wORKINGMEN AND SUNDAY.

In Germany there is no such observance
of Sunday, even among religious people, as
there is in this country, and sport is quite
proper for that day and work is no sacrilege
in the estimation of the average TeutOn.
Prince BISMARCK said in the reichstag the
other day, in his speech on the bill to pro-
hibit Sunday labor, that England is centur-
les in advance of Germany in civilization.
Perhaps he might have found much in ex-
PLANTATION of that fact in the difference with
which Sunday is regarded and observed in
the two countries. But much as the aver
age American would dissent from his views
as to the observance of Sunday, the advo-
Gates of the maintenance of the sacred char
acter of Sunday as day of rest and
worship must thank Prince BISMARCK
for his presentation of the. question
of Sunday labor as one which the work.
ingman himself could be permitted to
SETTLE Though I am not in favor
of law forbidding Sunday work." said
BISMARCK, eff 1 Thought workingmen
really wished it would advocate the meas
ure'' 1t seems that he regards it as mat
ter which may be left to adjust itself with
out statutory provision. But his suggestion
to workingmen that they should decide the
question for themselves is extremely sig
nifcant and important. 1t is the phase of
the subject which can be most advantage
ously presented by the advocates of the
traditional American Sunday. The ques-
ton presented to the workingmen of the
United States, and which they must decide,
is whether they shall choose to preserve the
sacred character of the first day of the week,
or whether they shall be forced into the
bondage of perpetual toll. Rightly pre-
scented, the doctrine that Sunday should be
sacred as a day of rest will have the sup
port of all the working classes, and COM
plants of increasing laxness in the Observ-
ance of the day will soon cease.

Shall children doubt of each?"

THE selection of the city of Washington as
the site of the new Catholic university is
worthy of note as an evidence that the pre-
lates of the Church of Rome in this country
recognize the changed and rapidly changing
character of the capital city, and its promise
for the future On this subject the New
York Times says: washington is no
longer mere seat of government
the home of congress and the pres
ident, sustaining an unsettled population OF
Office holders and Office seekers. 1t has al
ready become center of social gay.
ETY., and social gayety pretty certainly
and promptly brings in its train the
cultivation of letters and the arts, not only
because that sort of thing is looked on with
favor by the world of society, but because
every social circle has certain proportion OF
men and women with the taste, the time, the
money and the brains to engage in serious
mental work. The directors and curators OF
the National museum have long fordseen that
washington was to be an important center OF
learning, and it has been their ambition to
stimulate it's development in that direction,
The prelates have done wise thing, no
doubt, in deciding to build the Catholic uni
versity at Washington"

Oregon Navigation Lease.

The fact that the Union Pacific is not
legally able to become a party to the pro-
posed lease of the Oregon Navigation, has
entirely changed the situation, and it is
doubtful whether the Northern Pacific will
continue the negotiations. If the latter
company could get control of the Oregon
Navigation on its own terms it might take
it, but the time for a lease on
any fancy guarantee has passed.
There is a large and powerful party in the
Northern Pacific which has opposed
the lease from the first, on the
ground that it would not be bene-
fetal to the company and that the
Northern Pacific will soon have line to
the coast that will take all its business.
Another objection has been that the scheme
of joint lease originated in the brain of
Jay Gould, and that his main reason for
designing it is to benefit the Union Pacific
and to enhance Oregon Navigation stock,
on which he is said to have call for large
amount There are some Northern Pacific
holders who will sell their stock if Mr..
Gould gets hold on the road In any
event the Northern Pacific is now in a posi-
ton to do as it pleases, and strong oppo-
sition to any lease will be organized.

critical condition and tits feared death will

critical condition and it is feared death will
result from the harsh treatment he has re-
ceived
The testimony of MABEL, the eldest of the
three children, tells the story of LoTTIE's
death and reveals horrible brutality almost
unequaled in the annals OF crime. Her
testimony was as follows:
On Monday he became angry at LoTTIE and
beat her with strap. Then, tying her hands
behind her, he forced her to walk upstairs
ON her knees, but she was so weak that she
could not do it. My step-father then picked
her up and, carrying her to one OF the upper
floors, threw her under the bed, still having
her hands tied. She groaned loudly and he
ordered her to stop the noise She groaned
again, but not so loud and then he pulled her
from under the bed and knocked her around
the hall with the broomstick. Then picking
her up from the floor he threw her on mat
tress in the corner. He then picked up the
covers and, throwing them over her head,
held them down tight for several minutes.
AS he removed the covers he slapped her on
both sides of the face He ran wildly down
the cellar muttering to himself. Returning.
with the shovel he struck my sister four or
five times about the face and body until at
last the shovel broke, or he would have killed
LoTTIE outright. The reason we said nothing
about the hard treatment was because we
were afraid he would kill u.s.
Such scene as that occurring in the
heart of a great city is q mockery OF our
civilization. Of course it eXcites exclama-
tons of horror wherever told, but this lit
tie bruised and manned child has died in
vain if her death provokes nothing more
than a passing and perfunctory pity. In
dignation and sentiment cannot call back
her soul that has been sobbed forth to its
Maker, but organized charity might save
from just such a horrible death hundreds
of other children who are victims to the
brutality of cruel parents and guardians.

ing,

THE REBELLION COLLAPSE.

RIEL's capture virtually ends the North
western rebellion, and the Dominion govern
ment is to be congratulated that it was
brought to such sudden termination. Gen.
MIDDLETON proved to be the right man In
the right place, and he has the singular
honor of being the only English commander
who has distinguished himselfin the numer-
GUS military operations that the British
government has been engaged in this sea-
son. Of course we do not include poor
GORDON, whose tragic death cast a gloom
over the whole world. The folly of the
rebellion is now apparent to the half-breeds
and to their sympathetic friends who en-
couraged them to enter upon it. 1t ought
to have been as clear as the monday sun
that no practical good was to be accom-
plished by taking up arms against the
constituted authorities of the Cana
dian government. Conceding that the
half-breeds had been dealt with I'M
Justly and that they had every cause
for complaining or even just ground for a
revolution, still the disparity of numbers
ought to have impressed them with the
folly of undertaking to fight the whole Do
minion of Canada, backed as it was by the
power of the British government. Perhaps
the half-breeds are not so much to blame
as pretended friends who had other designs
and who wished to use them as lever to
work their selfish purposes. But be this as
it may, the rebellion is virtually at an end.
The half-breeds can now return to their
peaceful pursuits, and the Canadian gov
eminent should be magnanimous in proyid-
ing them with every right and privilege
that Justice dictates. The rebel chieftain
will have to abide the consequences of his
crime, yet it would be generous thing in
the government to grant him a reprieve,
and endeavor to make useful citizen out
of a daring brigand.

the Manitoba line will cross the st. PaulC&
Northern Pacific near Smelling avenue.
This will necessitate the stopping OF the
trains on the latter line every time they
cross the track of the former according to
the state laws, while this short extension
will only be used about two weeks in the
year. 1t has been generally supposed that
owing to the friendly relation existing be-
tween the st. Paul & Northern Pacific and
Manitoba roads that the latter would use
the track of the former to the fair grounds,
which is through st. Anthony Park, and
the property outside of the fair grounds,
which will become quite valuable land
which is so now would not be cut up by so
many railroad tracks. 1t is likely that some
trouble will be caused by the alleged viola
ton of the Agricultural associations agree
ment.

R1EL,s NODE OF WARFARE.

The shalf-breed campaign was badly
managed from a frontier point of view.
Their first movement before the troops
could arrive in the field would have been to
capture all of the posts, secured stock OF
provisions, arms and ammunition and effected
junction with PoUNDMAKER and BRAVE
BEAR. when they would have constituted a
formidable force, or on the contrary to have
broken up into scouting bands and have
harassed the troops by cutting off detach-
ments and intercepting the supply trains.
When hard pressed they could find ample
protection in the Businesses OF the country,
with which they are thoroughly acquainted
and with which the troops are not. BY
maintaining this sort of warfare, they
might have made terms with the govern
ment. Now they must accept whatever
terms are offered them, however harsh
they may be. 1t yet remains
for the government to coerce the hostile In
dams into submission. PoUNDMAKER and
BRAVE BEAR ought to be held to strict
accountability for the women misused and
the children and non-combatants mas
sacred. 1t doesn't matter what the usageS
of Indian warfare are, these chiefs should
be held responsible for all offenses without
the pale of humanity. 1t would be whole
some discipline to punish these chiefs
severely. And if REL and his advisers
shall be found guilty of melting the Indians
to inaugurate their peculiar methods OF
warfare they too should be punished. And
hanging would not be too harsh for them.
But if they have pursued an honorable war
fare for their rights they should be dealt
with leniently. just what to do with REL
is the problem which will now confront the
Dominion government 1t is substantially
the problem that our own government
had to deal with when it captured JEFF
DAVIS and may be dealt with in the same
manner. In his case, as in the case of the
Confederate president, there will be one
faction clamoring for his blood and another
for treating him with the generosity that
conquerors can alone afford to indulge in.
But as for the generality of the half-breeds
there is but one wise policy to pursue, and
that is to grant them their landed rights re-
CARELESS of their political offenses. This
should have been done long since, then
there would have been no blOodshed and no
Indian trouble, although the red men them
selves have hardly had fair treatment at the
hands of the government.

Winchester's Winnings.

We will never know exactly how much Mr..
Boyd Winchester, the champion poker player
of Kentucky, has been accustomed to make
every year by playing poker. 1t is certainly
more than $1,000, and, of course there is no
foreign appointment with a salary of that
amount which could induce him to leave Ken
lucky. But SIS, 600 has fetched him. He will
now be minister and consul general to Switz-
erland for $1,000 every year. His poker in
come must be somewhere between these two
figures. Henry Watterson and the star
eyed goddess probably know to dollar, but
the chances are that they wont tell.

There is charming modesty quite charac-
teristic of Mr.. Blaine and his friends, the SEN
ators from Maine, displayed in the deterlni-
nation of these gentlemen to keep control of
the postofice at Augusta under a Democratic
administration. In their opinion Mr.. Morton,
the Democratic candidate for the place, is an
offensive partisan, inasmuch as he worked
against Blaine last fall, while Mr.. Manley, the
present incumbent, deserves to be retai1ed,
having Travelled with the circus on the western
circuit and done all in his power to defeat
Cleveland. The political consistency of these
great men of Maine is almost equal to their
mOdeSty.

TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS.
Traffic Last Week Shows am In
crease Over the Preced-
ing Week.


ing Week.
Traffic last week over the lines i'm and
out Of st. Paul and Minneapolis showed an
increase over that for the preceding week,
and equalled that for the same week last
year. 1t can be easily seen that business
has been improving steadily, and on most
of the lines it will continue to increase for
the next few weeks OF traffic from the
East into the city there was falling off,
owing to the restoration of west-bound
rates to tariff from the 10-cent rate on all
clasSifications. Otherwise the weeks traffic
by the Eastern trunk lines would have ex-
ceeded that for the week before by about
half. The low rates, while in effect. did
more serious damage to the ST. Paul & Du-
luth road than, perhaps, any other. Ship
pers in the East shipped largely and eX-
hausted their supply, and the result is that
the boats arriving at Duluth from Buffalo,
are without any freight for ST. Paul &
Duluth points On this road last week very
little was moving At this time of year the
road has to depeud on the handling of flour
and wheat to Duluth, but the price of wheat
has gone up, and flour remains unchanged.
and, with high tariff rates and low prices,
the consequence is that the road has to ex-
list on its local business. Wheat, mer-
chandise, agricultural implements, emf
grant movables and cattle constituted the
traffic of the Manitoba road, which exceeded
last weeks business about 10 per cent. The
Northern Pacifc's business also increased
last week
OVER THE PRECEDING WEEK
by about 20 per cent. This road is doing a
heavy business in the Transporting of cattle
to Montana. The company received word
yesterday that in the next three months
over 40, 600 head Of stock would be shipped
from, Washington territory to Mon
tana. So far this season the
company has handled close on to 300
head, and before it is over it expects to take
west about 10000, or an amount nearly
equal to that of last year. Shippers COM

business very much. There is no need Of
them being afraid though,a there is no delay
to cattle that are not diseased, as they are
inspected while feeding. Merchandise is
