BOYCOTTING PHIL AEMOUE.

Points from a Secret Circular Issued by Two Knights of Labor Assemblies. The Great Meat-Facker Denounced asa"Dcraineerhi Autocrat" and His Goods Declared To Be Unpalatable and Indigestible. THE ARMOUR BOYCOTT. A Secret Circular Denonnciag the Packer And Itoycotting His Meats. Special to the Indianapolis Jsurnai. Chicago, Jan. 2. A secret circular has been issued by district assemblies Nod. 57 and 136, Knights of Labor, of Chicago, as a boycott against P. D. Armour & Co. It was sent out some time ago. but has been kept a profound secret from the day of its issuance, Nov. 17, until to-day, when a copy of the document fell into the hands of a reporter. It is quite lengthy, setting out with a sketch of the stockyards troubles. It says: The eight-hour movement of last spring culminated in the establishment of that beneficial system in the Union Stoekvards, commonly known as Packingtown. P.D. Armour, the largest pork and beef -packer in the world, only yielded when, through a combination of circumstances, he found it impossible to do otherwise. The eight hour system gave general satisfaction to the men, and nowhere upon this continent were there a more cheerful or willing lot of employes to perform their allotted task than the men of Packingtown. After the second week of the inauguration of the eight-hour day, the men had reached and passed the old ten-hour capacity. Notwithstanding this, P. D. Armour plotted day and night to overthrow a system which gave general satisfaction to the men and placed him at no pecuniary disadvantage. Why? feimply because this dominerinfr commercial autocrat bad, for once, been farced to yield a point to his workers without his consent. To accomplish his purpose he organized the packers into a solid combination and plaeed each member under a heavy bond to stand by the pool. On Oct. 11, the packers demanded a return to ten hours, which caused a lockout for one week, the men returning by order of T. B. Barry, member of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor. with an implied un derstanding that the retreat was but tem porary, and that an effort would be made m the near future, when the eight-hour system should be reclaimed. Scarcely had the men returned when Armour & Co', harassed them to sign an iron-clad agreement in which they were asked to renounce their allegiance to all labor organizations, particularly the Knights of Labor. It m ust be remembered that when I. IS. Barry ordered a return to the ten-hour svstem for the time being, this order did not apply to the beef houses of Swift and Nelson Morris, who were still working on the eight-hour system, and employ in round numbers about 3,oOO men. On Monday, Nov. 1, these two bouses also demanded a return to ten hours; the men refused, and a lockout ensued. which lasted one week before the trenei-ai strike was ordered, which order was issued in conformity with a general belief that if the eight-hour day was to be reclaimed now was the time. The contest began. On the oneh and stood i he 20,000 wage-workers, many of whom had given years and years of toil in building up Phil Armour's millions. working early and late, including Sunday, with little or no time for thought or recreation. On the other side stood Phil Armour and his pool, backed up by the railitia of Illinois and Pinkerton's assassins, who, but a few weeks ago, murdered in cold blood, without any provocation whatever, one of our esteemed citizens. 1 erronce Beglev. These mercenaries of capital were called out four days before the lockout occurred to coerce our workingmen in the name of the law, when on our statute books stands one that is a dead letter. which states that eight hours shall constitute a day's work. Phil Armour, at whose instigation thes cut-throats were employed, is morally responsible for Terrence Begloy's death. Phil Armour, who gambles in '"puts" and "calls," contrary to the laws of God and man, who "puts'' the farmer at a disadvantage when he buys, and "calls" for extortionate ''bull prices when he seas: Phil Armour, who organizes pools and rings for the pur pose or fleecing the public on all the necessaries or life, crowding all smaller competitors to the wall. spreading ruin and disaster everywhere, now demands that the organized workers will renounce their pledges to the Knights of Labor and kindred associations and become his willing slaves, as the following will show. Reference is then made , to the resolutions adopted by the Packers1 Association boycotting labor organizations; also, to the fact that they were publicly rescinded. "But," says the cir cular, "for the purpose of deception they were replace by another agreement, almost equally obnoxious, while tho importation of 'scab' labor, black and white, still continues, clearly proving the fact that the design of Phil Armour is to victimize our brethren, many of whom have beau in his employ for years, and have committed no other offense except that they were loyal to the cause of labor. Phil Armour, who controls hogs and cattle, pork and beef, now attempts to crush orsanized labor." Then follows the appeal, or boycott, in the following singular terms: Fellow-workmen, will you stand bv and sea it done? If tne instincts of liborty are not dead within you, you will stand by us and let this domineering autocrat know that, while he may be enabled to employ scab latr, American society will refuse to eat his meats when to do so is at the expense or human liberty and common justice. W do not believe that his meat is as good as it usod to bo. We tind that it is unpalatable and indigestible, put up under such circumstances, and are satisfied that every loyal worker will share in that opinion. We therefore ask the assistance of all our friends. Assembly 57 is comnosed almost entirely of local assemblies in the town of Lake, and No. 136 is made up of lake sailors. OTHER LABOR SEWS. Tho Beer War at Detroit The Supply of Lager Temporarily Shut Off. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 2. The contest between the journeymen brewers and the brewery-owners here has been continued now several weeks. All non-union beer has been boycotted, and to supply the demand and make the boycott severest on the non-union brewery proprietors in De4troit, the strikers have been securing beer made in union breweries in other cities, the bulk of lt, of late, coming from the International brewery at Buffalo. To-day it was . announced that that source of supply had suddenly failed, and it was intimated that the Brewers' Association here had bought off the competition. At all events, a momentary panic was created in union circles here, but by unlimited telegraphing a favorable answer was at last received from a Ciucinnati firm, and union beer will be plenty in Detroit again. 1 ho striking journeymen brewers will organize into an assembly of the Knights of Labor on Monday evening. The Philadelphia Brewery Strikers. Philadelphia, Jan. 2. A largely-attended meeting of the striking brewery employes was held to-day. They resolved to stand firm in their demands, and to carry the question of sym pathy into every Uerman society and organiza tion In the city. It was decided to join the Ger man Federation of United Trades in a body, but the question as to whether the Beer-wagon Drivers' Assembly should withdraw from the Knights of Labor was held in abeyance, the men preferring to await the action of district assembly No. 1, which threatened their expulsion from the Koighta if they did not return to work as ordered. Bakers Withdraw from the Knights. Boston, Jan. z. ine Papers or Boston are organized into an assembly of the Knights of Labor, but, having become dissatisfied with the order, are about to withdraw in a body and form an open trade-union, which will be attached to the National Bakers' Union. A prominent member ot the order said yesterday: "We are dis gusted with the manner in which District As sembly 30, Knights of Labor, has conducted the boycott against Chick & Merry. Other reasons for dissatisfaction are also given. Stove-Molders Withdraw from the Knights. Philadelphia, Jan. 2. The discontent among the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor that constitute district assembly No. 1 haa taken practical shape in the case of the stove-tnolders and hollow-iron-workers. At the last meeting of local assembly No. 110 it was decided to meet no more as Knights of Labor, except at a call of the master workman, and this practically means a severance of all connection with the order. On the 9th of September last about 1,200 stoYe-molders aud hol-

lov-ir on -workers struck work. The strike was ordered by the district assembly, and its cause was the refusal of the manufacturers to grant an increase of 10 per cent, in wages. To meet the expenses of sustaining strikers a levy of five cents per member was made by the district assembly, and it is stated $4,100 was realized. Out of this sum the etove-molders are said to hare received only $13L Notes for the balance were passed to them, but as there was no money in the executive treasury the notes could not be discharged. Frequent application was made for the money by local Assembly 116, but without avail, and the result now is that the assembly has practically severed itself from the order.

A Victory for Radical Workingmen. Chicago, Jan. 2. A victory for the radical or eocialistically inclined element was the result of the semi-annual election of officers in the Chicago Trades Assembly, to-day. William Kliver and Fred Lonpwere elected, respectively, to the presidency and vice-presidency, the only officers balloted for. Withdrawals from the assembly and changes in the delegates since the Columbus labor congress made the radical triumph an easy one. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. In New York ci.ty, on Saturday, Thomas Horn and Patrick Dolan quarreled. Horn shot his opponent twice, killing him. The murderer was arrested. At Fall River, Mass., on Saturday, Philip McCarty was arrested on a charge of embezzling letters from the United States mail and for forging a signature to a , bank check.

United States Marshal Helms, of Georgia, has sent back to his deputies an overcoat which they gave him on Christmas. He was afraid it would be a violation of the statutes to accept it, though the law on the subject of gifts by officers does not mention deputy marshals. He wanted to be on the safe side. The deputies do not know what to do with the coat The law forbids them from making presents to one another. Obituary. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Kokomo. Ind., Jan.

Augustus McMillin, an old and well-known resident of Tippecanoe conn ty, has filed a $5,000 damage suit against Mrs.Adda E. Simison, daughter of his brother. The complaint alleges that in July last, and prior to her last marriage, Mrs. Simison (then known as Adda McMillin, she having been previously married, been divorced, and taken her maiden name,) wrote a letter to Mrs. Mary Bemiss, to whom McMillin was engaged to be married, in which he was described in anything but complimentary terms, and urging Miss Bemiss to break the engagement The McMillins are among the oldest and most respected citizens of the county, and it is a surprise to people generally that discord should have broken out among them, the plaintiff being an uncle of the defendant Some years ago Mrs. Simison was granted a divorce from her husband, Charles Floyd Barcus, upon the ground of cruelty. The husband created considerable of a sensation by filing proceedings in court asking the decree to be set aside, and alleging that his wife's relatives had entered into a conspiracy to induce her to leave him. It came out in his complaint that he came down from Chicago about midnight, one night, and was met at the depot by his wife's attorneys and taken to their office, where he signed away all his legal rights in the case.

Philadelphia Times. All business men mean to advertise to attain the largest profits thereby, but there is no branch of legitimate business that is so little understood, as a rule, by the many occasional advertisers in public journals, as is advertising. Those who advertise systematically employ the best practical talent, and thus gain the largest possible returns for their expenditure. There are many business houses in the leading cities which pay the highest salaries on their list to their advertising men, not excepting even the general superintendent, of their establishments. Advertising is now understood by progressive business men as an art, and only when employed as an art can it oe made profitable. The intelligent business man exercises as much care in the artistic and attractive presentation of his business bv public advertising as the editor exercises in the literature and news of his columns. Both must be equally fresh, reliable and captivating to be successful, and the best skill of both pen and pencil is now accepted as indispensable in judicious and profitable advertising. lhe men who advertise constantly, ai a rule. thoroughly understand the art of advertising; and it is worthy of note that business failures are extremely rare among legitimate business men who advertise liberally and in all season f. lhat class needs no advice on the important subject of advertising; but the occasional advertisers, who do not appreciate systeatmic advertising as the art creative of business, waste more than half of all the money they expend to present their busi ness to the public The rule of occasional ad vertisers is to advertise just when they eoulddo business without advertising, if it can be done at all in that way. The last week crowded the columns of The Times until advertisements had to be omitted every day, because the occasional advertisers assume that they must advertise for the holiday trade, when, in point of fact, unless they had some specialty to offer, they received little or no returns for their expenditure. The progressive houses wnichhave built up immense trades by constant and judicious advertising, could have omitted their large advertisements during the last week by simply giving notice that their places were open and liberally supplied. Most of them could not accommodate their customers; some of them were compelled to close their doors for a time, but they understand that advertising is an in tegral part of their successful business, and they continued it, not so much for the holiday trade. as for the more sluggish trade to be sought for after the ebb shall have succeeded the holiday flood -tide. The holiday business harvest is over, but business and trade do not stop. They take pause for a time, but the pulsations of trade go on. and it is only a question of degree in contin uing legitimate trade for legitimate business. The time to advertise business suc cessfully is when trade is not crowding every temple devoted to it. Those who understand that judicious advertising creates and stimulates trade, are those who most artfully and persistently advertise when other advertisers stop, and they are the people who command the highest measures of success. Business men who desire to study and understand this important branch of their own business, should note the leading newspa pers during the dull season that follows the holiday trade. One-half or more of the holiday ad vertisers drop out and are forgotten, while those who appreciate the fact that advertising is most important when traie i3 most difficult to command are the people who continue, and they are the most successful of all the business houses of the city. There is no exception to this rule. If the reader would seek to know of the most progressive aud fortunate business men of Philadelphia, he can find the list in the advertisers of the leading public journals in the dullest seasons of trade. How to Grow Celery. E. P. Roe, in Harper's Monthly. If the bed is made in spring, perform the work as early as possible, making the bed very rich, mellow and fine. Coarse manures, cold. poor, lumpy son leave scarcely a ghost 01 a chance for success. The plants should be thinned to two inches from one another, and when five inches high shear them back to three inches, w hen they have made another good growth, shear them back again. The plants are thus made stocky. In our latitude I try to set out celery, whether raised or bought, between the 2oth of June and the 15th of July. This latitude enables us to avoid a spell of hot, dry weather. There are two distinct classes of celery the tall-growing sorts and the dwarf varieties. A few years ago the former class was grown gener allv; trenches were dug, and their bottoms well enriched to receive the plants. Now the dwarf kinds are proving their superiority by yielding a larger amount of crisp, tender heart than is found between long coarse stalks of the tall sorts. Dwarf celery requires less labor, also, for it can be set on the surface and much closer together, the rows three feet apart, and the plant six inches In the row. Dig all the ground thorough ly, then, beginning on one side of the plot, stretch a line along it, and fork under a foot wide strip of three or four inches of compost, not raw manure. By this course the sou where the row is to be is made very rich and mellow. Set out the plants at once, while the ground is fresh and moist If the row is ten feet long you will want twenty plants; if fifteen, thirty plants, or two plants to every foot of row. Having set out one row, move the line forward three feet, and prepare and set out another row in precisely the same manner. Continue this process until the plot selected is occupied. If the plants have been grown in your own garden much is gained by Eoaking the ground around them in the evening and re moving them to the rows in the cool of the morning. This abundant moisture will cause the soil to cling to the roots if handled gently, and the plants will scarcely know that they have been moved. When setting I usually trim off the greater part of the foliage. When all the leaves are left, the roots, not established cannot keep pace with the evaporation. Always keep the roots moist and un shriveled, and the heart intact, and the plants are safe. If no rain follows setting immediately, w&terthe plants thoroughly don't be satisfied with a mere sprinkling of the surface and shade from the hot sun until the plants start to grow. One of the chief requisites in putting out a celery plant and, indeed, almost any plant, is to press the soil firmly around, against aud over the roots

This excludes the air, and the new rootlets foroj rapidly. Neither bury the heart nor leave any part of the root exposed. Do not be discouraged at the rather slow , growth during the hot days of July and early August You have only to keep the ground clean and mellow by freqnent hoeings until the nights grow cooler and longer, and the rains thoroughly moisten the soil. About the middle of August the plants should bo thrifty and spreading, and now require the first operation which will make them crisp and white or goldea for the table. Gather up the stalks and foliage of each plant closely iu the left hand, and with the right draw up the earth around it Let no soil tumble in on the heart to soil or cause decay. Press the soil firmly so as to keep all the leaves in an upright position. Then with a hoe draw up more soil, until the banking process is begun. Daring September 1 and October the plants will grow rapidly, and ia order to blanch them they must be earthed up from time to time, always keeping the stalks close and compact, with no soil falling in on the developing part By the end of October tbaWl growth is practically made, and only the deepgreen leaves rest on the high embankments. The celery now should be fit for use, and time for winter storing is near. In our region it is not safe to leave celery unprotected after the 10th of November, for, although it is a very hardy plant, it will not endure a frost which produces a strong erust of frozen soiL I once lost a fine crop early in November. .The frost in one night penetrated the soil deeply, and when it thawed out the celery never revived. iNever handle celery when it is frozen. My method of preserving this vegetable for winter use is simply this: During some mild, clear day in early November I have a trench ten inches wide dug just about as deep as the celery is talL This trench is dug on a warm, dry slope, so that -by no possibility can water gather in it Then the plants are taken up carefully and stored in the trench, the roots on the bottom, the plants upright, as they grew, and pressed closely together, so as to occupy all the space in the exca- . vation. The foliage rises a little above the surface, and it is earthed up about four inches, so that water will be shed on either side. Still, enough of the leaves are left in the light 4.T to permit all the breathing necessary for plants breathe as truly as we do. As long as the weather keeps mild, this is all that is necessary; but there is no certainty now. -Jf0-hard black frost may come any nighty I advise that an abundance of leaves or straw be gathered ' near; When a bleak November day promises a black frost at night scatter the leaves, etc., thickly over the trenched celery, and do not take them off until the mercury rises above freezingpoint If a warm spell sets in, expose the foliage) to the air again. But watch your treasure vigilantly. Winter is near, and soon you most have enough covering over your trench to keep out the frost a foot or more of leaves, straw, or . some clean litter. There is nothing better than

leaves, which cost only the gathering. Ftp: now till April, when you want a head or more of celery, open tho trench at the lower end, and take out the crisp white or golden heads, and thank the kindly Providence that planted a garden as the best place in which to put man and woman also. Progress In Temperance. New York Mail and Express. The great event of the year has been the growth and development of the anti-saj movement Regarded at first with contflmpt by its natural enemies, with some jealousy and sus picion by its natural friends, it has "outgrown the one by its tremendous development and conciliated or silenced the other by the wisdom with which it has been guided and the size to which it has attained. Now its natural enemies the brewers and saloon keepers are more afraid of it than of all the prohibitionist movements or "moral suasion" movements that ever existed. With a platform broad enough for all men to stand upon who be lieve in temperance at all; with a body of principles comprehensive enough to admit of all varieties of temperance sentiment and with methods diverse enough to suit all forms of temperance agitation; with a splendid organization; with the backing of nice tenths of the best and strongest element of the old Republican party the party that owed its strength and youth to enthusiasm , for "great moral ideas." and which must owe its future, if it has any, to the same sort of ideas that brought it into being, and nourished it into vigor and greatness; with all these things, this new movement is so equipped that he would be bold indeed who should put a limit to its power or its usefulness. r ' There is one further feature of the temper ance summary that is of the next importance to that we have just mentioned, and that Is the movement in the churches. During the year the decrees of the Baltimore council have been published which commit the Roman church to a discouragement of the saloon business, and her members to temperance. The great Methodist body is an aggressive , tem perance society in itself. The Presby terians are carrying on a temperance work in their church, such as it has not attempt ed before. The Episcopalians have the Church. Temperance Society, the local branch of which is about the liveliest and most useful temperance society in the city. And so it goe in all the churches. Perhaps they are to take up the "moral suasion" movement apparently laid aside by others. If they will, it willjbenefit both the churches and the temperance cause immensely. " How Hordes Rest. New York Mail and Expres. "Horses can get some rest sranding," said an old trainer recently, "provided the position be reasonably easy, but no full rest except recumbent It is known of some horses that they never lie down in the stall, though if kept in pasture they take their rest habitually in a recumbent position. It is well to consider whether the habit has not been forced upon the horse by some circumstance connected with the stall he was made to occupy, in that it had a muddy earth floor or one made of dilapidated plank, uncomfortable and offensive to the horse that bad oeen accustomed to select his own bed in the pasture. If the horse can have the privilege of selecting his own position for resting his feet, he can sleep standing; but while bis muscles may be to a certain degree relaxed and get rest In that Jiosition, what can be said of the bearings at the ointsl Without relief through the recumbent position, the joint surfaces are forced continual ly to bear a weight varying from 1,000 to 1,800 pounds. This must act unfavorably, specially upon the complicated structures within the hoofs, which nature intended should have periods or rest eacn day." Regarding white streaks in butter, a corre spondent of the Farm anl Garden says: "Recently we became convinced that by letting the cream rise until the milk became sour and firm the butter will be nice and yellow, but if part of the cream be taken off while the milk is sweet and churned with the sour cream, the butter will have white streaks every time."
