The great strike of the knights
of Labor against the Gould system
in the south west still drags on its
weary length, but daily gets weaker
and weaker. AT St. Louis large
numbers of men have availed them
selves of the military protection to
20 to work, and now trains are
dispatched regularly without inter
ference. Information comes from Sc
dalia, Mo-, that the strike is dying
out there, and that new men are
going to work daily.
The latest phase is a threatened
attempt, on the part of the Central
Labor Union, to boycott Gonld HIM
self, but he only laughs at it. The
strike was not warranted, ought
never to have been commenced, and,
most fatal mistake of all, when
once started, was badly managed.
1t seelns very clear that at pres
ent Gould can get along pretty COM
fortably without the Knights of La
Dor at all, and this is the bitter
pill that Messrs. Powderly & Com.
pany, who started oat with the in
tention of bringing; the Gould sys
tenn to their terms in day or two
have to swallow. 1t will be to thei
advantage to close the strike out a
once, and not continue fighting
losing battle.
And next time, before commenc
ing movement that may possibl
end in murder and arson, let then
have reasons sufficiently powerful
enough at least to carry public opin
ion with, instead of against, them.

A REALISTIC BIT OF STAGE WORK.

Gleason's Horse Tanning Tactics Exemplified
In "The Tanning of the shrew."
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, May LA horse tanner Is making
a stir in town. He is new Rarey, and he sub
dues refractory beasts by means OF disabling
straps, wrenching bits and other devices calcu-
lated to astound and dismay them In ono of
the larger variety gardens the East Side the
interest in this horse tanning is turned to funny
account. ''The Tanning OF the Shrew" is there
ten minutes of rather rude travesty by two ath-
letic as we'll as farclcal performers. One is a
song ambulance man of the kind denominated
knock-about He sings verse declaring him
SELF to be wondrous queller Of vicious women.
Then an actress, somewhat noted formerly as
circus trapeze expert and conortonist, Is brought
out. She is not costumed in show style, but wears
an ordinary street dress and hat, as though
robed for walk. In brief dialogue she enacts
a termagant wife, defying her husband, who
thereupon produces such appliances as are used
by the horse-tamer. A really difficult and artis-
tic series of feats in tumbling and contortion en-
sue. They are all prearranged, of course, and
the result of careful rehearsal but their manner
is odd and strange that the spectators at times
hoot and hiss the man. The girl is strapped in
double thrust through barrel, and seemingly
maltreated awfully; her dress is torn nearly to
shreds, and at length. after much of what looks
like reckless. brutal violence, she admits her
self conquered. So realistic is it all that the
police captain of the precinct investigated before
he would be convinced that he ought not to in
terfere in protection of the female partner.

producing them The leaders of the political
organizations have definitely decided that the
boycott must go. The Republicans and the two
branches of the Democrats are represented in
the police board, which has entered upon
thorough determination of boycotters so far as
street demonstrations are concerned. Police
men are ordered to arrest all carriers of boy
colt placards and distributors of handbills.
There are twelve justices. from all the parties,
and they fine promptly and invariably all boy
colt prisoners. The district attorney is Demo
crat and his zeal in indicting nearly one hundred
boycotters is only equalled by the severity of
Judge Smyth, Republican, who put them under
bonds for trial. No daily newspaper sustains
the boycott, not even the News, which has cir
culation of over hundred thousand among the
industrial classes So sweeping is public opin-
ion on the subject that number of men who
consented to pay the expenses Of being boy
cotted-notably the Thalia Theater and Thisess'
Garden, each assessed about 81. 900 for the cost
of the boycotts by the musicians-are institut-
ing lawsuits to recover the money. The Knights
of Labor have resolved, in general committee,
to countenance no boycotts not formally insti-
tuted by them, and the understanding is that
none at all will be ordered for the present. But
the Central Labor Union. much more radical
organization. is not inclined to relax. though
resolution will be offered at tomorrow's regular
Sunday conference to suspend all boycotts until
test case shall be tried in order to settle the
question of criminal liability.

NEW YORK NOTES.
Religious Tracts Prostituted to the Uses q
Patent-Medicine Advertisers.

Religious Tracts Prostituted to the Uses of
Patent-Medicine Advertisers.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
NEW YORK. May Ia movement by the
Methodists to revive tracts has exposed curl
ous abuse of that old fashioned means of grace.
The New York Conference appointed the Rev. j.
n. Goodsell tract agent with view to system
atizing and greatly extending city missionary
work with the once familiar leaflets. 1t is found
that several medical advertisers have completely
prostituted the tract to tiseir uses, and it is
deemed doubtful if the mischief can be repaired.
Millions of tracts have, within year. been dis
tributed in all the terement-house sections along
the wharves and throughout the ten thousand
bar-rooms, printed in exactly the style of the
religious article and bearing titles like ''Be
Saved, Your Last Opportunity" and "Salva-
tion for All" but after page or so of orthodox
argument the matter ran off into a fervd expo.
sition Of some medicines. In one case profess
edy temperance argument merged into adula-
tion of particular brand of whisky. To meet
the singular difficulty, it is probable that the
form of the religious tract will be radically
changed.

The Inventor Of Female Minstrels.
,acia1 to the Indiauapolia journal

NEW YORK, May 1.--Mike Leavitt is dying at Lake
wood, N. j., of paresis, the brain ailment
which killed John Mccullough. Leavitt is the show
man who invented female minstrels. The earliest
semicircles of gaudy young women known to the
the stage were organized by him. His troops trav-
ersed this country without rivalry for several
sons, and yielded him fortune. Then he took a
party to England and exceedingly prosperous
there. He accumulated a sum understood to amount
to 100000 before his speciality became common
and mparatively unremunerative. Besides. the
authorities in many cities would not permit him to
display his loud posters. He of the showiest
of all the typical showmen who periodically prom
enaded Broadway his clothes being marves of shapes
and colors while his diamonds were efulgent.

Whatever actions may represent this man Jeff Davis.
who talks about liberty, represents only human
slavery the degradation Of labor the treason of Sc
cession and rebellion, the horrors and infamies of
Libby and Andersonville-all, in short that is most
malicious vicious and damnable in American history
To talk of him as illusrious statesman who is to
be honored with Washington in history is to insult
every sentiment of loyalty and decency in this great
country which he wickedly did so much to destroy"
