Breckenridge intends to con-
duct his own campaign for Con-
gress. He says, "It is my pur-
pose to still be of use to my
district and state in a legislative
capacity, Notwithstanding the

knowledge and ask no one to
condone, American people have
always been generous and fair
We suppose he takes as his cri-
terion some of the men now oc-
cupying the high positions, to
which they have been raised by
the leniency of our citizens.
Never before, in the history of
the nation, have such disgusting
details of immortality been
brought so clearly and forcibly
before us. Is it not time that
the American people, with their
natural aptitude for making re-
forms, should weed out all such
from among the nations lawgiv-
ers?

on Finance to report a bill for
the repeal Of the tax on state
bank currency must also be
classed as a play for record, as
Mr.. Gordon kntw when it was
offered that it would be referred
e the Finance committee, a
majority of the members of
which are OPPOSED tofrepealing
this taxi unless some Of them
have undergone a recent change
Of mind on the subject, which.
isn't probable.
Representative straus, of New
York, has introduced one Of those
bills which sound SO nice and
which everybody knows would
not be practicable, even if enact
I'd into a law, which this one
will never be. It prohibits per-
sonal applications for federal
positions either to any Senator,
Representative or federal official.
Senator's ard Representatives are
very fond Of complaining of the
aumber of applications made to
Them for help to get positions, |
but it is doubtful whether twen-
ty of the whole four hundred-odd
of them would willingly give up
heir supposed "pull'-it's a
considerable stretch of the imag-
nation to even suppose it of
some OF them--upon the officials
who dispense patronage, because
It is their principal hold upon
'he party machine upon which
hey rely to send them back to
Congress.

The Coxey movement, taken in
connection with the strikes that
prevail throughout the country,
is assuming dangerous porpor-
tions. 1t now looks as though
we are standing on the verge of
a revolution, 1t cannot be de-
MED that the widespread discon-
tent which prevails is an omen
of no pleasant aspect. A dis
play of the highest statesman
ship will be necessary to the
restoration of general satisfac-
ton.

From our regular correspondent.
Washington Letter,
WAsHINsToN, April 27, 1894.

! 4
have been sent from Washing
ton concerning the intentions O.
the authorities TOWARDS Coxey's
army of the coming Of which
there is no longer any doubt.
that your correspondent has as
certained and presents herewith
exactly what those intentions
are, There is no element of SEN
sation about tie matter, Cox
ey's army has nothing to fea,
from the Washington officials SO
long as its members comply with
the law, as all other organiza
tions are required to do. No
organization, local or visiting
can parade the streets without a
| permit, but there will be no diff
dculty in Coxey's army getting
that permit. 1T cannot as an or
ganization march upon any parl
OF the Capitol grounds without
special permission from Con
gress, nor can any other organ
ization, because Of a law against
it; but it can march to the Capi
tol grounds, break ranks and 90
into the Capitol as individuals,
just as was done on Saturday
by about 1000 OF the National
Workingmen's Protective Tariff
League, who came here to pro-
test against the passage of the
tariff bill. They cannot present
their petition to Congress in
person, but they can have it pre-
sented and as many of them as
the House and Senate galleries
will seat can hear them present
ed. In short, the authorities
have no intention of treating |
Coxey's army in any manner
different from the treatment they |
they usually give to any body of
men coming here, and no unus
ual preparations have been made
in the expectation of trouble,
simply because no trouble is ex-
pected. | am aware that this
differs widely from the sensa-
tional statements sent out, but
it is the plain unvarnished truth.
Coxey's army will not be well
come, but it will not be interfer-
ed with, unless it's members
the law.
There is going to be some live
ly legislating for a record on
silver as soon as the House can
get the regular appropriation
bills out of the way. There are
a number of members in the
House who voted last August
for the repeal Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver law
who are anxious to put them
selves on record before the Con-
gressional nominating conyen-
tons are held in their districts
by voting for a straight free
coinage bill, and, strange to say,
the men who stuck to silver in
the memorable fight at the ex-
ira session are going to help
them to do it. The present
programme is to report a free
coinage bill to the House as soon
the appropriations are disposed
Of and to rush it through with
as little talk as possible. OF
course everybody knows that no
dill favorable to silver can be-
come a law while Mr.. Cleveland
is President, unless it can get a
two-thirds vote in both House
and Senate, but vote for a free
coinage bill will square great
many Representatives with their
silver constituents, and that is
all that is expected to come out
of this programme.

For long time Wheeling people did
not seem inclined to make their homes
in the suburbs, but OF late years the
charms OF the beautiful locations along
the National road east OF the city, sup
plemented by tho prompt aud satisfac-
tory service OF the Elm Grove motor
line, have attracted many of our bost
people. So many have made their
homes in that region that not many de-
sirable country residences or building
sites can now be bought. Perhaps the
most eligible property Of all, however,
the Russell cottage aud lots, are to be
sold at public sale Saturday morn
ing, as may be seen by reference to the
advertisement in another column. In
beauty OF situation and convenience Of
access this property is unequalled.

Last night the committee OF the
Young Mems Republican Escort club
having in charge the trip OF the club
and its friends to the big Republican
jollification in Pittsburgh Saturday,
held well attended meeting and con-
cluded the arrangements with the Balti-
more & Ohio road for the transporta-
ton OF the club to the Smoky City.
Early in the week it was announced
that the special train would leave at s
o'clock, but lastevening upon tho repre-
sensations Of business men it was do
cided to have the departure take place
at 3:45. This will allow many business
men and clerks the opportunity to 60
along who would be unable to leave the
city at 8 o'clock.
The committee accepted the bid OF
the Meister band aud contract was
closed with that organization. The full
band will 90 with the club. The special
train will arrive in Pittsburgh at $3.50
p. m. Tickets will be good to return to
Wheeling on all regular trains up to the
following Monday night. Shortly after
midnight q special train will carry
homo all who desire to return alter the
demonstration.
This evening the club will meet at it's
quarters in the Odd Fellows block
when the committees will make their
reports, which will be approved by the
club. 1t is requested that all members
who intend to 90 to Pittsburgh be Oh
hand. After the business meeting the
officers Of the marching division will
hold school OF instruction in march
ing tactics.
The club invites the Republicans OF
Martins Ferry, Bellaire, Bridgeport,
Benwood and other surrounding towns,
also the organizations on the South
Side, to provide themselves with canes,
plug hats and black coats, and accom-
pany them on the special train.
The prospects are that Wheeling will
be the best represented outside COM
nunity in the Pittsburgh parade Of Sat-
