agement of the public schools, and de-
livered the following we'll deserved re-
buke:
Whereas, President Charles w. Elliott
of Harvard University, in very re-
cent address, deprecated the election
to the school board of so many men,
bers who were not property hlders and
taxpayers, holding that it was not to be
expected that better results could be
achieved in the public schools under
these conditions; and
Whereas, The daily press reports that
the students of Harvard University did,
on last evening, violate the laws of the
city and commonwealth, destroy pro-
perty, abuse and maltreat dumb ami
mails insult decent people and commit
assault and battery upon wage-earners
engaged in the performance of their
duty; therefore
Resolved, That we, the delegates to
the Boston Central Labor Union, re-
speetfully call the attention of Presi-
dent Elliott and the public authorities
to the standard of action thus set by
the sons of rich men, and ask candid
public to say what would have been the
verdict passed upon these acts had the
same been committed by non-property
holding trade unionists, instead of by
the callow and strnuous youth of the
leading university of America.

CONVICT LABOR.

The convicts of the State of New
Hampshire are employed by contract
at forty cents per day making chairs.
We suppose the good people of New
Hampshire would not approve of feed
ing, clothing and sheltering a convict
and then furnishing him to a contract
or at forty cents per day, and further
providing factory building in which
to employ him, if they realized the
damage they were doing Indirectly to
free labor.
1t strikes us that one sure way to in
crease the number of criminals is for
the state to deprive law abiding citi-
zens of work and give employment to
the convicts.
This falls far short of the ideal OBJ
jects of government but seems to salts
fy those whose whole idea of progress is
measured by cent per cent.
Sooner or later however, the general
public will realize that they have an
interest in the matter and then the
competition of convict labor will be a
thing of the past.

THE POTENT BOYCOTT.

In the struggle for better existence
there is a great difference in opinion
as to what is wanted. When after al
most endless discussion, certain OBJ
ject is seen to be desirable, new dis
cussion springs up. How can it be
gained? Are there several ways, and
which is the quickest? Oppression
must be resisted. What is the most eff
fective weapon Of resistance? To my
mind passive resistance is the greatest
when the fight is a defensive one and
the boycott is the best when we must
take the initiative. Neither is3 appreci-
ated as it should be, because it's merits
have not been sufficiently considered.
Boycotting is looked upon very much
like club or pistol. Courts pronounce
it illegal and boycotters are imprisoned.
When the plea is made for their release
it is Oftener on the ground that they
were working for good object than
that they had perfect right to boy
colt as often and as long as they pleas
ed. Thus do boycotters often weaken
their case, where, if the stood out bold
ly, it would hasten their recognition.
The unpopularity Of the boycott rests
on confusion of thought regarding the
rights of the individual. If we say only
those actions should be punished as
crimes which are infringements on the
rights Of individuals, we see instantly
that the boycott is not all infringement
and therefore no crime. There is there
fore no such thing as an unjustifiable
boycott. It can only be wise or foolish,
On ethical grounds no fault can be
found with it. Then it is only neces-
sary to consider it from the standpoint
Of expediency. Since the idea of equal
rights is not always admitted as a test.
it will be we'll to examine the objections
to boycotting in detail. This one is Oft
en- made. mo one has the right to
| threaten This sounds plausible and
silences many boycotter ON the hear
| ing of it. But why has not a man the
| right to threaten? The answer to this
depends on what the threat is, for a
man has the right to threaten what he
has right to do. The threat is wrong
when the act threatened is wrong, not
otherwise.
If 1 stop buying groceries of a GER
tain firm, I am within my rights in so
doing. To deny this means L must al
ways buy of one grocer. My neighbor
also has the right to stop. We are not
moving out Of our sphere when we
transfer our patronage to some one
else, and we can tell the grocer so if
we wish. On the other hand, we need
give no reason. We can quit for any
