STROM,
THE NEW CRUSADERS.
They Wouldn't Exist if Something
Wasn't the Matter.
THEY ARE ALL CALLED COXEYITES
Tlisosh the Idea hprane l.'p H poo tan.
eoasly In Jlany 1'laeee.
No matter what you may think of
the motive, or the reasoning, or the
probability of ultimate accomplishment
through the new crusade of the so c-. crlisa(jers
ea uoxeyites, you must admit mat tut
movement is an important one, and that
something is out f kilter in this broad
republic. If there wasn't, there would
be no such thm
as Coxeyism. It
wouldn't bo pos
sible. If employ
ment at good
wage3 offered it
self in all parts
of the country,
men could not be
found to march
half way or all
the way across
the continent in
hopes of setting
things to rights.
It doesn't help
matters to say
.that many of the
crusaders are
tramps, and it
coxey ox the Capitol wouldn't affect
steps. the proposition if
they were all tramps, unless indeed it
taado it all the stronger.
If everything were O. K. in the Unit
ed States, there wouldn't be tramps
here.
Of course there might be an occasion
al ' 'old straggler, ' ' as our fathers and
grandfathers used to call the occasional
tramp of antebellum days, but no vast
army of "spinks" and "hoboes" such
as now exists would bo possible if there
were no cause for it. I do not propose
here - and now to discuss the nature or
the origin of the present trouble, for his
tory, is long, and newspaper columns are
short. I may be pardoned, however, I
trust, if I call
tana, with 350. The experiences of the
last named have been quite as interest
ing as ny of his brother leaders, espe
cially his arrest when asking for a train
at St. Paul to carry him east. It was
confidently predicted in many quarters
that the men of each contingent would
cause a deal or
trouble to the au
thorities aa they
marched, but
these predictions
have so far failed
to come true in
the reader's at
tention to the
true starting
point of the "On
to Washington"
move ment. It
was nearly eight
years ago that1
Joseph R. Buch
anan, 'now a
writer of some
what radical pro
clivities, was en
gaged in making

passed. It is quite possible that this
-good conduct has been partly due to the
fact that in -most places supplies of
food and often of clothing have been
freely given, though not always through
sympathy, but rather for the avowed
purpose of hastening forward the "in
dustrial" march That there has been
and is a very considerable amount of
moral support of the movement is, how
ever, true, and it has nowhere been more
plainly manifested than in Denver,
where the women have organized a "re
lief corps," and in Chicago, where Gen
eral Randall organized his forces of over
1,000, with Mrs.
Nile C. Smith,
his daughter, act
ing as the Jeanne
d'Arc of the ar
my. Mrs. Smith
is comparatively
young and, as her
picture shows, of
rather agreeable
personality. It
will be 'remem
bered that Mr.
Coxey ' s daughter
desired to ride in
addresses on the labor movement in Cal
ifornia. Speaking in San Francisco one
night, he dilated upOn the need of legis
lation, as he understood the subject, for
the righting of some of the working
men's wrongs. A man in the audience
who agreed with the speaker cried out:
"That's all true, but what shall we
do now?"
In answering this totally unexpected
question Mr. Buchanan made use of
the term "On to Washington. " Carl
Browne, now Coxey's lieutenant, was
in the crowd. The phrase and the an
swer made a deep impression upon him
and finally bore fruit in his joining his
fortunes with the
Massillon man in
his march to the
City of Magnifi
cent Distances.
It was the good
Or bad fortune
of Horse Breeder
and Quarryman
Coxey to number
among his - ac
quaint ances a
lively young
general, ran'dall, newspaper man
in Massillon, who saw that the starting
of a crusade of the unemployed from
that town in the direction of Washing
ton meant plenty of space for him in
the columna of . the larger journals of
the big cities. It was this young man's
special dispatches and articles that fa
miliarized readers everywhere with Cox
ey's name, and the consequent rendering
of the derivative Coxeyism synonymous
with the leading idea of the present cru
sade has doubtless made it immortal.
Notwithstanding this and the fact
that he reached Washington first, Cox
ey's movement
capitalward was
antedated sever
al days by that
of General Lewis
C Frye, himself
a . workingman,
who started with
his forces from
California. Frye
has been an or
ganizer of labor
unions "off and
on" for several
years, and, it mrs. nile c. smith.
would seem, has had to show far more
executive ability to get his men clear
across the country than had Coxey to
get his smaller contingent over the much
shorter distance between Massillon and
Washington. Frye's army is larger than
Coxey's, and Frye has labored under the
disadvantage of having no money of his
own, but he was not weighted down
with a Field Marshal Browne and his ex
traordinary theories as to reincarnation.
Some of the "armies" from the Pa
cific coast and the Rocky mountain re
gion, aside from Frye's, are in com
mand of General Cantwell, who started
from Tacoma with 1,000 men; General
Shcpprd, who began his march from
Kent, Wash, with 700; General Wayne
his real name is Shrier from Trout
dale, Or., with oOO; Captain Grayson,
hailing from Colorado, with 120; Gen
eral No! an, also from Colorado, with
75; General Carter, from Salt Lakt
City, with 530; General Barker, from
California, assisted by Mrs. Commander
Smith, with 540; Commander Duff,
with 53, and General Hogao, from Men- 000, 000.
GENERAL, hogan,
advance of his "commonwealers, " a'n'd
with his approval, as Mrs. Smith leads
General Randall's, but Mrs. Coxey No. 1
objected, and the young lady was not
in evidence as an "industrian" till the
"commonweal" reached Washington,
when she ran away from her mother and
headed the May day pade along Penn
sylvania avenue. General Randall is a
physician by profession, is 54 yl-ars of
age and was a Greenback man in 1876.
A year afterward he organized the Sov
ereigns of Industry, but he went on the
stump for Blaine in 1880. At one time
ne published a
Greenback paper
in New York, and
in 1886 he was
associate editor
of the Chicago
Express. He is a
master workman
in the Knights of
Labor.
General Charles
F. Kelly, not be
fore mentioned
here, whose ar- general, galvtn.
my is perhaps as important as any in
the field, is a strict disciplinarian and
has had ample opportunity to show his
powers, for mutiny has more than once
broken out in the ranks of his "indus
trians. " He is a young man only 32
is a printer by trade, has been out of
work for some time and is said to eschew
both the weed and the bottle.
General Galvin, who has been more
successful than most of the other lead
ers in securing railroad transportation
for his men, does not believe thoroughly
in Mr. Coxey s
methods and has
a quite different
programme from
that recommend
ed by the Massill
on man to propose
to the national
legislature. "All
we want, " he is
quoted as saying,
"is the govern-
i ' ment to stop seii-
general, Fitzgerald, ing western lands
to foreigners, to irrigate it and to sell
it to American citizens. It would not
cost over $3,000,000 or .$4,000,000."
General M. D. Fitzgerald, who di
vides with Morrison I. Swift the credit
of organizing and commanding the New
England contingent, is a native of Kil
dare, Ireland, 36 years old and a bril
liant talker. Swift is also a young man,
and was born in Ravenna, O. , is a grad
uate of Williams college, has taken spe
cial courses of study in philosophy, eth
ics and political economy at Johns Hop
kins university and has studied the
same line of subjects abroad.
General Christopher Columbus Jones,
the aged leader of the Philadelphia
contingent that joined. Coxey's "army"
just before it
reached Wash
ington, is another
man of note in
the crusade, and
there is a host
of lesser lights,
among them be
ing General Mey
er, Commander
Beaumont, both
western men,
Captains Murray
and Sweetland of
Connecticut and
others from New York and New Jersey
that are not so well known. . -
Altogether the most singular incident
connected with the movement has beon
the start for Washington on May 3, from
Harrodsburg, Ky., of C. Peter Springer
and a few friends in a balloon. Springer
is the man who sent a $100 bill to Miss
Pollard during the trial of her suit
against Breckinridge, and he took with
him in his airship $ 1,000 which he said
ho proposed to give to Coxey.

Washington, May 12. Only four sen

Senator Harris, who waa temporarily iu
the chair, instructed the clerk to

eight senators into the chamber fifteen
less than a quorum and steps were im

of absentees. Search of the corridors
and coat rooms of the capitol was made,
but it was twenty-five minutes before
enough absentees could be found to make
up the quorum.

Foreign Capital Helng Withdrawn
European Trade I ltetur.
New York, May 12. The Evening
Post says: Many financial critics are
imputing to the gold export moment a
profound mystery. In reality, there never
was a simpler or more logical phenom
enon. The simple fact i3 that the mass of
foreign capital which for years has found
ready and profitable employment in this
country is in a measure flowing home
again because of our present'trade stag
nation. Not only are European state
loans to the amount of fully $100,000,0 -0
coming upon the market but European
trade by all accounts is further advanced
in its movement of recuperation than
our own.
In the face of the specie export move
ment our local money rates have within
a fortnight gone actually lower than be
fore. This is the whole "mystery" of the
sterling market.
IX A PERFECT STREAM.
The Gold Poorlng Out of tlie Country
and More Bonds Needed.
New Yokk, May 12. There is no let
up in the export movement of gold, and
as the sub-treasury here is supplying the
demands of the shippers, the treasury
reserve is steadily dwindling to the $ao,"
000,000 maik.
This is the only feature of the move
ment that excites attention as it revives
discussion about the prospect of another
government loan. Had the shipment to
Europe come at a time when the home
demand for money was large the effect in
W all street would have been decided
ly unfavorable, but as Ihe local market
is gutted with funds, the financial com
munity concerns itself mainly with the
treasury matter just alluded to. The en
gagements thus far reported for today's
steamers follow:
Lazard Freres, $1,200,000 Ileidelbach,
Ickelheimef & Company, $700,000; La
denburg, Thalman '& Company, $500,L,0.)
and Koskier, Wood & Company, $50,000,
a total of $2,900,000. Some bankers pro
fess to believe the foreign demand is
about satisfied, but there is more or less
conjecture about this and everything de
pends upon the amount of bills that will
be made against shipments of produce or
securities during the next couple of
weeks.
LOCAL MENTION.
The Ingleside benefit has been post
poned until further notice.
E. It. Woodruff has taken a building
permit to build a $2,700 residence at
344-48 Taylor street.
On May 21st the Santa Fe will restore
grain rates as follows: On wheat, 40
cents; on corn, oats and hay, 85 cents;
on flour. 45 cents. The3e rates apply to
points in the St. Louis territory, and
Missouri river points.
The proposition of the Topeka men
interested iu iron business, to make a
part of the Santa Fe's castings at Tope
ka cheaper than they are being made by
John Seaton at Atchison, has been re
ferred by General Manager Frey to Pur
chasing Agent Fuller of Chicago.
The suit brought by Attorney General
Little to compel the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad company to maintain
ofHces in Kansas has been postponed to
May 23. It is thought that an agree
ment will be reached between the com
pany and attorney general before that
time.
Among the Sanders army there are at
least three formerly of Topeka men.
One of them, Bert Gonser, was an em
ploye of T. D. Thacher's bindery ten
years ago, and his parents now live in
Leavenworth. Another was at one time
an employe'of the Santa Fe blacksmith
shop. His name is Wm. McGimpen.
The third re fuses his name on the ground
that he still has three sisters living here.
Warden Chase of the state penitentiary
has made a settlement with the state au
ditor for April. The expenditurec
were . $10,935.28, and the rs--ceipts
$7,295.52, leaving a bal
ance of $3,639.70 to be drawn from
the state treasury. The principle item,
of income was the coal sale of $4,627.87
For convict labor,$2,04i.45 were received.

Snider has completed his recommenda

He says in the recommendations in
speaking of dishonest losses: "In call

this particular evil, dishonest losses, 1 do
sire to state what I believe to be a well
understood fact that 'mast of the
vexatious and troublesome litigation be

companies, grows out of the very largo

not too much to say that insurance com
panies employ skilled adjusters and
special agents with the avowed object of
preventing the payment oi claims against
them growing out of fraudulent losaoj."
