COXEY FIXED.
And Fixed the Right Wayne Invasion
on Public Property.

Oh IuDilc Properly.
The dispatch from Washington
which Is printed below has some
quite cheering intelligence to oppos-
ers of mob law:
There is one circumstance which
may interfere with the main features
of General Coxey's announced pro
gramme at Washington. 1t has been
stated that the object of bringing
his army here is to assemble it on
the steps of the Capitol on the 1st
day of May for the purpose of i'm
pressing its view upon Congress.
To do this it will be necessary to first
secure authority from Congress, as
there are specific acts upon the stat.
ute books forbidding the assembling
of crowds in the Capitol or in the
Capitol grounds, for the holding of
any sort OPP public meeting, except
the sessions of Congress and the as
semblages which are incident to the
Inauguration of President. These
laws go to the extent of forbidding
organized parades through the Capt.
toll grounds. The law is also very
strict in regard to the invasion of
the grounds. Only on the occasion
of inaugurations are people permit
ted to overrun the grounds.
There is no place near the Capitol
available for Mr.. Coxey's purpose,
and if he should be refused permits
sion for the assemblage Of his i, fol
lowers on the Capitol steps, the pro-
ceedings probably would not make
so great an impression upon Con
gress as they are intended to make.
That the necessary consent for
the use of the Capitol grounds could
be obtained for this purpose is con
sidered extremely doubtful. Con
gress has always shown itself very
jealous of the general use of the Cap
itol building and grounds. and de
parture in favor of Coxey's brigade
is almost unlikely

"LOng Live Protection.

A friend hands us the following
article on the tariff, which we find so
apropos that we appropriate it bodi-
ly:
Congressman Bartholdt, of Mis-
souri,, recently introduced (by re-
quest) bill providing that foreign
drummers shall pay an annual tax
Of ST. 600 This is excellent It's a
crying shame that our we'll fed, well
clothed American drummers should
80 long have been unprotected from
the pauper drummers of an colder
and lower civilization" But the
congressman doesn't go far enough.
He should,introduce bill to place a
$4,000 export duty on the ubiqui-
tous American tourist. Why should
the White Sulphur Springs Of West
Virginia be unprotected against the
pauper springs of Baden? Why
should the poker dens of Charleston
and Huntington mot 60 mention
those which might with equal pro-
priety be called ''home industries"
be unprotected against the slower
civilization Of Monte Carlo? Let
not our good protectionist congress
man stop with the good work. This
thing of American heiresses exchang-
ing their papas' millions for the pro
ducts of foreign pauper labor and a
lower civilization is becoming en-
tirely too frequent The American
young man needs protection against
these paper princes. It's both a
"home" and an infant" industry
that he is trying to establish and by
all the canons of the protecJionist he
is entitled to it. Let the bill impose
a tax of 81, 100000 on every Ameri-
can girl who marries one of these
foreign paupers.

The coal miners in the Cumber-
land region, which include some of
the properties of German and Davis,
have agreed to accept reduction of
10 cents ton for mining. They
will now get 40 cents ton for min
ing coal, and screened coal at that.
The present tariff on coal is rs cents
q ton. Now will some one wiser
than we tell us where and how the
tariff protects the coal miners. We
know how it protects the coal mine
owner, and the railroads, but that
isn't what we are inquiring about.
We would like for some one to in

his protection? This is very i'm.

The Virginia Legislature has
adopted a joint resolution creating a
commission of five-two to be ap
pointed by the Senate, two by the
House and one by the Governor-to
meet a like commission from this
State and il possible settle the ques-
tion as to whether or not we owe the
Old Dominion anything, and if SO
how much. This question is likely to
be as interesting to the next Legis-
lature as the election of successor
to Senator Camden.

The authorities at the Mint Blu
reau of the Treasury Department
say that if the seignorgae bill does
become law that it will take two
years or more to coin it. The only
mints in operation are those at Phil
adelphia, San Francisco and New
Orleans. The Philadelphia and San
Francisco minis can each turn out
about 81 ,000,0 900 per month and that
at New Orleans about $8O0,OOO. The
San Francisco mint, however, has
only about 100000 in silver bull
lion on hand, and the New Orleans
mint only about $5,5OO,OOO leaving
about $30,OOO,OO0 to be coined at
the Philadelphia mint which will re-
quire more than two years to do.

Joe Chiffon is very probably out
of the race for U. S. Senator against
Senator Camden. He is backed
heavily for place on the Interstate

Camden's strongest opponent, but
there are other Democrats who are
not likely to leave the field entirely
open to the present incumbent when
the Legislature meets.

practically removed when the American In

government appointment should follow. Such

Some of the purely partisan newspapers
are comforting themselves with the figures
that emanate from the House Committee on
Appropriations. They quote Chairman Say
ers as authority for the statement that the
total appropriations for the fiscal year COM
mencing July l will be less by some S32,
10000 than the appropriations for the cur
rent official year-"which shows" says a
representative OF the class referred to
what may be done when economy is i'm
perative." Comment is also made to the
effect that SO much has been provided in
each bill as can be spent to advantage
within the fiscal year provided for. While
that may be true as to some of the bills
reported. ii is not true as TO the bill max
ing appropriations for the District of Column
bia. In that measure as il now is. there is
evidence of a desire TO preveEt the people of
the District from receiving any of the ad-
vantages which should accrue from the in
creased taxation wrought by the last assess
ment. Many much-needed public works are
completely neglected, and there is Con-
gressional unconcern of the inexcusable
sort as To projected improvements for
which there has long been great popular
outcry.

Since the completion OF the marvellous

aroused In this country a strong and proper

on being fully and fairly discussed. Sweep

In several cities Of the United States the
work of abOlishing the grade-crossings
Of steam railroads is proceeding with salts
factory rapidly. For many years there has
been promise Of track elevation and track
depression within the limits of Washington;
there have been hearings before congress
stonal committees and the District Com
missfoners: argument has been made by
representatives of the various interests
involved; surveys have been made: plans
drawn and submitted reports forwarded. and
acts OF Congress framed and even intro
duced. And what has come of it all? Some
OF the busiest thoroughfares are still OBJ
structed by heavy railroad traffic to the
public discomfort and detrfment. and &C.
casionally a human life is suddenly and
unnecessarily brought to sudden conclu-
sion. No one now attempts to defend the
existence OF grade crossings in large cities,
and no one has ever sincerely advocated
continuation of the evil here, but the una
nimity OF opinion has not been prolific of
action. The Pennsylvania company has de-
clared it's willingness to SO depress its
tracks as to satisfy most people while the
Baltimore and Ohio management pledged
itself to run its trains in on a solid ma
sorry viaduct of the most approved descrip-
ton. With the appearance of childlike
frankness the agents of the corporations
named discussed the plans and gave as
surance of complete willingness to do all
that could be expected OF them and to do
IL speedily. More than year has elapsed
since the last chirp was heard. 1t cannot
be said that the conflicting views of citi-
zens were responsible for the marked in
activity. The blame must rest entirely
upon the shoulders of those who declared
themselves ready to go ahead as soon as
Congress should say the word, but who
took good care that Congress should not
legislate too speedily. Every real American
wants the capital of the nation to be
model city. and some day that delightful
condition will be reality, but not until the
steam railroad tracks are above or below
grade, and that ancient dam-the Long
bridge-has been superseded by a modern
and graceful structure.

Senator Jones Of Arkansas may not have

matters as some Of the other members

but he has the long end of the argument
when he favors and advocates an increase

additional dollar OF duty on each barrel of
malt liquor would result In a revenue in
crease of not less than S32OoO.OOO without
any increase in the cost of collection. The
cost of beer to the consumer could not be
Increased. for one dollar on the barrel is
but the one-ifth of a cent per glass. Divid-
