THE STRIKE SPREADS.
The Boycott, Ordered by President
Debs, Against Pullman Sleep
ers Generally ObeYed.

From almost every portion of the
American railway world comes
news of an alarming spread of the
strike, ordered by president Debs,
of the American Railway union, on
all roads, the management of
which persist in handling Pull
man Sleepers. The claim is made
by the railroads, however, that the
strike movement will eliminate to,
day, and that that the lessening of
yesterdays Sundays traffic will
enable them to effect an efficient
organization of their forces, by to-
day Upon the other hand it is
claimed that Sunday rest will turn
loose thousands of workmen in
other lines and there are fears that
the action of some few hot head
ed men will result in great disas-
ter.
The situation at Chicago, is per
haps, more serious than at any
other northern or western city, and
was reported as decidedly worse
yesterday. The Rock Island rail
way, which had been free from dis
turbance up to yesterday, is now
completely tied up in all the ada
cent territory. The stock yards, so
far as its receiving and distributing
interests are concerned, are practi-
cally at a standstill, stopping the
movements of dressed meats out
ward and live stock inward. The
Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne road is
severely crippled in its terminals,
and the Illinois Central suburban
service, which carries more people
to and from business in Chicago
than any other line, is completely
tied up The Chicago and Eastern
Illinois is badly blocked and the
other roads which use the Chicago
and Western Indiana railway as
terminal are suffering because of
the strike on that line. These
roads are the Erie, the Chicago and
Grand Trunk, the Santa Fe and the
Wabash The Michigan Central
and Michigan Southern are suffer
ing from delays because they use
the Illinois Central and Rock Island
tracks for entering the city. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
is having great difficulty in moving
its trains and like the Wisconsin
Central is under the band of the
A. r. U. The Chicago and North
western reports that IL IS receiving
and dispatching its trains with usu
al regularity. A like condition is
reported very generally through
the West, No lifting of the boy
colt is mentioned anywhere, while
numerous additions to its effective
ness are chronicled. At st. Louis
the terminal association which does
the switching on all the roads is
tied up and business is at a stand
still There is no improvement in
the situation at st. Paul or Mime
apolis, while matters are worse at
Denver The outlook at Cincinnati
is threatening.

CHAIRMAN WILSON ON TARIFF.
The Author of the Tariff Bill Expects
1t to Pass the Senate
Tomorrow.


The almost incalculable number
of mistaken phrophecies and err
roneous predictions on the result of
tariff legislation in the Senate has
made skeptics of even the warmest
supporters of that measure and
prepared disappointed public to
scoff at any and all prognostica-
lions of this character on SO doubt
full subject in the hands of the
most dilatory of all law making
bodies.
The return of Chairman Wilson
to Congress has already resulted in
definite understanding among his
fellow members of the House com
mittee on ways and means as to the
essential features of how the bill
is to be handled when the same
shall have been returned to the
House.
There has been no formal meet
ing of the committee as yet and no
resolution defining the programme
has been passed, but the plan of
procedure is not the less definitely
understood The bill will be sent to
conference without any effort to
secure an agreement in whole or in
part in the House The feeling is
so strongly toward standing by the
Wilson bill and resisting the pro
tective encroachments made by the
Senate that the most influential
members of the committee say the
Wilson bill in its substantial and es-
sential features will be the rock on
which the committee will plant it.
self with the House behind it. This
feeling has found expression in GER
tain personal appeals to Mr., Will
son. His associates have said to
him that an opportunity offered to
few public men was now offered to
him. This opportunity was to
stand by the Wilson bill, as against
the Senate amendments. 1t has
been pointed out that state and To-
cal conventions have in their plat
forms and resolutions severely ar
raigned the Senate and have ex-
pressed a preference for the Wilson
bill as it left the House. This and
the attitude of the press and public
has been presented as amounting to
a public demand, as well as a per-
sonal opportunity for standing by
the Wilson bill, While Mr.. Wilson
has given no public expression in
this line, one of his associates on
the committee says that it has
made due impression upon the
chairman, This member added
that the sentiment was practically
unanimous in this line The first
meeting of the committee will be
held about the middle of this week.
Should the Senate pass the tariff
bill, as promised, tomorrow, the
next day being the Fourth would
not permit action by the committee.
Hence Thursday is set apart as the
day upon which the committee will
meet, for formal action on the Sen
ate measure. 1t has been announ-
ced, by those interested that every
effort would be made to expedite
the committee stages of the measure
and the opinion was expressed that
it would not take more than day
or two before the formal disagreem-
ent and submission to the conferen-
ce would be effected.

The Oath and the 'Tiser-


with a deep-feIt degree Of perfect
appreciation. Mr.. Armstrong
tells Us that an oath. and more
especially a political oath TO a
republic. Ike the one existing
under the sway of the present
fashionable Dolores is OF NO
account whatever and is not q
matter Of conscience, but Of con-
venience.
The following paragraph proves
conclusively the principle under
which the government supporting
onth takers work.
"Galileo had a good working
conscience when be took. under
force, the oath to the church,
that the earth was f4t, and, at
the same time, whispered to his
friends. It's round, all the
same.
II is evident that certain fore
igners. troubled with q con-
sc'euce which according to I'D
rertiser ethics is unhealthy have
refused to take the oath to the
republic and thereby placed the
power that be in sad dilemuna.
1t is a pity, but it is fact that
three of the most valued teachers
of thes Fort Street School have
refused to be recommissioned on
the swearing" condition. The
teachers referred to are women.
Among the many blunders of the
constitution makers was the
demand that women in the employ
Of the government must take the
oath although no right are grant
ed them besides drawing paltry
salary for which they give value
to the utmost limit.
The Advertiser advises these
ladies to bury their conscience
and take any amount of oaths.
Conscience according to Mr..
Armstrong is a very elastic affair
and the conscience of the majority
is far better and of higher stand
ing than the one OF q minority. We
adopt his theory. He illustrates
it in the following 9anner;
'It was my conscientious duty
to stir up slave insurrection in
Virginia. said old John Brown.
at is my conscientious duty to
hang you for it, said the Gov
ernor of Virginia. Both con
sciences were hard at work, but
the conscience of the majority
had its own way. as it usually
does. even if it be quite wrong
Ii that is correct then the i'd
rsrtiser has proven beyond doubt
why people troubled with
conscientious scruples should not
take the oath. The people of
Hawaii is in the majority. The
republic is in the minority. The
conscience of the majority viii
have its own way says the Id
uertiser. Right you are, Moses"
say we. and we are the people.
The concluding lines of the
Adrertiser editorial is most re-
freshing jas coming from a
Christian journal. The mis-
sionary element must indeed
have been eliminated from the
editorial room of the .idaertiser
or the following lines would
never have been ponned:
If the old martyrs, who were
burned at the stake for righteous
ness sake. were to return 10 life.

We cannot follow DR.. Newman through that
portion of his interesting narrative which sets
forth the growth Of the Baptist denomination In
the American colonies up to the Revolutionary
war, and which portrays the schisms and vicis-
STUDIES encountered during tho century that
has elapsed since the establishment Of our Fed
eral Constitution. For the treatment Of these,
which are really the principal aspects OF bis
theme. we must refer the reader 10 the book IT.
self. We will merely note in conclusion that
while from the beginning there have been diff
ferences and secessions. yet, on the whole, no
large Protestant denomination in the United
States has suffered less from a lack Of harmony
In doctrine and practice than have the Baptists.
This can be made patent by statistics. or the

cants in the United States. 4.o04.01e. or one

moro than 4,b6o, 900 are antipedopaptists and
immersionists. This estimate takes no &C
count of Christadelphians, Plymouth Brcth-
rem, and United Brethren. and so IL
within the mark. Tho figures are from
the census reports Of 1890. We may look at
the facts In another way. which will mako the
growth Of the denomination seem even moro In
teresting. During the century ending with
1890. the population Of the United States in
creased from 3,e39.214 TO about 63. 900. 900. or
about sixteen fold. During the same period. the
Bsptists increased from 65,345 to 3,717,a69, or
moro than nfty-six fold. II other antipedobap-
lists and immersionist parties were considered.
the rate Of Baptist increase would be consider
ably larger. Thus It appears that, from 100 to
1890. Baptists have Increased nearly four times
Is fast as the population. 1t must also be borne
in mind that Baptists have gained far less from
immigration than almost any other of the
larger denominations. Roman Catholics, Luth-
Grams, Reformed, Presbyterians, and Episco-
palians have profted largely by the great influx
of population from Ireland, Germany. England.
Scotland. Italy, and the Scandinavian and Sla-
vonic countries Of Europe. Baptist immigra-
ton has been Insignificant In comparison.
