was done and has proved most benefi-
cent To the country, for the elimination
of all that Granger legislation as to rail
road transportation was the Interstate
Commerce law, which proves to be one
of the most fortunate acts OF govern
mental legislation of recent years. This
law is the key TO the situation in the
present great railroad troubles. 1t en-
ables Federal authority to interpose its
power and to bring order and safety
ont of chaos, ruin and danger. The
National constitution guarantees free
dom of trade and intercourse between
the States of the Union. The authority
of a state cannot extend beyond the
the limits of its territory, but the Inter
state Commerce law, made To carry out
the will of the Changers, regulates the
transportation over the whole country,
and thus between the states. 1t is a
United States law, and thus it becomes
the duty of the President TO enforce it
when interference with its provisions
becomes such as to require the exercise
of his authority. The railroad compa-
MES once bitterly denounced the inter
ference of the Grange with the traffic
and conduct of their roads, but in the
end that interference has proved most
benefcent to them, 1t is their haven
of safety in the hour of their extremity.

Mr. Debs and his coadjutOrs under
took too much. They were intoxicated
with their seeming easy success. They
thought they could stop all railroad
traffic, paralyze the business of the
country, starve the people of Chicago,
triumph over law and order, and so
gain "a victory that should rebound to
their own prestige. They had no basis
for their action, and have failed igno-
miniously. What complaint, for in
stance, had the employees of the Grand
Trunk? They went out, and the bust
ness of that great thoroughfare was at
a stand still. Now the same men are
hurrying back and earnestly pleading
to be restored to their former positions.
The chances are that nearly all of them
will fail to get back. Others are already
in their places, and those misguided
men will have to look for work else
where, much to their Inconvenience
and permanent loss. The attempt of
Messrs. Debs ct al. was a desperate
one. The collapse of their scheme will
be final. There is not likely to be an
other such an attempt for many years
to come. They have turned the sober
sense of the country against themselves.
The American people are bound to up
hold the supremacy of their govern
ment against rebellion or anarchy, and
all such fellows as Debs and his ilk have
notice to quit. John Y. McKane and
his gang thought they had a safe thing.
They had set law at defiance so long
that they had no apprehension. Their
immunity for so long time had made
them over confident, and now they are
behind prison bars.

A Chance for the Colored Girl

Wages for domestic service are good
at all times for good service. There is
prospect now that they will be higher
than ever, for time at least. The stop
ping of immigration during the cholera
quarantine will cut off the vast supply
of Irish, German and Scandinavian
hired girls. There is scarcity of satis-
factory domestic help, and there are at
the labor agencies of the immigrant
ports always orders ahead for new girls
on their arrival. These have almost
supplanted the colored domestic serv-
ants of the old time There is an easily
Understandable feud between Irish and
negro.
If now the colored girl is wise she can
step in and regain the lost ground and
fully occupy it. Then, when immigra-
ton starts in again, these, our own Amer
lean citizens, will be the ms, and the
outs cannot displace them. 1t is a fact
that colored servants are more attached
to those whom they work for than the
foreign girls are. They are also more
polite and respectful in their manners.
On the other hand, the colored girl is
apt to be lazier and less clearly than
her white rival, though in both respects
some of the creatures who cross the
ocean in the steerage are hard to beat.
Perhaps freedom has made the colored
woman more industrious and taught
her something of the mysteries of Yankee
neatness. Naturally she is good cook
AT any rate there is great opportunity
now before her, if she has the shrewd-
ness TO see it.

The Right Kind Of Church Union


There is growing conviction among
thoughtful church members that Chris
tianity means nothing less than that
Christians should take hold of the pres
ent sociological problems which disturb
the world and solve them. They believe
that the application Of true Christian
principles to the questions of labor, of
pauperism. crime, ETC.. will settle them
once for all. To this end members of
all denominations they believe should
unite in one grand Christian brother
hood for work.
The nucleus of such noble organiza-
ton Is already formed and is called the
Christian Unity brotherhood. This so
ciety asks that in all the church congre-
nations of America the last Sunday in
October, the Both, be devoted by the
pastors to a sermon on the brotherhood
and cooperation of all Christian people
for one grand. farreaching effort to
make the world better. w. T. Stead,
editor of The Review of Reviews, and
his coadjutor, DR.. Albert Shaw, of the
American edition of The Review of Re-
views, have taken the work earnestly in
hand. In Great Britain Mr. Stead has
given many addresses to the members
and ministers of various denominations
on the furtherance of this work Of the
brotherhood.
The idea is not that any member of a
Christian church should swerve hairs
breadth from his allegiance to his own
denomination, but that all church mem
bers should unite in society for general
and reformatory work on the basis of
the universally recognized principles of
ethics. They are to join hands till, in
the words of the eloquent Bible saying,
1.-THE hearts of all the people were
moved as the heart of one man." Thus
joined they will attack rotten municipal
government, drunkenness, gambling and
other evils.
In several cities of Great Britain
"civic centers" have been formed for
work; also in our own country-in
Washington and Philadelphia. This
brotherhood Of Christian unity will
work valiantly till it turns the slums of
a city into clean, decent, well lighted
streets. 1t will establish public bath
houses and gymnasiums, as well as larger
Fairgrounds for children, with more
parks for both young and old. 1t will
start free newsrooms and move in the
interests of better homes for poor work
ing people, and also for shorter hours of
work for the overburdened. One of its
aims will be the election Of better pub
lie officers. II all this 10 not Christianity,
what IL?

The father of his country knew how
to say no. Some ladies belonging to a
club in Washington have lately un-
earthed number of unpublished letters
of the Washington family. One is from
old Dame Mary Washington herself to
her son George. She tells George she
has the rheumatism; that her house roof
leaks, and that she is coming to the
capital to spend the winter with him.
Georges answer is unique. He writes
back to his mamma that he is sorry she
has rheumatism; that her roof shall be
mended at once; but as to her spending
the winter with him, she can't do it. 1t
would not be agreeable to their guests
to have her eat AT the family table, and
so she would either have to eat at the
servants table or have her meals sent to
her room, and that would not be con-
venient for his wife. Is there in this a
horrid suggestion that the mother of
George Washington ate with her knife?
In any case all must agree with the YER
dict of the lady who read the letter to
the club-that it was pity Washington
had never learned to tell lie.

Look at the Question this Way

Suppose that Congress were TO pass a
law requiring all railroad companies
using Pullman cars to cease operations,
what cry there would be, and justly,
too, of the injustice and arbitrary exer'
else of power!
Such an act would be an attempt to
do by law just what Mr.. Debs and the
American Railway Union have sought
to accomplish against law and against
right and Justice The result in any
case must be the same. Such endeav'
ors must come to grief.
Suppose some people were To tell
fruit grower that if he used certain
basket lac should not ship any of his
fruit. They do it because they wish to
injure the maker of the baskets, and sc
they hit the fruit raiser. They punish
the innocent in the hope of injuring the
alleged guilty. Such is the position Of
Debs and the A. Il. U. regarding rail
roads using Pullman cars.

Federal Authority.

The only apparent advantage grow
ing out of the great railroad strike now,
seemingly, nearly at an end, is on the
side of good government, law and or
der, and not in favor of anarchy and
disturbance.
When there is great strike, involv-
ing the cooperation of large number
of men, the people never know what
the local authorities will do. There is
always apprehension that the officers
and men whose duty it is to suppress
riot, or who are called into action for
that purpose, may be too strongly in
sympathy with the disturbers of the
the peace or too greatly biased by po-
litical influence to allow them to act
with proper rigor. But somewhere
must lie the power which may be in
voked to suppress disorder, else there
is no security to life and property. We
now know that the strong arm of the
National Government is behind us for
the protection of our rights and liber-
ties, and that whatever may may arise,
we have assured safety.
We are free people, and decide all
our matters through the ballot box.
But behind the ballot box must lie the
power to enforce the thus expressed
will of the majority.
There must be a unit of authority
that can be quickly and decisively
reached in an emergency and to which
all else must yield implicit obedience
and that unit is the Federal authority
The country has realized within the last
few days what "A bulwark OF safety 1T is
when needed, and what anarchy and
confusion might exist without it.
We maintain small Federal army
and navy, and are SO confident of ON
ability to resist and keep off all foreign
enemies that the few soldiers we have
receive little of our attention. But in
that small band is the nucleus of the
whole mighty strength of this great
Nation. 1t is the sign of the power to
which ultimate appeal is made for de-
Tense and safety. The experience oil
the people of this country has taught
them of late that domestic enemies are
more 10 he feared than foreign. That
not only rebellion, organized TO des
troy the government, but anarchy, or
ganized to disrupt industry and traffic
must be put down, if need be with
Federal bayonets

A Debt the Country owes to the
GranQers

Many years ago the farmers of this
country took up in earnest the matter
of endeavoring to bring about some de-
gree of uniformity and justice in the
transportation TO market of farm pro-
duce by railroads. They did not or
ganize strikes, nor boycotts, nor destroy
railroad property, nor proclaim any war
against railroad companies further than
10 insist that they should do what was
fair and just; and they went to work to
compel the railroads to fall into line i'm
their proper relations with the public
by the ballot box. The farmers elected
men To the state legislatures to make
suitable laws regulating railroad trans
portation; they also elected suitable
judges in the courts To pass upon these
laws, and thence came the celebrated
"Granger DECISIONS" so called, in the
supreme courts of the Western states
which occasioned so much discussion
throughout the country. The farmers
were patient and firm. Like the laws
of nature with which they deal, they
took time, but they were irresistible
and in the end triumphed. 1t took
years to accomplish the work, but it

The Principle is the Same.

Some people are apt to confound
their sense of justice with their preju-
dices They observe unmoved and with
out indignation the destruction of cars
and other railway property, simply be-
cause the property destroyed is owned
by corporations. They side with the
strikers instinctively because the other
party to the controversy is a corpora
ton. The choice is not unfrequently
made without examination of the mer-
its of the matters involved. But assum-
ing it were farm property that was de-
stroyed, what would be the difference:
Suppose farmer or number OF farm
ers conclude that the prices received
for their products will not warrant
them in paying as high wages as had
been customary, and they act accord
ingly to reduce wages. Suppose that
the laborers strike They not only re-
fuse to work, but organize in force to
prevent other laborers from working
in their places. And not only that, but
commence to pillage and plunder-to
burn and destroy property. What
would be the difference between thel
position and that of the railway strikers
or the Pullman strikers, who, refusing
to work themselves, have combined to
prevent, 10y force, other from working
in their places, and are also engaged in
footing, burning and destroying the
company's property? The principle in
volyed is obviously the same.
