MRS. PARSONS BOYCOTTED.
She Iucurs tho Dislike of Her Fellow An
archlsts.

She Iucurs tho Dislike of Her Fellow An
archists.
New YORK, March 21.-The popularity
of martyr is not always inherited by his
widow.
A striking illustration of this is afforded
in the case of Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the Indie
Mexican widow Of the late Albert Parsons,
who expired on the gallows in Chicago last
November.
Though no expression to that effect has
been publicly given by the local apostles oi
Anarchy, il is we'll known that their rela
tions are strained with the petticoat ex'
pounder Of revolutionary sentiments. Its
an open secret that where Mrs. Parsons two
years ago had ten enthusiastic admirers in
this city she has a hard time 10 find one
now. The personal dislike 10 "Our Virgin
in Red" as she was named by her follow
ers in Chicago at the time she led q moi
against the new Board of Trade at its in
auguration banquet, is so general rs 10 al
most amount to boycott.
Leading Anarchists charge that she has
persistently and fagrantly abused the eth
les of Ansrchism by her arrogance and
dictatorial manner. They would glos'
over her illiteracy, but not even the kind
est-hearted brother could overlook the fact
that her doctrines tended in the direction
of Kuow-Nothipgism. She despised par
ticularly the German element of the party
though they constitute the majority ant
have been the means of her support to ,
large degree. Hence the lack Of enthusi
asm when a small delegation Of the loca
organization contracted for Mrs. Parson
to come to New York and address q meet
ing at Irving Hall on Thursday evening o
last week.

INDEPENDENT VOTE.
Harper's Weekly INDUCES In Some Pr
dIctions.

Harper's Weekly INDUCES In Some Pre-
dIctiOns.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2l.-Hdr-
pers Weekly, falling into the prophetic
vein, dispoSes of the independent vote at
the next presidential election. 1t divides
the Independents into three classes, con.
tingent, of course, upon the denomination
of President Cleveland by the Democrats
and the nomination of an ''unobjectionable
candidate" by the Republicans. The first
class are more ardent tariff than civil ser
vice reformers, and would support Mr..
Cleveland on the strength of the stand he
has lately tskeuSOn the question of tax
reduction. The second class are those who
consider civil service reform of paramount
importance, and would seize the opportu-
nifty to rebuke Mr.. Cleveland for what they
consider his unfaithfulness TO that cause.
The third are those who would vote TO con-
tinue the present administration, although
not enamOred Of ii, on the principle that 1t
is better to bear the ills we have than fly
to others that we know not of.
How large an influence the independent
vote exerted on the result of 1884 is appre-
ciated by all student of politics. But then
that vote was united. What it can do, now
that it is split, by Mr.. Curtis own admis-
sion, into fragments, no one can tell with
certainty. Everything will depend on
whether it has shrunk in volume in The
meantime, or swelled to such dimensions
that it can offOrd to lose large fraction Of
its bulk without losing its power. 1t makes
little difference, however, for there an
enough Democrats in the country now tC
elect Mr.. Cleveland, without any aid from
the Mugwumps.

Warm Discussion Over the Eight Hour
Law and Labor Bureau.
WAsAIN GToN, March 21.-In the House
Mr. Randall presented resolutions of the
Philadelphia Board of Trade declaring that
the Mills tariff bill, If it should become a
law, would prove injurious to many i'm
portant and long established industries of
the country. Referred.
The House then went into committee Of
the whole on the bill referring to the court
of claims for adjustment the accounts Of
laborers, workmeu and mechanics arising
under the eight hour law.
Mr.. Rogers, OF Arkansas, in opposing
the bill said that it would involve an ex-
pendlture of nearly 500, 900. The
proposition was i'll considered and vicious
in its tendency.
After very warm debate, Mr.. TarsNt Y,
who reported the bill, moved that the COM
mittee rise, stating that his intention was
10 let the bill go over until April 10 in or
Ger that the gentlemen who were shooting
mt a bird they did not see and was not
there, might have anOpportuDity to exam

as TO the merits Of the case than their
speeches to-day indicated them 70 be.
The House then went into a Committee
Of the Whole Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, in
the Chair, on the bill TO establish a De-
! partment of Labor An amendment was
adopted striking out the provision for an
Assistant Commissioner Of Labor. Mr.,

out the clause charging the commissioner
to ascertain whenever industrial change

ing articles at the time dutiable in the
United States in leading countries where
such articles are produced by fully specifi-
ed units of production and under classif-
cation showing the different elements OF
cost, the approximate cost of such articles
OF production. Mr.. Mills, of Texas, Wig
orously opposed the motion. Mr.. Randall
offered an amendment to extend the in.

Gus industries. The amendment was
sdopted.
Mr.. Mills offered an amendment to in

PARKERsBURG, W. VA, March 2l.--
As l predicted in to-day's REG
IsTER, the anti-third party MEM
bers of the Prohibition party caught
onto the trimmer resolutions after the ad-
journment of the Convention. Even some
of the shrewdest political manipulators
failed TO see the gist Of the resolutions,
until later 10 the evening and then they
began TO object, protest. and demur in
tones smacking amply of political flavor.
The heavy, dull pIuuk of the kicker will
now be heard ali ovsr the State, as he sits
on the fence aud explains to his listening
multitudes ths difference between "a
moral' aud political question from q
Republican hustlers' standpoint.
Erprentid dOcet-She do set, and she'll
be spt to hatch out the biggest chunks OF
retribution that ever fell to the lot Of n
chronic politician with an abnormal and
growing appetite for the spOils of office.
Prohibition on 8 sliding scale is the sort
some fellows want. A sort Of prohihitory
tad, and this fact was 80 apparent that the
wiser and really genuine moralists saw it
when they formulated the resolutions.
These latter gentlemen unquestionably
are in earnest in their efforts to carry the
Amendment. With them it is a moral
principle, of more importance than any
political question. and they are conscien-
tious in their determination to regard it as
such from every point of view, it will be
carried with them in political as we'll as
social campaigns notwithstanding the
transparent objection of the politicians.
In my dispatch of yesterday your types
made me say there were but fifteen gentle
men present yesterday at the Prohibition
Convention, when in fact there were about
seventy five present, and that Is the way l
wrote it. Please make the correction.
