BOYCOTTING DEBATED.

y crowded house and an mtclli-
gent audience characterized the
meeting of the Equal Rights Drba-
sing Club last Sunday. "rhc Boy
colt was the subject, and very natur-
ally under the circumstances. the
rat NeWS the object, of the debate.
II"re were but one or two outspokrn
enemies Of organized labor at the
meeting, though a few shamcfaccd
and silent rats were to be- seen
among the more intelligent and hon
orabIc ma ajority, We have not the
space to recount the able remarks Of
the defenders Of IMbors' potent
weapon, nor can We devote many
thoughts to the enemy; but it gave
the goodly number of workingmcn--
organized and uno,ganizcd pleasure
to see how the defenders Of proud
capitalism were laid low in argu,
mrnt as well as rr fact. The most
eloquent speech that has ever been
delivered at the "Eq qual Rights" was
that Of Mr., Y. ". Curtis, who de
Tended boycotting and the righteous

a .Nr"S reporter ATTEMPTED to monop-
oIlze the time IN asking questions,
and the club very CONSIDERABLY voted
him the privilege Of the floor. The
youth evidently believing it his duty
to stand up for the boss "that feeds
him, told how willing his boss was
to pay the union price, and how very
unjust it was to boycott the NewS,
and to demand the discharge of the
imported cheap labor to give place to
union men. "Thcrc it is in u nut

and after some Intellectual opposition
by two "individualists' the union
man was given the privilege, which
he used to explain the cause of the
boycott Of the NcWS, and to answer
a few pertinent questions put by mem
bcrs Of the club. There was little
donbt..aS to the opinion Of the audi
cncc upon the subject, for the senti-
mentS of unonlsm were applauded
to the echo, and the citizens who at

WlREDRAWERS' SOlREE.

IA very pleasant evenings entertain
mrnt at their soirce on the 18th
ult. Mr.. Thomas J. Fogarty led
the march with Miss Katie Eagan as
his partner, There were about eighty
couples in attendance, and they en-
joyed the dance and music till the
early morn. Thomas furnished
music, and Jack Foley did the

\ little incident occurred at the
door during the evening which
should he mentioned, and which the
union printers will appreciate. The

he was not admitted on account Of

drawers are thorough union men

HYPOCRISY.

Every once in a while the papers teen
with accounts of Il great revival that has
taken place in some churCh-a sort of
spasmodic upheaval, The rcVivaist tells
ms hearers of the corruption that is
penetrating our whole social system.
How we ought to live truer, nobIrr and
grander lives How we onght to help
our fellow man along; to try and become
Christians III the literal sense of the
word, which is nothing more than hu-
nanltarian. We do not wonder that the
laborng man is slowly drifting into a sea
OF intidelity. When you hear preacher
say that every one ought to be- sal iSIied
with his station in life, to toll ON for
ever without even raising his voice in
opposition, surely no honest man can be

churches the world over and how many
of their preachers will preach of the rich
man as h" really is; How many of them
can be found working among the poor
trying to raise them to "A better station
in life: How many of them will tell the
employer, if he happens to be among
their congregations, that he is periurng

How many times do we hear words of
elOuurnce from the lips of some preacher
over the remains Of a man who never in

looked upon as an honest man; whose
whole life was one long -erlcs Of de

more systematizrd, and in Il few
weeks, unless the correct thing hap-
pens, it will be carried on in Us sciru-
ttica manner, as the case demands
giving protection and trade to the
friendly merchants, and allowing a
natural and corresponding shrinkagr

The cause is just the result must
rest upon this; Public opiuion is 'lr
jury; our fellow citizens, acting con-
scicntlously, will carry out the YER

weeks, on Il charge Of conspiracy

been acquitted. In the face of the
evidence submitted. We do not see
how the result could have been other

twenty-thrce hours to do Justice to
the defendant. The decision in this
case virtually settles. the remaining
indictments against Mr.. Barry. the
testimony proving concIusiyeIy that,
instead Of melting to riot and de-
structlon Of property, he prevented

The trial Of the fifteen arrested in
Seattle for participation in the anti
Chinese agitation Of last fall, came
to an end last Saturday, and the
prisoners were discharged. There.
was great rejoicing throughout the

The connection between the fore

The cheerful brother of a former
so-called democratic Lieutenant
Governor of this State, made one of
his periodic onslaughts on the trans
piring plane Of evolution, as made
manifest in the great labor movement.
The brethren Of Il former SO-callcd
democratic, etc, is addicted to the
epigramatic style; it takes with the

in speaking of the socialist, he says:
"Ile sees that his neighbor has Il
horse and he wants it.
This was given as a sort Of gcner-
aIization Of Socialism; no doubt it
tickled the boys, and that was, per
maps, the main thing after all.
1t has been generally accepted by
those who have penetrated to the
very essence Of socialism, that it is
a systematic endcayor to curtail the
power of "man's inhumanity to
man. which ''makes countless thou
sands MOURN" but it seems that is
all mistakc-it wants ncighbor's

will be noticed, is not quite in keep

calist doesn't want his neighbor's
horse, but rather that his neigbor
should do away with the horse and

As stated, there seems to be IA

is estimated at 81, 900, and Aid. Kerr and

the city engineer instructed to prepare

committee agreed that it was impracticable

Amendments.
The legislative committee of the chamber

afternoon to discuss needed amendments in
the present tax laws, with an idea of for
mulating them for presentation to the next
session of the legislature. There were
present of the committee: W. p. Murray,
chairman, H. f. Stevens E. G. Rogers and
C. E. Flandrau. also j. d. Ludden. Fl. S,
Fairchild, Thomas Cochran, +. r. Delano
and Capt. Edmund Bell After some
desultory conversation Mr.. Murray called
the meeting TO order and stated its object
calling on Mr.. Fairchild to lay his sugges-
riOns before those present. Mr.. Falrchild
said the law ought to be amended so that
receipt for taxes should be sufficient to the
county auditor to give a certificate OF re
demption. Then. instead of two years for
redemption people should have six years,
because the tax was, say per cent, al
though actually less. the valuation was so
per cent. so that the security to the tax
buyer is 100 times his investment. Even If
it runs FIVE years it is still twenty times the
amount If redeemed the county REIN

absolutely loses his property in two years.
At the end of six years he would like to
have the property put up at auction and
sold to the party who would take the
smallest portion of it for taxes instead of
having the tax buyer get an absolute deed.
He cited several instances where owing to
some error, some parties had forfeited
property to tax sharks. although having i'll

Will file in the United States circuit court
in New York a stupendous bill in equity.
One heir from Louisiana will appear as
plaintiff and the other 1,400 known heirs
will appear as respondents. The prayer of
this bill will be primarily for partition of
the property among the claimants, and in
cidentally for citation on each heir to
show on what ground he bases his claim.
This proceeding will occupy at least six
months and will greatly reduce the number
OF heirs. 1t is estimated that OF the 1,4OO
who go into the contest not over 500
will be able to trace their lineage
back to the proper source. After this has
been accomplished the next step Will be to
enter ejectment suits. The claimants do
not anticipate that any of these suits VIII
come to trial, as they expect to compromise
with the present holders of the property.
The valuation of the land is $50, 900, 600,
and they will be willing to settle upon
basis of 30 per cent. OF this amount, by
special agreement, the four lawyers, Judge
Knox and Mr.. Crosby, of New York: Judge
Bredin, of Butler, and j. IL. McCreery, OF
this city, will receive one-third. Among
the 1, 400 claimants are residents OF every
state in the Union, also of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick
