GEORGIA AMAZES THEM.

Populists at the Capital Predict That They
Will Have Fifty Members In the Next
House.
The result in Georgia engages atten-
tion. Both republicans and democrats
attest alarm. 1t has upset calculation
and swept prophecy from its feet. If
the same violent growth of populism
apparent in the returns from Georgia
is found in Iowa, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, and republican strongholds
of the northwest, and there are reasons
to believe the condition exists, the re-
publicans will be shivered and shaken
in all their hopes.
Georgia, which in enterprise and dol
lar-making is the New England of the
south, was looked on by both demo-
Gratis and republicans as the least like
ly of all the southern commonwealths
to give way or even waver before the
third party. The late result, which
leaves the democrats not over $1,000
majority where $4,000 was expected, is,
therefore, in its sort shock and has
both at Faulkner's and Babcock's head
quarters in state of stampede.
The democrats generally-albeit not
for publication-declare that the
trouble in Georgia, while in part tariff,
and in part finance, was mainly Cleve-
land. The party everywhere is sick
and worn out with his goldisms, his
bondisms, and his pharisaical eastern
mugwumpery.
As consequence of the result in
Georgia neither democrat nor repub-
lican is able to-day to pierce the future
little bit. They have awakened to
the beauty of the injunction, Stuff
cient unto the day is the evil thereof"
and cannot be lured into prognostica-
tions of any sort, local or general.
The populists are as hilarious as an
outfit of Utes at a white dog bake.
They are shooting all sorts of arrows
in the air and promising as high as
fifty populists in the house of the
Fifty-fourth congress. But whatever
there may be, the popuhsts with thirty
or even fifteen would hold the balance
of power. And this contingency is
nightly feared by both Faulkner's and
Babcock's crowds. 1t is a condition
not easily explained but one which ex-
lists, that both the democrats and re-
publicans of the narrow sort found in
this eastern seaboard country would
rather the other would succeed than
that the populists should attain bellig-
erent and respectable stature as party.
Ola foes, like old friends, are dearest,
and both of the old parties almost learn
to love each other in the intensity of
their hatred for the populists.-Cor.

when the train leaves Fort Smith, for the Pull
man conductor to turn the car over to the porter,
and lie down and rest until Wagner is reached.
The undrcssed condition in which the man was
found, and the point at which the ball entered,
go to show that he was lying down when the
murderous shot was fred-and so close to his
head was the pistol that his forehead was
powder burnt Conductor Brown was married
man, his home being at Kansas City. to which
place his body was shipped
LATER-The porter of the sleeper of which
Brown had charge at the time Of his death has
been arrested on suspicion of being the muir
derer. 1t has been customary for the conductor
TO take a berth and sleep after leaving Fort
Smith at CLOCK. and it has been part of the
porter's duties to awaken him just before the
train arrives at Wagner, and the fact that he
failed to report his absence Monday morning
was largely the cause of his arrest. Conductor
Martin, in charge of the train, states hat as he
was leaving Mckay. at eight minutes after
o o'clock, he heard three shots fred but paid no
attention to them. He also states that blood
was found on the platform of the sleeping car.

PITTsBURG, April 5.-The commonweal
formed in line and made an attempt to
march to Pittsburg, where "a large meet
ing was to be held on the Ionongahela
wharf The Pittsburg and Allegheny po-
lice authorities put their veto on this move,
and the veterans were compelled to return
to their barracks. notwithstanding the
absence of the army the meeting was held
on the wharf as announced An immense
crowd had gathered, the lowest estimates
placing the number between $4,000 and 20,-
600 people Coxey and Browne made their
customary speeches, varying little from
former efforts.
PITTsBURG, April 6.-Coxey's army, hav-
ing rested for two days, started out brlskiy
for Washington from here. The procession
passed over the main thoroughfares IN
Pittsburg, which were thronged with
thousands of spectators. AT Homestead
an escort of 500 met the commonweaL and
headed by the Homestead steel works band
they paraded the principal streets on tne
way to the circus grounds, where dinner
was served and camp pitched. Later
meeting was held, which was attended by
several thousand people. Previous to the
arrival of the army Burgess McWhinney
swore in 90 deputies, who will serve until
the soldiers leave town.
