AntonioJ Jose da Silva e Sousa. Mr.. Sousa-
for SHORTS a Portuguese, who has lived in
Japan nearly all his life, where he has
amassed considerable wealth. He is In
washington for q few days on his way home
pom Peru. where he has just completed ar
-rangements for the establishment of q steam

Alas. They Must work.

BALTIMORE, Aug. II, 1s94.-Everybody who
has followed the cause of Coxey knows that
it was the idea to make the army a "Good
Roads Association and now Warden
Moore of the Maryland House of Correc-
ton intends to accord IS of the soldiers
an opportunity to show the prac-
ticability of the association. Son Monday
morning the Coxeyites who were arrested
at Hyattsville last Thursday and sentenced
to three months in Bridewell, will be put to
work or widening a private road from Jes-
sups to the institution. When this work is
completed other employment Of hk charac-
ter is promised the men.
Christopher Columbus Jones' long beard
has disappeared and his Philadelphia friends
would not recognize him. All the men
went through the ordeal of shaving and hair
clipping when they were locked up. The
arrest of the Hyattsville campers seems to
lave been the sounding of the death knell OF
Coxeyism in the East.

coxeyites in Troubie.

Patrolman F. Regain Of the Sixth pre-
cinct corralled, single-handed, a eonting-
ent of Coxey's army, consisting of eight
of the most hardened looking specimens
of humanity that ever walked. The
men were sleeping in a box car at West
End, on the West Shore Railroad, and
when he ordered them to leave they
refused to do so. He then commanded
them to walk in front of him at the
risk of a, broken skull, and they obeyed
him very peaceably.
They. range in g from p to 65 years
old. Their names are James Anderson,
Herbert Temple, Otto Berger, Herbert
Krammer, Patrick Buckley, John Yea
man, James Quinn and Paul Bremen; no
home nor occupation.
Anderson, who is IS years old, acted as
spokesman, said they had left Coxey's
main army the night after they had
failed at Washington, n since then
have been travelling anywhere and ev-
~erywhere.
Judge Macs, who is taking Judge Doug
lass place, CAV them the option of
paying S. fine or rusticating upon the
County Farm for thirty days, and do
some hoeing. AS they were all fond of
work, they preferred to do a little farm
ing, and took the latter part of the
penalty.

Inyestfgation Invited.

OF course It Is proper to Inquire
about what any man says, Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is invited
into the testimonials published in behalf
of Hoods S~arsaparilta. Special atten-
tion is called to the high character Of
the persons whose testimonials are pub
lished by the proprietors of this medicine
as evidenced by their occupations or in
dorsements. In fact, no matter where a
estimonial in behalf of Hoods Sarsa-
narilIa may be from, 1t is reliable and
as worthy of confidence as If 1t came
from YOU most trusted neighbor.

of the MARYLAND authorities.

of the Maryland authorities, so his
letter stated and TO show his defiance he
offered the industrial five cents a maj for
every day they would encamp on his prop
erty. He would take all the men he could
get, and if 400 men carne over he would give
them camping ground and afford them pro-
lection from the officers. This number of
men at five cents a head per day would
mean the sum of SO every day to the com-
missary, sufficient, so one man stated. to
allow the army to live i'll high style all the
while.
Marshal Bullock, one of the I'VE men left
to take charge or the Coxey camp belong
ings at Stagmeier's place, near Highlands,
Maryland, in the absence of his fellow Cox
eyites, on their three months outing at s'Jes-
sup's Cut" Maryland, the location of the
Maryland House of Correction, whittier they
were sent day before yesterday by Justice
Carr, of Hyattsvilles visited his
pals yesterday, and found them in high
spirits and evidently contented n happy
with the idea of living three months at the
expense of the State. He refused to divulge
the object of his visit, but it is thought that
he went for the purpose of consulting Mar
shall Mckee, who is at present at the head
of the army with a view of having wits
of habeas corpus issued for the release of the
men.
A VENGEANCE.
Mckee presents a sorrowful sight with his
closely shaven whiskers and striped trousers,
and swears vengeance against the authorities
when released:
The Governor has not yet sent Instructions
as to what disposition is to be made of the
tents, horses, etc., remaining in camp at
Highlands, but it is thought he will do SO as
soon as he is satisfied of his legal authority
to proceed in the matter, In answer to a
question Justice Carr said that il Frye's
army from over the Potomac came to High
lands they would be arrested and sent up
like the others.
AS the matter now stands there are be-
tween two and three hundred Common
wealers' on the bridge which connects the
District Of Columbia with the State of Viz
ginia. With State troops at the Virginia end
and the District police, who have already
driven them from the District, at the other
end. the .hoboes'' are in a sorry plight.
IT. is quite likely that, eventually,
all of the deluded tramps will be shipped
away at the expense of the District In
deed, nearly all of them could have secured
free transportation to a safe distance il they
had not been SO persistently stubborn as to
their exact point of destination n the class
of accommodation to be afforded them en-
route.

MORE BONDS WANTED.

Congressman Meyers of Louisiana has
introduced bill authorizing the treasury
to issue whatever bonds may be necessary,
with the understanding that the President
will sign bill authorizing the coinage of
the seigniorage on silver purchases. Should
this bill be favorably reported by the
Finance Committee there will be straight
vote on the gold policy of the administra-
ton. 1t is well known that three per cent
bonds will not sell at par unless they are
made payable in gold. There Is already a
good deal of talk about exercising the
right the treasury possesses of paying both
interest on bonds and demand notes In
silver, or part silver and part gold. In the
face of this talk the banks will stipulate
that bonds shall be distinctly made paya-
BILE in gold.
1t is not probable that any such bill will
pass. AS the Chicago Times remarks,
the man who votes for II Twill be con-
sumed in the hot flames of the peoples
wrath" Democrats who have stood by
Mr.. Cleveland 10 his personal policy will
have TO choose between the hot flames of
the peoples wrath and the hot flames of
the Presidents wrath. That Mr.. Cleve-
land will make stubborn fight to prevent
resort to silver payment during his ad-
ministration can only be doubted on the
not improbable assumption that the trans
p0rtation corporations have come to the
conclusion that the time has come to aban-
don the effort to put the country on legal
gold basis

stockholders. Giving the holders OF the
notes the first lien on broken banks
assets is help when there are assets, but
it does not assure anything the notehold-
ers can get hold of. Making stockholders
liable for twice the par value OF their
stock sounds we'll, but it is seldom that
stakeholder has been made to hand over
his private property to redeem bank notes
with. But this Is the currency that IS Of
fered in place of that of national bank,
which deposits with the Government COL
lateral 10 per cent greater in value than
the notes it is supplied with. or of ma
tional currency which has the credit of
great nation behind it, 1t is remarkable
that some of the advocates of the State
bank scheme objected TO the coinage OF
the silver purchased with treasury notes
on the ground that such silver was collat-
era to secure the payment of notes. In
other words, the Federal Governments
promise to pay was not considered good
without collateral, but notes based on in
dividual credit are now pronounced good.

WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY

The methods by which the Pacific Bank
and the PEOPLES Home Bank have been
wrecked reflect disgrace upon this city. Ii
may be impossible TO determine where the
chief blame lies, but the object of an in
vestiEation by Grand Jury is Tot so much
to lay hands on the biggest rascal as TO
bring all rascals to justice. Between the
wrecking of a savings bank and the hold
ing up of a railroad train or stagecoach
there is difference only in the greater
chances the road agent takes. The bank
wrecker is the more dangerous member of
society. He reaches into more homes than
his associate in crime. he betrays the
confidence he has invited; be rot only no BIS
his dupes. but he inflicts irreparable Injury
upon other honestly managed Institutions
in the city. There are at present In this
State thousands of men and women, mostly
of small means. who are bemoaning their
conduct in intrustiDg their savings to a
bank. At the time OF industrial depression
when they most needed their savings they
could not gel dollar. The bank-wreckers
were making merry with the money Of the
dep0sitors. One scouDdrel admits taking
$4,000 for which he had rendered no service.
He took it because he could get it precisely
as Black Bart used to make free with the
Wells. Fargo & Co. money-box. The Grand
Jury has fine opening for display OF
ability in ferreting out crime.

WILSON TARIFF CURIoSITIEs

In an elaborate argument in support of
the Wilson tariff bill the Examiner says:
The Wilson bill exposes our shrinking ether
manufacturers TO the horrors of competition
with the pauper labor OF Europe with only $50
per cent protection.
It does not seem to have occurred to our
free-rade contemporary that it is not the
ether manufacturers with their $50 per
cent protection that are making the fight
against the Wilson bill. On the ontrary.
1t is the producers OF raw material who
are denied any per cent of protection,
while certain industries are highly pro-
teeted. The Examiner claims it as a
credit for the Wilson bill that it affords
more than 100 per cent protection to four
teen articles of import. The highest Nc
Kinley rate was 400 per cent, and that the
Wilson bill reduces to $50 per cent. Mean
time great industries are exposed to for
eign competition. Raw wool is on the
free list, though in respect 10 the capital
involved and the number of persons en-
ployed wool ranks high among agricultural
industries Of the country. Sugar is an
other industry that the Wilson bill leaves
to live or die as it may In competition with
the sugar of cheap labor countries. The
Wilson bill also proposes to close mp the
iron and coal mines by admitting foreign
ores free at sesports. The cost of trans
portstion will then be against the Ameri-
can producer for a considerable distance
from the seaport cities. 1t is pointed out
that while the Mckinley duties averaged
49.5S per cent the Wilson duties average
1852 per cent. II is not the magnitude of
the average rate of Drotection an mncn IN q T
IS complained of as the ruthless discrmi-
nation against American natural products.
The farmer. who was protected at every
possible point under the Mckinley tariff,
is exposed at every point under the Wilson
bill. Duties are continued on things the
farmer has to buy and taken off things
he has to sell. And yet the actors in the
grotesque war against home Industries
appear serenels unconscious of the spec
tacle they are making of themselves.
The morning call., 1894-04-19
THE STATE BANK REPEAL BILL

The bill to repeal the tax on such State
banks as conform to its provisions contem-
plates curious blending of Federal and
State authority. The Comptroller of the
Currency is to supply the State banks with
blank notes, thus providing for State bank
bills the security against counterfeitiDg
which the national bank bills now possess.
Is is further provided that the notes shall
be secured by first lien on all assets, and
by the personal liability of shareholders to
twice the par value OF these shares; also a
Limitation of these issues to 70 per cent of
the paid-up capital. Such are the princi-
pal features Of the State bank scheme, and
there is DO more reason why State bank
circulation should not be safe than there
was when similar conditions were applied
years ego. There has never been a time
when some kind of security was not given
by law to the people who were asked to
accent bank notes as money. This security
has always been In the form Of liability Of
