WHAT 1T ALL MEANS.

The Milwaukee authorities have
played sharp game with the work
men there. Taking advantage of
the prejudice against foreigners, they
had some of them indicted as anar-
chists, and many of the thoughtless
workmen applauded. 1t was easy
enough to get verdicts or ''fndings''
under the circumstances. Now.
having established precedent, the
capitalist authorities 60 a step furth-
er, and it is reported that the zen
tire Executive Board of the Knights
of Labor" has been indicted for con
spiracy. 1t is well for workmen
to be slow in condemning others for
taking advantage Of the free
speech guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition.

CAREFULLY SELECTED.

Last Tuesday Il jury was selected
to act in the eases of the East St
Louis strikers who fell victims to
Capital, three days being occupied
in the selection. One hundred and
five jurors were peremptorily chal-
lenged by the defence, Gfty-seyen by
the State and over hundred and fifty
for cause, About five hundred
special jurors We're summoned, and
the expense of the jury alone will
reach nearly 81, 900.

AGAINST ARBITRATION.

The Executive Board of the Lynn
Knights of Labor last Tuesday with
drew their representatives from the
Joint Board of Arbitration. and for
the present at least will decline to
abide by the rules of arbitration
adopted by them and the shoe man
uiacturers eight months ago, The
work kmen consider that the system has
worked against them.

SCAB BOSS IN SlNGSING.

Buddensiek the notorious employ

safe tenement houses, who was
found guilty has finally been sent to
Slngsing to serve out sentence of
ten years at hard labor. It's seldom

doubt be Il warning to his kind.

A LITTLE JUSTICE.

Greene 4 RatcIiiT keep an employ
ment agency in Fulton street, New
York. They charge 81 and promise
to get "A place for the applicant with
in ten days. About Il week ago
George A. Downing, colored man,
paid a dollar to Greene and obtained
a position with wealthy man at
Tarrytown, but he was compelled TO
sleep in the stable and he gave up
his job. He then returned and de-
manded his dollar and says RatclifT
brutally kicked him out. He had
Ratcliff arrested. The prisoner de-
mel the kicking, but Justice Walsh
said he believed Downing and i'm
posed fine Of 800 on Ratcliff. As
he did not have the money he will
spend 100 days in Jail.

sion of an eylted bllly-goat's phlz,
and he darted from the room
mumbling something about keeping
an appointment.
Good riddance !" exclaimed The
overseer. Now let's finish up. We
must get our fellows to join the X.
of l.. and the unions. and work up
on the ambitions of those who are
on the hunt for soft snap in the
city hall, As am well qualified to
know, every paper in town will 90
in ON this racket more or less.
These fellows will place some hopes
in the city and town elections,
and can be relied on to do some
thing for promises from the candi-
dates. OF course, the ADVOCATE
will expose them if it continues IN
the same hostile attitude towards
us, and they will find it necessary to
either kill or get possession of it.
See?
"But what am to do in the mat
ter" queried lellowpick.
"Iou'll get job on the affair
suitable to your abilities,' said the
overseer. "You can 90 around in
the saloons and listen to what our
heelers are saying. See that they
use the Doodle in treating the most
prominent ones of the saloon ele-
ment. and not waste it on the ordin-
airy gang or put it in their own
pockets. Then you can listen at
the keyholes, and sneak around the
meeting rooms and pick up what
you can. If you can't get on to any
thing that way, fix up something.
But be sure and keep up the preju-
dice against socialists. And you,
Squealer and Rodent, keep an eye on
the walking delegate-follow him
he's up. to mischief and tell Rat to
write II p some original editorials Oh
the subject Of boycotting. Cad
he's getting to be as great an editor
as Whitelaw Reid looks like him,
too, Dude your business is To
blame all the strikes and boycotts to
the socialistic agltators. And il
some one chances to be murdered,
cast suspicion on some socialist OF
Knight of Labor-make it promi.
nent. I'll use my influence with
the other papers, guess they'll all
agree. So with that vile sheet, the
WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE silenced, the
socialists under the ban, and the
Knights of Labor split into factions
by the aid of our ambitious little
politicians, we'll break up the labor
movement here, and it won't cost us
a cent, either"
"Ies, but what are We going tc
make out of it ?" asked Yellowpick
"Iou can manage to freeze on tC
the servant girls savings when theil
backs are turned-sort of 4 perquis-
ite, you know. But when we've got
the job done, we'll be sure of stake
from the bosses.
Just then the errand boy who
had quietly returned after being
kicked, darted down stairs and gave
away the scheme to his chum, the
bootblack, and it continued to cir
culate.

turning to the errand boy, whose

The servile crew skunk back to

"Giye that to e." yelled the over

from Yellowpick's hand and put it

he stepped to the telephone and

The highest figure, $lO.23, was
reached in March, 1865 the lowest,
1920, from May, 1855, to the end of
the year.
The average price for the whole 81
years was 81 % or about 50 more than
the present rate.
This average would doubtless be
materially reduced by including the l3
years prior to lS55, but of which no
reliable market record appear, to be
eXtant. Place it at So, however, or 9S
cents below the ruling price in 1855,
and we will obtain a mean market rate
of 1886 per ton for the II years of the
regions development, or $l.G4 above
the current price.

Sheriff Hing and Mlrshal Zautner had
all exciting time in aresting tramps near

The batch was composed of seven MEM
bers OF the tramp fraternity, some oil
them being rather moredesperate and evil
inclined than the average tramp. They
were taken from their refuge in freight
cars, several of them strongly resisting
the officers. All were finally locked up
in the city cooler and the services OF
court commissioner Fed procured TO ex-
anime them. Four of the gang were held
for trial before the circuit court for being
tramps and two for resisting the officers.
One for using profane language was sent
to Jail for Is DAYS.

MANUFACTURERS.

Letters mailed at the Ixonia post Office
z miles from this city and in direct daily
mail communication with Watertown,
fail to reach here within three days from
the time of mailing. We with the rest
of the public have reason to find fault
with such failure to deliver mail, pre-
venting as it does our correspondence
from reaching us in time for publication
and thus seriously interfering with our
business arrangements. The United
States mails are supposed to be run for
the accommodation of the public and to
facilitate business, but such results are
far from being attained under the mail
system now in vogue in this vicinity.
The mail arrangements had better be re-
organized in these parts, and the powers
that be are kindly invoked to intercede
in the interest of an outraged public.

INClpENT FIRE.

by an alarm of fire at about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, caused by flames and
smoke issuing forth from the rear part oil
G. III. Bolts butlling, next to KusePs
hardware store, and occupied by Gates
saloon. The fire started on the first floor
and ran up the end Of the building to the
roof, but the Phoenix company with their
Silsby machine were on hand and soon
had the fire smother.d. The entire loss
will amount to about one hundred dol
lars, which is considered very fortunate
escape considering the location of the
fire. The origin of tie fire is unknown.
