SPECIMENS OF "UNION" GOVERNMENT.
By Editor
ONE of the many ridiculous scenes in our government during the brief reign of the American Railway Union, had reference to attendance at the Christian Endeavor Convention at Cleveland, Ohio. The Washington, D. C., delegation were in doubt as to whether it was safe to undertake the journey under the then uncertain condition of affairs; and, while considering the matter, they received a dispatch from the strike leaders giving them permission to go. This was of the same piece as the case of Mrs. Stanford, who, on a journey from Oregon to her home in this State, traveling in her own car on a road in which she owns a large interest, was obliged to stop at Dunsmuir until permitted by the union to continue her journey to San Francisco. And when the permission to proceed was granted, the union deemed it necessary to furnish her a guard to protect her train from possible harm at the hands of their own men, and then actually attempted to pose as having done a very gallant deed. It was hardly worth while to call attention to these things at the time of the excitement, when so many ordinarily sensible people were in enthusiastic sympathy with the move; but now, when they have had time to cool down a little, they may be able to see the absurdity of the union's presumption. If they will ponder these things a little, they may be able to imagine what kind of times we will have when this same spirit, fast becoming dominant throughout the world, shall have secured a little firmer hold. These things are all predicted in the word of God; it would be well for all to study them in the light of prophecy. "The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple."
