WASHINGTON. APRIL 10, 1886.
THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.

Mr.. Jay Gould made the following
statement on Saturday:
"The Missouri Pacific Road, during the
past week has done twenty per cent. more
business than before the strike, with
twenty-five per cent reduction in the pay
roll II seems 10 me as though there had
been a good deal Of soldering therein the
old DAYS. Since the great Wabash strike
the payroll Of that road has been reduced
$4,000 per month, while the business OF
the company remains the same. | shall not
recede one hairs breadth from the stand
which have taken"
We assume this statement to be true,
and not made in mere spirit of bragga-
docio or for the purpose of misleading
the public. 1t signifies good deal:
First that the strikers on the Gould
system have not succeeded In what they
set out to do.
Second, that II the roads, with a re.
duced force, are able to accommodate
an increased demand on their trans
portation facilities, the striking EN-.
ployes are in the same proportion
worse off than they were before.
Third, that these conditions have
been brought about independently of
arbitration or compromise, and through
the sheer main strength of the Missouri
Pacific corporation.
Fourth, that the Knights of Labor
have not as yet an organization effect
i've enough to prevent the railroads
from running their trains for more than
few days at time.
Fifth, that the essential differences
between the railroads and their en-
ployes are as far from adjustment as
ever and the controversy remains just
what 1t was--a contest between two
forces of which the stronger, whether
the better or not, is certain to prevail.
1t will thus be seen that no legisla-
tion which does not begin at the bot.
tom of the trouble and build up, will
be worth the paper 1t is written on.
Hence the necessity Of thorough work
on the part of Governor Curtin's In.
vestigating Committee, which is to be-
gin this week with Master Workman
Powderly and Mr.. Jay Gould.
1t Is well for the corporations In the
meantime to bear in mind that because
the present strikes are failure in tht
sense that they have not forced Goult
into concessions, this is no sign tina
the great battle is ended, or that will
better organization the next outset ma,
not put the traffic of the country to
greater and more disastrous strain.
1t is likewise we'll for the Knights o
Labor to carefully consider that wha
is popularly called public opinion is il
many respects akin to private interest
The people at large are no doubt sym
pathizers with the wage-workers rathe
than with the capitalists, but once thei
pocket nerve is touched their sympa
thies invariably follow their interests
and against this force, which is pei
emptory and unyielding, no strike ca
expect to make much headway. 7
stop the transportation Of the countr
would necesstate measures of relief o
the part of the General Governmer
centralizing and despotic in the e'
treme How to avoid such necessity
and at the same time meet the just dt
mands of the workingmen, is the mo
serious and complicated question {
the day.

POPE LEO'S NEW PORTRAIT.
A Young Irish Artist, Harry Thad-
deus, Produces Fine Work,
From the Ne1o YORK. Kerazd.

From the Ne,o York Herald.
LONDON, July 6.-Harry Thaddeus, the
young Irish artist whose portraits OF the
Able List, De BraZza and other celebri-
ties have been attracting much attention
in London this week, is now privately ex-
hiDiting striking hte-siZe portrait of
Pope Leo XIII. He painted it this spring
at the Vatican, where His Holiness gave
sittings-priyileges which he has rarely
granted.
GOOD PICTURE.
l called at the artists studio in South
kensington to see the picture, which will
shortly be exhibited in the States. The
Pope has often been painted, but never, l
believe, in so natural and unaffected
pose as the one chosen by Mr.. Thaddeus.
His Holiness is shown seated in his study
preparing one of the admirable Latin en-
cyclicals which have won him the reputa-
ton OF one Of the creates classical scholars
Of his time. He is claG in white. He sits
in his favorite armchair, pen in hand,
with his head bent slightly forward, as
though stening to some literary inspira-
ton. His delicate, intellectual features
are stamped with thought. One hand
droops languidly beside him over the
right knee. The artist has skilltully dis
posed the red drapery. Round the Pom
tiff's neck hangs a golden chain, termi-
mated with a cross.
sKILLFUL DELINEATION.
A white skull cap crowns the wrinkled,
carew worn, lofty forehead. The eyes are
full of life and thought. The mouth, by
far the most conspicuous feature OF Leo
XIII.'s face, has more pleasing and rest
tul expression than it usually wears.
Perhaps, too, more literal painter would
have ahO " the linnR and Wrink lna more.
even though by so doing he might have
detracted from the calm beneyolence so
characteristic of the Pontiff. The artist
shows his illustrious model at his best,
In many ways this portrait is the most
satisfactory yet painted.

WHEN THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN.
The Curtain Rose on the Guberna-
torial Drama Last August.
from Tie A ugitst1 (Gd.l Chr0nic7e.

IOfldl drama Last august
From, the 4 4g1esta (Gd.) Chronicle.
Last July, the writer of this article was
il Atlanta when Gen. Gordon came, as
an ambassador from the State OF New
York, bearing ancient documents rela-
ting to the history of Georgia. Under
ordinary circumstances, the transmission
Of such matter would have beer through
the malls, and no special attention would
have been paid TO it. On the
occasion referred to, it was
dextrOusly managed that the Governor
the Supreme Court, the two houses OF the
Assembly and other eminent persons
were formally and solemnly assembled to
listen to "a speech from Gen. Gordon, who,
according to programme, made a stately
address when presenting these old manu-
scripts. We were 80 impressed with the
Importance given to so ordinary an event
by Gen. Gordon and his friends, that it
flashed upon us instantly how the curtain
mad risen upon GubernatOrlal drama.
We stated these Impressions to some
friends at Atlanta and Augusta, but the
prediction as to Gord0n's contem-
as visionary. 1t was how
ever, a case of roman. Gen. Gordon's
candidacy began last July, when GOV.
Mcdaniel, President Carlton, Speaker
Little, the Supreme Judges and the Legis-
lature were adrotly grouped at the capt.
tot to give a dramatic backing to the.
picture. Jefferson Davis came later, to
complete the panorama and help Gen.
Guruon. 1t must be admitted tnat the
men who moved the machinery were I'M
commonly smart, and that other men,
ordinarily supposed to be sagacious, were
deity used TO complete the transtorma-
tiOn scene. We give this as a bit of his
tory, anent the revelation of the Atlanta
journal and Mr.. Eugene Speer's cOrre-
spondence. Gen. Gordon and his friends
have now and then had some msgivings,
but last July a year ago the campaign
began in the way we nave mentioned.
