Come join the ranks of the common

And give old Uncle Sam spiel,
Tell how it makes your stomach feel
To march with Coxey's army.
They give US clothes and soap and boot
Soap and boots, soap and boots,
We trade the soap for cigaroots,
For the boys in Coxey's army.
When we get up to Washington
Wen find out how that treasurys run
And make them dizzy up the anon"
For the boys in Coxey's army.
]. S. Coxey is our scout,
Some towns they hail us with shout
While others fire US bodily out
Because we're Coxey's army.
Sometimes our luck runs fairly well,
Fairly well. fairly well.
And then again it's simply hell
For the boys in Coxey's army.
Sometimes they feed us quite enough
Of hotel scraps and all such stuff;
Of course the whole thing is a bluff
This joining Coxey's army,
Well take bath, a nice sea foam,
send Grover word we're far from home,
And want the loan of his brush and
comb,
To slick up Coxey's army.
He'll send it out for he's getting scared,
Geltiug scared, getting scared,
1t won't be long he'll be gray haired
On account of Coxey's army.
Well camp on Uncle Sans estate,
And all swing on the White House gate
Till he makes those devils legislate
For the boys in Coxey's army,

We only want what's on the square,
Call in the s'mon" from everywhere,
Give every man an equal share,
Especially Coxey's army.
If in a year we blow it in,
Blow it in, blow it in,
And big bugs get ii back again
Away from Coxey's army;
Why then we'll just reorganize,
Form into line and march the ties,
And show 'em they can't monopolize
The boys in Coxey's army.

That's "cbased" by Coxey's army
If with our scheme we have bad luck,
And find in Washington we're stuck,
Well ask Grove out to chase the duck,
Along with Coxey's army.

The Brilliant New Yorker Will Not Re-
turn to Congress-.
New YORK, Oct. 1l.-Congressman w.
Bourke Cochran will not be candidate
for denomination. He has announced his
determination to Mayor Gilroy and other
friends, assigning as a reason the neces-
sity of closer attention to his private
business affairs. Mr.. Cochran said some
months ago that he would not be can
didate for re- election unless he was op-
posed inside of party lines. At that time
Mr.. Croker was in charge of Tammany
hall and Mr.. Cochran was marked with
the "Grand Taboo" Now Mr.. Croker is
out and Mr.. Cochran is as close to the
center of power as he could we'll be, and
there is no opposition to his renomina-
ton even among the ti-Tammany
democrats, and as the district is safely
democratic anyway, he has decided to
decline.

STATES SAILOR BOYS
Expect to Indulge in a Naval Race
Between Two of the Crack
Vessels.
Report That the Cruisers Raleigh and
Cincinnati Will Be the
Contestants.

New YORK, Oct. IA rumor is circu.
lated in the navy yard that the navy de.
partment intended to order the new
cruiser Raleigh north from Hampton
Roads to race its sister ship, the cruiser
Cincinnati over a measured course in
Long Island sound. The officers and
men OF the Cincinnati, which is lying in
port, had all their sporting blood aroused
and they declared their ship was the
fastest and that they could win the race
with ease.
Additional interest is lent to the pro-
posed race by the fact that the two ships
are exactly similar in construction and
tonnage, and both are now awaiting the
orders of the secretary of the navy to 90
on their official trial trips to show what
speed they can make.
According to the report circulated
about the navy yard the race would take
place on the same measured course be-
tween Stratford shoals and Horizons
point over which the torpedo boat Erics-
son is to be speeded next week. The
Cincinnati has beeL ordered to Horizons
Point to act as one of the stake boats at
the Ericssons trial.
The Cincinnati was built at the Brook
lyn navy yard and the Raleigh at the
Norfolk yard. Both are the product Of
navy yard workmen's skill. There is no
contract work on them.
The sailors on the Cincinnati have &C.
lected as the motto for their ship "Swift
and Ready" They are willing to defend
it in contest with anything in their
class afoat. From captain down to the
jack of the dust there is feeling of con-
fdence that the Cincinnati would win in
a race.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 11.-One
year ago Carroll d. Wright, commits.
sioner OF labor, assumed charge Of the
Census bureau. At that time he OK.
pressed to the secretary of the interior
the belief that the work of preparing all
the copy and getting it into the hands
of the printer could be completed within
the calendar year of 1894, and at this
time he sees no reason to change the
opinion he gave then. The editors and
division chiefs are up with their work
and can complete it easily as soon as all
the copy is prepared. There are now
about 400 employees in the bureau and
the service of many Of these will not be
needed after the first of the year.
The whole census will make twenty
five volumes, or about 1900 pages. or
these $4,000 pages there are now plated
and completed little less than 14OOO,
and the copy is ready for all but about
1000 pages. OF the 14,OOO pages referred
to half has been prepared during the
past year. While it will take some time
to print and put in circulation the great
volumes that will comprise this census
when completed, the facts have been
disseminated in the shape of bulletins
that have been sent out as the work
has progressed, so that as far as the net
results are concerned, the people have
been informed. These bulletins have
made something like 5000 pages.

Healy Alleged to BE Intriguing Against

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE lull in the fac.
tional strife in the Irish party is merely
cloak to active internal intrigues. The
Freeman's Journal keeps up its attac ks
upon L. M. Healy, who is credited with
collecting evidence to prove that the Nc
Carthyites have repeatedly received
financial assistance from the English
liberals. Mr.. Healys efforts are directed
to destroy the influence of Thomas Sex

for himself the leadership of the party
on the retirement of Justin Mccarthy.
The unity Of the party rests upon Mr..
McCarty, whom all sections respect, and
it is therefore more than ever unlikely

How the British seaiers Managed to
Make q Great Haul.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE
Indian sealing schooners Felitz Deehkts
and Columbia have returned here from
Behring Sea. The Deehkts took 1,O33
seals, and the Columbia 4O5. The poor
catch of the latter is attributed to the
fact that she went too far north. acting
on the advice of one Of the patrol officers,
who asserted that the schooners would
lind seals in the higher latitude in
enormous herds. Instead, few were
found, and the Indians freely assert that
they we're sent on wild goose chase for
the purpose of giving the white sealers
better chance.
The Indians ascribe the enormous
catch of the British schooners TO the
grounding of the United States war ship
Adams. She went ashore in dense fog
and was compelled to fire several hun
dred signal shots from her big guns be-
fore the Yorktown heard and came to
her assistance. The firing scared the
seals from the rockeries and the schoon.
ers which happened to be near reaped
harvest. One Victoria schooner took
1000 in less than half day. The Alaska
commercial company which leases the
islands, did not take nearly as many
seals as the contract with the govern
ment calls for, in consequence of the
seals leaving the islands, and it is threat
ening to sue the government for heavy
lamages.
