The Coxey commonweal formally opene
its campaign in Washington at Rechabltes'
Hall Saturday night, and big guns, little
guns and guns of various degrees Of bore
reverberated in more or less unison for an
hour and half. Citizen Redstone presided
and opened the meeting with an assurance
Of the peaceful character Of the Coxey cru
sede, which was rather smothered in its ef-
feet by the remarks OF "CoL" T. p. Rob-

shiver as he described the way In which the

Mrs Anna Digges Of Kansas, q colleague
Of Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, also made q

She said nothing had ever been gained by
fighting, and this assertion brought on an
excited colloQuy between the speaker and a
couple Of ex-Union soldiers. who wanted to
know IL the war was a failure In the
skirmish that followed everybody took
part, and Mrs. Digges escaped In the
tumult.
Representatives Coffeen of Wyoming and

for making threats against peaceabIe citi-

Honor for our fallen heroes and
veneration for all who sleep in the
Silent City are taught by the flowers
of Memorial Day. As.we place them
on the graves of our dead, let their
sweet fragrance remind us of their
virtues and not of their frailties.
Thus will we garner sheaves of love
that VII make us more forbearing to
the living and more charitable to the
dead.

An Ola Tramp.

A weather-besten old man who
claimed to be the <King Of Trampe,"
having tramped for fifty years, stroll
ed into the INDEPENDENT Office this
morning and, while musing over the
incidents Of his past life, sat down at
the editorial table and dashed off the
following bit Of poetry: .
THE DIsENCHANTMENT OF AGE.
I'd like to know why this ubiquitous
cry, 49,.
That the hearts of the aged become
stinted and dry,
Life's beauties dissolve. and indif
ference evolve,
And manhood's blithe feelings to cold
ness resolve
I read it in tales,
In biographers' walls,
Through the multiplex volumes of
letters it sails.
IT'S ibelous thought, the cynic
hath wrought,
Who trifed in youth and in age gath
cred naught-
Who laid not in store, wise knowl-
edge and lore,
But danced to the song of that siren
of yore,
Till baffied hope sped,
And the siren had fled,
,- And left him an empty and hoary
old head.
TITS true, there's much sadness and
little of gladness,
AS more we discover LIES follies and
madness,
And witness each friend with the
elements blend,
And learn well to ponder ife's sure
coming end.
Yet philosophy teaches
In its ultimate reaches.
Each atom a place finds in mansions
or riches.
grant that the old in some pas
sions are cold,
Those subjct to barter, to be purch-
ased or sold,
But the true gems of life, possessed
not of strife,
The gems of right thought and won
ders of life.
All, these never pail,
Though we totter and fall,
In the midst of world full of
NORWOOD and gall.

TOO MANY SPARROWS.
The English Bird Is Not Even = Favorite In
His Own Home.

The English Bird Is Not Even . FavOrite In
His Own Home.
1t appears that the detested English
sparrow is by no means general favor
ite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care
fully noted.
In the course of his paper on wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious, in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. c. F. Archibald says: The sparrow
has received an overfiowing measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastic advocates,
there can be little doubt that it deserves
large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon il. The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
delusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried on for its es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay of the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains in the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi-
tion, and when fully matured. At this
last named period quantity of grain Is
wasted by being shaken out on the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed. At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
| live for the greater part of the year in
towns are tempted TO visit the field,
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
"'In gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as we'll as few gooseberries and cher
ries In the most mischievous way, too,
it pulls to pieces the flowers of the
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthus,
hepatica, heartsease, wistaria, the shoots
of pinks and Carnations, the pods of the
| laburnum and the blossom of fruit
trees. Ii also does considerable damage
to beds of young radishes and lettuces,
besides levying toll on the grass seeds
sown ON lawns. On the other band, ii
must be freely admitted that the spar
row does a great deal of good.
| among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long
legs, weevils from peas and beans,
aphides, caterpillGs of various kinds,
housefiies, blue beetles, black beetles
and white butterflies. In some districts
choviss, otherwise known as Maybugs,
occasionally do immense damage, and
at such times sparrows have been seen
| with their mouths crammed full OF
them. The quality of weed seeds which
the sparrow cats must also be placed tC
its credit, for in this way is helps to
suppress such objectionable plants as
charlock, corn bind weed, goosefoot,
knotgrass, buttercup, dandelion, chick
weed and dock. ="

cIRcUMSTANTlAL EVIDENCE.
A Young Lady Who Had Narrow Escape
From Conviction.

from SOnSfctiOn.
"Stories of conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence are rife in the lawbooks
and have afforded the plot of many a
novel;" said J. S. Haberling of New
York. "A very sad case, not of con-
yictinn, hat almost as bad in its results,
occurred in New York recently. A
young lady of refinement, a stranger in
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness in gentleman S family. One of
her pupils, girl l5 years old, lost
diamond ring Ii was found i'll the
desk of the governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last on
the girls hand, but she was hustled off
to the Tombs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed to
the companionship of the most depraved
of her sex. She was taken to court i'll
the Black Maria with negress and n
white woman, both convicted felons, 60
ing to be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called.
exposed to the impudent gaze of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
"When her case was called, the court
appointed lawyer 10 defend her, as she
was penniless The prosecuting witness
and her father told the story of the find
ing of the missing ring. The presump-
ton that the accused had placed it there
was more or less strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner OF
the ring Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or so
before she missed her ring, and the fur
ther fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the accu-or's father apolo-ized, but
the young woman, being Of a highly
| strung and nervous temperament, was
completely prostratCd by her terrible
experience in the TombS. and the i'll
effects will. il is feared. be permanent. =
