The Ball.

The first annual ball of Local Assembly
52ls, which was given in Lincoln club hall on
Tuesday evening, was a supreme success
The hall was literally jammed full of merry,
makers from 9 o'clock until after midnight,
when the crowd was reduced sufficiently to
make dancing more comfortable, and conse-
quently more enjoyable. 1t was estimated
that there were over $50 couples present.
The music was furnished by Ralph Warren
who did the prompting, and both were excel
lent and gave entire satisfaction. So many
were present that it is simply impossible to
publish the list entire, and The ENQUIRER
has NO fayorites among the noble army of
workers.
While the ball was a grand success, one
mistake by the committee of arrangements,
which mistake it is not likely will not be re-
peated at the next annual, and that was, the
hall they engaged was not large enough.
though it is one Of the largest in the city.
Nothing short of the rink will do them next
time.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The' echo of the
dynamite explosion among the striking
hatters of North Norwalk is raising a
world of talk in this quarter of the
country. The hatters' association is no
more responsible for it than the Van
derbilt corporation. The South Nor
walk strike has been carried on under
the most pacific auspices. The man are
as peaceful as are the workers in other
Connecticut factories Most of them are
family men, living in their own houses,
and belonging to the church, and a sug-
gestiOn of using dyna mite as means Of
gaining their strike Is the very last
thing they would think Of If ever the
facts are got at, it may be taken for
granted that the Hatters Union will
stand fully acquitted The hatters of
this city, Brooklyn and Newark are
doing good work in the way of raising
funds for the relief of their brothers at
South NOrwalk.
Boycotting is taking a lively turn
hereabout. A month ago Ehret's beer
was ,boyCOtted, but the boycott was
withdrawn when Ehret surrendered

There is no doubt that the system Of
bOycOttlng tells, and it acts as a counter
agent to blacklisting, The Central
Labor Union and Knights of Labor are
taking hand in these boycotting ope
ratiOns.

ngmen to institute an Or!er to be known as
the Honorable Order of the Halter to deco
rate all such t1unkeyS as vote for such bills as
No. 33, introduced by the senator from Arap-
ahoe as the G. G. & [. company's reform bills.
They should also introduce the full picture
OF that far-Otf date. There being no men suf-
hClently skilled to trace out the guilt of an
offender, it was their custom to appeal the
case to the decision Of heaven; the suspected
man was requested to meet his antagonist in
single combat and the right was held to be
on his side who was so fortunate as to ceave
the head of his antagonist, or pierce him
through With'a lance. But probably the SEN
atOr from ArapahOe would hesitate before in
Producing such a measure as this lest suspi-
ciOn should fall upon himself, and some
sturdy member Of the Trades Assembly
should ask him to come and settle it in ac-
cOrdance wi h the above code. Its devoutly
to be desired that all such bills be reIegated
to the waste PAPER basket rather than dis
grace the statute book of Colorado. 1t is
great pity that men with minds so small anC
hearts so much out of sympathy with human
ity and the age in which we live are not alsf
relegated back to private life rather than be
ing found in the halls of the legislature. The
time is past and gone when such measure:
as the above can be carried out in a lane
where the people are free men and all mer
! born equal. They do not fit in with the Spiri
of the age in which we live. A UNIoNIsT.

The State Legislature.

"Forsaken by my friends, killed in
committee, and buried beyond resurrec-
ton in the Senate" is the epltaph on the
tombstone of senate bill! No. 33. 1t
seems that some of Mr.. Carpenters
friends played a practical joke and fur
nished him a small coin to lay his
famous bill in. It's not fair to charge
that joke upon the workingmen. Out
side of the burying of bill No. 80 nothing
has transposed in senate of direct i'm
portance to us since last report.
In the house Mr. Ferguson's bill No.
1O4 provides that when a justice of the
peace renders judgment for wages if the
parties sued shall take an appeal and it
can be shown that the appeal was taken
for the purpose of delay there shall be
added to the cost an amount from fifteen
to twenty-five per cent according to the
amount sued for, to be given to the plain
tiff.
House bill No. 1O7, by Mr. Ferguson,
to legalize labor unions for mechanics
and others is Penn. law, and fit reads
like that one its name does not indicate
its object. The bill is not printed vet,
so we cannot tell just what it is.
House bill No. 176 by Mr.. Gilmore,
makes all corporations and companies
responsible for personal injuries their
employees may sustain.
House bill No, 1877, regulating the en-
ployment of children, was read the sec
ond time and referred to the committee
on education.
House bill No. 16+ for some reason or
other was printed about thirty bills
ahead of It's turn and was on the calen-
dar to be read Tuesday but the House
did not get to it. We have been In
formed that an extra large number Of
these bills has been presented.
House bill No. 1872, by Mr.. Kohn, is tc
amend the lien law and to make 1t more
effective.
House bill No. 208, by Mr.. Bradley, to
regulate the payment Of wages to EN-
ployes kills the "ironclad" end trucE
system. H.

hundred miles of territory in Scotland

and to chase from the lands which their
fathers titled long before this intruder
was ever heard of the wretched peasants
who were convicted of the crime of
keeping pet lamb within the sacred
precincts of a deer forest Are the game
laws right OF property? Is it a right
of property that sailors should be sent
to sea to pursue their dangerous occupa-
ton without any sufficient regard to
their security? Lastly, is it an essential
condition of private ownership in land
that the agricultural laborers in this
country, alone of civilized countries,
should be entirely divorced from the
soil they till, that they should be driven
into towns to compete with YOU for
work, and to lower the rate of wages,
and th.t ali ke, in town and country, the
laborlng population should be huddled
into dwellings unfit for man or beast,
where the conditions of common de-
cency are impossible, and where the
conditions lead directly to disease, In
temperance and crime? These are
questions which l hope you will ask at
the next election, and to which you will
demand an answer. Do not suffer your
selves to be turned aside; do not be d.
verted. The owners of property-those
who are interested in tho existing state
of things, the men who have privileges
to maintain-would be glad to entrap
you from the right path by raising the
cry of fair trade, under which they
cover their demand for protected indus
try, and in connection with which they
would tax the food Of the people in
order to raise the rents of the land
lord. Protection very likely might-it
probably would--have this result it
would increase the incomes of owners
of great estates, and it would swell the
profits of the capltalilts who were fortu-
nate to engage in the best protected in
dustries. But it would lessen fhe total
production of the country, it would di-
minish the rate of wages, and it would
raise the prices Of everv necessary Of
life. e.-Chamberlain, NJ. P.
