of universal cooperation.
Not u word in execration was
printed in the capitalist press last
Friday concerning the police inter
ference with the meeting Of ID. A. -
st Cooper Institute. New York, the
night before. Had it not been for
the remarkable self-possession of the
men, the policemen would have re-
ceived their just dues, though po-
lice Captain Mccullough deserved
thrashing more than they.
Now there is a great howl about
an alleged ''insult to the American
flag" among the capitalist sheets. 1t
seems that there was procession
through one of the streets of
Western town on the "Fourth,"
when the small boy was shooting off
his pistol. A flag carried in the
| procession was pierced by the beans
fired, and hence the howl that "an
anarchist" insulted the dear old flag
50 emblematic of the rights of the
American workman rs against the
Chinese and the Hungarian. Poor
flag. Patriotic capltalstc hircling
sheets,
Speaking about insulting the
American flag, we notice that our
very virtuous and friendly contem-
porary the J0MHM and (ourier has
an "ehigy" of the flag printed in
black on its title page, just over the
original and startling editorials so
full of truth and gentleness. ~ be
sure, some of these so-called "Edito-
rial Notes" look very much like sto-
len "Sun-beams" pilfercd from u
New York luminary by IL literary
thief. We have file of the Carrier,
and corresponding Suns, that would
make a good exhibit" in a libel
suit. Does any literary thief want
to institute one?

THE MILK IN THE COCOAN TT.

THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT.
In the trial of Hans IIoldorf. in
the Thesis case in View York, grow
ing out Of the boycott of the Thesis
saloon, the defendant was found
guilty. Judge Bartlett, in the charge
to the jury, used the following Ian
guage:
"a certain thing may be lawful
when done by an individual, but
when done by combination of in
dividuals, then it may become I'M
lawful. No man can stand up
against a combination, and when he
finds his fellow men 50 arrayed
against him. he is bound to fall.
An upright Judge. A worthy
Judge. He has sounded the key
note to the whole labor subject, did
he but know it. No man can stand
up against Il combination, Of course
not. That is why we boycott. But
the boycotted individual always has
an opportunity to make his peace.
The door for his return is always
open. Organized labor does not
seek revenge; it only desires to en-
force justice, What may be right
in an individual may be wrong in %
combination. Precisely so. And
therefore are we at war with COM
binatlons of capital monopolics,
syndlcates, corporations, corners -
established to crush out individual
effort and rob the people and uproot
the right to II share in Heaven s
blessings. The individual cannot
stand up against these combinations.
He must go down. There is no
door whereby he may escape. He
cannot make his peace. He can
only give, give. If the methods Of
these combinations are not lawful,
they can quickly be made so by the
power of wealth, or the law may be
deprived of its force and effect.
You are right, most worthy Judge.
No man can stand up against the
efforts of Il combination. They are
falling around you every day. ex-
hausted. starving, dying. while the
judicial ermine is trailed in the dust.
The coal combinations are starving
the miners, the railroad corporations
are shooting the strikers, the pro-
vision syndieates are roBbing the
poor, and the power of wealth is
everywhere used to crush the peo-
pie. The only salvation we have is
in counter combination. And when
We do this We are in danger of the
Judgment.
But this axiom has been estab-

ANOTHER WAY,

The secret boycott against Ehret's

Here is one:

that five men We're suddenly stricken
down last week by n indignant disease,

Therefore, the board of health of the
union hereby warns all members of the
union to refrain from drinking any lager
beer made in that brewery. and the

4 MILD REPROOF.

The breaking up of meeting of
Knights of Labor in New York on
Thursday night last by the police
was an outrage. The meeting was
called for the purpose of informing
&. NJ. W. Powderly what the gricv-
anccs Of the street car men We're, but
the persons in charge Of police said
they should not hold secret meet
ing, but the Knights We're not to be
outdone and engaged another hall
whore they held Il meeting. In
Europe labor organizations are per-
mitted to hold meetings unmolestcd,
but in this country where the peo-
pie should rule through the ballot,
they sometimes have to submit to
such outrages as that spoken OF
above. The meeting was attended
by gentlemen who knew how to con
duct themselves and acted us gentle.

cssary TO "boost" one into office, and
yet this is the very thing that is pa
raded before us in politics, and in
almost every little circle or society
with which the people are afflicted
from the Bacchanalan college society
to the church vostry, and from the
trade union to the college corpora
tion--all for the qualification Of IN
ambition for the h0nOrs that are
supposed to attach to position.
TO drSerrc recognition; to earH
ones brcad--thcsc are honorable
whether the reward comes in the
shape of good conscience or other
returns. But to take a reward or
position without desert, or by vlrtu
ally dshonorabIc means, brings no
real honor with it; but the recipient
suffers morally and is dcbauchcd to
the extent Of his-crime.
Let lis apply the lesson, then:
Have we not seen men cXcrtng
themselves in caucuscs and ut the
voting places simply to be elected to
Office? And have we not heard of
men being brIbcd for their votes
Does honor come with success under
these circumstances? No. Have
you not seen, in your Union, men
Of petty ambition wire-pulling and
electIonocring with all the assurance
Of ward politicians? Have you not
had voting tickets placed in your
hands with the names of the ambi-
tlons candidates upon them, already
written, us if you could not write
and choose for Yourself? And have
YOU not seen those tickets cast by
careless companions who would not
even take the trouble to see what
was written upon them? in the
event Of success under such circum-
stances where is the honor?
Then help stamp out II false sys-
TEN that leads men to do dishonora-
bile deeds to satisfy their shallow
PRIDE. Keep your eyes open for such
fellows, and use your votes to elect
men who will not debase themselves;
and, more than all, seek out way
that will empower you to vote for
measures, while you appoint honest
men to carry out your will. BY Wig,
lance and the Encouragement of the
false ambitions of small-souled men,
honor will become rchabilitated, and
even office may be made respectable

rather than even protest above u

law-abidlng, prcferrlng to expert
ment with the ballot under circum-
stances that make the franchise Il
mere farce, rather than to use that
force to which morality and honor
entities them, and which is enjoined
upon free Americans by the Declar-
alton Of Independence.

the rule Of the wealthy--they would
no doubt have laid u better founda-

crimes against the people, and must
be followed by Nemesis.

OFFICE AND HONORS.

These seem, by some apparently
irresistible logic of fact to 60 to-
gether- office and honors. We say
logic of fact, for it would be difficult,
perhaps, to imagine any other IRE
slstible reasoning in explanation Of
the conjunction.
The office is made IN the interest
or for the vanity of the ncumbcnts
an honor. The public hires IN cx-
ecutive officer, and by the mere fact
that he is selected to do public work
provided his pcrquisites are com
mensunte) he is translated into IN
honorable" That he has distin-
guishod himself by some noble deed,
or an exceptionally useful and self
sacrificing life, does not constitute
in these days, and for aught we
know to the contrary seldom has
constituted % sine qua NON for the
modern reveIler in "honors. Far
from it.
One can imagine citizen of rare
public spirit who has, to his dctrl-
ment in point of wealth and what
are known MS public honors, served
humanity as n teacher or guide, or
even rs watchdog, being highly
honored after he is dead. We have
seen such cases. One can imagine
an honored citizen who has gained
the respect Of his neighbors and
friends by the mere fact that he
''neyer was in jail" and "ncvcr kill
ed anybody" There are many such
cases, but they don't always result
in the election of the honorcd Cjti-
zen to public office; on the contrary,
a blameless life is not, in these scram.
bling times, recommendation for
public service.
Yet. strange enough, the idea
seems to have taken possession of
some very inferior people that the
mere occupation of II public Office is
an honor worthy of an ambition
which III It's turn is, to their petty
minds, worthy of any sacrifice OF
honesty to crafty.
1t is possible that the incumbency
of an office may he Il result of IN at
mirauon ones fellows have for the
incumbent, but we are persuaded
that this is not always the case. Toe
often it is the result of what is
known us wirc-puIIing and corrup-
ton.

BRAYING.
tSf

BRAYlNG.
According to the report in one of
the morning papers, the pastor of
one of our churches brayed to his
audience last Sunday evening while
under the influence of the "glorious
fourth. We extract u few gems:
"Our king comes from the ranks of the
people, and our arstocracy is one of
brains and not of blood. We take man
from the people and put him on throne.
When he has served his day and genera
ton he retires to private life. No other
country presents such "A grand specta-
Gle"
Grand, isn't it? Some of our teo-
Pile have been much condemned for
saying we have in this country q
king without II crown, but the rev.
erend brayer goes further and says
we have IA throne.' This is almost
rs bad as the utterances of an anar-
chist. But let us quote further:
Gone of the most beautiful sights the
world has ever seen occurred at the
White House only a short time ago.
The chief magistrate taking unto him
self-what he might with profit have
taken twenty years befOre-a wife. Not
a cannon was fired. 1t was as quiet and
simple as if it took place in one of your
own houses, 1t was wonderful on ac-
count of its simplicity"
Wonderful, wasn't it? Probably
this brayer, had he been in the
place of the king, would have gone
pranclng about the country dis
charging his pyrotechnics in every
direction; but the chief magistrate
was more modest, he did not even
fire off one cannon on the occasion.
This is, indeed, an age of won
ders.
"There are other dangers of a grave
character threatening the public. First,
Romanlsm; second Mormonism: third,
Socialism,; and fourth, Manmonism.
But there are graver dangers still. Be
ware of the politicians. There are Jii-
dases in congress who will not hesitate
to legs!atc in the interest Of Romanisnl
| or Mormonlsm.'
Now We have got the dangers OF
the republic so grouped that we can
handle them. We hope none will
be unduly alarmed or excited. Ro-
manlsm has not made any serious
trouble in this country as yet, but
let the reverend braycr keep his eye
upon Romanism. Mormonism will
die out under the influence of nat.
ural law, and Socialism will destroy
Mammonlsm. The Knights of IM-
Dor have their eyes upon the politi.
clans and in due time will see them
retired to obscurity and their places
filled by men who have the interests
of the people at heart. Perhaps the
good Christian people will unite with
them in this movement. We have
not yet shown the way to get rid Of
Socialism; the reverend brayer has
the remedy:
"Give us another such revival rs VIZ
/ had in 1851, and it would kill Socialism
50 dead that you would not hear of il
for the next twenty five years.
The Socialists are all undauntcC
by any revival of pure religion Il,

The Gopher Nuisance.

Few persons who have not ridden around
tho country have any idea Of the amount of
damage that is being done to crops by the
gOphers. 1t is no uncommon thing to see
fields of grain in which two or three acres
have been destroyed, and in one case we learn
that the farmers loss is estimated at fifteen
to sixteen acres from these pests. 1t seems
useless to rely on the individual efforts Of farm-
ers, as the gophers seem to be as numerous
this year as they were last year or the year be-
fore, notwithstanding the immense number
that has been killed. With the settlement of
the country the foxes and badgers, natural
enemies Of the gopher, have gradually disap-
peared, leaving nothing to stop the increase of
the gophers except the efforts made by each
farmer. There are so many isolated fields of
grain, and so much vacant land, that these ef-
forts Of individuals do not count for much in
the aggregate. There must be some united
and persistent action In order to get rid Of the
gopLers, and we know Of no way in which
this can be brought about except through the
legislature Of the territory passing law max
ing it the duty Of the county commissioners Of
each county in the territory to offer bounty
each spring for every gopher killed. Certain
counties have already done this, but that is not
sufficient, the movement should DO general,
Simultaneous, and persistent. Let the legisla-
ture authorize each county to levy special tax
on real estate to cover the expense incurred.
If in any county there are no gophers the
people will not have the tax to pay, and in
those where they exist enough will be saved
to pay the tax many times. Such plan, we
believe, would accomplish the desired result in
a few years.
