A Pill r0nRAnY

William Dean Howells, America S
leading author, declares this country
is a plutocracy. "The tramps" he
says, with fine sarcasm, "walk the
land like the squalid spectres of the
laborers who once titled it. The min
ers have swarmed up ont of their pits
to starve in the open air I'm our par
adise of toll myriads of workingmen
want work the water is shut off in
the factory; the fires are cold in the
foundries The public domain where
in some sort the poor might have pro-
vided themselves, has been lavished
upon corporations, and its millions Of
acres have melted away as if they
had been like an area of summer
clouds. 1t is true that we still have
trusts, the syndicates, the combina-
tons of roads, mines and markets,
and the whole apparatus. If there Is
such cold and hunger, the price of
food and fuel is yet so high as to af-
ford a margin to the operators in
coal and grain and meat. The great
fortunes, in almost undiminished
splendor, remain the monuments of
Il victory that would otherwise look
good deal like defeat, and they
will be an incentive to the young in
the hour of our returning prosper
ity"
1t is gratifying to note that new
school of authors are raising up in
the country who are sensible of the
condition into which a grand nation
is daily drifting deeper and deeper
Men of literature of the standard of
Mr.. Howells are originators of ideas
and leaders of thought, The evolu-
tons of their intellect command the
consideration of millions, and when
they bend their great thoughts to-
ward reformed and bettered condi-
tons, national sentiment slowly but
surely follows.

THE BOYCOTT.

There is no pest of weeds that
needs to be so thoroughly eXtermi-
mated at any cost, no plague of for
eign origin that should be so ruthless
ly stamped out at quarantine, as that
infamous exotic which is called the
boycott. AS the civilized world has
agreed that to kill by poison is not
legitimate in the bitterest warfare, SO
must civilized men, when they regain
their senses, consent to Danish the
boycott from the list of instruments
with which labor IS to assert its rights.
For life must become simply intol-
cradle wherever it is admitted that
the boycott can be resorted to in an
extremity or for any cause. 1t is an
tagonistc to the existence Of human
society. 1t means the seclusion of
the person against whom it is direct
ed from every comfort and every ne
cessity of life as elrectually as any of
the ancient curses of the church. In
deed, there is nothing that boycott
50 much resembles as one of the bulls
of accommodation in vogue in an
other age, by which the victim was
cut off from all communication with
his kind, and by which they were
forbidden to offer him food or shelter
or to succor him in any peril.
The doctrine of the boycott is that
no one except the boycotter has a
right to opinions or to life itself.
And boycott breeds boycott as inevi-
tably as vermin accumulate where
they are allowed to remain unmolest-
ed. This is the very worst feature
of the present disturbance. In a
strike there is a definite issue, with
two sides to it, however weak one
may be. Discussion RACES over the
issue, and personal vindictiveness
takes second place. But boycott
stirs all the bad blood, all the worst
passions that are in man. He is
engaged in guerilla warefare, and
he knows it; and the longer he fails
to coerce his enemy the more unre-
strained grows his passion. Walla

THE OFFICE AFTER THE MAN.


The most amusing thing we have
noted of late in political circles is the
wild and frantic chase of the office
after the man. This is particularly
noticeable among the "Pops' if not
wholly confined to their ranks. We
have heard it announced from the
stump, demanded by resolutions, ad-
vocated by the public press, told at
the Preside, and in fact by every 9th
er means have been made to believe
that it was one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the great party of reform(O
that the office must in all cases seek
the man, and not the man, the office.
But how is it this year? In look
ing over the columns of the Peoples
party organ of this county we notice
several familiar names, who, of course,
are not seeking office, but are an
nouncing themselves in order that
the office, in its frantic efforts to To-
cate an incumbent, may know where
to cast its optics.
The Citizens editor, who by the
way, has an idea that a legislative
seat had as well be warmed by him
self as any other patriotic citizen Of
the county, does not seem to be adj
verse to the announcement scheme,
but on the other hand encourages or
rather demands it, He goes so far
as to intimate that if an applicant for
place and power does not herald his
name before the public as willing
victim, that he ought not to be coun-
tenanccd at The convention. Now
this seems to be rather a harsh iudp-
ment to render against those who,
willing enough to sacrifice themselves
on the public alter, are financially
unable to meet the printers demands
of five dollars for a card This course
would seem to refute the old maxim,
that 'poverty is no crime. "
We are of the opinion that no coun-
ty in this state is over stocked with
lirst-cla material for public servants,
and, that in selecting them none but
the best should be taken. Therefore
we are led to the logical conclusion
that it discs not follow, that because
a man has a V in his pocket and is
willing to blow it in sailing his coors
in the columns of newspaper, that
he is the only iit person for public
place. By no means is such the case;
for there are plenty of men in this
and other counties, and among them
are to be found the very best materi-
al we have, who would never con
sent to become candidate for any
office where the conditions required
that they must toot their horns by
means of public advertisement in
order to secure nomination.
We have no objection to a candi-
date advertising himself as such,
neither do we condemn the practice,
but we do heartily condemn the plan
of coercion adopted by our reform
neighbor, the Citizen, and more es-
pecially so since. it represents the
principles of the party which at all
times has in stentorian tones declared
that the "oflice must seek the man. "
Public Office is snap, and he
who hath it hath good thing, but
he who seeketh it and findeth it not
reapeth the whirlwind

WILKINSON,S VIEWS

People must not fall into the error
of supposing that all labor organiza-
tons were in sympathy with the strike
of the American Railway union.
Perhaps the strongest utterance
against the late strike is that of Grand
Master Wilkinson, of the Brotherhood
of Trainmen. Its vigorous, sensible,
and to the point, Here are few
extracts, giving Mr. Wilkinson's view
of the Debs strike:
"lt is fruitless and hopeless
struggle
"The fight is as much against the old
organization as against the railway
managers.
"Mr Debs knows that he is wrong
when he declares that the General
Managers association espouses the
cause of Pullman.
'If a business contract is not sacred
between railway company and car
company, would any contract that
Mr. Debs organization might secure
with the railroads be more sacred2"
"The great strength of the old
brotherhoods has been the inviola-
bility of contracts, BY taking part
in this strike we would forfeit all we
have gained and secure nothing"
"The triumph of this railroad strike
would be the triumph of anarchy"
'Instead of being struggle for
the supremacy of organized labor,
this strike is a terrible blow at work
ingmen's unions.
"The termination of this strike
will demonstrate the fallacy and in
efficiency of sympathetic strikes
They are wrong, misconceived and
cannot win
And there are thousands of think
ing, conservative men in all labor or
carnations who feel exactly as does
Grand Master Wilkinson. 1t is un-
just to judge them all by the frothy
and anarchistic utterances of the dem
agogic element, which always forces
itself into prominence in times Of
trouble.
