Both | | sides, the companies and the strikers express themselves satisfied with the re sult and determined to hold out. That is the usual way. Very soon the contes tants will, it is to be hn{n'd. come to gether to discuss their differences and submit them to arbitration, or in some other way bring about an amicable set tlement. For the present the strikers | have public sympathy with them, they | need to be careful in” all their conduct and language in order to retain it. The public docs not comprehend the details of their demands, but it sees that some | at least of these are reasonable, and we believe the general feeling just, that the Western Union ought, as & powerful cor- | tion, by kindlyand considerate tr | ment of their workingmen's statement of | | grievances, to have opened the door to a friendly arbitration. No harm can eve come from such a moderate and concilia- | tory course on the part of corporations | which are great employers of labor. | The foregoing is the commencement of | an editorial in the New York Herald of last urda; It then replies length | to the positions taken by the Tribune | and Evening Post, and_continues: But when a prominent journal proposes laws to forbid the servants ef telegraph and railway companies to “strike,” and when another prominent journal thinks the manner in which the servants of a great corporation presented their grievances in this case was ‘‘especially objectionable,” it is timely to call attention to the finan- »f such a corporation. Becauso the question is thus raised whother, if the capital of the Western Union company represonted only the fair value of the property and its franchise it could not,at present rates of telegraph- ing, earn fair and even large dividends on such capital, even though it acceded to all the requirements of its servants. The present capital of the Western Union company is $80,000,000. How has it raised to that prodigious figure? By building telegraph lines or acquiring other property! Noj; for it owns but a part of the lines—and not the larger part, wo have understood—which it works, 1t holds a great part under lease from the owners, railrond companies and others, and it owns comparatively little real es- tate. How, then, camo about these eighty millions, on which a dividend is regularly declared! Last year an ingenious pamph- let was issued to demonstrate the ex- traordinary value of Western Union stock as an investment for country gentlemen. In this the prosperity of the company was set forth at length, and there we tind the following passage: The authorized capital of the company then was $500,000, of which only about three-fourths had been issued. On Aug. 19, 1858, the first scrip dividend was declared, being 33 per cent on $369,700, the amout of outstanding stock. On Sept. 22 of the same year, after the amount of the authorized capital had been increased, a serip dividend of 414 40-100 per cent on the capital sock of £485,7000 was issued. Three moreserip dividends were issued previous to the purchase of other lines by issuing stock. They were as follows: July 16, 1862, 27 26-100 per cent on the capital stock outstanding of £2,355,000; March 16, 1863 100 per cent on the capital stock outstanding of £2,079,300, and Dec. 23, 1863, 83} per cent on the capital of 5,962,600, increa ing the capital stock to 87,950,700. About January, 1861, an arrangement was made for the purchase of the Pacific telegraph comjpany, a corporation chartered in the state of Nebraska, and authorized to buy, build, and operate a telegraph line from some point within a territory or state east of the Rocky mountains to San Francisco. 1ts capital was §1,000,000. The purchase was effected by an exchange of the West- ern Union stock issued for that purpose for the stock of the Pacific telegraph company, the amount being $1,277,210. Here we read of one “‘serip dividend” after the other—33 per cent, 414 per cent, 27 per cent, 100 per cent, 33} per cent. And then we read of the purchase of other companies by issue of Western Union stock. A writer who, last Decem- ber criticised the statements of this ‘Western Union pamphlet ina letter to the Herald, which, so far as we know, was never noticed by the company, remarked | on this: 5 1t is nowhere that the P grap company owned any wires or had any line actually built, though they re- ceived over $1,250,000 for their charter and supposed property. That in the pur- chase of the United States telegraph stock the 87,216,300 d for it was, ac- cording to good authority, fally five times its true value. The capital of the Ameri- can telegraph when it was absorbed was almost as much inflated as that of the Western Union, and amounted to §3,833,100; yet £11,833,100, or a bonus of $8,000,000 in Western Union stock. was issued in exchange for its property, In these ways the stock was watered to por Bl £41,000,000. InJanuary, 1881, the pamph- lot shows this prodigious “‘water” was | ain watered, and the capital of the | Western Union was increased from $41, | 000,000, to 50,000,000, by the payment of §15,000,000 in stock for the property and franchiscs of the American Union telograph compuny, not worth then £3,000,000. At tho same time the At- lantic and Pacific telegraph company was absorbed by Western Union at the ex- pense of &8,400,000 more of stock for property, also worth about $3,000,000, and then a scrip dividend was issued to the stockholders of Western Union on top of all this of over $15,000,000 more. It is a very general and frecly express- ed belief among telegraph experts that the whole Western Union plant could be du- plicated to-day for $20,000,000 or at most §25,000,000. To put it at §40,000,- 000 seems to every expert we have heard speak on the subject—which is one very frequently discussed—laughably extrava- gant. There would remain even in that case 840,000,000 of “‘water,” on which a 5 per cent dividend is paid.” The journals which think laws should be passed to for- bid _telegraph operators from striking would do well to consider whether laws should not first be passed to forbid great corporations from watering their stock. Strikes of working men and women are disagrecable events, but they aro often the only means they have to make the griovances known to the public or to g them remedied at the hands of their em ployers, So long as strikers conduct themselves in a lawful manner, wit violence, and without trying by intimida tion to prevent others from taking the places they have vacated, they are within | their rights, and pretty certain of the | sympathy of the y.»nvru{]mh]i especially whore, us in this case, they appeal against | a corporation which pays dividends on a heavily watered capital. | We do not think it wise in such corpo- rations, by their haughty and supercilious conduct toward their servants, to hasten | the raising of the issue between wages and water, which is sure to come up some | day. Our advice to the managers of the — | Wostern Union company is to come to | terms with their striking servants as soon as possible. e The Rabbic Pest in Australia, Melbourne Leader. The rabbits, despite tho many ruthless and ingenious methods devised for their | extermination, maintain their hold in Victorin, New South Wales and South Australia, and now there are premonitory symptoms of their ravages being extended to the fertile plains and pasturs lands of | Queensland Like the plague of locusts that scourged the ancient Egyptians, this pest threatens ultimately to devour every green thing. so that it behooves the urban | no less than the rural population of all the colonies to lend a helping hand for its suppression. It isabsurd to suppose | that any vermin can defy the efforts of man to extirpate it, and it only requires a vigorous and united crusade on the part of the colonies to stamp it out as effect ually as small-pox or any similar distom er, Queensland squatters have naturally hecomo alarmed at the approach of their insidious enemy, and have been resorting to the usual means to avert the danger. An association has been formed, entitled the Rabbit Prevention Association, the members of which propose to keep out the invaders by a wire netting fence along the boundary between the Wellington and Lachlan districts, a distance of 178 miles. As well might they strive to keep the tide out of Brisbane harbor with a spoon. As soon as feed becomes scarce on the southern side of the fence, the migratoryfhordes of animals, with'the strong instincts of their species, will find a thousand weak points in the line of de- fense, and soon settle down to their new habitat. What is wanted is a combined onslaught on the part of the governments of the several H nies, Lot them all contribute, as they have done in rooting out the phyiloxera, to a common fund that shall be devoted to the destruction of the rabbit systematically and upon an oxtensive The carly squatters in this colony are responsible for the pres- ence of the pest. Many of those land- holders have sought Queensland to eseape the effects of their devastations, and it only seems like pootic justice if they should be followed thither by the nui- sance. But thereby the innocent would suffer with the guilty, and the country generally be involved in the I sus. tained. Already the rabbits ve been seen on the Lachlan plains near Cobar, 180 miles from the Queensland border, There is therefore no time to be lost in securing the gen co-operation tobring about the extinction of the pest. —— Army Gamoling. Pittsburg Dispatch, “It was during the war that T learned to play poker.” said Lawrence Cook in the Union depot last night. “Yos" said Officer Zimmerman, ‘‘that’s where I learned it.” And then the two officers started off | into reminiscences of the days of the ““We used to have big pots, 1 tell you, then. We wouldn't get paid sometimes for months, and when we did get our money it added zost to the card playing to make the stakes big. I've won $300 to $400 in a day or two, and lost it again as fast. And then the chuck-a-luck—" *‘Chuck-a-luck,” interposed Zimmermam, ‘“Yes, I should sayso. Why, I knew a fellow that would brins out his chuck-a- luck and sweat-board every time we had a ten minutes’ rest on a march, You know we used to have a ten minutes rest in every hour in a long mareh, Well, this fcl?nw would play every time we stopped. Yowd see the men gathering around like a lot of flies around a ¢rop of molasses, Well, sir, I knew that fc}- low to make 81,600 inone day’s ,march. It was a mighty good thing it was [paper money and didn’t weigh much.” ““Yes” said Cook, ‘I had a friend that raked in about 2,500 in three or four days on a march, and he played against the game, too,” ‘‘But there were lots of fellows that lost too. added Zimmerman. “‘Just after 1 had re-enlistedand had got part of the bounty money and back pay, and was waiting for a veteran furlough, a friend f mine who lived where I did, and had re-enlisted too, gotto playing fmkur. Ho lost every cent and wanted to borrow $26 from me. I wouldn'tloan it to him,but he got it some place. The next morn- ing he had $500; the next evening he hadn't a cent. That'sthe way it went. But the time when the boys liked to play the best was during the ten minutes rest on a march.” — A Telegraphic Blunder. Boston Commercial, Telegraphic anecdotes being in order reminds us of a dispatch which some years ago a business man in this city sent to his correspondent in New York, re- questing him to have a room reserved for him at the hotel, as he should come on that afternoon. Arriving late at night he stood screne- ly behind the crowd at the old Astor House who were r 1 their names, even till the clerk began to turn appli- cants awany for lack of room, assured that his dispateh in advance must have secured accommodation, but was surprised and indi, it to find that no order for a room had been received, and was obliged to lunt up lodgings for the night elsewhere. Early next morning, in response to the demand if his dispatch had been received, Lis correspondent replied in the aftirma: tive, and said that a store-house had been hired for him in Beaver street as ordered, “A store-house! I never ordered a store-house.” The dispatch was produced, It read: “Shall be on to-night; have room in a store-house secured at once,” Application at the telegraph office re- vealed the fact that the young woman who received the message as it came slow- ly from the wire supposed the operator had been abbreviating, and she therefore corrected (1) the spelling of the message, which originally read: **Have room in Astor House secured at once.” The divi- sion of A-stor and addition of an e pro- duced quite a different result than was desired, —— A Wonderful Dream, Boston Globe A daughter of the late Harvey Jewell {who was so well and fayorably known in Boston in legal and business circles, and was a brother of the late Marshall Jewell) had recently a very queer and unusual experience, and one caleulated to make a deep impression upon the strongest mind., Some weeks ago she had a dream in which she dintinetly saw an undertaker drive up to her residence with a haarse. He was a peculiar looking man, His queerly shaped nose, which looked as if 1t had been broken and was twisted to one side, gave his countenance an expression which would have made identification easy and cortain, He came directly |n\\nui her, and as he said “Are you already?’ she suddenly awoke. The dream seemed a peculiar one, but did not attract very much attention in the CHEA PLACE IN OM They always have the NO STAIRS TO CLIMB the story. yme little time afterward the young lady was visiting in Cincinnati, and went to an apartment hotel to call upon a friend, She stepped into the elevator with others, and was startled to hear **Are you all ready!” from the man in charge. ho was still more startled en looking around and beholding the exact picture of the man of the dream, even to the misshapen nose. It made such an impression upon her mind that she re- quested to be let out of the elevator at the first landing. She stepped out, and the other occupants went out at the next landing, and the man remained. The elevator machinery gave out; suddenly the car went up, and then down, and the man was instantly killed —— There are mauy cheap cosmetics offered for sale, which elaim to contain nothing injurious to the skin, This is all bosh, all, or very near- 1y all are compounded from the most delotor- i and poisonous drugs in_ the materia med- ion.

Unquestion- there seems to beno kind of death more dreaded by men than death either from sudden catastrophes—like that of the ring theatre at Vienna and that on the Clyde, for instanee—or from pes lene No doubt, it is perfectly true that death cannot be shared in the same sense in which a peril or a pleasure can be shared; you cannot, in all probability, be conscious of the strength of compan- ionship after life begins to flicker low, nor are there above one or two peaple in the world with whom most men would covet the senso of companionship in such a momeut as that of death. ill it s somewhat curious that death ona grand scale always seems to be more terrible, even to the separate individuals, than the ordinary death by units. Of course ter- ror is very catching, and, therefore, the terror of a crowd always enhances the terror of the individual. But though that explains the supreme agony of asink- ing ship or a burning theatre, it does not in the fuML explain the additional dread of death which plague seems to inspire in individuals, for between the inhabi- tants of a plague-stricken city there is always very much less sympathy than there was before the pestilence appeared and it is rather through the growth of mutual repulsion thanthrough the height- ening of a common sympathy that tho in- fluence of pestilence is chiefly felt. As a fact, vory fow patients stricken with ordinary disease who are told that death is inevitable, show any panic atall, while the perfectly healthy man, surrounded by pestilence, is too often consumed with & terror which renders him absolutely un- fit for the discharge of his duties,—Lon- don Speculator. e L NO REST DAY OR NIGHT.
