Voted = 'er Straight.
"Well , " said Mr. Mossback , "I have voted the
straight republican ticket since my first vote in 1856 and ,
although 1 know perfectly well that the party is in the
last stages of putrid corruption , I am going to 'Voter-
straight" once more , as I want to give it a chance to re
pent and reform and redeem itself from the yawning
abyss of political damnation which I now clearly see is
gapping to receive it. "

And that fool's a fool as the blindest can sea.

Coxey's Army.
All will remember the Coxey army of 1894. They
marched from the west to "Washington where the federu
government disbanded the army. Thef were called i
"petition in boots" and represented the desire of hungn
workmen then oift of work to get employment. This was
in the administration of drover Cleveland who was a re
publican during his second term and supported McKinley -
ley in both campaigns , and who will oppose Bryan tin.-
year. Cleveland stood for the republican financial am'
industrial policies which always bring panics every few
years.
years.Jn Cleveland's time there was the additional reason
that there were serious crop failures in the west. Al1
will remember 1894.Vestern Iowa had but a small par'
of a crop. Nebraska , Kansas and the Dakotas raised
scarcely anything. These conditions , of course , added
to the suffering that would otherwise have existed in the
panic.
"We still have republican laws to pile the 'money nr
in the money centers for the gamblers.Yc still have
the watered stocks , furnished by republican laws , for the
\ gamblers to operate in. And we again have a republican
panic , produced by republican Jaws , just as we had a
panic in 1873 , produced by republican laws , and a panic
in 1893 , produced by republican laws. The leaders oi
* - the republican party are the big financiers and they want

I is this : Another Coxey Army is upon us. At St. Loui >
a convention is being held by the unemployed. Six hun
dred men assembled in a convention in the hall. Some
of the men came from Xew York. Boston , Dayton , Cc/-
| Inmbus , Chicago and Philadelphia. Their clothes were
i tattered and torn. Their faces blackened with train soot
? and were greasy with oil of the bumpers and rods. They
I represented the lamentable condition into which Amcri-
} can workmen have been brought by the republican party.
' ' Today , General Coxey of the famous Coxey army of
1894 , will arrive in St. Louis. With him will come" his
principal lieutenant , Morrison L. Swift of Boston.
These men are there to give advice and to prepare for
the marching of another Coxey army to Washing-ton.
The weather is too cold to start we suppose at this time ,
but the arrangements i.\iil be made to take up the march
as soon as the weather permits. We are at last learning
the full truth about the so called republican prosperity.
The scoundrels desere public condemnation arid worse
than that if worse were possible. With Coxey heading
another army it is quite plain that republican politicians
will sing pretty low for the next few years. They have
been caught in their rascality ; their power to fool the
A people is past. They arc now exposed as the rank frauds

How Queens Dress.
"The Russian empress cares little for
dress , though her coronation robe of
cloth of silver and pearls was a marvelous -
velous thing , " says Worth of Paris in
his scries in Harper's Bazar. "And
she looked like some goddess of the
north in a novel ball dress I designed
for her recentl.v. It was a 'simple'
gown of white velvet with a long train
and superb veil. This last was kept
in its place by a jeweled white dove ,
lightly perched on the carina's hair ,
which was arranged over a cushion.
"Cannon Sylva , the white haired
queen of Houmania , affects the charming -
ing flowing draperies of her country ,
with a * long lace veil held in position
with jeweled pins. The favorite color
of Qul'cn Helena of Italy Jr. a roft blue
