JUDGE. prosperity, all sense, all civiliza- tion. ‘The rebels of '61 had some little toleration for those things which have thé respect of that portion of mankind considerably removed from the brute creation ; but the unkempt, uncombed, un-| washed anarchist, with the blis- ng eyes of the tiger and the, jow teeth of the hyena; the| theoretical communist, too lazy | to do anything but talk drivel id swill beer, the Trish and the Russian and the Polish purveyors! amite, and the other for-| eign swine imported by capital! § or coming to us voluntarily to| 4 repeat. here the humiliation of labor or the exaltation of lazi-| ness to which they have been addicted at home—these men are the enemies of all decent work,all decent society and all respectable organization, These scoundrels call them- selves workingmen and their published cards use the term wherever it is possible to use it. They were imported to humiliate labor and as opponents of the home article. They came as the avowed enemies of the American workman, and to adopt his title is the foulest of insult added to the most unpardonable of injury. Against them home capital and home labor should com bine.) THE BENCH SHOW. | ee SrcRETARY—“ Hello! There seem rather large for a toy, and rather mast FootMax— True for you, sorr. to be some mistake here. This dog is registered as a ‘toy terrier.’ He's for a terrier, isn't he?” idget's’ the toy tarrier, sorr ; but when it came to partin’ from her Miss ‘They menace the interests of both, and this menace is the founda- tion for such a union of the in- disappointed. |Car'line hadn't the courage. And here he is, sorr.” So she bid me borry another dog to take ‘ Fidget’s' place, like, s0 you wouldn't be terests of the employer and the employed as has not heretofore presented itself. It should bring about a better understanding than there has ever been before, and behind it should stand a law of congress regulating and restrict- ing immigration, providing against the intro- duction of all dangerous foreign elements, and especially prohibiting the importation of con- tract labor in any shape. “There is no Ameri- can workman who will object to this. There is no American capitalist who should object to it. It is the good old doctrine of protection in behalf of both classes, and its adoption would putanend for all time to the labor troubles which have agitated the country so long. HWUSH-A-BYE BABY. A southern woman calls attention to the fact that when Grant was nearing his end every leading southern man and city sent him mes- of love and sympathy. She also says that when Grant weut through the south, in the summer of 1876, he was warmly received by the southern people, and testified to their loyalty on his return. She wants to know if, with these facts in view, the north cannat for- give the south for its affection for Jeff Davis. It is a right smart shot; but, dear lady, the north is borrowing no trouble over the demon- strations in honor of Mr. Davis. There is, it is true, quite a difference between the reputa- tion of Davis and that of Grant, but nobody wants to split hairs. If there is any regret in the north over the southern cheers for the for- jer it arises from the fact that they unavoid- ably invite a resurrection of sectionalism on the part of both sections; and we are told that the south is so extremely sensitive over north- ern criticism that it is sending to leading ing northern statesmen messages indicative of extreme anger and a desire for gore which may be of some use in the next national cam) Better have the boys stop that, dear lady. They are coddling a trouble which, left to itself, will disappear like the mists of a summer morning. LET US FIGHT PAIR. It must be insisted that men and women shall fight fair, In Anderson, Ind., the other day, Mrs. George Whiting lay in ambush, armed with some exceedingly bad eggs, for Mr. Roy Hannah, the village editor, and when the gen- \tleman came along she pelted him with the eggs. Mr. Hannah ran, but the eggs followed him and at the close of hostilities he presented a shocking spectacle. Now we insist that Mr. Hannah is no cow- Jard. What is the best thing for a brave man |to doin such a case—can anybody tell? To ambush is to take a mean advantage, to ¢reate surprise and confusion. If the man so sur- prised recovers from his confusion how can he fight a woman? If he chooses to fight her what defence has he against a basket of bad eggs? If Julius Ciesar had been thus attacked he would have fled with a howl of humilia- tion and disgust. Professor John L. Sullivan would never stand before a woman, an am- bush and a quantity of ammunition of that kind, and Alexander the great would have been Alexander the infinitesimal in a similar situation. Is it not the woman who was the coward in this case? Did she not improve the opportunity furnished by woman's weakness |and man's chivalry in an illegitimate manner? | How much better it would have been for her |to go to the offending editor and argue the matter in a rational manner—how immeas- |urably better for Mr. Hannah. ‘There are too many combative women. They provoke hostilities and then respond to them with the improper bomb, or run away after i ign. the manner of Herr Most, or take refuge in tears and penitence, like Gustave Schwab. It is not fair fighting. Even a church deacon in the very middle of a church fight isn’t half as mean as that; and we never yet saw a min- ister who, when his congregation tore up the seats of the sanctuary for weapons and fell upon each other destructively, hid in his pul- pit or took refuge behind the petticoats of the sympathizing lambs of his flock. Let us fight fair, fellow citizens—let us fight fair. WITH REGARD 10 PROFANITY. Mr, Bergh has added to his efforts in behalf of mercy and morality by undertaking to have men punished for public swearing. One testy individual swore at Mr. Bergh, and upon being arrested apologized; but Mr. Bergh insisted that the full penalty of the law should be vis- ited upon him, and was so strenuous in his de- sire to make an example of him that he might fairly be charged with cruelty to men. The other day in this city a bright young man who neither drank, swore nor used to- bacco shot his mistress and succeeded in para- lyzing a large portion of her for life, and then killed himself. “The Rochester Union argues that man is naturally wicked and the wick- edness must have vent in some moderate way. It thinks, in other words, that if the bright young man had drank, or been profane, or used tobacco, he would not have committed the higher crimes. But men must not swear, whatever else they may do. It is criminal, and, even worse, it is vulgar. If they must use ejaculatory sentences they need shock no- body. Certain expressions might be prepared for them the use of which would involve neither vulgarity nor profanity, They might be flavored with wit or good humor, and would be rather pleasing until they became stale, comicbooks.com
