Advices from Yokohama say an important
change has just been effected In the japanese
government. Hitherto there have been three
principal offices-that of prime minister,
prime minister OF the left, ana prime minister
of the right, which ranked in the order named.
The council of state only existed In name, hay-
ing no responsibility ana no power apart from
the three prime ministers. As q couseq uence
the heads of the executive departments were
not personally responsible for the administra-
ton of the trusts in their charge. The new re-
form consists in the abolition Of the council Of
state and the offices OF prime ministers, and
the formation of a responsible cabinet consist
ing OF the chiefs OF the departments, with one
OF their number as president OF the cabinet. Ii

THE BOYCOTT TRIAL.
The Trial of Boycotters Proceeds
Slower than the Boycott Itself.

As we 90 to press there is very lit
tie of importance to tell about the
matter of the boycott prosecution
carried on by the State (.joWHM and
Co"riey) against four citizens who
are believers in the right Of work
men to let their enemies alone aud
advise their friends to follow their
good example. While the trial lasts
the WoEKMEN's ADVOCATE will have
little to say as to its merits. but our
readers may expect digest of the
affair when the trial is over. AS it
is possible that the jurymen are read
ers OF this paper, and might be un-
duly influenced in favor of the
wicked boycottcrs. At this writing
only the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton have been examined, and still
the boycott continues. Indeed. it
is difficult to see how such n right
eous mode of persuasion can be af-
fected by prosecuting union men,
except to make it more effective
against the prosecutors. Certainly
it would require the imprisonment
of the public itself, or its subsection
by force to accomplish the mild
scheme Of IIabor's enemies. In
short, the trial goes on, and so does
the boycott. if there is any virtue in
the organizations of workingmen.

). That poverty begets crime,
and that such social evils as filth.
brutality, drunkenness and the like,
can only be successfully attacked by
destroying the principal root want
or poverty.
4. That political freedom without
economical liberty i. e., the right
to vote without the right to be en-
ployed and earn the full undivided
fruit of ones toll, is farce.
,. That knowledge and virtue
can be implanted only in sound
minds, that II sound mind requires II
healthy body and that healthy body
requires good nourishment, pure air
and temperate work; we need first
bread, then education.
q. That philanthropic institu-
tons (as soup and aims houscs) are

rarlly qucll the wants of few but
are liable to foster caste of profes-
slonal bcggars and will never solve
the social question.
:. That most of our clergymen
are SO much absorbed in celestial or
financial matters as to lose sight of
suffering humanity.
s. The adulteration of mental
food Is the most heinous olrense
against human nature, yet most of
our leading papers are, for reasons
best known to themselves, ignoring
or mlsrepresentng the true state of
affairs while giving the minutest de-
scrlptlon of fashionable balls, scnsa-
tlonaI divorce cases, prize fights,

9. That oyerproduction does not
demand abstinence and economy but
rather an increased purchasing abil-

GRANGE AND UNION
LET FARMERS AND MECHAN-
ICS UNITE.
The Boycott the Means for Defeating
Monopoly - Labor's Interests
Identical with Agricultur.
al Interests Union
Brings Victory.

In the numerous endeavors of or
ganIacd capital to convict workmen
of boycotting they are at the same
time placing the chains upon the
farmers and all, indeed, who are de-
pendent for the success of their bus
mess to amy extent upon the great
railroads. These capitalists are ex-
tremely careful to endeavor to create
the impression that the interests of
farmers and workmen are not ident-
ical, and thus it is that it has taken
so long for the movement which is
now binding the agricultural men to
the mechanics. and leading them
forward to n new era of prosperity
has been so slow in forming. But
the Grange is doing for the farmers
what the Knights of Labor and
trades unions are doing for the work
crs: First, uniting them; then,
educating them; and this education
is the cement that is to cement the
two great divisions of agriculture
and mechanical industry together.
A defeat for the workmcn is de-
feat for the farmers. Take the at-
tempt to make boycotting a crime,
for instance. The Courts in some
cases, in the interest apparently Of
the merchant class, but really in the
interest Of the great monopolies,
have laid down the rule that to bow.
cott y 70 enter INTO i coi.s,.....,,,
and, as there is no law for boycotting,
and there is an Infamous law or set
OF laws for conspiracy, they therefore
use this most convenient piece Of
legislation to prevent the people from
exercising a right to combine for
their own interest. Let this iugglery
succeed, and the farmers, who form
IN immense portion of our popula-
ton, will find that they must not
combine to save themselves from the
cxtortlon Of the railroad monopolies.
Their agitation of such measures as
the "short- haul bill will have more
obstacles placed in it's way than the
mere influence of wealth--they will
have the law to contend with.
Let the Changers become closely
connected with the assemblies and
unions of their natural allies, the
workingmen, and, together, they
need but demand, and they may
have such reforms as will make
them masters of their own interests
instead of the subjects of wealthy in
dlvlduals or corporations.

TAXATION.

Maine farmers complain that their
taxation is excessive. 1t is 40 cents
per 800. They may shift the tax
to occupations, but they will not
escape it. If they tax the merchants
or drummers, the people will pay
when they buy goods; if they tax
lawyers, the people will pay when
they have Il case in court. The oc-
cupation that renders no service-if
such an occupation can be found lis
the only one that can be taxed with
out resulting in the distribution of
the tax upon the general public
GalpestOn Nems.
How does a graduated tax upon
incomes of 81, 900 and upwards strike
our eastern friends ! The larger
income-to pay the higher rate Of tax
