DIXON ON THE STRIKE.
The Noted New York Divine Takes
"the Strike" For his
Text

Yesterdays dispatches, from New
York, announce that the noted di-
vine, Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr., who
takes his Sabbath Sermon text
from current events of the proceed
ing week, made the present strike
situation the theme of his Sunday
mornings discourse, at the Asso-
citation hall, in that city, on the
previous day. His utterances, on
the subject chosen, are reported as
follows
This great uprising of the labor
ing classes, which had cost the
country $1O,OOO,OOO and was likely
to cost $5,OOO,OOO more, had its
origin in great injustice perpe-
trated by somebody 1t was i'm
possible to imagine the laborers,
after enduring the miseries conse-
quent on the depression of the
present year, leaving their work
shops unless there was injustice
somewhere. Three lessons, howev-
er, had been learned by the strik-
ers:
First, that the railroad manag-
ers were utterly incapable to handle
the railroads the moment the strike
was precipltated; second, that mad
violence and disorder would under
no circumstances be tolerated by
the American people; third, that
the national government alone has
the power to break such a strike
and raise the railroad blockade,
from which follows a logical con-
clusion that the national govern
ment should own the railroads of
the country, The railroads were
built strictly for the accommodate
ton of the public and neither labor
leader nor railroad manager should
have the power, nor be permitted
to interfere, with the public rights.
If the national government owned
the railroads it would be high trea-
son for any one to dare to do such
thing. The strike had made newt
able the government ownership of
the railroads in the future. Had
not their mismanagement by the
corporations already brought the
matter to the notice of the coun-
try, then the cost of traffic will be
half what it is at present and the
Country will never again be paralyz-
ed by conflicts like that of the past
week.

Kill the Bill.

1t is the plan of the government to
make the revenue derived from postage
pay the expense of the mail depart
msnt and no more. Because of the
financial depression the last year the
revenue for this branch has fallen be-
low expenses. and to make up the
deficit an attempt is being made in
congress to increase postage on second
class matter including newspapers,
magazines, periodicals and books
issued in serial form seyen cents per
pound. As all such literature is being
published now at the lowest price
possible the addition of seven cents
per pound would compel the publishers
to increase their prices and the large
class of readers who got all their read
ing matter through mail would either
have to bear the burden or do without
literature. Special legislation has al
ready been enacted in favsr Of cities
having free delivery at an expense Of
$12, 900, 900 annually to the govern
ment people not having the service as
sisting in footing the bill. and the
present measure would be further
class legislation. Colorado's senators
and representatives, are appealed to to
look out for the interests of their
constituency.
