MCEWES'S LETTER.

Arthur lIcEwen's Letter has sus-
pended. 1t vas the most indepen-
dent publication that this city has
ever seen. Ii was II be the organ of
the pubic against what it termed

ors idea was that there being no reg
ular organ for the downtrodden pub
lie, he would furnish one.
The public is always railing against
the corporations, and the press that
serves these corporations, but when
anyone is willing to step in the field
with paper for the public the pub
lie applauds approvingly, but refuses
ID support it by patronage la other
words the public wants an organ that
don't cost it anything.
An early grave always awaits a
newspaper published in the interest
OF the public, and a man who at
temptj ID publish such sheet, may
have good intentions, but he Will
have more good intentions than
money if he keeps up his lick year,
A paper published on the ''Public be
Damned style is always sure of long
life and prosperity. The corpora
tons pay literally for newspapers
but the public does not.
Mr.. McEwen showed commend
able independence in his attack on the
wealth and power that holds San
Francisco in hand. and he suspended
honorably by returning every dollar
due his l60 yearly subscribers.

COXey 5 Terrible Crime.

Washington, May 10. -Coxey fin
ally weakened and is broken down
with grief over his connection with a
terrible crime. Last evening he
broke down and made full ccnfes-
sion. He said he actually walked OF
the Capitol grass and sat down Cd a
bench without asking the permission
of a policeman. He wept bitterly
during the terrible recital. Ills as
sociates are expected to weaken in a
few days. His wife still sticks by
him, and refuses to believe i'll his
guilt, 1t is not true that screws
were used to wrest his confessions
from him, although Cleveland did
threaten to read one of his Congress
ional Messages to him if he didn't
confess. There is no talk of lynch
ing yet.-Midwinter Appeal.

THE COXEY ARMY.

TIE trials and sutferings and priva-
tons o. tle paJrlot bands, who strug-
gled for American independence in
the dark days Of 1716, are not more
glaring heroic devotion to the public
good than the conduct of this little
army that has climbed the eastern
mountains and drops down to sunny
Mary'an3, marching, marching to
the east of government. 1t conflicts
with opposition, its determined bat
tie with the elements, its defiance Of
political opposition, its scorn of ridi-
cule and sneeIs, and its fixed pur-
pose to keep the law, but reach
Washington, have made it the center
of thought and won the respect, and
even the sympathy and support of
thousands. And more than this, it
has become the ADVANCE guard OF
thought, and turned public opinion
in favor of its objects. Napelean
crossing the Alps in the SHOWS Of
winter was for the conquest of peace
full Italy; but the intrepid Carl
Brown and his band Of sturdy free
men have braved the storms, climbed
the mountains, faced the abuse of
the metropolitan press, and the
threats Of officials; they have endured
the coii IN scanty clothing; slept on
the cold damp ground; and faced the
proposed legal and military opposi>
ton, like the pioneers of liberty,
VINO made this free nation.
General Kelly has proved himself
bonn leader. Polite and gentle
manly, clear seeing and determined;
full Of courage and resource, and
with personal appearance that conf
mands respect and obedience firm
his men, and wins the admiration Of
his enemies; he compels respectful
audience from governors and railway
maguates, the admiration Of the
masses, and support from the people.
The spectacle of 10000 people from
Omaha and Council Bluffs gathering
in a monster crowd with flags and
bands to force the governor to. with
draw the troops; to spit upon a great
railway attorney who promised to
ditch any train these men should
ride, and do it regardless of cost or
loss Of life, Infatuated the people to
violence, and the officials promptly
repudiatad such threats, while the
800 wives Of leading citizens" took
possession of train and went to the
rescue Of Kelly and bis men.-Col-

The expression of Misrepresentation up

scowled at the fellow vigorously until

ready TO enter into conversation. Thus
the two talked confidentially till the
train got to Stamford. when the drum

FARMERS LOSSES.

The extent of the financial injury
done the wool growers Of Wisconsin by
the free wool schedule Of the demo-
cratic tariff bill can be seen from the
following statement of prices at which
wool was sold in this state in 1892 and
1891, according to the price list fur
niShed by L. Reel well known as Il
wool dealer of Milwaukee.
There are two kinds of wool grown
III Wisconsin, medium and fine. In
1892 the medium was selling from %
10 "a cents, and the washed for from
30 to 81 cents. The fine unwashed
was bringing from Is to 10 cents in
1892, and the washed from ~ to ~
cents.
The striking influence of the free
wool policy of the democratic party
upon prices is forcibly Illustrated by
the condition of the wool market in
1894. The price of medium unwashed
is now fetching but IA to 10 cents, a
loss of about 10 cents a pound. The
price of medium washed is selling at
10 cents, Il loss of II cents pound,
The price of fine unwashed is bring
ing from 10 to II cents, loss of from
to s cents a pound; and washed
brings 10 cents, a loss of u cents a
pound. These figures show that there
is an averaged loss of II cents a
pound on medium and 10 cents on fine
From these facts it can be aScer-
tanned to Il certainty how much the
wool growers of Wisconsin are paying
for democrati" reform.
When the assossors throughout the
state gathered the statistics of farm
produce early in the summer of 1898
there were i'll this state 94S.226 sheep
and lambs I'll increase Cf ih,11G over
the corresponding period for 1892.
The sheep statistics of 1894 have not
yet been completed but estimating the
number in the state the same ;.% thlI
of 1893. and calculating on a basis of
only six pounds of wool per sheep. the
clip of 1894 will reach 1858. 800 pounds
If we count the average loss on this
production 10 cents n pound which
must be regarded as Il very fair eSti-
mate, the aggregate loss to the wool
growers Of the state resulting directly
from the free wool clause Of the admin
istration tariff law amounts to the
enormous sum of $56S.925.
This immense loss falls quite heavily
on some counties. Last year there
were 61.516 sheep and lambs in Fond
du Lac county. most of which were
quarter-bloods, or mediums. the high
est grade of wool grown to any extent
equal to that of 1893. and taking the
prices of 1899 as Il basis. the loss to
that county by the forced decline in
the price of wool in consequence of
free trade in that article amounts 70
$4,000.
Taking all the counties in the state
having $4,000 sheep and upwards. and
the direct loss to them in the great de-
cline in the price Of woods stands as
follows:

THE PING YANG DEFEAT.

We may probably take for granted
that the overwhelming rout of the
Chinese at Ping Yang Will complete
the ruin Of Ii Hung Chang, and that
his enemies will hereafter entirely con-
troll the Tsung Ii Yamen, or great coun-
Gil at Pekin. If these men really have
at heart the interests of the lettering
dynasty and possess intelligence
enough to render their fidelity useful
they will spare no pains to come to an
agreement with their enemy while he
is occupied in finishing the conquest of
Corea. If they fail to do this the OBJ
vious course of the mikado's govern
ment will be to aim a death stroke at
the Mantchoo rulers of the middle
kingdom by dispatching an expedition
against their capital, there to dictate
peace which may materially affect the
balance of power in eastern Asia

The principles of democracy are
right, cannot be successfully COM

day of their triumph, however. may
be long postponed by party approval,
for the sake of momentary success, of
acts and policies not calculated to
preserve party honor, but the con-

and lasting defeat. 1t becomes dem

PARNELL RECALLED.
How He Appeared a Few Weeks Be
fore His Death.

This particular time of year." said
distinguished citizen of New York
to a Sun reporter, always recalls to
my mind a short talk l had with
Charles Stewart Parnell in London a
few weeks before his death. | had
come in, after an all-night trip to Dub
lin, and landed in London at an early
hour in the morning. 1t was barely
daylight, and | felt restless and warm
after my partial sleep in the train. |
started to walk along the Thames en-
bankment to my hotel, just as morn
ing broke, and had almost reached the
house of parliament, when the tall,
stoop-shOuldered and well-known fig
ure of Mr.. Parnell doomed up in the
gray light of the morning in front of
me. 1t was a time when the entire
press Of Great Britain was bounding
the Irish patriot in the most brutal
and outrageous manner. His private
affairs had been taken up by the press,
and he was undergoing a martyrdom
more severe than that of any other
public man in the history of the
world. When he saw me he stopped
and shook hands, and as we conversed
| | turned and walked back with him
until l reached the railroad bridge
where he left me. He had been up all
night working with his attorneys and
pursuing his efforts to keep the Irish
party together. His face was stamped
with the look of a man who had
reached the absolute end of his energy
and life. The natural pallor Of. his
skin had given way to a whiteness
that was almost transparent, his nose
was pinched and drawn, and there
were heavy purple circles beneath his
eyes. l noticed that his neck, wher-
ever it could be seen under his hair,
had grown very thin, and there was
an indescribable weary look in every
feature of his face and figure. ] be-
lieve | am somewhat of a traveller, and
l certainly have a wide acquaintance
with public men, but never in my life
had 1 seen so pathetic a picture as
Mr.. PARCEL presented in the gray light
of that London morning. l should be
glad to see some more adequate recog-
milton Of the anniversary of his death
in this country than has thus far been
shown, and | think a great many thou
sands of Americans feel the same
way"
