growing discomfort OF the masses, and
the gradual loss OF faith in republican
government. Its purpose is, by the
presence and force of numbers imme-
diately menacng the national legislature.
TO coerce congress into the enactment of
laws to which the members of congress
were not pledged by their constituents,
and which they do not deem wise. OF
course, il congress should for moment
yield to their pressure, the members
would be governed in their legislative
acts by force independent OF their popu-
lar sovereignty which they now repre-
sent, and source unknown to the con-
stitution.
THE Coxey movement, whether 1t be
peaceable or wsrlike, is an appeal to force
as O substitute for the ballot and the ulti-
mate result OF it's policy is internecine
war. This movement is the natural out
growth of existing conditions. 1t is the
natural outgrowth Of the monopoly of the
resources Of this country by the few and
consequent wretchedness and helpless
ness of the masses. The movement is
the development Of the supreme test Of

Macauley in his letter to Henry s. Ran.

Interest OF the Whole Country.
Several earnest congressman were
with President Cleveland in Be-
curing his signature to the seigniorage
tentively he framed his reply to the
many pleas. He stood by the side Of his
large desk, one hand resting on it and
spoke to the 10 or 20 earnest men before
him. He spoke of his anxiety to help
the congressman and their people by
such action as would be best for the
whole country. 1t was not q question
about majorities in congress or Of any
other personal or self consideration. He
told them they had his sympathy, and
he earnestly wished he was at liberty to
look at the matter and act solely from
their point of view. In fact, nothing
would please him more than to leave the
matter to be settled by congress. But
congress- had turned it over to him, and
uron him rested the responsibility which
he could not and would not evade. The
performance of his full duty obliged him
to consider, not the interest OF this oil
that section, but the welfare OF the whole
people and that duty he should endeavo
to discharge to the best Of his ability. II
that end he had sought information from
all sources and heard all interests. HI
intended to take all the facts into consid
Grafton and to base his decision upon tn
conviction he should reach as to the in
terests of the whole people. He spok'
feelipgly of the gravity OF the RESPONSE

differences in various localities HI
pointed out some of the features urge'
against the bill. He did not say the,

his statement vas to show he could no
yet reconcile himself to the views the ell
yer men had expressed. Mr.. Clevelan,

A Kentucky GhoAt

Capt. D. L. Hayes, an old river mau.
talking Of Smithland, Ky, one of the
Oldest towns on the Ohio River, said, &C.
cording to the Louisville Courier Journal:
"It's sleepy sort Of town, never had
railroad, and the packets running irreg-
ularly, the most Of them not landing ct
all, although it was once q good river
point and is still the county seat Of good
country. There is bar near there
which has ghost story connected with
it which is of q sensational nature.
Years ago when Smithland supplied the
trade for many miles around and con.
trolled the Cumberland River Traffic,
there was q merchant doing business
there who had daughter. A young
lawyer courted her, but being Of absolute
habits the father objected to his visits.
One day the merchant sold his place Of
business, and from that time to this moth
ing has been heard Of him, his family or
the young lawyer, but when the river ID
low song can be heard coming over the
bar near town, q shot, then all Is silent.
Nothing Of a ghostly nature has ever been
seen, but the song and shot have been
frequently heard"

years, tried coal-oil remedy for chang

through the alligator's head, just behind

it raised itself out OF the water nearly
three feet. Then Miss Mimms shot
again with true aim. The ball took eff
feet just behind the left shoulder. This
was too much for the gator, so it gave
another struggle and turned upon it's
back. The pleasure seekers took it in
tow and landed it at Tocoi.

MORE ELECTRICAL WONDERS.
Young Man From serviA Has Made Sew
eral Startling Discoveries.

eral Startling Disco veries.
A new Edison has appeared in the per-
con Of Nikola Tesla, who has come to the
United States from Servia to work still
greater revolution in the wonderful appli-
cation of electricity. Mr.. Tesla ia only
SO years of age and has made wonderful
discoveries in the department of electro
cal science.
1t has been supposed that ordinary
currents of one or two thousands volts
potential would surely kill, but MIR. Tesla
has been seen receiving through his
hands currents at a potential Of more
than 100000 volts, vibrating million
times per second and manifesting them
selves in dazzling streams of hight
This illustrates the principle that while
currents of lower frequency destroy life,
these are harmless. After such striking
test, which by the way no one has dis
played hurried inclination to repeat,
Mr.. Tesla's body and clothing have con-
tinued for some time to emit fine glim-
mers or halos of splintered light.
In fact an actual flame is produced by
the agitation OF enthusiastically charged
molecules, and the curious spectacle can
be seen OF Puissant, whit ETHEREAL flames
that do not consume anything, bursting
from the ends Of an induction coil as
though it were the bush on holy ground
| w tn such vibration as can he maintained
| by potential of 100000 volts, Mr..
Tesla expects to develop himself in a
complete lambert fire that will leave him
uniniured Such currents as he now uses
would, he says, keep naked man warm
at the north pole, and their use in thera
peutics is but one OF the practical posi-
bilities that has been taken up.
Utilizing similar currents and mech
anism, Mr.. Tesla has demonstrated thu
fact that electric lamps and motors can
not only be m ,de to operate on one wire
instead of using a second wire on thu
ground to complete the circuit, but tina
we can operate them by emitting the cir
cult. Electric vibrations set up at an,
point of the earth may by resonance a
any other spot serve for the transmits
sion of either intelligence or power.
With these impulses or waves dis
charges Mr.. Tesla also opens up an en-
tirely new field of electric lighting. Hi
lamps have no filament as ordinaril,
known, but contains a straight fiber,
