Washington advices state that
President Cleveland will abandon the
custom of some of his predecessors. of
spending the Summer months at the
Soldiers Home. The White House
seems to be more congenial to him.
It would be scarcely reasonable to ex-
pect the President to be composed
amid the traditions and associations
that surround the abiding place of
men disabled by war precipitated by
the Democratic party for the purpose
of perpetuating human bondage.
The blank countenance which could
appear uninterested even bored, on
the battlefield of Gettysburg, could
never find congeniality in association
with soldiers. "Why," says Demo-
cratic friend, ''do people refer to the
war-tEe war is over-the South was
whipped" Of course, but the war
was about the biggest thing in the
history of this country, and it be-
comes necessary to refer to it once in
a while. And why not? Who can
object to recital of the events, the
traits. the disasters, the victories, of
the war? Certainly no one who pre-
served an attitude of loyalty, or did a
noble part. If any man served his
country as a patriot, or preserved a
patriotic attitude, during those dark
days, he will delight to hear Of those
days. If he did not, he deserves to
have his conduct cast into his face.

There is a sad case of boycotting
reported from Washington City. A
poor innocent lamb of brewer,
named C. Heinrich, has been boycott
ted by the trades unions. This speci-
men of injured innocence called a
meeting of his Pensioners and others
to consider the situation. To the as
sembly of laboring men he read the
pathetic statements of local doggsry-
keepers that they could hot handle
his own beer, if the men boycotted
him. This was novel argument to
present to intelligent men. Then
this poor, innocent Devils Agent
began to advise the working-men as
to their own interests. "Emancipate
yourselves said he, ''but try don't en-
slave Others" This in full know
ledge Of the fact that his whole hor-
rible, devilish business depends for
success upon the enslavement of
others. He was ''laboring man"
hiaself. These fellows are all labor
ing men. They have to remain up,
nightly, until nearly midnight, rak-
ing in the earning of better men than
themselves. 1t seems remarkable that
they can stand up under so much
fatiguing labor. The talk Of such
cattle about being laboring-men, the
friends of labor, public benefactors,
and kindred nonsensical claims, is
positively disgusting. The only in
terest they take in labor, or laboring-
men, is for the purpose Of obtaining
their money without giving them an
equivalent-and worse, by selling
them poison. When one of these
imps of Satan once gets laboring
man, or any other man, enslaved to
him, he keeps him enslaved by de-
stroying his physical powers, and
taking all his money, only leaving
the slave the craving appetite for the
miserable slops sold by the imp He
thriyes by keeping men in the worst
form of slavery, and unblushingly
asks them not to boycott his business,
because he could not sell so much
slop if they do. 1t is beginning to be
understood, at last, what is really the
principal cause of hard times. 1t is
noticeable that a great number of
doggery- keepers in almost every
town and city, thrive, no matter how
much men may cry out about hard
times. Every dollar spent at dog
gerry is worse than thrown away.
Suppose all the vast amount of money
thrown away in this horrid business
were used in supporting and educat-
ing the families of the men who spend
it. Do you think times would be as
hard with those families as at pres
ent? Did any of us ever see dog
gery-keeper suffering from hard
times? He may complain that times
are not so good as he would like to
have them, but he is in no danger of
suffering financially. Like this Wash
ington philanthropist, all doggery-
keepers are free with advice to the
men who support them in idleness.
But they never advise them not to
drink any more-until they are drunk
and only then because the seller of
poison is afraid the good people will
look upon his den with the contempt
which it deserves.
