POLITICAL NOTES.
The bulk of Coxey's army is said to
have left Washington and is scattered
along the various roads leading towards
the north, and digging potatoes for a liv-

they gave him he has been named for
Congress, and announces that he has

followers They are no better now their
leader has left them than they were be-
i fore.
Speaking of the sugar tax, the Kansas
City Times, Oenl.) says:
But II this incidental protection to
sugar refiners is so grave and offensive
why isn't it equally wrong to protect
other articles in the same way?
Simply because the people have had an
object lesson in free sugar. and the pro-
tectionists are afraid that if the aglta-
ton is not kept up about it, the atten-
ton of the people may be directed to
other protectionist iniquities
The great strike of '94 is ended, and
the leaders in it are now devoting them
selves to politics, while the poor work
men who were deluded into it are left

would win, but they failed. 1t was they
who sowed the wind.
In practically every city of the state
! the A. +. A. is in virulent activity. Its
membership is almost wholly within the
republican party, and while 1t may not,
in every instance, include majority of
Republican voters, still from the fact of
close organization and by playing upon
the sense of temporary eXpediency, so
strongly developed in the breast of the
average politician of all parties it is able,

a. P. A.ism is just as intolerant as
Catholicism. We want neither in poll

The foolish business of asking protect
ed manufacturers how much the tariff
duties should be, ought to end with the
present session of Congress. The. man
with a market basket might as well ask
the man from whom he is buying how
much more the seller would be willing
/ to take.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dem-).
| The whole protective tariff is foolish
business, and it is only consistent to do
foolish things when it is concerned.
! Senator Hill manages constantly to
strike the keynote of popular sentiment
fully and generously. He did so yeSter-
day when, in speaking upon the substi-
tute bill recommended by the immigra
ton committee of the Senate for the
House bill for the suppression of Anar-
chlsm, he said: Such men would strike
down society. and / would slay them as
quickly as 1 would kill the wild beast that
came in my path to attack me-" This,
we believe, is the feeling of every law
abiding and patriotic citizen. 1t is the
answer of the challenge.-Ne York Com
mercial Advertiser, (Rep).
Such men would be wholesale murder
ers if opportunity presented itself. They
should receive the same treatment as
other would-be murderers
the petition signed by 10000 names now
in the hands Of Congressman Bryan ask
ing for the impeachment Of Attorney
General Olney merits attention. If the
cleveland administration goes out of Of

encouragement to The railroads and the
trusts it will be an eternal disgrace to
Demo cracy.-Chicago Times Oan).
Yes. almost as great disgrace as the
way the Chicago and Illinois officers man
aged the strike.
1t is precisely because America does lot
want to maintain a feet and an army in

The Nicaraguan canal, like the Suez,

the nation having the greatest interest in

Speaking of the Fithian bill, the New
York Herald Qnd) says:
The committee on rules apparently do
not care q fig whether the ruin of the
American carrying-trade goes on. But
they ought TO care for the disgrace and
party colors at the dicta ton of the ship
building trusts, which deserve less con-
sideration than the Sugar trust.
Party principles should not yield TO any
trust.
beyond the fact that Democrats can be
found in Alabama who are willing TO vote
and protest against the old Bourbon rule.
The followers of Kolb are simply Demo-
Gratis in revolt. There is no longer a Re-
publican party in Alabama worth speak

TO the party which gave them freedom.
now vote with their old masters or stay
away from the polish. y. Commercial
Advertiser (Rep).
The significance of the election is hat
Populisn is; not wanted, and the fact that
tie negroes have become tired of being
used merely to bolster up some pretended
friends.
A trade paper announces that forty-one
new industries were organized in the
Southern states last week, devoted 10 'he
manufacture of iron, steel, glass, brick
tile lumber, cotton and powdef Al! he
crops in that section are in promising
condition. and the business depression has
affected it less than any other part OF the
country. \ spirit Of enterprise is rising
in the South that promises to attract the
attention of the whole country.--St. Louis
Globe-Democrt (Rep).
This must tend to show that the South
believes that it can start manufacturing
enterprises under the prospect of lower
tariff than it would not be justified in
doing under the present one.
No soldiers no police of any country
have in like emergency behaved better
than did those of the United States I'LL
nois and Chicago in the support of law

tors have done is that of convincing work
irg men of the folly of surrenderlng their
