UNION LABEL NONSENSE.

The union label yagary Is being push
ed 10 absurd extremes. In the deter
mination to accomplish by compulson
thar which they cannot effect by rea-
son and fair measures, the union fam
atics are stirring up feeling Of hos
tlity that win surely result in their
overthrow, If they do not modify their
methods,
Leslie's Weekly OF July q calls at
tentlon to the latest demand of the
union labelers, which appears in the
form of circular letter addressed to
all publishers and engrayers and print
ers Of music, requesting them to put
the union label on all music and all
musical advertising matter, II this
request is not complied with an at
tempt will be made by the union mu-
sicians to enforce the demand by in
structlng all union bands and orches-
tras 10 refuse, after a given time to
play any music which does not bear the
union label. Nothing Is said about
compelling people TO listen to union
label music and musicians, That pa
per reasons on the matter in this way.
"supposng these should refuse, what
then2 Where Is the end of this? II
the composer and the publisher must
tag their music with n union tag, why
not extend the same requirement TO the
poet and his poetry, the romance and
the romanclst? There is always the
fearful possibility that the lyric at least
may be set TO music, and on the prin.
cipe that no guilty non-unionist should
be allowed 10 escape our future Tenny-
sons and Barry Cornwalls. as well as
all the Beethovens and Wagners who
may vet dare 10 live in a unlonized uni
verse. should be compelled 10 Join the
amalgamated society Of tunefUl teeto-
talers or get off the earth"
IT IS just such foolish and arbitrary
schemes as that which are bringing
unionism into disrepute and provoking
resistance against It's encroachments.
IT not only seeks 10 dictate how per-
sons and companies and corporations
shall conduct their business, and whom
they shall employ, but what people
shall eat wear and enjoy while they
live, and be buried in when they die,
1t Is a rising despotsm that viii dig It's
own grave and pave the way into H.,
unless some common sense and common
justice shall be injected into It's
schemes and its counsels.

A NEEDED REFOR VI.

It has often been stated that pro-
family is much more prevalent in the
United States than in European coun-
tries. There are, however, 'cuss words'
in common use among all nations and
many OF them are OF a local character
and peculiar to the people OF each ma
tIonality. The coupling Of the name Of
Deity to common swear words Is heard
oftener In America than IN Europe, and
this makes swearing here more Often
sive than there, But In recent years
II appears that this vile custom has
found it's way across the ocean, and
has been incorporated into English
oaths, so that there is not much choice
between the two nations In this re-
gard. An Illustration Of this given In
tho Pail Mall Gazette.
A story is told of the failure OF a
working man to take passage on a
quick train which he had aimed to
reach, but had been misdlrected by q
porter, and was compelled to take a
slower train In explaining the incl
dent to a companion he found It neces-
Hary. In order to relieve his feelings, to
employ as auxiliaries the following list
OF explosives:
Seventeen adjectives OF a lurid hue
1--WE appeals to the Almighty; two in
Nocauons that his own eyesight might
be- destroyed three inyocatlons re the
eyes OF the official; seven iteratlons OF
the name OF the internal regions; one
side issue, necessitatlng the name Of
the Messiah; seventeen adjectives Of
simple obsoonity four explosives Of an
unclassned nature.
That these were entirely unnecessary
viii be conceded we think, by all rea-
sonabe persons. Vigorous language Is
often allowable particularly when the
feelings Of an individual are wrought
zip into high PRESSURE but this does
not require profanity yulgarity or the
use Of language that shocks the sensi-
bilities of decent people A reform IN
this particular is demanded by the cul-
ture Of the times. II men who have
been In the habit OF interfering the
name OF Deity into animated CONVEX
sation would put check on this un-
pleasant habit and make up their
minds to eliminate those rough express
slons that arc needless, and that are
obnoxious TO refined ears, they would
do much towards purifying the conyer-
sauonal atmosphere and thus aid in a
general advancement In the art Of
llngual communication,
II an old law In this state were to he
enforced, which inflicted fine upon
every person who used profane lam
guage, we think that there would be a
chance for reduction OF taxes for the
support Of the local government We
hope that the time win come when no
gentleman, or one who desires 10 shine
IN that capacity, win think it proper to
curse, and swear and profaue, even
