PRINTERS STRIKE.

Last week the Los Angeles printers went on a strike because the proprietors of the papers refused to sign an agree ment to continue the present schedule of prices, viz, 90 cents for morning work and 40 cents for night work for one year. The prices paid now are the same as those in the extrsvsgant days ot the boom with nothing like the patronage to jus tify it. It is we'll for labor unions not to ask teo much. They may lose it all. The following excerpt from an editorial in the Times explains the situation:
 "The only noteworthy event that ac- cured yesterday, in connection with the
 printers strike, was the recedlng or the
 union printers from their unreasonaOle demand that contract maintaining ex, lsting rates, shall be immediately signed
 by the proprietors. They are now will
 ing to % to work without any such con
 tract. This is an admission that they
 have placed themselves ID the wrong. This, however, is not sufficient. The
 printers will have to make several other concessions, before they can be again
 received into the fold.
 The Times intends to maintain It's po- sition m this matter; to assert and nam
 tain its independence. The issue has
 been forced upon us. We have no fight
 against labor unions. Our attitude on
 this question, toward trades unions, has
 been consistent, has been frequently de-
 monstrated and needs DO excuses. Rea-
 sonable self-respect and a regard for our own rights have compelled us to take
 this stand. We are determined to say something about the conduct of our own business-in fact, to remain masters of our own business For some time past the demands of the Los Angeles Typo graphical Union have been growing more and more exacting, until they bordered closely upon tyranny. They had long passed the confines of reason. which dis tinguish the relations between employ CTS and employed in other lines of busi- ness. The last straw was reached when a we'll grounded request for moditica- tion in the present high scale of remu, neratlon was met by an insolent ard peremptory stand and deliver" demand for contract, within twenty-four hours, maintaining existing rates for year. There could be but one result of this high-handed action. unless the proprie- tors were prepared to sacrifice all self respect and, practically, to turn the man apement of their business over to their employees, minus the cares and respon- abilities.
 Somewhere in Shakespeare there is an allusion to the circumstance of two men riding a horse at the same time; Tn which caca ona of tham must perfOrce ride be- hind. In the case in hand, where the
 newspaper proprietors and their em- ployees are supposed to ride the same | horse, The Times henceforth does not propose to be the man who rides behind '

A Scrap of Paper Saved Her
 Life.

It was an ordinary scrap of wrapping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. Kings New Discovery, and got sam pie bottle; it helped her, she bought 2 large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds. For full particulars send stamp to w. H. Cole, druggist, Fort Smith. Trial bottles of this wonderful discovery free at Dr. Martins drug store.

WE are glad to note that the proposed Southern boycott of northern industries in order to prevent the passage of the Federal Election bill, does not meet with the approval of the mass of that brave and chivalrous people Laying the question of the right of that propos- ition, as seem by both parties, aside, the boycott IS an unholy. unpolitic and
 unjust institution. There can be con ditions where Daliff may be shillayed from behind an Irish hedge; or Russian autocrat pom melled on one of his nation steppes, but Irish and Muscovite principles which flourish on their own soil are not adopted to the climate of America. We are boastedly a people of freedom to think and act for ourselves. The boycott is club used to bat this idea out; but it is an instrument loaded at both ende and acts as boomerang. If the South could boycott, so could the north. and it would simply be a question of strength as to who would be the loser. The bet ter class of Southern people are not the people to advocate any such measures.

RECIPROCITY is simply an equal ex- change for mutual good, and is not con trary to the republican tradition of pro tectlon as some of our democratic con- temporaries are led to remark Iecipro- city is free trade where it becomes mu- tually advantageous. But it IS a pro- tected free trade. Exchange with any country whereby products are admitted here which are calculated to cripple home industries, is unwise, hence the admirable system of protection, which the Republican party has fostered, and under which the United States has at tained an era of prosperity unparaled in the annals of nations. When MT Garfield said; 'I favor such protection which leads to ultimate free trade, he uttered the sentiments of majority of his partys< The gosernmeHtef tAs gait HH ed States Ii ss arfaght, andfr De6okess9 ddty, to protect the interests of its own citizens before others as the father of [ family -consults their welfare before the welfare of his neighbors'; and these need not con jet.

A HhNDChASP.

Through tho distance between us stretch my
hand,
The deepening shadows are dun and gray;
will it meet yoir own in some fair dreamland
Whore you \ IN olasp Ii, and understand
MI that longed to sayS
For words ara empty aud life is vain,
The heart grows weary when hope declines
And what avais our bitter pain
To know in n Hweeping cloud of rain
That somewhere the sun still shines7
/ viii play the bars OF q lifting tune,
Let the sadness fade and the smiles begin
OF roses clustering In fragrant June;
But winter withcrs the bloom too soon,
And tho minor chords creep in.
Come, let your footsteps to dreamland stray,
There fate IS vanquished and life is fair,
There the young heart bounds to the coming fray,
And mocts at warning from heads grown gray
And smiles at the brow of care
There will meet you and each shall speak
OF joys that blossom DER lifeNs fair slope,
OF jewels waiting till we shall seek
For faith is mighty though hands arc weak
And dreamland is bright with hope.
But visions fade though we strive to hold
For drcnmands shore is a shifting sand.
Is life the thing that our youth foretoldl
speak no answer, for words are cold;
only stretch out my hand
May Spencer Farrand In Chicago Inter Ocean.

The following account of an affair
which took place at Boston in 1874, il
taken from an old newspaper published
in 1774:
Capt. st. Leo, commander of q war
ship then in Boston harbor, being APP
pretended for walking on the Lords
day, was sentenced by Justice of the
peace 10 pay fine, and on refusing TO
pay had TO sit in the stocks an hour dur
ing the day. While in the stocks the
good people supplied him with much
good advice Is TO his fatuFe conduct on
the Sabbath dag.
After he was released tho captain ex-
pressed regret for his past transgres-
sions, and declared to them that he was
in future resolved to lead a new life.
The saints of Boston were OF course
delighted at his sudden reformation,
and in order that the captain might
still further, profit by their good counsel
many OF them invited him to dinner.
The captain proved TO he q most zeal
Gus aud genuine convert He attended
prayer meetings and showed every out
ward mark Of grace. AT length he was
obliged to put TO sea, but before the
day of departure invited many Of his
spiritual advisers 10 dinner aboard the
vessel, which lay ready in Nantasket
roads.
A capital dinner was provided, at
which many bottles were drai2ed to the
captains health. When theafter-diuner
harmony was At its height, body of
sailors burst into the cabin and seized
the guests. They were dragged on
deck, tied to o grating, and the boat
swain and his assistants administered
the law of Moses in most energetic
manner, the captain meantime assuring
them that the modification of the flesh
tended to the savingof the soul. They
were bundled into their boats and the
captain Immediately set sail
