THE WOMEN of Lexington, Ky, have
entered actively upon crusade against
Colonel Breckenridge, and are boycott
ting their merchants and physicians
who refuse TO kick the Colonel, now
that he is down. Ifthey don't mind,
they VIII present the virile Colonel in
the lght Of martyr, and thereby Sc
cur his election by n large majority
Thee, TOO, the course of the gentleman
who Is running against him is not in
accord with the natural feeling of Ken
tuckians, which is always in favor of
the smaller animal in a dog-iight. He
could with credit have been candidate
forlhe Coionel's seat two years ago, and
could be, two years hence, but to avail
himself Of the present, when the man
he opposes is terribly handicapped and
is in sore straits, does not well comport
with the chiyalrous feeling that is char
acteristic OF the people of his State.

GRUMBLERs are of all people the
most depressing. 1t is not necessary
for you yourself to be personally found
fault with to make it worse than misery
to be with them. 1t is the atmosphere
they create about themselves, the life
they give you to lead and when their
cross humor translates itself into per-
sonal displeasure and quarreling over
trihes, then they are the very scourges
of their time and place, and no one can
be blamed who tries to escape from
them.

THE STREET sweepers in an Ohio
city, who were paid dollar and a
quarter a day, struck last Monday for
higher wages, and, because other men
gladly took their places, raised riot,
which the police were unable to quell,
and which was only suppressed by the
arrival at the scene Of two strong mill
tary companies The strikers were as
sisted and stimulated in their violence
by many of the other vicious residents
of the city. Such incidents natur-
ally suggest to people possessed
of reasoning faculties, doubts OF
the ACCESSIBILITY Of the expense
of maintaining both the legal and
military systems of government. If
men refuse to obey the law, and can
only be estopped from committing rob-
berry and murder by soldiers, why the
totally unnecessary expense of pre-
liminary resort to judicial authority?

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY -, 1891.

WASHINGTON is always filled with
lazy, unemployed people. Indeed it
has become the temporary or perma-
nent abode of a largo number of beats,
bummers and others who live by their
wits. Coxey brought about three nun
dred more there, many of whom, now
ever, have already left the city in DIS
gust. That the class of men referred
to won't do manual labor has been de-
monstrated IN countless cases, and yet
some OF the Washington newspapers
are silly enough TO advise the adoption
Ex-senator PETERS wild scheme for pro-
yidng such work, by commencing an
immense system of new sewers, streets
and water ways. The money appro-
priated for such purpose would GER
tainly be expended, but it is just as
certain that none of it would go into
the pockets of the CoXeyites, who, ac-
cordinS to their own words, didn't
came to Washington to work.

NIRGINIANs SURELY must be dead in
love with politics, offices and elections.
TO most right minded people, the latter
are absurd and grotesque bores, but yet,
though there was a gubernatorial cleo
ton in this States last fall, talk of the
next one, nearly four years of, has al
ready commenced, and the claims of
several aspirants for the Office to be
then filed, are being urged by the
workers" of the respective would-be
candidates referred to. In the matter
elections, the evil of the day is unques-
tionablv sufficient thereof.

IT REALLY seems as if the democratic
Congress is striving to the full extent of
its power to supply what the President
has left undone to disgust the people
of the country with the democratic
party. Indeed the belief is becoming
prevalent that the delay and uncer-
tainty in respect of the passage of the
tariff bill, is due entirely to the effect of
money or its equivalent placed where it
will do certain Senators the most good.

DATE FOR The ASSEMBLING OF Con-
GREss.-The much discussed bill of
Representative Grain, of Texas, to
change the date for the assembling of
Congress was favorably reported to the
House yesterday, democrats and repub-
licans of the committee joining in o
unanimous report. The bill provides
that the first session of each Congress
shall begin the first Tuesday after
March 4 instead of waiting until the
following December. The second ses-
sion is to begin on the first Monday in
January instead of December, as at
present.

a CONVICT in the Idaho penitentiary
whose term had been shortened on ac-
count of good behavior while in prison
has refused to leave until the ex-
piration of the full term to which he
was sentenced, for the avowed reason
that he is more comfortable within the
prison than he ever was before in all
his life outside 1T. And yet there are
foolish people who say that imprison-
ment is the only sort of punishment
that should be inflicted for crime, and
that the whipping post is a barbarous
institution. Wise men know that fog
ging is the most effective of all deter
ments of crime, and that a resort to it
in this country would reduce criminal
expenses at least two thirds.

CoXEY's CAsE.-On Tuesday next,
the motion for new trial will be ar
gued before Judge Miller, of the Police
Court, in Washington. Representative
Hudson, of Kansas, will probably make
the principal speech. If the motion is
overruled, as it probably will be, SEN
tence will be imposed at once by Judge
Miller. There is no appeal from a po-
lice court decision, and the lawyers for
the Commonweal have given up their
previously expressed intention of ap-
plying to a higher court for writ of
habeas corpus, so the leaders will have
to submit to the decision Of the Judge.
What will become of the commonweal-
ers in their new camp out in Maryland,
if their leaders are sent to the work
house for & term, is question.
Yesterday afternoon the attorney for
CoXey filed the motion for a new
trial. 1t includes the usual formal
grounds, with the additional declara-
ton that the law under Which Coxey
was convicted is unconstitutional and
void, because in violation of the letter
and spirit of the first amendment to the
constitution.
Lawyer Hyman will also file mo-
ton for new trial in behalfof Browne.
with the additional ground that the
verdict should be set aside, because it
was not properly recorded.

a SoFT-CRAB WAR IMpENDING.-It
is understood that the Virginia auth
critics have determined to put an end
to poaching of soft crabs in forbidden
waters and will use shot and shell to
keep the Maryland invaders out. Yes
terdaya gentleman representing Gov
ernor O'Ferrall called at the Navy De-
partment and saw Assistant Secretary
McAdoo about securing ammunition to
fight the soft-crab catchers. He in
formed the Assistant Secretary that
boats from Maryland had been dis
covered on Virginia shores taking soft
crabs and that it was impossible to put
an end to their depredations except by
a display of authority and force from
the State. Governor O'Ferrall's repre-
sentative was referred to the bureau of
ordinance and there made arrange
ments to secure shells for the Dahl grcn
and Whitworth guns mounted on the
States small naval fleet. 1t is said the
Governor intends mounting these guns
on small swift boat drawing not more
than three feet of water in order to run
close in shore and pepper Marylanders
who are caught taking crabs in Nir-
ginia waters.

The MctIloGists.

Two important papers were present
ed in the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, in
Memphis, yesterday, relating to church
federation. The first declared that as
the Methodist Episcopal Church had u
commission to consider the subject Of
federation and sought closer union, and
rs the address of the southern bishops
pleaded for more cordial cooperation,
the time had come for action, and ii
was, therefore, moved that commits
sion OF fifteen be appointed by the
bishops with view to federation.
The second paper was from the Yves
tern North Carolina Conference, and
asked the appointment Of one bishop
two elders and two laymen to confer
with similar commission from the
Methodist Episcopal Church to prevent
the presence of more than one form Of
Episcopal Methodism in foreign field
of missions, and to consider the subject
of federation.
A paper proposing temperance bu-
reau was referred and then the report
of the committee on temperance offer
ed on Thursday was put upon its pas
sage. The report proposes to amend
the law so that signing an application
for a license by member Of the church
and renting property for the sale of
liquor should be treated like liquor
selling is by the church-as an immor-
atty laying the offender liable to ex-
pulsion upon conviction. Conference
adjourned before action was taken.
A resolution requiring the bishops to
consult the presiding elders with regard
to every appointment went over under
the rules, as did also paper providing
that member ofthe church should not,
because of sex, be ineligible to the offices
of secretary of the quarterly conference,
Sunday school superintendent or stew
ard This plea for woman's rights
caused much laughter, which indicated
its fate when it comes up.
The committee of revisal reported
favorably upon q resolution of Drs.
Whitehead and Edwards, making it
competent for layman to preside in
church conferences in the absence Of
the pastor.
The Sunday-school committee report
ed against Sunday-school kindergar-
ten system.
DR.. a. Coke Smith, of Virginia, made
the report on the Bible cause. Its chief
feature was one that it required collec-
tions in every charge for the Bible.
The quadrennial address of the Bsh-
ops to the general conference is from
the pen of Bishop John c. Cranberry.
1t points out the freedom from strife in
the church. There has been as near an
approach to unity in doctrine and APP
prevail of the general polity as can be
expected in church of $4,000 men,
bers and 5,4S7 preachers. The addi-
tions to the church in four years have
been $4,000 members and 625 minis
ters. The Membership includes 6,5l3
local preachers.
