Sensible Strikers.

NEWPORT, X. l., October 20.- What
promised to be a strike and shutdown OF
a mill was happily averted to-day. Two
weeks ago the mill owners here gave their
operatives notice that they would be com.
PEELED on and after October 25 to pay them
twenty.fveT cents per cut instead OF twen.
ty.nine cents. No fault was found with
this decision and all went III yesterday
under the new arrangements, they being
aware Of the fact that, with the cut down,
they were to receive one cent per cut
more than Is paid In Fall River, and Bev.
erAl cents more than Is paid throughout
Rhode Island,
Al noon seventy weavers left their
looms in the Aqnidneck Mill, but the
mill owners pursued a wise policy al
once, and last night sent word TO
them to The effect that the mill would be
kept open for them reasonable length
Of time, and that all could return. All
but fifteen Of the strikers were only too
glad to go to work this morning, and
those who remained out held meeting
this forenoon and decided 10 go IN also
provided those among them who had been
the ringleadets we're also allowed 10 re.
slime work as we'll. They were politely
informed that NIL could come in, and, in
view OF this Conmendabe ACT, they
promptly kept their word, and the mill
il now running the same as usual and no
further trouble ia expected.

100000 capital, even suppOsiug that the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky road
should do no more business than the
CHARTERS Valley road. That road car
ried in the year named, 1888 passen'
gers, and 23,670 tons Of freight, and ii
receipts were 81 O3G, The Cleveland
q Pittsburgh road, on the opposite side
of the river from us, earned in the same
year over $1,000 per mile, gross, or over
$4,000 per mile net. In other words, on
over Sl6,OOO,OOO of capital and debt it
paid dividend Of per cent, in quarter
ly instalmentS, and showed besides a sur
plus Of S4l7, ,4s7 AZ.
In case the earnings Of the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling & Kentucky road should only
be the same as those Of the CHARTERS Val
Icy roud, viz; S7SS per mile, or say only
one.twelith Of those Of the Cleveland &
Pittsburgh, they would still, as we said,
pay over 0 per cent dividends on a capi.
tai Tor capital and debit Of 100000.

TuE Cincinnati Christian Adrocate thinks
that the want Of the times is religious

dci,m is increasing, particularly among
the younger generation, 1t therefore
welcomes such rcyivalists as Moody and
sanEcy, who are much needed among the
Churches. The Cincinnati Commercial
agrees, in its peculiar way, with the Adpo'
eli. and says the theology Of the country
ha, become demoraliled by the war by
paper money, and the general spirit OF
Wordliness that has resulted from both.
Tho people, even the churches, have be-
come very much mystidcd in their be-
lief have heard and read a great deal
that they were not accustomed to en-
counter in old times, especially in
the way Of science, and they hard
Iy know what to make Of it all.
While they have built finer churches than
in former times and made the services
more attractive, yet there Is falling off
in vital piety. There has, according to the
Corastctai, been relaxation in the grip
on the minds Of church peo.
pie.
