The strike of the engineers on the Chi
cage. Burlington & Quincy railroad ex-
tends to the entire system and is assum-
ing formidable proportions. The action
of Mr.. Powderly in commanding the
Knights of Labor to Glands off, and let
the engineers win if they can, invests the
situation with special interest. The
Knights are in sympathy with the en-
gineers, no doubt, but there has never
been any concert of action between the
two organizations in complications with
employers; in fact this is the first serious
bout the engineers have ever had that we

will be cannot be told just now. If not

SUCCESSFUL JOURNALISM.

Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, who has made
the New York World the phenomenal
success that it is everywhere recognized
to be. in AN interview the other day at
San Diego said, in answer to the ques-
ton: What is the most valuable es-
sential quality in successful journalism
Character, honesty of purpose, and an
utter fearlessness in doing right. With
this character, backed by brains and the
necessary energy, man cannot fail OF
course there must be the editorial mind. ;
but knowledge of speculative business is
by no means necessary. In fact great
editor should never in any manner be con
nected with speculative enterprises. His
voice and opinion should be above the in
fuence of selfish or personal motives His
only personal motive indeed should be to
represent the interests Of the whole peo-
pie. In short the power of great news
paper should be held as a publit trust and
be exercised as such, and for no other pur-
pose"

Whether there is ever practical unity
of the church militant short of the
dawning of the millenial tide, it is a
source of qualification to the Christian
world to see that it is nearing common
center of purpose, i. e., the christianiz-
ing of mankind. In letter of recent
date to the Rev. Dr.. S. D. Mcconnell, of
Philadelphia, Protestant Episcopalian,
the Rev. Professor John Dewitt of Lane
Theological seminary, makes the practi-
cal suggestion that as a means of pro-
noting the movement for organic church
unity, the next general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal church might well
SO amend its book of canons as to make
it lawful for its ministers to invite the
ministers of churches not having 'the
