We clip the following account of
the Coxey episode at the Capital
from the National Watchman,
(Washington, D. C.) :
The commonweal army made its
parade on the 1st, according to pro
gi amine, attended bv an immense
i crowd and intense excitement.
j More than l."0,000 people witness
ed the parade, and at least 30,000
gat lu red on the Capitol grounds to
see Mr. Coxey present his petition to
I Congress. At every stage of thei
proceedings Mr. Coxey scored a vie
ory. The authorities wr re compell
ed to grant a permit to parade, to
let them have a band and curry their
banners. When Mr. Coxey arrived
at the steps of the Capitol, escorted
by a squad of police, he was met by
the Captain of the Capitol police,
Capt. Austin, Lieut. Amiss, Lieut.
Swindells aud a number of other of
ficials of the police department. Mr.
Coxey was cool and calm, bat in a
moment his v oice became excited as
he addressed the captain of the Cap
itol police.
"Is this the representative of Col.
Bright f" he said.
"I am the captain of the Capitol
police."
"Thn," said Mr. Coxey, "I de
maud the right to deliver an address
to the people. 1 make this demand
in the name of the people of the
American nation, and 1 demand the
assistance and protection of the Cap
itol police while I do so."
A crowd of more than 2o,000 peo
ple was standing around watching
tor the next developments. This
conversation was held in a low tone
of voice, and audible to a few people
only.
"You can't make any address
here," said the captain of the police.

over the .matter and both thv police

We want th;; people of the country

we vouch for its truthfulness: Not a

breaking the laws since the army
has been here. It is said that "00

lid.. lions, strikes and cut-dowim be
twefu laWr and railroads, it may be
interesting to note what had Ken
and can le ilone to remedy tlu-e
evils. We never hear of any strike,
cut-downs or labor troubles on the
ustralia, and why:
Because the government owns and
operates them in the interest of the
people.
Iu Australia you can ride "a dis
tain'e of l,OoO miles across thecoiin--1
tr . M.r ;.f', tirst-claas, too, while
workiugiiit u can ride six miles for V
ceu'.s, twelve miles for 4 cents, thir
ty miles for 10 cents, etc., aud rail
road men rccive 25 to :$o p r t ent
more wages for eight hours of labor
than they arc paid in this country
for ten hours of toil.
In Victoria, where the above rates
preail, the net income from the
roads last vear was sufficient
to pay all the federal tax
es. In Hungruy, where the roads are
state owned, you can ride sis miles
for 1 cent and since the government
bought the roads, wages have doub
led. Belgium tells the same story
fans and freight rates cut
down one-half and wages doub
led. Vet the roads pay a yearly reven
ue to the government of $1,00,
oou. In Germany you can ride four
miles for 1 cent on the government
owned lines, let wages are over
120 per cent higher than they were
w hen the private corporations owned
them, and during the last ten years
the uet profits have increased -11 per
cent. Last year the roads paid the
German government a net profit ot
25,000,000. Workingmen and far
mers, if you like such rates as
these, vote the People's party tick
et. If our goTernment owned the rail
roads we could go to San Francisco
from Boston for $10. Look at the
proof:
Uncle Sam pays the railroads not
quite $275 to transport a loaded pos
tal car from Boston to San Francis
co. A passenger car will carry lifty
passengers, which, at $10 each,
would be $5.00, or a clear protit of
$225 a car, and this, too, after pay
ing 5 per ceut on watered stock,;
which is fully 100 per cent on the
cost of the roads.
To show how our railroads have
watered their stock I point to the
New York Central !t Hudson liiver
Railroad which which, when the
Vanderbilts obtained control in
1809, was capitalized at $19,000,-
000. They at once watered it up to
$90,000,000, more water has been
added until the present capital stock
is $14(5,000,000 all but $15,000,000
being water.
Government ownership would save
the people the gigantic sum of $1,
000,000,000 a year and bring shorter
hours and better pay to the 700,000
railroad employes.

Chicago, April 30. Attorney Gen
eral Maloney has declared the Amer
ican Tobacco Company, a corpora
tion organized under the laws of the
State of New Jersey, to be a trust
doing business in violation of the law
of the State, and will commence pro
ceedings in Chancery against the
concern, its agents and servants, for
the purpose of prohibiting them from
doinc business iu Illinois. Evidence
on this point was submitted to the
Attorney General several nionth.-
ago, but it was not until noon to-day
that his opinion was prepared and
ready for announcement. It is
couched in vigorous language. The
corporations forming the trust are
the Allen & Ginter Co., of Virginia;
W. S. Kimball & Co., of Rochester,
N. Y.; Goodwin & Co., of New York;
W. Dukes, Sons tSc Co of North Caro
lina, and the Kinney Tobacco Co.
The opinion says that this company
is one of the most ingenious, odious,
dangerous and gigantic trusts in
America and that means in th-
world. It has attempted to take the
law into partnership. It assumes a
lesral-suise in order to conceal its ne
farious purposes, so that it might
more conveniently and successfully
carry out its illegal aud vicious ends.
It vetihes the old saying thai
"devils when first formed take pleas
ing shape." The corporation wa
conceived in fraud and habilitated
by a resort to duplicity and conceal
ment. It does not pretend to be
other than a trust, and consequently
does not assure a virture that it has
not. Hence it is more rank and open
than its neighbors, the Standard oil
trust, the whiskey trust, the school
furniture trust and the book trust.
Such a combination, though clothed
in habiliments loaned it by the State
of New Jersey, cannot nevertheless
violate the laws of the State of Illi
nois nor longer impose upon its peo
ple. It is doing business in violation
of the State statutes and is obnoxious
to the common law. It is the duty
of the Attornej'-General to take the
initiative in prohibiting it from
doing business in this State.

unto the end; how when his native
land was plunged in throes of civil
:-trife, he went forth in the front rank
to defend and save her and fought
with valor all her foes; how called to
rule as chief executive in times that
tried men's sou is he ruled so wisely
and so well; how when the war was
over aud the cause was lost, when
down upon his bleeding, prostrate
country came the horde of vampires
from the North to suck the last re

wounds to heal and his loved land to
prosper once again as in the years
gone by; aud how at last, when after
ears of faithful, honest toil, upon
his noble form was laid the icy hand
of death, he bowed his head in meek
submission to His will and yielded
opto God his manly soul! Who

anguish of the peoples' hearts at his

Mi.crcr-Chronu !:
Hear Sir: ln your issue of the

comment ujaui a paragraph, writteu
by me, to the, Wilmington MtsM-u-ger,
and 1 trut you will do me the
justice to grant a ivply to the editor
ial. ,Vou nay that you "do not propose to
discus at this time what the Ibni
ocratic party ban done, it in htvauw
it would la- unfair to the party to
be judged by what has turn done
so tar." on cau not deny that the
1 b'liioci at ic party has Intii iu oer
thiiU-cu months and if it was the
real part v of ii form some remedial
legislation would Imvc turn enacted
before this long lapse of time.
of con isc you "do not projatsc to
discuss," with me what the party
has done, for evety body knows thai
its policy has been of the do-nothing
character, and you can not defend
its non-action and f.n t hlc.-ness to
its pledget!
There art sins of omission just as
grievous as those of coiiuuisMoii, aud
it is now very patent that the Dem
ocratic party won its great victory
ill lS'M on false pleteii.vs.
It stands, however, indicted now
before the bar of public opinion, and
is on trial for its life.
Tin Democratic party has had a
grand opportunity to perpetuate iU
lease of power by rcBtoing prosper
ity to tlx country, bv bettering con-
kings.

Now, Capt, Ashe, in view of the
fact that the .Messenger unjustly ac
cuses nit of desiring ollii c, as a rea
son for my having the Democratic
party, 1 will in ike this proposition
to you ami the .Messenger: If the
party gives relief to the distressed
and sutlcring millions in this coun
try, if it res ores prosperity and hap
piness hy the enactment ol just
laws, if it measures up to its jmihni
bilitid, then I will return to the
fold, and direct my efforts toward
die advancement ot the party.
On the contrary, if it fails to do
these things will you and the .Mes
senger join the People's party and
advocate its chimin!'
This is a fair proposition.
Your parly is now like a ship at sea
without compass or rudd r, aud we
may properly inquire, "When; are
you at?"

We hare had, all told, twenty-six
Senators that is, twenty-six defer
ent individuals wno nave iieoii ."Sena
tor from North Carolina.
From the North East have como
eight, viz: Joluinton, Stone, Branch,
Iredell, Bragg, Rnggs, Pool and
Ransom. Johnston and Iredell were
from the same county 'howau.
Bragg and Ransom were bom in tho
same county, Warrcnfof the Centre),
and appointed from the same coun
ty, Northampton 'of the North Bant).
From what ii called the Centre,
(but more appropriately would be
cidled tin- Noith Centre, no Senator
ever having come from the South
Ceiitiej, we have had seven, viz.:
Hawkins, Turner, Macon, Mangum,
Graham, Haywood, and Badger. Of
these-, Hawkins, Tur-icr and .Macon
r 1 ' 1 - 1
were irom warren, maKing, witu
Bragg and h'ansoin live natives of
of that county out of our twenty
six Senators.
From what is called the North
West, (Guilford, Wilkes, Caswell,
Rockingham. &(:.,) we have had five,
viz: Martin, Franklin, Stokes, Brown
ami lteid.
From what is called the South
East, three, viz: Blood worth,
Strange and Abbott.
From the West, three, viz: Cling
man, Meriimon ami Vance.
It will be seen from the above how
far we have departed from an ap
proximation, even, to fair distribu
tion of Senatorial honors by sections.
Hut the inequality become morn
glaring still when it is remembered
that the Centre and the North Eant
are historically one, being, in effect,
the old Albamarle Colony, and hav
ing had, as such, fifteen of the
twenty-six Senators; whereas the
South East, or Cape Fear section,
which is, in effect, the oldClareudon
Colony, has had but three!
Crush the machine and save the
State.
