THE condition of Coxey's army as
it prepared to march across the ALE
ghenies from Uniontown to Cumber-
land is described as of the most dis
tressing character. OF the 200 there
was hardly an overcoat or blanket
among them. In the most unseason-
able attire they were to cross the
mountain ranges in the midst Of
storms Of rain, sleet and snow, over
muddy mountain roads and with only
barns and out-buildings for the nights
rest. Ofcourse under such conditions
many will lose their lives or become
disabled for life. While this is going
on with the men, Coxey and his lieu
tenants travel in buggy or on horse
back, sleep in warm rooms and live
on the fat of the land, the men having
the scant fare of dry bread and oc-
casionally bits of meat or limitations
of coffee. This business has passed
the bounds of the ridiculous burlesque
it first assumed, and is likely to end
in tragedy. The amiable Coxey in
leading his dupes on such FOOLS err
rand as they are engaged in, with the
possible disasterous results in suffer
ing and death, seems to have hom-
icidal vent. He is responsible for all
that may occur. If any way can be
found to punish him under the law
there should be no delay in applying
it. The most woe-begone tramp that
is crawling across the country has a
happy lot compared to Coxey's. dupes.
The motive of the whole business is
noteriety-to advertise himself and
feed a ridiculous vanity.-Pittsburgh

Commissioners OF ID. @. Issue Mani
festo to the Marching Thousands.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The commission
ers OF the District of Columbia took action
today on the impending Coxey invasion. Af-
ter long executive session and consultation
with the attorney for the District, mani
festo was prepared and give out which calls
attention TO the fact that the right of petit
tion does not extend the lengths the Coxey-
ties appear to imagine.
The commissioners appeal, in the interest
of humanity to the good sense and patriot
ism of all those engoged in the proposed de-
monstration, and urged Them to reconsider
their intention to come into the District of
Columbia.
mo possible good can come of such gath
ering," continues the manifesto, land with
out proper preparations or means of subsis-
tence, suffering and ultimate disord r will
ensue. No wrong can be righted, no condi-
tion of labor ameliorated, no remedy for any
existing evil realized by the contemplated
demonstration of physical force. Every
desirable and can be more certainly and ef-
fectively accomplished by ordinary and law
full methods. The commissioners, while in
entire sympathy with all people out of en-
ployment, and having no desire or purpose
to deal harshly with unfortunate but honest
men who seek relief by reasonable and law
full means, are in duty bound to give notice
to those who are tempted under any pretext
to swell the number of unemployed persons
already here, that there is neither work for
them nor means for their maintenance in
the district; that the law does not permit the
soliciting of aims in our streets and forbids
parades, assemblages or orations in the Capt.
tol grounds and the obstruction of any pub
lie grouAds, streets, highways or avenues,
and the approaches to public or private
buildings"

How About Wool?

We heard of Democrat lately that left
the party because the Democrats were gong
to ruin the ,ol industry by putting wool on
the free list. For his benefit and for all those
who are troubled on this subject, and want to
study it. vs. here give the figures on wool
from 1852 to 1893. They are taken from the
statistical abstract of 1S9s, published by the
United States government, and of course
must be taken as correct.
1t covers the price in the eastern markets
of these grades of wool and all from Ohio,
as follows, fine, medium. and coarse. for the
month of January, April, July and October
of each year.
1t is -th the time of all who think tariff
Increases the price of wool, to carefully con-
aider this table, for it covers all the tariffs of
the Republican party as we'll as the free trade
Walker tariff. so called, of the Democratic
party. We hope careful comparison of the
free trade wool from 1852 will be made with
the tariff wool after the war.
The reason we call attention to those pe-
RODS is because they we're times of profound
peace, ole when wool was on the free list,
and one when 1t was on the tariff list. We
are so frequently asked for such showing
as this, and arguments have 30 often to be
met on this matter, tqat we would suggest
that this table bepreserved. It is the report
Of the government and no man can dispute

THE Senate should have passed the
Wilson bill just as it came from the
House within twenty-four hours, or a
few days at the most. The house was
prompt in it's efforts to give the peo-
pie relief from the evil effects of the
Mckinley law, but the same cannot
be said of the Senate. In fact the ac-
tions of the Senate are not satisfac-
tory to the Democrats of Ohio, SO
much so that the central committees
in many counties are being called to-
gether to take action, urging the Sen
ate to pass tariff law upon the lines

adds SO much to the joy of such oc-
casions. Fathers and mothers were
present to give their children their
blessing; affectionate brothers and

many, while the dinner was gotten
up and served by those who knew
how to please people on such occa-
sions. We verify believe that every
heart was made glad. The occasion
was concluded with music and appro-
pirate songs by the bride. May the

as becoming as in their wedding hour
and their days of life as pleasant as

Not the e'splendor found in some,
But a joy and sweetness.
And no doubt mothers thought
And fathers kindly care.

But the BRIDES hand too was there.
And that hand will make the home

And through all the years to come,
May their marriage life be bliss.

HENRY county has had a tremen-
dous tax-rate for two or three years
back, when compared with her sister
counties.-SiOndl.
True, Henry county's tax rate may
have been little higher than some
OF our neighboring counties, but the
Signal is very shy saying anything
about the great diff ference n dupli-
Gates. 1t don't tell the people that the
tax duplicate of Henry county isone OF
the smallest in the State, in fact there
are very few counties in the State
with s1;aller duplicate. While this
is true, our expenses are extraordi-
nary, having the Maumee river to
take care of-which is spanned by
two expensive bridges, and one ferry
tokeep up-with more bridges to take
care of than any Of those "sister
counties which the Signal refers to,
and probably as much ditching to do
as half dozen of these SISTER coun-
tiesn combined.
In mentioning ''sister counties the
Signal no doubt has its eye on Fulton
county, which has a much greater
duplicate than we have, and notwith-
standing its low rate Of oftaxation, rails
ed more money for county purposes
than we did; and still it's county or
ders are going to protest and are not
paid for want of funds. In fact, Full
ton county has scarcely q fund with
money in it.
But why is it the Signal has never
good word for its own county, or
ever gives its officials credit for what
they do for the best interests of the
people2 Because it is blinded by
political prejudice, expecting to be
benefitted,thereby at the expense of
the county. Look out for the fel~
low that befouls his own nest.
