GENERAL COxEY,s PLANS.
VIII Travel Through Entire Country
 In Special Train.

New York, April G.-The Herald to- morrow will say: Jacob Sechter Cox ey, of the Coxey army of 1894, is planning another great national cru sade on new and sensational lines and he may commence operations the pres ent year.
 It all depends on the outcome of his investments. Since he went through bankruptcy two years ago following the failure of the steel mill which he had built at his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. he has been engaged in rctriev- ing his fortunes.
 Mir. Coxey was in New York several days ago and said:
 T am preparing to take up my cam paign of education where I was forced to leave 1t several years ago. I shall conduct this campaign on new and orig inal lines and in way that will at tract the attention of the nation. will travel with an entire train of cars and a tent capable of seating many thousands. This country is becoming ripe for just such a great movement"

Venerable Senator Visits
 White House.
TALKS OF THE REFEREES
Speaks Plainly to President of Ala
 bama Affairs.
He Declares That Scott and Thenn
 son should be Stripped of Theiy Power--satisaed With Re-
BY A. J. sTOrER

w ashington, April -(Special. )-- Senator Pettus was among the Presi- dents callers today. He went to the White House especially to protest Hundley of Huntsville. as the extra Federal judge for Alabama.
 The venerable Senator did not mince words. He told the President Hund- ley was not fit man for the place. and Incidentally condemned tho ref cree system that has been In vogue in Alabama for some years. He also declared that Scott and Thompson should be stripped of the power they are exercising.
 Senator Pettus is much worked up over this case, and although he Is not inclined to talk at length on the subject. here is what he said this af- ternoon.
 There is not only ,strong opposition now to Hund1ey but this opposition will continue when the name has to be sent to the. Senate. It is true that the Democrats have submitted to the President tho names of number of prominent men of that faith, but that is no reason why they oppose the naming of Hundley. They have no objection to the President naming . Republican if he sees fit. but they want the Republican to be a man com potent to fill the position and with out other serious objections.
 Favors MT. Smith.
 There are several Republicans mem tioned whose appointment would he satisfactorily to all classes of people. For instance. there is Mir Smith of Birmingham. son of ex-Governor Will liam H. Smith of our State. Ex-Gov- ernor Smith. although an Alabama man, went into the war between the States as a Federal soldier and fought for the Union throughout His exam pie was almost without parallel in the far South. He went back to his home State at the close of the war and was elected Governor in reconstruction times. Such a history as his would ordinarily result In III feeling. but he was a high-cIass man, and so Is his family.
 'The Republicans in the State are as much opposed to the appointment of Hundley as the Democrats. His only backing Is from Scott and Thompson. the two Republican referees. heard of until recent years"
 If any Alabama Republicans have been here this week Tn the interests of Hundley. they have kept mighty quiet. It Is stated at both the White House and Department of Justice that they have not been to either place.
 District Attorney Roulhac of Birm- fngham has sent to the Department of Justice papers in the case of the Uni ted States versus Powell, one of the alleged Huntsville lynchers. They are also duly signed by Federal Judge Jones and Clerk Allison. and make quite a batch. As is we'll known a writ of error is to be sued out. but the officials at the department are of opinion 1t will be several weeks before the matter will come up here in the Supreme Court.
 An interesting point fin this case is that 1t is the first one to come up under what Is commonly called the Criminal Appeals" act.

ROAST FOR ROOSEVELT Odel1 Hits From The
 Shoulder. DINNER OF THE CALLERS Former Governor Speaks of Presi-
 dent With Fine Sarcasm. Declares that 1t Takes Something More Than to Climb Hills and shoot
 to Make . Brave

New York, April s.-The annual dim ner of the Grillers' Club was held in this city tonight and made the occa- sion for speeches by a number of prom inent New York State persons, includ- ing former Governor Odell. D. Cady Herrick and others.
 The motto of the club is SOC ct tu Um." There were many quips and jokes and humorous songs, Mir. odeil. in the course of a speech, said:
 Every age has its foibles, its va garies. It's strenuous men and times when the voice of a reformer, like that of the grasshopper Is a burden in the land. The time comes when there are fewer diseases than remedies, more charlatans than physicians and more apparent faults than virtues.
 Some men who have become famous encircle themselves within the boun- daries of their own egotism. Give me the simple man fin preference to him whose constant hankering for power and self has distorted his imagination and led him to the belief that his hon esty is the only simon pure article and that all other members of society are cheats, frauds and llarsi
 Tt takes something more than the power to infiict personal or political chastizement. to climb hills and to shoot, to make a brave man. The bravest man Is he who can discern his own fauls and make both confession and reparation for them. Dignity Is the characteristic of q gentleman.
 Responsibility should bring with 1t respect for judgment hut when there Is sacrifice of both dignity and re- sponsibility through utterances that are incompatible with either or both. that man is not a great man who in- dulges, no matter If the ignorant ap- plaud him for these uttsrances.
 That paternalism in government which seeks to take away from the individual the power of initiative and performance which aims to safeguard him in the same manner in which we protect the infant. not only falls in its purpose. but it is positive injury and detrment to the community. ;.
 Tt Is much better for us 10 dis agree with the greatest great and the intelligent. 10 be tenacious of our rights than to n~ like dumb driven cattle, acquiescent because It Is easier to be followersgt thGa leaders; followers of those who, like ourselves, are but | human and liable to error
