OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. 9, 1889.
THE BLACKLIST.

An article has been incorporated in
the Constitution OF North Dakota
which prohibits railroad companies
and all other soulless corporations
from keeping a blacklist" of the
men they have discharged. 1t will be
understood by the general reader that
the so called blacklist is an upright
eous device resorted to by large COM
panies to be used as a means OF pun
ishment OF those discharged EN-
ployes who have been direlect in duty,
or who have been guilty of some mis-
demeaner that has rendered them Of
fensive to their employers. OF course,
just enough publicity is given to this
blacklist to hinder the men whose
names it contains from being employed
by other companies. 1t is cruel, I'M
warranted procedure and was prompt
cd more by a revengeful spirit than
anything else. 1t is quite enough for
a wealthy firm to discharge poor day
laborer without publishing his record
to the world. Once q mans name
goes on this blacklist, he is stigma.
tized as a wretch, unworthy the mercy
of contractors or labor agents. Even
employment offices will find him out
and give him the cold-shoulder. En-.
inent jurists have even gone so far as
to denounce the blacklist dodge as
contrary to the principles of common
law and of the rights secured by the
immortal magma charta to every child
of free and sovereign commonwealth
When, in A. D. 1915, King John
gave to the English barons the "Great
Charter" mankind, in civilized coun
tries, took long stride ahead. And
when, in later times, King Henry III
promulgated similar edict to the
common people and it was confirmed
by Edward I, the poorest hind from
that time became freeman and the
master of his own household, though
he dwelt in o hut and was the borr
child of poverty. In the language O.
this great charter, "No man shall b.
deprived of his liberties and free Gus
toms, except by due process of law"
But it is rightly argued that thu
odious blacklist does this very thing
in anticipating a discharged artesan'l
future career by publishing to thu
world that he is unworthy the patron
age of the people with whom he lives
Men may disobey certain arbitrary
rules of company or corporation, b.
discharged therefor, and become /.
faithful man in some other company
or corporation.
An employer on parting with one o
his men through some disagreement
may use his pleasure in giving him .
Recommendation, but he has no RICH
to unduly bias the minds of other EN-
ployers against the man whom he ha
discharged. The general manager o
= popular Eastern railway compan.
has been bold enough to publicly de
clare that the blacklist system is al
outrage and an alleged punishment tina
should not be tolerated. Let the dele
gates Of the Washington Convention
seriously deliberate ON these thing
and provide some adequate remedy
and the future citizens of this Stat
will rise up and call them blessed.

Mr.. VIM. Ragless, of Tenino, has
achieved remarkable record in potato
raising. He lately dug from a single
hill of Vick's Extra Early, 127 distinct
and well-formed potatoes. This was a
fair average of the whole patch, and
indicates a yield that is only possible
in Washington Territory.

OMNIBUS.

snaiA tIuHSS IN themselves, Dut they
portend something more serious. In
the present state of our police sys-
tenn there is anything but an encour-
aging outlook for the owners of prop
erty. House-hreakers and footpads
seem to be having it all to themselves
throughout the length and breadth of
our city, after honest people have gone
to bed.
That there is looseness somewhere
in the nightly custodianship Of Olym-
pia is an unsavory fact. To watch the
block surrounded by Main and Column
bia, Fourth and Fifth streets, an able
bodied man is paid $50 per month by
private parties, and yet burglar had
time and opportunity, last Wednes-
day evening, to pry open two doors in
the rear OF Mr.. Squire's store, situated
about midway on the Main street
front of that block, enter the building.
rifle the money drawer, select some
choice boxes of cigars and then take
his departure. In store situated on
another block, light is left burning
all night, and one of the instructions
of the Waterman who attends to that
block is to look into the store every
half hour, see that the light is all
right and things generally are as they
should be. But that store was bur
81 arized one night this week, the
money-drawer robbed, the light turned
off and the rear door which was found
open had been left ajar. And YET
strange to say, the Waterman did moi
know until he was told in the morning
that the light had been extinguished
in the night. BY means of alleys and
unoccupied ground there is ample op
pOrtunity for a vigilant Waterman
who attends to his business to thread
the passagc-ways of every block in the
business portion of our city, but il
would seem that these paths are un
known and untrodden by the average
night Waterman. It would appear
indeed, that the intricacies of thes,
devious ways were better known to thu
thieving fraternity than to any on,
else.
i The late assaults upon safes and thu
big jewelry steal, speak in tones not t.
be misunderstood that our city is be
set by class of marauders of highel
type than the petty shop-lifter. tt
carry out their nefarious purposes
even more desperate means may be re
sorted to than mere HOUSEKEEPING
Who knows but that we may be OF
the eve of widespread confagration
systematically arranged for the SOLE
purpose of wholesale robbery? We d
not believe in borrowing trouble, ant
although it is recorded in Holy Wri
that, sufficient unto the day is tn
evil thereof" there is a sound philoso
ply in locking the stable door befor

THE BURGH ACROSS THE HILLS

The Spokane Falls Daily Chronicle of
the 29th ult.. puts check upon the hue
and cry raised by Ellcnsburgh over the
almost unanimous recommendation of
the Committee to permanently locate
the State Capital at Olympia by Con
stitutional provision. 1t asks:
Did not the people elect the delegates ia o. to
Olympia and decide on such matters as should be
brought before them: And this being 20. may it
not. In all reasonabeness, be presumed that the
delegates are AS well able to dc, idc on this quc>
ton a. ON that of tide lands, or taxes, Or any
thing else in fact.
Just so. And it is one of the qucs-
tons that it would he the part Of wis
dom to take out OF politics. Ii is, of
necessity, one that the longer it is LETT
undetermined will the more surely en-
gender local hatred, and become the OBJ
lect OF corrupt barter and trade. Very
few of the people OF the Territory, not
residents OF aspiring places for the seat
OF government, care much where it
goes. Railroads have shortened dis
lance and the telegraph annihilated
time, the two considerations that at
one time generally influenced the
selection of locations near to geographi
cal centers.
As the Chronicle intimates, Ellcns.
burgh has got a capital bee in hel
bonnet, and she has got i. bad. She
has thought so much on this subject
dreampt about it, talked OF it, in sea-
son and out of season, that she seem,
to have come to the conclusion thai
she is mistress OF the situation. Sh,
will find herself wofully fooled. Their,
are many other cities whose claims ar,
equal, if not superior to hers, and i
the matter is left to the people t,
decide, the STANDARD predicts she vii
attain the age of Babylon before sh,
attains the coveted honor.

Afraid TO Get Rich.


A rumor IL current In Athens, Ga,
to the effect that there Ia q rock In
Clarke county, about six miles from
town, upon which no man dares to
tread. The superstitious say that
about twenty or twenty five years
ago an old gentleman buried . coffee
pot full OF gold &C the foot Of this
rock and has since died, and when a
man passes that way his ghost appears
and drives him of. Parties passing
near the place have been run more
than q mile by this invisible ghost.
They say that when they come near
the place, even though II be q per-
fectly still day, q noise can be heard
like terrible cyclone, and the tall
pines which surround the rock begin
to bow and many OF them fall TO the
ground. One Sunday two gentlemen
from Athens, who heard the rumors
and doubted them, visited the rock
with the intention of proving the
reports to be false, but they did not
stop long. They climbed to the top
of the rock, when they became
astounded by hearing q terrible crash.
Hardly before they knew it large
pine tumbled to the ground right at
their feet. While an examination of
the tree was being made, which was
twisted from the ground, another fully
as large came down with a crash. The
explorers" then skipped out"
