CARL BROWNE, one of the Field
Marshals of the late Gen" Coxey, is
going to do terrible things-in his mind.
He dreams of being an American Gaia
line, an Anarchist Napoleon I'LL, the
Jack Cade of the United States-any-
thing you please that is dark and wick
ed, mysterious, swimming in the blood
and flames Of an overturned society,
massacred people, and holocausted
homes. Carl, here and there, calls some
man into retired corner, and, under
pledges of profound secrecy, reveals to
him a dreadful plot which he is organic
ing, and to which the. instruction of Mr..
Debs will be only play spell at recess.
The program is to start another strike at
Chicago next Summer, and when all the
Regular Army and the National Guard
are gathered there to suppress it, to let
loose his myrmidons of destruction
simultaneously at a thousand points
Carl is merely phenomenal ass, with a
highly developt mouth. He had better
attend strictly to his business of quack
medicine taking on the street corners.
If he doesn't some Police Judge, without
much humor in his composition, and who
thinks Carl is really dangerous, may set
him to breaking stone for few months
THE Virginians are in state of mind.
The Countyseat of Appomattox County
has been moved from the sleepy little
village where Lee surrendered to Grant
writing here in the present atmosphere
of Washington we had almost said
"where Grant surrendered to Lee to
the more convenient town of Nebraska,
on the Norfolk e. Western Railroad
In Virginia they rarely take the trouble
to learn the name any town has where
the County business is done, but speak
of and address their letters to the "Court-
house of the County. Consequently,
letters which should be sent to Nebraska
are received at the old-time "Appo-
mattox Courthouse" and so much
trouble has arisen that the Postoffice De
partment has decided that "Appomattox
Courthouse shall mean Nebraska, and
that the old town shall be called "Sur-
render" Against this the Virginians,
headed by Gov. OFerrall, protest.
They think that some equally appro-
pirate but less suggestive name should
be selected" but SO far have not pro-
posed an acceptable substitute. 1t is
too bad that the historic place should
lose its name, and there is no real neces-
sity for it. Why can't the Virginians
do as other people do, and remember the
name Of the town where the County
offices are, while the. old town be called
"Appomattox simply? After all, the
inconvenience is not excessive. There
are less than 10000 people in Apo
mattox County, and there is compare
lively little business in the County. 1t
