A Step Backward.

A valued correspondent criticizes,
in another column, the recent action
of a committee of the Central Labor
union In urging the Erie and Wyom-
ing Valley Railroad company to run
Sunday trains over their road to Lake
Ariel.
We do not wish to discuss what ef-
feet the running of these trains would
have upon the attendance of the
churches Of the city during the sum-
mer season, nor the moral question
concerning the right or wrong obser-
vance of the Sabbath. but merely to
offer for the consideration of the rep-
resentatives of our laboring people
the following facts:
The weekly rest from labor, granted
by law and sanctioned by public opin-
ion, is one of the highest privileges of
the American workman.
Whatever influences encroach upon
that weekly rest fall heaviest upon the
man who labors.
The tendency of all Sunday excur-
sions lies in the direction of regu-
lar Sunday labor and must, therefore,
be against the best interests of the
laboring man. In the long run, the
harm done to the cause of labor will
be greater than any present benefits
derived by the individual, The en-
ployes of the French factories have re-
Gently petitioned the government to
compel employers to close their factor
les on Sundays. These men are
wiser in their day and generation than
those who are asking for the Sunday
| trains.

American Admiral and German Kaiser

The capture of Isla Grande COM
manding the important strategic posi-
tion of SubiE Bay. with thirteen hun
dred Spanish prisoners, is the most
notable and perhaps politically import
ant of all our victories since the be-
ginning of the war, if we except
the surrender of Santiago. Augin-
aldo and his troops had, ac-
cording to the perspcuous dis
patch Of Admiral Dewey, effect
ed the conquest of Subig Bay with the
exception of Isla Grande which they
were prevented from taking through
the interference of the German man
of-war Irene.
On July Dewey sent the Raleigh
and Concord there with imperative in.
structions to lombard and reduce the
fortifications on the island, and to
brook nc interference from German war
ships. Dewey's instructions were in
simultaneously and effectively carried
out by Captain Ccghlan. After the

schleNo Sampson.

Public interest ~ She question of the
relative claims of schley and Samp-
son to credit for the sea victory at
Santiago continues. We have re-
ceived a number of inquiries bearing
on the subject, One correspondent
asks where Sampson was when Schley
bottled Cervera up. BY all accounts
at the time he was in the vicinity of
Havana. He went to Santiago and
superseded Schley only after Schley
had caught the game. Another cor
respondent asks how far Sampson was
from the scene of the fight when Ger
vera sailed out and was annihilated.
The dispatches say ten miles. He ar
rived on the scene of action in time
only to fire n few shots at the last
Spanish vessel. the Christobal Colon.
1t is also asserted that he refused to
permit Schley TO receive the Colons
surrender. notwithstanding that 1t was
Schley who prevented the Colon's es-
cape. The truth or falsity of this as
sertion will doubtless be determined
in due time.
1t is no more than justice to Ad-
! miral Sampson to say that the public
feeling which has been aroused over
these unwelcome reports is one less
Of personal hostility to himself than

in SIMPSONS assignment to the SUI

| tice was done to Schley which the de-

modore with a brilliant record as a
| fleet commander and as a man of cour-
| age and spunk. He had incurred dis
| favor at Washington by being quick
| at Valparaiso, Chile, to resent indig-
nifty to the American flag. On that
occasion, instead of trusting to long
winded diplomacy he had unslung his
guns and prepared for immediate busi-
nass-a circumstance which healthy
| Americanism puts to his credit but
which gave the red-tape-loving de-
| partment authorities chill. This, II
is believed, is what led to Schley's
being passed over in favor of the eau
tious, methodical and less experienced
Sampson; and it is the memory OF
this episode which makes his friends
quick to resent further injustice to
him If, as they believe, it has beer

Santiago's Surrender.

The spectacle presented by the vic
torious force at Santiago agreeing to
return the vanquished to home terri
tory is. we believe, without parallel in
the annals of warfare. but the mag
nanimity Of il is in keeping with the
humanitarian impulse which prompted
this nation I" go 10 war. The Span
ish army has proved It's valor beyond
question. The men in it, conscripted
among the poor and ignorant peasantry
of Spain, have performed the duty put
upon them by imbecile rulers with n
forttude and patience emitting Them
notwithstanding their faults, 10 the
worlds admiration. Nothing was to he
gained by booming these innocent vic
tins of Spanish mal-adminstration to
useless captivity because Of crimes
committed by their superiors in author
ity; but on the other hand. much was
TO be gained by giving indubitable
proof tc the world that the American
CLAIM To humane motive is not a hypn-
critical pretence. After this wholesale
exhibition of clemency NJ foreign OBJ
server who is honest in opinion can in.

government has disarmed reputable

The moral effect of this unprecedent-

DEwEY's REMARKABLE TACT.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The situation in the Philippines is full
of dangers. Admiral Dewey has shown
remarkable diplo matte tact and evenness
of temper under most irritating condi-
tions, and the Germans have exhibited
commendable discretion by their rejec-
tion of the Spanish governors offer to
surrender Manila into their hands and
by the prompt withdrawal of the Irene
from Subig bay upon the appearance OF
our war ships there. 1t is extremely an
noyinG, however to an officer conducting
an attack upon a hostile position TO have
neutral cruisers constantly poking their
noses between his guns and those of the
enemy. Our naval commander-in-chief mt
Manila may be trusted to play his deli
cate part with all the circumspection re-
quired by a complicated sltuation; but
with the desperate Spaniards prepared to
compromise anybody and everybody in
the hope of profiting by the resulting con-
fusion, msunderstandings may arise
which would make the playing of deli
cate part no easy matter.
