the reason why the army of the common
veal had moved their camp to the present
quarters was because the action on the part
of the citizens of Hyattsvllle had seriously
affected the wife of the gentleman who had
kindly given them permission to occupy his
place, and that the committee which had
visited Annapolis to see the governor for
the purpose of getting them off the place
had gone there to no purpose. The crowd
which had visited DR.. Rogers house on
Friday night were severely criticised. He
spoke of the kindness of Hyattsville lady

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
VIII you kindly permit me 20 protest
against the rank injustice done TO some OF
the Hyattsville people in your issue OF last
Saturday. The main features OF the pub
lished account are doubtless correct. but
when you state that the community was in
state OF terror that while the women and
children trembled at home the entire male
population marched to Bladensburg 10 make
a hysterical demand. backed by violent
threats, that DIR. Rogers break faith with
Mr.. Coxey and leave the army upon the
highway, you were grossly imposed upon
by your correspondent There are some
women and children who are without fear,
and there were some men who did not Join
in that memorable march to Bladensburg
and back again. 1t is one of the irregular
features Of this unique epoch that the
professed followers OF Him who had
not where to lay His head are
the first to jump with both feet
they are in exactly the same condition. His
tory does but repeat itself. In 1855 John
Rogers was burned at Smithfield for preach
ing the gospel of peace. In 1884 DIR. Rogers
was nearly mobbed at Bladensburg for the
very mildest exhibition of Christian virtue.
He did not feed the hungry. or clothe the
naked. or minister 10 the suffering and the
outcast He but permitted them to sleep in
his woods; and the self-appointed opponents
of true religion were the active leaders in
both cases

sun, i remember to have read In an an
cient work, some copies Of which i know to
be in Hyattsvile at this time, words like
these: "Inasmuch We have done IL unto
one OF the least of these"
CoXey's army is composed of few hum
dred men, who do not propose to overawe
Congress by display OF force. but a arouse
IL by display Of misery. They are merely
sample of the crops produced all over the
United States by legislation. THE tree Is
known by its fruit" They should arouse
intense Indignation in the breast Of every
honest man: but the feeling. instead OF be-
ing directed against the miserable victims
of oppression. should be poured upon those
whose legislative acts have produced Coxey
conditions. and whose utter Indifference 10

intensifying conditions that are already I'M
