CINCINNATI, February IA. - The
cases involving the validity of the
forty eight hour rule for fermentation
in the manufacture of spirits recently
began 10 the State Courts, will, by
consent of all parties, be transferred
to morrow to the u. S. Circuit Court,
where they will come up early on its
merits.
The recent removal of Capt. Naugh-
ton, gauger, the Second District,
for alleged disrespect shown his supe-
rio-s, has created great deal of dis r.
satisfaction. He has the reputation
of being one of the best officers in the

urgent recommendation of Governor
Hayes.

A Tempest in a Tea-pot.

ran for the Office of Coroner on the
Workingmen's t'cAet, aud the Star, the
organ of the Tammany workingmen.op-
posed him because he was regarded %
disorganizer. As matter Of course
he was defeated; and to make amends
for past conduct, the t'oinkIer, under
the inspiration of Tammanv is now urg'
ing his nomination on the Democratic
ticket. An animated discussion is go
ing on in the New York press to de-
eide the question whether or no Mr..
Young is a demagogue. MIR. TrOup
says he is-and MIR. Taylor says he
is't, and so the matter rests. We ad-

supposing Y. is demagogue-why not

THE LABOR STRUGGLE.
NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER ONE.
The great struggle of humanity for
freedom is a struggle for the rights Of
labor against the usurpations Of savage
warriors and unjust political leaders.
What is human freedom but a right to
ones own time and vital energy, a
right to The fruits of ones own labor.
Aud what is slavery but the unjust ap-
preparation of the time and energy and
labor of another. The present struggle
for the rights Of labor is as much a
struggle for freedom as the war Of the
Revolution Of 30. 1t is as much a
struggle for freedom as the war of the
great Rebellion, when the colored slave
was freeG from his task master.
The war ofthe Revolution was war
to protect the right of every man to
help make the laws that should control
and protect the fruits of industry, and
80 was the war Of the Rebellion. To
day every male laborer possesses this
right, the right of the ballot, and if be
does not use it to protect the rights of
labor, it is partly his owH fault II is
very plain that cery poor use has been
of the ballot, partly owing to the ignor-
ance of those who use it, and partly to
wickedness of those who control it.
Consequently there are two ways of
correcting this abuse, lst: To educate
the voter, 10 help him to a more correct
knowledge, and to a more just apprecia-
ton of the rights of labor, and how to
get them through the use of the ballot
End, To expose the wickedness of those
who seek to control his vote for their
own special benefit Ono of the tsrst
problems to be solved is the right and
effective use of the ballot to protect
the rights of the iaborer, instead of
using it against himself to protect those
who are constantly robbing him Of the
fruits OF his toll.
No one will deny that there is great
inequality and injustice in the distribu-
ton of the wages and profits of labor.
As the mental laborer is constantly
supported and sustained by the physical
laDorer, why should he claim such I'M
&c al profits. Why should he APP
propriste to himself $1OO or a 81 900
or $4,000 for days or for an hours
work, while the physical laborer re-
ceives only one, rr two, OF ten dollars.
1t is often asserted that the mental
laborer should receive more than the
physical laborer, because he spends
more time and money in preparing
himself for his work. The reverse Of
this often is true. Moreover it often
happens that mental laborers and edu- |
Gators, who spend the most time and |
money in developing aud preparing
their minds, and who work out the
greatest good for humanity, receive the
poorest pay, or none at all, simply /
because humanity does not appreciate
their work. tits high time that justice
should be done to those who labor
for the support and welfare of
whether the labor be
mental or physical.
Let every person ask and honestly
answer to himself or herself, the ques-

ADOPTED OCT. Is. 1870.

The crushing Of the instruction OF
June, 1s4s, having left affairs in France
Just as unsettled as before the February
Revolution, because the conditions Of
production were the same as before
that period-the possessing classes
languished for order. The fnancier
wanted order for the sake of the
"bourse," the industrial to obtain a
brisk business, the small dealers to fill
their drawers. "Order." shouted all
those wishing to see the workingmen
only tOiling. "Order" roared the can
non, tearing up the giant body Of the
Partisan "Proletariat. And order was
not yet established, when that so-called
"moon-calf" squeezed himself through,
skimming society upon its surface,
counting the place Of Waterman of
order. The French nation in their own
belief, engaged him for four years but
the ''moon-calf" played the rogue and
refused to create order, if not receiving
the lions share OF the booty. He re-
cruited the world-renowned band of the
10th of December, and with their aid
chased the Understanding, respect
able' society from their balconies. The
society having found their master re-
tired suIkily. The success received its
"bravo;" France and Europe were
saved-saved by fear of the red spectre
the whole official world gazing proudly
at their Savior.
But in spite Of their Keeling and
winding, notwithstanding all the con-
cessions, trials, paclfcations, execu-
tons, fusiIlades, expectation and trans
portations, the historical development
proceeded and after eighteen years the
party of order found themselves Just as
much threatened in the safe possession
of their spoilsas if I'd of December had
never existed. Bonsparte not feeling
himself secure and strong enough to
crush the awakening conscience of the
Iaboring masses, and resolved to deci-
mate them on the battle field-THERE-

saying "The Empire is peace! "

But what if failing? Why isn't it
more desirable to be the honored,
'feted" guest of king, than to perish
on lantern post?

STEAM BOILER Il -

At the recent meeting Of the British
Association, at Liverpool, an interest
ing report was read by the committee
appointed to consider the various plans
proposed for the prevention of steam
boiler explosions, and on the necessity
Of legislating on the subject. AS the
committee included among its mem
bers such well-known practical and
scientific men as Sir William Fair
BARN, Sir Joseph Whitworth, and John
Penn, the value Of their conclusions
cannot be over-rated. The report
states that in Great Britain about fifty
explosions of steam boilers occur every
year, killing about seventy-fve per
sOu, auI niuring as many others.
The committee says that the explo-
sions are not accidental or mysterious,
but arise from the simplest causes,
and may be prevented by the exercise
Of common knowledge and common
care. Boilers, it is asserted, burst
simply from weakness, and that com
petent inspection i adequate to detect
the weakness in time to prevent the
explosion, while it tends TO stimulate
attendants to carefulness. On analyz-
ing the causes of 297 explosions, it
appears that 1870 explosions, or 40 per
cent, were due to the malconstruction
Of the boilers, either on the shells or
fittings; So explosions, or % per cent,
were due to the defective condition of
the boilers, shells or fittings; "A ex-
ploslons, or Is per cent, were due to
the failure of thu seams Of rivets at the
bottom of externally fired boilers 3s
explosions, or g per cent, were due to
overheating the plates explosions,
or per cent, were due to overpressuTe
of steam arising from tampering with
the safety valve, ard explosions
might he termed accidental. The
committee, in conclusion, assert that
the government should enforce the
periodical inspection of steam boilers.
The committee also report against the
effectiveness Of the inspections made
by boiler Insurance companies, and
submit a powerful argument against
workings Of the latter plan.
