The Coxey Movement.

The Coxey movements assuming
alarming proportions throughout
the country. Notwithstanding the
arrest and conviction of Coxey and
his staff for attempting to speak
from the Capitol steps and for step
ping on the grass of the Capitol
grounds, companies and regiments,
battallions and brigades are march
ing on Washington from every Re-
publican State in the Union.
The more the authorities perse-
cute and prosecute the Common
wealers, the stronger and moro de-
termined the Coxeites become.
They are supplied with money
and provisions by sympathising
friends, which shows that Coxey
has plenty of friends who are try
ing to gain notoriety out of this
extraordinary movement.
Coxey, Browne and Jones are out
on bail. The lawyers have his case
and if a new trial is not granted
them, it will be appealed, and there
is no telling where the end will be,
or what will be the outcome.
Their conviction does not decide
the Coxey question. The humble
bees nest has been stirred up, and
the unrest of the working men is
showing itself everywhere.
Instead of using harsh means to-
ward these people, by the authori-
ties, we may need little oil on the
troubled waters so that the wind
connot get such a good hold on
them.
The wind is blowing all around;
little storms and cyclones are gath
ering in the West, with a hot wind
ahead of them, and the general out
look is alarming. Uncle Sans
farm hands are having words about
who shall be boss, and the old uncle
himself may be called upon to set
tie the dispute.
The charges the laborers have
against the bosses and the overseers
is, that the bosses and overseers are
getting all the corn, aud the men
who raised the corn get nothing
but the cob, and they are trying to
get into tho crib to help themselves.
The "corn" will be acknowledged
before another President is sworn
in, and we may all be glad to get a
chance to smoke a corn-cob of
peace.
This movement is directly charge
able to the vicious legislation of the
Republican party for the past thirty
years. upon questions of tariff, fl
nance and foreign pauper labor.
If the Democratic party, now in
power, will quickly pass the reform
tariff bill, pass fair silver coinage
bill, and a stringent law against
bringing foreign pauper labor, I'M
der contract, into this country, to
supplant American workingmen,
the unrest of the workingmen will
cease and the Commonweal Army
will soon disband.

Very Respectfully.
THOS. III. HARVEY.
May II. 18s4.

1t is true that the Republican
Senators are flibustefing and OBJ
structing the passage of the tariff
bill, but it is not fair to attempt to
put the full measure of response
bility for the continued delay upon
them. lis not surprising that they
should pursue such tactics, moth
ing else is to be expected of them.
They are avowedly opposed to any
curtailment of protection privileges,
and stand committed to prevent, if
possible, any reduction of the enor-
GUS tariff exactions, and pledged to
a continuation of class legislation,
but they are in the minority, and
ought not to be allowed to pursue
their policy.

The changes in the tariff sched-
uIes will be a long step in the
direction of tariff reform. The par
tisan papers see the business i'm
provement bound to follow the
passage of the bill, and will en-
deavor to have the public believe
that there have been but slight
changes made in the tariff.

Political tendencies seem to be
drifting back to normal conditions.
The Republicans will continue to
claim that the hard times are the
result of Democratic administration,
but evidence is that the people are
returning to more reasonable views.
Delay in the Senate is now doing
the Democratics more harm than
their alleged share in creating the
panic all over the world.-Ga lipo-

0gEuNor FOR 10 YEARS:

Bank.
NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa. May 15.-
Fred c. Fink, the expert who has been
making an examination of the books of
the defunct Perry County bank, has
made his report He finds the bank has
been insolvent for at least 1s years and
since that time has run further behind
nearly every year. He places losses at
$95, 900 and finds shortage of $4,000
for which no explanation can lie made.
The amount in the hands of the as
signees will probably all be used in the
payment of preferences and expenses,
leaving nothing toward the $4,000 due
depositors and other creditors.

Judge Harvey Declines.

We take the following from the
Huntington Advertiser of Saturday:
SIR: 1t will be seen, from the
resolutions of the Logan County
Bar which / here hand you, that
there are at least a portion of the
people of this Judicial Circuit who
are opposed to my becoming a can
didate for congress, and, as I have
always said that / would not be a
candinate for Congress; without the
consent of my friends of this Circuit,
it now becomes a duty that L not
only owe myself, but others who
may aspire to the honor of carrying
the banner of our party to sure and
certain victory this fall, to say that
L am not a candidate do this
from sense of duty to the people
who have hoDored me by an election
to the high and important position
that l then aspired to apd still APP
preciate. The only reluctance 1
have in writing this card is the
disappointment it will give my
friends, who desired to see me adj
vanced and who have urged me to
become a candidate; but they un-
derstand my position and know
that what they have done for me is
most sincerely appreciated; and l
now and here most heartily thank
my friends throughout the District,
who have SO generously rendered
me their support, as well as the
press for the kind and compliment
airy mention of my name and sup
posed candidacy.
Very Respectfully.

FosroR1A, O., May 15.-The most phe-
no1nenal gas well ever known was
drilled just west of this city Monday
by the Chicago Oil company, which is
composed of Major w. v. Meeker and
associates of Chicago. The well is stu
ated on the James Wallace farm in Ham
cock county. The drill had only reached
the depth of $50 feet and the well had
Just been cased, which fact makes the
gigantic gasser still more prodigy,
since gas or oil was never knowfl to have
been found at depth of less than 900
to 1900 feet.
The drillers heard the roar of gas as
the drill tapped the reservoir and ran for
their lives from the derrick, but none too
soon, as the ponderous drill was hurled
Like n Shot From aGnn.
to height Of nearly hundred feet
above the treetops. The casing fol-
lowed in quick succession, and was
scattered and bent in tangled mass in
the surrounding vicinity. No sooner
had the immense volume of gas given
vent to its strength than it ignited from
the fires of the boiler nearby and shot a
steady volume of fire over 100 feet high,
SO that it lowered far above the treetops
and could be seen for miles around.
Enough oil is thrown out with the gas
to keep large space surrounding the
well
A Lake of Fire,
aud it is impossible te get closer than
100 feet to the Turning we'll.
The entire plant of She drillers, includ-
ing the engine ana boiler, are all encir-
cled by the flames, and everything is a
total loss. The surrounding vicinity is
a boggy place. and for quarter OF a
mile surrounding the well in many
places gas Is coming up through the
earth with s1ch force that ground and
water are thrown to height of 10 feet
or more, and these patches resemble
boiling springs as tina water gurgles and

entire

coming through the ground, and people
have left the place fearing that at any
time the entire vicinity may spring into
a mass of seething flames.
The roar of the gas can be heard for
10 miles, AMI people are walking for
miles around to see the gusher. Oil men
old in experience declare that nothing
like it has ever been known. 1t is en-
tirely new territory, and it is supposed
to be
