VICTOR MURDOCK's WORK.

Prior to starting home from Washing
ton few days ago TO do a few stunts as
-chatoria1 candidate, Victor Murdoch
left behind him something for the post
office department to think about Mr..
Murdoch has been somewhat busy since
congress has opened and he has made
the whole county sit up and take notice.
Following up his speech showing up
tt. graft in the weighing system
whereby the railroads profit to the ex-
tent of several million dollars a year.
Mr.. Murdoch introduced a resolution in
the lower house of congress declaring
that the New York Central railroad
should refund the $257, 900 which it is al
legged to have overchargcl the govern
ment for carrying the mails, and calling
on the postmaster general for vertical
t.cl of his statements regarding the
mail-weighing system.
After introducing his resolution. Mr.
Murdoch said that the postoffice and
post roads committee of the house was
determined to get positive Information
from the postoffice department as to
how it arrived at the basis of payment
for the carrying of mails by railways.
For several years, he said, this informa-
ton has been sought unsuccessfu1iy, but
tat he il -ow determined to sift the
matter thoroughly.
His resolution reads: THE government
is paying SAG, S25, 1874 currently for the
carriage of the mail on railways. 1t is
reported that there is a payment Of 10
Der. cent in excess of the amount which
would be paid under existing law If the
for obtaining the daily aver
age weight of mail were made with the
whole number of days in the weighing
period used as a divisor. instead of the
whole number of days exclusive Of Sun
day.
1T is reported that upon the New
York-Buffalo route, of the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
company there is under existing con-
tracts an annual payment of $257.0O in
excess. Of a sum which would have been
paid IL the number of Sundays had not
heen subtracted from the divisor in the
conputation to obtain the average daily
weight. If the computation has been
enormously made restitution Of these
amounts in overpayment should be
made"
The resolution then goes on to ask de-
tailed information of the postmaster
general as to the method of Weighing
and whether a system costly TO the gov
eminent has been in force.
Congressman Murdoch is liable to get
himself disliked by the interests II ne
does much of that sort of thing.

other city. but If there is to be a Semi
centennial, Topeka is the place for It.
Topeka has advantages in railway and
street car service not possessed by any
other Kansas town. If the people of
Topeka, who expect to derive the great
est benefit from the show. viii get busy
and convince the public that they don't
want the state to pay the entire bill,
much Of the prejudice now felt will be
removed The legislature should de-
eide the Semicentennial question who'll
ly on its merits. A million dollars is
lot Of money, but If a big fair will
do Kansas as much good as the Oma-
ha exposition did Nebraska, it will be
money we'll spent" AS a matter of
fact, when the Semieentennial idea is
considered solely as a business propo-
sition for the state. as it should be, the
opposition to it largely melts away

THE NIETHODIsT BOYCOTT.

The action of certain leaders OF Hi
nois labor unionists in attempting d
bovcott on the Methodist Episcopal
church and its adherents and friends
win cause some surprise, as It was an
nounced by the labor unionists some
+iron ago that they had won their strike
against the Methodist publishing
houses. and it was supposed that the
publishers and their striking printers
had reached an agreement. Concerning
This latest move of the labor leaders
the Chicago Inter-Ocean has this sensl-
BILE and enlightening statement;
According to the leaders IN TINS
movement. the boycott is not to be
confined to the Industrial activities Of
the church. Business and professional
men who contribute to the support Of
the church's spiritual activities are to
he mt on the unfair list. Presuma-
NV II a man attends Methodist ser
vices. or his children go to Methodist
Sunday school, he IS to be boycotted-
The beginning of the quarrel was
the demand of the printers for an eight
hour work day in the church's publish
ing houses. AS a reduction of hours
and product, without the lowering OF
wages. would affect the cost Of pro-
ducirg the books materially, 1t was
felt by the managers that the demand
could not be granted at once. So the
printers struck and their places were
filled.
Later there came a time when II
was found possible to establish the
eight hour day. But the printers then
demanded that the Office be unionized
that they be made closed shops This
was refused. It is hard to see how the
demand could possibly have been grant

no conditions upon participation in its
fellowship except that the congrega-
ton in which membership is sought

How, then, can the church refuse

work required and there is need OF his
skill and strength, nicely because he

do so without falsehood to the gospel of

''Of course the only result of the
proposed boycott if persisted in, viii
be to make Methodists feel that they
are prosecuted for their faith and to
cpen a gap in trade union ranks be-
tween those who feel that they are
