Federal Troops Wsl watch Them

TACOMA, April 26, 1884. Considerable ap-
prehension has existed here in regard to the
industrial army" movement. 1t was feared
that the bands from Tacoma and Seattle,
which will centre at Meeker Junction IN
few DAYS, would seize train and cause
trouble Prompt action on the part or the
federal authorities, however, has done much
to dispel this fear. About fifty. deputy
marshals have been sworn in by order OF the
United States Circuit Judge. The federal
authorities announce that they can secure
force enough to prevent the tramps getting
out of the State with stolen train.
Expects to Get a Train.
SEATTLE, Wash. April 26, 1S94.-The
Northwestern Industrial FORCES, 100 strong,
marched out of town last night, first making
a demonstration on the principal streets,
which were packed with people to see them
depart. They marched through Seattle, four
miles, and camped for the night in church
and several deserted store buildings.
Commander Shepard says the men will be
marched to Puyallup, thirty miles distant
on the Northern Pacific where, he says,
train will be taken. He refuses to tell how
he expects to get the train, and admits that
the Northern Pacific refused to give him
one.
Expect a Raid.

some time today, but the railroad company
is determined not to carry the tramps. A
carload of special officers passed through
ahead of the last freight train to circumvent
any move which the tramps might make.

ooXEY's OWN ON THE MARCH.
Escorted From Frederick, Nd, BY
Deputy Sheriffs.

FREDERICK, Md, April 20, 1S94.-The
Army of Commonweal marched out OF
Frederick, this morning, in sight Of even
larger crowd than that which greeted their
entrance on Tuesday. 1t was quite COM
pliment to the rough looking travellers, for
they had come in the face of strong and de-
termined opposition and they left the town,
leaving very good impression behind
them
The Sheriff's posse had been summoned to
bring them into town, like gang of crimi-
mails and ten of the same posse rode at the
head of the procession, but it was sort OF
honor in the eyes of the Commonwealers,
and of the people who lined the sidewalks.
The deputies themselves looked rather fool
ish, as though they had been called upon to
protect the town from the assault of an
orphan asylum. and there was more than
one heartless jest hurled at them from TIE
young men and small boys on the sidewalk.
The only consolation in it for them was that
they were drawing their $3 per day and
would continue to do SO till the Common
veal was out of the county.
The Coxey men themselves were arrayed
as usual, the rank and file not having many
changes of clothing, even in honor of a
Sheriff's escort. Some of them were armed
with their flags of peace, and looked
as though with these weapons they
could have made pretty good
stand off of the mounted dep
uties. There was lively time in the
Commonweal camp just after midnight.
Some of the new recruits who had been
drinking without obeying Brownies orders
of sticking to good whiskey and using only
moderate quantity, got into free for
all fight. In the midst of the row gun
was fired and the police rushing to the scene,
the crowd scattered. One Hungarian, who
was too drunk to run, was captured. A
census of sscommunen showed this morning
that three of the men were missing, but it is
more than likely that they will be found
waiting for the command to stop for
dinner.

Russia,S New Czar.

Just now the eyes of the whole world
are focused upon the new ruler of
Russia, Emperor Nicholas II. The in
terest in the new car Is, no doubt,
heightened by the universal opinion
that the young man who has had the
great responsibilities suddenly thrust
upon him does not possess the qualities es-
sential to success in presiding over a
vast territory which is peopled with the
most restless and turbulent of all
human kind; class of agitators that
could never under any conditions be sat
isfed. 1t has been demonstrated in this
country, where q condition of affairs
exists that is supposed to fill all Of the
requirements of the nihilist, anarchist
or socialist, that the restless, morbid
bomb-thrower can never be satisfied.
No matter what his conditions may be,
he is ever the same brooding, plotting
malcontent, haunted by the idea that
humanity at large may be benefited by
some terrible crime at his hands. In
the attempt to govern nation that Is
composed largely of these plotting
flends, who will enter upon their work
withrenewed vigor under the new regime
1t must be admitted that the young czar
has very large contract on hand.
Emperor Nicholas begins his reign in
good spirit and with an evident desire
to please his people and win their APP
proval. Whether or not he will be
strong enough to resist the arbitrary

lowance for all exceptional compllca-
tions which had to be accepted by tho
Democratic leaders, they have failed TO
develop such craftsmanship as can COM
mand the confidence of the country. 1t
was an occasion for great leadership;
such an occasion as in all past experience
of the government has created men whom
the nation followed, but in neither senate
nor house was there developed during the
last session of congress any measure OF
leadership that could invite the trust Of
the people. The most fearful lesson that
the last session taught the nation, and one
that more impressed the people than all
its many specific blunders, is the en-
forced considerate judgment of the ma
tion that Democrats do not possess the
craftsmanship required to govern this
great Republic There is today ten-fold
more faith in the tariff reform and finan-
cial policy of the national administra-
tion than there is in the leaders of the
Democratic party, and until the party
shall develop leadership It must expect
defeat. Yesterday gave ii an overwhelm-
ing slump because the occasion called
for revolution; but there will be Demo-
cratic slumps or Democratic victories in
the future depending solely upon the abil-
ity of Democratic authority to win the
confidence of the American people. When
the people don't trust, they always
slump"

goal were praiseworthy; and in many
cases the disappointment must have
been great But the battle was in vain
from the outset. The will of the silent
hosts asserted itself with telling force.
The overwhelming majorities came not
entirely from partisan forces, but the
vote that dashed to earth the hopes of
many local candidates was largely cast
by the thinking people of all political
creeds, who took this occasion to ad-
minister stern rebuke to the party of
experiment that has brought ruin and
disaster upon the country by it's reck-
less direction of the affairs of the ma
ton. 1t was against the administra-
ton of free trade and starvation that
the avalanche was directed that caught
so many unfortunate and misguided
followers of the party as it swept over
the country.
Under the circumstances Republicans
can afford to treat our friends, the
enemy. with consideration. Let us re-
member that they have enough grief
to bear and refrain from personalities
that additionally embitter the spirit in
the hour of defeat.

Jaekass Democrats Accused.

Wilkes-Barre NewsDealer: "The Dem
ocratic party is beaten out of its boots
Jackass Democrats in congress, by delay
ing the passage of its tariff bill, did the
work. The wreck is whole and complete.
The poor, sold out hoodooed party that
looked up to the big stuffed prophet ut
Washington as its oracle, is away down
in the dregs of the consomme. The people
were frightened and misled by Republican
buncombe, and although miserably de-
feated now, the Democratic party is not
dead. 1t sleepeth only. After awhile,
like truth crushed to earth, it shall rise
again. The good old champion of the
poor and oppressed will come back into
the sunlight of victory again. The DEM
ocratic party has been sandbagged by
footpads and dark lantern villains. The
clouds are dark above us now. But the
sun shines beyond. Be patient and wait.
There's a good day coming. Good thing,
push 1t along"

New York Advertiser: "The battle is
over. The enemy is routed. Republican,
ism has triumphed. Protection will still
protect and Tammany is overthrown.
The victory means that the great Amer
lean people have been aroused and have
shown themselves worthy their glorious
heritage. 1t means the death, beyond all
possibility of resuscitation, of that party
that for forty years has never had power
without showing an increased capacity
for laundering and incompetency. Final
ly the victory means that from the lakes
to the gulf, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, we should give thanks for the
downfall of the Democratic party and all
it stands for, and the triumph of protec-
ton, law, order, good government and all
that makes for the glory of the nation.
The Democratic party Is indeed dead.
And it cannot be born again. Praise
God from Whom all Blessings Flow"

Colonel Singerly Explains.

Philadelphia Record: Pennsylvania is
a Republican state; but the energy of its
Republicanism yesterday was something
magnificent. Evidently the voters have
carried to the account of Democracy all
of the i'll fortune that has befalln the
country as the elimination of Republican
misrule, and we suspect there may be
hidden under the pile of adverse major
tiles an A. =. A. remainder. However 1t
all came about, 1t is an undoubted sweep.
He is a poor soldier, however who com
plains of the fortune of war, and those only
who know how to accept defeat with COM
posure are capable of moderation and
justice when victorious. To the undaunt-
ed Democrats who stood fast by their
colors yesterday too much honor cannot
be awarded. They have been defeated,
but not dshonored. In the state, outside
of Philadelphia considering the tidal
wave of popular dissent which has swept
over the stanchest strongholds of De-
mocracy, the vote for the Democratic
candidates is surprisingly large"

Religion and Politics,

In this moment of release from the
fear of demagogic misconstruction the
time is ripe for few wholesome truths
1t has been the custom of politicians
for years to trade upon the prejudices
of class, race and creed. In demon
stration of this, we do not need to single
out any particular locality or any par
ticular party. The fact itself is too
palpable for controversy. Politics is Il
game in which all parties have each
its full quota of unprincipled game
sters, to whom no move is too despic-
able that promises temporary gain. We
do not, however, propose to abuse the
present generation of politicians. They
are the victims of a system which ex-
listed before their birth and will exist
long after they shall have died.
Neither do we entertain the hope that
abuses of centuries may be uprooted in
an hour. All that we wish for is calm
and thoughtful reading of the following
propositions:
l. OiilASS tlllu lcIlBlOI 6llOulN llOl NOd-
lesce. Politics refers to the conduct
of public temporal affairs. Religion has
reference to morals and eternity. The
| atmosphere of politics is necessarily
vitiated. The domain of real religion is
surcharged with reverence and awe. No
| question of conscience can ever be per-
manently settled by an appeal to the
| secular ballot. The life of any creed
that is fit to live does not depend upon
the election or defeat of any candidate
for public office. If the purpose of life
no ultimate difference by which secta-
rian route any honest man approaches
the presence of his Creator. If there be
in religion aught that is vital, aught
that is true, aught that is sincere, it
will not need the aid of political manip-
ulation to bring it home to the hearts
and faith of men.
| We will go step further and say
that the Protestant who encourages
political hatred of the Catholic, or vice
versa, for the sole reason that the one
is Protestant and the other a Catho-
lie Is an apostate from his religion and
an enemy to his country. The noblest
Man that ever lived-the Man who in
Christianity's eyes was none other than
God Himself-commande His fol-
lowers to Love One Another" This
did not mean to scourge one another
with the poisoned lash of creed preju-
dice. 1t was not behest to bigotry,
virulent enmity and prescription
In all the preserved record OF
Christ's sojourn upon earth there
Is not one syllable to prove
that He encouraged irreligious
bitterness and strife among those who
failed to think and vote alike.
We do not presume to say how these
truths are to be applied to particular
localities and particular campaigns
But If there be real honor and rea
manliness left among this generation
there will soon be an increased effort
on the part Of reputable Republicans
Democrats, Prohibitionists and Popu
lists alike, to discourage the growing
effort to sully the work of the Chris
tian churches by bedaubing it, from
time to time, with the filth and slime
of excited political warfare; and tC
make partisan capital out of the inc
vitable prejudices that exist among al
sects and creeds.

A LIFE LESSON.

There! little girl; don't cry!
They have broken your doll, know;
And your tea-set blue
And your playhouse, too,
Are things of the long ago;
But childish troubles will soon pass by,
There! little girl; don't cry.
There! little girl; don't cry
They have broken your slate, know;
And the glad, wild ways
Of your schoolgirl days
Are things of the long ago.
But life and love will soon come by.
There! little girl; don't cry!
There! little girl; don't cry!
They have broken your heart, l know;
And the rainbow CLEANS
OF your youthful dreams
Are things of the long ago;
But Heaven holds all for which you sigh
There! little girl; don't cry!

A Battle for Principle.

In the hour Of triumph let us be
magnanimous. Let us remember that
It was not the men against whom we
were battling, but the principles to
which their misguided faith was ce-
mented. The candidates who are sad
under the disappointment Of defeat to-
day were no doubt honest in their con-
victions or were the victims of circum-
stances. 1t must be admitted that in
local fields the candidates put up a
vigorous fight that was worthy of a
better cause. Their efforts to reach the

Gives Hope for the Future.

Philadelphia Press: "And so the delu-
sion of 1890 Is dissipated, and the unspeak-
able folly of 1892 is reDented and repudi-
ated. Two years ago the people lost their
reason. Flaring and fragrant demagog-
ism prevailed. Cant, humbug, hypocrisy
and craze dominated the hour. The fruits
of that unutterable blunder have been
eaten in a sorrow and distress unfamil-
lar to this great American nation. IN
their rude and painful awakening the peo-
pie have recovered their reason. and the
uprising with which they have spurned
and condemned Democratic imbecility
and Democratic assaults upon the indus
trial and commercial welfare of the coun-
try is one of the most imposing political
demonstrations in all history. 1t is a mis-
fortune that the people could not entirely
rectify their mistake of two years ago.
They must wait until 1896 to complete the
work But their powerful and unmls-
taxable mandate of yesterday will do
much. 1t will halt the further course of
this rulnous free trade agitation. With q
Republican house it will be impossible for
the Democratic administration to pursue
and consummate Its reckless and mis-
chlevous aims. The people have paid
dearly for their blunder of two years ago,
but their eyes are fully opened at last,
and the mighty avalanche of righteous
public feeling which swept over the coun-
try yesterday gives sure hope for the fu-
ture."

The labors of the campaign liar are
over. There is something pathetic IN
the spectacle of the worn-out mud

scapegoat and bear the burdens of mis-
take and mismanagement.

The Meaning of the slumn.


Philadelphia Times; "The Democratic
party was not in line of battle yesterday
in any of the debatable states of the
Union. 1t was dlscordant and rent by
factional feuds, dissatisfied with its lead
ers, disputlng as to party policy and
there was nothing to make the party lead
ers work together or to inspire party fol-
lowing. The singular spectacle was pre-
sented of a Democratic president with
holding his approval of the Democratic
organization and the candidates In his
own city and state, thus proclaiming to
the country that either the president has
no party or the party has no president.
A party thus demoralized from center to
circumference entered the battle without
hope, and logically emerged fromit not only
defeated but routed. When party de-
serves defeat 1t Is certain to profit by 1t,

party as 1t appeared before the people

brilliant victories in Lackawanna poll

and technical ideas of some of his ad-
visers remains to be seen. But 1t is
generally thought he will be inclined
toward temperate measures, and to give
all classes of Russians larger liberty
and freedom of belief and action than
they have heretofore enjoyed. The
leading nihilists, too, have expressed
the intention of conducting future cam
paigns upon arguments instead of dyna-
mite. They expect to hereafter agtate
society by the pressure of public opin-
ion and dispense with explosives. Time
alone can demonstrate the ability of
the intelligent revolutionists to control
the red-handed assassins that follow
in their wake. If the peaceful policy
however, can be maintained all around
the new administration may yet be the
means of improving the condition of
Russia and her people.
