Even Coxey's army can not get along
without a mutiny. During Coxey's
temporary absence from the aggregation
Carl Browne, the marshal, and the un.
known, who, before he joined the army
was a medicine fakir, disagreed, and the
men siding with the unknown, Browne
was deposed. When Coxey returned
Browne was restored to command and
the unknown kicked out. Now the un-
known, together with young Coxey, who
sided with the fallen hero, threaten to
organize another army. Thus dissen-
tions reign in the army of peace.

There are several industrial armies,
SO called, on the move in different por-
tions of the West, and as far as numbers
go they amount to much more than the
small body now tramping through Mary
land. But the Western bodies are more
arrogant and insolent. If they are not
furnished all they want to eat they take
it, and small towns are anxious to get
rid of them by securing their passage to
some other point. The movement of
such men over the country in large
bodies is dangerous, and the authorities
should take measures to put stop to it.

The proposition that the mints of this
country shall coin some of our great
piles of silver into Mexican dollars is
unique, and yet it seems to be sensible
and practical, and meets the views of
that acknowledged leader of thought on
financial questions, Senator Sherman. We
have too much silver. The plan proposed
will permit us to get rid of some of it to
China. When China opened her ports to
the trade of the world, the Mexican dollar
was adopted as standard, and the eau
tious Celestials will receive nothing else.
China has no silver mines, and she can
yearly absorb many times more Mexican
dollars than Mexico can produce. Owing
to this fact Mexican dollars are always
at premium in the Chinese trade, and
the Chinese trade has practically no linn
it. In addition these dollars command a
premium in England, because there is a
tremendous demand for them in In
dia. Indeed the plan seems to provide a
very good means of using all our un-
profitable silver. Mexico's permission
is the only thing to be obtained, and in
asmuch as Mexico herself gets "A per
cent out of all the silver coined, and can
not nearly supply the demand, it is hard
to see any good objection she can make.

Were These Things connected9

A lady now living in Virginia has had
two or three experiences Of something like
an intimation of the death OF friends or
relatives. While visiting the house Of her
husbands brother in a historic county Of
southern Virginia several years ago she re-
lated TO her sister-in-iaw at the breakfast
table dream that she had the night be-
fore. II was that her child was lost, and
that she hired carriage to hunt for him.
Remembering the old saying that If you
tell dream before breakfast It will come
true, she said nothing about this dream
until the conversation that followed break
fast, before the family left the table. Her
sister-in-law and two nieces were present,
and the former said "That a bad dream.
I'm glad you didn't tell it before break
fast" The brother Of the dreamer, TO
whom she was very much attached, died
that morning in a distant part of the state.

OUR ALIEN POPULATION.
Facts About the Foreign Element
in the United States.
Nearly One-Seventh of the Total POpula-
ton Natives of Other Lands-How the
Various Countries Are Represented
Foreigners In Great Cities.

The industrial disturbances of the
present summer have made the subject
of the alien population of the country
more than usually prominent in public
and private discussions, and for this
reason some statistics relating to the
subject which have just been pub
lished by the census bureau are of es-
pecial interest just now. In this docu
ment the number of aliens in each
state and county and in each impor-
tant city is given, and also the coun-
tries which gave them birth. 1t is thus
possible to ascertain the foreign born
population of any section of the coun-
try and it's ratio to the total popula-
ton. as well as its character, and from
the mass of tabular matter furnished
some very interesting facts may be
CLEANED.
According to this report. which is. OF course.
for 1890; the aggregate foreign-born population
OF the United States is 92i9,5F. a little more
than ore-seventh OF the total population. OF
these aliens New England. New York. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania hold almost onc-half

the census bureau cans the Northern Central
division-Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Michigan,
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa. Missouri, North
and South Dakota. Nebraska and kansas
have 4,O60lI4, leaving but .30l $50 scattered
throughout the southern and western states.
In all the south. from Delaware to Texas and
Oklahoma, the foreign-born population is only
$40. 346, considerably less than that OF New York
city and in all the states west of Kansas the
total alien population is but 770.910, OF which
California alone has 366.3O9 The following
table shows the foreign-born and the total
population of each state, as well as the per-
centage of aliens in each:
