This is new feature in religious
work, but it seems to have the ring of
true christianity about it. In order
for one to get people interested in
anything he mus: first be interested
himself. II Sunday School workers
would be as much interested as the
proprletors of saloons and ball rooms,
perhaps they would be as largely at
tended.
William Butt. of this place, and
Abner Everhart, Of Bloomsburg, were
struck by lightning during the shower
here on Sunday afternoon. They
drove their horse under the shed of
Samuel Kile's barn, and before they
got out of the buggy the lightning
struck the barn, hitting them and
throwing them out of the buggy. Sew
eral holes were burned in their
clothes. The electric current passed
around Mr.. Everhart's body, entering
at the shoulder, burning the skin IN
straight lines like a flash OF light.
They remained unconscious but a
short time, but were entirely helpless.
MIR. Butt seemed to be the worst off
and thought he was dying, They
called for help but no one heard
them. At last they managed to
walk little but would often be-
come helpless and fall down, finding
help at last, they sent near by to the
church for their friends who were at
tending funeral service, they soon
had all the assistance that could be
given and few hours after Mr.. Ever
tart claimed he felt pretty good. He
had been visiting his parents during
the day and was on his way to Blooms
burg when the shower overlook him.

THE PULLMAN STRIKE.

Perhaps the most aggravated of all
the recent strikes is that now made
against the wealthy inventor of the
Pullman sleeping and palace car.
This strike has spread with avidity
and with an ill-concealed vengeance,
tying up great deal of business
completely and making it most diff
cult on the part Of railroad manipula-
tors to get new men to take the places
of the strikers. George NJ. Pullman
declares the strike of the car shop en-
ployees as unwarranted in justice,
claiming To have done all that he
could afford to do by his employees.
3" The matter" he says, "has now be-
come question as to whether the
railroads of this country can operate
their own property or not. Their in.
dependence Of action is now at stake
and they have determined that the
question may as well be settled now
as at some later time. This is the
general disposition as I understand it.
In the important matter of tying up
mail trains along with Others, the
strikers are quite apt to encounter the
strong arm of the United States Gov
ernment. They will find some diff
Guilty in attempting to detach Pullman
cars from mail trains where the trains
are made up with a view to prevent it.
Attorney General Olney holds that a
train which carries the mail is a mail
train, and of course to Interfere with
any particular car in that train will be
an act bordering close upon treason
against the u. S. Government. But
the roads are certainly encountering
serious difficulty in attempting to fill
the places of strikers, the persuasion
to quit being stronger it seems thus
far than the persuasion or inducement
to remain at work under the protest
of their fellow workmen. President
Scanlon, of the labor union, said in
regard to those who might choose to
take the place Of strikers, that they
would be allowed to take trains out
"but they will never come back" he
omlnously remarked. "We are in
shape" he said, "to stop every car
wheel except those under the United
States mail cars" He said further
more, eve are not fighting railroads
We are fighting Pullman. But when
they make this cause theirs, then we
will fight. tell you we are on the
verge of the biggest railroad strike in
the history of America unless we gain
our point. If we win there will never
be another strike If we lose, it means
death to organized labor. The Ameri-
can Railway union know that the rank
and file of all the brotherhood organi-
cations are with us, regardless of the
grand masters, and when we call on
them to act you can set it down that
they viii. do as we ask them"

They Are Not Dead But Sleeping.

Among the advantages of keeping
awake, while other towns are asleep
for political effect, comes Blooms
burgs recent promotion from the
Post Office Department. The post
masters salary being based upon the
volume of postal business transacted,
of course town that is asleep for any
cause will suffer financial reduction in
many ways, and their loss will be the
gain of places that can see no parti-
cular advantage in making hard times
harder still. Bloomsburg Las lost
nothing by going right on with her
varied business interests. But who
with any regard for truth can say that
Danville, Berwick, Towanda, or Sun
bury has lost nothing by their closing
up for political effect or in apprehen-
sion of unfavorable tariff legislation :?
So far as forstalling Objectionable
tariff legislation is concerned, they
have perhaps won temporary victory ;
but SO far as revolutionizlng the poll
tical sentiment is concerned the SEN
timent that defeated the Republican
party on the tariff issue nothing but
general election can determine it.
For it is well to remember that much,
very much, Of demoralizing and dis.
gushing commercial influence has tran
spired, through provoked strikes, &C.,
which is apt to unsettle and radically
change the anticipated political effec,
hoped for through manufactured dis
tress.
AS between labor and our protected
industries there has been an incessan,
warfare, the influence of which is not
so easily outlived or obliterated as oul
favored ones who control our fostere6
and fattened industries may think
OF course the line Of policy is to show
that Democracy means distress, boil
financially and commercially, while
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-07-06

the only hope of commercial and
financial prosperity lies in and through
the Republican party.
If our fostered and fattened indus
tries, backed by the Republican party,
can convince the sovereign power
of the correctness of this notion and
prove it by experience and by their
practical demonstration of financial
and commercial distress, we can see
nothing in the way of their gaining
the supremacy and holding it right
along. Anc then surely the sovereign
power owes an humble apology to the
Republican party for the inglorious
defeat it unwittingly gave it by electing
Cleveland, tariff reformer, whose
winning promise was that he would re
form the tariff if elected. If he tried
and failed, was it because of Republi-
can fllibustering or of a Democratic
sell-out ? To divide the dishonor be-
tween the two parties will, we think, be
about right. But SO long as the sover.
eign power wants care for the innocen,
masses as against the cunning and
selfish classes there will be need ir
this country for something besides the
Republican party, and if the Democra
tic party would retrieve her lost pres
tige, there is splendid opportunity
right at hand. She has only to per
sist in standing by the masses a.
against the highly protected classes

.aYS|AN PARK IMPROVEMENT i.
A Discussion as to Whether
Bonds Are Wanted.
Mass Meeting to Be Held Tonight to
Consider the Matter.
The Trouble Caused by Individuals
Owning the Very Heart of tho
Park Ares-Cost of
the Water.

A mass meeting OF citizens will DO
held in Music hall this evening to con-
slider the advisability of improving
Elysian park. IL is expected that a
large attendance will be present, in view
of the Importance OF the proposition.
It is hardly known what is the best
course to pursue, though the matter of
voting bonds for the improvement
seems the m ost feasible plan.
Some time ago the city council or :
dered condemnation suit against lands
in the center of the park area, owned
by private individuals, and which must
needs be obtained before the grounds
can be made the park that it is destined
to be. No farther action Was taken by
the council, owing to the fact that it was
not known whence the funds for the
purchase of the land would be derived,
and in case judgment was secured it
would have awaited nothing unless the
purchase price was forth Incoming.
The land owned by the individuals
lies in the heart of the park, which is in
itself an area of 900 acres or more. 1t
consists OF seven squares OF SO acres
each. 1t seems to be the opinion that
now is the proper time to purchase
these tracts and give the city the entire
control of all the land included in the
Elysian park section.
The water supply for the park is said
to be within easy development. 1t could
be derived from the zanja at the old
Lacy carpet beating establishment and
elevated by either turbine or steam
pump, and thus spread over the park.
1t is thought the cost would not exceed
$4,000.
1t is Of the utmost Importance to every
resident of Los Angeles that there
should be one large, highly improved
park. There is certainly no finer park
ground on the American continent than
this. EN- bracing, rs it does, magnificent
views of hill, valley and of the ocean,
both at Santa Monica and San Pedro.
All sorts OF tropical plants will thrive
luxuriantly in Elysian park on account
OF the sheltered hooks and valleys.
The Importance of fine parks to city
cannot be oyerstatad. There is no ques-
ton but the rapid growth OF London,
England, is largely due to its fine parks,
the principal one being Hyde park, which
contain ms about 500 acres.
1t Is the opinion OF some that good
round sum should be voted in bonds.
running, say, 40 years. at about 5 per

heavily on the taxpayers, as the next
generation, which will receive the most

the burden OF these bonds.
