The boycott has been decided to be
illegal in the State OF New York by the
highest court as applied to non-union
laborer, holding that no organization
has n right to insist on the discharge OF
an Objectionable workman or prevent
him from obtaining work elsewhere.
"This," says the New York Tribune,
"is wholesome and satisfactory deci-
sion. Five members of the knights OF
Labor were arrested on a charge Of con-
spiracy in the case OF HART, n shoe
makor who refused to join in strike,
whose discharge they secured, and
whom they prevented from getting
work in other shops. The accused men
secured writs Of haboas corpus. Justice
Barrett and the General Term OF the
Supreme Court in turn dismissed the
writs, and these two decisions have
been confirmed by the Court Of Appeals.
The five defendants will soon be brought
to trial. Such IN example should be
made of them as will put an end to this
species of boycotting, In asimilar case
in California, recently, where damages
were sought by the victim of like con-
spiracy, it was held by the Judge that
there was no ground OF action"

A Model JonrnnlIst.

The editorials of the Grafton Times
are fearfully and wonderfully construct
cd. Its editor is gifted with genius for
putting together high sounding phrases
and words, without regard to their mean
ing and photography. The following is
a sample OF one OF his most moderate
utterances:
at is merry hell with the minions OF
monopoly at Chicago this week, but it
will be black despair, blue ruin, and
utter and eternal destruction to the Re-
publican party of sectional prejudice,
prescription, perfdy, corruption and
crime in November. Under another
name and guise it will confront the
American people in 1892. But the grand
old Democratic party Of the people, by
whose wisdom and genius our country
was created, our constitution framed, and
the republic dedicated to liberty and
Justice, is rs understandable as matter,
and rs eternal rs the ordinances Of
God"
And here Is another pyrotechnic
display:
"Never has Chicago, even in her wild
and eventful history, been treated TO
such an abandoned can-can performance
us is furnished by the Republican con-
vention now in session in that city. OH
mOdesty, where is thy blush?"

The hypocritical conduct Of the st.
Louis convention in complimenting Cen
eral Sheridan so highly has caused some
disguised patriot TO go back few years
to ascertain the real sentiment Of the
leaders OF that party toward Little
Phil" Now they send him a compile
ment addressed "To the distinguished
patriot whose noble and valiant deeds
will ever be enshrined in the hearts OF
his countrymen." Only twelve years
ago, when those mobile and valiant
deeds were iresherin "the hearts oil his
countrymen" than they are now, they
denounced him on the floor OF the
United States Senate as miscreanti" not
fit to breathe the free air Of the Re-
public"
What was the ofTense of this faithful
officer and gallant defender OF the flag
that he should be thus assailed! He
had denounced the murderous White
Leaguers OF Louisiana as "banditti."
These red-handed conspirators had as.
sassinated blacks by thousands to make
Louisiana Democratic State, and Sher.
idan, appalled, at the wholesale slaugh'
ter, had characterized the assassins in
fitting terms.
He was not without his defenders in
the Senate and before the whole coun
try. The great volunteer soldier, Gen
eral Logan, held the floor for two days
in defense OF his comrade. In the COURSE
OF his speech he said:
"ThC DemOcracyin this chamber have
denounced Sheridan more, since his dis
patch was published, than they ever de
nOunCed JEFF Davis and the whole re
bellion during four years Of war agains
the Constitution Of this country. You
extreme wrath is aroused ut Genera
Sheridan because he called these whit,
leaCues 'banditti.' II the murder o
$500 men in short time for politica
purposes by gang OF men banded to
gcther for the purpose OF murder doe
not make them 'banditti, what does /
make them? Oh, what u crime it is il
Sheridan to say these men were bandit
tir He is wretch that according t,
your newspapers ought TO be hanged t.
a lamp.post; that according 10 your Sen
atOrs is not fit to breathe the free mir o
heaven or OF this Republic"
How many men were in the st. Loui
Convention who would vote for this dis
tinguhhed patriot whose noble ant
valiant deeds they profess to admire
There is not one OF them who would no
prefer the non-combatant Cleveland AM
the Copperhcad Thurman to the patriot
Phil Sheridan. These two opinions o
the same man are sadly discOrdant, an,
only bespeak Democratic hypocrisy AM
sham.

The New York Pres in these days is
very instructive on the tariff. 1t reads
u lesson on farm wages which makes
very entertaining reading in these days.
1t says:
The farmer OF this country pays Q
higher rate Of wages than is paid in any
other nation in the world. The average
for several years, u period since the re-
turn Of specie payments, has been very
close to 500 per annum. This includes
negro labor. In the Eastern States it is
S3l2; in the West, 1867; in California,
$3.50; it is most where labor has its
greatest diversifcation and highest skill,
and therefore where demand and COM
petition are greatest. So, OF course, it is
lower in Virginia, $l67 per annum;
lower still in South Carolina, $l47.
The antipodes Of America, geographic
cally, industrially, politically, is good
Empress Victoria's domain Of India and
the rate OF agricultural wages there is
said TO average $50 per annum. Shall
we go to China for lower wages, or will
this rate suffice for those who would seek
labor in its cheapest markets? But poor
India, agricultural and little else in pro-
ductive industry, cannot now afford to
pay more.
European and South American M.
tons range between these extremes OF
wages, paying what the products and
profits OF farmers afford, just Us our
farmers, the richest and most independ.
ent OF their class, pay highest of all, he.
cause they are the most prosperous. II
is interesting to note the effect Of the
monetary depression OF few years age
on farm wages. In 1869 the paper dol
lar went at considerable discount and
wages were nominally high; in 1877.
money had just reached par with gold
after five years OF disaster and enforced
idleness OF the labor; in 1888 labor il
slightly higher than the value in gold o
the wages OF 1869. The statement o
average wages per month is as follows

"Thcy are all good men, and any one OF
them will win II nominated. I'll be glad
to fight for tho party under any one OF

Such were tho words Of James G.
Blaine, Americas greatest statesman,
when he heard the news OF the tirst bal
lot ut Chicago in Scotland. Ii Blaine is
not nominated those who are fighting so
strongly for himmust beappeased in their
disappointment, in the words quoted
above. 1t is grand and patriotic ex-
preston. Whoever are the candidates
OF the Republican party may rely on the
active support OF Blaine, and they may
rest assured that it will not be u milk
and water support. When he takes the
stump the Republican party will grow in
nerve, aggressivcness and enthusiasm.
The vital issue is tariff, and when he
speaks the free trade oraclcs will be

No reference to the labors of the Re-
publican National Convention is in
tended by the above heading. 1t has to
do simply with the regular opening OF
the sea sepent season, which has just
been accomplished-we regret to say
with less literary skill than usual
through the medium of Boston dis
patch. This year the first view of the
sea serpent has been had by Captain
Traut and Chief Officer Muir, OF the Le-
land Line steamship VenetiA. The de-
scription OF the creature, as taken from
these gallant seamen, however, reads
rather tamely. Mr.. Muir said to a re-
porter: | saw large round body that
showed Just above tho surface. l
brought the long glass to bear and dis.
tinctly saw rough, scaly skin that could
have belonged to nothing else
than sea serpent. l called the
captains attention, and he saw it also,
but while he was reaching for the dou.
BILE glass to see better the serpent sank
out OF sight. We both saw him plainly,
and saw about thirty or forty feet Of the
body. The head and tail were under
water" This is not satisfactory. Too
much room is left for the malevolent
suggestion that the Venetia's sca-ser.
pent was a log. A wet log with the
bark on would at some distance look
like q trough and scaly skim" And
then the failure to see either a head OF
tail is suspicious. Logs do not usu-
ally have heads or tails, and cannot
therefore be expected to show them,
but everybody knows that your genu-
inc sea.serpent makes great play with
his head.
In all the best class OF sea serpent
visions the monster is represented as
rearing proudly aloft n head never
smaller than hogshead, decorated with
eyes which ought to be at least the size
OF cheese-plates, and further adorned
according to the taste and discretion OF
the observer-with q flowing name,
horns, spinesand such like excrescences.
OF yore the sea serpent was apt to ad'
vance his horrent crest, swim up along
side the vessel whence he was being
iearfully observed, and bring his cheese
plate optics to bear upon the crew with
a tishy glare. This action generally de-
moaiized all hands so lady that they
broke into the spirit-room, and by the
time they were sober again their
ideas concerning the sea serpent were
somewhat confused. In later times the
head OF the great snake has been seen
in more Of an anti-saloon aspect, but it
is to be noted that watering the seaman's
grog has not abolished the maritime i'm
agination nor prepared an eXacting pub
lie to be satisfied with n headless and
taillCss serpent, whose sole means Of
identification is n rough and scaly skin.
Captain Traut and Chief Officer Muir
win have to try again. Nothing less
than well defined head will answer
the general expectations, and il they
could garnish the jaws with triple row
OF serrated teeth, and clap barbed tail
on the creatures latter end, the picture
would be at once more seAsonable and
artistic.

Every candidate has his own method
Of elcctioneering. But itsecms that the
Democratic candidates for Sheriff pur.
sued only one course to influence votes
for their delegates, and that was lavish
disponsation of beer. 1t is reported that
not less than three thousand kegs of
the amber fluid were used during the
campaign, not counting the amount
drank over the various bars. 1t is GER
tainly queer commentary on Ameri-
can politics that candidate to be sue
cessful must cater to this demand. But,
after all, it is the fault Of the candidates
themselves. When one furnishes beer
to every boat-house club and socia,
organization the Others are compelled
to follow suit in ordenfo countcract the
influence. II a compact was entered
Into between the candidates the evil
would be stopped. Besides being a
drain upon the pocketbooks ofthe candi-
dates the custom results in very little
good. The man or men who will solicit
beer as the price for their votes are not
trustworthy adherents to tho cause they
promise to champion. 1t is the last
glass Of beer poured down their threats

sive is reduced one-half to secure the

company propose to avoid this trouble
by returningto the old smooth-bore can
non, and at the same time to secure the
necessary range by the increased power
OF their explosive. This new gun they
expect to throw n dynamite shell as far

The reduction was quickest and heav-
lest in the East and Middle States, MS
factories shut down and operatives went
into the country to compete with farm
labor. The "hard times" continued, the
Eastern labor began to overflow West
ward, the Eastern demand for Western
products declined and the Western
farmer began to yield to the pressure OF
the monetary grind. So Western labor
went down, though still not so low as
Eastern. 1t is u valuable lesson, and
points u moral that might be further ex-
pandCd and applied.
