VICTORY FOR STRIKERS
Brooklyn Men Sacrificed Themselves for
the Benefit of Others.

brooklyn Men SHcrihced themselves Tor
the Benefit of Others.
New York, July 25-Distrlct Master
Workman James Pines of district as
sembly No rs, Knights of Labor, leader
in the Brooklyn street car strike issued
the following statement to-day:
This strike was forced upon the men
by the president of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company. 1t will be continued
for the reason that it has the sympathy
of all the labor organizations, not only
in New York. but in the entire coun-
try. The unions in Greater New York
have shown their sympathy and sup
port by their Willingness to contribute
to those who were compelled to sacrifce
themselves for their fellow creatures.
1t matters not who the men are who
will man the cars in Brooklyn here
after, they must receive the benefit of
the effort, and therefore will be much
easier to organize than We're those who
have been driven out
In their homes they will be shown
the benefits they have received from
the sacrifice of those who have sutfl-
cient courage to insist on their rights.
The injustice of the number of hours
they are compelled to work each day is
80 thoroughly advertised that neither
the governor nor the mayor can longer
sit idly by and not recognize the JUS
tice of the mems claim. and the man.
ayers on these railroads must see that
if the modest request of the men ha
been granted, lit would have been a
thousand times less expensive than the
thing they have forced on themselves.
AS evidence of this l point to the
Coney Island and Brooklyn railroad,
which was run without interruption
Through two Strikes. j mention this to
show that laboring men are not unrea-
sonable and only ask fair treatment,
and when fair treatment is given, those
giving 1t reap the reward.
Il will do always whatever is in my
power to assist the men who have been
courageous enough ito sacrifice them
selves for their fellow employees. and no
one can make me believe but that the
fellow employees who have received the
benefits will forever remember those
who made such sacrifices.
THE newspapers can claim the strike
to be a failure, but no argument that
they or anyone can use will satisfy me
that this strike has been anything but
"a victory for the men, as the future
will prove.
In justice TO Albert Johnson and the
public, l want to say that Mr.. johnson
was opposed to this strike. He rea-
soned with them and pointed out to
them why they could not win, and he
advised them to go to the mayor, and
told them that if the mayor would act
he could settle the matter in one hour
without a strike. He also said to ne
that he had no motive other than a
friendly feeling for the men who helped
him to make his money, and l am con-
vinced that it is the truth"

PLEADING THE LAW.
The Bishop of Cleveland Makes an APP
peal for Peace.

Cleveland, July 25.-Citizens of Cleve-
land, among whom the street car strike
us the chief topic of conversation. to-
day added their comments TO the ad-
dress Issued by the Right Rev. Ignatius
f. Horstmann, bishop of the diocese of
cleveland. The utterances of the Cath
Ole divine. a man of great influence
among the people of his denomination
throughout Ohio, are regarded as WV
IDLY expressive of the situation here
and 1T Is expected his message, plead
ing that law will be observed and the
civic dignity upheld, will result in the
subduing of much of the violence which
mas made the past week an epoch in
local history. The address follows:
To Our Beloved Children of the
Laity in the City of C1eveland-Grest-
ing AS the times are so perilous in our
beloved city of Cleveland we are forced
no publicly communicate our sorrow
over the frightfu events of the last
rev days. No matter what may have
been the grievances of the employees of
the Cleveland Electric Railway COM
pany; no matter what may have been
your sympathy for the strikers after
the outrages that have been committed.
atter the terrorizing of the inhabitants
of Cleveland and its suburbs; after the
danger to life and property which has
followed: after the violent resistance
to the constituted civil authority, it is
our sacred duty to remind you all of
all of your solemn obligations to AL
mighty God as Christians and to YOUR
city and country as citizens in this en-
ergeney. 1t has always been our proud
est boast as Americans that we have
shown the world that We are capable
of self government; that nowhere on
earth are law and order SO well re-
spected and obeyed: that here at least
true liberty regns. and that every
guaranty is given for the full pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness.
But now, alas, what do we witness?
Anarchy reigns! Riot and rebellion pre-
walls, The civil authorities and military
are openly resisted! The citizens are
terrorized by the mob, and the militia
must be called out to preserve order.
The fair name Of our city as law
abiding community is in danger Busi-
ness has been paHalyzed. Visitors fear
to enter our portals: citizens are in con-
slant danger of their lives.
What then is your duty to God, your
duty in conscience to your church and
your country? 1t is to uphold the civil
authority ITO obey the laws; to give no
countenance to mob violence; to show
no sympathy for those who are in .'e-
belHon against law and order Avoid
all crowds. Let no idle curiosity lead
YOU bo mingle with those who are thus
disturbing the public peace. Remember
the words of the apostle: Let every
soul be subject TO higher powers. FOR
there is no power but from God; and
those that are ordained of God. There
fore he that resisteth the power resist
eth the ordinance of God. And they
that resisteth. purchase to themselves
damnation. Therefore be subject of
necessity, not only for wrath, but for
conscience sake Romans xii
pray therefore brethren that peace
may be restored and dwell permanently

FRANCE BETRAYED.
The Reciprocity Treaty Has Been De-
nounced as an Enormous Rlunder

Paris, July 25.-The Republique
Francaise, referring to the reciproc-
ity treaty between France and the
United States, signed at Washington
yesterday. says:
Washington dispatches announce
the consummation of the Franco-Amer-
ican treaty. An erroneous blunder,
against which we endeavored to put
the government on its guard, has been
consummated and NJ. M. Millerand
and Delcasse have betrayed French
industry and agriculture to the Unit
ed States, and in these two branches
of our national production ruin will
be heaped on ruin.
True the treaty has not yet been
ratified, and we affirm that it will not
be without discussion. Industrial and
agricultural associations on every side.
indeed, are becoming agitated and
manifold protests are being made, and
when the chamber reassembles the
government will find itself face to face
with an opposition formidably equip
ped with arguments, and which will
energetically lay bare the fatal con-
sequences of the convention which SO
cruelty betrays French interests"
