organize Coxeyites there and
that she would soon start for Wash
ington. Now, that's excuse enough

The weicame Of The Soil.


Coxey and Kelly headed the
wrong way. In Southern Missouri
there are many thousands of farm
tracts which can be bought for al
most nothing and on any terms the
purchaser pleases. Arkansas offers
similar inducements. Texas has
enough cheap land to afford a living
for more that all the unemployed in
America. Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Alabama are not hall
cultivated.
There is no money, they say, in
farming. Not much cash surplus
in the business, but the day will
never come when man cannot
put fat on his ribs by expending a
little labor ON 100 acres of land.
Perhaps the men who follow
Coxey do not understand farming,
and have not the means to live
while crops are growing. Coxey
understands it, and might start a
farming school instead of wasting
volumes of breath in demanding a
violation of the Constitution.
And, if unfamiliarity with farm
ing or lack of means is the only
trouble, The Republic will guaran-
tee that there are a hundred counties
in the States mentioned where the
people will protect any honest,
sincere and industrious man from
distress while he is learning the rudi-
ments of husbandry and waiting for
the corn to grow.
There are rich bottom lands along
the Mississippi which invite labor.
There are healthfnl and productive
bill! slopes which will grow anything
from Marechal Mel roses to turnip
green's.
We recommend the soil of Amer
lea to the Coxey army.

"Hello, Jim.'
"Hello, George
''How are you getting along with

"All right sir; l have 100 acres
planted in fine shape. Have you
got much planted?"
"Yes, and we are still planting v

NEW YORK. May 15.-Unconscious and
bleeding from a pistol wound in her left
breast and another behind the right ear,

IN the struggle ne drew a revolver and
shot her in the breast. Then she became
