Another Commonweal Army.
TFrom the Denver Post.1


1t caused conjecture from the depot
to the capitol. When it appeared on
the streets this morning it was at first
thought to be a midnight lunch wagon
on a career of dissipation. 1t was a pic
turesque outfit and was made up of
contrasts.
It consisted of an imitation log cabin
on wheels, drawn by two black Ken
lucky thoroughbreds. On the drivers
seat sat Carl Browne, who was Gen
eraI' COxey's secretary of war and mill
itary board during the march of the
commonweal army to Washington in
1894. Beside Browne sat his wife, who
is Coxey's daughter.
Browne was in Colorado in 1892 as a
POpuliSt campaign orator, but returns
to the state in the role of an ordained
preacher.
Brownies dress is as picturesque as
some of his ideas are unpopular. He
wears an Immaculate white shirt with
standing collar, black trousers and q
black leather coat with long fringe. As
he drove into the city he was followed
to the city hall by quite a crowd of
people who were attracted by the cur
iOus appearance of the outfit. While at
the city hall he was given permission
by Chief Farley to hold meetings on the
streets of the city, and Carl Browne
said that he might start from Denver
in a short time on another march on
Washington. When he left Wichita,
Kan, last month, he said, it was for
the purpose of organizing another COM
monweal army to be known as 'sov-
ereign citizens of the United States of
America"
ct was my original intention" said
Carl Browne. Ito organize branches of
the army clear to the Pacific coast and
start on the march in 1901 in the event
Bryan is elected president next year
but so many of those interested in the
project have raised objections to the
delay that we may make the march
this fall as to arrive in Washington
about the time congress conVeneS and
demand that antitrust legislation be
enacted. During the past two weeks I
have been in Colorado Springs and Pu-
eb1O agitating against the trusts in
general and the sInelter trust in par
ticular."
Brownies plans while in Denver are
only partially complete. This evening,
at the corner of Sixteenth and Arapa-
hoe streets, he will speak on How 1
Got On and Off the Sacred Grass at
Washington
Tomorrow afternoon he will preach at
the corner of Twenty third and Weltou
streets. His text will be taken from the
thirteenth chapter of Revelations. Dur
ing his sermons Browne omits the in
vocation.

course" he explains, there will be

about the necessity for sovereign citi-
zens to march again to Washington

Washington, Aug. 24.-Secretary of War
Root has returned to the city from his
visit to the president at Lake Champlain.
The secretary was reticent in speaking
for publication of his conference with the
president. The matters discussed, he said,
were such as ordinarily would be taken
up at a. cabinet meeting and involved no
great departures from the policy already
in force respecting the Philippines.

made to the reporters. He was determin-

the twenty regiments of volunteers now
being recruited shall eat his Christmas
was brought out by a reference to the
published report that ten of these regi-
ments were to be held in the United
States as a reserve force.
Regarding the reports that General
Wesley Merritt, who also has been at
Lake Champlain in conference with the
president and his war secretary is to sue
coed General Otis in command of the
troops in the Philippines, Secretary Root
was non-cOmmita1- He evaded all Ques-
any positive statement whatever in re-
gard to the subject.
The Secretary'S attention was called to
reports OF fresh propositions for treating
with the insurgents with a view to a.
peaceful settlement of the war in the
of these, although he expressed himself
as being glad If such solution of the
difficulties could be brought about.
The conditions in Porto Rico are recefv-

noted the fact that approximately SAC, 900

the relief of the distressed islanders.

SEEDS SOWN KANSAS.
IFrom the Chicago Post.I

From the Chicago Post
From 1868 to 1872 were the days when
Kansas grew as no other state ever has
grown. Railroads from the east ex-
plotted the Sunf1OWer state" and
thousands of good people from Indiana
and Ohio hurried to the Missouri river,
which was the end of the eastern lines.
There the agents of the various Kansas
roads met them and presented the
claims of railroad lands in various Sec
lions. These agents were resOurceful
fellows-Ioud, virile, strong; and they
did great business. Perhaps the best
of the lot was Sam Wood, of Garden
City. He used to stand on a box at the
Kansas City station and make speeches
to the crowds of immigrants, and men
harvesting clear across the kaW river
would hear every word he said.
Once when he was most earnest in
declaiming for his particular company
a farmer immigrant asked him: What
shall we live on for the first year? You
say, we can pay down one-tenth, put in
a crop and the first harvest will yield
us money enough to pay all the rest OF
the purchase money. But what shall
we live on while that crop is maturing
and being marketed?"
Catch wild horses replied Sam
Wood, instantly and unblushingly.
why, are there wild hOrSeS?'
There are on my line. I can tell
you for fact, though, that there is not
a single wild horse on the whole of that
desert country owned by the other
companies"
And how many can a man catch in
a day?'
"a good man can lariat nine or ten.
Plenty of men on my line are doing it
day after day in the dull season"
And how much are they worth %
You can sell them for SO head just
as fast as you can break them to sad
die and drive them into cattle car
No wonder Kansas dreams of big
things when that was the seed the ex-
plOiterS planted.

ENGLISH WINDOW GARDENS.

Not long ago l spent several weeks
In summer in the little village Of ket-

pretty custom which it seems to me
might be introduced into this country
that of giving prizes for the most
pleasing windows filled with house
plants.
The houses in Ketton are built of
stone. Almost without exception they
stand close to the street, for the Eng.
lish gardens are behind the houses, or
behind high walls, and SO the quaint
lead-sashed windows are SO near the
sidewalks that the flowers which fill
them show to the best advantage.

competition should include only one
window in q house, thus putting the
occupant of the smallest house on fair
footing with her more prosperous
neighbors, and that the general scheme
of arrangement should be decided or
at least one month before the day sci
for awarding the prizes, and not al
tered during the month. This last con
| dition was to prevent anyone from pro-
curing greenhouse or other plants al
the last moment and making tenn.
porary display. There were three
judges. The year I was there the
judges were the wears wife, another
