strike investigation.

CHICAGO, Aug 27.-The strike com
missioncrs devoted Il large portion of
the session to-day to the examination
of Manager +. +. Bryant of the bank
at Pullman. He was particular to
state that he was not an cmploye of
the Pullman Company, lis the bank
was owned by the Pullman Southern
Car Company; but later he admitted
that the latter company is controlled
10y the Palace Car Company.
Bryant said the capital stock of the
bank was 100000, and in July, 1898.
the deposits amounted to- about SOS
800; 2.l25 Of the depositors we're Pull
man employees, their accounts avcrLg-
ing S2lO. In July. 1891. the deposits
amounted TO Si53,OOO, with only l.4lI
employees accounts. which averaged
$40 each. Witness said the Pullman
workmcn were paid in checks. Each
month they were given two checks,
one representing the amount of rent
due and the other the balance Of their
wages.

company for building cars under con
tract ut the time Of the strike was
about Sl,iOO.OOO. Tho labor would
cost about S3l0.00o. Wickcs admit
ted that on this basis the company
had reduced the receipts $4,000 and
employees wages 100000. This the
Vice-Prcsidcnt said looked hardly
fair, but he thought il much better
than to throw the men entirely out OF
I employment. In answer to the Chair
man, Wic!is said the cut in pay had
been made TO fit the depression in
business and the low selling price OF
cars, and not To stop any cncroachw mi
on the profits paid the stockholders
The surplus OF t25.0OO. 600 undivi led

The real secret Of Pullman's hatred
Of his wo:kmen was their right to
vote as they pleased. He said since
the strike:
Il have done as much for labor ns
any man living. and have always tried
to treat my worliingmcn squarcly.
But | am sick and disgusted at their
treachery. Normally we returned in
Pullman from 1000 to $500 Rcpubli-
can majority. l confidently expected
That we should do as much for Harri-
son. had not the slightest idea that
the majority would fall below 1000 i'll
any event. You may imagine my sur
prise when the returns came in and
Pullman had cast majority OF more
than 2,C00 for Cleveland
Mr.. Pullman's manner become i'm
pressive and he leaned forward and
said slowly and impressively:
Il made up my mind that that was
the last OF my sympathy for working
men. / made up my mind that my
employees in Pullman were not worth
caring for. and that ] would go ahead
and cut wages to the bottom notch
! would get business il business
could bc had. II the working people
Of Pullman wanted to vote against
their own interests and against my
interests made up my mind that
they could take the conseques ces.
Now let us see how they like it.
Thea the true cause of the rcduc-
tion Of wages was not the loss suffered
by the company in taking contracts
below the actual cost of the work to
to he done in order that the laborers
might not be idle. but because they
exercised the rights of American
citizens and cast their ballot against
the Republican party in 1892. For
this independence in exercising their
GOd-given rights, the wages of the
Pullman workmen are reduced and
their families brought to the verge oi
| starvation.

The Philadelphia Press has collected
the returns of the late election. The ag-
gregate shows that 11,263,377 ballots
were cast and counted. The figures for
the two missing States, Nevada and Flor
ida, would easily bring this up to II $780,
600. This is an enormOcs aggregate vote.
1t explodes the claim that the verdict of
the country was the result of indiffer-
ence, for never before was vote approx
imating that of Nov, 9th been cast in an
off-year election. The total vote in the
hotly contested Presidential election of
1892 was 12,034, ,S5S, SO that this years
record falls not short of it, OF the H.
263,377 ballots accounted for, 5,5SS, 1926
we're cast by republicans, 4, 14S, ,45G by
Democrats, 1,246,752 by Populists and
2l9,S43 by Prohibiti0nists. 1t is fact of
the utmost significance that the Republi-
can strength shows an absolute increase
from 5,175,202 in 1892 to 5,5SS, 1926 this
year-a gain of 4l3, PA That is not only
the largest vote which the Republican
party ever poled, but it is the largest
vote which was ever polled by any po-
litical party in the history of this coun-
try. In the Democratic Landslide"
year of 1892, the Democratic vote which
made Mr.. Cleveland President was 5,554,
226. The Democratic plurality that year
over the Republicans was 379,625. The
total Republican vote this year is "a, 100
higher than the high-water Democratic
vote of 1892, and the Republican plural
ity is ,430,S7O, or 1,O6O,S45 greater than
the DemOcr~ tic plurality in the year
when the Democrats captured the Presi-
dency and Congress.

A public school teacher told contem-
porary the other day, referring to Christ
mas, that out of the twenty-five children
in her class whom she questioned before
vacation only two knew anything of the
religious Significance of the festival of
Christmas. They understood, she said,
all about the story of Santa Claus, and
most of them had outgrown their belief
in him. OF the story of the Christ child
they knew nothing whatever. Christmas
meant only to them holiday time for
hanging up stockings and receiving pres
ents. Many of them showed a certain re-
sentiment at having been deceived in re-
gard to Santa Claus, and the reason why
gifts were given as being symbolic of the
gift of Christ to the world never entered
their minds. Certainly, it seems a great
pity that so much time is spent by par
ents in teaching the Santa Claus fiction
which must so soon be given up, while
the great religious story which is the
same to the adult as to the child, is so
sadly neglected, This incident shows the
folly of education without religious
teaching.

''ro Senator Villas would be intrusted

consectatiOn. Secretary Gresham would
take charge of Queen Lips photograph
on Mr.. Cleveland's dressing table and
put the official copy of Admirable Walk
er's repOrtwhere it would be certain to
be destroyed by the flames. Dan La
mont's duty would consist in rescuing
the Presidents favorite book of quota
ions, and Secretary Carlisle would at
tend to the removal of articles of value
from the cellar. The massive Mr.. Bissell
would move the furniture and Don Dick
inson would be relied upon to carry the
Presidents fountain pen to place Of
safety. The bundle of letters of congrat-
ulatiOn from the Golden Club would be
intrusted to the care of Mr.. William Lon
don Wilson, while Mr.. Olney would take
charge of the Presidents game bag and
diary.

fashion. AS soon as the President gets

Christ begins His mission of salvation
at Bethlehem with His very birth. His
school is stable, His chair is a manoer.
dis lessons, ah, here is where the wis
dom seems truly infinite, His lessons are
His sutferings, His humiliation, His
nakedness, His very silence. Lessons all
powerful, lessons all ef1icacious.
Thou, too, o Christ, in the manger.
impartest to us the radiance of thine own
glory, from out Thy countenauce we see
the flow of divine mercy and love for
those for whom Thou hast descended So
lowly. Thou hast alleviated sorrow bv
Thine own share in it. Surely, unto us
Thou must be God, Christ, Saviour,
King, yea, King of Kings.
Oh, my friends, how can we but 20
ana surround Bethlehem's crib? Yes, we
shall 90 there and find in Christs mercy
and love for us, His lesson of humility
and suffering. We shall behold Him
with respect and emotion most holy, as
we contemplate Him this morning in the
mystery OF the Incarnation. We shall
BILE our self-cOnceit, abjure our vain
knowledge, and adore the Word of God
made Flesh. Like the shepherds we shall
render homage to Him who in return
Will I'LL us with holy joy, and lifting

The Republican party does not apollo
gize or retreat, says the New YORK Press.
1t never passed a Fugitive Slave law.
1t never proclaimed that the State was
greater than the Nation, and that the
Federal Government was powerless to
maintain the unity of the American Re-
public. 1t never pronounced the war for
the Union a failure. 1t never asserted
that the national debt could not be paid.
1t never declared that protection to the
industries of American citizens was un-
constitutional. Each of these positions
has been assumed by the Democratic
party. 1t has formally retreated from
every one of them except the last, and it
is now getting ready to run away from
that.
