New Coxey.

Ed. Register--Please publish the fol-
lowing:
Situated in the roughs of the West
End, is a mansion lately known as
New Coxey's Fort" Within this fort
dwells small band known as Coxey's
troops. Travellers passing can hear
the shouts of the band and see Coxey,
drilling his followers in the way of un-
truthfulness.
A short time ago Coxey's troops
made a raid on the school which is but
ing no prospect of gains, soon returned
to the fort and related their disap-
pointment. This aroused Coxey, and
soon the school was astonished by his
appearance. Before the school he
stood with teeth gathering and trem-
bling from head to foot. Still trem-
bling, he is seated without a word. and
awaits the dismissing of the school.
He is asked to speak. Nothing to say.
Dismissedi scholars and teacher pass
out. He calls one scholar aside but
receives no satisfaction.
A few days later we see Coxey mount
ed on his white horse on his way to
court. He goes before the Grand Jury
and swears that his troops have been
cruelty treated by the school. Soon
his troops are seen on their way to
court to testify also. They enter
and swear. Now ia the time for the
raid on the treasury. They march In
and receive large sum for the afore-
said swearing. With the money they
buy their winter supply of clothes.
Coxey Is now satisfied, and returns to
his fort and relates the trueness of his
troops. Shall we say hurrah for Cox
ey? The school says not:

ity as the most precious metal and
value measure standard.

II we can buy to-day everywhere as
much of any staple article for an ounce
Of silver as we could IN 1873, then can
not see how silver is demonetized;t that
is, how minted silver lost it's capacity
in value measure, equal with gold, and
it never will lose this capacity
everyone everywhere will gladly take
it, but only as long as Uncle Sam is
able to exchange on demand any
amount presented to him for gold. As
soon as his ability is doubted, the mint
ed silver depreciates from its stamped
face to it's metal weight value-frst in
commerce with the other nations,
then in our own eountry-and the
natural consequences of such a state in
money matters have limited at.
Maybe it is only theoretic view =;
practical it may be different. At any
rate, silver money will never be re-
fused by A DEMOCRAT.

TO MAKE CONTRACTORS HONEST.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S, 1S9+--One of the
bills which the House disposed of yesterday,
by accepting the Senate amendments thereto,
was that which requires contractors for the
construction of public buildings to give
bonds for the payment for labor and
material furnished. Mr. Heard, of Missouri,
who ehampioned this measure, said of it:-
1T viii check a practice among some of the
contractors which, if left undisturbed,
would have grown into large proportions
and resulted in great loss to dealers in build
ing materials and laborers These contrac-
tors. when ii bailding was TO be erected,
would underoid the local contractors in a
town where the building was to be con-
structed, and succeeding in getting the CON
tract by that means would, after complex
ing the job leave the town without paying
their bills. This occurred in town in my
own state, and also in town in Texas in
one case the local dealers losing as much as
$4,000 This bill viii require contractors
TO execute satisfactory bonds that they will
pay for all material and labor furnished on
their contracts

Married Two Women and Made HIS
First Wife Bi@imist.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. s. 1S94-Hudson
Dickerman, arrested in New York yester-
day for bigamy, was married on the 9Th

city, the lady at that time being at the
head of the fur department of the milin-
cry establishment of e. ]. Graves, and
Dickerman a travelling salesman for Il
New York house. The wedding was a
very swell affair, and hundreds of illvi-
tations were issued. Things ran along
smoothly for time, and after Dicker-'
man had succeeded in borrowing 3sI the
money he could from his wife and HIS
mother-in-laW, amounting in all to sew
eral hundred dollars, the discovery was
made that he had another wife living
and he was indicted for the offence at the
last October term of Court. He then
disappeared and the officers have been
on the outlook for him ever since. Wife
No. 2 secured a divorce at the same time
and is now living with her mother at
the corner of Eighteenth street and Wa
bash avenue. Chicago, being at the head
of the department store of Marshall
Field.
1t is stated that wife No. 1 was induced
by Dickerman to believe that he had Sc
cured divorce from her somewhere out
West, and on the strength of this she
married Harry Van Zant, of Elizabeth,
n. j., where they now reside.

THAT BIG COUNTERFEIT PLANT.
Discovery of Presses-WonderfuI
Good Work.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 1S94.-Additional
developments in the great counterfeit
ing case will form the subject matter of
a supplementary story to be given out
this afternoon late, in the rooms of the
Secret Service Bureau in the Poctoftice
Building by Chief Hazen and Mr.. For
sythe. 1t promises to be as dramatic
and thrilling in it's detail as the original
story given out Monday
Among the new features is the un-
earthing of the concealed presses for
which the special Secret Service Officers
detailed ON the case at Bethel, Conn,
have been looking with most unremittlng
anxiety ever since the discovery of the
counterfeit plates and other counter
feiting parapharnalia hidden in the house
and barn of Lorenzo Hoyt at Bethel,
and followed by the arrest OF Lorenzo
and his brother Russell B. Hoyt, Samuel
Massey and James w. Murphy. Rollers,
purtenances of the presses have also
been found. The entire tell-tale find Is
now in the Office of Mr.. ForSythe ana
no one is permitted to see them out
side of the officials.
Since the find experts have been bus-
ily engaged examining the plates and
naper found at Bethel The unanim-
ous verdict is that some remarkably skill
led artisans have been putting In thelr
finest work in getting up these plates.
In minute elaboration and nicely OF hnlSn
they are far ahead of any counterfeit
nlafes that have ever come under the IN
spection of the Secret Service Depart
nent 1t is the opinion of most OF tpe
experts that they have been made in
England.
1t is limited very strongly thar there
will be other arrests
