The English are apparently looking more

The Third Avenue railroad strikers de-
clare that the employment of non-union
men is not their only grievance, but that
there is question of wages involved also.
If that be the fact, the thing for them to do
is to withdraw their demand for the dis
charge of the seven non-union men and ask
for arbitration on the other matters. When
they do that public sympathy may be with
them, but as long as they insist on their first
demand they ought to receive no concession

The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette says
that the chief distinction of Mr.. Riley, who
has been appointed postmaster in that city is
that he was the figure head of the Highland
House convention, which was the "scene of
the most scandalous bribery and brutal ruff
fianism ever perpetrated. 1t was for lend
ing himself to that affair that he was recon-
mended by Senator Payne for appointment
to the postoffice. The same men that per-
suaded the President to liberate Mullen from
the penitentiary persuaded him to appoint
Riley postmaster. Yet the President is ex-
cused by his admirers on the ground that he
was deceived. How many times can the
President be deceived by the same set of men
and still be blameless?

The Memoirs of Mrs. Edward Livingston,
by her grand niece, Louise Livingston Hunt
(New York: Harper & Brothers; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony, gives a very in
teresting sketch of la brilliant and beautiful
woman who was one of the social leaders in
Washington society nearly sixty years ago.
Her early life was full of romance, and ''Mr.
Livingston's relations to public affairs" says
her biographer, drought her in contact with
the most remarkable persons of her day."
Mr.. Edward Livingston was one of the most
eminent lawyers in this country; an init
mate personal friend of General Jackson, his
Secretary of State, and later, American Min
lister to the Court of France. Mrs. Living
ston came of French family noted FORTS
culture and talent, and her brother, Major
Huguste Davezac, and her uncle, M. Jules
Davezac, both members of her family. are re-
membered as men Of remarkable learning
and of brilliant wit and fine social qualities.
Miss Hunts delightful volume contains
many interesting letters, hitherto unpub-
lished, which are valuable contribution to
"the history of a day just gone by" The
personal fascination of the men and women
whom the author delights to honor is skill
fully transferred to the pages of her book.

A INDUSTRIOUS OPPRESSION.
Boston Advertiser.

The pretext for several recent strikes has
been that the proprietors of the business en-
ployed men who did not belong to some or
ganization to which the strikers belonged.
Some of these strikes have been followed by
a boycott to compel the employer to discharge
union. The right of men to refrain from
joining any association is as clear as the
right of others to join it. The resort to the
boycott to compel employers to discharge
competent and satisfactory workmen be-
fon e G nb care 70 @ sof
entered for reasons satisfactory to them
selves, is as monstrous an act of oppression
as anything ever done by organized capital.

The joint rule of Congress which prohib-
its the sale of alcoholic liquors in the Capitol
or on the Capitol grounds is totally ignored
in the House restaurant, where drinks of
every sort are dispensed without the slightest
attempt at concealment. During the last
Congress the proper subterfuge was to call
for "cold tea. but that has been abandoned.
At the Senate restaurant, ales, beers and
wines are freely sold, but no stronger drinks
If Congress cannot make laws that can be
enforced in its own house, can we look for
phenomenal success in its law making for
the country?

Our old Greenback friend, the Hon. Frank
NJ. Fogg, is the same blatherskite he used to
be when he was delivering his windy har-
argues to the Maine Greenbackers. He is
just now posing as a Knight of Labor, and
in that capacity addressed meeting in
Washington, Monday night He was as pic
turesque as ever, describing the men of
America as Christianized, civilized, Harvard
College educated cannibals. He breathed
out threatenings and slaughter in way that
must have terrified his audience, who were
probably unacquainted with him and listened
to that tremendous voice of his for the first
time. The capital city should not lay awake
nights for fear of Fogg, however Though
noisy as a cyclone, he is as harmless as
zephyr.
Is it not about time for a stirring procla-
nation from somebody calling upon all
Knights of Labor to pool in and assist the
horse railroad strikers in New York, regard
less as to whether the strike is wise or not.
A precedent for that sort of performance
having been established in the case of the
St. Louis strikers, we don't see how it can
consistently be disregarded now. The two
cases are very similar. Indeed the New
York case should appeal more strongly to
the Knights than the st. Louis, for the New
York men whose discharge is sought, are
guilty, not only of working without belong
ing to union, but also of having spoken dis
respectfully of the union, while the ST. Louis
men are guilty of the first only. Then the
walking delegates" who have been boycott
ting Mrs. Gray, they have claim even
stronger than the railroad or the horse car
men, for they have actually had to pay out
money in the shape of fines to maintain the
great principle that nobody has right to
work unless he has had a license from a
trades union.

1t is not $50 many years since the struggle
the question, Has man a right to join a
union? 1t was bitterly resisted by the en-
ployers of labor, and the contest had, as it
could only have had, the result of firmly es-
tablishing the aboring mans ans! right to follow
just, and it was the only one which could
possibly have been arrived at. There have
been numerous indications lately in the la
boring world that an issue was to be raised
to join union. This is not question to be
decided by the employers, but by the labor
ers themselves. There can be but one logi-
cal outcome to that contest. That is that a
man can do as he pleases.

The wonderful success of the boycott in
building up the business of Mrs. Gray's
bakery has attracted attention all over the
country, and it is not improbable that the
boycott is destined to become popular adj
vertising dodge. A st. Louis dry goods mer-
chant is the first to tumble to this method,
and all day long on Monday two men in his
employ stood in front of his store distribu-
ting the following circular:
"Boycott. TO the Knights of Labor of ST. Louis:
You are hereby notified that boycott has been
declared against the Empire dry goods store, cor
ner Thirteenth and Franklin avenue. A brother
workman canyaSsng for advertisements in our
new reference book-the book to be used by local
asSembles-called at the store, and had no sooner
made his business known than the proprietor be-
came very violent and threatened to eject him if
he did not Immediately leave the premises. Our
brother, not wishing to become involved in dis
pute. quietly left. Our committee then called to
see what we should do under the circumstances,
but the man would not listen to us, declaring at
the same time that we're the cause of his losing
money every day by ordering the strikes and he
did not intend TO distribute faVors to people who
ruined his business. He then put on his coat and
left the store, giving US no opportunity of coming
to a settlement. We, therefore, ask all persons to
keep away from the Empire dry goods store until
the proprietorS agree to pay all the costs of this
boycott, besides a fine of $50, and a retTacton in

Mrs Gregory Smiths Alta, A Story of a
Lost Island (New York: Harper & Broth
ers; Portland: Loring, Short 6 Harmon), is
very prettily rendered, and under the guise
of fiction the author has endeavored to en-
body an idea of the wonderful civilization Of
Atlantis, or the Garden of Hesperides, and
also to describe the awful cataclysm by
which it was supposed to have been des-
troyed eleven thousand four hundred years
ago. The old legend is fancifully wrought
out, and shows the luxuriance of the au-
thor's imagination, while she, with much
skill, essays to prove the immense superiori
ty OF the old civilization over the modern.
