DO NO GOOD.

Since the Alliance movement. was
started, members of Congress, andeven
Senators, have managed to say that
the farmers and other industrial classes
should petition for what they want, and
every reasonable request would be
granted; that Congress was ready and
anxious to serve the people. Some
rather cranky people have always
thought that a Congressman ought to
know something about what all the
people of his section iced when he is
elected, and, in a general way, very
nearly what suits the whole country /;
but that theory has been exploded.
Well, the people began to petition.
The Alliance petitioned; the Grange
petitioned the Knights of Labor, Typo
graphical Union, organized railroad
employees petitioned. Nothing was
granted. Finally Coxey started to
Washington with a little band Of petit
tions with boots on At first Congress
reared back on its dignity and sent
Coxey word to stay at home. He came
on, however, and presented living petit
tions. Congress wouldn't even agree
to consider his suggestions. At last
his men were dubbed by the police
under the control of Congress and the
leaders arrested. From this we learn
that petitions are not wanted unless
they are accompanied by corporation
checks, or if they go with boots on,
they must be very fine boots, and wear
ers must sport diamonds and big pocket
books. ''Turn the rascals out"

A TRIBUTE 70 JOHN.

Everybody knows John and it is be-
cause of his wide acquaintance that we
reprint the following tribute to this dis
tInguished citizen from the pen of John
Quinn OF the Butte Miner:
The report comes from Chicago that
John Smith was killed in collision
And yet John Smith lives on He is
not dead We meet him on every street
He Is seen at every conner. tie walks
the earth and rides the sea aud laughs
at wind and wave. He moves unaNed
amid the madding throng and the echo
of his footsteps is heard IN hail and
temple. John Smith has not been killed.
He lives. The earth thrills under the
constant march of his invinciDle legions
and when the last day comes when the
earth trembles, quakes and dissoves
and the voice of doom addresses itself
to the solitary sentinel upon the last
crumbling promontory of disappearing
earth with the inquiry. Who are you!
the answer recorded in the book of fate
will by John Smith. 4 part of John
Smith may be dead "a mere inhnitesi-
NAL fragmen may have peen caught N
a collision, but the od man himself
speaks with million vDIces and walks
on two million legs.

DEAD COX OVENS.
4 'Condittsn, Not Theory" Confronted
the West Virgin a Wage Farmers.

1t is to be hoped that Chairman Will
SON heart was cneered the other day
rs, ON his campo IN tour through his
district in West Virginia. he passed 90
dead coke ovens over which was raised
. banner with the words, Result of
Tariff Reform. Mr. Wilson has labor
ed so hard to give prosperity to foreign
workmen at the expense of our own, he
has enjoyed so intensely the news of
the prosperity which has come to Eng.
land through his efforts, that he surely
must have rejoiced at this fresh evi-
dence of the transfer of industry from
this country to England, the land which
has feted and banqueted and made
much of him, its benefactor. We hope
his heart was cheered by the sight OF
the dead coke ovens, because it has not
been cheered by reelection to con
gress 1t would really be too much hon
or for one man TO be banqueted in Eng
land as the friend of English manufac-
turers and English workmen and also
TO be returned to the congress of the
United States by American Inanufac
turers and workmen.
Those dead coke ovens are not SO dead
~ the cause which Chairman Wilson
represents. The dead coke ovens will
come to life again under Republican,
rule in 1884 perhaps even at the fore
shadowing of Republican rule which
has been given by the overwhelming
Republican victory which swept the

Johann Strauss is an old and decrepit
man today, but with his SO years he
wants to appear as he did when he was
80. The pains he takes to remain the
Johann Strauss Of yore, with jet black,
curly hair and faultlessly black beard,
is not vanity, but a compliment to the
Viennese. He does not want to remind
his early admirers how old they are.
Strauss resides across the Danube in
Alt Wien. He is thin, emaciated and
sickly with rheumatism and the gout
and the various ills of fashion and
wealth. A thousand wrinkles play hide
and seek or ,he once beautiful face. The
eye, which used 10 mirror genius in
highest poetic ecstasy and fascinate
thousands of enthusiastic devotees on

just before the concert by the Sousa
band was opened at the Byceum the 9TH
er night young Arthur W. Pryor, the
solo trombone player, received word by
telegram that the girl to whom he was
TO be married within few weeks had
suddenly sickened and Unexpectedly
died. He couldn't realize the import of
the message at first, for he had received
no intimation that the girl was ill, but
in a minute or two he was able to com
prehend it all TheD,ke came very near
10 breaking down.
He said that he could not take his
place ON the stage when the time came
for him TO do so, but few words from
his associates convinced him that moth
ing would be gained by giving way.
and he appeared ON the stage with the
others when the concert was opened.
After the first selection Mr. Sousa step
ped into the wings and asked the young
fellow il he could play his solo when
the time came. Mr. Pryor answered
that he would do so, and he did play,
and no one in the big audience could
tell from his work that anything out of
the ordinary had happened to disturb
him.
Mr.. Pryor's sorrow was shared by ev-
cry member Ut the band. He is not
moro than 90 years old, and one who is
always ON the best of terms with all his
associates. Democrat and

The new Auditorium Is well adapted for
its purposes. Being in "A central location
beside the Wilkinson Park and Park Place
all possibility of the noise or disturbance
incident to an ordinary thoroughfare Is
