They Wont Go East.

1t was supposed, says the San
Francisco Post, that the present
war of rates among the railroads
would result in Kidding California
of large number of Cinnamon who
would take advantage of clrcum-
stances to get out Of the reach of
the oppressive boycott. A tour Of
the railroad Offices, however, shows
that the heather is not inclined to
journey to the East even at the re-
duced rates. The agents say that
there has been no increase in the
travel of Chinese, but on the con-
trary, since the low rates have been
made they have ceased almost en-
tlrely to purchase tickets for the
East. Each local railroad has had
from one to half-dozen Cinnamon
as solicitors among their country
men, but they have failed to drum
up passengers. 1t seems that many
Chinese look upon the rate as in
stituted especially as a scheme to
get them further into the heart of
the country, where they may fare
worse than in California. Some of
the more intelligent assert that if
the present boycott is kept up any
length of time they will have to
leave the United States, and they
do not care to get far away from
San Francisco and the. China
steamers until they know what will
be the result Of the present asita-
ton.

AN INSTRUCTIVE EXPERIMENT,


The experiment in cooperation described
in the July Century by Mr.. Theodore L. De
Vinne, New York master printer, is in
struetive, revealing, as it does, many of the
difficulties in the way of solving the labor
problem by cooperation.
The association whose workings are de-
scribed by Mr.. De Vinne was formed by
journeymen in an important trade with the
purpose of being their own employers. The
start was auspicious, almost everything they
used being their own, and excellent custom
pretty well assured. Success the first quar-
ter was beyond expectation; it turned the
heads in fact of several of the members, who
now began to give themselves airs. They
came later, went earlier and frequently took
days holiday. This irregularity offended
the regular members; quarreling ensued and
production fell off. The first years balance
sheet was not very satisfactory, and every
member threw the onus of the comparative
failure on the management, every one being
sure that if he were manager he could cir
cumscribe the expenses and extort more work
from the boys. The second years business
gave no better promise, under the same ex-
travagant scale of expenses and the same dis
position to shirk work. To aggravate mat
ters, the tools and machinery were deterior-
ating badly, and the work turned out was
consequently Of an inferior description and
led to dissatisfaction the part of custo-
mers and to loss of orders. The management
recommending the purchase of improved ma
chinery and the enforcement of stricter
code of working morals, the association
broke up and the individual members return
ed to the method of working for weekly
wages. They attributed their failure to in
ternal dissensions and insuficiency of capi-
tai.
Mr.. De Vinne thinks that failure in this
case, as in most cases of attempted co-opera-
ton, is due to the ignorance of the co-opera-
tors as to the method of managing business,
and particularly to their Ignorance of the
smallness of the profit made from each work
man. They expect too much and soon get to

| is a man in Peabody, Massachusetts,, who
| does not agree with these lawyers. The boy.
cotters who infest that town have issued
orders to the grocers of the town to refuse to
sell the necessaries of life to certain Mr.
Copeland, for the reason that he persists in
working for firm obnoxious to them. In
their attempt they are partially successful, at
least one firm of grocers having acceded to
their demand, and, in terror doubtless of
boycotting in case of refusal, have notified
Mr.. Copeland that they will supply him with
no more goods. The Peabody Reporter gives
the following statement of the affair:
An honest, steady, law abiding and hard
working citizen of this town received in the
latter part of last week the following some
what remarkable communication from a
prominent storekeeper who had been sup
plying him with groceries:
Mr.. L. M. Copeland-Dear Sir: We have received
furnishing you with groceries. We are pleased to
have good paying customers, and very sorry to
S. DoNNEIL & Son.
Mr.. Copeland wrote to the storekeeper to
ascertain the reason for this refusal to sup
ply him with the necessaries of life and OBJ
tanned this answer:
PEABODY, June 20, 1886.
Mr.. L. M. Copeland-Dear Sir: Yours received
and contents noted. Inreply will say, if you will
call at the store will furnish you with the in
formation you desire.
Very respectfully yours, etc.
Accordingly he went to the store, where a
proprietor explained that he acted under the
order of the boycotters, who made this de-
mand because Mr.. Copeland worked for Mr..
Harrington.
1t is this kind of thing that indicates the
true nature of the new tyranny

A wAToH-sPRING' DEVASTATION.
1t Creates a Panic in a Street Car and
Makes the Conductor Howl.

[From the Baltimore Americana
A tall, thin man with a cast in his eye
boarded Blue-line car going east on Balti-
more street recently. He looked like a per-
son who would not be surprised if the world
would suddenly come to an end and leave
him alone in the universe. The seats of the
car were full, but nobody was standing
Most of the passengers were ladies. The
tall, thin man pulled out his Waterbury
watch and compared it with the big chro-
nometer near Light street. The two time
pieces did not agree. The tall man proceed
ed to open his Waterbury watch at the rear.
He pried open the outer case and on the in
ner case he saw the ominous inscription:
s'Don't remove the cap unless you are a
practical watch repairer."
This did not scare the thin man bit. He
got out his penknife and pried the case of
with the little blade.
Great Caesar! what revelation there was
in that car.
The moment the cap came off a steel spring
about forty yards long popped out and un-
coiled itself up to the ceiling of the car. 1t
was like the devil coming out of his band
box, After touching the roof the spring re-
coiled and then uncoiled. and then became
wound up in most horribly confused way.
It would dart out like serpent's tongue all
over the car, around the necks of the pas
sengers, up their trowsers legs, under the
seat, out the front door and around the dri-
yer's stool Then it would curl about the
thin man and run out of every window on
that side of the car. The female passengers
shrieked and the perspiration gathered in
great beads on the tall mans alabaster brow.
He tried to throw the watch out of the
window, but it would not go. The spring
dragged it back and it few into the conduc-
tors face and in his excitement he tread on
a fat passengers pet corn, and the fat man
howled as though his liver had struck for
shorter hours and higher wages.
The conductor tried to toss the demoniacal
watch through the door, but it returned and
went whistling through the car like one of
the KiIroy's hot balls and hit the door so vi
olently that it left the exact time of day in
delibly stamped on the panel.
Finally the tall man, with the assistance
of the conductor and several of the passen-
gers, succeeded in gathering together what
appeared to be ten bushels of wire springs,
and the car stopped and they gently carried
it out into the street and said: s'Now then,
all togetherl'' and dropped it and ran for
their lives.
When the thin man looked at his Water
bury watch after the excitement had subsi-
ded he found that there was absolutely moth
ing in it-not even wheel or pivot. The
spring had been running the watch entirs3y
and exclusively on its own responsibility
and when it fed nothing remained but the
case to tell the mournful story.

A PROA-LOAR OF PIRATES
Utility of Broken Pop.BottleS in Dis
committing the Enemy-Flung Over

board.
Thomas w. Knox in Chicago Times.
The voyage had been long and the crew
and passengers were English; they had con-
sumed literally of bottled beer, and the emp
ty bottles were lying in barrels in one of the
storerooms attached to the cabin. "Bring
up tn e bottles and break them over the deck ,
said the rnissionary's wife. The captain
'caught on" to the suggestion, and very
quickly the bottles were scattered and smash
ed, SO that the deck was covered with broken
glass from the very farthest point of the
bows as far back as the entrance 70 the
poop-eabin. Everybody was heavily poeted
for the occasion, and therefore could walk
around with little danger. The Malays go
barefooted all their lives, and the glass
promised to make serious interference with
their locomotion. Some pigs of lead were
placed near the bows on either side. Two
sailors were detailed to pitch these missiles
into the proa when she came alongside, in
the hope of smashing her frail bottom, and
having done so they were to run aft
and join the rest of the party of defend
ers.
The pirates came ON according to their
usual custom and swarmed over the bows.
Some of the foremost were brought down
hy the muskets in the hands of the brig'S
people, but great many more were leveled
by the broken glass. One of the pigs of
lead was well aimed and fell into the proa,
smashing hole that kept her occupants
busy to save her from sinking. The
pirates crowded on board with great rapid
ity; those behind pushed the foremost ahead,
and none of them comprehended the new
enemy until too late. The broken glass cut
their feet and they fell to the deck; and as
| they writhed and twisted about in their effort
| to rise they were lacerated more and more
| Not one of them got further aft than amid
| ship, and all the forward part of the deck
| was literally covered with wounded Malays.
| In five minutes it was plain to that the
| assailants had got the worst of it, and the
| briggs people would have things their own
way The fire of the muskets was directed to
| the leaking proa, which was thus compelled
to retire to a safe distance; looking astern, the
captain saw breeze approaching, and very
soon the sails of the brig filled, and she began
| to forge ahead.
The captain requested the missionary and
| his wife to retire to the cabin, promising to
| call them in case they were wanted, though
| he didn't think their presence would be
| needed for any of the subsequent proceed
| ings. The proa was put far astern and
| then the crew were put to work to rid them
selves of their unlimited and unwelcome Wis
itors ''I didn't want 'em to suffer with the
pain of the salt water in their Wounds" said
| the captain afterword in telling the story
| ''and so had each of them knocked in the
head with handspike before he was flung
| overheard. Besides, thought it was toe
good tip for 'em to be telling the other pir-
ates so that they'd wear shoes the next time
| they boarded an English ship.
