SLAVERY.
Are the Days Of its Cruelty Over:
MUCH MORE SUFFERING FROM 1T
THAN EVER SUPPOSED.
The Greatest Friend and Emancipatori IL
the History of Slavery.

Are the days of slavery. at an END? Leu
us hope that the old time custom OF con-
fining slaves is passed. But there is
another kind of slavery, more fear1ul IN
it's ravages and more far-reachlng
in it's terrible results; it is disease, aud
when a person is once in it's grasp he is
indeed helpless.
And this slavery, which has lasted SO
many thousands of years, is still uncon-
ouered, and all countries are crying Tor
a deliyerer. Of late there has sprnng up
a subject which is interesting the .entire
world.
The propounder Of this new theory is
rapidly proving himself to be the great
est humanitarian and emancipation OF the
sick ever known.
The following letter will explain itself.
1t was written by Mr.. W. Colby, OF
276 Common ST., Lawrence, Mass. He is
a srominent citizen and well-knoWn

The Washington Post of Monday morn ing expressed the general sentiment at the capital regarding the Coxey crusade as follows: 'It may not be an heroic, but 1t Is at least comfortable consum- nation, that the Coxey movement should have dwindled from great moral crusade to 8 cheap, catchpenny show. When Coxey. set out from Massillon, O., the country was given to understand that he proposed to impress the American people with 8 new theory of government and to awe congress into adopting that theory by means of popular demonstration at once tremendous and irresistible. Now, alter some weeks of suspense and more or less apprehensive expectation, we are told that Coxey and his crowd are at last. cor raled in some inclosure just outside of town, and used to stimulate business for for 8 suburban railway. Advertised as prophets and apostles of new and splen- did .dispensation, they turn out to be a collection of freaks and euriosities.

Two western Coxey armies have come to grief, having stolen railway trains and refused to restore them at demand of the civil authorities. The invitations of the military, however, backed by loaded Cat ling guns, have persuaded their surrender. In one case the ringleaders were held and the others liberated, after being taken back to the point of starting. In the other the entire body was arrested. The gangs in each case numbered several hun- dreds.

FRIENDS of the changed tariff law are now willing to so modify the proposed changes as to win over enough of the op- posing democrats to secure it's passage in the senate. One of the necessities in this case is to increase the tariff on woolen goods. The proposed rate on these was B per cent. ad valorem, which is now likely to; be increased to 40 or 45 per cent.

 COxEY's army is encamped in Wash ington, and gate keepers are gathering in 9 cent pieces from those who wish to view the camp from the inside. The ''in- dustrials" were allowed to parade on Penn sylvania Avenue, headed by platoon oi policemen, but the entrance to the capitol grounds were barred by solid phalanx of police. Nevertheless, Coxey entered by another way and attempted to read an address from the steps. Policemen re- moved him without undue force. His aid, Browne, however, jumped his horse over the stone coping into the grounds where horses feet are never permitted to tread, and refusing to leave without force was ciubbed and arrested, and put under $500 bonds. The clubbing was not serious, the authorities using as little severity as pos sible.

Hartford Times: This :. Coxey's army, ? which has been inflated like a blown blad- der into an unreal prominence and im- portance by the. newspapers, is likely to fizzle out, like 3 spricked bladder, in a ridiculous collapse. Everybody in Wash ington is now laughing at the absurd dem onstration. Too much notice has been given to it. Left alone, it collapses in- evitably' If its western sections commit crimes by seizing railroad trains, of course the newspapers will publish the facts 1; but such performances have not, thus far, proved very successful, and are likely to prove still less successful In the future.

@ Mayor Kendrfck, ,-of Springfield, has an- nounced that Colonel John L. Rice will be retained as city marshal. There was an attempt to secure his removal because he released four prisoners held for trial on the ground that the court had not con-- vtcted one charged with similar offense, The mayor found the aldermen were Ito 1 in favor of retaining the marshal, who has made apology to the court But the marshal is only allowed to hold over, the Aayer re-appointing Assistant Marshal Wright and Captain Boecklin. With the exception of the one lapse, Marshal. Rice has been an efficient and reliable officer. He is not likely to make another similar mistake, and, on the whole, most people who have followed the case are glad that he Is retained in office.
