LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April 80, 1894.

hCdASN AO%
The President and his cabinet have scarce
ly given a thought to the gang now camped
in the SUBURBS Of Washington known as
Coxey's army before its arrival and since
as sCoxey's 6zzle. While few of these men
are what they represent themselves to be
bona fine workingm en- cut Of employment
they have so far proven themselves to be
peaceable and law abiding, thus differing
from the ~so-called industrial armies in
the Northwest, the unlawful acts of which have
been the principal subjects under discussion
at several cabinet meetings. Some OF the
governors of states would not have felt Hat
tered if they could have heard som of the
comments made at these cabinet meetings
upon The manner they have dealt with, or
rather, failed to deal With recent mol law
~lessuess in their states. The President and
cabinet are a unit 10 the determination to
maintain the constitutional power of the
government with Federal troops wherever it
may be necessary.
"Coxey's f~zzle," now encamped as a freak
show at Brightwood race track, just outside
of the city limits, will, unless the programme
of Co1ey, the chief fakir, be changed, march
into the city tomorrow. The gang is not

Gov. Tillman says the Southern Demo-
Gratis aud Popu!ists must unite. and he
claims to be a Democrat, but his Demo
cracy is the merest pretence.
1t would be the best thing that could
happen for the Democratic party in the
South if it could be purged of the
popalist element and especially such
demagogues as Tillmau and Kolb.

liquor is subject to punishment under
the law which declares it unlawful to

be enforced in every town aud city,
until the Legislature meets and takes
action.

these facts the deduction is plain We.

will be given over to the ~paternalists
aud social destructionists. In the place
of Democracy there will be anarchy.
and liberty will be displaced by license.
The people of South Caroliaa, have
had such direct aud terrible proofs Of
the results following the prostitution
of Democratic principles by enemies
that true Democrats should require no
urging to heed the call for organization,
nor arguments to prove the necessity.
If we study the events of the last four
years We see how our principles have
been obscured and debauched by open

and o'clock Tuesday morning the Amer
lean line steamer Paris, Captain Watkins
which arrived here last night from New
York, ran down and probably sank an un

at the time, heavy rain falling. As soon
as the collision occurred the Paris was put
about and search made for the ship
After II time the vessel or a capsized wrock
was reported off the starboard bow, but
sight Of it was lost befare d life boat could
be lowered, Nothing further was seen
though the Paris laid off and searched un
til daylight. The steamer sustained no
damage beyond having portion of her
rail bent and two wircstays broken. Sail.
ors ON the Paris say the sailing vessel
showed signals of distress after the col.
lision, and that screams were heard aboard
of her.
II is stated that a white light was seen
on board the ship three minutes before the
collision, but that no red or green light
was visible until after the steamer had
struck her. Captain Watkins declines tC
make any statement regarding the acci
dent except TO the company officials
