Wine Out BIue-BIoodism.

"Pve faced worse mobs and hung bet,
ter men than you" said Ben Butler, one
day last week, to the bowling republican
mob that beset him on every side, and
the expression serves to give us all idea
of the savageness of the political fight
now going on in the home Of Puritanism
The blue blood" mounts high in the
veins of the aristocratic lords of Beacon
Hill, and the manner in which they do
battle and exert themselves leaves US the
impression that really they are mortals
after all. They want ito rescue the good
name of the state" they want to wipe
out the disgrace of Butlerism;" in other
words they wish to cover up the nauseous
sores exhibited to the word by the only
man in Massachusetts that dare do it.
But thev cannot. Humanity shudders
at the exhibition and applauds the ply
sician bold and skillful enough to ply
the scalpel and lay bare the corruption
that made merchandise of man-that
starved his body in life and debased his
covering in death.
No, Boston "blue bloodism" is on the
wrong track this time, There is but one
way to wipe out the disgrace brought
upon Massachusetts, by the debasement
of her own manhood, and that is to decry
the horrible state Of things brought to
light by Ben Buffers Tewksbury poor
house investigation, to stamp the seal OF
condemnation upon such acts of inhu-
manity and place the penalty of ostra'
cism upon the guilty ones or those who
abet such barbarities by striking at the
man who revealed them, who cast aside
the mockery of state pride for the higher
dignity of manhood. May Ben Butler
win against all the money of New York
and Massachusetts, backed by the cult
ure" of Boston, and may the traitors to
the human race be taught lesson in the
coming election that others will remem'
Der when they contemplate such crimes
in the future.-Irish World.

Rated.

At the regular meeting of the Journey
men Tailors' Protective Society held No
vember 6, the following resolutions
were passed:
Resolved, that L. Harrison, of 26S
Seventeenth street, be stricken off the
list of fair shops and be placed on the
unfair list. That all union tailors be re.
quested to keep away from that firm.
Resolved, that copy of this resolu-
ton be sent to the Trades Assembly
that they may strike his name off their
list of fair shops.
Resolved, that copy of these resou-
tions be sent to the LABOR ENQUIRER for
publication.
Mr.. Editor: In asking you to publish
this would like to say few words in
explanation. L. Harrison has at several
times objected and refused to pay the
scale of prices agreed upon by him when
he signed ourconstitution. A short time
since he discharged the union men en-
ployed by him and taking on non-unior
men to fill their places, at the same time
stating that he would have no more
union r1en. We would therefore ask al
that have the interest of the workmer
at heart to effectually boycott l.. Har
rison until he agrees to again employ
union men. ID. IT..

ity, and in four short months it must
succumb for want of that proper support
due it. No class of men receive less
money and less thanks for the efforts
they put forth in behalf of the oppressed
than do editors of labor papors. The
oppressed cry out for deliverance from
the hand of the oppressor, and when 4
lending hand is given them to aid them
in throwing off this yoke of oppression
they see it go down for want of nourish-
ment. The workingmen will vet see the
day when they will cry out in all their
agony for the presence of these same
journals which have gone down for want
of their assistance. Workingmen seem
to think that the editor of paper when
walking around (he knows not what for),
is having a good time, lives on the fat of
the land, and has what they term "a soft
thing" For shame, workingmen, for
shame.-C Cleveland Messenger.

one OF Turgenefr,s Stories.

Just before his recent, the Russian
Turgeneff put out some deep satirical
trihes. Here is one of them:

brotherhood with knot of workmen.

of tar; of what smell yours%

fetters for your sake"
"Oh, so you would be rebel, would
you?"
Two years afterwards the workman
meets another, and hears that the man
with white hands is going to be hanged

Revolution in Europe.

The Rev. Robert Laird Collier, for

England, in letter to Chicago paper
not long ago says that England is panic
stricken. Dynamite, dynamite, dyna-
mite everywhere. You have heard OF
the arrests in Birmingham and London
of the men who have been manufactur-
ing nitroglycerine, but you have not
heard across 1000 miles of land and
water the echo of the feeling in England.
This feeling is very complex. Thepubllc
press suppresses this feeling, as it deems,
IN the interest of social order. The
dominant conviction is that we are just
at the beginning of European political
and social revolution. The old regime is
drawing to its close. 1t is given out
that never again will crown be permit
ted to be placed upon a head in Europe

If the workingmen of New Jersey
permit Jonathan Dixon to be elected
governor, they deserve to be tarred and
feathered. Dixon is the man who, as
Judge, imprisoned Mcdonnell, the editor
of the Patterson Labor Standard, for
telling the truth in his paper. Dixon
said he would not fine him, because the
people of Patterson would Immediately
subscribe the amount. This vindictive
corporation tool should be buried under
the votes of the workingmen and farmers
of that state. If they do not squelch
Dixon they deserve to be slaves.-st,
Louis Union.
If Dixon were candidate in Denver
he would be elected by an overwhelming
majority. The workingmen here love to
lick the hand that strikes them.

What the Sterling Champion of the
People Says IN . Private
Letter.

MY Dear Buchanan.
FT. Collins, Nov. 5.-I have just re
ceived and read letter signed by your
self and friends in reference to the Chat
fee announcement that ! am to addres
q public mass meeting tonight in Den
yer.
i am surprise that any of my friend
could be led to believe or even suspec
for a moment that Icould be base enough
to be guilty of such damnable conduct
1t is true that received polite in
vitation to address the meeting but
did not deign a reply.
Last year my entire crop was destroyed
by hail and was left penniless and il
debt. Several prominent wire pulling
republicans thought it was good time
to offer me a bribe, and they did actually
offer me $1,000 if | would agree to obey
their dictates. This year the hail has
destroyed three fourths of my crop and
Isuppose they imagine ! am reduced low
enough to take anything offered. They
have not sufficient money among all
their millionaires to bribe me to say one
word in their favor.
Since leaving the republican party in
1878 have been belied and slandered
constantly. Twas prosecuted with the
utmost rigour, my wife and children left
without roof to protect them, until /
managed to build a log shanty which l
bought on time for SIS. I.would not sur
render then, although the workers Of the
state were not organiyed-and ! am sure
l am not to be conquered now when l
have shanty all my own for my family
and can see my fellow laborers stand
ing shoulder to shoulder in the dawn of
organized victory. 1t is evident to me
that labor is gaining ground in Denver
when Chafee and his minions resort to
such dodges to try to break our ranks.
Say for me always and at any time that
l have enlisted for the war and that I
will be found, while life lasts, fighting to
the best of my ability against all who
oppose in any manner the elevation of
the laboring man. =
| differ at times, in non-essentials with
men who are equally earnest, but my
platform is broad enough for all human.
ity. l know no creed, no cline, no sect,
sex or race in my utopia.
I am opposed to kings, queens, land
lords and all their supporters-and ad-
vocate the education of the masses not
the A B C business of to-day, but the
full and complete education of every
child at the expense of the state for the
good of society.
With respect to you and your friends
and with pride in your sterling manhood,
1 remain, yours for humanity,

A TYrant.-if He Could.

We are glad to see that the Irishmen
of Canada are not going asleep over the
introduction of the exterminator, Lans-
downe, as their English,appointed gov
ernor. Like a thief in the night. he stole
in, guarded by the dock police, we'll
armed, and surrounded by spies and
human watch-dogs, and in the fashion of
the czar of Russia, he was sworn into
office.
Lansdowne robbed and starved his
Kerry tenants at home. Like beasts of
burden, they carried the seaweed from
the beach up the steep cliffs to manure
their little patches of land and when,
by unremitting toll, they had turned
the wild heather spots into patches of
oats or wheat, he rewarded their indus
try by raising their rent, and by exter-
minating them if they would not pay his
price,
When lifelong course of this weary
slave-driving, and an occasional wet sea-
son, had changed the men to famished
skeletons, the English Lansdowne, lord
of Kerry, without any ceremony, packed
them off, huddIed ten in one compart-
ment, in the reeking hold of the emf
grant ship; to this country, and as one
large ward of the old New York Hospi-
tai was altogether devoted to the Lans-
downe "consignments," it was named the
0Iansdowne Ward"
The free-minded, independent think
ing Canadians of Irish decent, or other
wise, display a pralseworthy spirit in
their cold reception of this man. To
what use is all the advance of ciViliza'
ton all the brave deeds done, and sac
rifices made by daring heroes, if men
to-day, are frightened, cowardly beings
who, when they are kicked and trodden
on, will not turn?
There is no doubt that Lansdowne
would not have got the nomination tc
this nice sinecure, but that he had a high
character of fitness for the Office. The
emigration scheme was on at the time
and Canada, Manitoba and the Wllc
wastes surrounding it we're the burla
places intended by the government fol
the poor hunted victims of ireland
But when the dumping first was noticed
IN New York, the intelligence of the
city spoke out, and while it had vel
come to all who Voluntarily came tt
make living, it put summary stop tt
this little game of England's. The Can
adian projected dumping then fell to tn
ground, and Lansdowne, whose experl
ence as an Irish exterminator had beel
put into requisition, found himself, hk'
Othello, with his occupation gone.
He now holds the position OF governo
general of Canada, butwith doubtful
tenure, as he may be recalled on tn
ground that the particular job for whlcl
he was chosen has bursted or he ma,
get so disgusted with the coolness OF nj
welcome that he may himself elect t

P1rTsBURG, November THE an
nouncement that the Lackawanna iron
mills has taken contract for $4,000 tons

considerable talk among those interested
in the industry here. Thomas NJ. Car
negie, of Edgar Thompson & Co., Pitts

said they could not manufacture rails at
that rate, and as the orders on hand
would not keep the mills running longer
than the first of January they would
probably be compelled to shut down by
the stopping Of the mills. At Home
