A oLEAR EXPLANATION.

A Detroit wholesale house sent an
agent into one of the Northern counties
the other day to investigate and report
on the failure of dry-goods man whose
assets were below zero. The bankrupt
was perfectly willing to explain how it
all happened.
"You see," he said, 81 got married
about two years ago. Up to- that time
the postmaster and his wife had been at
the head of society here, and run the
ranch. He had the only swallow-tailed
coat and she the only silk dress in
town."

The Simple and Great issue Involved In
the Strike

With hardly an exception, the leading
newspapers of the country have treated
this unexpected strike on the New York
Central as unjustifiable. 1t was due to
the intervention of outsiders, and not to
any uprising of the employees, who were
more than satisfied with the Just and
liberal treatment they had received, and
who remembered that in 1877, when an
epidemic of strikes, attended with arson
and blOOdshed, and great losses of prop
erty, swept across the country, the EN-
ployees of the Central, for the most part,
remained loyal and faithful to just and
generous management, and were re-
warded with gift of 100000 from Will
liam II. Vanderbilt, whose benefits are
still enjoyed by them.
They know that the same policy has
ever since controlled the road, and that
the humblest employees have had the
chance to state all their grievances, and
that it has been the continuing policy of
the management of the corporation to
make all the men in its employ feel that
their interests and rights were consulted
and that their pay would be as liberal as
the corporation could make it, con-
sistently with the rights and interests of
stockholders.
The great question underlying all this
grave and needless disturbance of the
business of the cOuntry--it is felt more
or less all over the land-is as to whether
or not the Knights of Labor shall control
the running of the New York Central.
That is the whole controversy in nut
shell, and the issue Is single, simple and
clear as sunlight.
An old member of this Order, dis
gusted with the policy of arbitrary inter
vention, well says that there is not a set
of railroad men in the country more
loyal to their employees if left to them
selves than the New York Central Rail
road men, and with good reason, for the
Office of the president is always open
to the poorest employee of the road for
the statement of any grievance. But
neither Mr.. Depew, Mr.. Vanderbilt nor
Mr.. Toucey will talk to their employees
through an attorney or a mouthpiece
appointed by the Knights of Labor.

Your "terrapin" is all in my eye, very

luxury of my life is in breakfasting every
Sunday morning with an orthodox

The editor sat on hard-bottomed
chair trying to think thought, and he
plunged ali his fingers about through his
hair, but not one topic they brought. He
had written on temperance, tariff and
trade, and the prospects of making
crop, and joked about ice cream and
weak lemonade, till his readers had told
him to stop. And weary of thinking,
sleep came to his eyes and he pillowed
his head on the desk, when thoughts
which awake had refused to arise, came
in troops that were strong and gro
tesque. And as the ideas airly float, he
selects the bright one of the tribe; and
this is the gem that while dreaming he

A COMMENDABLE ORDER.

The order prohibiting employees from
indulging in drink or frequenting saloons,
the recent PRONUNCIATION of which by the
management of the Reading railroad was
generally commented upon by temper
ance refOrmers, has been extended to
cover the attaches of the Jersey Central.
Among prominent eastern roads it was
previously in effect on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western and divisions
of the Lehigh Valley. There are some
who regard the order as an unauthorized
attemptat regulating the personal doings
of employees. Yet no one has yet had
the hardihood publicly to deny the right
of any corporation to impose such regu-
latiOns upon those within its employ as
seem warranted by necessities of prompt
and capable service and safety to its
patrons. Unqestionably intoxication and
its allied evils have been potent factors
in many of the enormous railway disas-
ters which have cost untold suffering to
the public and vast financial losses to the
companies. And it is fact which every
one must admit that the dangers of rail
roading require the coolest headed and
steadiest nerved employees. Instead of
being censured for ofiiciousness the
officials who have issued this order de-
serve to be applauded for their wise effort
to insure safety and comfort to their
patrons.
