One of the most portentous and far

One of the most portentous and far
reaching strikes that have ever taken place
in this country is that now existing among
the telegraph operators in the employ of
the Western Uaion and other Telegraph
Companies. 1t seems that the operators
were under the impression tllr their salar-
les were not large enough, considering the
amount of labor ex ,cted of them and the
value of the service they rendered To their
employers This conclusion was arrived at
in the conferences OF the United Brother
hood, an associa ion of the operators, and a
committee of the association was appoint
ed to confer with the companies in refer
ence TO an increase of the salaries of the EN-
ployees The companies peremptorily de-
clined to treat with the committee on the
subject, whereupon it was resolved that a
general strike should be iuaugurated in all
the prominent cities and telegraph centres,
by which the business of the companies
would he seriously crippled, and their AFRO
gance probably somewhat suhlucd. Ac-
cordingly at noon on Thursday of last week
all the operators who were members of the
Brotherhood promptly left their instru-
ments, and for time it seemed that the
whole Geographic communication through
out the country would be suspended
The Western UniJn company has succeed
ed in Purchasing tall the lesser tele-
graph lines, and has thus acquired almost
a monopoly of the telegr tph business
Hence this company is led upon to take
charge of the great bulk Of news AMI bust
ness communications which are made by
wire. This monopoly it was thought was
what made the company 81 arrogant and
unyelding After the strike was inaugu-
rated it was thought that this company
would be speedily brought to terms. as it
seemed that their business would be prac-
tically suspended. Thus far. however, 1t
has not had that eff~ct. The company
have succeeded in retaining E. few opera
tors at every Office, and employin. new
ones outside Of the Brotherhood. 81 as to
keep their communications up after a
fashion. Their business has been greatly
reduced most business men resnrting To
the mails tn transmit communications
heretofore sent by wire. rather than to
trust them to the uncertain commnnica-
tons of the telegraph company. News
communications have also he n greatly
cursailed, despite the efforts nj the ass,-
cia.ed press. a. is evidenced hy the col
umns Of the newspapers since the strike
began. The Brotherhood thoughtful "
determined not 10 extend the strike along
the railroad lines Of telegraph not being
willing TO take the responsibility OF
the loss Of life and property that
might be the result Of the discnntinnance
Of those lines. The companies have thus far
managed TO handle its diminished bust
ness. and the tinal result OF the strike
seems at present 20 be doubtful.

The Duty OF the Coiored Voter.

The Baltimore Viadint0r, the organ Of
the colored people of Maryland, contains
in its last issue the following sensible re-
marks condemsa'ory of the blind subser
attached themselves to one political party,
and urging that it is the duty of black
men to always use their ballots fer the
best interests Of the community in which
they live which, it says, are inseperable
from their own l. says:
"Tbat we must make an effort to take
care of ourselves politically and otherwise,
without regard to any political party. has
been too plainly demonstrated by our
treatment at the hands Of the party to
which we havs-from necessity and pure
inciple-linked our fortunes in the past
and present. We must realize the fact at
once that our ballots are the weapons to
protect our rights as citizens. That they
are to be used in time of peace against our
enemies as bullets are in time of war.
That they must be used with unerring
aim against the foes OF our race. 1t mat
tiers not what garb they perchance may
wear, or whether they have been nomina-
ted by republican or democratic con-
vention. Our ballots must neoer be used to
the detriment of our race nor to the detriment
Of a community Of whieh ne are a component
part
The times in which we live, the necessi-
ty Of the hour, our present deplorable con-
dition the future into which we are Gid
inc soeminolv without any lofty OurDose
or ideas as to our preservation demand
that we must vote for principles and not
political parties, except SO far as they re-
present our interest, which should be and is
aluays the interest Of the communhy"

Our quarrelsome and fault-tinding con
temporary up at Hagerstown thinks that
we are ''really and in down right earnest
mad :" but it must have been rather per
picking to its readers to find that the ex-
tracts it made from our article to prove
our angry temper, were decidedly more
temperate and decorous than its own COM
ments thereon in which it disc aimed all
show of temper. We suppose We may
well submit to an old scold like the Mail
characterizing our article as wanting in
truth. 1t is privilege we believe gener
ally conceded to 1t by the respectable
Democratic press of the State, of which it
frequently takes advantage. In its efforts
to prove our statements untrue it exhibits
that characteristic weakness into which
both the Governor and his organ always
fall when they leave off gratuitous vitu-
peration and fault finding and attempt to
show any figures or proofs. 1t matters lit
tie what was the exact amount that may
have been paid ont for bounties in the last
mains that the amount paid out for boun
ties during the entire period the Law was
in force, plus the interest on the defense
loan and the expense of negotiating the
same, augmented by the amount which
the principal of the loan was reduced be-
fore it was refunded, exceeds the whole
amount received into the treasury from
the bounty tax. Therefore there were no
loan taxes to apply t, the sinking fund.
or ''to other purposes" either The cause
Of the fluctuations in the amount accredit
ed to the sinking fund in the different
years which the Mail wonders ut as sur
prising facts" has been fully explained by
the comptroller. The treasury officers are
by the act OF 1872, authorized to purchase
stocks for the sinking rund only when
they can be had at par or less; and the
comptroller has explained that when there
was money available in the treasury for
the purpose, the stocks were generally
above par. and he was therefore compel
led to apply the money in other ways.
which he explained, for the reduction OF
the outstanding Indebtedness Of the State
Among its surprising facts" the HIil
shows that the smallest amount accredit-
ed to the sinking fund was in 1881. after
the present Governor had gotten in full
control. and had Illuminated MI his bomb
shells The fact is that in the financial
as well as other management of the State.
the Governors influence has not been felt
at all, from The simple fact that he had no
influence Assuming an attitude entirely
hostile to the party that elected him, and
hurting his defiance at every possible OPP
portunity, he has deprived his admins
ration OF all support and cooperation
from the other Departments of the govern
ment; and we venture to asser, that he
has exercised less power ,and influence
than any Governor the State has ever had.
1t is absurd. therefore, to be lauding the
Governor for any economic measures the
Democratic Legis atures and officials of
the State may have inaugurated during
his administration.

requirement of this slight service, as a
condition precedent to the use of the pub
lie thoroughfares, would be in conflict
with either the constitution of the State
of the principles of good government.
But even if the labor clause had to be
left out of the road law, still it would be
far better to re instate the Page system,
minus that feature We should then, with
probably slightly increased annual ex-
penditure, have permanent and substan-
tial improvements m .de in our raads.-
We are now throwing away annually $40,
900 of the peoples money, and it would
obviously he true economy to pay $500 to
81 900 per annum to have the work sys
tematically and skilfully conducted. In
that way the extent of the repairs annu
ally necessary would he gradually reduced
and the expense in that behalf be CORES
pondingly diminished, until The burdens
of the taxpayers would be greatly ameli-
Grated As the work is now conducted,
the necessity for repairs becomes greater
every year, and the prospect for the future
is an increasing rather than diminishing
expenditure

The corrupting appliances by which In
diana was carried for tue Republicans in
October, 1880, powerfully contributed to
the election of Garfield in the following
November. This raises the question
whether the October States do not form
an evil which ought to be remedied.
The number of these States has diminish
ed of late. Pennsylvania, which had been
the greatest OF these States for two gene
rations, and whose October contests had
been the pivot wherein many Presiden-
tial elections had turned, gave the lead
by changing to November. Indiana and
Iowa have followed her example. The
only State whose October elections now
have much influence upon the country at
large is Ohio. In the earlier days when
Pennsylvania elected her Governor in Oc-
tober, the cry was, AS goes the keystone
State, 80 will go the Union" In the
Presidential years the October contests
were waged furiously, and the State was
flooded with money. So it was in Indiana
in 1880. the expenditure of money by the
Republicans beyond all precedent. At
next years Octeoer contest in Ohio, the
Republicans, unless utterly discouraged
in the mean while, will attempt to pur-
chase the State, as they bought Indiana in
the Garfield campaign. The evil conse-
quences of the past show that in the Pres
idsntial years all the leading States ought
to hold their elections for State officers in
November.

One of the amendments to the military

One of the amendments to the military
law in France, introduced in the French
Chamber, wages war upon bachelors. 1t
proposes to put all the bachelors into the
first-class of reserves to be called out first
in time of war, and compelled in time of
peace to extra drills and maneuvres. 1t
also retains them on the list of reserves
for twelve years instead of six years, the
term for married men. The amendment
is conceived in the hope of forcing the
smart young bachelors of France into
matrimony, but the effect of it will be to
make the bachelors "irst in war, first in
peace and first in the hears of their
cOuntrywomen.

A shocking and dreadfully fatal acct
dent occurred at Tivoli, on the Patapsco
river Is miles below Baltimore city, on
Monday evening last, by the breaking
down of wharf upon which large num-
Der OF excursionists were crowded, pre-
paratery to taking their departure on the
boat for the city. An excursion had been
given to that point by Catholic benef,
cial society Of Baltimore, which was large
ly attended: and after a day pleasantly
and quietly spent, a large crowd had con-
gregated on the wharf about 8 O'Clock, p.
M, to receive the last beat load of excur-
sionists and to take the boat for return
to the city. At this juncture the pier,
which was weak, gave way, precipitating
over 800 people into the water, and de-
spite all efforts to save them sixty three
of the number persisted. This is one Of
the most distressing accidents of the kind
that has ever happened in this section Of
the country, and should be q warning to
the proprietors of excursion resorts to
have their piers strongly constructed, and
to excursionists not to crowd so densely
upon those structures

The cholera continues to spread in the
East, and is said now to be epidemic in
Egypt. There are also reports of cases in
various parts of Europe, including the
harbors of London and Liverpool Great
apprehension is felt lest the disease reach
this country. Surgeon-Gsneral Hamilton,
of the marine hospital service, said to q
Sun reporter on Monday that if the report
stating that cholera now exists among the
shipping at London or Liverpool should
prove true he would order the marine
hospital tug Woodward to be stationed
inside the capes as boarding vessel, to
protect the ports of Baltimore, Norfolk,
Richmond, Newport News and Washing
ton. The health commission at Baltimore
has been notified to this effect. This is
only done as an additional precaution
against the importation of the disease, and
n, fees will be charged by the govern
ment. The sick will be removed from
the vessels to the quarantine barge. The
barge Selden will be removed from its
present station in Willoughby's cove,
opposite the rip raps, and towed across
the Chesapeake bay to Fisherman's Island,
inside of Cape Charles. He says the re-
port that an infected vessel arrived at
Alexandra, Va, day or two ago is un-
true An official Of the marine hospital
service was sent to Alexandria yesterday,
and, in company with the health officer
of that place, made an inspection of the
vessel mentioned, and found her not only
clean, but free from sickness. There had
been no sickness on board of her since she
left Aspinwall, the latter part of June.
