The Sunday law was recently violated by re-
spectacle citizen of Brookline Mass, who was
caught by policeman, the Lords Day, tying
up some flowers in front of his house. Taken
before Justice, the offender pleaded guilty" was
fined, and has appealed to the Superior Court. In
regard to Sabbath observance, we think that the
right rule is pretty plain one. man on that day
has no right to do anything which will interfere
with its quiet and unmolested enjoyment by
others and this rule implies general suspension
of business. But if the law allows any man to be
crminally convicted for doing anything upon his
own premises not in itself criminal and not annoy
ing to his neighbors, then, we think. the law
requires revision.

According to The Gold Hiu Nevada Acss many
lovely women in that region and in san Francisco,
try their luck in mining stocks. The Chronicle (of
San Francisco mentions a Mrs. Colt, who has made
$1,000 Mrs. Theal, who counts her gains at $4,000:
and Mrs Cox, who is spoken of generally as having
realized quite fortune" Some Of these spccula-

Men and women arc pretty much the same the
world over. When Margaret Dixbanc, the murder
ess, put upon the railway train at Dover. TO be
taken to London, there o regular jostlng mob
in the station, and several persons clambered to
the top Of the carriage to catch view Of the pris
oner." Reporters, are told, were busy noting
every shade Of expression that passed the scs
of the captured fugitive. At Dover, too. the un-
happy creature was ." hissed and groaned," so that
she looked very despondent, and quite lost her
spirits. The newspapers careful TO inform their
readers that "she wore dark waterproof cloak.
with gray alpaca dress. and the white cap char
acteristic Of French servants" During the passage
across the straits we informed that she took
little brandy and water and some sandwiches.D II
would seem that New-York is not entirely alone In
the eager interest which it feels in murderers;
though sometimes to read the English newspapers
one would think so.

In the anniversary meeting of the American
Baptist Missionary Union, yesterday, among
other interesting reports which were made, was
one rather astonishing statement from the mis-
sion in Japan. 1t was said enthusiastically of the
Jealous missionary in that country that, among
Ills converts, he was able to include the Mikado
himself. Can this be truef If so, it is likely
10 effect more decided revolution in the
affairs of Japan than any other recent event.

While the deep-sea organs are bewailing that 50
many vessels in our harbor float the English and

some questions. Is it the English trade system or
English capital that brings those vessels here II

RESULTS OF THE STRIKES.
SOBER THOUGHTS FOR WORKINGMEN.

Although the strikes in this city have about
ended their results cannot be disposed of readily. For
over two months trade after trade has demanded eight
hours the dcahOn Of the tradesunious in most in
stances and $1,000 engaged in the most important
industrial Of the city have sought TO reduce the
hours OF labor With what result Scarcely more than
one-eigbth of these have gained what they
sought The strikes in general have been failure,
although in few trades particularly those concerned
IN building, the demand for eight hours has been
granted by the employers; but even In these instances
some of the workngmen have found to their cost that
easier to lose job than TO get one, and consequently
many Of them are in the streets impoverished and al
most hopeless. The Of employers have obsnatey
withstood the demand for reduction Of working hours
and have succeeded in resumng work under the tehor
system The strikes have diminished business and many
manufactures employing reduced number OF hands
Business has languished at season when a national
election certain have depressing effect upon trade
The workingmen could not have selected more inau-
spicous season for their movement time more un-
favorable 10 their own interests.
The trades in which the eighthour movement pre-
vailed are gradually returning TO the old system.
The men in the building trade have discovered that
work is diminishing Both employers and employees
lost money, the employers in fulfilling contracts at
greater cost than their estimates and the employees in
the wages withheld during the period Of the strikes.
Though the eghthOur movement has pervaded nearly
every mechanical trade in this city, 1t is asserted that
far the larger proportion of the strikers have taken part
in Il unwingly, mpelled by the secret influences Of
tradesunons and eighhour leagues 1t is alleged that
the least industrious and competent mechanics
are the most unjust IN the demand for
eight hours. The TRIBUNE has heretofore shown by
figures, well authenticated, and generally admitted to
be correct by the workngmen that the strikes have
casioned loss covering several millions OF dollars and
affecting equally the employers and the employees Other
losses have been caused by the transfer OF business 10
other cities as manufacturers have been compelled TO
purchases in other markets 70 complete the con-
tracts. .,.--. -.

TIE MILK QUESTION AGAIN.
PROPOSED CONVENTION oF PRODUCERS.

PROPOSED CONVENTION OF PRODUCERS.
The suggestion made in the article which
appeared in TRIBUNE some time since in reference
10 aduerated milk in tins city attracted the
attention OF farmers and they ponderng ques-
tions Ike these: How can change be accomplished !
Can farmers manage the business themselves, and Keep
It in their own hands Can they insure honest dealings
with eonsumersi How much capital will he required .
These associations of already formed some OF
which are now practically demonstrating, in small
way, the feasibility OF the plan, are entitled
10 great credit for their enterprise, and, IT
H. TO be hoped will be literally patronized
by long abused public Some of them are organized on
a safe business basis others or less defective
all are necessarily restricted from lack of capital and
facilities which combination would insure. II approx-
mate figures are taken a basis of estimate, II may be
stated that the quantity Of milk sold daily in NewHOrk
is about quarts 100000 Of which are sold at retail
and 10000 at wholesale 70 hotels grocers and families
The number Of single horse wagons used in the retail
trade is about e25 and Of twOhorse carts in the whole
sale trade 800 II is stated that proper division Of the
territory trayersed by these wagons would reduce the
pumer Of wagons One-third aud all other expenses in
proporton--a reduction which one can see at glance
would pay handsome dividend the capital required.
careful estimate OF the cost of wagons, horses, and
necessary equipments including surplus Tor working
capital places the amount at little over $55OOO THIS
sum would he divided prOportionatey among all the
farmers who send MIX TO the NewYork market To Sc
cure this amount certificates drawing seven per cent IN
terest could be issued each Of which would constitute
the owner member and enttle him to sell milk through
the agency OF the Association II Is proposed TO have
the Association pay its members stipulated price for
milk after which the profits arising from the business
Interest and expenses having first been paid are TO be
shared by the members dividends declared annually
OF eeIni-anpualy. The books will always show
how many quarts any member has furnished
during gwen period BY this plan it is claimed that the
entire profits of the business will pass directly 70 the
rodacers pockets aud all will be equally interested
In the distribution Of pure milk, any departure from
honest dealing will be punished by forfeiture Of the right
10 sell through agency OF the Association. IL is also
proposed make butter Of the surplus milk The AssO
ciatiOn will have ts repair shops, and conduct the
whole business with that cannot be attained by
individuals firms The farmers say that there Is no
good why they should not receive hy per cent
more for their products than they do now.
