At last a religious revival has reached
Patchoguo Our correspondent there has told
Of some OF the wonderful prayer meetings
Of the baymen in the past week which have been
held aboard the oyster boats, In the packing
houses, the sail lofts and the lumber yards. The
hardest and most hardened Sinners even the
profsno oystermen, have succumbed to the
religious power and promised to live new life.
There have been promising revivals within q
half year at . number Of places up the Hudson
River, this side of Albany, and there have been
others at several of the smaller towns in the
central and western parts OF the State; but it is
q long time since this city was affected by an
old-fashioned religious revival. The Salvation
Army is trying to stir up things. and so are hun
dreds of preachers, and so is Brother TALMAGE.
the champion, who draws multtudes every
Sunday; but they do not seem to meet with
much success in the city. Yet we have some
people here who need religion as much as any
body in patchogue.

The Move Against wei-Hai-wei.

The landing of Japanese army at the
Sbantung promontory has been followed
by the summoning OF Japan's war vessels
TO assist in the third great movement
of her war with China. First came the
Yalu campaign of the First Army Corps,
under Count YAMAGATA; then the Port Ar
under Count OYAMA; while now we have a
campaign against Wei Hai-Wei, for which
forces have been brought across the Gulf OF
Pechili with Count OYAMA in command.
Strictly speaking. the present movement,
though very likely considered and per-
haps planned at the outset OF the war;, may
not be thought absolutely necessary to the
main purpose awaiting accomplishment.
the capture OF Pekin. The Japanese troops
on the east side OF the Gulf Of Pechili
threatened Mukden as we'll as Pekin.
Again, the distance Of Wei-Hai-Wei from
Pekin is so great that even should the
main Japanese base for the final campaign
be transferred to the region of the Peiho.
Wei-Hai-Wei could perhaps hardly be con-
Sidered as stronghold left threaten
ing in the rear. With the Japanese feet
superior and commanding the waters the
communications Of her army might be
secure, even with Wei-Hai-Wei unreduced
and outside the new sphere of operations.
Still, it is careful and thorough work to
proceed first against this place.
And there are specific advantages In un-
dertaking the present movement. Wei-Hai-
Wei is intrinsically important. 1t contains
one of the principal Chinese dockyards and
Arsenals, and also a naval college. The har-
Dor furnishes IA spacious and well-protected
anchorage, high cliffs sheltering IL on either
side, while an island acts as further buffer
against violent winds. There are excellent
sites for Notifications, which are understood

STRONG guns, and strengthened by new
earthworks and submarine mines. while the
whole Shantung coast line has been more
or less looked after.
Again, the Chinese fleet. under Admiral
TING, has been gathered at Wei-HAi-Wsi
1t proceeded thither after its defeat In the
battle on the Yalu and It's subsequent repair
and reiitting at Port Arthur. 1t is less
liable to be blockaded by ice there than in
some other ports, while Wei-IIai-Wei has a
strategic advantage like that of Port
Arthur, on the opposite shore, in relation
20 the Gulf Of Peehili. Should japan cap
ture this place, she could also drive out

From several of our Nebraska contem-
poraries we learn that the relief sent there from
the Southern States has already given an i'm
petus to a Southwark movement among those

that when the spring opens some thousands of

We think it would be we'll for them to leave

be able to raise some crops this year upon their
new lands. Most of them have been in the
habit of cultivating corn and wheat and II
they can gather harvest the first year of their
settlement, they will at least be sure OF their
own supplies and of safety from starvation for
the rest of their lives. 1t is miserable to hear
any of our honest farmers appealing for charity

Blind Leaders OF tho Blind.

Master Workman CoNTELLY, one Of the
,rincipsl directors of the Brooklyn strike,
peaks with the most cheerful candor Of
she folly and untimeliness Of IT.
IL admit that It was q mistake to order strike ct
his OF the year. when many men are out Of
work, but the companies drove US toit"
That is, 1t was clear that the time had
not come for striking with any reasonable
hope of success, but the leaders did not hold
the men back. They urged them to course
that any sensible person could have foreseen
would end in failure and they now lay the
blame upon the railroad companies, as II
the companies were eager to lose money and
willing to cause a strike for that purpose.
This same Connolly, while admitting
that 1.-THE situation was such that any
further prolongation of the strike meant
xuin to the workingmen," declared almost
In the same breath that he had no inten-
ton of calling the strike off," Having
helped to drive the men into q hopeless
strike, and fully aware that the strike was
practically over, he would still keep up the
pretence that the strike was in vigorous
operation and would keep out of a few more
days wages the poor fellows who believed
~
sible. When the final break is made, there
will be hundreds of men out of employment,
and out Of employment simply because the
leaders in whom they trusted blindly, were
dishonest in ordering the strike, as they
were dishonest in refusing to call it off when
they knew and admitted that it was over.
There is great deal of heated talk about
the wrongs suffered by laborers, wrongs
said to be committed against them by
greedy and selfish capitalists and grinding
employers. The worst enemies the laborer
who is a member of labor union, has to
fear are the self-seeking, ignorance, passion
for notoriety, thorough insincerity, and blind
pigheadedness of the labor leaders who take
command before and during strike.
Where do these extraordinary persons come
FROM They seem to be of piece. They
are usually truculent and they always
muddle. II the men that are to conduct a
strike were chosen by lot, the result would
probably be much more to the satisfaction
Of the strikers.

Pile OF the city shall leave it to till the fields; but
1t does not seem possible TO get them to look for
employment in the country parts whore they
are often wanted, and where they could make a

then we hear the cry for farm hands along with
the complaint that they cannot be obtained

people of tho fields coming here 10 try their

ing. but not otherwise under the existing condi-

he can earn them in the city. As soon as the
supply OF labor runs short here we will break

Honor and Shame.

Honor to the militia men of New York
and Brooklyn. They have performed the
arduous but immeasurably useful service of
taking anarchy by the throat, until its
own cowardly rage and the false and ras-
cally sentiment sustaining it have subsidized,
and law and liberty could recover their
normal influence.
And with honor to the two brigades Of
New York and Brooklyn there goes shame
to Brooklyn's city Government, and it's
police, and great body Of its people, for
their weakness and unfaithfulness in letting
lawlessness reach the outrageous power that
made a great body Of troops necessary.

A young American who has entered an In
stitution TO study electrical engineering asks us
TO tell him whether lie will be sure OF finding
employment as an electrical engineer when his
studies are ended. We cannot sec very far
ahead. but we think he is likely to have a good
chance OF finding It, Electrical engineering Is
one OF tho rising industries OF the country, and
II is a very promising industry. There is reason
tO believe that il will yet become far more
tensive than IL has been at any time during the
brief period of its existence. Every year we
electricity put TO new uses and the probability
is that the measure OF its utility will be in
creased indefinitely. Thus new opportunities
will be opened up. from time To time, for those
who are ready TO take advantage OF them, and
more especially for those who are Of an inven-
tive turn OF mind. First-rate electrical engi-
neers are not overnumerOus. and there Is a con-
slant demand for them. They are very well
paid, too.
Our young inquirer will certainly have as good
a chance OF procuring employment at his chosen
pursuit as he would have In any branch OF pro-
fesslonAl activity, the law, for example, or In
any OF the ordinary industries We believe his

Guatemsla's surrender 20 their demands
Not word Is heard from Mexico about ar
bitration, and she holds that Guatemala
has violated the treaty OF 1882, 80 that arbi-
tration is not binding IL Is said that
Guatemala would be very glad to submit the
points N dispute to competent referee, but
Mexico may not see why she should give up
a sure thing for a doubtful one
All this does not show that Mexico's side
Of the question is wrong. Apparently she
has no doubt that she IL right. We read Of
the adherence Of all parties in Mexico to the
Governments views, and even OF their
hearty support by American residents as
founded in justice. But that has not made
Mexico any the more willing up to the pres
ent time to submit her cause, however
much she may believe in it, to arbitration; ;
and the case is perhaps an example OF how
arbitration can fail as a panacea for war
What Mexico seems to be studying just
now is not the merits Of the case, for she re-
CARDS that point as settled, but whether
there is enough in the dispute to pay her for
going to war. And as to that, she may see
that she can saddle the cost on Guatemala,
or else take a bigger slice Of the latter's
territory as indemnity. She will also have
the prestige Of success.
Guatemala, on her side, has been injudi-
cious, as often before. She was foolish when,
under BARRIos, she sought to drive the
other republics of Central America into a
union, with her as leader; and again in her
last war with little Salvador, when she was
beaten. How she can expect to tackle
successfully her big northern neighbor is
not clear: and yet, instead OF proceeding
cautiously and suavely, she has burned Mex
ican property on the disputed tract and an
gered Mexico by her conduct Of the whole
affair. 1t is doubtful whether war can now
be avoided unless she backs down, and
either accepts Mexico's terms or as much of
them as Mexico insists upon.
The sun., 1895-01-29

The growing gravity of the quarrel be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala admits OF
one explanation. Aware that she is over
whelmingly the stronger, and that she
might soon dictate the terms of peace in
Guatemala, Mexico seems To offer her neigh
bor the alternative of war or submission.
There is every reason 10 suppose, also, that
this has been the only choice offered for
some time. President DIAz, Mr., MAMsCAL,
Mr., ROMERO, and others may have occasion
ally expressed the hope that despite the crit
ical aspect of the quarrel, il would be AMIGA
bly, terminated; but on examining this
optimistic thought, it seems to be based
on the idea that reflection will convince
Guatemala either OF the injustice or Of the
hopelessness Of her cause And in one
sense Mexico is justified in this cOmplacent
II rather curious hope of a peaceful settle
ment, because Guatemala might well be con-
WINGED that she has little chance OF success
in the appeal to the sword,
Still, that seems 10 be the only ground on
