reported in our Legislature. We appre-
ciate the difficulties surrounding this
subject Of legislation, but it does seem to
ms that it is high time some definite
action should be taken. There is little
probability Of an an agreement being
reached, between Democratic Executive
and Republican Legislature, especially
in view of former experience with Gov
ernor Pattison but an effort should be
made, and if failure follows, the public
will be enable TO make up its mind as TO

was told to Pittsburg reporter by q
railway passenger: "Nct long ago the
ex-Copfedera commander had occa-
sion to make trip through certain
portion of the South, and boarded a
sleeping car without a berth ticket.
When the conductor called for his

was s. note upon which was en-
Kra~ed portrait Of General Grant.

MUTUALLY DISAPPOINTED.

Too Eager Reporter.
Newspaper reporters like other people
jump at conclusions sometimes. Whom
Tho recent brick boycott began in this
city, says tho New York Tribune, one
of thom rushed into tho Astor House
and said hurricdly to tho clerk: 'In
what room are the brick manufacturers
mcoting?"
"Parlor f." said tho busy clerk with
out looking up.
. The door of Parlor + was open, and
tho reporter, unwilling perhaps to give
trouble to anybody, did not stop to
knock. but walked in, saying: Il sup
pose this is public meeting, gentle
mon? ! represent tho Howlor, and OF
course we want only trustworthy news,
so l havo come to headquarters for it."
Several plosperous-looking men were
sitting about tho room, and one, who was
1T tho head OF q big table evidently act
ing as chairman, said pleasantly: cal
ways glad to see reporter. Como in
Tho public ought to hear about this
thing. and the Howler is just the paper
would like to see publish it,"
This was delightful. Capitalists don't
often talk that way. They, in fact, arc
sometimes averse to making their pri-
rate business public, and the reporter
had visions Of a column or two of solid
inside facts with the names of weighty
men to indorse them.
But it would not do to look his ioy,
so he replied, calmly: eff you'll givo
mo tho facts, gentlemen, without re-
serve you will see them in print to-mor-
row. People who only give reporters
half the truth are tho first ones to COM
plain OF incomplete reports the next
day. Now, briefly, how many manu-
facturers are involved? How many brick
do they turn out n year? Is your organ
ization perfected2 How much capital
do you represent? When did tho trouble
arise and how? Are you determined to
fight it out to the bitter end? How long

chairman. Boycott! What boycott?
