The shoemakers' strike in Lynn and
other towns in Massachusetts betrays
very interesting and somewhat serious
state of things. 1t shows that the striking
power in this country has become an
organized and formidable agency, similar to
what it is in England. Its obedieut sub
jects are no longer numbered by the score,
or the hundred; they constitute an army.
There are 5000 Crispins organized in the
strike at Lynn, and half as many more
participating in it at other places, and yet
1t is not exactly strike after all; it is a
lockout by the proprietors, who refuse TO
submit to the rules prescribed by the board
OF arbitration, or the board of dietatiou. I"
as the employers call it-a body of Crispins
who assume to make laws for the govern
ment of all the factories, and whose orders
the employees implicitly obey. The female
employees sympathize with the men; they
refused to work when they learned that the
employers demanded that no one working
for them shonld be member of the Crispin
society, and marched through the streets
OF Lynn, IN heavy rain, singing song of
defiance. Both sides declare they will not
yleld-the shoemakers asserting that will
not go to work again till the manufactures
assent to the rules proposal by the board of
arbitration and the masters vowing that
they will not submit their business, I'M
involving 500, 900, 900 capital, to the govern
ment of board of irresponsible men.
The issue is said to be desperate one, the
ultimatum of each side being, virtually, the
absolute surrender and submission of the
other. The struggle will, therefore, be-
long and bitter. The workmen and women
are numerous enough to have a good deal
of influence on public opinion the neighbor-
hood, and it is said they are encouraged to
hold out by the abundant supplies sent
them by their friends. The trouble will not
come to an end without inficting serious
injury on both parties. L, Rep.

A Perfect Toilet SOaD.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is q good
article of Soap, but to procure it is always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this subject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
y If applied to the head injuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF n gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business; he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill OF Mr.:
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by far the greatest of the kind In the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific experl
ment Mr. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinE the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry.
xss'B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
BY which this elegant toilet a1nry Is desig9areo
children and ladies, it is altogether unequaled In LIE
emollient properties This Soap is not perfumed
the Ingredients being OF such absolute purity as tC
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence Of artificial perfume the perfection OF
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic OF b. l.
Rabbit Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu

HOME NEW -.

New School HOUSE. Everybody is
Interested IN educational matters and the
building of a new School Housein Weav-
ervile is a popular move. 1t is hoped
that a general turn out Of citizens and Il
full expression o:opinion will be had ne It
Sunday afternoon at the meeting called
At the Court House. The question of To-
caity is one of much importance and
should not be decided hastily. Let our
people visit the various accessible places
suggested and see for themselves the ad /.
vantages claimed for each, SO they may
act understandingly. There is now over
$4,000 in the fund of this District which
can be used for building purposes and it
should be SO applied and the new School
House erected this Summer. While that
amount is not sufficient to complete such
a buildngss is desired it will make a
good start, and ways should be devised
for raising more. A commodious, COM
Portable and reasonably ornamental build
ing Is what is needed. Let all citizens
be present next Sunday afternoon at 2
O'Clock and talk the matter over. 1t is
bJtter to have I" say" " on the start than
to force the whole matter into the hands
of the Trustees and then stand back and
"growl when it is too late. The Trus-
tees have asked for this meeting and it
should be fully attended.

OUR MEMBER.-Am mid the general
complaint at the Legislature just adjourn
ell, all admit that it contained some hon
orable, upright mem bers, among whom
must be counted the Hon. j. G. Monta-
que, Assem5lyman from Shasta and
Trinity. The DR.. has no ability as an
orator-never claimed any, and naturally
despises garrulous politicians but he
has made " faithful, earnest working
member. He has succeeded in securing
all needed local Legislation, SO far as we
know, and as Chairman of the Assembly
Com mittee on State Hospitals has, done
good service in showing up the fraudu-
liant charitable institutions which solicit
and receive State aid, and dispense char
ity only for value received. Had there
been more members with DR.. Montague's 's
integrity of purpose, there would have
been less bad legislation. We believe his
course in the Assem- bly, will meet with
the full approval OF his constituents.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1878-04-06

QuEsTIoN OF PRIvILEGE.-Th follow
ing is from the Records report of last
Saturdays proceedings in the Assembly:
Mr.. Montague rose to question of
privilege. He stated that an advaxtiso.
ment had appeared in the Record. Tyn;oo
signed by Ir. Benjamin F. Hardy, stvl-
ing himself Secretary of the San Francis
co Lying-ln Hospital, rejecting upon the
COMMITTED on Slate Hospitals of the As
sembly and particularly upon himself.-
The advertisement stated that the COM
mlttee had gone beyond its duties in hunt
ing up evidence derogatory to himself
ana his institution. The statement was
altogether false and without foundation.
The article further stated that the com
mlltee had been tampered with. He de-
sired to state that the only ono who had
attempted to tamper with the committee
was the so called DR.. Hardy himself. He
had been here tampering with the Legis
lature for long time. DR.. HARDY had
made the attempt to tsmper with him
and he had been compelled to order him
to leave his desk that il he did not do so
he would appeal to the Speaker and have
him put off the floor by the Sergeant. at
Arms. Hardy had stated under oath the
facts set forth in the report of the com.
miitee that he did not use the money
appropriated by the State (S3, ,000) for the
benefit of the poor; that he charged pa
tients $50 month, and $75 extra for their
confinement. When he (Montague) learn
ed these facts he did not care to make any
further investigation into the institution,
as he did not think any one would ask a
State appropriation for such an institu-
tion. ltdid not then even pretend to be
charitable institution. Afterwards
Hardy had attempted to induce him to
ma ke false statement. He had refused
to do SO, and ordered Hardy away from
his desk. He referred members to the
report Of the Committee on Hospitals of
the Assembly, and also to page q Of the
Senate committees report.

such expressions as "A white man wont

Bat hit the Gilman an "bat" over the
head with shovel virtually "laying him

DEEP SNow.-Any one who has no

tain during past Winters can, by com
parison, form tolerable estimate of the
depth of snow thereon at the present
time. Mr.. VIM. s. Lowden has taken
regular observations with his surveying
glass and noted certain trees on the
Mountain as land marks, or rather
snow marks" He estimates the depth
OF snow on the West Weaver side, near
the summit at 30 feet, and it is probable
That there is that quantity. The snow
coming late in the season, after the mid
his OF January, has not packed so closely
as when, in other seasons, it has fallen in
the Fall OF the year and early Winter
lhdre is enough, however, to insure plen-
ty OF water until late in the Summer, and
on that account does the miner rejoice.

FEED is springing up all over the hills.


People suffer a great deal Of pain un-
necessarily. Among tortures that need
not be endured are those inflicted by the
rheumatism and gout, since the acrid ell
ement in the blood which produces them
by contact with the sensitive covering of
tie muscles and joints may be eliminated
by the use Of that matchless depurent,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, before the
uAammstory symptoms are developed to
any great extent. When it is considered
what excruciating tortures rheum atism
nGcts, and what a tendency it has when
fully developed, to attach the heart, the
advisibiltv of an early use of such re-
liable antidote becomes at once apparent.
The rheumatic virus is expelled from the
blood by the increased action Of the kid
neys-whch act rs produced
by the Bitters and the sufferer will find,
if he uses this supreme defensive agent,
that he will be protected against a return
of the agonizing complaint. Dyspepsia,
fever and ague, liver and bowel com
plants and other maladies, are also cured
by this admirable remedy.
