Chicago dispatches of the 9th state
The boycott against the Pullman cars,
which began at noon yesterday, assumed
alarming proportions last night, owing
to the strike of the freight switchmen,
400 in number, on the Illinois Central,
which has resulted in the tying up of
thirteen trains at Grand Crossing, on
Seventy-second ST., nine of these being on
the Illinois Central and four on the Chi
cago, Pittsburg and Fort Wayne division
of the Pennsylvania road.
Other roads cross at this point, the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern being
one of them, but the trains on the latter
are carrying nothing but Wagner sleep
ing cars.
1t is generally understood that the pas
ssnger switchmen ON the Illinois Central
will go out to-day, in which case the en-
tire will be tied up, as it will then be an
impossibility for trains to enter or leave
the city on that line. This proved to be
the fact, Wednesday,.
From the developments OF last night 1T
is believed that the greatest boycottin the
history of American railroads has been
inaugurated. for it has shown that the
American Railway Union has more
strength, power and influence than has
heretofore been supposed.
| This is the first great strike in which
the Pullman sleeping and palace car com

5000 palace cars in all parts of the coun-
try,lbas ever been involved. 1t is griev.
ance strike. The $500 employees of the
town of Pullman struck against reduc-
ton of twenty to forty per cent. in wages.
The pay rolls were nearly $1,000 day.
The Pullman company claimed that they
were running the car shops at loss, and
offered to show their books. The strik-
ers refused to examine the books, but
asked for arbitration. This the company
refused.
The railroads involved, aside from the
above named, the Northern, Union and
Southern Pacific lines, the Wisconsin
Central, the Santa Fe, and the Great
Northern, have taken vigorous measures
to protect themselves. Employees belong
ing to the American Railway Union are
being discharged, and the presidents of
these lines say that with thousands of
railroad men out of work, there will be
no trouble in filling the strikers places.

VERMONT MUST KEEP AHEAD.

The Vermont Republicans, in the
State convention they held last week,
followed the advice of the Union general
who, at the beginning of an important
battle in the war of the rebellion, gave
his command: "Put the Vermonters
ahead and keep the column closed up"
1t named for governor and lieutenant
governor two Union colonies, both of
whom lost an arm in helping to save
their country And when the voters go to
the polls in September to elect these two
Vermonters who are at the front again
they will doubtless keep the Republican
column closed up and roll up majority
that will wake the echoes in the Green
Mountains. Two congressman are to be
elected and the Republicans should see
that their candidates receive the most
emphatic majorities that it is possible to
give. Vermont has always been known
for its big Republican majorities, but
this is year of big majorities all over,
and Vermont will have to "hump'' her
self if she expects to hold her old rank.

The Richest Woman in America.

Mrs. Hetty Green, formerly of Bel
lows Falls and vicinity, has been written
up ION Broadway" in the Metropolis,
recently, as follows: Nobody knows her
except the colored bank porter, who
keeps a sharp lookout when she is about
due, and a small, stubby man, saunter-
ing under the trees of City Hall Park
and chirping aimlessly to the sparrows,
She comes up Broadway with sharp,
quick stride, long for woman, glanCing
only once to the right at the idle man
opposite (who is sore burden to her,
as foolish expense, and is, in fact de-
tective and her personal body guard,
supplied by her son. and once farther
ahead, at the Stewart building, of which
she owns $4,000, 900 worth, before
marching up The steps of the Chemical
Bank, to disappear inside. Her decent
black dress hangs in folds from her an
gular figure, and its short skirt comes
above her ankles. She carries a small
bag of cloth and leather, and is the rich
est woman in America-rated at SAC, 000,-
600 now-and as spry as boy and as
sharp as a knife. She lives chiefly to die
worth 800, 100000 and is likely to if she
can keep on avoiding the payment of
taxes proportional to her property.
Her lodgings are as much of secret to
the world as her plans, and she rejoices
in her obscurity; for she is on the way
between Wall and Chambers streets a
dozen times day, and not dozen peO-
pie know her. She never rides in a
horse car when she can help it, and
never reads for relaxation. She is Mrs.
Hetty Green. Perhaps her first name is
Mehetabel.

would go step farther and give up the
whole Democratic tariff scheme it would
be the wisest move they ever made.
Vermont has two colonies on her
Republican State ticket, which is the one
that always wins. They are Colonel
Woodbury. of Burlington for governor
and Colonel Mansur of Island Pond for
lieutenant governor And they are not
Kentucky colonies either, for each has
worn an empty sleeve ever since the war.
There has been no attempt at revival
of war memories except in isolated cases
at Che South, but this seems to be vet

1t is said that there was never a
time in the history of the country when
the banks held as much money as now.
And yet, when printer wants to borrow
five dollars to get G. o. D. bundle of
stock out of the express office he has to
execute seven different sets of papers
with nine indorsers on each one, give a
blanket mortgage on his outfit and allow
the cashier to run the paperl-Hardwick
Gazette.
We shall not be surprised to find
that the action of Miss Susan B. Anthony
and Rev. Anna Shaw in swallowing the
the whole vaguriOus program of the Pop
ulist party of Kansas, in exchange for its
declaration in favor of woman suffrage,
should prove the worst setback this
growing cause has had in the last 20
years. 1t was a simple and absolute
deal, and it was entirely gratuitous,
There was not the shadow of excuse or
even of palliation for it.-Springfeld Re-
publican.
Next to its historic and overshadow-
ing idiocy in 1864 when it solemnly pro-
nounced the war a failure after the
events at Gettysburg and Vicksburg had
distinctly assured the success of the
Union cause, the Democratic party has
done nothing quite so stupendously
foolish as to choose time like the pres
ent to levy an income tax. 1t is like
trying to make the country prosperous
by increasing it's burdens.
