Boycott and Poison in Texas

FORT WORTH, Tex, March l6.-The
Knights of Labor have the upper hand
here. Boarding houses and hotels which
accommodate men who take the strikers

refusing to sell them meat. All this is

against the strikers, but business men are
afraid of being boycotted. John Taggort,
boarding house keeper, was boycotted yes
terday, a waterman from whom Taggort
has been purchasing bis water supply for
drinking purposes, refused to sell any
more to him and now he has to go two
miles to secure water. His landlord, one
of the richest citizens of Fort Worth has
ordered him to vacate his house. Yes
terday some poison was thrown into Tag
gort's water barrel and a women and
two little girls were poisoned and now lie
in a critical condition.

A Question About a Barber.

The question is raised, in Philadelphia,
as to whether barber is an expert on
wool. If this is not just the issue it is
something akin to it. 1t is very not easy
to tell just what the matter in dispute is
the evident fact being that the disputants
do not know this themselves, or are not
willing, at least, to discover to others that
they know it. The Philadelphia Record
is strongly for free wool, and the Press is
strongly contrariwise. 1t will be noted
that this is quarrel over the tariff. The
Press has hired high thrift professor to
maintain the high tariff doctrine in that
thick and thin way, which is so customary
to professors. The Record seems to be
loaded down to the gunwale with free
trade enthusiasts who can see no good in
any other doctrine, nor any evil in the
widest practice of their own.
Philadelphia happens to be town where
wool fabrics are largely manufactured; and
the Record had fair chance to see advocacy
of free wool warmly sympathized with
at a town meeting held the other day t.
consider the matter and to boost free wool
And here is where the new issue came in
for one of the German band of BARRIERS OF
the place, named Herwig, made speech
for free wool. The Press noted that Mr..
Herwig was a barber discussing wool. The
Record queried whether barber had
not as good right as any other
man to discuss wool. The Press
replied that while the profession of
the barber is an eminently responsible
one, it does not particularly conduce to ar
expert knowledge of wool; refraining, WI
believe, with extraordinary self-control
from any intimation that there is WOO
on which a barber is an expert, though I
is not manufactured wool, nor imported
though the original plants were.
If we may be permitted to settle this con
troversy between our contemporaries, W
will suggest that our own opinion is tina
while Mr.. Herwig, rs a barber, is not b
his occupation entitled TO be considered a
expert in the wool weaving industry or tn
effect of the duty on wool thereon, yet
Mr.. Herwig so illustrated and embazone
the question of free wool when h
discussed it at the Philadelphi
meeting as to demonstrate the profundit,
of his information and the soundness o
his logic on the question, Mr.. Herwil
justified his appearance. As to this, opn
ions will be apt to differ widely and WI
presume that it will never be settled
unanimously whether Herwig, the bar
Der, did well OF i'll in undertaking t.
instruct the people of Philadelphia as t,
the effect of free wool upon their industry

and equally faithful in promoting honest
claims he has turned out some of the
humbugs in the bureau, and let in honest
men and honest ways. Because he
has been able to do this he is de-
denounced by violent partisan senator rs
an impostor, in drawing the pension of a
man totally disabled. There is no appar-
ent warrant for such denunciation. There
seems to be no standard for granting pen
sions except disability for manual labor.
Here, for instance, our esteemed fellow cit
izen, Comrade NJ. Brosius, draws a PEN
sion because rifle ball shattered his
shoulder and disabled his right arm, Grip
ping at least one.half his ability to do
physical work, though it does not impair
his qualifications as lawyer, nor even les
sen his graces as an orator; Major Ellwood
Griest, of our esteemed contemporary, the
Inquirer, writes with no less vigol
because he draws pension for
wounds received in one of his wrist.
that lessened his fitness for mechanical
work Alderman J. X. Barr is borne OF
the pension rolls because of diminished ca
pacity for manual labor. but it does not
prevent him from exercising his aldermaniC
or clerical functions. 1t is only when the
alleged disability for manual labor does not
exist or was not contracted in the military
service that the pensioner is an impostor.

Congressman O'DonneII's Conversion.

From the Washington Post.
\ good story is being told at the expense
of Congressman O'Donnell, of Michigan.
During the progress of the bill providing
for scientific instruction in the public
schools, under the control of the national
government, upon the effect OF alcohol upon
the human system. Mr.. o. 'DOnnell, out of the
pure chivalry of his nature, paid a great
deal of attention to the ladies who were
interested i'll the matter so much SO,
indeed, that the ladies thought they
had secured convert in him. When
the voting came, however, Mr.. O'Don-
nell was not in the House. \ few days
aiterward he found on his desk a large
parcel OF Western temperance papers, with
a glowing article, marked with blue
pencil describing i'll triumphant terms
his conversion TO temperance prin-
ciples. His telluw-members got hold of the
story and have since been bandying good
natured Jokes at the expense of the " re.
claimed and converted congressman to such
an extent that he has been obliged to :" SET
'em up more than once Just to show that he
was still I" one of the boys"
