The Moral of the Gas strike
is thIs:-The companies, BY once accedng to the
demands OF the men in granting them the eight
hour system, and in afterwards breaking faith with
them, have virtually become responsible for the
present strike. They recognized the Justice
OF the eight-h0ur system In consentng
to adopt IL, and then trined with
the men, and at last broke their direct pledges in
returning to the rule oi twelve hours labor per
day. II they had never taken their original action,
or had not been notified that the present strike
was inevitable. then sthey would not be holden iOr
the present disagrecabe gas crisis. 1t Is Just as
difncuIt to reduce the wages or men In particular
trade, OF proong their time OF labor four hours
q day, as 1t is to take away the ballot
from newly enfrancnsed class OF ciuzens. There
is no doubt, from the inspections made yesterday,
that the labor Ii severe and unhealthy, and that
the gasmen are Woodworking, sober body OF
men, upon whom the city depends for Its nightly
consumption OF gas. At the East River Works the
people In charge were not too willing to
have their operations investigated, and they
behaved In a very diplomatic" manner, while al
ways courteous. The inference was that there was
something concealed which they did not care to
have ventilated.
There Is one phase OF the movement which is
worthy Of the attention, OF those studying indus
trial questions-that the Italians have again been
taken from the OF the State and over one hun
dred OF them placed In an employment where they

the works were open and the men came and went

HERALD representative called on the President
OF the New York Gas Company yesterday after

Mr.. Evertt gave very clear statement OF the
company's difficulties. He said that the public
hardly understood the nature OF the pres
ent strike or other embarrassments to
which the company was subjected. During
the past year the gasmen had struck for the eight
hour system. The company acceded 10 their de-
mands, and paid them the same wages tor two
thirds Of their former labor, when 1t was found
necessary to put on third gang OF men, and
the expense was increased fifty per cent thereby.

MAGMA OHARTA OF UNIVERSAL
LIBERTY.

plincipleof Universal Liberty, and
the dissemination of equal rights to all
Of every grade, sex and color, seems as
clear to my mind as sea of glass
lighted with fire.
Viewing the coming events in the po-
litical mirror of to-day, the politician
holds his ear to the harpof Freedom and
hears in its fainter cadences, increasing
as he listens, the birth-sOng of woman's
political redemption. The pillars Of our
Constitution shudder-they reel and
stagger like drunken man-but even
at this, the eleventh hour, the Palladium,
the main-stay and prop, which, alone,
can support our political mansion, is the
admission of women to the rights and
immunitles of citizenship. The politi-
cal corruption of to-day will be wrapped
in windingsheet of Congressional gas
and buried in the halls of the next
Congress. Universal Liberty to all OF
every grade and ser will then be the re-
suit. This is the Magma Charta of Uni
versal Liberty; then those who have
struggled so hard in our sacred cause,
those who have been spit upon, derided
and illuminated so long, can hang their
harps on the limbs of the tree of Liberty
and chant with joy the songs of our
Nation. When women vote all political
trickery, demagogueism and corruption
may be cured. The demagogues will
then look like shattered shafts and fallen
monuments in neglected graveyard
They will disappear, fly as swiftly from
the Halls of Congress as the cloud
shadow over the billowy grass of oul
green prairies. The work of wise mer
and women will blight their already
faded regulations, and their names shall
become q reproach and by-worC
throughout the land.
Liberty will leap from the sides of ou
majestic mountains, like 4 relief-ange
sent from heaven. At woman's toucl
the pillars of vice and corruption shud
der, and at the wave Of her talismani,
wand the political bribe-taker turn
pale.
30, II there be upon this earthly sphere
/ A boon, an offering that heaven holds dear;
TTis the last libaiion that Liberty draws
From the heart that bieeds and breaks in he
