TRYsAGAIN.


The alchemist or American politics Is
at 1t again. Gen. TCoxey, OF Ohio, is en-
gagged in a new effort to discover the
elixir of law, which, mixed in the So
cial system Of today, will transmute
the dross of existence into the gold of
lire. 1t seems: almost impossible to be-
leVe that man who wears his cap
with such rakish tilt and jingles his
heels with sos merry zest can take
himself seriously, and yet it is quite
possible thatn he is in earnest. He
has cruelty left the Populist party to
work out it's own destruction, and now
is focking by himself So serious a
step speaks the sincerity of the pur-
pose In the mind of the refOrmer He
is certain that somewhere there exists
method Of wiping out poverty and
distress, of making every one rich and
happy without costing anybody any
thing. The only problem is to find the
method. He is willing to undertake the
task himself, and the result is the new
Coxey party, born at st. Louis, which
already has the vagaries of Populism
and the inconsistencies of Republican
Ism on its conscience. The new politi
cal organization is what might have
been expected from a man who in the
wide field covered by the Peoples
party, could find no place to pitch his
houses filled with grain and the basis
OF currency redeemable in wheat,
the free coinage of silver and the WHIP
ing, out of property rights fall far short
of Mr.. Coxey's ideas of what is right
and proper. With all the silver in the
world coined there might not be enough
to supply the demand Free printing
of paper is the thing, and it is the
basic principle of the new party, which
Mr.. Coxey has. hurled at the people.
There is one fatal weakness in the
project. Non-interest-beari bonds.
redeemable innthe sweet bye and bye,
are all very well as far as they go, and
they can be made to go a good way, for
the volume is dependent only on the
press capacity of the nation; but bonds
idle in treasury vaults are Of very lit
tie use to the plain people. Another
step was necessary, but Mr.. Coxey took
the wrong direction. People who want
Mr.. Coxeys bonds must work for them.
Just how much work must be done per
bond is not certain; but the task, no
matter how small, is too great Mr..
Coxey will never be able to convince
his followers, and he will have follow
ers in plenty for a time, that they
should not draw their bonds without
the intervention of road-making or
work on public buildings The work
is the fly in the ointment which Mr..
Coxey offers. Why the necessity for
work when bonds can be printed till
every man has enough to start a ma
tfonal bank? One can get the money
Of today by working for it. If the bond
idea is all right, the work postscript is
superfiuous. II the work is necessary.
there might as we'll be no bonds. It is
sad to contemplate a failure, especially
when the happiness Of the human race
is at stake, but the indications are
that Mr.. Coxey will have to start UP
his fire, get out his crucible, go through
his lamentations and try again.

A NEW AND NOVEL LEG.
An Artificial Continuance With n
Heel and Ankle Movement

A European experimenter liz produced an
artificial leg. 1t as nearly resembles human
member as any that can be devised, says
the New York Journal
This artificial leg IS a curious continuance
of hinges, screws aud elastic bands. Extend
ing downward from about what in the human
leg is the ankle, to a point midway between
the heel and the iIstep. are two steel rods,
placed one in front Of the other.
One rests on a sort of roller hinge, and al
lows the foot to givs - bend with each step.
The other serves the purpose of bringing the
foot back into place after the step is taken
Any lateral movement of these rods is pre-
vented by the sides Of the slot through which
they move "A screw and a nut at the top
of the rod also prevent the rod from turn
ing and thus giving trouble in walking. An
artificial heel tendon is placed within the foot.

SIGNED 1T WHILE DRUNK.
Now, After Several Years Interim, He
Wants His Property Back.

Patrick NJ. Barrett, of the South Side,
through his attorneys, Quinnan &c
Donahoe, yesterday began an action in
equity to recover from his children his
store property on South Washington
avenue, which he alleges he was in
duced to sign away through fraudulent
Misrepresentation made to him while
he was on a protracted spree.
The property in question comprises
a lot valued at $4,000 and store build
ing and residence worth about as much
more. In March, 1892 he alleges, he
was induced by Katie Gaughan, man
ager of his store, to sign q conveyance
of the said premises to his son, Patrick
S. Barrett. He was intoxicated at the
time, he AYERS, and was not cognizant
of the terms of the instrument to which
he offered his signature; further than
that, it was represented to him by
Katie Gaughan that it was to avoid any
possible reckless, foolish or wasteful
disposition of the property, that might
result from his drinking habit; and
that as soon as he should again become
temperate the property would be recon-
veyed to him.
In March, 1892, he further alleges,
Patrick S. Barrett, his son, executed
a deed of trust, for the property in
question, to his several children, Pat
rick S., Joseph, John, Mary, Katie,
Andrew and Marcella Barrett. There
was balance of about one-third of the
purchase money due on the property
when it was conveyed to his son, but
this the plaintiff has since paid. Now,
although he has taken the Kelley cure
and for three wears has NOT tnIIcbad q
drop of intoxicants, his children refuse
to give back his property and he wants
court to compel them to relnquish it..

KANE'S CONDITION UNCHANGED.
Victim of the Nay Aug Park Accident
Not Improved.

James Kane, the young man who was
so seriously hurt by falling from a
swing at Nay Aug park Sunday after
noon, is still at the hospital and at
late hour last night his condition was
not much improved.
The hospital physicians are certain
that the skull at the point where Kane's
head struck the ground is not frac-
tured, but it is feared that the severe
shock may have injured the brain on
the opposite side of the head, as is
sometimes the case with such injuries.
The best to be said of Kane's condition
is that he is no worse.
In,regard to the delay in the arrival
of the ambulance at the park, the mat
ter is explained by the fact that Patrol
man Jones, who was at police head
quarters, did not send in the call until
after $50 o'clock, or an hour after the
accident.
The boy who gave the information at
police headquarters in his excitement
said that the man was dead. PATROL
man Jones thoughtfully sent for Raub's
undertaking wagon and the message
for the hospital ambulance was not
sent in until after Raub's wagon had
come back from the park, the driver
informing police headquarters that
Kane was not dead.

DAVIS THEATER OPENED.
Great Crowds Mark the Opening Per-
formnnces YESTERDAY.

George f.. Davis cosy theater, on
Linden street, after four months of
darkness, opened its theatrical sea-
son yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of the largest assemblage
that has ever paid its respects
to the house. 1t was a performance
free to ladies'" and the remarkable
response was doubly encouraging to
the management as a proof that the
good character of the house, which
Mr.. Davis has so conscientiously main
tanned, is appreciated by the gentle
sex. There was not a dozen men in
the crowd of at least 1,50O people, and
hundreds were turned away.
The bill was Love and Pride" n
pretty drama in three acts, introducing
Oppenheimer's comedians, who will
play here for a week. The cast includ-
ed the very clever Oracle Emmett
stalwart Jack Fowler, Eileen Moretta,
who is good emotional actress, and
others. Specialities, and good ones at
that, We're given by Miss Emmett, Har-
ry Lyons, imitator of noisy things, and
a child, Little Isabelle.
The latter charmed her big audience
with very clever portrayals of Shakes
pearian characters. She also sings
sweetly.
Taking ii generally the company is a
strong one. Last nights performance
pleased another large audience. This
afternoon and evening the same drama
will be given.
