sECTARIAN VICTORY

1t may be interesting to the readers oil
The HERALD to know what an interest
has been taken in the East in relation to
Utah's education and spiritual culture.
30 we publish the extract below from
the Bridgeport. Connecticut, Standard:
To combat Mormonism in its very
stronghold, there are now, sent out OF
the Christian Churches in the East
hfty-two ministers and us teachers.
The churches already formed are thirty.
four, and the schools are seventy eight.
Including Catholics lS50) and Joseph
ties $3.50, 2.S46 have been gath
cred into the churches, and NOT
much less than 5000 into the Sabbath
schools, and fully 200 into day schools
and the bulk of the children come
from homes which either are or have
been Mormon. Not less than 81 900 o %
have been contributed by the churches
OF the United States to spread the pure
gospel in. Utah. and to redeem the
rising generation from a darkness of
mind that makes Mormonism possible.
And, best of al, omens of spiritual soft
ening and quickening begin to abound.
Never have the Sunday audiences been
so large or so attentive as of late; con-
versions are occurring on every hand;
and IN severalcommunitieseve even revival
interest has been quite general. The
night Is far from over, out the toilers
can catch a few faint CLEANS Of the
dawn.
We would think, since the church is
marching on to such victory in Utah.
the State could afford to be a little
merciful towards the Mormons.

svitchmen of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, struck, and the switchmen
on the Lake Shore line threatened 10
strike to-day.
The street car men have stopped
work because the several companies
have refused to discharge the non-union
workmen, and the switchmen go out for
the same reason. This conduct of the
strikers in trying to dictate who shall not
be employed by these companies is very
questionable. 1t is not like going out
because Of an attempt to reduce wages
that are alrea y too low. Or even like
striking because members Of their order
are Disseminated against. Their suffer
ing will not elicit any sympathy from
the people should it bring distress upon
them, for the justice of their cause is
doubtful, and labor, in its struggle with
capital. would find a vast source of
strength in the support of a wholesome
public sentiment in its favor: but to
have that support from 4 just people
the cause must be just. A strike should
be the last resort Of the workingfnen
against the unjust encroachments of
capital. just as revolution is the last re-
sort for 4 people against oppression;
neither should be engaged in only as
derrier resort. The labor question is
the problem that will plague our states
men for the future.
