Whence Comes coxeyItes.

1t is a significant circumstance that
while contingents for Coxey's "army"
are making for Washinton from all
other parts of the country there are
none from the South. They come
chiefly from Republican States-States
in which Republican teaching has
done its perfect work in undermining
the Democratic doctrines OF self help
and no paternalism, Coxey himself
and the first army came from Ohio,
where McKinleyism is rampant and
protection has impoverished its thous-
ands. Then follow the attachments
from Pennsylvania, Mass lchusetts,
California and other Republican
States where the high tariff has made
the rich very rich and the poor very
poor.
But we do not hear OF single
"army" from the impoverished South
nor from any State in which protec
ton has not showered It's favors on The
owners of pet industries The Coxey

Way CHuRCrPRopERrY SHOULD
BE TAXED The taxation of church
property has been advocated by the
greater number Of our public men
from Benjamin Franklin down to-
President Garfield for the obvious rea.
son that exemhon from taxation Of
any churc property Is really form Of
State support Of the church. This is
alike dangerous 90 the State and the

cations have grown up by the help of
such eXemtion which do many things
with Their property and have an adj
vantage in deriving revenue from GER
tain uses of it over property used for
the same purposes held by other cor
porations that are taxed The extent
to which churches in our large cities
have become property owners is hard
ly known to the public nor are the
dangers either to religion or to the
State appreciated. This whole subject
is very iorcibly set forth in the May
number of Tie Forum, not from the
point Of view OF an opposition to the
churches, for it is written by the Rev.
Madison @. Peters of New York, and
one of the strongest arguments he
makes is the benefit that would accure

would say, in case OF that kind, # we
found ores in foreign country within

should NJ go there and get them, and

Judge Smith had dismissed the

GUST Henry Hart of the many Of
fees he now holds in violation of
the law Judge Smith did nothing
of The kline. He simply declined
to grant a preliminary injunction to
restrain Mr., Hart from exercising
the functions of any Of these offices
until the case could be heard upon
it's merits. The merits of the con.
troversy were not considered at all,
Judge Smith holding that he had
no power to grant the preliminary
Injunction, even if it was conceded
that Mr.. Hart was holding more
than one lucrative office.
The case is ready for hearing so
far as complainant is concerned. If
Mr.. Hart is anxious to have the
controversy heard upon its merits
and speedily settled, he can quickly
be accommodated. But we predict
that Hart will take advantage of
every bubble to postpone a hearing
as long as possible, in order to draw
salaries he is not entitled, in the
opinion OF many, 10 receive. With
Mr.. Hart's consent the case could
be heard in side of ten days.

DOURACK, Scotland, Oct. IL
Designer Watson has lines out for
a cup challenger for 1895, and on
the most reliable authority the
statement is made that Lord Dun
raven has decided to go the limit
as to length and will build 90
footer, thus asking no favors Of the
New York Yacht club, as to length.
Work on the boat will commence
at once and the challenge may be
sent little ahead of the official re-
quired time. In building a 90
footer Lord Dunraven has gone the
limit and consequently need have
no fear of existing boats.

WANTS DAMAGES

For 100000 for Loss of an Eye.
CHICAGO, Ills, Oct. lin
suit filed against Edward Corrigan,
one of the proprietors of the Haw-
thorne race track, Constable John
Henry Cunningham asks for $780,
600 damages for an alleged assault
from which he lost the use of one
of his eyes. The constable on Sep
TENDER 18th, was given a state
warrant for the arrest of Corrigan
for operating pool room in con-
nection with his track. Constable
Cunningham went out to the track
to serve the writ but was resisted
He says COrrigan hit him several
blows and finally served warrant
on him for trespassing under
which he was confined for three
days. On hearing he was dis
charged. One Of Corrigan's blows,
plaintiff claims, felled him to the
ground and he was kicked about
the head and upon the right eye
His injuries affected his sight and
his disability is permanent.
