A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

On an Application for mandamus, COM
polling the Brooklyn Heights railroad
TO operate its cars, Justice Gaynor Of
the supreme court has handed down a
most righteous decision. In granting
the mandamus he not only quoted de-
cisions by the United States supreme
court, but makes a very lucid state
ment of the rights of the public in
volved i'll the case. He holds that
having obtained valuable franchise
from the state, carrying with it the
.'transcendent power of eminent do
MAN," the company owes it to the pub
lie to perform the service contemplated
in the charter, without even one hours
cessation. The public has no part in
any controversy arising between the
company and its employees. Differ
ences may arise wherein the company,
through avarice and greed for divi-
dends, is wholly to blame. On the
other hand employees may make unrea-
sonable and unjust demands. The
public not being party to the con-
tracts between the company and its
men, and being pOwerleSS to take part
legally in any contest, should not be
called upon to surrender the privileges
specified in the charter. Labor dis
turbanceS are among the contingencies
incident to such corporations, the cost
and responsibility Of which should be
considered before applying for fran
chise. If this Brooklyn company is
unable to keep its contract it is due
the public that it surrender its charter,
or turn the property over to some one
who can. Its election to stop its cars
and allow the people to walk till they

cause he is in a controversy with c
over funds which he had intended TO
use for that purpose.

LITERATURE OF THE BIBLE.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

1 From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
A recent writer has described tho
Bible as "a literature smothered with
reverence" A reverence, which, while
it is genuine and profound. really
stands in the way frequently of a
knowledge and appreciation of the
Bible as the literature of great race.
We have been so used to regarding the
Bible as the text book of religion that
we sometimes forget the appeal it
makes to the intellectual nature, to
the imagination, to the sense of beauty
and the elevated taste. To think of
the book of Jonah, for instance, as the
record of historical fact, is as surely to
lose the true sense of its charm as it
would be to put the pigments of the Sis
tine Madonna under a microscope to
search tor the secret of Raphael's in.
spiration. This is the depressing mis-
take which men like DR.. Talmage and
Col. 1ngersoll make respecting the su-
preme expression of the literary as
well as the religious genus of a great
race. Mr.. Talmage treats the Bible as

grandeur of that peerless poem of the
creation in Genesis while he is striv-

whom | have just referred says: with
the single exception of humorous
literature, for which the Hebrew tenn
permanent has little fitness, the Bible
presents as varied an intellectual food
as can be found in any national li.era-
ture-" But surely there is no need of
excluding from the fair picture of the
Bible even the element OF the humor-
GUS The Bible is pervaded by a tone
of lofty seriousness. but il would be
very strange il that sense OF the in

genius of the Hebrew people should be
absent from the finest expression of

it is this sense which furnishes one of
the unerring tests of truth.
Lowell speaks of it as that

many could not find a better motto.
The Bible is full-orbed as literature,
