DRUM MAJOR EARLE, AND
 THE BOYCOTT.

THE ROYCOT'T.
 Major Earle; we presume he was a | Major during the late war, probably a drum major, comes to the front this morning in the Mongolian and states that the anarchist and boycCtter are twin brothers in disorder" No doubt the gallant Major thinks that the Tombstone Anti-Chinese League is an element of disorder, for has it not cost the firm of which he is mem .ber, many sheckels, since the boycott was put upon it. But to return to the militiaman's original proposition, the boycotter and anarchist are syn 5onomus terms" An anarchist as THE DAILY TOMBSTONE understands it, is one who defes the law, and proposes to accomplish his ends without re. gard to who suffers, so long as he sue ceeds. He is willing to act as an in- .cendiary, train wrecker, property de- stroyer or assassin as the case may be The boycotter upon the otfn proposes to accomplisaW
 in the pale of the law. nc
 no one by knife, pistol or bomb. He fires no factory or machine shop. He does not ask the capitalist to divide his earnings with him. He simply says that there is an undesirable ele- ment in the community, a portion of an Asiatic immigration which is draining the resources of the country, and taking the bread from the mouth of his wife and children. He asks the capitalists to join hands with him and by refusing to em- .ploy it, or purchase its products, drive 1t out of the country. If the capita list refuses, the boycotter says, "yery well, if you have no regard for my welfare, you can not expect me to care for yours. am law abiding citizen, I shall not attempt to destroy your property nor injure your person, but can refuse to patronize you and the law gives me the right to induce my fellow laborers to adopt the same course" That is the boycott pure and simple. Does the drum major see the difference between the boycott and the burn out between the law abiding laboring man, and the law violating property wrecker? In this connec- tion THE TOMBSTONE would like to ask the man who insulted the labor ing men of this camp, in the morning MOngolian, (for be it remembered that five sixths of them belong to the Anti-Chinese League) by calling them anarchists, socialists, etc, if he has heard of the Anti Chinese convention recently held in Sacramento California. It was composed, as no one can deny of the representative men of that State. Among its members was ex-U. s. Sen ator Sargent, ex Congressman Berry, Hon. J. F Swift, Judge Leon D. Freer, Judge Taylor, and in fact the brain and wealth of the State. That Con Tention, over six hundred strong, after canvassing the matter in all its phases resolved that the only way to rid the Golden State of the pestilential chinese curse, was to employ the boycott against those who refuse to discharge their Coolie help. Ofthe six hundred and odd members of that Convention there were but three dissenting voices. The same men, who in Convention assembled, declared the Boycott, are carrying it out. We presume that even Drum Major Earle, will hardly question the fact that they are his peers mentally, morally and socially. |
