If a Democratic congress
cannot do business with nearly a
hundred majority, it can't do bust
ness at all. This is the conclu-
sion of the country, and the next
House will be Republican.
-Ccxey is in Jail and ii
serves him right. He started TO
Washington with the intention of
disobeying the law, expecting to
gain notoriety and sympathy by so
doing. There are too many good
citizens in this country, however,
for Coxeyism to get much of a foot
hold.
There is only one difference
between the Coxeyite and the
common tramp. The Coxeyite begs
his bread, and must ride even if
he has to engage in transporta-
tion stealing to do it. The com
mon tramp begs his bread, but is
willing to walk. OF the two the
common tramp is the more re-
spectacle.
The Democratic convention
at Kansas City was stormy one,
and whenever the convention got
beyond the control of the chair
man and the sergeant -at-arms
the band would strike up "Dixie." "
Then the old mossbacks from the
back districts would hug each other
and cut pidgeon wings on the floor
of the convention hall. Verify.
Dixie is still a power in Democra'
cy.
Last week the GRAPHIC
stated that the committee on ere
dentials at the Democratic conven
ton fixed things so that all tn,
contesting delegations from Adail
county could do was to set an6
make faces at each other. Tht
statement was true as far as The
committee was concerned, but
seems that the Wolfe delegation
did not follow up its advantages
While the Wolfe delegation was
out seeing the town, W. I. Bairc
cast the only vote from Adai
county for Darlington, and as th'
Wolfe delegation failed to appea
he continued to cast the Adai
county vote throughout the con
vention. Wolfe should have had hi
delegates better drilled.
The bimetallic convention
which recently convened in Lon
don is the strongest and most in
tluential that has ever met for th'
purpose of advocating the restora
tion of silver to use as STANDARD
money metal. The character o
its membership shows plainly tha
bimetallism is securing a yer,
strong hold in the high places il
Europe, and that the cause i
making progress among people VIII
can influence law making powers
The real friends of silver in thi
country should join in this genera
movement which is eXtendin:
through the world in favor Q
bimetallism. The agitation as
is now carried on by the Populist
and the Populist wings of the Re
publican and Democratic partie
is a hindrance rather than a hel
to this general movement, an
not until there is a union c
sentiment in favor of Information
al bimetallism can the Unite
States hope to exert any great IL
huence toward the restoration c
silver to its place as none
metal of the world.

The End of the Coal Strike Has an Effect
in Restoring Trade-The Failures Are
Less Than Half the Number of the Cor
responding Week in 1S93-The Pros
poets are Improving for Good Fall
Trade
New York, June s22. -Bradstreets to-
morrow. will say: There are indications
of moderate improvement in various
lines, enough instances to render the fact
of some significance. A notably favor
able feature is the practical ending Of
the coke and coal strikes, which, with
those in related industries, will put to
work at once more than $500 men.
The number of employees in industrial
lines still on strike is estimated at about
10000. There are sales by jobbers in
staple lines for future delivery where
nothing save hand to mouth business
as been reported for weeks.
At pointssstri butary to Kansas City and
st. Louis the grain harvesting is under
full headway, and the condition of wheat
Is excellent, while the demand for money
to move the crop is marked and the sup
ply is abundant. The western steel
works recently started show dis
position by capitalists and others to
push the new enterprise. The reverse
of the picture contains nothing worse
than previously reported. More famll-
tariff legislation, resulting in stagnation
of business.
The uneasiness in Florida and portions
OF Louisiana is due to the drouths. Not
outstanding the decline in prices of
coal, cattle, hogs, copper, the tendency
of quotations is upward, wheat gaining
2 IA cents, corn IL cents, oats 4 IL
cents, on corner rendered possible by
very short supply of spot, pork 25c., lard
&C., coffee 3-Sc., raw sugar 1-16c., quot
ations for cotton remaining practically
unchanged. Nothing indicating an
increased demand for staple goods or a
tendency to anticipate wants is reported
from any New England city. Compare
lively large shipments of shoes from
Boston are due to heavy consignents of
the south, based on a cut in freight rates.
The shoe factories at Philadelphia are
largely idle, and the cotton and woolen
mills are running as previously reported
the former accumulating stocks and the
latter on orders. Some improvement in
the distribution of merchandise is an
nouncedfrom New Orleans. particularly
in hardware and Galveston reports busi-
ness fairly active and prospects encour-
aging AT Charleston, Memphis,
Atlanta, Chattanooga, Augusta, Birming-
ham and Mobile trade is only fair or

A COxEYITEIN TOWN.
An Interesting Story of the Great Original
Industrial Army.

A bright appearing young man, who gave
his name as William G. Potter, was looking
about this city for several hours Thursday.
He was from 1.-THE army in front of Washing
TOM as he put it, in ot1er words from the
command of Gen. Coxey, of whom he has
but II poor opinion, although he thinks that
hes1s good deal more of man than Carl
Browne, of whom both as a man and as
public instructor, especially in the latter
capacity he grew ''to be very sick" as he
said.
Young Potter was in Chicago when the
Coxey movement was first talked of, but
went to Ohio, where he has a brother, and
where he first saw Coxey. AT first he took
considerable stock in Coxey, and ultimately
concluded to join the army, which he did
after it had marched about one hundred
miles. When he did go he accepted the ad-
vice of his brother and took $50 concealed
in his cl1thes, and S. in change. That $50
enabled him to go home in much better style
than that favored by tramps in general.
Potter saw hard times while with Coxey.
That worthy individual gave him pair of
shoes, and promised him some clothes when
they reached Washington, but they failed
to materialize. Potter says he saw one of
the soldiers go through the pockets of a
new recruit while he slept, but that indvid-
ual was believed to be a detective or re-
porter in disguise. and deserted before
morning. and as he made no complaint re-
garding his loss, Potter did not feel called
upon to do so after he left.
Potter believes that the army was de-
signed to boom Gen. Co1ey for Congress.
He heard Coxey and Browne talking over
the prospect for Coxey's nomination in the
Massilon district. He said that Coxey said
he should ''be the Peffer of the House, if
elected to Congress-
