CoxEY IN TIE SENATE.

Populist Members Speak for the Com
monwealers.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Senator Pef-
fer stirred up quite hornets nest by
calling up the resolution for the appoint
ment of committee on communications
to receive the petitions of Coxey's army.
He explained that the object of the res
olution was to begin preparations for a
proper reception of the body of men and
to give them every facility to present
their grievance to congress. The senate
was regarded by many as the American
house of lords, and they would have an
opportunity to show it was not out of
touch with the people for appointing a
committee. The country, he said, was
on the verge of trouble, and unless we
are wise and managed affairs with dis
cretion we would regret it in the near
future. The times are ripe for such a
movement, but this is peaceful one by
men coming here to lay their grievances
before congress. Mr.. PETER was followed
by Senator Allen, populist, of Nebraska,
who, while not entirely approving Cox
ey's action, asserted the perfect right OF
Coxey and his followers to come to
Washington if they chose; not only that
but they had right to come into the
capitol and occupy the galleries of the
senate, and it would be unwise on the
part OF the senate to refuse the privi.
lege. They also had right to be heard
and no man, whether senator or citizen
had the right to deny the right.

peddIers FROM, no one knows what ma

some are very impudent, almost forcing

they are wanted or not. They are a
common nuisance and ought to be
looked after.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Johnston lost
their infant son by death. Wednesday,
April 18, 1894. The child had been un-
well for some time with cold, but not
SO bad as to occasion real alarm. They
noticed nothing unusual about it in the
morning, but at about O'Clock it died
in spasm. It was just getting to be
old enough to be great comfort to its
mother and was a very sweet baby.
The bereaved parents have the sympa-
thy of the neigh borhood for their loss.
ssThe child had blossomed fair
And looked SO lovely on its mothers breast,
The source of many hope and many prayer,
Why murmur that it sleeps, when all at
last may rest?

OBITUARY.

In memory of little baby George Laing Johnston
Their little one has gone to rest,
His sufferings all are o er,
Home, sweetly there on Jesus breast
Where pain can harm no more.
A flower was he, indeed too fair,
To grow on earthly ground.
Twas Jesus plucked him from our care,
10 place him in his crown.
Their hearts with anguish sorely bleed
Since darling babys gone.
In prayers submis-iv still we plead,
'1Thy Will not ours be DONE"
From thy loved friends when first thy heart,
was taught by Heaven to flow.
Far. far removed, the ruthless stroke
Surprised and laid thee low.
Like thee cut off in early youth,
And flower of beauty's pride,
Our little friend was with us once,
But now he too has died.
Dark is the DIV elling of the dead
And sad their house of rest
Low lies the head by deaths cold arm,
In awful fold embraced.

From the above it will he seen that
Notwithstanding the intervening war.
in less than Que generation the popu-
lation of the States in question has in
creased in the aggregate 81 per cent,
Florida and Arkansas more than doub-
ling and Texas more than TRIPPING
their respective populations within that
period. Except in the newly settled
Territories of the West this increase is
unparalleled. It even exceeds that of
the North Atlantic division, composed
of the New England States with New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
This division has in recent years enjoyed
prosperity so marked as to arouse a
jealousy in other sections of the Union,
and to provoke charges of special leg
islation in its favor. Yet its popua-
ton has increased only from l0, ,594 26S
in 1860 to II ,3Ol ,545 in 1890, an increase
of 6,S07;277, or only 81 pericent-a rate
I6 per cent less than the average in
crease in the States composing the late
Confederacy.
The valuation placed upon property
for taxation is also in a geneal way a
fair indication of the material coEdi-
ton of a country at the time Of the
assessment.
The following table shows the value
put upon taxable real estate in the
eleven Confederate States for 1870 and
and 1890, the amounts for 1870 being
reduced 20 per cent to bring them to a
coin valuation.

What Every Lover Thinks.

That the maid that be woods is the
fairest
Of all that the solemn stars see;
That her voice is the richest and rarest
Of all that have been or will be;
That her step when she walks is the
lightest-
That her movements are made with
more ease
Than the flags when it mods to the
zephyr,
Or ferns when it bends to the breeze.
That her tresses by far are sleekest
Fer seen since the launch of the ark
And her eyes when she sighs are the
meekest
That ever made mankind their mark
That her brow is the noblest and purest
That Time, the gray scribe, e'er wrote
on,
And her lips when she smiles just the
sweetest
A lovers e'er feasted upon.
That the tenets she holdsare the sound.
Of which this old world ever heard.
And her logical lore the profoundest-
Though others may deem it absurd;
That the songs that she sings are the
dearest
Of gems ever strewed upon earth;
And She of all treasures the grandest
Since treasures and pleasures had
birth.

Mem morized Speeches.
From the Boston Rerald.1

Thomas B. Reed has never shown
that he possessed the remarkable power
of verbal memory that some Of our
public men have had. Consequently it
is not surprising to hear that the speech
be delivered at Old Orchard a week
ago was quite different from the speech
which be had caused to be printed in
advance for the use Of the newspapers.
Probably Mr.. Reed could not deliver
long discourse from memory if be tried
to do it. Few men have this power in
the superlative degree which Roscoe
ConkIing had it. No one e9ualed him
in feats of verbal recitation among our
modern public men. When he pre-
pared a speech of 1900 words with
which to open campaign it was his
habit to have it put in type in advance,
to memorize it, aud then to repeat it
word for word before great audience.
Once he had ''campaign-opener" in
advance in the office, put in type, on
the New York s'Times." The ''Times"
reporter took slips Of the speech to the
Brooklyn Academy of Music, where
the speech was delivered, and followed
the great orator. He discovered that
Mr.. Conkling was letter-perfect in the
recitation, but that he transposed one
passage of considerable length, uttering
il at a later time than be had intended,
yet not altering word, and the speech
was so divided by topics that this was
possible without affecting the force of
the argument with the audience. Mr..
Blaine had no special power Of this
kind, and whenever be spoke at much
length on any formal occasion be al
ways wrote out what he had to say and
read it from manuscript OF from the
type proof. Among the mer now pro-
minent there is no one who excels Mr..
Cleveland in this power of verbal me-
mory. Mr.. Cleveland can prepare a
long address in writing read it over
once and then stand up before an audi
ence and read it without changing
word. Since Mr.. Conkling's time there
has been hardly any one prominent in
public life who has sought to excel in
this wonderful mental accomplish
ment. Probably Mr.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, cal do better at it than any
other man in Congress.

"Why Is He So Irritable!o

This question is often heard and
nearly as often unanswered.
1t is not always remembered, as it
should be, that the occasion of i'll
temper and irritability is often to be
found in the physical condition Of the
persons affected What is the use of
trying to "harmonize' man whose
liver has gone back on him? 1fa man
is tortured with rheumatism, how can
he be expected to he affable and
agreeable? Can a confirmed dyspeptic
be expected to be cheerful and always
ready to tell a funny story? The only
way to remove the difficulty is to get
at the cause. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
impure blood and liver troubles yield
to Hoods SarsapariIla; this is why it is
effective trapquilizer, a peaceful mes
senger, and a preventive of domestic
quarrels.

These largely Increased values IN 1871
above those of 1860 show only in part
the actual increase since the war, but
they show that notwithstanding the
changed methods of labor, the destruc-
tion and upheavals of war, the States
which failed to establish their independ-
ent government have prospered under
the old flag quite as well as any of their
sisters in the Union, and have record
of prosperity in the eleventh census OF
which they may we'll be proud.
Not only in material wealth, but in
the education of its people, have the
States comprising the late Confederacy
made commendable gains.
The education statistics previous to
1880 are not very satisfactory for any
parts of the Union, but the eleventh
census shows expenditures on account
of public common shoots for the States
of the late Confederacy to have been
Sl3,327,S13 for 1890, against So, 649, sos
for 1880. a gain Of more than 100 per
cent in that decade alone.

over of these States have also decreased
in number during the last decade l55,

of population. The percentage of per-
SOUS over 10 years of age unable to read
or write in 1880 was 43, in 1890 but 80,
and this improvement has all been ac-
complished without the aid of public
land grants or other charities.

Population and More than Two Billion

EIouriehing Part Of the Union
r., Upton ia Harper's Weekly1.

RI. K. Upton in Harper's Weekly.
In April, 1868, the so-called Southern
Confederacy yielded to the Union
forces, its surviving officers and men
returning to peaceful ayocatious. For
four years it had maintained an un-
equal struggle, sometimes fierce and at
all times unremlttlDg.
To keep its armies reinforced it had,
as was aptly said, robbed the cradle
and the grave. Not less exhaustive
bad been its drain upon the material
resources of the eleven States of which
it was composed. Failing to obtain
official recognition by foreign coun-
tries, it could not anticipate future
revenues by loans, and thus, without
credit abroad, it necessarily depended
mainly upon its own resources to main
tain its armies and to support the wo-
men and children, the aged and the
helpless, within its borders. The sup
ply afforded was frequently shared
with the invading Union armies,
which were constantly going up and
down throughout the Confederacy,
seeking what they might devour or
destroy. Consequently ct the close of
the contest little of personal estate re-
NAMED in this devastated country, and
of the realty, although the soil was left,
houses had been demolished or burned,
fences appropriated for camp fires by
both armies, and timber used for
bridges and fortifications; everywhere
there were marks OF the ravages
which the terrible cyclone of civil war
had left upon the land.
During the storm the political fabrics
of the several States had also toppled
over, and they must needs be rebuilt.
7 he eutire system Of labor had been
uprooted, and the colored man, the
former laborer, half daZed, was wander
ing idly about, not knowing what 10
do with bis newly found freedom.
Such were the conditions which con-
frouted the ex-soldiers of the Con-
federacy as they reached their homes
IN that pleasant spring month of 1865,
and which presented obstacles hardly
less formidable than had been the armies
of Grant and Sherman.
The ex-soldiers, however, and
evidently all concerned, went to work
with will, and Of the results of their
labor and enterprise the publications
of the eleventh census will bel p to tell.
There is perhaps no surer indication
of the prosperity of country than The
increase of its population. The follow
ing table shows the population Of each
of the States of the late Confederacy in
1850 and 1890, aud the increase therein:

able, but the figures reported show that
from 1860 to 1870, five years after the
war closed, the assessed value of real
estate taxed in the Confederacy had
shrunk SCl3, 1915 This amount rep
resents mainly the assessed value of
buildings, fences and other improve

ably have been Gn coin) about 81 ,054,- :

The amount Of shrinkage in the
valae of personal property during the
period is not so easily sscertained. 1t
must be remembered that in 1860 ac-
cording TO the report Of the eighth CEN
gus, there was oftaxable property in the
Union 3,953,76 persons designated as
''slave population" and differentiated
into "black and mulatto, male and fe-
male" OF this population the late

included for assessment with other per-
sonal property for the census year.
