SUNDAY WORK.

The seventh annual report of the Bureau
of Statistics Of Labor of Massachusetts is a
valuable document, and what is rarely the
case with volumes of this character very
readable one Under the management of Col.
Carroll d. Wright the Massachusetts bureau
has become the foremost institution of the
kind in the country, and its annual reports
are not only of great value to the people of
Massachusetts, but to the whole country as
we'll
Part Second of the present volume is en-
tirely devoted to Sunday labor, and the facts
therein collated and the conclusions deduc-
ed therefrom have peculiar interest at this
time. 1t is curious fact that the inaug
uration and establishment of the Sunday lo-
cal train system centreing in Boston was
wholly the work of church-going people.
Members of churches in Boston living in
neighboring towns who wished to attend the
churches with which they were connected
applied to the railroad managers for Sunday
trains to enable them to do so, and it was at
their suggestion that the first local Sunday
trains were put on. Among the signers to
the petition that finally secured a Sunday
'locaP' on the Boston and Providence rail
road was pastor Of local prominence. And
what is true of the steam railroads Col.
Wright finds true of the horse railroads. The
horse cars were first run in Boston on Sun
day to accommodate church-going people and
at their earnest solicitation. The leader of
the movement that opened the Cambridge
road on Sunday was church member, the
Metropolitan road began to run Sunday cars
because requests were made to carry pas

sengers to the churches and scholars to the
Sunday schools" and in the case of the
Northampton railroad church people said
that it was duty which the road owed to
the public to run cars on Sunday to take
people to church. At the present time
however, but very small part of
the travel on the steam cars or
the horse cars is derived from people
going to church, the vast majority of it being
made up of people going to summer resorts
for recreation and pleasure, but with few
exceptions the motive for opening the roads
on Sunday in the first place was to accom-
modate people who wished to attend
churches remote from their residences.
Col. Wright believes that it is virtually
out of the power of the railroad managers to
suppress the Sunday trains. The fundamen-
tai duty of the managers is to run their
roads to accommodate the public, and as
long as large portion of the community de-
mand Sunday trains they will be compelled
to comply, no matter what their personal
views on the subject may be. The remedy
and the only enc is in the hands of the peo-
pie If they will stop travelling on Sunday
they will stop the trains, and this, Col
Wright believes, is the only way it can be
done.
The attitude of the employees of the rail-
road toward the Sunday train business Col
Wright finds all one way. The engineers
with scarcely an exception express them
selves in opposition to it. If they could have
their choice they would prefer to work six
days only in each week. The rest is
preferred to the additional wages They
work on Sundays simply because they are
compelled to, and the effect on them physi-
cally statistics show to be bad. In the case of
the horse railroad the case is different There
the work is light and the physical effect
does not seem to be detrimental, and the
drivers and conductors care less about a
holiday.
Col. Wright finds that very little Sunday la
Dor is employed in Massachusetts in produc-
ing material wealth. The factories and work
shops are all shut down, except in cases of
emergency, and no work not absolutely nee
essary is done in them. The work done on
Sunday is in the nature of personal service,
and in such labor statistics show that over
100000 persons engage in Massachusetts, every
Lords Day. Col Wright believes discus
sion of the facts collated in the report will,
lead to the conclusions shat the sheer will of
man, actuated by no constraint of nature nor
through the selfish motive of profit but only
for what is considered as some human con-
yenience, causes all or nearly all the Sunday
labor in Massachusetts; that all wealth and
true economic welfare that man now has
with Sunday labor he could easily have
without if he set his mind in that direction,
and that the safety of society, as such safe
ty is represented ii the intelligence, in the
morality, and in the integrity of the great
body of workers, depends not upon turning
Sunday into day of recreation but in pro-
viding such means for recreation and rest
during the working days of the week, when
Sunday shall become a day of rest in the
highest sense

The Rise of Silas Lapham. BY w. D.
Howells. Boston: Ticknor & Coz It was
very kind, as well as clever, in TicknOr &
Co. to publish Silas Lapham in book form at
this time. 1t is a book for the season which
cannot fail to keep awake and amuse the
reader even while the dog star RACES. 1t
had previously been published serially in the
Century, which has been looked for month
by month as eagerly by the ladies on Tom
Corey's account, as it had been by their
brothers, husbands and lovers ON account of
the War Articles. The two-the War Arti-
cles and and Silas Lapham have run up the
circulation of the Century into the COS, to
speak metaphorically, or rather thermomet-
rically. Nor is the general taste seriously
at fault, for this is no sentimental tale of
clears, Idle Tears" but a realistic story of
life, just as it goes ON around us and in sight
of us daily. Truly, Mr.. Howells has the eyes
to see, and the pen to paint it better than
most of us. 1t is something to our credit.

ciating the good things provided for u.s. ST.

and bred boy who seeks his fortune and
wins it in the city, owing much of his success
to his better half,-with children of whom
both parents are fond and proud,-for whose
sake they plan city house on ''the water
side" of Beacon street which burnt down be-
fore finished, and carries down with it the
success which has attended all the earlier
ventures of Silas Lapham its owner. Sllas
might have saved himself financially, if he
had stopped to sharp practices. But he
could not and so was compelled to forsake
the city and return to the home and scenes of
his early life, where he lived contented to the
end of his days. So much for Silas, the in
ventor of the best mineral paint in the world,
or at any rate, that was ever put on the
market. Of course, in this brief outline, not

made by his father, and means to rectify
them in his own career. Many of our young

SOLEMN FARCE.
Philadelphia Bulletin
Nnat solemn farce was enacted at Krem-
sIer at the meeting of the Gar and the En-
peror of Austria! Peasants were gathered in
gala costumes, enthusiastic shouts were
wrung from the people at stated intervals.
and an effort was made to produce an ap-
pearance of happiness and prosperity and
loyalty. But even the peasant clods must
have realized the incOngruity of this sham
festival when they saw the army of soldiers
needed to guard the life of the despicable
Russian monarch. The man who tries to de-
celVe his own conscience can hardly be more
at ease than the Gar who orders his minions
to arrange a theatrical show like that at
kremsier; he deludes nobody else and cam
not delude himself.

Ii reports from Ireland are true the repeal
of,or rather the failure to re-enact, the crimes
act has been followed by just such results as
Earl Spencer predicted. In the county of
Kerry agrarian outrages are rapidly increas
ing and in the county of Limerick boycott
ting has been revived with the sanction of
the National League. 1t will be exceedingly
unfortunate for the irish people if the re-
ports turn out to be true. The crimes act
was allowed to lapse to give the Irish people
an opportunity to demonstrate what their
leaders claimed to be the fact, that they had
no disposition to carry on their political
agitation in any but strictly lawful man
ner Ii they demonstrate the contrary we
can be pretty sure that the next Parliament.
no matter whether the Liberals or the Con-
servatives are in the majority, will re-enact
the crimes act, with all its harsh and barbar-
GUS provisions; and Mr.. Parnell's work will
receive a severe check.
