GENERAL EVANS WELCOMES
The agreement of Hon. w. \. Atkinson with
Ills Views of National Policy.


His Views of National Policy.
There is no room for controversy be-
tween u.s." was what General Clement A
Evans said. when asked his opln-
ion concerning Hon. w. Y. Athinson's letter
of announcement.
The general had read Mr.. Atltinson's let
ter for the first time in The Constitution,
as well as the editorial reference thereto.
In discussing il, he took occasion TO say:
~ grateful to see that Mr.. Atkinson SO
fully endorses views concerning the duty
of democracy which have expressed III in

the summer.
The Views Expressed.

of all others, [ held that the only true test
of democracy was the national platform.

II IS Il cause OF colSfSttuldtiOl therefore,
that Mr.. Atkinson so fully repeats my views
as TO national party policy. It removes a
cause for possible debate. We both go be-
fore the people without any differences as
to the duty OF the democratic party. IL we
can agree as heartily upon state issues, the
campaign will be one without VeXatlon.

there is distress amoag the people cannot
be disputed. For its rectlfication there is but
one renedy-and that is through a faithful
adherence to the democratic platform. There
will be distractions, but the duty of every
democrat, and OF all the people who want
relief, is to get firmly on the platform as
the sheet anchor q their safety"

Refunding to the Banks.

The national banks have been paying
the government tax or duty of one dol
lar on the hundred for the money which
they then loan to the unprivileged at
eight to twenty dollars on the hundred.
They now claim they ought not to be
made to pay anything at all. Aud the
Federal circuit court has so decided. If
this decision should be affirmed by the
Supreme Court the national bankers will
get government money free of any charge
whatever, and lend it to you at whatever
price your necessities compel you to pay.
The Supreme Court has been gradually
packed with the attorneys of the corpora
tons and the national banks. They will
probably decide that the one per cent tax
the national banks paid is "unconsti-
tutional" If so it will take many mil
lions of your money to refund the taxes
the banks have paid during the last thirty
years.-Peobie'S Party Paper.

pulled up gold ring. Their will and
pleasure are placed above all law. Some
day this gold ring and gold basis theory
will come i'll conflict with the sharp edge
of the law of congress, when they will be
severed like cotton cord. Ifthe evidence
of the consequences of the money famine
all around us and throughout the world
does not prove there is mot enough gold

claim it, the gold ring would not belive.
BIMETALLIC MEETING IN WASHINGTON.
In the meantime Col A c Fisk, Pres
ident of the Pan American Bimetallic
Association, has issued call for meet
ing in Washington, d. c on May 22d,
of representatives of the United States,
Central and South America and Mexico.
In announcing this call the Watchman
says:
'"This meeting can be made the largest
of its kind ever held in this country, if
reformers and friends of more money will
take hold of it."
These are the countries that produce
the worlds silver and are the proper
powers to determine what disposition
shall be made of it. Let every one attend
this meeting who can possibly do so.

Coxey's Trial.

One of the most farcical trials took place
in the Police Court at Washington, end
ing ON Wednesday, that was ever enacted
at the Capital, or probably anywhere else.
Coxey, Brown and Jones were arraigned
by the police charged with sOalking on the
grass and carrying flags on the capitol
grounds. There did not appear to be any
evidence that Coxey had committed the
shocking crime of being on the grass,
which thousands of people were on, or of
displaying flag. Brown had flag rolled
around a stick, but he did not unfold it
The police did all the damage that was
done. The jury, under instructions from
Judge Miller, returned a verdict of guilty,
but they would have had to disregard the
Judges instruction had they rendered
different.
The trial is most ridiculous affair, but
as Congressman Hudson said in his
speech at the trial, it was not Coxey and
his associates IN crime that were on trial
but the principles they represented. 1t
was evident Cleveland was back of the
affair. Judge Miller's natne was sent in
by the President for another term before
the trial was ended, showing the clover
foot from the White House.
III reality this appearingly small episode
is the first act of plutocracy to crush out
the movement which is manifesting itself
all over the country, but the animus is SO
apparent, that the whole country under-
stands it. Even the plutocrat papers are
SILENT, or condemn the authorities in a
feeble way.
After sending thousands of petitions to
congress, which petitions for aid were not
even read but sent away to some dungeon
IN the basement of the capitol, the people
have commenced to go themselves to ask
congress to do something to relieve the
universal distress. They are met with
armed bands of ruffian police and the
laws are wrested from justice to acts OF
tyranny in the hope of frightening the
plain people. They will not frighten.
Mark that.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1894-05-11

We do not agree with brother Guleck's
reasoning, editor of Peninsula Farmer,
in noticing the Coxey movements
throughout the country. He says:
"The money so expended and the time
so employed has been worse than wasted
as it has been withdrawn from the only
possibly movement which will send men
to Congress who will represent the
peoples party and the Omaha platform. !"
All reform movements that have had
the most powerful influence on society
have been full of fantastic episodes like
that of Coxey. They rouse up and awaken
the great popular mind and heart, as
nothing else will. Might with the same
course of reasoning contend that all the
money and thought expended in publish
ing the hundreds of reform papers is
wasted. All the people should do would
be to elect congressman of the kind who
will represent the people fairly A great
deal of labor and money must be expend.
ed in removing waste earth and rock

The same process in political and moral
affairs has to be submitted to.

So said Burns.
The law to give Sheriff Boyd power
to appoint good working party
man as physician to the jail fell into
the hands of Sheriff White who
has appointed DR.. j. w. Cooper, a
republican. Another law which
made the payment ofliquor licenses
to the county treasurer in place of
to the clerk of the Circuit Court,
who received commission for count
ing the money has miscarried, the
clerk now charging the licensees a
fee for searching the records to as
certain if their bondsmen are o. X.
The "search" however is useless,
as straw bond would answer every
purpose. The Democrat, which is
on the outside throwing stones in
the windows, puts it this way:
''The law passed by the last
Legislature requiring the applicants
for liquor licenses to pay the money
for the license to the County Trea-
surer, instead of to the Clerk of the
Court as heretofore, in order to re-
duce the fees of the Clerk, has
evidently failed to accomplish the
purpose for which it was designed.
Clerk Graham on the LIST of May
took the stand that Section All of
the License Law, makes it incum-
bent upon the applicant to furnish
him reasonable and satisfactory
evidence that his petition and bond
were regular and in compliance
with the law, and as his cOmpensa-
ton had been removed, he could
not furnish this evidence at his own
expense and cOurteOusly but firmly
told each applicant as they offered
their petition of this fact, but agreed
to furnish the necessary evidence
from the records in his Office pro-
vided the applicant would pay for
same at regular rates."
This confusion is all the result of
a half done job. The fee business
should have been abolished entirely
and the offices made salaried offices,
and the public records made free
for the use and information of the
public which pays all. When the
''public" acquires sense enough to
turn both the old moss covered
parties out to grass and put in office
thorough going reformers, these old
abuses, hoary in evil doing, will be
knocked endwise.

story may be accepted: ga well-lznown
merchant of Chemulpo was asked by
one of his native employes-a man of
some education-whether or not he
had ever seen sparrow which had
died natural death. The person
questioned did not remember that he
had. He was then asked how the for
eign servants accounted for such a
phenomenon, for such it was, consid-
ering the vast number of sparrows in
the world and the huge families they
raise every year. The answer to
this query being unsatisfactory, the
Corean gave his explanation, which
was a popular one. He said that dying
sparrows betook themselves to the sea-

senator HarrIs Robbed.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 6.-Senator Harris,
who was billed to speak at Bolivar, Tenn,
yesterday, arrived Sunday night and took
rooms at the Bolivar hotel. About 1
O'Clock he retired, hanging his vest on q
chair in the room. In the pockets of his
vest were gold watch, valued at $1S5,
and $65 in coin. Senator Harris did not
lock the door to his room. When he
arose this morning he found the watch
and money missing. A stranger, who
occupied room above the senator's, is
suspected. The stranger left during the
night without paying his bill.
