BOYCOTT is an uncanny idea that
does not promise to thrive on American
soil.
SECRETARY LAMAR will never need
a gymnasium nor have dyspepsia as long
as he has Sparks to kick.
ANY man has a right to quit work ,
but he has no right to force another
man to quit who wants to work.
RUSSIA now comes forward with a
new remedy for hydrophobia which her
savants dec-hire "has never been known
to fail in a cui e. " It is the onion-shaped
root of the water plantain , collected in
August , dried , and giated. The powder
is spread with butter upon bread and
eaten. It is at least worthy of investi
gation.
Ttheir circular announcing the strike
the school boys of Baltimore illustrated
their mastery of terse and pointed En
glish. They saidTo all school boys
who may be concerned , and they better
Vt
be concerned : Unless they join the
School Boys' Knights of Labor and
prepare to strike for four hours , next
Monday , April 19 , they will be knocked
out. By order of executive committee.
J\R. BEECIIER firmly declines to deny
that he said the democratic party was a
' double-eared ass" and attempts to jus
tify the remark by argument and illus
tration. He is wasting words. The sim
plicity of a great truth is often marred
by useie&s talk to prove it. Let the
saying go out without commentary or
explanation and it has native strength
enough to guard its own head.
To tell whether a town is alive or
dead : The first thing to do after you
step oft' the train is to hunt up the town '
newspaper office and invest a nickel for
number of that journal. Then seek
some shady , quiet , and secluded spot ,
where you may read without fear of in
terruption. If you find no home adver
tisements in the paper , you may know
that the town is dead without going to
further trouble ; but if you only find
four columns of reading matter in a
forty-eight column paper , you may know
the town is alive and too proud to keep
the fact to herself. Such a town is
where the far-seeing business man will
locate every time. Exchange.
IN the whole English language I can
find no word that strikes more terror to
my ssul than the one word tvRum. "
It was born in hell ere the fiat of "no re
demption" had gone forth. Its life on
eaith has been one of ruin to the hopes
of youth and the peace of old age.
It has robbed childhood of its delights.
It has stolen the laugh from the lips of
innocence , the bloom from the cheeks of
manhood. It has touched the heart of
old age like the tip of a poisoned arrow.
Its sound , as it gurgles from a neck of
a bottle , echoes through many a deso
late household as the hissing of a thous
and serpents. You may deem me too
radical on this point. Yet I never in
terfere with the rights of a man to drink
if he so elects. I hold I have a right to
and do shun rum as I would an enraged
tiger , neither meddling with it nor allow
ing it to meddle with me. So long as it
keeps its distance I am content to leave
it alone , but the moment it interferes
with ray rights by coming into the
Knights of Labor , then my soul rises in
arms against it , and I can find no words
too bitter , no denunciation too scathing
to hurl against it. Grand Master Pow-
derly.
