The treasury managers say it now requires about $400,000,0011 annually to mu the government. The pending tariff bill, it is thought, will afford about that amount.

Mr Coxey refused because he did not think John Bbermau was exactly tbc proper person to present a petition for the financial relief of the people. Sen .for Teller supported the resolution, He did not care to discs, the propne ty of the- Coxey invasion, but it was of U»e highest importance that every citi* yell of the United States should been* titled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Coxey was « law-abid iug citizen. He and his followers had Irndged'to XV ashing ton through thejram and mud, and were entitled to respect¬ ful consideration. He did not en dome the statute under which they had been arrested. The police had treated them shamefully, and while he did not car<- to criticise tie- anthori ties, In- thought they should have over looked wh»t was only a technical vio- 1st ion of the statute at heat. If the police had acted with the decency of the enmniotiweuler# there would have been no trouble, lie did not think the Senate could refuse to investigate the police clubbing.

Everywhere in the conn try the opinion prevailed that Coxey Mfj<l hi* men had been treated with uu nrrcmnry severity.

All the miners iu the Goal Creek dis¬ trict who joined the strike for the sec¬ ond time lust week returned to work Monday morning. The Jellied tniuers, however, lire still out, and propose to stay out until a national settlement is made. I'enusylvaiiia linin' operators have deeuioil to employ negro labor in their tight against the miners. Two hun¬ dred eoloreil miners left Birmingham, Ala., Monday in special ears for Jolm sonburg, J'a. Afore are to follow. A Jackson, Aliss., special says: The railroad commission in acmtion in that city ha# taken under consideration the animal assessment of telegraph, ex¬ press, railroad and, sleeping ear ewnit panics within the state. It is believed that the existing rates wili uot bo dis¬ turbed. A New York special says: The Ricbmoud and Terminal reorganiza¬ tion plan is expected to be declared operative within a few weeks. All the principal securities essential to the plan have been deposited iu sufficient quantities to permit the committee to go ahead. Outside properties are now being dealt with and negotiations are pending which may bring into the plan a number of securities which are at present outside. A decision has been rendered iu the federal court at Chattanooga, Teuii., involving #2,000,000. The style of the conaolidated causes was the Cen¬ tral Trust Company, of New York, and Ferdinand Schumacher ot al. vs. the Bast Tennessee Band Company, of Harriman, Touu., and the contest was upon the application of l’hilip S. Ata son, of Knoxville, for the removal of A A. Hopkins and XX'. H. Bussell, as receivers. The petition was granted, F. A. Coffin, 1*. H. Coffin snd Albert S. Heed, the convicted bank looters, were arraigued in court at Indianapolis Tuesday for sente nee. Francis Coffin got ten years and Ceroival Coffin five years, while Head, who was merely n tool of tho Coffins, was released on suspended sentence, mercy being shown in iiis ease. The three men are accused, as officers of the Indianapolis Cabinet company, with aiding Theodore B. Hanghev in w recking the Indianapolis National bank, of w hich the latter was president. The voters of Oregon elected their entire state ticket Tuesday two mem her* of congress, one supreme court judge and full county ami municipal tickets. Owing to the great extent ol the flood it will bo a week or more 1 adore tho full returns are received. There are one hundred and seventy six name# on the ballot. It is safe to say that the republicans have elected the entire ticket. For the past eight years, two terms, l’ennoyer, populist, has been governor.

A prominent State Alliance presi dent, in writing if; an officer of the National Alliance, ban the following to nay of the proposed effort to organ¬ ically consolidate nil national farm or¬ ganizations in a farmers’ union: “l our effort to consolidate farm organiza¬ tions i* indeed praiseworthy, but l doubt that it will be consummated. In fact, from my point of view, it is useless labor. The character of the scheme has too much of an utopian aspect. It would look us reasonable to me for one to attempt to unite the K. P's, f. (). O.

Since I lie Alliance movement wa* started, members of Congress, snd even Senators, have mennged to Hnv that the farmers and other industrial classes should petition for what they want, and every reasonable request would be granted; that Congress was ready Some and mux tons to serve tho people. rather cranky people have always thought that a Congressman ought to know something about what all the people of his section need when lie is elected, and, in a general way, very nearly what suits tho whole country; “Wr^^5~|.nqm-Ti tui^^diat theory has been exploded. :~iT1o '|« litioTi: The Alliance petitioned; the (irnnge petitioned; the Knights of Babor, Typo* grapliical Union, organized railroad employes petitioned, Noth iug wua gransed. Finally Coxey started to Washington with n little baud of peti¬ tions with boots on. At first congress reared back on its dignity ami sent Coxe.f word to slay ut home. He came on, however, ami presented living pe¬ tition. Congress wouldn’t even agree to consider Ids suggestions. At last his men were eltlbbud by the police under tin 1 control of congress mid tlie leaders arrested. From tins we learn that petitions are not wanted unless they are accompanied by corporation checks,or if Hu y go with lmots on, they must be very fine boots, mul wearers must sport diamonds and lug pocket book*.
