Henry Allen, the governors private

right for a small -caliber, smoth. bore
republican, who six months ago was
unknown out side of his native plum

the populist treasurer to use the stamp.

No class of men in the campaign
of 1886 ridiculed the opposition to the
republican party more than did the
commercial travellers. No class is
suffering the grip of the trusts more

gold standard, are decimating the
ranks of the men of the grip about

THAT BOYCOTT.
Gen. Axline May Use the Civil Rights
Law to Break 1t Up.
A Man Refused Medicine at Two Drug
Stores, Although He Was in a Critical
Condition, Because He Had Ridden
on u Big Consolidated Car

CLEVELAND. o., July 3.-Adjt. Gen.
Axline said Tuesday night that he had
found way to smash the boycott as
far as it affected the troops. Every
day since the soldiers arrived they
have been subjected to petty annoy
ances because of the refusal of mer-
chants to sell them necessary supplies.
Gen. Axline pointed out the other day
that these merchants could be pros
ecuted under the civil rights law,
which requires all keepers of inns, res
taurants and places of public amuse-
-nent and accommodation to serve all
people alike. Tuesday Gen. Axline
declared that if any more complaints
against soldiers came to him he would
appoint a judge advocate to proceed
against the merchants and thus seek
to bring them to time.
A prominent physician Tuesday
night gave an instance of the way in
which the boycott is being enforced.
He says he was called to see little
girl who was dying. He was met by
two men who told him he had bet
ter not attend the child as her father
was 'scab." He replied that they
O1ght to serve notice of the boycott on
the Almighty and inform Him that
they would not go to Heaven for the
child would be there in short time.
Monday night a man was refused
medicine at two drug stores, even
though he was in critical condition,
simply because he had ridden on a Big
Consolidated car. The man who was
boycotted says that one of the drug
gists who refused him medicine was
recently saved by him from prosecu-
ton for damages for selling poison to
be used for a criminal purpose, and
| that he afterward endorsed the drug
! gist's notes for con siderable amount.
He made the statement to show that
the druggist was under obligations tO
him and should have been glad to ac'
commodate him by filing the prescrip-
| ton.

EIGHTHOURLAW
Law Permits Work on Government
Work for More Than Eight Hours.
But 1t Is Only in Cases of Extraordinary
EmerSencies-Judge Advocate Gem
eral Lays Down a New Doctrine
in Construction of the Law

WASHINGTON, Aug, 2.-The navy de-
partment has rendered a decision con-
STRUNG the eight hour law that will
be OF Importance to all labor interests
as we'll as to government contractors
The commandant of the Washington
navy yard recently asked authority
from the department to permit
the contractor, who is building the
new gunshops in the yard to employ
his workmen ten hours per day. In
support of this application it was
stated that during the progress of the
work the operation of the machinery
was to be stopped and the floor was be-
ing damaged by exposure to rains.
The judge advocate generals de-
partment has pointed out that the
law permits the employment of work
men on government works for more
than eight hours per day ''only in
case of extraordinary emergency" and
then lays down a new doctrine in tho
construction of this law as follows:
'Inasmuch as the conditions report
ed are such as must have been foreseen
when the contract was made and are
such as necessarily exist to greater
Or less degree which favor work of the
character referred to is in progress,
the department is of the opinion that
the case can not be regarded as one
Of extraordinary emergency.
In cases Of this character it would
appear that if the public property can
not be sufficiently protected from dam
nge otherwise, the proper remedy
would be to employ force of men in
delays by which means the work could
ue expedited much more effectively"
