.3g- Jim Blaine is the most arrant hypo-
critic and uncrupulous and dishonest man
who is now prominent before the people. He
used his place when in power to enrich him
self at the expense of the people and he pre-
tends to belief in religion, which is a dis
graceful farce. He privately assured the
sniveling Protestant preachers that he was
opposed to rum, Rom nism and rebellion,
while to Catholics he insinuated that he was
a son of the true church. He is, in fact a
very great liar and hypocrite. .-Sa',dushy

Suppose the extremists in the labor move
ments could have their way and bring about
state of society in which everybody would
be equal, what would be the results The
New York Sun thus answers the question:
What would become of all the trades and
occupations which now depend upon the ex-
penditures of the rich? Jewellers, gold
smiths, upholsterers, painters, sculptors,
culinary artists and all the other purveyors
of luxuries would be without customers.
There could be no galleries of costly paint
ings and sculpture, no peachblow vases, no
italian and German opera, no finely illus
trated books, no refnements of any kind
which require wealth for their Development
Plain houses, plain fare, plain clothing and
only the simplest forms OF pleasure and rec
reation would exist. With the disappear
ance of competition the usual incentives to
improvement would also disappear, and in
novations upon established methods and
processes would be resisted as they always
are by government officials. Society, in
short, would relapse into the condition from
which it began to emerge thousands of years
ago, with the prospect of retrograding rath-

ing a faro game. One was pointed out as
''hoodooed" on account of player having
been stabbed to death while bucking at
faro game there several months before. The
gambler said that was just the table he
was looking for. He rented it, opened
faro game and in less than thirty days won
two hundred thousand dollars from peasley.
On another occasion stranger entered
saloon with closed umbrella in his hand,
and approaching the bar called for a drink.
While waiting to be served he opened the
umbrella and unintentionally raised it over
the head of a gambler, who drew a pistol
and discharged its contents into the person
of the owner of the umbrella, killing him
instantly. The gambler was arrested and
the defense set up at the trial was that he
had killed the stranger as the only effectual
method of removing the hoodoo placed upon
his luck by innocently raising an open um-
brella over his head. eff I hadn't killed
him." pleaded the murderer, 81 would never
have had another days luck as long as 1
lived" The sequel to the homicide proved
lucky to the public, as the cranky sport was
hanged for the crime.
In the mining camps in California in early
days rabbits claw nailed underneath the
top of a table covered with faro or monte
layout was reckoned dead hoodoo," and
miners visiting towns adjacent to their camp
on Sundays would often stick a cottontaiPs
trotter underneath the top of gaming table
at which they were bucking. 1t was not an
uncommon occurrence at the close of deal re-
sulting unluckily for the game for the dealer,
lookout and casekeeper to light candle and
carefully inspect the under part of the top of
the table in search of the obnoxious rabbits
claw to which they attributed their bad luck.
On one occasion dealer was shot and fell
stone dead underneath the table while at
tempting to remove one of the i'll omened
claws by the player who placed it there.
When you see the proprietors of a game
shifting the table holding a faro layout to
another part of the room you can safely bet
that the game is losing and that they are do
ing it to change their luck.
Players also have peculiar superstitions and
will frequently leash in" their checks and
quit the premises as soon as certain persons,
whom they designate as hoodoos, enter a
room where they are bucking at a game.
Some players will never enter room except
by the left hand door, sat themselves at the
left hand of the dealer and handle their
checks and coin only with the left hand. If
they meet woman when crossing the street
or sidewalk while on their way to a game
they forego their intention of bucking on
that day
Ex-Chief of Police Morrison was an in
veterate faro player, and was never absent
from table long enough to get his meals
during the last few months before he alb
seconded His superstition almost bordered on
insanity. If certain persons entered a room
where he was playing he would glare at
them like a maniac and beckoning them to
his side would pass out quarter and re-
quest them to go out and get a drink and
stay out, stating that he couldn't win a cent
while they remained.

ROLLKN WI. SQUIRE.


The career of Rollin M. Squire in New
York city has been an interesting one. He
emigrated to New York from Boston, and
shortly after his arrival there was made
Commissioner of Public Works, to the great
surprise of most of the people of New York,
who had no idea that such man as Squire
was in existence. His appointment and its
results form an instructive illustration of
politics as understood and practiced in New
York city.
Ever since Squire went into office he has
been persistently and vigorously attacked.
And it begins to look as if the attack that has
been made upon him has a foundation. He
is now cited to appear before the mayor and
answer several definite charges which have
been made against him. These charges do
not mention that he wrote some bad poetry
and had it put in a conspicuous place on the
front of the city hall at the time of General
Grants death, but there is enough without
this A letter is published which is declared
to be Mr. Squire's, and this contains as ex
traordinary an agreement as has recently
been brought to light. Aoco ording to this
letter, to secure his confirmation when ap-
pointed by Mayor Edison, Squire agreed,
in payment for the influence of Maurice B.
Flynn, who was to secure mot less than
four County Democracy aldermen" to vote
in his favor, to place his resignation in
Flynn's hands whenever he might demand
it, to make no appointments without his
approval, to make such removals as he
might suggest aud request, and to transact
the business of the Office as he might direct.
The significance of this agreement is seen
when it is remembered that Mr.. Flynn is
contractor as well politician, and could
profit much by having control of the depart
ment of public works in New York city.
But this is not the only charge against
Squire. He is accused of mutilating public
records by directing certain pages to be re-
moved from one of the letter books of his
department; of certifying false pay rolls to
the controller and causing mum Der of men
to be paid from the Croton water fund for
service under the chief engineer of the Gro
ton acqueduct when no such service was
performed; for evasion and violation of the
civil service law of the State in making
clerical appointments; for neglect of duty
and unftuess for office in appointing an ex-
convict TO q reSponSlDle poSltlon, anu VI VIZ
lation of law and neglect of duty in failing
to appoint an engineer to supervise the lay
ing of the Fifth avenue pavement.
It looks if Squire would have to go. 1t
is evident that powerful politicians are after
his scalp, and he will find it difficult to
make any adequate defense even if he is in
nocent. But the reputable newspapers of
New York think he isn't,

Judge Stoddard,s Charge.

Mr. Alling submitted a written argument
against that part of the judges charge which
tolerated boycotting on account of the mate
rial interests of the boycotters. He said if
the object of the boycotters was to compel
the proprietors of the COURIER to dismiss
their men and employ the boycotters and
their friends, it was an infringement upon
the natural and lawful right OF the publish
ers 1t was to force o dismissal of employees
whom they desired to employ, and to give
their places to those whom they preferred
not to employ. When the rights of one per-
son infringe upon the rights of another, said
Mr. Alling, it is not lawful for the aggressor
to force his right to the injury of another.
We suppose this may be illustrated by the
fact that man mas right to drive on
highway; but he has no right to drive into
the team of his neighbor. Has mechanic
a right to "demand'' work of an employer
who does not need and does not want his
services? A demand implies right, as in
the case of holder of note to demand
payment. But no one has right to demand
work of those who do not want his work
A machinist has workmen upon nice and
complicated machinery. Have other work
men, whose skill is not equal to that of the
persons employed, or We may say who are
not SO well liked by the employer as his ex-
pert workmen, a "right" to demand" that
the employer shall dismiss his workrnen and
IDENTIFY not; and we think Judge Stoddard
did not actually mean to say that outside
printers had right to demand of the CoUR-
TER proprietors that they should dismiss
| their compositors and employ outsiders, with
whom the COURIER owners were not ac-
uuainted and whose services they did not
want. But he probably did mean to cover a
case like this, viz: The employees of an Of
| fee have a right to say that they will not
work under certain conditions, that they will
not work with certain men; and they de-
mand change dismissal, and strike If
would be to f'promote their own material in
terests;" and this Judge Stoddard would
| consider the lawful right of the workmen
But we will suppose that the union men of
New Haven had right to demand the work
| in the COURIER Office and right to boycott
and injure the Office if their demand was re
fuseda Then we will suppose that the CouR-
TER dismissed it's men and employed the un-
tors have ga right" in turn to demand the
non union men should be hireds If their
demand should not be complied with would
not they also have ga right" to boycott and
ruin the COURIER if they could?
There can be no doubt that the highest
court will rule that an employer may be the
| Judge as to whom he shall employ; and that
the employe shall be the judge whether he
will or will not work for any employer. And
the court we do not doubt will hold that no
one has right to boycott or injure either
party for exercising his judgment in this
matter of his personal rights.

The "boom" which Atlanta, Geor gia, has
enjoyed is apparently on the wane. 1t is as
serted that two thousand dwelling no uses in
the city are vacant and that real estate has
deprecated fifty per cent. The saloon keep
ers attribute this change to the effects of pro-
hibition.
