THE SABBATH AND ITS NEWS
PAPER.


The LEADER does not share the san
guine hope that the world is going to be
saved by the newspapers; neither does it
fear that it will de damned by them. On
the average they pretty fairly reflect it as
it is; and we see nothing specially hopeful
or alarming in the Sunday paper that we
do not see in the issue Of any other day in
the week.
When one notes the origin Of the Sab
bath, studies the attitude Of the bible in
regard to it. aud follows its history down
through the church. the day becomes one
Of the rare curiosities Of superstition. Let
us then look at the Sabbath a little, for
the facts concerning it ought to help the
solution Of what has come to be the Sun
day newspaper question.
The day is ages older than the jewish
people or the book Of Genesis. There is
no rational doubt that it originated in
Sabaism or planet worship. 1t is found
among the Acadians, a Turanian people
who occupied the valley Of the Euphrates
long before Babylon became a city. If
strictness and severity are tests of good
ness, there was a time when the old
pagan Assyrians were better Sabbath
keepers than any Jew or Christian has
ever been since. Even their king was
forbidden to eat cooked food, to change
his clothes, to take medicine, though i'll,
or even to engage in worship. As near
as possible to do nothing at all was the
only thing one was permitted to do on the
Sabbath in those good old times"
The.day did not then originate with the
bible, and no special command is given
therein to keep it. One or two reasons for
keeping il are given in the old testament,
one being the childish one that God rest
ed. as if tired out, after the six days
work Of creation. In the new testament
Jesus Himself fatty contradicts that state
ment; though even if He did not science
does; for it demonstrates the f.ct that the
creative work is going on to-day as much
as ever. and has always been going on.
And then the Jewish Sabbath, according
TO the best Jewish scholarship. was no
more like the one that New England has
tried to support on divine authority. than
Easter is like the fourth Of July.
AL the way down through the history
Of the early church there is clearly seen
An endeavor on the part Of the Christian
leaders to discourage what they regarded
as the Sabbath superstition Of the Jews.
St Cyril. jerome, Luther, Calvin. Tyudale
and others are one on this point. They all
declare the Sabbath a matter of church
custom and convenience. and no part Of
any religious or moral law. Sunday, as
New England has known it. was an insti-
tuition nnheard Of in either Jewish or
Christian history until the time of Puri-
tanism in England. However good a
thing the Christian Sabbath may be, let
US at least tell the truth about it; and If
We wish to keep il let US rest it on the
ioundation.on which, it belongs, so we may
avoid confusion Of mind and thought
while we peruse the Sunday newspaper
or listen TO a lecture from our favorite
preacher.

SECRETARY LAMAR, it is said favors
the appointment Of receiver for the Union
Pacific, owing to the bad condition Of the
affairs Of that company. The original
debt Of s64, 623. 5l2 has increased to 1885,
100000 by the failure to pay interest, and
toe old plea for an extension Of time is
made. President Adams contends that,
under the Thurman act, the company has
over SC. DOC. 900 Of its surplus locked up
in a sinking fund which pays only 21-5
per centum a year. aud over 1900. 900 in
the hands of trustees Of the land grant
mortgage, which can only be applied to
the purchase of land grant bonds. Under
these circumstances il would seem neces-
ssry to perpetrate some more legislation
to put the road in n condition TO pay what
il owes the government.

TRADES UNIONS OFF ANCIENT
AND MODERN TIMES

In England the trades unions are incor-
porsted and fully recognized societies. and
arbitration on 4 most intelligent system
has taken the place Of assault, assassina-
ton and property destruction. The rccip-
rocL int rest Of labor and capital is con
eeded more and more. There is nothing
dreamy or theoretical about this. 1t is
not a vapid. sociological experiment like
those Of Owen and Brisbane. A labor
union may become foe to the working
man; It will become such whenever the
activities engender arrangement between
capital and llor. A proper organs ,tion
with wholesome laws and strict adherence
by the members to the principle and be-
hests Of their order, will ever be a bless
ing TO the men who labor for their daily
bread.
Trades unions are not Of modern
growth The most elaborate system er-
sted 10 Rome before the Christian era.
We read OF Tarquin the Proud revising
the trades unions laws. and of their re-
formation under Augustus. In Constan.
tine's tune there were forty or fifty trades
organized under the Roman Laws and re.
eognired by the government. Their
society funds were immense; domains were
constantly added to their property; the
state made large grants, as when Theo
dosins gave a great estate to the lime
burner union, and the property was in
aliensble. But these unions were sub
sidired and fattened by the government to
prevent discomfort and disturbance. Such
al alliance or recognition is by no means
desirable, but the official recognition of
labor organizations which obtains in Eng
land, and which has swept way the
brutal characteristics ofthe trades unonism
OF forty years ago, and has almost abolish
ed strikes in the heaviest industries by the
substitution Of arbitration. Is certainly
worthy OF consideration as a solvent Of a
problem which has given much anxious
thought to rejecting minds. There is
noae OF the atmosphere Of Utopis in this
process There is progress from Utopian
dreaming to the possible and the practical
