COXEY's FATHER TALKS.
His Boy Jake Always Was Headstrong
and He Has Not Changed,

Thomas Coxey, father OF the renowned
general of the commonweal army, is in
Philadelphia. He arrived Thursday and
will stay two or three days longer He is
entirely opposed to the ''commonwear' idea
ard says that his son was very foolish to
leave good business and start out on such
an enterprise. Mr.. Coxey. senior, is, in
fact, so dead set against the generals
scheme that he refused TO say anything on
the subject to a Philadelphia reporter, who
called hoping to learn something as to how
the general had been brought up Several
relatives and friends of Mr. Coxey were not
so reluctant. however. and they gave their
views and incidentally Mr.. Coxey's also as
TO the movement of Death to interest on
bonds and to its leader, General
Coxey. or Jake" as they call him familiar
Y.
The generals sister. with whom Mr..
Thomas CoXey sojourns, is ashamed of the
general. She said that she did not want
her name mentioned in connection with the
matter. People who know / am his sister
are always asking me nowadays what
l am very tired of the whole matter" The
reporter said that he inferred from that
that the generals relatives are not in love
with the commonweal notion. 81 certainly
am not" she replied with considerable
vigcr. I'VE are ashamed of him, but he
always was a headstrong boy and when he
made up his mind to do a thing he did IL
The generals father is a quiet modest
man of about sixty-five years. "As unas-
Stunning Imam" -. one of his friends saws. .'as
you Will find in seven days walk" He
was born very near Philadelphia at a place
near the Gulf Mills. The general was born
in Pennsylvania too. but they both finally
located near Massillon, and have made a
fair fortune in quarrying. Thomas Coxev
is democrat. but cares very little for poll
tics. In fact, he is just about the opposite
of his son, and he had a hard time bringing
him up, for Jake" he says, was q stirf-
necked. cranky, pig-headed sort of a son.
for so quiet and modest a father and when
Jake got il into his head TO drown the
cat, or SWIM on Sunday, he was very likely
to do II, without waiting to get his dads
consent"
The father, 1t is understood. was opposed
to the commonweal movement from the
first, and after he found that Jake" was
bound TO go, he tried to get him TO leave his
boy. Jesse. at home so that somebody could
take care of the stock farm. But Jake"
had his own way, as he did in the cases of
drowning pussy and going in swimming
Sundays
Thomas Coxey's visit to PHILADELPHIA. as
before mentioned, is not TO get supplies to-
Sether FOR the army, but to visit and to look
after a business venture.

rubbish About Revolution.

observer says: "Can you inform me
as to the meaning of all this insane talk
INDUCED in by a few sensation mongers
in regard to a revolution and dismember-
ment of this great and glorious nation
which is only in the infancy of its history?
1t is all bosh and rot, and not worthy of
serious consideration.
1T Is quite true that many Of us dn-
GLIDING the writer are worried and nerv-
Gus over financial troubles, and some in
actual need of the necessities of life but
there is no reason to believe that any
human being will be permitted to starve
to death in this land of plenty and abund-
ance.
THE great foundation stones of humanity
among men, Intelligence and valor upon
which Uncle Sam built his house. are yet
quite able to support the superstructure
as ever. and. indeed. even more, for II is
my belief that before the day when the
decline and fall of the United States of
America shall be recorded in history that
country Will embrace most of North
America.
so long as men of any nation have due
regard for the rights and feelings of their
fellow creatures, so long as they possess
sufficient mental ability to discern the re-
lation of cause and effect, and so long as
they have the manhood to stand up for
what they conscientiously believe to be
the right. just so long will that nation con-
tinue to prosper Though temporary set
backs may occur) and lead the world in
civilization.
This is fully verified by a research into
history, and these are the factors which
characterize American citizenship and of
which we are justly proud"

Not True Americans,

&C. T. F." referring to comments made
on inspector Byrnes' utterances, writes
Il would say that ]. for one, and I be-
lieve in common with all true Americans
heartily indorse Inspector Byrnes in his
utterances ON the Coxey situation-that
no true American would mix up in such
a begging movement. That the Coxeyites
are all Americans to the manner born
does not enter into it, as that by nc
means makes an American citizen any
more than does a silver spoon in one S
mouth at birth guarantee to the world
that gentleman has been born into it.
l hold that the true American citizen, hav-
ing the interest of his country at heart
Is willing to abide by the laws enacted
by the representatives whom the people
have selected by their votes to represent
them in the legislative halls, believing that
each representative will act according to
his best judgment. Should they fail in their
trust. the citizen surely knows what to do
at the polls It's the will of the majority,
and while it may sometimes fail of its
purpose yet 1t is in the main right, and
the right of ii will eventually prevail
THE American citizen knows that and his
love of honesty and fair play is inherent
in him-as ii is in all true men. Birth nor
politics enters into ii not at all. This being
true. can any man enter into a scheme
that has for its prime object (wharcver
may be said to the contrary notwithstand-
ing) the squeezing of living from his
neighbor? In all this broad land there is
no one wholly dead to the feelings of HUI
manity, and sympathy for the suffering and
distress of the poor has been substantially
manifested during the past winter in every
community, and the stranger at the gate
has not been neglected. But when a body
of Weary Walkers instigated by a few
cranks, undertake to force their presence
