We Join very heartily in the congratulations
which Mr. orion il receiving on having solved
the Peoria difficulty by declaring that the cit
izcns of that town should have tolegraphic
facilities just as cheap-although there
is no rival company there-as citizens
of adjacent towns which enjoy the sery-
ices of both companies. But IT Mr..
Orton wishes to meet the situation IN man
ncr worthy Of his past rcpute as a Geographic
manager, and to hold The confidence of the
public which he has so long enjoyed, let him
make Pcoria the rule and not the exception.
Why, for instance, should n public spirited
telegraph manager hesitate to meet the chal-
lcngc as to low rates during the Convention
ut Cincinnatii Thousands of influential Re-
publcans from all quarters of the country
will be there. Can Mr.. orion afford to have
these gentlemen charged by his company for
messages home double or treble the rates
which the rival company requires We have
undoubtedly. selfish reason for urging the
point. since the press is largely benefited by
these reductions. But the interest which calls
for them is a much wider one, and we do not
believe the Western Union can afford to ig-
more it. A great corporation like this holds It's
power only by virtue of doing rs good work
and as cheap as anybody else. If it can't do
this it must abdicatc. If it consents to do it
only when it is driven into it by the threats of
building rival lines, it loses all the moral ad-
vantage of frankly meeting the public demand.
Mr.. orion is too sagacious not to sec this, and
we do not believe that he will consent to let
his directors override him and prevent the ex-
tension to all points Of the policy adopted ut
Peoria.

sible for him to fail of doing much good.
Certainly if the erring will not come TO tho
Church the Church must go to the errlng. Ihere
are those to whom as a matter Oh taste ali
"irregllar" proceedings are disagreeaDle, anu
who see no need of putting up a "Gospei leht
in Thirty -fourth-st. or anywhere else. lhey
have their doubts of the efficacy OF camp meet
ings or of "revival" services-they prefer 10
meet within the four walls and below the ROOF
of a cOnsecrated ediiice, or, at any rate, uhuer
its protecting shadow. They should remember
however. that these extra-mural services are
az old AZ Christianity itself. The very hrst
Christian preaching was field preaching, ana
the first worship of our faith was celebrated
in the highways and byways. II Dr. Iyng,Jr'
should be so fortunate as to make any converts
in his tent as he probably will, portion OF
them at least will go over with him 10 the
Holy Trinity when the tent Is struck next Au-
tumn; and if tho remainder should DRIFT INTO
what precisians contemptuOusly call meeting
"houses," we hope that no harm will come OF
if. Better there Oh Sunday than in some places
which we might mention, or in some which are
uncomfortable. The most prosperous churches
are those which find something for every earnest
man to do in the vineyard; and 1T Is always
disheartening to see the very men turned adrift
who should be most earnestly entreated 10 stay.
This is secular opinion, but it may be SOUND
one nevertheless. So all good success TO LII.

! that week were less than $4,9OO,Ooo, the oo
crease is over ~ per cent.
| Our latest American returns are much more
encouraging Eight of them report earnings
not later than the latest British reports, ana
eleven for tho full month OF May. Inc
aggregate earnings in May, 1876, are $4,34o'-
9O5, and during the same weeks in 1879, the
same roads earned only $50, 843,O64 The net
increase, $5O3,S41. is over eleven per cent.
Moreover only nine out of nineteen roads
show any decrease. Thus the returns are as
favorable as the English returns are I'M
favorable. From Jan. to latest date sixteen
of the nineteen roads show an increase OF re-
ccpts, and the net increase of all the roads
amounts to So, 1923, 7G5, OF more than thirteen
per cent.
Tn view of the fact that the American roads
are at this time engaged in very destructive
contest for the supremacy, which, while IL
directly invol yes only two or three OF the rail-
WAYS included above, causes unprecedentcdy
low through rates over nearly all the roads
rcporting, the contrast between American and
English traffic returns is the more remarkable.
1t can hardly be supposed that the compeu-
ton has caused so great an increase OF Dusl-
ness as to moro than balance decline OF
rates from 50 or 40 cents to Is or 20 cents
per 100 pounds on grain from chicago 10
New York, for example. Whatever else may
be doubted, it il certain that the general
traffic of the country, measured i'll quantities,
has not increased from 80 to 100 per cent
because of low rates.
The explanation is to be found in part, no
Doubt, in tho fact that the extremely low
ehi IN
from tcfminal points, at local rates, which have
not been reduced largely if at all. Thus Ill
order to get the benefit of the sharp competi-
ton from Chicago eastward, larger quantity
of grain is moved over the roads leading into
Chicago, perhaps at the highest local rates.
The same influence causes increased local traihc
on the roads employed in delivery to consumers
from New York. Boston, or other Eastern ter
mini. But this cause, moments reflection
will show, cannot have produced very ma
tcrial increase in the genera! traffic. The mar
ket for wheat or corn, cattle or provisions, Is
not greatly enlarged by low rates, excepting
as those rates facilitate expectation, and no
search of statistics is needed to prove that
there has been no surprising increase OF ex-
ports of domestic products
II seems difficult to avoid the conclusion that
general traffic in Great Britain is even more
severely affected by the hard times than it is
in this country. This inference, quite opposed
to the commonly received opinion does not
vet rest on so broad an examination OF facts
rs to place it beyond doubt, but it is in some
degree confirmed, at least, by other statistical
evidence Commerce, like population, Is or
dnarily subject to less rapid changes in En-
gland than in this country. 1t is quite possible
that, with the balance between demand and sup
pig more closely adjusted there than here, dis
mrbance of the equilibrium il the more severely
felt IN Great Britain, at least for the time.

DIR. TYNG'.S TENT.
Peoria.

The Rev. DR.. Tying, jr., whc her he is to be
classcd among his Episcopal brethren as Low,
High, or High and Dry, is a gentleman OF
great activity in the ministry. and of infinite
resources. The Church of the Holy Trinity, of
which he is tho rector, remains in the regular
diocese, while it maintains diocese of lbs own.
1t is quite ready to adopt whatever methods of
the "sectsr it may deem useful in the dissem-
nation of the gospel. oven as DR.. Tying, jr, Is
ready, or has been, to preach in any hospltablc
pulpit. Its last device Is the erection Oh Thirty
fourth-st., near Sixth-ave of what called IA
Gospel Tent, large enough to accommodate a
congregation of nearly 5000 persons; and here
during the Summer the prayers and preaching
will be free to all corners. DR.. Tying, jr., will
conduct the services according, we presume, to
such ritual rs to him may seem most desirable,
and it is minated that Mr.. Rainsford, an En-
elish clergyman, will assist. Whether these
proceedings of DR.. Tying, jr., will commend
themselves to the Bishop of the diocese is a
matter we fancy, of small Importance to the
rector of the Holy Trinity or to his parishioners
The Doctor may or may not become again
liable to q public and official reprimand, bnt
his fear of ecclesiastical discipline is limited
that he will probably be left severely alone
The Bishop of New-York is the wisest of men,
and there will be no martyrdom within his
jurisdiction while it can possibly be avoided
If DR.. Potter had been Archbishop of Canter-
bury when John and Charles Wesley bctook
themselves to preaching in the fields and church
yards, it is doubtful whether there would ever
have been any Methodist Church, though there
might have been great many Methodists
within the Church itself.
Considering the matter from non eccesias-
teal point of view, We may safely wish DR..
Tying, jr, and his colaborers fruitful season
IN their Thirty-fourth-st. pavilion. There is
little danger of over-preaching and praying
within the precincts of the Metropolitan Police.
1t is hardly enough for the tepid good naturally
to admit that the energetic evangelist can do
no harm, for the truth is that it is hardly pos
