Oklahoma City, May —|Special.]
A iTiiwd representing some < f the best
people of the c ity met at the corner of
]i road way and Main street last night
to listen to the reading of the resolu-
tions that had hern prepared by the
committee appointed the nijrht before.
The resolutions were evidently to
their liking, for they were vocifer-
ously cheered anil unanimously
adopted. They \v -re a strong condem-
nation of .ludge Scott, cited the nu-
merous instances iu which he hail
made mistakes, and strongly endorsed
.Judge Steward and Sheriff Fightnian-
ter. The resolutions ask the president
to remove Judge scott from office.
A number of speakers \%ere called
upon to address the assembhd thou-
sands. and their remarks, in whatever
us referred to a condemnation of the
judtfe. were applauded to the echo.
The meeting lasted until a very lat
hour and all went home with u con-
sciousness of duty done.
A notice of suspension was served
on S. A. Steward, judge of the probate
court, yesterday. The complaint was
signed by Huger Wilkinson, and was
sent to the sheriff yesterday morning
at .'i o'clock, with instructions to serve
it immediately.
Editors Ihirke and lirown were
again placed in jail, and before they
could be released papers* were served
on Judge Steward.

Clr \ KLAMi, O., May J Seven thou-
sand unemployed men paraded the
streets to-day and listened to speeches
in Monumental square. Iu the line
were many unruly spirits.
On the Central viaduct a motorman
refused to stop his train while the pro-
cession was passing, and the mob at-
tacked and wrecked a car.
Later nearly 100 shots were tired over
another ear. which was compelled to
stop. Several persons were badly in-
jured by rocks. «)n Pearl street a
street car was totally wrecked by the
mob and the motorman assaulted and
perhaps fatally injured.
A policeman who was on board drew
his revolver, but before it could Ik*
used the mob closed in on him and he
received very rough handling. Pistols
were fired in every direction. Many
plate glass windows were broken and
a panic ensued in the crowded thor-
oughfare. There were many narrow
escapes, but fortunately no one was
killed outright

ABSOLUTELY PURE
EXPEHIENCE I N. TUEOHV.
It is impossible for a preacher to be
practical. All his education it ;n-
practical lines, on abstract theories,
embellishment of sentences and glitter-
ing exordiums and preorations. This
was demonstrated last night ly Rev,
Rogers, who as an illustration, gave
the bonding of St. Peters in the Isle
of (iuernsey, for 810,000, in five pound
bonds, ten year interest bearing bonds,
and ti. ? expenditure of this amount
among the people for the building of a
court house. This is a fictitious illus
tration in "Ten Men of Money Island,"
and was used by Norton to show what
he thought cOuld be done to tide over
such a lack of labor and activity as
he says predominated in St. Peters
when the Sin,000 in bonds were issued.
This as ai illustration is weak and
trivial. The same thing has been
done all over the United States, for
public works of all kinds, except the
bonds were issued in larger denomina-
tions and traded for small bills-
money and the money paid out.
Guthrie issued 350,000 of waterworks
bonds, and is now building school
houses from the issuance of $">0,000 of
district school bonds.
These bonds are liens on the prop-
erty of the people and the law gives
power for their issuance and for their
redemption by taxation. The water-
works and school houses are a neces-
sity—a profitable investment, and the
people voted by ballot that they
would run in debt to build them.
There are yet many idle laborers. Is
it the duty of this city to issue more
bonds, and proceed to make improve-
ments which, like good roads, would
be a comfort, but which the people
have and are getting along without
with no serious detriment? Such a
proposition would hardly get a vote
from the men of substance on whom
interest and tinal payment would fall.
The county commissioners levied a
five mill road and bridge tax. The
tax was badly needed for repairing
and building bridges and for various
road improvements almost a necessity
for the transportation of the products
of the farm. The moment the people
found there was a probability that the
tax was illegal, there was a wild
clamor that it be abrogated. They
said "our taxes are too high; we can
hardly pay them as they are. Wait
for good roads until we are more able
to pay for them." A.id the tax. being
determined illegal by the court, was
rescinded.
This government owes now a bonded
debt of 8*.i00,000,ooo. It has out S0oo,-
000,000 of promises to pay. greenbacks,
treasury notes, etc.—and Cleveland's
"single gold standard" has practically
made our Sooo.ooo.ooo of silver money
redeemable in gold. So the national
debt now is 81 ,f oo,000,000, and you and
me and the rest of the people owe it.
What a howl went up when Cleveland
in a time of peace and plenty—a time
when the productiveness of nature
was unparalleled—issued 850,000,000
of bonds on which to run the govern-
ment!
History proves that a specie basis is
the only safe one—that gold or silver,
self-redeemable money, must be be-
lli ml every promise to pay, interest-
bearing or non-interest-bearing, if the
present magnificent credit of the na-
tion is to be maintained. At present
there are but $500,000,000 of gold
with which to pay 81,500,000,000 of
debt, and for this reason the people
clamor for a reinstatement of silver as
a full legal tender redeemer and for
the free coinage of the entire Ameri-
can silver product. The people know
that promises to pay are dangerous—
that you can't create permanent
prosperity by running in debt,
and men who have sense
enough to profit by the monetary ex-
perience of this and other countries
declare foolish and suicidal any
schemes to issue promises to pay when
1,000,000 miners, now idle, stand ready
to dig from God's monetary storehouse
—as the farmer produces the wheat
from the soil—an iudestructable metal
which needs no redeemer, which,
when coined into a dollar, has within
it the sweat of the miner's brow, the
result of toil—which is intrinsic
money, not the representative of debt.
A large majority of the people who
clamor fwr the $500,000,000 Coxey
promises to pay are property less, men
who never saved a cent and probably
never would. The ballast of this na-
tion are the people who own their
farms and their homes—and these
want less national debt, not more;
these know that paper promises to
pay abo.'t the $600,000,000 now out
would be dangerous; these know that
while the currency is perhaps too
small, that to increase it by enlarging
the debt of the people—and the people
are the nation—would threaten us
with ills wore than those we now
bear.
The whole trouble is not a lack of
currency, it is a lack of confidence.
We have the same currency we had in
*92, when times were prosperous. If
the people will petition congress for
a restoration of confidence by a declar-
ation that the tariff laws will be un-
disturbed and silver replaced in its
time-honored position in our monetary
system the Coxey army would soon
adjour sine die and every man of it
who wanted work would get it, the
clouds would pass away and the old-
time st|uof republican prosperity shine
on the lintel of every American home.

/ 'LI TOCRA T COX E V'.
It is noticed that General Coxey, on
the arrival of his army at Washington,
put up at the best hotel, and his horses
at the best livery stable, while his
men were left hungry and houseless
in Hrightwood Park. The next day
Coxey, the plutocrat, appeared at
Brightwood dressed in a fashionable
new spring suit and bearing all over
the appearance of an alUuent dude.
This makes the country tired—a plu-
tocrat damning the plutocrats; a rich
man presuming to lead paupers. Coxey
has no sympathies akin to his army
He is using a handful of 300 men on
whici<'w ..at.at. his morbid love of
notoriety. It is strange that they
would follow such a hypocrite—a man
who rides iu palace cars to New York
to sell a herd of his blooded stock and
comes back dressed like a nabob.
Why don't the army pick from its own
ranks a general—one who is like the
poor devils who form the army—a
man whose words and acts will come
from the lips of experience. The
leaders of all these "reforms" are the
men who bring them into ridicule.
Men who have capital and live without
labor attempting to lead the poor
laboring men. Were the leaders from
the ranks—close down with the men
they lead—then would there be har-
mony, at least, and the hypocrisy and
ridiculousness the people see in Coxey
would not stand out as an injury to
the cause.
With millions of men idle and out
of bread, strikes of fellows who have
jobs in mines and factories are still
going on owing to some trivial misun-
derstanding.
Coxkv tried to violate the federal
law Monday by trying to speak on the
national capitol grounds, but we no-
tice he didn't. The law proved bigger
than Coxey.
