OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

ihbustering over the Joy.O'Neill con-
test.
But II the congressman only were
here to promote the general welfare"
as per their sworn duty, under the con-
stitution, they could issue the money
which this greRt-souled man from Ohio
is riding hitherwsrd TO petition for.
They could issue the same kind Of
money which Abraham Lincoln issued
in that other and lesser war; this coun.
try Is in the midst Of o fearful wars
war with the natural enemies Of man"
kind, with hunger, cold, want, igror-
ance, Elm, and sll manner Of unolean-
ness. Let Brother CCxey's bills become
law, and IL side Of two weeks there need
not be q single idle man from ocean to
ocean. The tires would be lighted In
every furnace, every wheel would be
revolving, trade would revive, the mer-
chant would sell his goods, the me-
chsnics, the brick layers, the tailors, all
would be employed. II every man now
idle were gattinR $3.50 per day, there
would be no need for the farmers Of
Kansas to feed his wheat to hogs, nor
for the @ lifornis fruit grower to fatten
swine with rsisins, as they are now
doing. Employed labor would create
homo market for farm produce, and for
the products OF the mills, and mines,
and shops. Men now dispirited and
ambitionless would revive their man
hood and work with might and main to
get little homes of their own. All this
is entirely practicable. The only reason
why II would not come about is because
there will not enough men and women
rally to the support Of Mr.. Coxey, and
instruct their public servants to do their
duty double quick. II the Christian
ministers had read the "New Rsdemp-
tion," IL church members would apply
their Christianity, il business men
were worldly wise, il patriots had their
country's veal at heart, why, then
the good roads bill might pass,
and this attempt Of Mr.. CJxey
to initiate the "initistive" would
succeed. The movement is q nom
partisan one. Democrats and republi-
cans could cling to their beloved par
ties and play hide and go-seek with the
tariff. No one would care to meddle
with that enjoyable party pastime IL
once the workIngmen were honestly and
really considered, and employed, as they
would be under the operations Of this
gOod-roads bill There is no reason in
the world whyJ. K. Hudson should not
lend the Capital to the support Of this
bill to make good roads. One of the
best pieces Of writing / ever read on the
subject was an editorial in the Capital.
/ trust that Mr.. Hudson will reproduce
it at this juncture IN support OF Mr..
Coxey. And no one knows better than
Mr. Hudson the good quality of green.

Washington Correspondence.
Will Coxey's army come to Washing.
tonP That 10 the question whicn has
thrown all other questions in the
background for the past week. The
Post and the Star have rsined ridioule,
vituperRtion and misrepresentation upon
Citizen Coxey; these two principal news
papers have done their vicious bsst to
+oreats-~hestility and alarm. Should
there be any disturbance of the peace
after Mr.. Coxey and his peaceful petit
tioners reach Washington, these two pa
pers will be- responsible for it. Mr..
Coxey's plan may be wise or unwise, let
that be as 1t may; he has now begun q
march from which nothing but death or
dire disaster can deter him, and 1t is the
business OF all right-minded persons to
stand by his right to perform his peace
full, constitutional, humanitarian, divine
mission. / begged, besought and argued
in vain with Mr.. G Key not TO undertake
this move; not but that he had perfect
right to do 80; not but that every hing
he will petition congress for 10 just and
righteous, and practicable, and ought to
be granted within twenty four hours after
his arrivsl--indeed ought not to await
his RrrivRl-but just because his petit
tions are 80 just, 30 righteous, and 30
practical, therefore, this congress will
have none of them.
This congress is not here for the peo-
pie; it is here for party, for plutocracy,
and for re election, and nothing short OF
a miracle can get anything from it that
will largely help the people. Congress
may pass it's little seven-by nine seigaior-
age bill over the presidents veto. There
will be little morsel Of decency in such
action, but, 80 far as practical relief from
present distress goes, 1t will be but q
swallows twitter that hints Of coming
spring. Uncounted thousands Of human
beings are starving to-day. The tissues
of their bodies are wasting for lack OF
sufficient food. Rescue for these perish
ing ones must come sooD, or it will be
everlsstingly too late. The moral sense
OF untold thousands Of men and women
is perishing to-day, breaking down under
the dizziness induced by trouble and
privstion. Now ls the accepted time.
TO-DAY is the day for action, il We would
save the bodies and souls Of the helpless
ones. But can this congress be made to
see it? Bah! no; they haYe no time to
think. Senators Gormsn and Brice and
q score Of lawyer representatives Of
sugar, coal, lumber and iron, are busy
protecting their especial syndicstes.
Colonel Breckenridge is too busy. Sens.
tor Martin is too busy-just fairly DIS
trscted attending to the Kansas seekers
after postofices. The rest Of them are

Constable Gest, of Riverside. on Tues
day last, brought to the county Jail boy
in knickerbockers His name is Howard
Thomson, son of William j. Thomson.
The boy is about Is years old, and at
the last term of court he was the defend
ant in suit brought by Mary Langin to
recover damages for injuries received by
her daughter from bicycle which young
Thomson was riding.
The jury awarded damages in the SUN
of 1851 %. This amount was not paid,
and after waiting in vain for the money,
the woman's lawyers. Messrs. Gilbert q
Atkinson, secured capias on which the
lad was arrested and taken to jail, the
sheriff being directed TO keep the boys
body until the money was paid.
When the constable went for his youth
full prisoner, the father was not at home,
and the mother became very much wor-
ried, but there was no alternative, and
the constable was compelled to bring the
boy to jail. Sheriff Townsend put the
lad in the parlor and did all in his power
to make him comfortable.
( When the father arrived home anc
heard of the affair, he at once came tC
Mount Holly and consulted Mark Il
sooy, who Immediately secured the boy''
release. The lad made affidavit to thu
fact that he is not possessed Of any prop
erty, and gave bonds to appear at thu
next term of court, when he will appl,
for dismissal Of the capias on the groun'
that he is not solvent. If this application
is granted il will settle the entire suit.
