THIS is NIGHT.

Now we shall see whether the en-
gineers Or their employees will manage
the great Union Pacific and the great
Wabash Railways. The receiver OF the
latter and the superintendent OF the
former have issued orders for their en-
ployees to accept and handle Burling-
ton freight the same as they do freight
from other railways. The e Is to De no
mincing matters. 1t looks as If the
two companies named had concluded
that inasmuch as they own the prop
ertv and pay the wages, they will
operate their roads and manage their
business in their own way. 1t Is SIN
cerely to be hoped that this is the con-
clusion arrived at, and that they Will
stand by it to the end, let the termlna-
ton be what it may. We are confident
the public will uphold the railways in
this position, and Will put up with the
temporary annoyancs and inconven-
fence which may result in the event OF
a strike by the engineers. The
public is in the habit OF
smypathizing with the right
and the railways are clearly right in re-
tusing to boycott another line at the
dictation OF hired men who have no
more pers ,nal interest il the U. I. or
the WABASH than they have in the q. b.
Il Q and who are liable at any time to
make war against the former as they
are doing sainst the latter.
But it is to be hoped that thee gineerS
will be wise and not strike. The failure
which stages them in the face
in the 20" strk3 should teach
them that when they SO wrong
they vii get the worst Of it. They
are cosging the Burlington lot OF
money, but they are costing themselves
nearly as much, and the railroad can
better afford to loss than the men can.
One hundred dollars to the company is
less than one dollar to the ptor
engineer whose wage is little more than
enough to meet his current bills.
1t SO happens that in both of these
cases the companies have the
support Of the United States
courts for the orders which
they have issued, Judge Gresham, OF
Chicago, having decided that the
Wabash, which is in the hands Of re-
ceiver appointed by the court, cannot
refuse Burlington freight; and Judge
Dundy, of Oneida, having ruled that
the Union Pacific, being a creation OF
Congress must obey the Congressional
law which requires the company to
interchange freight with other reads.

IT IS not often that strike is sue
cessful, but there was one in Boston
which terminated last week in success
The iourneymen il large cigar manu-
factory struck, and the result was the
ruin of the proprietor's business and
his bankruptcy. In this, the strikers
were as successful as they could have
hoped to be. But the victory was even
greater than had teen expected. All
the employees were deprived of work
during the severest weather Of the season,
and are still idle, with little prospect OF
obtaining employment in Boston for
some time. Other manufacturers are
afraid to take them in lest the strikers
will play the same game with them that
they did with their employer whom
they forced into bankruptcy. Many of
the strikers are poor women and child
~en, who were compelled to go out be-
cause some Disconnected men said so.
