STUDENT ON CoxEY.

At a recent meeting of the High
School Literary Society Master Jamie
S. Beecher was called upon for some
oral remarks on Coxey's army; where
it originated, its purpose and it's pres
ent condition. The synopsis of the
remarks are as follows:
On March 25th, Easter Sunday, there
started from Massiloiu, Ohio, body of men,
or perhaps tramps would describe them bet
ter, with the avowed purpose of marching
to Washington, and remaining in that city
until congress passed two bills, one for the
benefit of the unemployed, of whom there
are great number, the other for the benefit
of the people in general.
The leaders of this great commercial army,
Jacob S. Coxey and Carl Browne, are men
who it would not be supposed would have the
good of the community at heart. Mr.. Coxey
owns valuable stone quarry, keeps fast
horses and is well known in the sporting cir
Gle of Pittsburg. Browne is large, tough,
Out-spoken man, and makes an admirable
leader of this "gang of hoboes.'' He was a
leading spirit in the Lake Front riot in Chi
| cagO, last year.
Coxeys two pet bills are: LIST, to have Con-
gress appropriate S5OO,OOO,OOO in irredeem-
able paper money, for the improvement of
the public highways the other, that Congress
should extend the right to municipalities to
send their bonds to Washington and get a
government loan on them, without Interest,
and to be repaid at the ;rate of per cent.
annually.
After long and tedious march of over a
month, the army reached Washington.
At present the army is encamped near the
capital grounds, faring very poorly.
The leaders have already been under
arrest, and the army has as yet done
nothing towards compelling Congress to pass
it's bills. Many other armies have now
taken the field with Washington as their OBJ
jective point, and what to do with these idle
lawless men is still question to be solved The
motto of this the first, and it is to be hoped
the last, uprising of this kind is, Peace on
| earth, good will toward men, but death to
| interest on bonds"

About the worst stain on St. Pauls
good name is that of having elected
Ed. L. Murphy, the notorious St. Peter
street dive keeper, to position in the
city council. In his dive, with it's box
stalls, etc. crime has run riot for years,
and there more girls and boys have
probably been ruined than in any 9th

indeed, with such men as Murphy,

FLANDRAUT FOLLOW.

The GAZETTE takes pleasure in an
nouncing that it has perfected ar
engagements with Hon. Charles E.
Flandrau, of St. Paul, one of the most
eminent baristers of the State, for a
continuation of the "reminiscences of
the early history of this section of the
country, which will begin in this pa
per next week, and from the pen of
Col. Samuel McPhail. The latter's
history will run four or FIVE weeks, af-
ter which Judge Flandrau's articles
will appear.
Judge Flandrau was one of the first
white men in this section of the coun-
try. He took prominent part in the
Indian wars, and in effecting treaties
with the tribes, on behalf of the gov
eminent. 1t was he who caused to be
constructed the now defunct govern
ment mill at the falls of this city, and
personally superintendent the build
ing. To say that these papers by Col
McPhail and Judge Flandrau will be
more than usually interesting would
be putting it mildly. All rights will
be reserved.
