Where Borcotting Leads.


The boycott Is NOT proving to be
an entirely satisfactory means
for accomplishing the end simed
at. 1t is sort of boomerang which
/ is as liable TO injure those who use it as
those for whom it is intended. Take,
for instance, the Mallory steamship
line, against which a boycott has been
importation for several weeks. The ability
of the line to afford employment to work
ingmen will be diminished in proportion
TO the injury done its business. The same
is true with respect to all others who may
may be boycotted for refusing to respect
the boycott against the line.
If this boycotting business lie traced to
its legitimate consequences, it becomes
apparent that the workingmen run a
greater risk of being injured than those
who have the handling Of capital. Every
thing that clogs the wheels Of trade and
stops the free circulation of money, tends
to make capital timid. The result is that
the money which ought TO be invest
ed in legitimate enterprises is
locked up in the banks. Then
comes the complaint from working
men that they can get no work. They
fail to comprehend that their own acts
| have produced the condition of affairs OF
! which they complain. Where there is
| doubt, uncertainty and social disorders
there can be no true prosperity. The
foundation of what people call good times
is confidence in all sorts OF enterprises,
and all kinds of legitimate business.
l Money is then put into railroads, build
/ ings, mines, manufactures, etc. The de-
mand for labor Increases and labOr's COM
| pensation increases with the demand.
The boycott does not tend to increase
confidence. 1t produces distrust. 1t
crippes business and enterprises OF all
sorts. The demand for labor consequently
falls off, and the wages of workingmen
decreases.
There are occasions doubtless when
wOrkingmen are exasperated by the op-
pressive eXactions OF Ca pitalists, and they
resort to measures which they hope will
force compliance with what they regard
as their just demands. The boycott is
rapidly becoming the chief of these meas
ures, and the oftener 1t is employed the
more evident it becomes that it reacts
with disastrous effect upon those who
seek benefits from IL. An apparent tenn
porary advantage does not insure a per-
been blinded to their own interests by the
temporary success, in some instances, of
the boycott and It's retaliatory feature.

accident and the car was thrown from the

A Michigan Congressman has intro
duced a bill to have copies Of the Con-
gresSiOnal Record sent to every district
organization of the knights of Labor.
he says the labOring men should know all
the details of legislation at the national
capital. 1t may be reasonably suspected
that the Congressman did not take this
step so much from desire TO benefit the
knights as 70 keep them quiet. He
knows. doubtless, that if they try to read
the Record every day they will neither
have the time nor heart to do anything
else, as the hours they are not occupied
in reading will be devoted to weeping
over the degeneracy of American states

The Deep Water Resolution.

From our dispatches this morning 1t
seems that there is not much hope that
the resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Norwood, providing for an immediate
survey of the Savannah river from the
cross tides to the sea, with view of get
ting % feet of water. has no chance of
passing In time to permit of survey be-
fore the present river and harbor bill Is
completed. According to the dispatches
it will not receive consideration by the
River and Harbar Committee except in
connection with the river and harbor bill.
There are as many as hundred
other resolutions of similar character
before the committee. 1t is doubtful.
however, If there is one of them that is
similar to the Savannah harbor
resolution in one respect-and that
is that the Savannah harbor resolu-
ton asks for no appropriation. 1t is
probable that all the others do. There is
absolutely no good reason, there
fore, why the Savannah harbor
resolution should not be considered
at once. We are bound to believe.
however, that Representative Norwood
presented this difference between the reso-
buttons to the committee. He was GER
tainly we'll informed with regard to it.
There appears to be a chance for a new
post office building. There is no occasion
for feeling happy, however, over the
chance. 1t will be time enough to rejoice
when the bill gets so far along that there
is a reasonable certainty of its passage.

Discussing Mr.. Garland's Course,

| Discussing Mr.. GaFland's course.
The New York World says that it may
be considered as definitely settled that
Attorney General Garland will be asked
to resign. The President, SAYS the
WorlPs Washington correspondent, is
| inc lined to think that Mr.. Garland is be-
coming too heavy load for the admins
tratiOn. The New York I ribune says that
the Presidents course is foreshadOwed
by one of his Washington organs; that
the Cabinet will not be reorganized, and
that the President is confident that the
future will vindicate Mr.. Garland.
1t would be interesting to know how
much foundation either OF these journals
has for it's assertion relative to Cabinet
changes. 1t is pretty safe to assume,
however, that neither has any reliable in
formation, but it is probable that the
Tr1bune'S assertion is much nearer the
truth than the Worries is.
Neither the President nor anyone else
believes that Mr. Garland is a corrupt man,
and the President isn't going to create
the impression that he believes that he is
corrupt by asking him to resign, and there
Is no reason to think that Ar. Garland is
going to practically admit that he is cor
rupt by resigning.
Mr.. Garland has announced that he
will have nothing to do with the suit
which has been ordered to be brought in
the name of the United States to test the
validity of the Bell patents. The suit will
go on whether he remains in the Cabinet
or not. 1t ought not to make much diff
ference to the Bell Company, therefore,
whether Mr.. Garland does or does not
resign.
There appears to be an impression,
however, that il Mr.. Garland can be driven
out Of the Cabinet the suit will be stopped.
When II becomes clear that Mr.. Garland's
course will have no influence on the suit
in any way 1t is probable that the attacks
on him will cease.

the details are woven in with rare skill.
The story is entitled "MAGDALEN, THE

Some interesting figures, showing the
profits of the Bell Telephone Company,
are being published. From these figures
it appears that the actual cost of tele-
phone-a transmitter and a receiver-is
SO A. Each telephone brings the CON-
pany an annual rental of $l4. The re-
turns made by the company a year ago,
show that at that time there we're 329. 500
telephones in use, and that the receipts
for the preceding year were 81 1863, 442.
The actual cost OF all the instruments
was 1864 600. On an investment, therefore,
OF less than 100000, the company had a
gross income of nearly $4,000. 600 a year.
1t will be admitted that this is a pretty
large per cent. 1t is large enough to Gre
ate a very strong desire for some Of the
stock.
But the annual rental from the tele-
phones is not the only source OF the com.
pany's revenue. 1t holds stock in many
local companies, much of which pays
enormous dividends. The stock OF some
of the local companies pays about as well
as the stock Of the parent company. II is
not TO be wondered at, therefore, that the
feeling in favor OF having the validity OF
the Bell patents tested is very general. 1t
is not denied that If the Bell patents were
obtained honestly those who own them
ought to be protected In their rights, but
the public 10 not disposed TO pay such an
enormous tax for the use OF telephones il
there is no lawful authority for exacting

Senator Leland stanford, OF California

Senator Leland Stanford, Of California,

rate and original historic design or por-

the first Democratic statesman that
fsunts such an expensive entertainment
IN the faces OF the people will be prompt

Tom Reed, the Congressman, has the
reputation of being pretty smart fellow.
but the following advice from the back
woods of Texas may not be without value
to him. The Fort Worth Gdzette says:
mr.. Reed, of Maine, who has introduced
a bill in Congress for a constitutional
amendment granting to women the privi-
lege Of voting is going long distance to
reach an object easily attained. A con-
stitutional amendment is not necessary to
give women the right to vote. mo place
does the constitution prohibit them from
voting. On the contrary, reasonable in
depreciation OF that instrument fayors the
view that 1t contempates a universally
of suffrage not limited by sex. If Mr..
Reed wants woman suffrage simple law
of Congress will give 1t.
