A SMALL BUT PEsTIFEROUs DEMA-
GOGUE.

-
If there were any sort Of a comparison
instituted between George William Cooper,
OF the Fifth congressional district, and the
rest of his Democratic colleagues he would
unanimously be declared the most pestifer-
Gus little demagogue in the delegation. He
is nothing else than such a demagogue.
Just now, when he hopes to be able to Sc
cure a reelection by playing fast and
loose. he Is advertising his damagogy of
the insectiferous variety. To win the favor
of the President and thereby become the
coed loudly for the repeal Of the Sherman
silver purchase act Before the extra ses-
sion Mr.. Cooper loudly declared for the re-
peal. and by his activity got himself much
advertised as a repeater and doubtless got
his return in postofice. But Mfr. Cooper
had always been a free coinage advocate
on the stump and a denouncer of the gold
bug. He and like demagogues have con-
WINGED a large number of Democrats in In
lana that great wealth would be theirs
IL Congress would enact a law changing
fifty or sixty cents worth OF silver bullion
produced by the bonanza mine owners into
a silver dollar for his (the mine owner's)
benefit. Since Mr.. Cooper voted to repeal
the purchase act and practically against
free coinage. many of these Democrats in
the Fifth district nave turned Populists.
Now he is laboring to coax them back to
vote for him. So he has devised a bill
providing for the issue OF about a hun
dred millions OF legal tender paper money,
and is getting himself advertised as push
ing a bill TO increase the volume of paper
money. Last week Mr.. Cooper was solicit
ing support for this measure. this week he
is getting names to a petition for a caucus
to recommend his bill, and next week the
eager little demagogue will be cutting some
other antic to persuade the cheap money
cranks in his district that he has not de-
serted them, and that they must not desert
him.

the silver bullion, silver or coin not issued
in payment of the bullion represented a
dollars worth of silver. What Mr.. Cooper
desires is to issue about s1c0, 00O, 900 Of legal

There will be nothing behind it. The silver

mans book. Patrick Ford, editor Of the
Irish World, for many years prominent
in Irish national affairs, says that Tynan's

President Mcbride is reported as saying
lzing of people by miners has been done IN
defiance of his command, and If persisted
In will lose the striks. He is probably
right In his opinion. With four-fifths Of
the mines closed, a scarcity of coal would
naturally follow that would compel an adj
tustment OF the troubles, and upon a fair
basis. Just now acts of violence are so
occupying the public mind that it does not
consider the merits Of the issue between
the mine operators and miners.

A REBUKE.

According to a Denver dispatch, Rev.
Myron Reed said in a sermon preached
in his church on Sunday evening: THE
deputy sheriff with his Winchester, who.
through pinch of poverty or politics, per-
haDs, or both, has enlisted at $ a day,
does not quite know what he is doing.
The miner upon the barricaded hill has a
deep sense that he was there first. My
heart goes out to him."
About half his audience arose and walked
out of the church at this point to show
their disapproval. They did quite right.
Mr.. Reed. as his friends here well know, is
a man Of great kindness of heart and of
benevolent impulses. but he is also a man
OF unsafe judgment and cratic tendencies.
His natural disposition is to side with the
under dog in any fight, but in his haste
to do this he is apt to lose sight of the
possibility that the under dog may have
been a villainous depredator and deserv-
ing Of punishment. The strikers in Cello

employers. but the way to settle their diff
culties is not by violence or the destruc-
tion of property. L~awlessness, as Mr..
Reed must know. never succeeds in the
long run, and in justifying and defending
such methods he not only encourages the
miners to a course which will be to their
final undoing. but he puts himself in1the
attitude of trying to undermine the fohnda>
tons of a government that he fought to
save. In his zeal to assist fellow-beings
who are in trouble he forgets discretion
and earns the rebuke his congregation has
given him. With Mr.. Reeds ability and
his wide acquaintance he might have an
influence that would go far to offset the
insane folly Of Governor Waite Much to
the regret of his wisest and sincerest
friends, he has seen fit to ally himself
with the lawless elements of society, who

1t is usually the case that men who are
overtaken by justice have the sympathy of
the people in the places where they are
born or have spent their earlier years.
Such people remember the best traits of
the offenders. The Collins furnish a most
marked exception to this rule. In the coun-
ty in which they were raised, and particu-
larly in Richmond, the belief in their guilt
was universal, based largely upon past acts
in the same line by members of the family.
Justice has overtaken them was the utter
ance OF a resident of that city yesterday
when the sentence was announced. In this
city those who have followed the trial were
generally emphatic in expressing the opin-
ion that the sentences of Judge Baker were
just and proportional to their guilt. The
leniency of the Judge to Reed is
ed as much as the sentences pronounced
upon the Coffin brothers. No one exults in
their downfall, but popular sentiment APP
proves their punishment because intelligent
and impartial people believe that such Of
lenses as theirs should be made a warning.
