st. Louis and the Boycott.

railway strike has developed into
boycott remarkable for its viru-
lence and far reaching effect. The
questions involved in the strike
have divided the people of st.
Louis into two distinct factions.
1t is the north and south sections
against the west-the sections peO-
pied by the workers in the shops,
mills and factories against the
professional and mercantile class,
who live in the more exclusive
district of the West end.
The ear lines in the north and
south sections run on schedule
time from morning till midnight,
but do not collect enough fares to
pay for the wear of the tracks. On
all these lines wagons are run by
the Street Railway union. These
and the steam railways OH the riv-
er front carry the former patrons
of the Transit company. There is
no indication of cessation of the
boycott. 1t is II fair estimate to
say that at least 2OO,OOO persons
in st. Louis are boycotting the
Transit company, and this is the
close of the seventh week of the
warfare.
The boycott extends to every
person who patronizcs or assocl-
ates with anybody who rides on a
car, who works for anybody who
rides on Il car, or who is related to
anybody who rides on Il car.
While the company has broken
the backbone of the strike, it has
had to spend many thousands to
do it. Even the strongest friends
of the Transit company conccde
that the road must be unionizcd
in the end. 1t may take six months,
or even year, but the inevitable
will come, they say, and every
body is willing to admit that even
if the present "scabs" remain they
will organize themselves, and the
same old fight will be renewed.
So, ut the beginning of the eighth
week of the strike the company is
apparently the victor, but the vie
tor is depicting its treasury and
depreciating its stock even as it
is dealing Il blow ut organized Ia
Dor.
Thirty-livc hundred men stopped
work when the strike was declared.
About POO of these men have gone
to work and left the union. The
street ear company has succeeded
in importing more than 5000 men,
and is now operating ears day and
night, with owl ears on several
lines.
Here is an estimate of the cost
of the strike:
Loss of life to date, 13.
Number of persons injured, $50.
Number of women stripped, ;.
Loss to strikers in wages, $500
600.
Loss to company in fares, $420,
600.
Loss to company for extra en-
ployes, guards, detectives and
board and lodging for new men,
5000, 600.
Loss to business interests, -
million dollars.
Cost to the city, $500, 900.
One of the results of the paraly-
sis of business incident to this
state of war is growing sentiment
in favor of municipal ownership
of street railways and Il movement
to test the validity of the taw un-
der which the Transit company
holds its franchise, with view to
permitting the expansion of the
rival corporation-the Suburban
with permission to use the tracks
of the Transit company on certain
streets, so as to provide compct-
ton and prevent recurrence of
present conditions.

The secretary of the National Dairy
Union, writes us to correct state
ment that appeared in Vermont pa
per he recently saw, in which the de-
feat of the CIRCUIT bill was deplored.
lie says "the general drift of the ar
ticle showed plainly that there is some
misrepresentation regarding the status
of that bill. The CIRCUIT bill was not
defeated. 1t has thus far won every
point against the tiercest Of opposi-
tion. AS secretary of the organiza-
ton which was actively engaged in
the support OF this measure, desire
to request that this Misrepresentation
be dispelled as far as possible, as such
an idea is liable to discourage our peo-
pie throughout New England. The
fact is that the Grout bill is in the
very best position possible for us, as it
will be acted on Dec. 9Th without fail,
giving us three months in the Senate
at the short session, and we have no
fear of the outcome in the House,
He probably picked up some anti
Grout paper that was so afraid of say
ing anything that could help the
Congressman from this district that
the article was taken by an outsider
and a disinterested reader, as stated
above. 1t is the shame of politics in
this state that partisanship is carried
to such extremes during a political
campaign. Gen. Grout has done good
work for the state in Congress in con-
nection with this bill. Why not be
fair and say so? The opposite course
does not injure him but reacts upon
the candidate such papers support.
The Barre Times stated the case
very fairly yesterday. Some other
papers would do we'll to pursue a like
course.

law of New York The comptroller's fee for the collection of the tax for the state amounts to nearly s20,000. The estate of Mr. Smith had securities in New York valued at s42, ,096, ,970, and the states claim for inheritance tax amounted to s2.036, ,5S2, but by paying the tax within specified time the es- tate procured reduction, paying S1, ,934, 153. The United States govern ment is yet to come in for it's share of the estate to the extent of nearly s5,- 100000. Altogether, the taxes on the Smith property are likely to foot mp close to l2,000, 900, which is rather heavy contribution for a single estate to make to the public treasuries.

 It is an interesting coincidence that Lord Bathurst. who has been selected to command the militia regiment in- trusted with the guardianship of Gen eral Cronje and other Boer prisoners at St. Helena. is the great grandson of that Earl of Bathurst who was the British minister of war when Napoleon was sent to St. Helena. and who was chiefly responsible for the latter's ex- ile and captivity there.

 Walter smith of Bloomvilie, \. r., who suffered from toothache and re- fused to goto a dentist for relief, was twitted by his wife for not having any sand. Smiths anger rose to such a pitch that he resolved upon desperate measures. Procuring yard of stove pipe wire, he fastened one end of it firmly around the deeply rooted tooth in such manner that it could not pull loose and the other end he wired around ramrod. Then, taking down his shotgun, he placed an extra charge of powder in the barrel, rammed the rod home, and, stepping to the door, he cooked the gun and fired it sky ward and opened his mouth. There was loud explosion and tooth and ramrod sailed skyward. Smith has not since been troubled with a toothache.

Growth of the Button Industry.

The shell or button industry on the
upper Mississippi river, according to
the Savanna Qlls) Times, is growing
to enormous proportions. The crew OF
the General Barnard have had occa-
sion to observe this. They report that
on their down trip between Lacrosse,
Wis, and Clarkesville, Mo-, they count
ed 1.627 men and women in the main
channel of the river engaged in getting
out shells from the stream. About q
year ago they counted only 716. OF
course there are a great many in the
sloughs behind the islands, etc, that
were not counted. They estimate that
no less than 5000 people earn living
gathering shells. Just below Dubuque
120 were counted in one batch. Button
factories have been established in ev-
cry town along the river, and in Mus
catine there are %. Five or six steam
boats of 100 tons capacity do nothing
else but tow shells.

Woodmen Notes,

An analysis of the history of the
206 claims, aggregating 1881, OG0
ordered paid at the October session Of
the board of directors, reveals the fac
that 142 of them were in the society
less than five years, as the following
table will show: Died in first year, So;
second year, "a; third year, 80; fourth
year, 10; fifth year, %; total. 142.
Here is where scaling plan would
count in favor of the society and
against the ''short termers.' There
were an unusual mum Der of accident
claims in October. SO in all, and there
were four suicides, all inside of five
years.
T. A. Torrance, who held mem ber-
ship in Camp No. 290, Beatrice, Neb.,
and resided at Galveston, Texas. was
reported by the postmaster at Calves
ton as having lost his life in the great
storm. The camp clerk at Beatrice,
however, reports that Torrance is alive
and we'll, but says that he is the only
survivor of his family and that he
lost everything he had. This was the
only report of death the Woodmen
society had from Galveston, as a re-
suit of the storm.
