Our Republican contemporaries
cannot befog the minds of common
sense people by the fiimsy charge
that the "hard times" and troubles
and strikes and riotings, low prices
of farm products, Coxeyism, etc,
etc, are due to the Democratic ac-
cession to power. All these woes
are the elimination of Republican
class legislation and misrule of
thirty years. Republican editors
and orators are perfectly aware of
this outcome of their pernicious
policy, but the charge aforesaid is
ga good enough Morgan until after
the election" they think, and they
play it for all it is worth-a refiec-
ton on the intelligence of their
own followers.-Kdn. Val. Dem.

outslkirts OF Washington. They Are Re-
ported to BE Suffering Two Long

WAsHNoToS, June 5.-The band of
deluded Coxeyites, entrenched IN the
two encampments at Highlands and
Bladensburg, on the outskirts of WASH
ington, are reported to be suffering for
the common necessaries of life. and the
authorities of the city of Washington,
who took stern measures for the repres-
sion of the movement when it seemed
likely 1t might become a public menace,
are now humSnely considering what
they can do for their relief from actual
physical suffering and starvation.
In the Coxey camp at Highlands there
Is nothing but bread and water. The
condition of the camp of the Calvin
army at Blandenburg is not much bet
ter. By going to the residents of the
immediate community some of them
have had their hunger asSuaged tempor-
arily, but the majority of the $50 men
are not getting sufficient food. to sustain
life for any considerable period of time.
George 10. Ward, who ranks next to
Calvin, called at the Office of tie district
comm .ssioners and asked permission to
solicit supplies from the business men of
the district to last them I'LL they can
leave the city.
Commissioner Ross called meeting
of his colleagues, and gave Ward hear
ing. Ward explained that the men were
suffering for want of food. He said he
knew they had come here without any
invitation from the people of the district,
and that proper precautions should have
been taken TO see that food was on hand;
they had expected food from the west.
He says they will leave by the first of
this week, but must have something to
eat at once or starve. In rpeaking of
the matter afterward Commissioners
Ross said that, however much he might
condemn the delusion that had worked
to bring the men here, he meant to do
what he could to give them relief till
they can get away, and that. he hoped
people would respond to the appeal for
their relief.

Sg. LOUIS, June 5.-Passenger train
No. . of the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
which left here at $3.50 Monday night,
was derailed at Swiss Junction, II miles
south of here at 9:45. The wreck was
due to the dastardly work of a gang of
scoundrels whose evident purpose was
robbery. a rail had been torn loose and
removed from the ties. The train was
running at high rate of speed when it
struck the spot. The engine was thrown
down a 25-foot embanlnent.
The baggage and expresscar was
broken in pieces. Robert Collins, the
fireman, was crushed to death ON his
locomotive. Engineer Robert Ryan was
severely injured. a wrecking train,
with physicians. left at 9:45 p. m. from
East st. Louis, and soon cleared the
tracks. The police arrested Richard
Nagel of this clty on suspicion of Saus-

All the closed factories, all the
wage reductions, all the souphouse
beIefaction, all the clamor of the
unemployed that has for the last
year distracted and distressed the
people of the United States, have
followed as the result of the work
ing of Republican policies. What
ever ameliora6on in financial pres
sure or betterment in industrial
prospects may have been experience
ed has been in consequence of the
abandonment of Republican expert
ment and the clipping of the wings
of Republican extravaganza. Dem
ocrat reforms cannot be justly con-
demned before they shall have been
tried The blind and unreason-
ing condemnation which vents itself
upon those whose immediate duty
it is to execute bad laws, rather
than upon the makers of bad laws
whom the people have driven ont OF
power, is not unusual,Sbu it is none
the less unjust. The tree must be
judged by its fruits.

The fruits of McKinleyism and
Sherman's panic are still develo-

publican editors would like to hold
the Democratic congress responsible
for not having remedied these evils
before this. The struggle to cut
loose from the trusts and combines
that have controlled the Legislation

The speech of Eustice Gibson,
Esq, at Wayne C. H., May 21st, in
which he went out of his way in
the interest of Judge McCluer, to
assail Mr.. Capehart, will not add
strength to the candidacy of Judge
McCluer. Not only did he publicly
insult Mr.. Capehart, but he also in
suited the Populists present. TIE
Wayne Ne,cs is commenting on
Capt. Gibson's speech says:
"Capt. Gibson took the stand to
address the people in the interest
of Judge McCluer, for Congress.
Captain Gibson is very Jealous in
his advocacy of Judge McCluer and
equally as strong against Mr.. Cape
hart. In his indirect attacks upon
Mr.. Capehart, and the Populists he
ruffied a number of the Alliance
people, many of whom withdrew.
The Captain thinks that it is the
highest presumption in Mr.. Cape
hart to ask for the third nomination
and yet the Captain made the Sec
ond attempt to get the third nom
ination himself"

VIOLENCE IN MARYLAND.
Strikers, 500 In Number. Drive the Men
out Near Cumberland.


BALTIMORE, June 5.-Strikers, about
500 in number, made descent upon the
Hoffman mines in the Georges creek re-
gion, near Cumberland, owned by the
Consolidated Coal company, Tuesday,
and drove the men at work out. The
work1nen at first were disposed to offer
resistance, but seeing that they We're
outnumbered, they withdrew. The mob
threatened that if they returned to work
while the strike continued they would
fare badly.
The mob then marched TO the other
mines of the Consolidated Co1 COM
pdny and made demand upon the
miners to quit work Their demand
was promptly refused and the strikers
began preparations to enforce it.
1t is reported that sheriff s posse had
been captured by the mob. The Con-
solidated company has only 100 men at
work. 1t had 800 men at work Mon
day.
A special from Cumberland to The
News says the situation is alarming
there, and there is fear that every mo-
ment the outbreak may assume more
serious phase.

It's gratifying to note that re-
cruits are coming from the Demo
cratic camp and joining the grand
cohorts of Republicanism every day.
Charleston Tribune.
This is the same old Republican
lie that is paraded before the read
ers just before a political campaign
opens. There may be some discon-
tent in the Democratic ranks be-
cause Congress has been SO slow in
passing the tariff reform bill, and
because the President vetoed the
silver bill, but none of them are
thinking of deserving their party
and going over to the Republicans.
Democrats know too well that all
the ills that now afliet the country
are the outgrowith of vicious Re-
publican legislation, and no relief
could be expected by voting with
the Republican party. The Demo
Gratis have faith in the principles of
their party, if few men in power,
do eonstrue the platform adopted at
Chicago, differently from the great
body of the party Democrats will
see that these men are fought down
in nominating conventions, and that
they are retired from active service.
No, Democrats are not going over
to the Republican party.

1t is very apparent that the lead
ers of the Republican party prefer
party success to the welfare of the
country. The policy of that party
inaugurated some thirty years ago
has brought the country to the
verge of financial and commercial
ruin. Backed by the plutocrats,
who have been the benifciaries OF
the protective system and the gold
standard, these leaders in the Sen
ate are throwing every obstacle pos
sible in the way of the reform de-
manded by the popular will. Their
policy is rule or ruin. The Demo
cratic leaders are honestly striving
to bring the country back to a
healthy condition by gradual means
by reducing custom duties to the
revenue point and reducing expend-
itures as far as practicable under
the conditions produced by unwise
legislation by the Republican party.
Democratic lenieney and considera-
ton for many interests to be affec-
ted by too radical a change at the
start, have not been appreciated
and it is time to employ heroic
measures. 1t has always been the
fault of the Democrats to handle
their opponentstoo gingerly. Hav-
ing the power they should exercise
it-carry the main point, and pol
ish up the perfect afterwards.

An ExtraTagant Nation.

The cry Of hard times is heard
everywhere in the land.
But are the majority ofthe people
doing anything to make times
easier9 They spend s6OO,OOO,OOO a
year for liquor, s2cO.OOO,OOO year
for tobacco, and during the past
nine months, the worst period of
our financial depression, they have
imported 100000 worth of for
eign luxuries month.
When people spend SO much
money for what they do not need
there is bound to be financial
stringency somewhere.
About 175, 900 miners are now on
a strike. This voluntary stoppage
of work is a poor way to make
times better.
Then, look at the money wasted
on amnsements. The Brooklyn
handicap cost the 10000 people who
attended it about 100000 in
wagers, admission fees, etc. a few
days ago circus took 81, 600 out of
"a West Virginia town, and it is
estimated that fully 80 per cent of
this came out of the pockets of
poor people.
And this is the way the money is
going all over the country. 1t is
evident that some two or three score
millions of our people do not know
the first principles of economy. If
they would cut off their Injuries
they would be able to live comfort
ably even in harder times than
these.
These may be unwelcome facts,
but they are facts all tho same.
Luxuries for the masses and the
gold standard do not go hand in
hand.
