AGAINST A LARGER ARMY,
General Master Workman Sovereign
10 the knights of Labor.

10 the knights of Labor.
General Master Workman Sovereign de-
hvered his annual address to the Knights
or Labor at New Orleans yesterday He
attributed the decrease in the membership
of the order to the depression in business
circles, prevalent bankruptcy low wages
and enforced idleness of the laboring class
es He stated that he had travelled 35l54
miles since his stewardship, and had or
ganzed eleven new assemblies, and made
ninety-seven public addresses, and review
ed his action Of last January. when he
filed a bill in the District Court Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, setting forth special
grievances of his order, and protesting
against the issuance of bonds by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. He characterized
the writ of injunction from the United
States circuit court for the eastern dis
trict of Wisconsin as ''despotic" injunc-
ton.
Referring to the American Railway
Union utilization, he advised a consolida-
ton with this as well with all other
labor organizations. His resume of the
Pullman strike terminated In a severe crit
icism OF Maj. Gen. John NJ. Schofeld and
the recommendations of that officer for an
increase of the army, together with the
action of "Chicago's millionaire arstoc-
racy. who were permitted to present a
stand OF colors to the fifteenth Infantry"
WHICH, ne Salu, was an indlcauon OF an
uneasy desire to subjugate labor through
the military powers of the nation" He
urged that the assembly take strong
grounds against an increase of the mill
tary forces of the nation. and that they
advocate a decrease in the regular army,
and the abolition of the state militia, for
from them are coming to the surface the
sentiments OF a military despotism."
At the close of the address the report
OF the general executive board was pre-
scented and referred to the several COM
mittees. 1t was a voluminous affair. but
treated of much that was of interest to
the delegates. They adjourned to meet
again at . am. today.

CHRYSANTHEMUM Fad.
They Were Cultivated in Japan md
China Ages Ago.

They Were Cultivated I'm Japan md
China Ages Ago.
From the Chicago Herald.
The cultivation of chrysanthemums had
grown into an art in China and Japan
as long ago as when the Roman empire
was in it's full glory, and it has long been
the national flower of the Japanese. But
only a little more than a century ago did
cultivators in England and Europe become
acquainted with 1t. Later, American
florists came to prize it. Even now it is
not cultivated in gardens, as 1t should be.
White frosts do not injure the plant, and
where Indian corn will fully mature the
chrysanthemum will give abundant bloom
in the autumn, when other Towering plants
are scarce.
The seed should be sown either in hot
bed or I'm shallow boxes In the house,
thence prcked out two Inches apart in
good compost in the beG or in other boxes
in the window, and again tranSplanted
four inches apart, and from thence to the
garden late in May or early In June In
rich soil. Or, II transferred into eight-inch
pots plunged into the ground, and pro-
tected under the pots with a layer of coal
cinders to prevent earth worms from
tering, they may be transferred to the
house at the time Of frost, where they will
continue to bloom. But they must be wat
cred regularly and copiously during
growth else there would be a failure.
1t Is not fifteen years since the chrysan-
themum became a florists flower and IT
was not until 1883 that the first exclusively
chrysanthemum show was given in Horti-
cultural Hail. Philadelphia. Then the west
took up this regal flower. Cincinnati, In
danapolis. Detroit st. Louis and other
large cities held exhibitions. The Chicago
Horticultural Society soon became enthu-
slastc and it's annual shows eliminated
in 1893 in a national exhibition at the Art
building the lake front by the most eel
ebrated growers of the United States
There have been no backward steps taken
this year by this society.

THE A. r.. O. AT EMPORIA.
Objection to Its Endorsement of Lewe1I-
ing by Some Members.

Objection to Its Endorsement of LeweI1-
Ing by Some Members.
At meeting of the local lodge of the
American Railway Union at Emporia
Saturday evening, a set of resolutions
were passed expressing sympathy with
the industrialists, cOndemning the action
of the government officials at Washing
ton and the authorities at Fort Leaven-
worth for 'imprisoning the men and
holding them in bondage without grant
ing them the right of a speedy and i'm
partial trial which the blacklist criminal
who ever trod American soil is entitled
to and obtains"
Resolutions endorsing the action of
Governor Lewelling were passed and the
Washington affair was thus referred to:
~When we see the dastardly attempt to
forever crush this sentiment of freedom
at the nations capital, where the rulers
of this country have gone to be heard by
their servants, and where they, instead
of being heard, were imprisoned and
prosecuted for the lawful crime of tread
ing upon the grass rightfully owned by
them, it is verify time for each and every
one who has any love for lis country to
at once arise and go to work preserving
that valuable gift, Freedom for which
our fathers died.
1t has since developed, however, that
a large number of members were absent
from the meeting, and they feel that an
attempt is being made to use the organi-
zation as Populist machine n NJ. Hin
shaw, who was made a mem Der of the
state board of charities by Lewelling,
was chairman of the committee that re-
ported the obnoxious resolutions. One
member said that he would withd raw
from the order if it was to be made a
Populist adjunct and that he knew a
mum Der of others who would follow him.
The American Railway Union is
strictly non-pOlitlcal organization.

miners.
kilograms were sent to the governors
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, West

to form board whose duties shall be a
peaceable and equitable solution of the

Favorable responses were received
from Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania;

and jackson of Iowa. All expressed
their willingness to serve on such a

Command.

Command.
Captain III. H. Artz, of Topeka's con-
tribution to the industrial army, was pre-
sented with a handsomely engraved
badge last night at the Populist league
rooms. G. Q. Clemens made the presen-
tation speech on behalf of Frank Rad
ford, the donor. He said: "This badge
was made by a man who is capable of
filling any place in the halls of con-
gress. The workmen of this city
should be proud of such a man. and in
their behalf L hope Captain Artz will
wear this badge"
The engraving on the badge is: "H. H.
Artz, Captain Co. A, Industrial Army,
Topeka, Kansas"
Captain Artz in replying said: II ac-
cept this beautiful badge on behalf of
Company A and promise you that we
will take this down to Washington with
out particle of stigma attached to it.
But if there is attack on
the boys this badge will be
found in the thickest of the
have a captain who did his fighting in
the rear"
Captain Artz said that the men who
laughed at the army "hadn't brains
enough to grease a gimlet"
Artz reported that $51.67 had been col
lected and asked how many of the COM
pany were in favor of walking and saving
the money to buy tents. Every man
in the company stood up. "Well," said
the captain, ''then we will walk. OF
course / am willing to walk, for ! am
going to take my bicycle, but | have
notion to send that down on the train
and walk with you, boys.
"You have no one to object to your
going" he continued, ''and when you

Bowed be the head and soft the tread

The fragrant flowers that speak OF hours
When men were brave and true;
That bring again the martial strain.
Long lines OF volunteers.
The sad farewell no tongue can tell
A mothers silent tears.
Here lie the brave. who died to save
The stars and stripes SO dear.
Far from all foes, in sweet repOse,
Where honest hearts draw near.
They hear no more the lannon's roar,
Nor drum. nor bugle's call.
Ali those that fell. He knOWeth well
Who notes the sparfows fan.
No drawer men than these, ken.
Fer met the enemy
At Marathon, or looked upon
Death at ThermOpylR:
To do or dare, no matter where,
Such was their simple creed;
They never quaIled, and never failed
It'll glory crowned each deed.
One flag now waves DER fallen braves,
Its honor none dispute,
Each peaceful breeze from foreign seas
Brings homage and Salnte:
And while above the homes we love
That flag triumphant SWellS.

Unfaded flowers of fame,
To thee we plight, with honor bright,

And with each flower. is twined this hour.
A nations praise for aye.

Ger distant battie-nelds,
And silv'ry dew DER Gray and Blue

So we, today. on Blue and Gray

S. M. Scott was next called "Mr
Coxey has done more with his little
army" he said, sthan a million men
could have done by sending their names
to congress. This movement has done
more to convince the doubling Thomases
that something is wrong than anything
else. He closed by telling the men TO
vote the men out who are in congress
and others in, but he didn't add that he
would like to see them send s. III. Scott
to take one of the places.
Noah Allen next addressed the COM
pany. He said he was satisfied that sthe
reason such a movement was necessary
was because that the masses had been
derelict in their duty. Remember when
you leave Kansas soil that the hearts of
Kansas people are with you"
Frank Forrest also spoke.
A collection was taken up, which
amounted to So. 10, and after Artz had
explained the discipline under which
the men would be governed, they were

swell, it was through the careIessness
of the Peabody section gang. A car load
of oak ties had been dumped this side of
there and the section men pottered
around among them until they felt that
they had put in a dollars worth of time
and then they hastily suspended work,
pass. They fundamentally left eight or
ten of the heavy ties on the track, right
square on the road bed.

it may go hard with him just the same.
The engineer was making a run for the

if he had tried, SO when he saw the ties
ahead of him, he gave her another otch

Captain" Fl. III. Artz and the To peka
company of the industrial army will
linger in Topeka one day more. Gen
eral Sanders at Leavenworth is not yet
ready for them and last night late he
sent Artz this telegram:
"Don't come in the morning. Wait
until we are ready to leave VIII let you
know in time"
The men had intended until after sup
per last night to take the L., L. q s. w.
train from the Santa Fe depot at 1880 this
morning but the treasurer reported that
there was only $51.67 on hand. This
would not quite pay for the transporta-
ton, SO the men agreed that this sum
should be appropriated towards buying
tents and camp utensils, and the trip to
Leavenworth should be made on 1901.
1t is the present plan of Captain
Artz to start out on foot for
Lawrence about Z 30 tomorrow morning.
He will telegraph the mayor of Law
renee to shave supper ready" The men
will camp over night at the Athens OF
Kansas and then strike out early Friday
morning for LeavenwOrth, SO miles away.
Artz says there are plenty OF places to
camp there besides the reservation, and
if they can't find better place he has
friend who will let them stay in his back
yard.
This morning two members of Artz's
army dropped out" One of them is the
drummer, E. A Byers, and the other is
George Lilies. One of them is "expect-
ing his sister," and the other admitted
that his courage failed him. This made
Commander Artz a trife indignant and
he formed the men up in line and
said to them, s'If any of you
feel homesick now is the time to fall out.
You can drop out now and there are
plenty more who want to take your
place But if any of you back out after
we get to Lawrence we will organize
kangaroo court in ten minutes. We will
drum you out of camp in no time and we
have drummer and fifer for that pur-
pose. We don't want any homesick peo-
pie along"
The Army's Banner.
When the army marches out from To-
peka it will be under an appropriate
banner. This orifiamme is in process of
construction at the hands of number OF
women sympathizers of the Coxey move
ment The detail of the banner IS not
known to Mr.. Artz. Today the men are
wearing blue badges five inches long and
two inches wide, as follows:

THE EXCURSION ALL RIGHT.
The Santa Fe Employees VIII Soon Decide
Their Picnic.

The Santa Fe Employees VIII Soon Decide
Their Picnic.
The matter of the Santa Fe shops ex-
cursion has suddenly assumed new face
and the picnic will now materialize.
There was a goodly attendance at the
meeting at Trades Assembly hall to dis
cuss it last evening and those
present were gratified to hear the
report of the committee appointed
Saturday, to the effect that
Mr.. Frey had kindly agreed to reduce
the excursion rate to fifty cents for the
round trip to either Leavenworth, OF
tawa or Kansas City and the same to St.
Joseph provided the men themselves
paid the bridge toll at Atchison of 10, Is
or 25 cents whichever it might be.
A committee of two was appointed
to confer with the shop men
and find out which place they
preferred to visit and another
meeting will be held at the hall Friday
evening at which the final arrangements
will be completed. 1t is very probable
now that the excursion will take place
as originally intended on Saturday, June
9th, and will go to either Kansas City or
St. Joseph. The men feel much better
about their excursion today.
