LABOR MATTERS. The Boycotted Shoe Finns Statements from the Parties Affected. Chicago, Jan. 6. The notice of the boycott against certain boot and shoe manufacturers of Chicago, mentioned in dispatches last night, was a great surprise to the firms concerned. Messrs. Selz, Schwab & Co. say they bad consulted with the State executive board when that body was in session here and been completely vindicated by the investigation. C H. Fargo & Co.'s case was also considered by the State board, which still has their ease under advisement. Mr. Fargo said, this morning, that he had in no way violated the agreement made last spring. At that time he had a contract with the authorities of thepenitentiary at Jackson, Mich., for the employment of 150 men, and had to pay fer them whether he used them or not At that time only about one hundred and forty of the men were at work, but when he agreed to use no more men he certainiy referred to the 150 called for by the contract, and he had at various tiroes since nsed the full 150 men. He expressed regret at the boycott, and said that he was sorry to have his goods boycotted by anybody of men, but did not see what he could do about the matter. Mr. Selz, of Selz, Schwab & Co., was very indignant over the action of the assemblies and threatens to invoke tho aid of the law if he can find out who to invoke it against.

From Sunday's Sermon. In the course of its history, Park-e tree t Church has Dassed through severe periods of trial. But, as the bush which Moses saw burning:, it has not been consumed. In the early years of its existence poverty oppressed it deeply, and public opprobtura opposed its progress. But the men of that early day did not hesitate to put mortgages on their own private residences in order to raise money to continue their enterprise of faith on this historic corner. And because they did this to honor God and his Son, Jesus Christ, God honored them and has honored their enterprise ever since. He has honored, it by making these 8 acred inclosures the cradle from which more missionary societies and missionaries have gone forth than from any other church in the region It is an inheritance of inestimable blessing that we know of so many bands, and circles, and societies having had their first gatheaajigs for organization within these venerable walls; and so many missionaries have here received their instructions at going forth to pive the gospel to "the uttermost parrs of the earth." So that the bricks "cry out of the wall and the beam out of the timber" that this old church ia a missionary church, and so an honored church. As already remarked, it has experienced times of trial. More than once circumstances have conspired to deplete its treasury and the attendance upon ordinances here. More tuan once rumor has set out to make the wcrid be lieve that its day was over and decline and disappearance inevitable. Rumor was busy at this when you voted me a call on May 29, 1376, o become your pastor. Bv annonymous and other forms of communication I was warned against accepting such a churen, and a lamentable failure was prophesied in case I should accept. As we well remember, there had been a great break in the membership at the close of the preceding pastorate, about 130 members of the church and many strong supporters of the society having gone out with the retiring pastor and begun a church that worshipped across the street for two years in Music HalL The powerful at tractions which were presented tnere. it was confidently prophesied, would make the recov ery of Park street Church impossible. V hen. in the providence of God, I began to serve you the outlook was not bright There had been this large defection, and then a painful period of vacancy in your pulpit, daring which, of course, there was a wide scattering of the people. The building, as I saw it first, was far from sightly either within or without The auditorium had an aged, cold and lonesome look about it; and all around thero were signs of want of repair, and replenishing, and revival. So that for the first six months of my service it was an almost crushing burden, because of the uncertainty of any eaort being equal to tne re suscitation of the old stronghold. But by and by

THE CHAFF

The mammoth sale of December leaves us in a mess. Compelled to engage extra and inexperienced clerks to serve the wonderfully large crowds during the latter sale we find on examination the worst lot of ODDS AND ENDS in fine and medium-grade goods we ever thought possible to accumulate in a house regulated like ours. Lots of goods (say about 15 pairs), and nearly all in two or three sizes, but with some particular size short. "THEY STICK TO A MAN LIKE HIS OWN SKIN," unless sold and forever cleaned out What matters it if odds and ends accumulatedjn an unusually heavy trade are sold at half their value? On the contrary, what good or benefit is stock ROTTING ON THE SHELVES? We prefer the handling of DOLLARS GENUINE, ORIGINAL, UNITED STATES DOLLARS than the spectacle of shelves loaded down with plenty of stock, the value of which is nominal when taken on a salable basis. WE FIND LOTS OF ODDS AND ENDS THROUGHOUT, THE HOUSE, consisting of Men's, Boys', Ladies' and Child's Shoes of every kind and description, THAT WILL BE SOLD AT ONE-HALF THEIR FACE VALUE! If we pay $1 per pair for certain shoes that finally dwindle down to a few so-called unsalable sizes, we prefer 50c good cash for use in our

business to the "dollar" lying on a shelf in the shape of shoes; and shoes will never pay the butcher or the baker, nor be acceptable at banks. You were satisfied with the prices last month, as attested by the liberal patronage, and we now give you the benefits of the same goods, same lots and same kinds, at ONE-HALF THE DECEMBER PRICES! Double the inducements of that' sale, lacking only the assortment, the latter fault being the chief cause of this reduction. There are $10,000,00 worth of odds and ends in our stock wiiich must be sold. It would be suicidal to our interests did we not offer them low enough in price to expunge them from our stock before invoicing. We want every man, woman and child in Indiana who need Shoes or Rubbers to come in and attest the absolute truthfulness f these statements. THESE ARE WHAT "WE INDIANS" CALL R0CK-B0TT0M PRICES: Please read carefully, and understand every kind mentioned represents some odd lot or fag-end of some large lot, BUT-IN GOO D-

We stand ready at all times to tackle competition. WE CRY FOR WAR ! WE AWAIT THE CONFLICT ! Our "thirst for gore" will not be quenched until we demonstrate to the world our ability to sell Boots, Shoes or Rubbers at less prices, satisfied to receive lower prices for our goods than most shoe retailers pay for them. We right here throw down the gauntlet, as we have done dozens of times before, and invite you kickers to come out boldly with your prices, otherwise, to use -a pugilistic phrasej"shut up."

the south wind began to blow, and the summer of success to bud and blossom. Audiences began to increase and courage to return. Our gatherings for prayer grew larger and larger, and have never lost, but steadily gained in interest and increase of spiritual power through every year since. Prom the very first hour of its existence there had always been a debt upon the building. Looking over the history of the society I find records of various movements that had been, made at different dates to clear this off. Some of them were unsuccessful; some were partially successful; none of them were fully successful; so that, beside a considerable floating debt, I found a mortgage of $12,000 upon the edifice. At my request and most promptly, as a free-will offering, every dollar of indebtedness was liquidated. After that, when I solicited you for means to put the house in compete repair, you gave, first and last, upward of $20,000, and did it so cheerfully: So that to-day, as yon have said yourselves, it is as "fair to look upon and as comfortable for use' as one would ask: as good as new and to the eye, perhaps, better, too. During these years of our labors together we have been so befriended by those who have come to the support of the old church that each year has closed with an easy treasury, and year after year the books have closed with a balance in hand and no liabilities. There are cases where a balance in hand has been reported without the statement of "no liabilities." A signifi cant omission! By the favor of providence. without increasing our pew rentsthe tax rate on them being o per cent, less than before my pastorate and without the help of a few wealthy people paying for more than one pew, and with out raising a purse of hundreds and thousands of dollars to make ud deficiencies at the end of the years, we are allowed now to close our ac counts together, leaving a very comfortably large surplus in the treasury. And all this we attribute to the "good hand of our God upon us" during these years. We have had no aim higher than to honor Him. We- have preached what we believed and have believed what we preached; unmoved by any drift around us and undismayed by an outside plot of jealously using the tongues of dilligent slander which once would have fain disturbed our harmony and stopped our Buccess. Steadily pursuing the pur- j pose of our calling, and keeping my covenant with vou in preaching what you understood an ! evangelical Congregational pastor is pledged to preach, without evasion or in-li-rection, or the trick of using words ' iu a double sense, I have continued until this day; and God has honored us in all ways. Be- I side the material evidences of his favor the spir- ; itual life of the church indicates the same. In : these years of my pastorate over 600 new members have united with the church, an average of j over sixty each year. And on this last day of ' our service and sacrament together thirty more new names are to be added to our roll, twentyeight of them entering by profession of their faith in Christ Surely God has honored us greatly, while we have all too imperfectly tried to honor him. Called now, as I think by His voice, to assume ereatly-enlarged responsibilities, to the care of a church of 2.300 members, having on its Sundayschool rolls the names of 3,000 scholars, I as much shrink from its vastness as ten years ago I trembled at the sight of the vacancies here. If ever I needed your prayers I feel the need of them now. These last weeks of our life together have been so happy and holy that their utterances and acts will remain with me while memory lasts, as & loving benediction. Distance will separate us in person, but never in sympathy. Let me affectionately urge you to stand together in that cordial eo-operation whieh has been so longecjoyed. Keep the faith, brethren, as you have kept it here tor so long; the old faith, which our fathers toiled and sacrificed so much to transmit Give this pulpit to no minister that is liable to be "turned about with every wind of doctrine." And when yon shall have committed it to the care of one whom you are led to trust, may it never occur that he or any of hia successors in office will turn a theological somersault out of the creed which the pastor and the deacons must sign into some fanciful fetch-up of his own fabrication, or fashionable spe elation of a passing hour. Come now, as we are, to the parting hour, more 6olidly united, if possible, than ever we have been, there is no utterance that I can make or quote that better fits my feelings than the priestly benediction of Aaron, which let ma pronounce on you each: "The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord make His face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up the light ot His countenance upon thee and give thee peace." Given Away. Detroit Tribune.

BLOWN AWAY, LEAVING THE KERNEL BEHIND!

TD TTrn TT - it nn rn rs - -v-r-x a tit -v THE ORATOR OP LIBERTT. Wendell Phillips's Eloquence An Inspired Effort that Changed the Course of History. Lecture by George William Curtis. Revolutionary traditions were the native air of Wendell Phillips. When he was born in Boston, in 1811, many old figures lingered. In 1820, when but nine years old, the debate began which he was to finish, the first words against slavery were spoken in the debate over the admission of Missouri to the Union. The highly-bred boy played upon Beacon Hill till, at the age of sixteen, he entered Harvard College. His classmates still living remember his pride and reserve, and his kindly bearing and ready tongue. He was not a devoted student nor did he forecast the reformer. Still in their memory h walks those college paths. He graduated in 1831, the year of Turner's rebellion in Virginia and of William Lloyd Garrison's lannchingof his newspaper. Phillips began the study of law. If, i musing over Coke and Blackstone, he sometimes I forecast the future, he doubtless saw himself i succeeding Fisher Ames or Daniel Webster in ! representing Massachusetts in the national : councils the idol of society, the exponent of the ; elegant repose of aristocratic Massachusetts. "That force which can exchange these rosy ; hopes for ignominy and defeat and climb over ' them to final prosperity is the true test of noble ', manhodSl The time in which he studied law waAX?a of moral apathy. In 1834 the slave I interest had become one of the most powerful i forces in the world. The throne of England at its mightiest moment, the English aristocracy i at the beginning of the century, were not i so strong as slavery in this country fifty i years ago when this young lawyer sat in his office and joked with his fellows about the client ' that was yet to come. One sunny afternoon in October, 1835, the cliant came, but in what a i form! In the vry. shadow of the old State ; house he saw American women insulted for be- , friending their sisters whose children were sold j from their arms. Himself a citizen soldier, he looked to see the upholders of the law Jo their ( sworn duty, but he soon saw that they i themselves were the offenders. It was enough. He was bred in the revolutionury trai ditions. His blood ran from the revolutionary . springs, and as the jail doors closed upon Harrii son that afternoon to protect him from the fury ; of the mob, the greatest victory in the war for - freedom had been won in the person of Wendell i Phillips. There stood the long expected client ; He had come at last Scarred and wronged and degraded humanity! We who recall the life , and the sacrifice do we not hear in the air of i that long-vanished October day the benediction : he could not hear, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto ; the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto ; me!1 j It was till Lovejoy was killed that the world ' got a glimpse of the fierce passions which glowed under the seeming peace of the American : Union. Faneuil Hall was at first refused for a : meeting called to denounce the Alton riot, but afterward it was opened, and never since the massacre of State street had Boston seen such an earnest throng in Faneuil Hal). It was an unwonted and foreboding scene. An evil spirit , was in the air. The voice of the leading official ' present said, amid the plaudits of the audience, that Lovejoy had died as the foot dieth. . Was the spirit of the revolution extinct? In the very cradle of liberty was there no son to answer ; that cruel speech? By the grace of God, there j was. The heart of young Phillips burned with- ; in him. He said to those around him: "Such a speech in Faneuil Hall should be answered I in Faneuil Hall." "Then why not ! answer it?" said a friend. "Help me to the ! platform and I will,' he replied. He mounted :- the platform, and was greeted with a storm of hostile cries. He stood there in all the beauty j and grace of imperial youth. The Greeks would i have said a god descended. In a voice of warning he called Boston to herself. Once more its . native music sounded in Faneuil HalL There had been no such speech since Patrick Henry's warning to George the - Third. Three such scenes illumine our national history Patrick Henry at Williamsburg, Wendell Phillips in Faneuil Hall, and Lincoln at Gettysburg. There is no fourth. It was a speech to arouse a nation and change history. As the liberty cause passed from moral to political action the sound of speech which had never before been heard filled the air. But above all the voices that of Wendell Phillips arose as one clear voice in a chorus rises like a lark above all the others. Wendell Phillips was the orator as others were the statesmen of liberty, Webster, Everett, Clay and Choate were still alive, but Phillips differed from all more than they differed from each other. They spoke on accepted views with parties behind them. Phillips stood alone. Both parties opposed him. Jle must make a new party. Public opinion denounced him. ne mast change it His speech was popular appeal for an unwelcome cause, and the chances of success lay in his power to charm the people into his way of thinking. He faced bis audience with a tranquil mien, and a beaming aspect sever dimmed. He made no passionate appeal nor feigned emotion. It was simple colloquy a gentleman conversing. How was it done? How was Mozart's music made! Why do the birds sing? He glowed with concentrated and perfumed fire. His pure and eloquent blood spoke in his cheek, and one might say his whole body spoke. This was no orator of ancient times; it was an American patriot, a modern son of liberty, pleading with the American conscience for the chained and speechless victim of American inhumanity. To understand Phillips one must reeall the history of the country. II independeat America

was to beeome free America the first duty of the hour was agitation. Garrison was not the first Abolitionist; Luther was not tha first Protestant. It is very hard for the survivors of that generation to believe that the names of the two leading Abolitionists will be written by a sunbeam. In all the essential qualities of heroic action neither Martin Luther nor Garrison were nobler than Phillips when he demanded the immediate and total abolition of slavery. Politics are founded on compromise and expediency, and had the Abolitionists stopped to truckle to these forces their mission would have been lost To vote was to acknowledge the Constitution, and to acknowledge that was to acknowledge slavery. Could any American, any honest man, any great country, do this and not learn, sooner or later, the truth that God punishes nations by national calamities? For his great work of arousing the country and piercing the national conscience, Phillips was especially adapted. He did not flatter the people. To many he seemed mad. Quixotic, and eager for notoriety. But his life is an answer to all this. He spurned the idea that the majority are ignorant and that the few are wise. He believed that everybody knows more than anybody. The idols of a purely conventional virtue he delighted to shatter, as he believed the worst men to be those who make moral cowardice respectable. He knew that his sharp words closed to him the sympathy of many hearts, but he knew only humanity and humanity crucified. He was the most solitary of eminent American figures. At public dinners and in ostentatious charities, and the like, he was as unknown as he was in legislative halls. He preferred to form public opinion rather than to represent it. He thought that the respectable class was often the dangerous class. I am not here to say that he was always right He would have scorned such praise. He was a great American, and not one American more truly than he purged the American name of its shame and made the American flag the flag of hope for mankind. An Unfeeling People. New York Mail and Express. The most absurd (senatorial) candidacy is that of Jones, in Florida. This poor man has been in Detroit for two years pursuing, so the newspapers report, a hopeless love affair. We suppose that Jones is very unhappy and suffers intensely, but the world can not or will not sympathize with such a suffering as his, and laughs at and ridicules him. A six-foot, red-faced, fat and sighing lover, who neglects his duty in order to force his addresses on their unwilling object, can never be elected a Senator by a people with any sense of humor. We fancy Jones will be left to pursue his love affair without compensation from the United States. Advice to the President. New York Mail and Express. We are glad to learn that the President is improving.
