Th VOLUME XV. The Populists in congress go right on voting with' the Democrats on every proposition where party lines are drawn. The P-ll-rd Br-ck-nr-dg-ease will soon be nothing but a putrid reminis cence, but the silver-tongued's alleged soul will probably still go mashing on. Just now David Bennett Hill is re ceiving the hearty curses of the cuckoo Democrats, but the time is not far dis tant when his predictions will receive full vindication. The new administration in Yankton tnreatens to raise the saloon ''license1' in that town from $30 to $K0 or $75 a month. The next thing to do to en force such a provision. The death of David Dudley Field re moves another member of one of the most remarkable families in all that goes to make up intellectual, moral and com mercial citizenship that this country has ever known. If some satisfactory and equitable decision involving the relations of capi tal and labor are not evolved from the daily mass of judicial deliberations a iarge amount of legal grey matter will have gone to waste. With the Democratic house reluct antly but surely coming around to count 1 a quorum and with Senator Hill openly endorsing the plan in the senate, ex Czar Reed has a right to lean back in his capacious seat and quietly chuckle. The patriotic and self sacrificing Buchanan disclaims all ambition to be a candidate for governor or anything else on the state ticket. If-*he had made ,i this good resolution several years ago he might still be a happy member of the Republican party. The newspapers are entitled to what ever of responsibility attaches to the success of the so-called Coxey demon stration. Had the movement not been magnified by the press and advertised so thoroughly, it would have, died be fore it got outside the limits of Ohio. Sioux City Tribune: Mrs. [Helenl Gougar says that the reason Mrs. [J. Ellen] Foster left the Prohibition party *. to join the Republican party was "to secure from President Harrison an office for a husband who had only busi ness sense enough to carry a traveling bag for her." Mr. Gougar seems to have had a greater degree of- sense. He knew enough to.die early in the game. It occurs to us that the Democrats of Yankton are unreasonable kickers. They made a great fuss because Hughes East, an Indiana carpet badger, was given a good appointment from their town, and since then he has been one of the President's confidential advisers about South Dakota appointments. Now they are protesting against the appointment of another outsider to be postmaster, but this man has the back} ing of this same smooth East and their kicks will avail nothing. It doesn't pay to kick against the pricks. It is quite interesting to see the usu ally philosophical and complacent edi tor of the Sioux Falls Press peel his linen and wade into the belligerent Buohanan, who is evidently aching for a scrap himself. There can only be •one outcome for "Buck" t. is politically vulnerable at every joint in his armor, but it will a mighty lively engage ment while it lasts. Meanwhile the mephistophelian Loucks looks on with subtle chuckle pervading his whole frame, not that he loves "Cal" but he .-distrusts his newborn rival for Pop leadership. Chivalrous Henry Watterson of the •rf Louisville Courier-Journal takes ex ception to Col. Phil Thompson's recent plea In the Breckenridge case in the following indignant ffishion: When the deliberate assertion is made that all men are roues, whose crime only consists in discovery, an in dignant protest will go up from the homes of America, where conjugal love and loyalty have thousands and ,, thousands of sacred altars, and from as many thousands of men whose lives are manly and wholesome, because deep in their hearts is that ennobling rever ie ence for true womanhood and susten ance of true manhood. Loucks has been doing some figuring ion the possibilities of fusion, and his virtuous stand against it is easily ex plained. He says of the 1892 returns: For governor the vote was Republi can, 33,414 Populist, 22,524 Democrat ic, 14,472. It would practically require the solid, united vote of the Populists and Demo crats to elect. It would be very con servatlve to say that the fusion Demo crate could not deliver two-thirds of their vote. Then how would it stand? Add one third of the" Democratic vote to the Republican and they will have 38,239. Now add the balance to our vote and we would have 32,172.. CQXEY1TES FIGHT. Becruits For Kelly's Army Have A Bound With Train Hands at Crowell, Neb. One of Them Fractured the Condne tor'i Skull With a Glass Insulator. The Men Jailed at Fremont by the Authorities—Kelly ComDlains of Bad Faith. OMAHA, April 18.—Kelly's occidental army of industrials is still encamped on the Chautauqua gronnds, five miles east of Council Bluffs. Instead of finding a train of box cars ready to convey the soldiers on their way east, they found that they had been tricked for the sole purpose of getting them to break camp and leave Council Bluffs. The officers of the army are very bitter over what they call the bad faith shown by the officials of Council Bluffs andPottawat tomie county. Fonyht With Trainmen, t' The only violence which has thus far been reported as a result of the presence of Kelly's army is reported from Crowell, on the Elkhorn road. Ten re cruits from the Black Hills, on the way to join Kelly's command, were found riding in an empty box car. The train crew attempted to throw off the men, when a vicious fight was precipitated. Conductor Brown engaged one of the men and used him up badly, when he picked up a glass insulator and hurled it at the conductor, striking him on the forehead and fracturing his skull. The brakemen were also, badly' handled. West Point authorities captured the men. The fight having occured in Dodge county, Sheriff Milliken was telegraphed for and took the prisoners to Fremont. Coxeylta* Burn Cm, DENVER, April 18.—A detachment of Grayson's Colorado regiment of Coxey'a army seized a line of box oars in the Burlington and Missouri yards just north of here and, driving off the watch man, intended to force the railroad to haul them east. This not being dene several empty cars were set on fire early in the morning, but the fire was put out. At noon the cars were again dis covered burning and 30 were destroyed. IOWA CROP BULLETIN.

IDLE CALIFORNIA MONEY. Fifteen Millions In San Franelseo For Whloh There No 11M. SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.—There is 115,000,000 lying idle in the San Fran cisco commercial banks—money for which the bankers can find no use. This is said to be the largest surplus that has been known for many years and it is still growing. The banks do not like it, as they prefer to hold good interest bearing securities instead of gold coin, which does not pay rent for the vault it occupies. This money is offered for loan as low as 4 per cent on first class security, but all collateral is scrutinized more closely than was the case a year ago, and unless it is gilt edged the money is hardly loaned at any rate. i*j Harvard Observatory at Flifitafl FLAGSTAFF, A. T., April 18.—Profes sor A. E. Douglass, who has been in Arizona for several weeks past looking for a point to establish a branch of the Harvard observatory, has found the atmospherical conditions here the best in the territory for the purpose.

Unique Celebration or tlie New Maaaaefcv setta Holiday. BOSTON, April 18. —A unique celebra tion of the new holiday (April 19) has been arranged by the towns of Medford, Arlington and Lexington, in the shape of a reproduction of the ride of Paul Revere. It will take place Wednesday night, and will adhere as closely to his torical accuracy as shall be consistent With picturesque effect. A horseman will ride from Medford to do his beet to arouse the inmates of every house on the route. Inasmuch as Medford was the first place at which Severe really aroused anyone,it has been deemed advis able not to begin ride from Charleston. This modern Paul Revere will there fore start from a point just outside of Medford, and Tiding in will carry the alarm to the old royal house where the people will be waiting, all ready to be aroused. From this point signals will be given for the beginning of the cele bration. Along the route Illumination* and Fireworks will light up the road to Arlington where Cooper's tavern will be alarmed, satutes will be fired and the Medford programme will be substantially repro duced. From Arlington to Lexington the road is for the moat part lonely, and there will probably be but llttlecelebra tion, but in Lexington an enthusiastic welcome has been promised the rider. The ride will close at the old Hancock house on the Bedford road, and as a fitting end the scene of 119 years ago will be reproduced—the challenge, the caution of the sentry and the rousing of the house. A young lady of Lexington will enact the part of Dorothy Quincy and there will be probably a Hancock and an Adams.
