AN NOTORIOUS END.

The Coxey crusade-the march OF
the "Commonweal army"-has met
with several reverses Of late, and
called down upon the heads of the
crusaders the contempt of the people
of forty-four states.
Judge Miller of the Washington
police court has put an inglorious
end to the on-com1ng of the tramps
by sending General Coxey and two
of his assistants, Browne and Jones,
to jail for twenty days. Instead of
his contemplated position at the head
of one hundred thousand men, max
ing impressive demands on the ma ton
al authorities, the leader of the army
finds himself in BLACK Maria" rid
ing to the jail.
The public generally will applaud
the treatment accorded Coxey and
his lieutenants, and this action of the
police court may tend to dampen the
ardor of any other would-be generals
of the Coxey sort.

A COMMENDABLE POSITION,

AS republican state convention day
approaches the people are naturally
interested in the chances of Hon.
Henry c. Bates of St. Johnsbury for
lieutenant governor. Our readers
may rest assured that Mr.. Bates is
still in the field and his chances for
success are steadily improving. AS
the CALIFORNIAN has previously re-
marked, he will have the united sup
port Of the Caledonia county dele
gates and good backing from dele
gates in Essex and Orleans counties.
SUCH united front cannot help hav-
ing weight in the convention.
Mr.. Bates canvass has been con-
Quoted in a way that ought to make
friends for him everywhere. His
name has not been proclaimed from
the house-tops, nor have the news
papers in different parts Of the state
been asked to come out" for him.
He has not asked directly or indi-
rectly any Vermont editor to sup
port him. Influential republicans in
other parts of the state have not
been solicited for their support. He
believes in unpledged delegations to
the state convention and is willing
to have the question decided there.
We are free to confess that some of
the highest honors in the past have
not been obtained in this way, but
we believe that the voters of this
state are thoroughly disguised with
the cut and dried" methods of some
of our recent campaigns. Mr.. Bates
position will command respect all
popular chord and one that will
please the intelligent voter.
Mr. Bates neither asks nor expects
any further political honors He is
not in training for any higher Office.
1t would be honor enough for him to
be the next lieutenant-governor,a and
he would fill that office with ability
dignity and grace.
The people Of northeastern Yer.
mont, and particularly of Caledonia
county, should take especial pride in
his candidacy. St. Johnsbury has
never furnished the state with q
acknowledgements and it has beer
great many years since one was
chosen from this county. Essex

QUITE COOL.

The weather-wise individual who
prophesied during the balmy days
of March that we should make up
for this" or words to that effect,
has had his I-told-you-so proclivities
considerably strengthened during the
past two or three weeks. Late
spring or early summer weather of
the genuine kind has certainly been
slow in developing; vegetation,
which took so early a start, has
been perceptibly retarded, and three
or four mornings of frost have made
some replanting of garden truck
necessary. Low temperature has
been the rule every morning in this
month, and on but few DAYS has
there been any approach to summer
heat.
But Northern Vermont has not
been alone in this experience with
cold waves. Reports from other
sections of this country. and from
portions Of Europe, show an even
worse condition of things, including
snow falls. Even Kentucky was
visited by a crop-destroying mantle

HORSE GOSSIP.

Gil Curry, the fast horse owned by
Hamilton Brock of Boston, has two
likely PAGERS this year in Guy, 2:O634,
and Major Wonder, 2:O934.
George M. Stevens of Lancaster,
who is a familiar figure here at our
fairs, has about so head of well-bred
trotting stock at his Lancaster farm
He thinks the horses most in de-
mand now are good roadsters, car
riage animals and saddlers.

CALEDONIA COUNTY CASES.

The supreme court in session at
Montpelier took up Caledonia coun-
ty cases last Friday. One of them
was that Of the Merchants National
bank of St. Johnsbury against
Arthur Tabor. The defendent had
mercantile paper discounted at the
bank, which became overdue to the
extent of 5000. He gave a mort
gage on his farm to cover this
amount, claiming it was free of in
cumbrance. He became insolvent,
when it was found there was anoth-
er mortgage, and the bank brought
action for fraud.
The case of George Van Dyke
against Weldon & Co. of McIndoes
Falls is as to a question of fact in a
verbal agreement in a lumber trade.
In the case of the state against
Napoleon Valwell, charged with lar
ceny of maple sugar, defendant was
convicted in the lower court and the
case came up on the admissibility of
certain evidence.

SECRETARY GREsHAMAND SAMOA

SECRETARY Gresham, having inau-
gura ted, with the cordial endorse
ment of Mr.. Cleveland, a Hawaiian
policy that was so peculiar to itself
as to merit the public disapproval
it very promptly received, has now
taken up Samoa, and suggests that
this country give up its interests
there Under President Cieveland's
first administration that executive
and his secretary of state, Mr.. Bay
ard, saw fit to take a decided posi-
ton as to Samoa, as follows:
The moral interests of the United
States with respect to the islands of the
Pacific, necessarily dependent in greater
or less degree on our American system of
commonwealth, would counsel us to
look with concern on any movement by
which the independence OF those Pacific
nationalities might be eXtinguished by
their passage under the domination of a
foreign sovereign; and this would be
equally true of possible German or
English protection
The administration continued to
insist that the independence and
the autonomy of Samoa be scrupu-
lousy preserved This American
doctrine was upheld also by Presl-
dent Harrison; at least there was no
attempt, under his administra ton,
to change the Samoan statu. Mr..
Gresham now goes back upon the
policy of his predecessor and recon-
mends to the senate the withdra wal
of the United States interests in
these islands, for the reason, in sub
stance, that the game is not worth
the powder.
The New York Sun. commenting
on this latest move of Gresham, de-
clares that this country will refuse,
like Mr.. Bayard, to tolerate any
movement by which Samoa might
pass under the DONNA ton of a for
eign sovereign. This is equally true
Of possible English as we'll as posi-
BILE German protection"
But late dispatches from Wash
iugton and London indicate that
Samoa may, after all, slip from our
grasp, and that the British and Ger
man governments are planning for
just such an event.
If there was any good reason, in
the period between 1885 and 1889,
for this country's securing a hold
in Samoa; if the moral or CONNER
cial interests of the United States
there were worth insisting on then,
there would seem to be no satisfac-
tory reason for abandoning those
interests now on the recommended
ton of a cabinet minister whose
foreign policy has not, up to date,
been glittering success.

Floods. gales, fires and cyclones
have made rather startling record
during the past week. The great
lakes have been the scene ofextensive
loss to shipping and the loss ofmany
lives; and Johnstown, Pa, which
was so fearfully submerged some
years ago, has been seriously threat
ened again by the rising of the Con
emaugh river, the inhabitants being
compelled to flee for their lives. New
York's rivers have been on the ram
page, and damage to property
along the banks is large.
