During the course of his examina-
tion he said that the labor or.aniza-
tion Was perfectly peaceful. Some.
times it's own members misundsr-
stood the organization. 1t was
sometimes impossible to control q
man by any law when he had been
wronged. One point Mr.. Powderly
said he wanted perfectly understood. =.
1t was that if any of the Knights
had violated the law, the organiza-
ton would help to punish them.
The law of the land was supreme
above the laws of organization. He
became impassioned on this subject
and declared that all violators,
whether Knights of Labor or Capt.
talists, should be punished. "The
millionaire violator should suffer the
same rs the poor man. And peo.
pie have seen fit to see in it invita-
tion to anarchy. If that is anarchy,
in the name of God. what is law ?"
1t is an open question whether
the Senate or the House has been
more commercially employed this
week. The latter has not done
much at anything, and the Senate
has done little but vote away the
peoples money. On one day it
passed between four or five hundred
pension bills. This is the largest
number of bills ever passed in one
day by either house of Congress
since the establishment of the Gov.
ernment. The first thing the Sen
ate did this week was to vote $780,
600 for the erection of fre-proof
hall of records in this city. and Sem
ator Hoar provoked q Senatorial
laugh by asking If the proposed
building p" was for the keeping of
the Presidents private papers ?"

A BILL was introduced in the
Kansas Legislature last winter to
make drunkenness o crime. The
policy Of considering 1.-the poor
drunkard' as q hero who is led
away by the wicked saloon keeper,
has been much I'm vogue OF tate
years, but is one of doubtful wisdom.
No man need drink unless he wishes
TO. To be sure, habit is oftentimes
stronger than the will. Yet, before
q man begins he is sober and in
possession of all his faculties. He
ought, therefore, to suffer the full
penalty of his actions. Sympathy
is wasted upon him. The more he
has Of it the bigger fool be becomes.
1t is, therefore. proper to punish
him. and thus strengthen his will by
knowledge that he willincur punish.

ago, that Lake Michigan is rising at
the rate of four inches year and
that Chicago will, in the not indis-
tinguishable future, be under water.
An Eastern writer full of jealousy,
commenting upon this state of things
says:
"When tho gondola takes the
place Of the cable car and the waves
dash against the front doors of the
Palmer House and the Grand Pacific,
then Chicago will become truly pic
turesque and tourists will come from
the furtherest isles of the East, from
Ormus and from Ind, to gaze upon
her deserted railway stations and to
shed the tear of pity and regret over
her mortgage covered ruins. Her
bridge of Sighs over which now daily
thousands of complaining porkers
are hurried to their doom will then
be lonely and silent. No longer will
the curious stranger be invited to
witness the amazing celebrity with
which a registering and exuberant
quadruped is converted into short
ribs and sausage whilo the air is still
vocal with the protestations that
have been pouring from his aston
ished snout. In that day the visitor
to the lake-swept city will wander in
bewilderment through abandoned
palaces where now the emptied glass
rings harmoniously on the polished
bar, and gaze with admiration at the
gorgeous halls which in these days
re-echo to murmur of Copper the
ace for a hundred, Call the turn
for twenty and like mysterious
sounds. Then the poker deck will
be banished, the roulette wheel
broken and the faro dealer, smooth
and sleek, will be cutting the cards
where rolls the Oregon and sweep
the broad expanses of Puget Sound.
"Such fate will make Chicago
more famous in history and song
than the massacre of countless hordes
of unoffending swine or the destruc.
ton of innumerable droves OF Texan
steers. What q blessed and hsnen-
cent change it would be from the
turmoil and uproar of the grain pit
of to-day to the brooding calm of
the city of the future! Every true
Chicagoan, jealous of the growth of
his own town, should sigh for such

but the people Of Chicago will find
consolation for the havoc wrought
in the distileries of Illinois by the
saturation of their city with unquali.

They will exult without measure in

that will encompass the name of Chi

Americans outside of Illinois will
still find comfort in the thought that
after all Chicago has only joined that

the Cities of the Plain they will
never be forgotten. So may it be

The Word Boycott.
Inter-Ocean.

The late labor troubles have as yet,
30 far as known, created no new word
or odd phrase, but one word of COM
paratively recent manufacture has
passed current everywhere. 1t has
become az we'll known and as much
used here as in Ireland, its native
land. The word is Boycott. A num-
Der of inquiries have been received
during the past few days. asking the
Inter- Ocean to explain its meaning.
The story of it's creation is, briefly
as follows:
Some six years ago man named
Capt. Boycott was the factor or agent
of landowner in Ireland. By his
course and policy Boycott. came to
be very offensive to the tenantry,
and 80 greatly was be disliksd that
the tenants petitioned the proprietor
to remove him. This, however, that
person would not do. The conse-
quence was the tenants and their
friends refused to work for Boycott
or under his instructions. The situ-
alton did not at first seem serious,
but when the crops were to be har-
vested people would not even touch
them, and this feeling spread among
all their acquaintsnces, 30 that no
one could be found who would assist
or work in the harvest that year.
The crops were in great danger. when
some men from Ulster, under the
protection of troops, did the work
for Boycott. But it did not end
there. The tenants had formed q
strong fraternity among themselves,
and before tho contest had pro.
grsssed q great way further, their
powerful league was shown. An idea
may be gained of the thoroughness
and extent Of their organization by
those instances. It was agreed that
If any one had any dealings with Boy.
eott- t-osAhosa- xho- -rapraaented him,
then no one was to have any deal
ing with that person, or if any man
worked for Boycott, his old friends
and neighbors refused to recognize,
speak to. or have anything to do
with him; no one would buy of him
or sell to him, and he was looked
upon and treated as a total stranger.
To Boycott" any one, therefore.
came to mean . great deal, and The
word became popular among the
Irish, and then generally so. and
now it is part of our language.

The Vexed Question.

Many ardent temperance advocates
insist on a misconception of the re-
lations of the evils of the drink habit
to the methods for restraining and
abolishiDg it. Temperance people,
and to large extent, liquor dealers,
are almost unanimous in their judg-
ment that the use of intoxicants is
baneful and when carried to excess
is in every respect ruinous. A cor
rect statement of the controversy as
it stands to-day seems to US to be
this: Most people agree that the
drink habit and the liquor traffic are
crying evils which society is interest
ed in abolishing. Out of this majority
who believe that a reform is desir-
able, there are few who are unani-
nous as to the right method of deal
ing with the evil. 1t is therefore un-
wise for an advocate of a special
method to say to his neighbor:
There are only two sides to this
temperance question, and you must
take one side or the other; you can
not be neutral" Now this is not true.
There are bibulous people who con-
demn the habit and the traffic.
There are total abstainers who hold
that moderate drinking may be beneti-
cial, as it is sanctioned in the bible.
There are those whose faith in Christ
is weakened because he turned water
into wine, and whose regard for
Paul is diminished because he advised
Timothy to use wine for his infrm-
tiles. There are those who hold
that the pure juice of the grape is a
nutritious beverage which was in
tended by the Creator for the use of
man. There are those who regard
fermentation as an essential quality
in all beverages. There are christian
prohibitionists and there are eminent
ministers and educators who vigor-
ously condemn prohibition. There
are ardent prohibitionists who disap-
prove of local option, and there are
local optionists who contend that
theirs is the only true principle in
the settlement of the problem.
There are those who think that pro-
hibition can be attained only by
standing by the Republican party
and permeating it with radical tenn.
persnce principles, and there is an
increasing number who maintain
that neither of the present political
parties can be trusted to accomplish
prohibition and that consequently o
third or national prohibition party
is necessary. There are prohibition
lists who concede that the license
system is step in advance in the
temperance reform, and there are
those who characterizs it as ga
league with the Devil" There is q
party of extremists who use law as
the only instrument of dealing with
the liquor traffic, and other extrem-
lists who will permit of nothing but
moral suasion with the drinker. We
simply conclude then, that there is
wide diversity of views and ssnti-
ment on the subject, most of which
we take to bs sincere, and entitled
to respect; and there is question
of whether it is not better to labor
for some degree Of unity of thought
and action before classifying all peo-
pie as friends or enemies Of q special
measure, than to precipitate action
under such unfavorable conditions.
