WHERE WILL 1T ENDf

Coxeyism is one of the fruits of Bellamy-
ism, or Christian socialism, as it is called,
taken up and dignified by the new class of
economists and sociologists hailing from
Johns Hopkins, though the Populsts are
mainly responsible for it's growth. These
professors declare that the railroads should
be owned and run by the government. The
Coxeyites put the theory into practical op-
GRAFTON by seizing trains by force. They
declare for "a better distribution of wealth."
but give no processes. The Coxeyites ac-
cept the heresy and give it exemplification
by breaking into storehouses. They preach
the right to employment" and thereat the
Coxeyites start to Washington to demand
IT of the government.
The American people are watching the
movements of the Coxey people. They are
silent now for the most part, but that does
not mean that they are Indifferent. They
are amazed to see bands of men seize rail-
road transportation and use II against the
protests of the owners. 1t is a lawlessness
for which they are not prepared. Doubtless
thousands are asking themselves If the
men who seize railroads will content them
selves Herewith If bands of men are per-
mitted to steal trains, will they stop when
they want food, raiment or money? If rail-
roads are seized the ground that they
belong to the people, why may not stores

Tended on the ground that they are giving

as they want upon the claim of the in

employment they will supply themselves
with the things which employment VIII af-

upon continuing the present period of half
employment, is anyone so wise to be

The recent discovery of a conspiracy to
hang the jury in the national bank case
now pending in the federal court calls at
tention to a weak point in the jury system.
Many conservative lawyers are of opinion
that the verdict Of a jury should rest upon
the finding of three-fourths Of its members.
while some even go so far as to hold that
majority should render verdict. Thou
sands Of juries have been hung by one man,
and no doubt in some cases this has been
the result of improper if not corrupt influ-
ence. The fact that one man may defeat
a verdict is almost premium on corrup-
tion, whereas If three-fourths of a jury
could render a verdict there would be no
such temptation.

to be appropriated to the employment Of the
idle citizens Of the District in the construc-
ton and management of such public works
as Congress may from time TO time direct.
The significant feature of the bill, as of
others introduced by Populist Senators, is
the distinct advance towards communism,
or confiscating the property of the rich and
dividing II among the poor. Such legisla-
ton would place ban upon thrift and en-
terprise and a reward upon idleness and
improvidence. 1t is not a healthy sign Of

lNINIUs OF PUBLIC OFFENsEs.

The recent proposition Of a juror and his
accomplice to hang jury for a valuable
consideration startles the public because
it reveals most deplorable condition of
what may be called public morals. They
are men who have lived in an Indiana COM
munity all their lives. and who are prob
ably regarded as average men by those
among whom they live. And yet they de-
liberately conspire to defeat the ends Of
justice, involving perjury on the part of
one of them and disclosing a grade of de-
pravity that is repulsive. In ordinary
affairs between man and man they may
have been esteemed as honest But, re-
pulsive as is this crime, how many degrees
worse is it than the offenses of others
which attract little. attention, or which have
become so frequent that they are almost
expected? 1t is often the case in this State
that men seek public position, and on get
ting it begin at once to scheme to make
the most out of it regardless Of methods.
