The American Constitution and the Duties of Citizens. QUESTIONS OFTHE HOUR ———-_>—_ The coming of Coxey’s army has turned the attention of many minds to the eco- nomic questions suggested by the “march to Washington,” as well as to the immedi- ate problem of how to care for and treat the men who have assembled in the Dis- trict and declare their purpose of staying here until Congress acts on Mr. Coxey’s bill. Readers of The Star, of course, vary in their opinions both as to the demonstra- tion, the conditions that have procured it and the remedies to be applied. The Star publishes below some of the views on these matters gent to the editor by correspond- ents: “The Great Unknown.” One correspondent, E.J.T., writes: I would like at this time to make a suggestion throug your widely read journal. Except in- ferentially, I do not intend to discuss Gen. Coxey, but wish to say a few words about the great unknown—not Smith—but the | Constitution of the United States. It is a) fact, as sad as it ts’ strange, that after |one hundred years of national existence the people know. but little of the funda- mental law as embodied in the instrument framed by our fathers. Take our young men as you may meet them on the streets, all of them with more or less schooling, }most of them fairly well educated, and | I undertake to say that seven out of ten of | | them know nothing of “the Constitution.” | In our many schools children are taught | all sorts of things, some of little or no im- portance, and yet that which one would suppose to be the most important {tem—a fair knowledge of the form of government | under which they live—is absolutely ignored in the curriculum.. Many of these bright children, you will find, can give you the history of Rome, from the time of Romulus down, can name the generals who coi manded, and state the number of soldiers siain in great battles fought many ce turies ago, and yet cannot answer the simplest question as to their own govern- | ment. “This is straight.” Now, it is fair) to presume that were such important knowledge as largely diffused as it should be no such silly scheme as the Coxey movement would ever have been heard of. If Gen. Coxey can influence legislation to jsuit his desires by assembling a crowd at | the federai capital, then others can do like- wise, and we shall have Gen, Rocksy with his army to advocate cleaning out the rivet and lake beds; tection for the Gen. | Low Tariff may marshal his minions to de-| mand the unshackling of the “wings of commerce,” and so on. This Coxey move- ment may, after all, prove a good thing in arousing a knowledge among the people as to what they can or cannot do lawfully and properly. It may teach them to study up their form of government and when once posted enable them to better indicate their freedom and manhood by demanding at the polls according to their independent judg- ment the measures of legislation they de- sire, rather than follow advice of shallow demagogues or vote to please bosses. The Constitution should be taught as/ regularly-and persistently in our secular as! is the catechism in our religious schools. All its provisions have been authoritatively passed upon and its instruction would cost the teacher no more difficulty than that of | grammar or geography. Besides, it is most excellent reading, superior to any of the “readers.” Now is a good time to call public attention to a glaring defect in our educational sys- tem. The Star ought to, and I think will, give the subject the attention it deserves. Do not leave the Constitution to the study only of lawyers; let everybody be fariliar with its wise provisions. A knowledge of the benefits conferred and of the obligations imposed by it must of necessity result in purer and better government, and preclude any idea of legislation by Coxeyism or mobocracy.”" Rubbish About Revolution. “Observer” says: “Can you inform me as to the meaning of all this insane talk indulged in by a few sensation mongers in regard to a revolution and dismember- ment of this great and glorious nation, which fs only in the infancy of its history? It is all bosh and rot, and not worthy of serious consideration. “It is quite true that many of us (in- cluding the writer) are worried and nerv- ous over financial troubles, and some in actual need of the necessities of life, but there is no reason to believe that’ any human being will be permitted to starve to death in this land of plenty and abund- ance. “The great foundation stones of humanity among men, intelligence and valor, upon which Uncle Sam built his house, are yet quite able to support the superstructure as ever, and, indeed, even moze, for It is my belief that before the day ‘when the| decline and fall of the United States of | America shall be recorded in history that country will embrace most of North America. “So long as men of any nation have due regard for the rights and feelings of their | fellow creatures, so long as they possess | sufficient mental ability to discern the re- | lation of cause and effect, and so long as they have the manhood to stand up for | what they conscientiously believe to be | the right, just so long will that nation con- | tinue to “prosper (though temporary set-| backs may occur) and lead the world in civilization. “This is fully verified by a research into history, and these are the factors which characterize American citizenship, and of which we are justly proud.” Not True Americans, “C. T. F.,” referring to comments made | on Inspector Byrnes’ utterances, writes “I would say that I, for one, and I be- lieve in common with all true Americans, | heartily indorse Inspector Byrnes in his utterances on the Coxey situation—that | ‘no true American would mix up in such | a begging movement.’ That the Coxeyites | are all Americans ‘to the manner born’ | does not enter into it, as that by no means makes an American citizen any more than does a silver spoon in one’s mouth at birth guarantee to the world that a gentleman has been born into it. | | I hold that the true American citizen, hay- | ing the interest of his country at heart, | jis willing to abide by the laws enacted | by the representatives whom the people | ave selected by their votes to represent | them in the legislative halls, believing that | each representative will act according to| | his best judgment. Should they fail in their trust, the citizen surely knows what to do | at the polls. "Tis the will of the majority, | and while it may sometimes fail of its) purpose, yet it is in the main right, and the right of it will eventually ptevail. “The American citizen knows that,and his love of honesty and fair play is inherent in him—as it is in all true men. Birth nor politics enters into it not at all. This being true, can any man enter into a scheme that has for its prime object (whatever may be said to the contrary notwithstand- jing) the squeezing of a living from his |neighbor? In all this broad land there is ‘no one wholly dead to the feelings of hu- manity, and sympathy for the suffering and distress of the poor has been substantially manifested during the past winter in every comunity, and the ‘stranger at the has not been neglected. But when a body | of ‘Weary Walkers,’ instigated by a few cranks, undertake to force their presence on any single community it may prove the ‘straw that is to break the camel's back.’ I as a workingman, and one who has had intimate relations with laborers in and cut of the trades, know American manhood better than to believe that true Americans wauid lend their aid or their presence to such a movement.” What the Movement Suggest: “R. N. B.” says: “In all the articles pub- lished in The Star concerning the common- weal Invasion it is remarkable that there has been little or no allusion to what might constitute a greater danger than this in- nocuous promenade and the problem of its dispersion. This lies in the power of poli- ticlans to exploit this incident unduly, in aid of the particular theory—fallacy it might be—with which their political fortunes are cast Now, it 1s inconcelvable that any member of Congress should not know—for he has the consular reports and foreign statistics fur- am hot,” | him verproductiveness would best describe this condition, for, so soon as the market is supplied, production ceases, and the laborer is discharged. Now, if this theory be correct, it is no longer a question of density of population, proportion between the trades and professions, protection and tariff reform, or gold and silver merely, but one of equitable distribution of the product of all labor. “In other words, if all that the world pro- duces in excess of its actual needs must be lost, this loss should not be permitted to fall most heavily upon any class, nor es- pecially to take the form of labor among the poorer class. The question is an intricate one, but entirely separable from the various issues upon which the country is now divided. Would it, then, be Utopian to suggest an organization of our leading public men, without regard to party, for a full study and discussion of this question, in the interest of the public welfare? The mere announcement that such an organization had been formed would surely go far to allay any discontent following the dispersion of the common- weal, by convincing the workingman that his demards were receiving intelligent at- tention. “One distinguished Senator in a recent speech deplored the fact that the tariff was ever brought into politics, and proposed a commission to adjust it. Would he now take hold of this question before it shares a like fate and becomes the prey of every demagogue? “It must be admitted that the body poli- tic contains many elements of danger, and perhaps the man who cries ‘Gold bug’ a ‘Scab’ to all more fortunate is not more dangerous than the prosperous citizen who proceeds upon the worn-out theories of the era of underproduction and insists that all men can find work if they want to, and that the ‘hungry idler’ should be ‘put down by the strong arm of the law.” “It is time, then, for a little sincerity, and this should begin among our legislators, who are in a position to understand these questions and who have a perfect right to originate legislation upon them within the limits of the Constitution. In default of such legislation, even if no more dangerous issues than those upon which the country is now’ divided arise, we may continue to escillate, as we have done, between the great parties until the nation racks itself to pieces in search of a remedy which it might be in the power of any Congress, knowing the causes, to apply.” Don’ for Coxey. D. E.” sums up his ideas fn the fol- lowing collection of “lets” and “don’ts:” 1. Let them come. 2. Let Congress hear their pleadings and their grievances. 3. Let Congress appropriate for anything reasonable. 4. Let Congress appropriate to make roads for the so-called National Park—the Zoo. 5, Let us see how industrious this com- mor.weal then is. 6. Let them be sheltered and fed by the United States, as they come to visit Con- gress—not the District of Columbia. 7. Let the United States send them back from where they came. 8. Let there be no cause for trouble from our side. 9. Let the navy yard be tected with two battle ships. 3 10. Let the arsenal be protécted with troops. 11. Let all barracks be filled. 12. Let the militia of all neighboring states be ready. 13. Let martial law for the District of Columbia be enacted on the slightest provo- cation or disturbance. 14. Let the District of Columbia National Guard be ready. 15. Let the suburbs be protected. 16. Let then everything be amicably set- tled, lest revolution is the outcome. 4 = Let this army of peace and Congress jo it. 18. Don’t wait until the last moment. 19. Don’t let this army stay too long; pro- vided they have money and the United States cares for them. 2v. Don’t let the District of Columbia Na- tional Guard and state militia desert us. 21. Don’t give too many leaves of absence. 22. Don’t let the Coxeyites starve to steal. 23. Don't leave them in the hands of the District of Columbia—we have enough poor to tend to. 24. Don’t be scared. ———-_— FATHER TALKS. His Boy Jake Always Headstrong and He Has Not Changed. Thomas Coxey, father of the renowned general of the commonweal army, is in Philadelphia. He arrived Thursday and will stay two or three days longer. He is entirely opposed to the “commonweal” idea, and says that his son was very foolish to leave a good business and start out on such an enterprise. Mr. Coxey, senior, is, in fact, so dead set against the “general's” scheme that he refused to say anything on the subject to a Philadelphia reporter, who called oping to learn something as to how the “general” had been brought up. Several relatives and friends of Mr. Coxey were not so reluctant, however, and they gave their views and incidentally Mr. Coxey’s also as to the movement of “Death to interest on bonds,” and as to its leader, “General” esc or “Jake,” as they cali him familiar- Y. The general's sister, with whom Mr. Thomas Coxey sojourns, is ashamed of the general. She said that she did not want COXEY her name mentioned in connection with the matter. eople who know I am his sister are alw: asking me nowadays what I think of ‘General’ Coxey’s latest move, and I am very tired of the whole matter.” The reporter said that he inferred from that that the general's relatives are not in love with the commonweal notion. “I certainly she replied with considerable vigor. “We are ashamed of him, but he always was a headstrong boy, and when he made up his mind to do a thing he did it.” The general's father is a qui modest man of about sixty-five years. suming a-man,”’. one of his friends say: “as you will find in a seven days’ walk.” He was born very near Philadelphia, at a place near the Gulf Mills. The general was born in Pennsylvania too, but they both finally located near Massillon, and have made a fair fortune In quarrying. Thomas Coxey is a democrat, but cares very little for poli- ties. In fact, he is just about the opposite of his son, and he had a hard time bringing up, for “Jake,” he says, “was a stiff- necked, cranky, pig-headed sort of a son, for so quiet and modest a father, and when ‘Jake’ got it into his head to drown the cat, or swim on Sunday, he was very likely to do it, without waiting to get his ‘dad's consent. The father, it is understood, was opposed to the commonweal movement from the first, and after he found that “Jake” was bound to go, he tried to get him to leave his boy, Jesse, at home so that somebody coul ake care of the stock farm. But “Jake’ had his own way, as he did in the cases of drowning pussy ‘and going in swimming Sundays. Thomas Cox visit to Philadelphia, as before mentioned, is not to get supplies to- gether for the army, but to visit and to look after a business venture. GOLDEN CROSS ENTERTAINMENT.

The Resolutions He Had Passed at a ‘Lakest Gathering. Carl Browne was.in Washington once be- fore on a notable occasion. It was when he came hefe with Dennis Kearney—and Kearney made a speech from the steps of the Capitol. An effort was made then to prevent Kearney from speaking there, but he accomplished his purpose by means of strategy. Since the Kearney agitation Browne has been steadily at work stirring up feeling on the money question. He has published papers, drawn cartoons and made speeches. In 1891 he, in con- junction with Frye, now leading another industrial army, did something very simi- lar to the present movement. This was no less than the leading of 1,000 unemployed men into the galleries of the legislature of California while a bill to provide certain public improvéments ‘was being considered. Browne has been @ constant attendant and orator at convention: The most significant action of his past grew out of the bimetallic convention in Chicago, to which he was a delegate. Browne had prepared to offer before that body a very remarkable resolution. The paper, he told a Star reporter, was not presented, at the urgent solicitation of Sen- ator Stewart. “I afterward,” said Browne, “when I saw that the purchasing clause of the silver bill was to be passed, present- ed these resolutions before a tremendous mass meeting and they were adopted.” These were the famous lake front mass meetings that were suppressed by Carter Harrison. The resolutions provide for a revolution pure and simple. The preamble set forth that in the view of its framer if Congress failed. to pass a free coinage bill or provided some legisia- tion “to destroy the power of gold as king, the country would be under a more galling yoke than that of George the ITI; and de- clared it the right and duty of “the be- trayed people” to, in some sufe manner— peaceably if possible, but forcibly, if they must—to rise up and repudiate officials whose acts are plainiy in the interest of the rich. The resolutions then declared “That in such an event happening as set forth in the commencement of the above preamble, it is the sense of this mass inect- ing that the national silver convention should reconvene, this time in fhe rotunda of the administration buliding, world’s fair grounds, at 12 o'clock meridian, on the 14th day of October, the four hundred and first anniversary of the discovery of America, and with the stars and stripes floating above them, proclaim that England has captured the east, but that the republic of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lin- coin stil live in the south and west, jand, then and there, in connection | with all the Congressmen and Sen- ators who choose to join with it, form a provisional government of the United States of America! and take such action and pass | such legislation as the extraordinary ccca- | sion, extreme necessity and high purposes demand! and that all the present officials of the general government—municipal, | and national, including the army and na and the bench, who acknowledge allegiance to sald provisional government of the U. 8. A., be continued in their respective oTices until further orders.” Then the resolutions further set forth the general plan of the proposed new covern. ment. The Senate was to be abolished, the cabinet was to be composed of one repre- sentative from each state, the seat of go ernment was to in the administration building, Jackson’ Park, and many cther changes were to be made. ——s——_ DEATH OF MRS.
