The Strikes.

1t is surprising that intelligent Ameri-
can citizens, as SO many OF the chief rail
road employees are, should have yielded
to the sophistry that attempted to justI-
fy the recent action of the strikers. No
reasonable man will admit any essential
and necessary hostility between capital
and labor, an the orators and writers who
insist upon it are merely preaching bar
barism. Skill ahd talent produce more
and earn more than dullness and igno
rance; and to demand that idleness and
stupidity shall be paid equally with in
telligence and industry, is to require that
common sense shall be disregarded and
civilization stop. Capital and labor are
not essentially hostile, but they are mu.
tually dependent The problem always
is, not how to subject one arbitrarily to
the other, but how to combine both iair-
ly. They both assume the fact Of prop
rrty, but the strike denied it, or course
mere striking for higher wages does not
deny it. but preventing others from work
ing on their own terms does deny il. II
the intelligent railroad hand who reads
this will think OF it for a moment, he
will see this plainly. When the men on
the Baltimore and Ohio road, for in

be used for the transport Of freight, they

Railway Companies and Their
Employees.

Railway companies are sometimes spo.
ken OF as monopolies. How much truth
there is in this view we do not here de-
eide; yet be il true or false. it is entire
ly certain that they are not monopolies
in respect TO the men whom they EN-
ploy. IL so at all, they are such only in
respect to the transportation OF passen-
gers and freight; and this relates TO the
general community, or, rather, that por.
ton of il that need to buy railway ser
vices, and not at all to the men whom
they employ in rendering the service
As employers, they have no advantage
over the merchant, the manufacturer, the
banker, the farmer, OF the grocer. In
this respect they are simply buyers Of la
Dor in "A tree and open market, and that,
too, on a large scale. They are competi
tors with each other, and like all other
buyers, whether individual corporate
they buy as cheap as they can. They
want engineers, tremen, train-meD, con
ductors, and mechanics; and they 70 in
to the market to get the men who can
render the sc services. What they shall
pay is simply matter OF contract be
tween the parties. They have no power
to compel laborers to work for them;
and laborers have and should have no
power to compel them to give them EN-.
ployment at a specified price. A railway
company may dismiss its employees, If Il
chooses; and the employees may dismiss
themselves, il they choose. This is a tree
country for both; and. if they can not
agree as to the rate OF wages to be paid,
then they can disagree, each party rxer-
cising its own right as and its own discre
tion.
Now, as a matter Of fact, the railroad
business to the corpOrators or owners has
since the great panic OF 1873 been ex
ceedingly disastrous. Hundreds OF the
companies have become bankrupt, aud
others are on the very verge OF tins con

The Model step-Mother.
BY MRS. J. 4 sSow.

The story am about to relate, though
a simple one, will. ! trust from its very
truthiulness, prove readable. The name
OF tep-mother Is too frequently associ
ated with whatever is disagreeable and
unpleasant in domestic lite. and doubt
less with good reason awakens in the
mind of many persons painful memories
of their own childhood. But IL should
be remembered that step mothers are not
alone the guilty ones. for often IL j.
shown that "own mothers are sadly un-
faithful TO their maternal duties. In
deed. | cannot but believe that the wo
man who is true mother TO her own
children will scarce ever TAIL TO do we'll
by the children OF others. The respon
sibilities Of motherhood are not To be
trihrd with, and the care and training Of
children Is no light tack Aud while the
mission may seem an humble one. no
nobler work was ever assigned TO woman,
and, IL intrlligently and faithfully per
formed, a rich reward will be- her portion.
Some lew years since young man OF
my acquaintance WAS left a wIdUwer with

years Of unalloyed happiness. But now
all this was pact Death had come and
taken from his home the vile OF his bO-
-Onl, the mother OF his children, and lett
him a lonely aud drsolAte man. The
sorrow. the grief. the bitter anguish be
then experienced, can be FULLY realized
ouly by those who have passed through
similar trials. His own dear mother It'll
