Fred Grant.

There have been, during the past few
months, many touching and pathetic incidents
in the life OF the old hero now lying dead at
Mt. McGregor, which the world will love to
remember of him personally. for he was even
greater in sickness and suffering than he was
in health and strength. Vanquished though
he was in the fight with death, he was still
victor in the struggle with disease. The
grand characteristics of the man, the nobility
of his nature, the loving kindness OF his
heart, all shone more conspicuously in the
hour of pain than they did throughout his
career as a soldier or statesman. During all
his sickness his first thought was not OF bim-
self; but of the dear ones around him, and
his last work was to provide means for their
support when be should be gone. And never
was fatherly love more greatly appreciated
and rewarded.
The country has marked and will remem-
Der the devotion of that family circle to the
diving man. Good old Mother Grant" as
Mrs. Grant used to be called in Washington.
was both a mother and sufferer, and Nellie,
the daughter, who came three thousand miles
from across the sea to shed The light Of her
dear presence across her fathers pathway to
the tomb, was ever a ministering angel by
his side The country too, has learned to
love and admire Fred Grant for his constant
care and devotion to his father. The world
has never seen a more beautiful example of
filial love and duty illustrated. 1t is hard to
say when, through all the weary months,
Fred Grant slept. or ate, or drank. He was
the one whose ministrations seemed constant.
He it was who appears first to have interpret
ed every wish of the dying man when speech
had departed from his lips forever. For
weeks the general had found repose only in
his easy chair. As the final moments ap-
preached the son looked into the fathers
eyes. and seeing there a longing for some
thing not to be expressed in words he asked :
"Would YOU like to lie down 2" and a gentle
nod told how well he had interpreted the
want. Blessings on the head of Fred Grant
for his tender illustrations to our great SOL
der in all his months of illness. Let us
never forget the son when we think Of the
father - Trov Times.

The recent black balling of Bradley Martin,

at. This form of rudeness toward Americans
is proverbial with the average English club

itself wherever and whenever Americans are
concerned The great mistake of these New

OF progress in Kentucky that the Louis

condemn the dsgraceful state of affairs
which exists in that State. When the Ken

indication that there is hope of reform.
This frank admission is now made: "Our
heroes in Kentucky are the murderers.
We pet them and humor them, and strive
not to hurt their feelings. The grand ju-

we make it possible to exclude from a

must submit to the dictum of Off

strong enough to laugh at it.
This sort Of thing is becoming
rather monotonous, and the placing
of power in the hands Of professional
office holders in labor organizations
who hold offices year after year, is
dangerous to the labor movement.
As in public politics it is a recog-
nIzed fact that long terms in posi-

question of a reduction Of the hours

ton should 90 into effect. If this
one single suggestion can be carried
into effect. it will do more than any
thing else to employ the idle work
lngmen who are everywhere in
search Of work, but finding it not
The discussion and agitation which
has already resulted from the action
Of that bod one year ago, has been
Of mcalculable good. Many trades
have already put into operation the
elght-hour idea, and some are com
ing to it gradually by adopting nine
hours, while still others have cur
tailed the working time on Sunday,
but near y all have done something.
In this city the plumbers and plas-
terers have each adopted Il shorter
working day with no opposition
whatever, and with no reduction of
pay. With long pull and a strong
pull and Il pull altogether eight
hours will be cstabIishcc as Il full
days work.
But while We are working for the
establishment Of the eight hour
working day, as something we are in
justice entitled to, We should look to
our own membership in unions and
assemblies. that we do not stuItify
ourselves III securing II merely nomi-
nal reduction of hours, while men
are allowed to work overtime and
thus defeat the very object we have
IN securing work for the I'M

will be but Il mere chimera, and

BOYCOTT.

This little word, 50 harmless III look
and sound, has grown to be, probably,
the most dreaded Of any in our language
1t full meaning was lately eXemplited in
Galveston, where the Knights Of Labor
boycotted the Mallory Steamship Con-
pany. Such was their power that great
trunk lines of railroad, controlling their
millions Of capital, and tens of thousands
of employees, became humble suppllcants
to the men who had imposed this stern
rule, These were no other than the
Executive tommittee of the Knights Of
Labor.
MI lines Of transportation refused to
bring INTO Galveston any freight con
signed to this line because the Executive
Committee Of the Knights OF Labor had
demanded of them that they should not,
under penalty of orderinga strike of their
employees. Proud monopolists were
brought to terms by the sons of toll. the
wages demanded We're given, but at
fearful cost of time, and loss of time and
loss OF pay. But right was triumphant,
labor won, Like great wars. immense
sums and many lives sacrificed. but the
end justified the means.
Boycotting has only once been tried in
Key West and that was by the Gremios,
labor unionlsts, against the street car
company, the owner of which happening

In tins instance it pieasantly ended
though for the time being most rigorous

this terrible and etfectual warfare: it
wins.
In one of our large cities a great news
paper refused to pay the wages demand
ed by the Knights of Labor. and a strike
was ordered. The paper became defiant
and bitter. They went further, and boy
cotted ii. The full meaning of this was
that no one belonging to this order
would trade with man who advertised

not rent house advertised in its col

risks that workers run. The mister

IN the POISONOUS atmOsphcrcs OF

any one that will see. The dangers
to health and the risks Of accident
are not the only risks in the work
crs' world. There are risks which
even the business man can apprcCI-
ate. The folly or misfortune Of
some Specializing boss is often visit
ed upon his hirclmgs in the shape
Of cutting Of wages or being thrown
out Of employment entirely. Still
worse and more horrible risks there
are for the wage working class, that
follow in the train of the others.
Families are rent aSsundcr in the
