The Roycott n Aiistake.

The subject of the boycott is now be- ing vigorously treated and condemned by number of independent journals, whose fidelity to the real interests of the laboring man cannot be questioned. It is held that there should be an abandon. ment of this species of warfare against employers, not because it injures the lat ter, which may be questioned, but be- cause it really injures those whom it is intended to aid. On the very surface of things this assertion is seen to be well founded. In, and of itself, the boycott inures strikers ol laborers because it is an unfair arbitra means of gaining an end Every mal has an individual right to bargain or trade where he will, but no man or body of men can right fully deny th>' privilege to another. There is another feature of the case which the laboring man should not over- look, The boycott once begun, leads inevitably to bitterness of feeling; bitter ness of feeling leads almost inevitably to lawlessness, if not to riot; these lead to an alienation of that public sympathy which is most potent factor in the solu' ton of all social problems, and, without which, strikes nearly always fail It is the laboring mans best friend who coun- sells him to be moderate in all things, and it is these, too, who tell him that the boycott should be abandoned.-Virgina City Enterprise.

The Washing Problem solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done. The force of this argument has been re- moved by modern invention-the "Lit- tie Joker" washing machine. This ma chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thirds of the time and three.fourths of the labor. It washes clean and saves wear of clothes. Call and inspect it. Mrs. Grant, agent.

CHAS. REMNANTS DEATH.
Shot Down In Gala Bieod by Fred
 Sweet

Mir. Miller, who arrived from Hermo-
 sllo, yesterday evening, brings particu-
 lars of the murder of Charley Benham,
 in that city, the news of which was given
 in the EPITAPH yesterday.
 It appears that a short time ago, while in Tucson, Mir. Benham engaged man named Fred Sweet, to take care of his horses, in Sonora. On Wednesday after noon, Mir Benham took his wife out for drive, in buggy, around Hermosillo. There was a shotgun in the buggy. Up on returning to the hotel, he told Sweet 10 take the team and put it up. Instead of dong so, Sweet drove the team about town, for an hour or more. Benham, happening to meet him, asked why he had not followed his directions, to which Sweet replied, insolently, that he would put the team up when he got ready. A few more hot words followed, when Sweet said "You - -, if you speak to me any more, I'll kill you !" Closely following on this, he raised the gun and shot Benham in the hip, drop ping him to the ground and firing an other shot at him, as he lay there. The dying man was carried into the hotel, where he survived only half an hour. Sweet was arrested and lodged in jail. If the usual course of Mexican justice is followed in this case, he is not likely to lastsmore than a few days.
 The murderer Sweet was formerly em- pleyed by J. o. Dunbar, in the Fashion stable, of this city. A year and four months ago, he had an alte,catien in the Fashion saloon with A. H. Davis, now in jail here, for the killing of a negro. In this scuff1e, Sweet had an eye cut out. He left Tombstone about ten months ago. His native state is Connecticut, where he has family.

A gentleman, who arrived from Mac. osar yesterday, reports that Geronimo with 72 Indians, of whom about 90 were bucks, passed Fronteras on Sunday, and camped on the Fronteras river. They there killed some cattle, had big pow WOW and a feed, staying until between four and five o'clock, when they struck out for the south. The bucks were all we'll armed. As this number of bucks does tally with the number of hostiles, who went off with Geronimo, it would seem that the renegades must have ob- tained endorsements.

There are fifty scouts camped near the mouth of Ash Canyon, in the Huachucas. The other day, three ot these scouts rode up to the residence of Mrs. Hollenstein and pointed their guns at the lady, nearly soaring her to death. They also went to Mexican ranch and com pelled a woman to cook them some dinner. It would be well for the officers in command of these ruffians to look after them little.

Tbry Charge sDgersoii with un-
fair Dealing.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 4.=Early
in October the ninth annual congress of
the Liberal League of America was held
in this city. One of the advertised at
fractions was lecture by Col. r. G. In
gersoll. The Colonel came on the last
day OF the congress and delivered his
discourse to large audience. A short
time since the Secular Age, the organ OF
the League, charged that Col. Ingersoli
had not dealt fairly with the League. 1t
declared that it was we'll understood be-
fore he came here that the proceeds OF
his lecture should be turned into the
treasury of the National League, and it
was only on those conditions that he was
engaged to come. 1t is charged further
that after the lecture Col. 1ngersolis
agent took charge of the receipts, paving
to the Cleveland League only enough to
pay the expenses of the Congress III ex-
cess of $40, raised by the Cleveland
League. The remainder, amounting to
$3.50. was handed over to the Colonel
and not turned into the treasury OF the
National League, according to agree,
ment. These charges were commented
upon by Free Thinkers and at yesterday s
meeting of the Cleveland League q
spirited discussion ensued. At the close
Of the meeting resolutions were unanim-
ously adopted demanding of the Seere-
tary of the American Secular Union, the
name of the new league, an itemized
statement OF the expenditures and re-
celpts of the recent Congress, and also
what became OF the profits, if any there

From the first our esteemed con-
temporary, the Erening Express, has
stood in with the people on the ques-
ton OF whether or no it would be
right to allow Mr.. Tax Collector
Hammond to bestow a largess Of
twelve or fifteen hundred dollars OF
the peoples money upon the Times
II is not disposed to be whistled down
the wind, and thus neatly responds
10 the Pecksniff journals editorial Of
Sunday morning.
Speaking OF the matter Of printing
the county delinquent tax list, our
esteemed but evidently vexed con
temporary, the Times, says:
Now. the Republican Board having fixed
the rate at only little more than enc. hall
used 10 get the work, Il Is safe 70 say that
the Hoard and the Tax Collector, hr. Ham
mond, will be sustained by the public IN
carrying ont the law. which says that the
Tax Collector shall caase the same the list
TO be published" The matter Is In their
hands, and II Is not probable that they VIII
permit themselves to be either bamb oozled
or buildozed by the HERALD Express com
bination.
Our contemporary forgets that up
to last year, whom the new county
Government bill went into effect, the
DELINQUENT Tax List WAS given out to
the lowest bidder, alter due adver-
tisement for sealed proposals, and
that two years ago the Times obtained
the printing, Notwithstanding there
were Democratic Board and DEM
ooratjc Tax Collector. The fixing OF
prices by the Board amounts to simply
liking the maximum price, and the
Tux Collector nor any other official
would be sustained by the public
in giving out piece OF work Tor a
thousand or fifteen hundred dollars
when responsible parties stand ready
to do il for two hundred and fifty dol
Iars-even for the purpose oil reward
ing alleged partisan services, which
| the Times claims to have rendered
| So far as these services are concerned
| 1t can be said that there il scarcely a
prominent man in the Republican
party OF this county that the Time
has not at one time or another wan
tonly snubbed, or attempted te
snub, or reckiessly abused. Wher
the county Republican ticket was hrs
nominated two years ago composed
of the men who are now the county
oificers-it damned ii with faint praist
the following morning, and its supper
of at least part OF ii was simply cole
and perfunctory. Its disposition L
meddle in every little matter OF ind
vidual interest in the party, and III
flshmonger style OF expressing its dis
satisfaction with what does not sui
either one or the other OF its TIVE
| Colonels-and as they always ihlnl
differently, one OF them is invariably
displeased--t Times is the occasion
OF more bad feeling and pickering il
the party than all other causes com
bined Why it should claim to be tn
"only and anointed one" in tn
Republican party, we are unable t.
understand. The Cypress has "don
the State some SERVICE" but it ask
for no special privilege on that az
count. We simply wish an oppoi
tunity to compete forpublic work, an
object to the Delinquent Tax List be
ing sneaked up the back stairs Of tn
Times office by any superserviceabl
official before we have had an oppoi
tumty to say what we are willing to d
il for.

yarn we place no trust in it. There
are no exciting issues just now to
craze the brains Of your natural born
fanatics. The questions which en-
gross Congress and the people are OF
purely economical nature. No
doubt the President receives many
threatening letters from disappointed
Office seekers, but SO did all Of his
predecess ors. General jackson dur
ing his two terms must have thrown
a bushel of them in the waste-basket
and several actual attempts were
made TO assassinate him. OF course
the situation has since been made
erayer by the outright murder Of two
American Presidents, but such events
are Of exceedingly rare occurrence in
countries which possess Republican
form Of government, and even in
monarchies they are quite infrequent.
There Is scarcely much occasion Tor
national scare at present.
