DR.. Orville W. Owen seems to have
labored largely in vain in his recent efforts
to convince the people Of the District that
the plays ascribed to the man Shakespeare

OF Shakespeare's day that have come down
to us, were really dashed OF by Francis
Bacon in his leisure moments The Carroll
Institute Dramatic Club is going right
ahead with preparations to celebrate
Shakespeare's birthday just as though
Shakespeare really did write the plays. DR.
Owen may feel hurt. but he must console
himself with the thought that some cay

views. the laugh will be on the Carroll In

Now that the laughter which was in
cited by the earlier efforts Of Coxey Of
Aassillon has died away, thoughtful men
the country over, and especially in this
eity-Coxey's objective point-are asking
themselves and each other What manner
Of man Is Coxey, and who are they that
follow him?" The leader of this extraor-
binary crusade is not an unknown guam
tity; his dimensions and weight are plainly
spread upon the records. Extremely self
confident. shallow minded and vain. he
nevertheless has the quality Of tenacity to
y remarkable extent and has succeeded in
fmpressing a large number of men, who are
NJ least his intellectual equals. with his
sincerity and with the idea that his cause
Is worthy their support. Possessed of bust
ness shrewdness and what is said to be a
fairly satisfactory bank account. he has
attached to himself an undoubtedly large
number Of disconnected ones who by reason
Of ignorance or warped mentality imagine
that the Coxey method is the only one that
can bring relief to the millions " no are suf-
fering from the effects Of phenomenal f1nan-
cial stringency. Sympathy with the move
ment Is widespread and unreasoning, few
people having argued out the conclusion
that a man who claims to have with him
two or three individuals who are reincarna-
tons Of great men long dead. and who is
satisfied that Christ himself in the flesh Is
one Of the band now voyasing on the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal toward this
city. cannot be much less than insane. 1t
may be that Coxey seeks notoriety rather
than the reform which he breaches so
loudly and persistently. but whether he de-

The subject Of sewage disposal in the Dis
trict is one that must soon receive the earn
est attention of all who are interested in
the future Of the capital city. Washington
long ago outgrew the system provided for ii
q a time when the city was. so to speak, in
fits short clothes. Capt Derby. the engineer
officer in charge OF sewers. has made a
strong appeal to Congress to make suitable
provision for carrying out within a reason
able time the plans carefully considered
and prepared by the commission of experts
appointed for that purpose by direction OF
Congress. Capt Derby has devoted much
attention to the subject. and in the public
lecture he Is to give to citizens OF Washing
ton next Monday night, at the invitation OF
the Sanitary League. on the subject OF
Sewage Disposal in the District of Column
bia," he will undoubtedly have much to say
that will interest the people.

great change Of heart among American
voters since President Cleveland was re-
elected on a free-trade platform. Discus
sing this interesting but unsatisfactory
discrepancy. Public Opinion says that ZAP
parently the individual voter is left TO al
tentative but to study the questions at is
sue upon their merits and shape his own
course without regard to election returns
And it would not be strange II the individ-
ual voter should ask himself at this point
what reason there is anyhow for allowing
himself to be swayed by the course of ar y
other voter or any number Of voters" The
independent man is going TO be a more
conspicuous figure this year than ever be-
fore. but the chances are that not even the
shrewdest Of prophets can foresee the
amount Of slate-smashing which is going
to be done by the most healthful Of all
factors in the political life Of today.

Party organization Is 20 some extent a
necessity in a country where the form of
government is popular. but it can become
q great evil and in many respects is so
today in the United States. Thousands
upon thousands OF citizens have a realizing
sense Of the dangers OF machine politics
and will vote this year-many for the first
tine-not in obedience to the commands Of
party bosses. but In accord with the die
tates Of their respective consciences. This
Independence can only be regarded as nat
ural when the explanations of the principal
politicians as to present business conditions
are compared. Democrats insist that demo-
cratic delay in redeeming pledges made
during the last presidential campaign is
one Of the main causes of trouble. while
republicans insist that there has been a

fniladelphia's contribution to the ranks
OF the Coxey army gives a very fair idea of
.ne manner In which the movement has
been magnified from the start Two yveek :
ago 1t was generally understood that the
quaker city would swell the ranks of the
army by several thousand men. The exact
NUMBER or recruits that left Philadelphia
was ninety-five and il is reasonahlv Ger

THE WEEK In WALL STREET.

Speculation at the Stock Exchange was nearly
etagnant The total transactions amounted to
less than 100000 shares. and American Sugar
Refning was the only stock In which the busi-
ness exceeded 100000 shares. The movement OF
prices was fever!shly irregular. but final changes
were divided. and with a few exceptions. they
were not large Speculatively the feature was
the sharp decline In Dlstilling and Cattle Feed
ing. which. after a rally OF per cent from It's
lowest point. closed with a loss OF over per cent
For the movement there was apparently no
special reason. but rumors In regard 10 the az
fairs Of the company were exceedingly numerous
The Granger shares were generally depressed.
but the short interest In them was 80 large that
under the circumstances prices were well main
tanned ST. Paul. for instance. closed absolutely
n fraction higher. while the final loss In Rock
Island was only "a per cent and In Chicago, Bur
lington- and Quincy. which was the lavorlte
point Of attack the final loss was less than 2
per cent. Advances of from small fraction to
per cent In specialtes were made In a consider
able number Of stocks. Atchison closed UNI
changed. although II advanced per cent In the
course Of the week.
While there has been nothing whatever in re-
cent developments to check confidence the buy
Ing power seems to be restricted. Europe mas
ceased to take an interest In speculation even
on speculative account and the demand for
stocks and bonds from home investors has been
extremely small. The stock market Is al com
plete standstill and II is not certain what will
give II fresh impulse. The weakness OF the
Granger shares was caused partly by apprehen-
sions that the Government crop report. which Will
be published tomorrow afternoon. would show
further decline in tie condition OF corn
Whether the fears were we'll grounded remains to
be seen. but. on two recent occasions the
Government report has been closely predicted by
spectators In stocks. Whatever the report may
show. there Is no doubt that general business
has increased in volume. while railroad earnings
have continued to show steady Improvement.
Rates have been we'll maintained as rule and
in one or two cases have been advanced Reor-
ganizations have not progressed rapidly but har-
mony between conflicting interests especially in
the Reading Railroad has been established There
is no reason under existing conditions why ehe
prices Of stocks and railway securities should
not advance. The buying. however. is small and
apparently not urgent. .'
