The RAILROADS in CONGRESS-. -
The question before congress regula-
ting the railroads of the country, is an
important one, and we are glad to see
that monopolies are being handled
without gloves. The point discussed
10 the Senate yesterday was the dis
elimination of freight and travel
charges shown by railroads against
those towns aud cities through which
the roads passed. as compared with
those located at the termini of the
roads. On this subject Senator Cor
mau said be had 20 question that the
great fortunes Of tens and hundreds
of millions of dollars of men WIN
have been connected with railroad in
terests came from favoritism practice
ed by the railroads. lie believed
the great troubles in the couotry to-
dav cane from railroad favoritism
and discrimination. The undue and
unhealthy accumulation Of wealth by
comparatively few meu was the
result oil railroad extortion and unjust
discrimination. Mr. German would
not do anything that would hurt the
capital invested in railroads. There
were 81 .OOO. 900. 900 invested in rail-
roads IL this country, and anything
that injured railroads injured The
country. But the short-haul princi-
pie should be recognized. There was
no reason Why 10000 900 people
residing within 200 miles Of Wash

A notable instance of the folly and
weakness of certain methods of the
labor organizations is reported from
Paterson, N. j. One of the largest
silk mills 10 that city. regularly en-
ploying twelve hundred operatives,
was visited by a delegate from the
Knights of Labor, who requested the
Superintendent of the mill to make
certain changes in the conduct of a
branch of the business which, it was
claimed, operated to the injury of the
employees. The demand being re-
fused, the labor representative gave
signal, at which every employe
quit work at once and marched out
of The building. The operatives de-
clared that they were satisfied with
their wages, and bad 20 reason for
striking; but they were obliged to
obey the rules of their Order and go
out when commanded. They have
since acknowledged their mistake !,
and asked to be reinstated; but the
proprietor of the mill has replied,
very justly, that men who confessed,
as they did, that they had no griev-
ance, yet submitted to be ordered out
by snap of the fingers. could not
be trusted, and be would not take
them back. Further, he proposes to
shut down bis mill just as soon as

for strikes, now prevalent, appears in
the action af schoolboys in different
cities of the country who have

reason to sustain 1t as maLy of the
strikes of their elders. Ii is time a
