VERY MADAT CARL BROWNE
The Coxey Army Leader Very OIL
cious at Bryan's Train.

Canton, o., Aug. 15.-One thing that
is greatly worrying the Democrats
here who managed the Bryan demon
was the way Carl Browne and Allen
Cook, the Populist leaders. attempted
to run things. The out and out Demo-
Gratis objected to the display of the old
commonweal banners at Massilon,
which Coxey and Browne carried to
Washington. Browne, it is said, will
not be allowed to participate in any
more of the silver meetings here and
Cook will have to take a back seat.
What particularly angered the Demo
Gratis was the way Browne stood on the
rear platform of Bryan's car and dis
tributed copies of Coxey's paper pub
Hshed at Massillon.
Mayor Rice of Canton, who was
chairman of the reception committee.
expressed himself as follows on the
subject. He said: IF Carl Browne or
Coxey attempts to address a Bryan
meeting in this county they will be rot
ten egged. We don't propose that these
two cranlIs shall be recognized in this
campaign. We We're scared to death
when Browne went over to OrrvilIe to

would do something that would bring
discredit on the free silver cause. II
was feared he would undertake to
speak from the rear platform of Bry-
ans car at Nassillon and if he had done
so was prepared to catch him by the

Cleveland, Aug. 15.-Three men were

here this evening between a party Of
the Brown company's strikers and sew
eral non-union men who were going

The trouble occurred nearly two
miles from the works at the corner Of

in hiding behind a saloon, attacked
them.
Stones were hurled and Geo. Plumb

and fired. Plumb was then shot, as he

The two historic enemies Of labor,s she

cried, even the English have reached
the conclusion that Queen Victoria in
stead of being made of very uncommon
clay, is made of the very commonest
mud. And their newspapers dare to
criticise her dissolute pauper son, the
Prince of Wales
She did not say that gunpowder
would have anything to do with the
abolition of the arlstocracy of gold and
its slaves of debt" but prescribed free
silver as the cure-all. She laid particu-
lar stress on this catch phrase, The
double paddock on the chains of debt"
She thought it good.
Law she said, has become the rec
ognition of the strongest. Law is the
method by which people are robbed the
silver of the constitution struck down
and the gold of Great Britain set up.
People used to be robbed by brute
force. The Daltons, the James boys
and the Younger brothers were the
most successful, but they did not take
enough. If they had taken more they
might have built a college as Rookie
Teller has done or they might have
served in the senate with Old Robber
John Sherman.
But the thieves employ cunning
now instead of brute force. They stand
in the highways of progress and ac-
cumulate fabulous fortunes and then
purchase legislation to enslave their
fellow men.

A e'STAR" IDEA.
Topeka May be the Mother of Won
derful Style of Decoration.

Someone has suggested that DR.. Gut
boris plan of Illuminating the upper
half of the windows along Kansas ave-
nue. by putting in a sheet of perfectly
opaque pasteboard. then cutting out
figures and scrolls in it, similar to the
children's lanterns, can be done on a
magnificent scale.
Suppose the upper window frames
of the entire Seventh street side of
the Central National bank were thus
filed with pasteboard and a large star
a foot across cut into the pasteboard.
Over this paste red tissue paper and
put a candle or electric light behind
each star. The effect would be that
the whole side of the building was COW
cred with large red stars.

and it appears it was a lucky meeting
for the Norwegian explorer, as the lat

because Dr. Nansen's two chrOnome-

but probably impossible.
