United States Senator Hoar has written
. remarkably sensible letter to Swift, the
leader Of the Boston sqnad OF Coxeyites.
Among other things Senator Hoar says:

1.-The Man on Horseback" is an appells-

He was not graceful on foot, and is gener-
ally represented In paintings as mounted.
He established an empire on the ruias OF a
misguided democracy. Though he was
not the first to do 80, his success was the
most striking on record. We say that
after the mob comes the imam on horse
back, the Napoleon. But for the crisis
in France after the revolution Napoleon
might never have achieved greatness. In

military genius comes 10 the front When
the people violently overthrow their lead.
