THE WORKMAN BoYcorTKD.

Some Bhallow.pated economists assert
that labor iB o commodity. Some EN-.
ployers believe that labor is q commodity.
They wish To obtain that commodity for
the lowest possible price. The workmen

American labor, sends 10 Europe for a
cheaper man who does not understand our
laws or institutions, brings him over To
this country and secures his commodity
for 81 q day less than his old employe
charged him. The American workman IL
boyCotted. A false idea Of economy takes
possession Of the employer before he In.
augurates this system Of boyCottlng. He
believes that II he Can get labor, or com.

profits. Let us follow that q little further
and find out what he reapa. Suppose

General Master Workman Powderly has
forwarded to q New York journal q
lengthy letter on boyCottipg, drawn out
by the publication Of his last secret Circu'
lar. In it he charges employers with
having been the first to use the weapon,
and in defense Of this assertion writes as
follows:
A secret circular sent out to the order Of
Knights Of Labor, under the date of May
8, has been given to the public through
the medium Of the daily press, Some
papers in commenting on the publication
OF the circular take occasion TO predict the
downfall OF the organization because one
member has betrayed confidence. The
Knights OF Labor were never so strong as
at this moment. The association is pass,
ing through the CruGibls OF criticism, aud
it will come out OF 1t purer, brighter and
more powerful than ever. have no doubt
as to the future, for l know the material
OF which the organization Is composed.
A leading journal commenting on my
circular, or that part which relates to boy

nouuCes boycotting, He hates even the

am glad that a leading molder OF pub
liz opinion admits that "the boycott, az q
means OF coercion, Is to be compared to
dynamite as a destructive force" viii
that journal apply that comparison tothe
boyCotting employer as readily as to the
boyCotting employee? Let us turn back
the pages Of history for half a century.
The year 1885 heard the hum OF the spin.
ning.wheel, the ring Of the anvll', and
the sound Of the shOemaker's hammer all
over the land. One craft will serve as an
illustration, II you travelled through the
United States you did 1t on horseback or
IN the stage-cOaCh. The highways over
which you travelled were dotted here and
there with the village blacksmith shops
and country shoe-shops. The steel rail
has taken the place Of the wagon road.
The Btage.CoaCh finds Its nose put out OF
joint" by the locomotive. The song OF
the shoemaker and the sound Of his ham.
mer cannot now be heard above the roar
and crash OF machinery.
Village shoe-shop, stage and stage road
are being boyCotted.
What has become Of the shoenakers2
You will find them, not strung along the
country roads, each one independent In
his own shop, but huddled together by
tens, hundreds and thousandsin the large
manufactures 10 DO found in every large
city in the United States. They have
been called in from the highways and by.
ways at the bidding Of capital. Fifty
years ago many, men or employers, hired
one shoemaker. To-day many shoemak.
ers are hired by one employer. The CON-
ditiOns have changed. A part Of mans
independence has been given away in u.
ieCting the change. What is true OF the
shoe trade Is true Of Others. Men have
been gathered into large factories, mills
and shops. II one Of these displeases his
employer, Rs represented by the Buperin.
tendent, he Is discharged, let the otfense
DO what it may. II that employer wishes
to do 10 he can drive the mar he has dis.
charged to the verge Of starvation. l
knew q man who committed suicide
because his name had been sent ahead,
Of him to the shops where he applied
for work with this warning. "Do not
hire him, he is q dangerous character"
The mans ollense was his habit Of de.
uounCing his employer and speaking
harshly OF him when drunk. The super.
intendent Of the factory owned the saloon
where the men bought the liquor which
made him drunk. Where large factories
exist 1t Is an easy matter to discharge a
man and blacklist (boyCott) him until be
sues for forgiveness, commits suicide or
enlists In the army Of tramps. It is an
easy matter to enforce the boycott in this
way, and every labor association in this
country can furnish instances Of most
heartless boyCotting Of workingmen by
employers. / had In my possession the
black.lists Of seven factories and three
railroads, with the names Of boycotted
employees and the offense they were
charged with given in full. These lists
do not say that the men whose names
are given should not be employed. That
is given in a separate communication.

Christmas at the Or.
phan's Home.

1t would help make Christmas
happier TO every parent. TO every
little boy in Logan, if on Christmas
day, a present would bo sent to the
little orphan boys and girls at the
Homo.
In the abundance, at least in the
sufficiency We may possess, it will
make the day warmer to hearts and
hearths, If a gift, a token Of remem-
brance be sent TO children out by
the Poor House.
Any of our little boys and girls,
grown up people and parents as
well. who wish to send gifts 70 the
orphans, and have no means Of
their own for getting out, can have
them forwarded by leaving at the
Sentinel Office not later than 8
o'clock, Christmas morning.
The Sentinel has provided for a
team and ''our boys" will carry out
some gifts, and will be glad to car
ry there from others that may be

THE c. W. & B. REDUCE THEIR
HOLIDAY EXCURSION
RATE.

On December 24th, 18th, 3lst, 1856,
and January lst, 1897, round trip tick
cts will be sold from and to all points
on the C. w. and b. Railroad, main
llne and branches, at one fare for the
round trip. Rate for children, half this
smount. These tickets will be good re-
turning until January Sd. 1856, inclu-
sive.
Thus the C. W. 3. presents its usual
Christmas Gift, an even more accept
able one than heretofore, inasmuch Us
this excursion rate is lower than that
OF last year.
The reduction is opportune, for
Christmas is a time for visiting old
friends and the union OF the family at
the old homestead, and the early date
on which there tickets can be scli gives
ample time for the purchase of the
necessary gifts. Scarcely have the
merry Christmas days passed than
New Years day briggs It's social duty
and the good old customs of calling on
friends and acquaintances must be
honorei and observed
To those who wish to visit Cincinnati
during the Holidays, that city offers
many and new attractions. All the
theaters will present unusually good
bills and the concert halls and other
places of amusement will make special
efforts TO entertain, while the city itself
is sight we'll worth seeing during the
busy Holiday week.
Excursionists will notice that tickets
are good from Friday 24th, (or, other
dsies purchasedl until Monday, Jan'y,
Sd, thus including two holidays and
two Sundays IN this long limit.

Pleasant Surprise Party.

Last Saturday was the 10th an-
nlversary of Mr.. and Mrs. j. If.
Floyd's marriage, and in accordance
with the customs of our Logan pao-
pie. the couple were given Il sur
priss.
Tho moyemc mt was successfully
engineered by Mrs. Moore, Mrs.
Gould. Mrs. Stiers, Sheriff Gala
CHER, Ben White and the Floyd
family. A hundred and more of
friends, in the absence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Floyd, who had been adroitly
kept away took possession Of the
house, and managed thing in away
TO suit their own sweet wills.
1t is needless 10 say that wins n
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd came home
and found the house full of people,
both were paraIyzingly surprised.
The friends had procured a hand
some china set as present, which
was rendered to Mr.. and Mrs.
Floyd by Mr.. s. II. Bright in his
usual happy style, MIR. Floyd respond
ing III fitting terms ofacknowledge-
menf. Rev Thomas pronounced a
blessing and a benediction, and an
elegant supper followed the ladies
having m1de ample preparation for
he delicious and delightful closing
exercise.
With the many friends of Jack
Floyd and his wife, the Sentinel
unites in tender of congratulations,
and joins in the wish that life may
BE- long continued to the happy
compile, and that twenty years more
and more may be vouchsafed to
them.
We will add that Ben White was
elected historian for the occasion,
and when he has written Twenty
Years of Married Life the article
will appear in the Sentinel.

Death of Geo. Spencer.

Last week we made a note OF
the shooting Of Geo. Spencer, at
Old Straitsville, by Henry Bun
gard.
On Friday evening, Dec. Sth,
Geo. Spencer went 10 the Bap-
tist Church in Old Straitsville TO
attend a singing school that was
then in progress. While there
he asked fer the company of
Barbary Bungard, but she refus-
ed to allow him 10 take her home.
Spencer then followed her out
side, and as she claims. insulted
her, as he had repeatedly done
before. Finally he urged his suit
so strong that the girl slapped
him. But this did not stop him,
and annoyed at her continued
refusal 10 accept his company,
he pulled his revolver and shot
her through the arm. Her broth
er, Henry, who was present, tEen
returned the fire, fatally wound
ing Spencer, who died at nine
o'clock, Saturday morning. Dec.
18th, and was buried the day fol-
lowing at the cemetery at Gore.
Wednesday morning, young
Bungard. who has been in this
city since The death of Spencer,
left for New Siraitsvilie with his
attorney, l.. j. Burgess, where he
was TO have a preliminary hear
ing before Justice Newman.
The defendant expects TO prove
that the shooting was done in
self defense.
The dying statement OF Spencer
and the Bungard girls story
agrees up to the time of The shoot
ing. In this statement he denies
the shooting, though it can he
shown that he did admit to it
Immediately afterit was done.
1t was supposed at first that
the Bungard girl had done the
shooting, and the officers appear
ed at her home with q warrant
for her arrest. Her brother ex-
planned that he was the one
wanted. and went voluntarily
before the Justice and was ad-
mltted TO bail in the sum of 5000.
This was following the night of
the shooting.
The Bungards are members of
the Baptist Church and are high
ly esteemed by some of the best
people about Oreville where they
live. The father of the family
has been dead about fourteen
years, and since that time the
mother has been able 10 keep
her children togsther. Henry
Bungard is highly spoken of. He
is a young man that does not
drink or gamble; is quiet and
not the man TO shoot rashly or
without some great provocation.
We have not at this writing
learned the result of the prelim-
mary hearing.

AZ Honest fSsY.

On last Sunday Charley Deisalcy
son of our Marshal. employed in
the Office of DIR. Campbell, picked
up an envelope on the street, which
OF examina ton contained nearly
one hundred dollars. The boy
with manly and honest impulse
gave the valuable find to his en-
p!oyer. Certain papers in the en-
velope will enable the loser to be
identified. Charley is to be ap-
plauded for his honesty in not keep
ing the money, and if he does not
get a handsome Christmas gift from
the owner, he will be happy in
the conscienceness Of having done
right.

A Bold Burglary.

Some unknown parties entered
the store of Tritsch DC Sti-
ers last night, and succeeded in
cracking the safe and getting away
with $ls2.s7.
The burglars raised a window in
John lnscho's wagon maker shop
and procured 1 chiscl there with
which the shutters at the rear of
the store were pried open and an
entrance effected.
There was a hole bored In the
sa fe about six inches below the lock Il,
and it is supposed the charge of
powder was put in there. The
shock must have been terrific, as
the door of the safe was blown TO
pieces and the lock badly shatter-
cd. There were several persons in
the nelguborh0od tnat heard NOISE
the latter part of the night, but
having no suspicion OF such work
did not raise the alarm. There is a
difference of opinion as to whc
done the work. Some arc lnclin-
cd TO think the job might have been
done by home talent, while others
think the work shows the skill Of a
professional cracksman, No arrcs is
have been made at this writing. -
Several supicious characters were
loaGng about town yesterday, and if
the aut h o.itlcs stir themselves The
authors Of this dastardly job msy
be apprehended and brought 10 JUS
tice.

Some wag about town last week
filled a carpet sack with old iron
and started it on the rounds. The
grip weighed about IS lbs. The
game was this: Some person
would strike some other person
and ask if he wanted to make a
quarter. OF course they did and
then they would be instructed
that some runner up at Waner's
or down at Hartmans, wanted
the grip sack carried to them
Then the victim started and was
followed in his wanderings by
the ewes Of an adr,iring public.
1t vas worth a dollar to carry
this bag one square and there
are at least a dozen men in town
who decline to discuss the sub
ject.
