The Meat Boycott.

With the Inauguration of the meat
boycott the consumers of the country
appear for the first time to have found
basis of union on which they might
cooperate to withstand monopoly and
eXhOrbitant charges in the meat trade.
An organ of expression has been found
in the labor organizations. This is
quite a new service for organized la
Dor. Nevertheless, it is legitimate
exercise of collective effort, and is al
ready making itself felt upon the re-
tail trade, where discharges of employ
es have already been recorded because
of the falling off i'm the household de-
mands for meats.
Organization of consumers in one
of the unsolved problems of modern
economic life. Producers have organ
lied in practically every branch of
trade. The controlling motive has in
nearly all cases been either self-pres-
ervation or profit, or both. Between
self maintenance and monopoly lie all
the different degrees of organized eff
fort to strengthen the position of an
industrial or commercial interest. The
only field in which collective bargain
ing has not made much progress hith-
erto, is that of the consumer. 1t has
often been claimed that the consuming
class is composed of units too diverse
to admit of cooperative effort. But
the same thing was once said of farm
ers, whose unions are now factor in
the prices of cotton and grain, and
also in controlling the marketing Of
their products and the purchase of
their supplies.
Even a thirty-day abstinence from
meat will have salutary effect upon
those representatives of the meat
trade who are always looking for an
excuse to advance prices. Already, in
some cities, 25 per cent. of sales has
been lost, and the boycott is scarcely
a week old Daily accessions to the
boycott league are made by tens of
| thousands.
The movement has great possibili-
ties in it, not only because of the num-
bers involved, but also because of the
change which a months abstinence
from meat may have on the permanent
habits Of food consumption.
Long continued high prices for meats
and daily products have prepared con-
sumers for substitutions on a very
large scale. If once the law of sub
stitution comes into full swing in so
fertile a field as this, There is no tell
ing how far it may go. The loss to
some kinds of food will in part be
made up by grains in others. But the
great lesson and advantage to the
American people will be the enforce
ment of more economical habits Of
food consumption npon them, and the
eliminatin of deplorable waste in the
use of foods. The people will not be
worse fed hut moro economically and
more prudently victualed after such a
propaganda as the meat boycott

John Jackson Spriggins was a sol
der in the Revolutionary War, and
was the last survivor in his neighbor-
hood. The boys around the village
tavern were wont to get together
around Uncle jack as he was fam
iliarly called, to be entertained by his
war stories. Before relating one Of
his famous war narratives, Uncle
Jack" always prefaced his tale by TAX
ing drink to the health of his de-
parted companions, and one to tone
himself up for the occasion. Here is
his story of what happened at York
town:
"Genteelmen, you had orter bin with
US at the battle of Little York The
morning the enemy hove in sight, Gin
erul Washington came riding down
the line on his little spotted pony, and
when he got to where + was he said
John Jackson Spriggins!'
Says !, Sir!
Says he. The enemy's advancin
What shall we do p
Says 1, Fight 'em, by Jiminy!' And
Ginerul Washington rode on down the
line on his little spotted pony.
by n by, the enemy kept advancin
and when they cot in range # begun
to shoot, and every time raised old
Betsy down fell a Britisher. BY ID by
Ginerul Washington come ridin' down
the line ag'in, and when he saw what
were a-doin,' says he, John Jack
son Sprigginsn -
Says I, 'Sir!'
Says he, Stop! you are a-killin
'em too fast
Says #, Ginerul, give me one more
crack ut 'em!
Says he, Only one more, mind
you
Then primed old Betsy up with
double charge of powder, and load
ed her with bullets to the muzzle, and
when / raised her up and pulled the
trigger, down fell thirteen Britishers
and thereupon Ginrul Washington
jumped Off his little spotted pony and
threw hi arms around my neck, and
says he: John Jackson Sprigginsl'-.

Says he, Henceforth don't call me

A GREAT MEMORIAL HALL.

There is nothing more ditting as a great and enduring memorial of the Father of His Country than the pro- posed convention hall to be erected at Washington. toward the consummatton of which substantial start is ex- pected to be made today in. different parts of the country.
 George Washington may have been sufficiently memorialized in the esti- nation of many people by the monu- ments everywhere erected to his mem ory, parks, squares. streets, avenues, towns and counties, not to speak of a state and the capital of the nation, which must give the name and its founder nationwide publicity for all time: but the proposed new memorial. a convention hall in the city of Wash ington, will in itself meet want of the times. Naturally, the capital of the nation ia the fitting place for na- tional congresses and conventions.
 The utility of such an edifice, to say nothing of the dignity of 1t, would be a most significant tribute to the hon. or of Washington as an evidence of the esteem in which he was held century after his death.

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.

It is singular that the nations two greatest Ieaders-its star presidents should have been born only ten days apart in the same month of the year; and the nearness of these anniver- sary celebrations has prompted many an attempt at comparisons to deter mine which of the two Accomplished the greater good for the republic There is really no need of compari- sons, for each acted upon by the in- fIuences and necessities of the age he represented was the greatest man of his times
 II should be remembered that Wash ington and Lincoln represent two dis tinct centuries and ages.
 Washington was born with a silver spoon in his nouth-Lincoln was not.
 Washington was born to ease and large opportunities; Lincoln to labor and such opportunities as he could make for himself
 Washington was made a soldier by training and a statesman by culture and experience; Lincoln was rail- splitter by training and a statesman by seIf-instruction and chance.
 Washington was tolerant of slavery, Lincoln abhorred it.
 Washington at AT was a total stran- ger to religious prejudice, and was never known to exceed the bounds of the most rigid temperance; of Lin- coin at 47 the same could be said.
 Washington could not brook tyranny of government and defied the king; Lincoln could not stand the tyranny of slavery and with the sweep of his pen made the bondmen free.
 Washington broke the chains of des- potisrn and set Cp a free republics Lincoln broke the back of rebellion and preserved the republic in it's in tegrity which Washington founded.
 Washington was true to the best principles of his tfme-was the embod fment of honor; Lincoln was equally great in his ideals and in his endeavor.
 Washington's most memoral utter ance is his Farewell address,: Lin coln's. the brief speech made at Get tysburg.
 Washington died as the Father of his Country. and by his will freed his 124 slaves. thus becoming an enamel pator: Lincoln died the Preserver of the Union and by his will 5.00o,O00 bondmen were made free. and for the first time in its history the Stars and Stripes became the emblem of free dom to all men forever and ever, and he the greatest emancipator of mod ern times
 There was but one Washington; there will never be but one Lincoln. Both will ever remain dear to the tearts of their countrymen
