Jubilation is the word that best ex-
presses the feelings with which the
striking telegraph operators on Friday,
says the New York Tribune, regarded
the return to work of the employees of
the Rapid Telegraph Company in conse-
quence of the capitulation on Wednes.
day. They consider the compromise as
a victory not to be measured entirely by
the relative importance of the company
as compared with the Western Union
While admitting that the Rapids lines
are far less extensive than the Western
Unions, the operators congratulate them
selves that they have gained the first
point in their contest with the companies
because of its moral effect on the men,
beTs of the Brotherhood, and the infiu-
ence they hope it will have on the still
stubborn corporations. 1t is argued
that the men and women on strike will
be encouraged to fresh determination.
and that the public will be irritated by
the position of the Western Union wher-
ever a contrast is presented between
crippled offices of that company and
offices of the Rapid Company manned
by old, experienced men.
The elation of the strikers was well |
by the remark of a prominent |
1ne of their number. "The surrender |
nay not settle the contest at once, he |
aid, ''but it's the first blood drawn by |
,ur side in the battle, and a successful /
kirmish always inspirits an army" The
trikers continue to charge that the
of Western Unions business is
ar less satisfactory than the official
bulletins represent it to be.
The surrender of the Rapid Company,
owever, was regarded with no appar-
Mt uneasiness by the officers and friends
{ the Western Union Company. No
Omission could be obtained from any Of
lem that it would affect the situation to
a important extent. The general SEN
ment was expressed by Press Agent
omerville when he said: "The sulTen-
ar of the Rapid Company will only show
hat a small factor il is in the telegraph
-oblem. The company's action hasnot
the Western Union to the least
gree, and the latter attitude will not be
ianged by it. OF one thing am con-
lent; that is, that the Western Union
II never recognize the brotherhood "

A Much Read Serman.

The sermon of Rev. VIM. E. Baker
founded upon the Miliboro collision of last
Christmas and printed and distributed by
the Young Mems Christian Association
of Stanton, has been much sought after
and has attracted much att ention. 1t was
was printed in full in the "Christian OBJ
server" louisville. Ky.,l last week and
referred to in very complimentary terms
BY the editors of that excellent paper. The
"Southein Churchman" also published a
long critical notice of the sermon, and
while it makes issue with Mr.. Baker as 20
some If the of the positions he takes, says
1t admires bis courage in taking stapd
against great corporation. The criticism
concludes with the following language:
No one can violate the laws of God, re-
ligious or physical, with impunity.
But these corporations do not believe
this, and some do not care for it. Hence
the Importance of the State euacting laws
that men shall have their res one dav in
seven This law is on our statute books.
Now let people-we do not say Christian
people merely, but all people who care for
the good of their neighborhnod and the
good of the laboriDg man. all people who
live along the lines of railroads, confer to-
gether to see that the State laws are en-.
forced, that all M shal; have their day
of rest on Sunday; and that No shop-ke D.
er, no factory. no railroad, shall break the
law 1t can be done, if the people say it
shall.
We do not enter into the inqniry, wheth-
er It be possible to prevent all trains from
running. but it is possible to prevent all
freight trains from running; and we hope
our people will not be quiet until they
force every railroad in the State from run
ming excursions and freight trains on the
day of rest.
