THE BOYCOTTERS' DEMAND.

Indemnity" of $4,000.

They Want Straiton & Storm to Pay "War
Indemnify of $4,000.
New York Times.
The request which the delegates of the Cigar
makers Progressive Union made to the Central
Labor Union, on Sunday, not to remove the
boycott from the firm of Straiton & Storm. has
elected reply from the members of the firm.
who, on Dec. IL, received a letter from Frederick
Turner, secretary of the Knights Of Labor, at
Philadelphia, informing them that the Knights
had ordered the boycott to be removed. MIR. Tur-
ner says in his letter. after a full investigation
into the boycotting of your cigars the executive
board deem that there is cause for it's mante-
nance, and therefore order its removal Due
notice will be published to the ORDER in the off,
cial Journal of the removal of the boycott on the
Straiton & Storm cigar
The firm has also received copies of q circular
issued by John p. Caville, officer of the
Knights of Labor, in which he says that he
signed q circular a year ago advising the boy
cotting Of the cigars of the firm. Later he
learned that not three out of the two thousand
operatives that we're employed by the firm had
any fault to find with their employers that when
the silk weavers struck Mr Storm at once gave
fifty of them permanent employment and that
the firm pays its employees from Is to 40 per cent
more for work than any other concern in thiS
part of the country, ard he therefore begged all
the members of the brotherhood to remove the
boycott
Mr.. Straiton further states that he recently
had an interview with Mr.. Cuno, who represented
himself as an editor of the Vokszeitung, the
organ Of the Socialists of this city, and who said
he represented the perpetual boycotters, who,
when they once made war upon concern waged
of determination. Mr.. Cuno claimed that
the tax levied by them upon certain brewer
was an evidence of what they could accomplish,
and stated that it had cost them $4,000 to
boycott Straiton & Storms goods. They
expected the firm to pay them that
amount Mr.. Straiton declared that il
was black mail, pure and simple. Mr.
Cuno is said to have replied that boycotting was
war. and that the vanquished would have to pay
the victor. In reply to another remark Of Mr..
Straiton that he didn't believe that the Ameri-
workman would allow himself to be used for
black mail, Mr.. Cuno characterized the horny
handed son of toll as hog and an uureasoning
beast who must be made to feel how much the
capitalist was his natural enemy. with whom he
must grapple and whose property he was to
sieze. AS for cooperation. Mr.. Cuno called it n
humbug. He added that the boycotters might
possibly arrange the matter for 81, 900, but Mr.
Straiton refused to pay dollar.

is not as an indemnity, but to reimburse indi-
viduals of other nations whose property was
interfered with during the "war.'

THE new point in constitutional law de-
veloped at Chicago contains no profound
mystery, nor any hair splitting point to
puzzle lawyers, unless, as usual in cases that
result in preventing justice, the letter of the
law is allowed to kill the spirit. That the
constitution Of Illinois should attempt to dis
qualify any citizen who does not believe in
the inspiration of the Bible is surprising in
this age Of the world. It is hard to under
stand how belief or disbelief in the Scriptures
could affect mans veracity. There is many
an honest man who does not think the
Scriptures inspired while there are millions
even in this country, who are free to confess
their disbelief in the inspiration of the New
Testament This kind of structure on the
part of the Illinois Constitution would prac-
tically shut out every Hebrew in the State,
and men by the hundreds and thousands who
have given this subject but little, if any, at
law would exclude all who do not accept
the Koran. No Christian, nor any man be-
ieving the Christian the only true religion,
could testify. In other countries, where other
beliefs obtain, both Mohammedan and Chris
tian would be excluded from the witness
stand Fanaticism of this description has
been confined to countries and peoples where
enlightenment does not prevail, and any who
try to make it a feature of organic law in
America will fail. The fact that a man is
Christian goes far toward establishing his
trustworthiness. This is especially true if he
be consistent Christian and an upright,
moral citizen. But, if it so happens that a
man not Christian stand before the law the
fact that he is not may not operate to his
harm. In land whore religious liberty is
made one Of the foundation stones of the re-
public, the government cannot afford to pro-
scribe any citizen on account of his belief or
disbelief The constitution that does not rec
ognize this fact cannot stand.

PHILLIPS, the wife-murderer, is represented
as Indifferent to his fate. This will make the
duty of the sheriff all the easier. No sense
less technicality should be allowed to defeat
justice in this instance. The murderously-in
clined in this city need an object lesson, and
it would be well to give them to understand
that hanging is morally certain to follow un-
provoked murder. Men and women with a
just appreciation of the terrible nature of the
crime Of murder do not grow sentimental over
the fate of the villains guilty of such atrocity.

IT is thought that not less than So, 600, 900
in gold will leave New York this week for
Europe. 1t may or may not be. the prelude
of general expectation of gold, but it has
an ugly appearance and Americans would
rection. But the forced coinage of silver can
not be kept up indefinitely without some such
effect as the one now noted. With gold flying
the country, the balance in the Treasury in
creasing and the national debt not reduced,
the new administration is not making an en-
viable reputation.

The Louisville Commercial gives pretty
good outline Of Democratic inconsistency, not
to say dishonesty, in dealing with financial
matters when it says: "With few inmate
rial and uninfuential exceptions, Kentucky
Democrats were opposed to the original issue
of greenbacks, then in favor of more green
backs then in favor Of paying off the bonds
in greenbacks, then opposed to the resumption
of specie payments, and always in favor Of in
fation and inferior money" The same is
true of Democrats everywhere.

right; it's wrong to steal, and I'm glad you
don't do it." Afterwards Sam chuckled over
his narrow escape. eff he'd said ducks,

now, so far as the country is concerned.

A Too-CURIoUs exchange says if there is
any good reason for holding secret executive
sessions Of the United States Senate it is not
generally known There is good reason. If
the discussions engaged in within the past
two weeks by that digniied body when in

country are spared many bushes and much
evil communication by not being forced to lis
