The Coxey trial in Washington is at
once Il warning farce and n pathetic
tragedy. The idea of consuming days
in trying II man on the charge of get
ting on the grass of the Capi'ol
grounds is absurd. The imagination
Of Shakespeare did not conceive n
constabulary Justice more utterly des-
titute Of judicial common sense. The
only thing that keeps Miller from be-
ing synonym for Dosberry is that
the Washington justice of the peace
has no monopoly of the name. The
Capitol police made themselves ri
diculous by their misbehavior. but
this man Miller is national laughing
stock. 1t is all very we'll to protect
park turf from being trodden into
BROWNIES. but the idea of making
such ado over Il little trespass of that
kind, especially when the policemen
were charging about like headless
hens. is absurd to the last degree.
Mr.. Coxey was asked his business.
and after giving his ordinary occupa-
ton he added that he was just now a
lobbyist trying to get measure
through Congress for the relief of the
unemployed. No one can accuse him
of having any personal interest in the
measure. He wants non-interes:-bear-
ing bonds issued by the Government,
and the proceeds used in making good
roads. This is about AS impracticable
suggestion as could we'll he conceived
but SO urgent is the demand for relief
that almost anything would be better
than the do-no.hing policy of the rartv
in power. In explanation of the COM

duct of the army as It marched:
