V The Telegraphic Strike.

It is obvious to all tbat the strike'of the telegraph operators, is not as strong loas it was when it started, and onto, can be made to weaken the Wee ten. by exne new turn in the battle, t:s admitted failure wnl ooly be a question of time. Public sympathy bos been from first with the Brotherhood, but the odds accm lo be oo tbe ride of the greet monopoly, who* greed aod arrogance made It to offensive. ' Fudfi cartoon of the tournament bet ween capital and labor portrays tbe situalo the shame of tbe American people it Bid. The political significance of strike is two-fold. First it may serve to forcibly direct the attention of Congress to the necessity of govern men 1 conuol of the telegraph. When Jay Gould with bis millions of ill-gouen wealth can subsidise the press— or a portion ol it— and ait at tbc brad of a coooroa whose profits have swelled its cagjtsi to more than ten limra tbe original investment, and there grind down lo starvation wages tbe army of men from whose labor this profit is earned ; and when 'this arrogant monopoly gobbles up every competitor aod openly boasts tbat it can starve out all lo realise that tbe people have some right. This Kale of affairs directs sttentioo to tbe approaching triumph of the Democratic party. It it the natural foe of monopoly and the steadfast friend of the work logman. No aacb state of things ss oow exM could have grows up under Democratic administration of tbe government , because the defiant oorpontkmi would be beld to accountability and -com pelted in obey tbe laws. Tbe statements given out by tbe Western Union company that It is handling its business readily and promptly, and that tbe service Is lmprov. ing day by day are absolutely false. Its service is in s stale of chaos. Dispatches are delayed shorn Ifiihly, and transmitted in such bad shape as to be often mislead, tag or useless. lis alacrity la spreading reports of Interference wiiiFiu wires is malicious, tbe fact being tbat there is not by the striken, who are under strict Injunction from tbe power that guides them to avoid all such mischief, which would only harm their cause. Throe miarepresrntaliooa are merely part of the tactics of the company in its desperate game of bluff, which is too transparent to win. Singular Accident.
