THE WAR SO vigorously carried on
against policy shops, under orders from
Mayor Rhoads, is having q good effect.
Policy writers are leaving their old
haunts as rats escape from sinking
ship. A few well-directed blows will
demonstrate that the lottery policy"
is very bad policy. We are glad for
two reasons that Mayor Rhosds has
taken the stand he has in the matter
first, because policy" in itself is an
unmitigsted curse. and second, because
1t WAS said that Mayor Rhoads owed
his election to the money and influence
Of the policy shops, and did not dare to
take stand against them. He has
shown by his actions that when he
knows he is right he dares to take a
stand for It. Let every good citizen

IT Is VERY hard to tell what day

concluded that If the present fiue
weather continues the A. O. U. ". ex-
cursion on Thursday TO Washington
and Harper's Ferry will be an immense
one. A pleasant and attractive feature
OF the excursion will DE the first sight
of the beautiful, romantic scenery along
the new line Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. Practically this will be the
opening OF the new road, aud every
bridge, rock, grove, nil, gorga and
plain will present new a3d attractive
sights. Those who want to stop off at
Washington to take glance at Con-
gress at work and see the striking
sights of that city can do SO, and those
WHO prefer TO g. on to Hsrper's Ferry
to view more romantic sights can use
their judg ment and do 20. IN either
case 1t stands as an uGrivaled excur-
sion, worthy Of the committee and the

OF ALL THE strikes the account Of
which has filed the newspapers
for the last three months or more, that
of the strike for beer in ribbon fac
tory in New York takes the cake
Twenty weavers there employed took
the notion and decided that they must
be allow wed pint of beer each ~ half
past three O'Clock or they would quit
work. The manufacturer, it is said,
drew the line at beer, and the twenty
weavers are doing nothing but drinking
beer for few days while they test the
powers OF endurance Of their anti. beer
employer. The great hardship OF the
matter Ia that sixty or seventy other
wesvers, who either do net want beer
or are willing to drink 1t out of work.
ing hours, are compelled to remain idle
till the beer drinkers 60 to work or new
men are employed in their places.
There have been many meritorious
causes for strikes, but this is certainly
not one OF them, or else the possibilities
Of the strike business are practically
unlimited. II men strike for beer there
Is no good reason why they may not
strike for cocktails, mint juleps and
other seductive fluids. Shop girls may
legitimstely ask for ice cream and bon
bons during working hours and decline
bo work unless they are granted. In
fact the humble Of reasons for which
strikes may be ordered would be SC
great as to lead to the not un'
reasonable expectation that striking
would soon become the chief industry
of the country. We are rather inclined
to think that those who strike for beeI
care more for beer than they dc fol
work and wages, and their PLACES could
be better filled by persons who could
worry through work hours without
beer.
