The Knife In Politics.
S, BOM a human gtundnnlnt the
knife Incision given hv Mat
thew Stanley Outiy to the
Kubernutoilul candidacy of
John 1'. Elkln was tho crudest blow
since Brutus stubbed Caeca r. Qtttiv's
ability to Klve such nn Incision vn? a
testimonial to tho political ildellty and
(flldcncy of Klkln; for Imd it not been
for Klkln Quay would today be In the
past tense of politics, the .--utldest ot
spectacles, an unhorsed boss. It wn-i
KlUln's nerve when ull others In the
Quay entourage weakened and were
ready to cry halt In tho fight for Quay's
re-election, Including Quay himself It
was John 1. Klkln, we say, who alone
said the fight .should proceed and whose
clean grit and smiling tlielessness more
than all else won tiie victory that fol
lowed. Humanly, therefore, the dirk from
Quay Into Klkln has a revolting look.
Mote than any other incident which we
have seen, It represents th'e savage and
merciless dominance of mathematics
over feelinar which Is at the bottom ot
much successful machine politics. And
yet the logic of Dm ham's laconic yield
ing to it as being pait of the necessary
discipline is flawless from the machine
standpoint. What Klkln has got fiom
Quay now, others have had to take
lrom him or from his lieutenants in the
past. There was no feeling in It, ex
cept It' be of regret, but enough of that
to modify the Inexorableness of political
mathematics as interpreted, mistaken
ly, we think, by the hand which held
tho cleaver. Tt Is bosslsm. of course,
but now that it plays Into Insurgent
purposes that apparently does not de
tract nor shock. N
Glkln's decision to go on flghtinpr
does credit to his courage and will wm
him friends In the long lun. He Is
young, able and as near 100 per cent,
net in nil that wins durability In poll
tics as any man we know. lie can sur
vive Quay's gash; unless we are wholly
deceived he will soon be the better and
stionger for it. In the meantime, a
man to take the field against Klkin as
the machine standard-bearer must be
chosen. Since it appears that the dele
gates are not to have the trouble of
paitlcipallng In his selection nor the
people to be allowed to show a second
preference, further comment Is useless.
Tho most that can be honed Is that
wise counsel may prevail ultimately
and the white-winged angel of peace
and brotherly love spread Its wings
over the whole vexed situation, restor
ing to a new euulllbrlum the machine
and the party and heralding the dawn
of n political millennium. It ls as easy
to hope this as to hope anything, and It
is much pleasanter than contemplating
the devious processes by which it Is
being approached.
Tt Is charming to see how pleased tho
truly good aro with bosslsm In politics
when It goes their way.

The Law as to Boycotts.
T11R OPIXfOX of Judge Penis
of Luzerne county, In tho
equity proceeding or Patter
son & Co. vs. tho Building
Trades council ot Wllkes-Bnrre, and
others, making permanent n temporary
Injunction against the defendants re
straining them from pioclalmlng n
boycott against the plaintiffs, Is a lu
minous exposition of the law, profit
able for general reading and study. It
is published in entirety In the Wilkes
Uarre Itccoid of Saturday.
The plaintiffs, having declined to ac
cept certain rulen formulated by the
United Brotherhood Carpenters and
Joiners of-Ainerlcn, wore in due course
declared by tire defendant organization
"unfair" and notices to tills effect were
sent out by it. The notices said that
"no union man, member of any local
connected with the Building Trades
council, will be allowed, either directly
or indirectly, to work on any building"
oir which the plaintiffs did work or for
which they furnished any materials.
After reviewing: the facts as apparent
from the pleadings and evidence, Judge
Perils said:

why nuy not eieiy oilier? Ibe appalling ronc.
qtletiecs of cirrjlncf tills piluclple to Its loitlcal
conclusion liny well lie left to the Imagination.
That It would be ilMtmrllto of personal liberty
and utterly nbcrlie of all social older, all lnv,
all cotciiiuiciit, Is manifest. The conclusion that
n bojcolt, carried 011 by the ineatu here tm
plojcd, Is unlawful, not onk dearly appears 011
principle, but is also amply siutalncd by au
thority. In support of this last assertion, tho
learned Judge cited more than a score
of decisions made In the courts of dif
ferent states. It had been argued ,by
the defense that tho defendants had
a light to decline to handle tho plaln
tiris' material; that they had, there
fore, the tight to announce their Inten
tion ot fo" doing; that they had, conse
quently, tho right to combine to do
both, and that for any loss resulting to
the plaintiffs from tho exercise of thilse
lights there was no ground for legal
proceedings. Concerning this conten
tion, tho opinion of court Is thus ex
pressed: "While it 'Is true that In
Pennsylvania It Is held that though
'malicious motives may make a bad act
worse they cannot make that wrong
which, In Its own essence, Is lawful,'
nevertheless II. Is equally true that un
der our law what one alone may law
fully do becomes unlawful when done
by i' combination of many where, In
doing the act in question, the power of
the .many is used with a malicious mo
tive to control individual freedom of
action to the Injury of another or of
the public."
Having declared the boycott unlaw
ful, Judge Ferris next raised the ques
tion: "Is the remedy by Injunction ap
propriate?" and, In these words, he de
cided that It Is:
'II. 0 inherent and indefeasible n'sbla of eujoilng
llbitlj. ot air,ulrlne; inoperty and of pun-iiing
one's cwn happiness, neecwilly Include the llfiht
In loiihut a l.iful Imsinos in a. lawful manner
without inteifererce by othct, sae by fair com
petitien or other lawful means.
The remedy by Injunction is peculiarly appli
rablo to tl.e case- at bar. (1) lieeause the plain
lifrs' Lu-iro-s i lawful and their risht to conduit
it in the.'r own way is clear. (2) Becau-e th"
acts complaa'til of arc unlaw till and ptejtidiilal

inii'.ny is in c parable the business of whldi thei
I'lilntills have been deprhed is gone and the
n.ittital tendency and cflcc-t of a contlnuaiac of
III! .l'-ts complained of will be to picient the o'i
'..liiiinir o! new bitsine-s lo take its place, (t) He
i.iie 11. e plairlilTs bale no adequate lemedy at
law. "It I3 lute tliey might bilng- their iepei

C'lcuiid lo waitant the iuleipositioii of the sticu

Itillvay. 51 Pa. 401-llti, "The objection Is pla-.td-b!e

Judge Ferris wits asked by counsel
for the defense to announce certain
tonclublons of law, among them this:
"The defendants had and have tho tight
to notify builders and contractors that
they would not and will not handle or
woik with the lumber and material
furnished by the plaintiffs." This he
would not do, saying: "They have no
such right us a. combination, where, as
here, the natural tendency and effect of
such a combination Is to destroy tho
freedom of action of such builders and
contractors and force them, through
fenr of loss or Injury to themselves or
their business, to withdraw or with
hold their pattonnge fiom the plain
tiffs." This is not only good law, but toek
bottom common sense.
