Views Of the Press.

NEw YORK, July 20. The Herald says:
"The order'issued by Gen. Eckert, acting
president Of the Western Union, that mes
sages are to be taken subject to delay and
10 mailing en- route II necessary presup-
poses on the part Of the community good
deal OF ignorance as 10 the legal liability Of
the company for delay In sending dispatches.
1t is an elementary principle OF law,
recognized and affirmed a thousand times
by the courts, that Autograph corporation
Is bound TO transmit with due diligence all
messages delivered TO it, and Is liable for
the damages caused by unreasonable delay
due to Its own negligence. 1t has been
expressly and unanimously held by the
Supreme court in this city, as we have al.
ready pointed out, that a strike,
however general, ia no defense
in law for the failure OF railroad cor
poration to perform It's deties to the pub
lie, and the law is precisely the same IN the
ease Of a telegraph company. The com.
pany Is held legally responsible for the
continuance OF strike OF its employees,
and any serious delay or interruption Of it's
business caused by the strike is held in law
to be due TO its own negligence.
The Times says Thus far the conduct
OF the strikers has been commendable. and
II is 10 be hoped that thev will avoid the
mistake OF interfering with the liberties Of
others or the property Of others. They are
strong in their cause and in their union,
and 1t will be no easy matter to gil their
places. Meantime the companies have
their obligations to the public. Under their
chartered privileges they are bound to car
ry on the business OF transmitting mes
sages, and we know Of no reason why the
obligations OF common carriers should not
legally apply to them"
The Tribune says: If the Brotherhood
OF Telegraph Operators had complied with
the requirements OF their own constitution
It IL probable that the present strike would
have been averted. One OF the provisions
OF that document is that mo strike can be
Instituted until after all attempts at arbitra-
ton have failed II the telegraph oper.
ators have substantial grievances. there Is
no doubt that a fair presentation OF their
case would meet with consderate treat
ment by the managers Of the various tele-
graph companies. But the course pursued
by the operators has been reckless and un-
wise, and In direct antagonism TO the
constitution Of their association. Instead
OF making an attempt at arbitration, they
practically closed the door against it.'

A Human MonstroSity.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Great excite
ment prevails In the neighborhood Of
No. 30 Mulberry street over the birth Of
curious child. The monstrosity Is q
double child, and the head is very large
aud fiat, the front face looking some
what like Jelly fish, although the nose,
eyes and mouth are clearly defined.
Where the back OF the head should be Is
another face, but not nearly so well de.
fined. The four arms intervene. The
shoulders on each body are perfect, but
the stomachs are joined more than halt
way down. There the bodies again sepa-
rate and each assumes its individuality, the
sex, both being males being well defined.
The legs and feet are perfect, and on all
the hands and feet are the regular number
OF fingers and toes. 1t weighs about four
and half pounds. The fatherof the mon
strosity is an Italian day laborer named
Jean Antoni. He has been married two
years and his wife had no children be-
fore this. The curious creature brcsthed
for few minutes after its birth. The IA
Their has given it to an Italian who keeps q
beer saloon and restaurant In Mulberry
street, and 1t will be preserved IN a bottle
and kept on exhibition IN the saloon.

THAT PAIsK REPORT

A member Of the Brotherhood, upon be-
ing told that the dispatch announcing Gem
eral Grants death was generally believed to
be he signal for the strike, indignantly and
positively denied that It was. why"
said he, there was no necessity for using
such subterfuge when Communication was
open freely by cypher, and was so had by
Mr.. Shaw. And more than that, let me
tell you, tho telegraphers have more judg.
mcnt and feeling than to adopt such a
heartleS method TO carry out their plans.
That story sounds like Manager Browns
well-known inventive genius that is Just
now having ample swing upon various tele-
graph topics. -

day there was no change in the situation,
either at the Western Union or the B. 4 o.
offices. Business at the W. u. was going
on as usual, while at the other the instru-
ments kept up great clatter, hut Mcssrs.
Toberts and Baker paid no attention to
them except to see that no company or line
business was neglected. The striking OPP
orators, true to their programme OF gen.
tiemanly behavior, have fefrained from
gathering in the neighborbood OF the scene
OF their late employment, as is customary
with miners and tradesmen on like occa-
sions. Not an operator was to be seen all
morning on Third street, between Pine and
Locust. A visit was made TO Lightstone's

were none. 1.-THE TELEGRAPH men don't

the following statement;
There are in all seven operators at the
Western Union office, the rest are only
check hoys, The usual number Is from
forty-fye 10 sixty. The statement OF Mr..
Brown that none OF those now out will be
taken back is incorrect. He himself was
this morning offered 500 month TO return

Exchange. The usual force is twenty. five.
Operators were badly wanted In Chicago,
but only one could be found in ST. Louis
who would go. The business Is all piled
up, and the messages now going slowly
over the wires are dated July Is. The OPP
orators cannot be replaced and will win
their points. They therefore are deter
mined to hold out. -

We made certain demands. The company
refused. We struck. 1t Is a desperate
light on both sides. They have the money;
we have right, justice and reason on our
side. We made our demand peacefully; we
quit work peacefully, aud We will conduct
ourselves in lsw.abiding and orderly
manner. The public ia the Jury, aud with
them we rest the case. / am satisfied that
the strongest point with US ia that the
Brotherhood has in It's ranks the best oper-
ators in the country and the Western Union
cannot get along without them. We
may not get all we asked for, but we will
get something, and 4 recognition OF
the Brotherhood will be one OF the conces-

hood into their employ again. MY in.
sOructons" said Manager Brown, Twas
to pay of the operators as they quit and 10
consider their positions yscant.n The
company also laugh at the idea that they
can hold out against the strikers. "Why,
We are getting on SO well here, - said Mr.
Brown, that have been sending oper-
ators to Chicago. | can secure all the
operators want in the course OF a week.
We have men enough to work our wires on
Change, but we can't do much, as there
IL no one TO work the
Chicago end OF the wire, II seems
that the members OF the
Board Of Trade In Chicago have got up A
sympathy for the Brotherhood. The BUSH
ness men will get tired Of that in day or
two, when their pockets will become
seriously injured"
Mr.. Brown then added that he had every
branch Office in the city in operation; there
are just sixty. Sixty-two operators are at
work In the main office.
The Brotherhood deny that the Western
Union is able TO attend to the business, and
say they are day behind with IT, While
they admit that the Western Union have a
good many ope rators, they claim they are
very poor ones and are making a good
many blunders.
