In the Inillolln of the Department of Mbor for January , edited by Carroll 1) . Wright , Inbor commissioner , there appears an cx- Jinuillvo article by Walter 13. Wevl , 1'h. D. , treating of the condition of railway labor In Europe. The article shows that on the whole rnllwny employes there arc not paid ns nrll as In the United States , and neither do ihny have so ninny privileges. The con- dIM'.ns . nro such In a sociological wny that except In a few lines of skilled , Inbor the flnplovei In Kuropo lack that Independence In thought and notion which Is so general In nearly nil branches of the service In this country. LaiKir organization ! * among railway om- jilojrs nre not so effective In Kuropo as in the t nited States , nnd oven In IJnglnnd , Whi'-h IB the homo of orgnnlrcil labor , these bodies have failed to accomplish so much fnr llulr benefit na hns been obtained by their American cousins. In the United Kingdom about the same proportion of the working population is om- jiloyed by the lallwuy companies as In the V tilted States , although many of thebo nro not directly engngcd In strictly railroad work Tbo proportion In Prance , Germany , Belgium and Switzerland Is smaller than In the I tilled Kingdom or in the United States. ( M IUTNI | | > nml WIIKCN , A comparison of the statistics of wages docs not Justify the conclusion that wngea nro higher or lower solely In consequence of the ownership of the railways by tlio ntato Attempts were made to test the of- fi > ct of stnto ownership ot railways in sev eral countries where the two 8)stems co existed in France , Dolglnm , Austiin , etc. The results , however , do not permit the es tablishment of n general rule , the ownership of the rallwnjs being Inextilcablj mixed up with other considerations Thus , the wages on Kiench stnto railways will be Influenced tus much by tha unfavorable situation of the lines and hy the small amount , of li.illlc ns by the fait of their ownership by the state. The system of giving tips , premiums or Bratulties In vogue in borne countries nlso affcUs thu scale of wages. This will c\- plnln many vnilntions of wngcs to be found in different pnrts of the railway service nnd in different countries or on different sys tems within a country. The wages of con ductors nnd porteis on pnsbenger trains need not bo go high wheio the sjstom of tipping is In vogue and where coal uiid oil premi ums nre customary nnd the dlicct money wngcs of the engineers nnd firemen need not < lie no great as in positions where ad ditional sources of income uro not present. The low rates of wages on the Trench and Gorman railways would be Impossible If it were not for the pension funds established for the benefit of the men. Among the causes permitting u low rate of wnges among lallwny men in I3uropo Is the comparative stability of employment thnt there provnll.s. In this respect the rail way service , oven whole not pertaining to the state , Is Homowlml nlmllnr to the govern ment service In 13urope , where low wages me compensated for by the regulailty of employment. I'lomotlou by seniority , which Is customary , at least on the continent , also appeals to the same class of men , whose instincts lead them to forego all chances of obtaining the highest wages for the sake of a moderate but secure and slowly In creasing salary. Complain of Ion Hour * . Dxccsslvu hours of Inbor have always been ji BOUICO ot complaint In railway employment In Europe. The inhumanly long hours are dangerous both to the railway men nnd to the tiurcllng public , but ft Is curious to note how the Interests of the Inttcr class are paramount in causing u reduction of hours. In most of the countries , nnd nota- ibly in the United Kingdom nnd Franca , attempted regulation of hours hns usually fullowtd some notorious nccldent nnd has especially considered those employes upon whom the safety of the general public pri marily depends. The length of the working day nnd the general conditions of railway employment are also dlbadvantsgeouslj affected by the comparative weakness of railway labor or ganizations. In scverul countries , such as I'riiBsIa nnd Belgium , it IB not permitted to lallway employes to participate in nny labor union , in other countries , like Auetrln , the unions are small and unimportant , while even in France the railway labor unions liavu but little real power. In England the difficulties in the way of labor orgnnlza- tious among railway men have until re cently plnced a bar In the way of the attnln- jncnt of the wishes of the men. The wcukness of the unions and the etrciigth nnd feeling of solidarity among the railway companies or administrations have Ibceu largely accountable for the compara tive nbsenco of strikes on railways. A local strike upon a small scalu can usually bo put down without much difficulty bj nn uncom promising company , nnd a strike upon a largo scale Is exceedingly difficult to engi neer in the railway business. On the whole -wages of railway men nro lilgh In thu rountrles whine ordinary ' -wages nro high and low where ordinary wages are low , but in no place nro the highest -wages paid anywhere near equal to the amount pnld for the same labor In this country. The dlroct wages paid as n rule are about ono- thlrd the amount paid In this country and , Willie the premiums nndi pension privileges may add to the sum , it does not make suf ficient increase to materially change the proportion. > i'iiAi > s NOTTSTTi-ATiiTTiiTTiin s\o\v. gloria I'relly Ceiieml Through IInnl- xra unit Central I'orlloiiN of Mali' .

WATER FOR THE THIRSTY An 'VVay of llii > ln l.liimir on HuniliiIn ( Iniiilia The people of Omaha must have pretty nearly renilied the conclusion that the Sun day closing order Issued'a fc\v weeks ago Is to bo enfopceil in the strictest sense ot the word. Yesterday was another Sabbath of 'tho ' drycat hort , for every saloon in the olty , BO far as could bo ascertained , was sealed as tight ns the original packages that nro usually snld within. Thirst was way he- low par ami that which exhilarates while It assuages wns able to command a consider able premium In the market. There has been some complaint during the ast few weeks since tlio closing order -went Into effect that certain saloons In the city linvo been soiling liquor In Innocent looking leceplnclcs. Tea and coffee cups nro said o have been the vehicles by which the sat- sfylng fluid wns conveyed to thirsty souls behind tde closed doors of wine rooms. That B the tnlo that has been floating about and cached tile cars of Chief of Police White. In onler to compel such saloon keepers to obey the general order , twenty policemen In citizens' clothes were de-tailed for duty nil lay yesterday. They skirmished about the suspected losorts , but their vvoik was df- ( loulf The saloon men who have been will- Ins to run the risk of detection to supply their best customers wllti llciuor have dls- : ised their favors with caie and cuiimlng. July such persons as were known to bo ab solutely trustworthy were allowed to quiff : > f the rhlna cup. Still moie discreetness was observed yesterday. There w as the usual bottle trade Saturday- night , but the customer had to be on hand jcforo midnight In order to secuie his goods. Exactly nt the stroke of 12 the snloons were clearecl of the occupnntH nnd the doors were ocked , not to bo opened again until Monday morning. It was a bit tough upon Hie rounders , who were thus driven out into Iho storm that wns raging , but it enabled them to catch the last car homo nnd the much-worn excuse that the last car was missed was handed to very' tew wives Sun day morning. ABANDON THE EXAMINATION I.oonl Soerotnrs of ( " 111 her * lee Com- lIllNNlllll HOOOU ON lllNtrilftlOIIN from AViiNliliiK < n , Tlio local secretary of the Civil Service ommlsslon hns received Instructions from Washington that Iho usual spring examina tions have been abandoned. The time limit 'or filing applications , which was previously Ixcd as March 1 , has consequently been ex tended indefinitely and the date on which applications will close will bo subsequently announced. The change Is the result of the fact that the commission Is considering the advlsa- jlllty of holding the examinations annually Instead of semt-annunlly nn heretofore. If ho annual examinations are decided on , the examination for the postofllce service will probably be held on the first Wednesday after November 15 in each year , that for the customs department on the first Wednesday after Juno 15 , nnd that for the internal revenue service between September 15 and October 21. The dates of examinations have- been changed from Saturdays to Wednes days because the postoillco employes nro generally exceptionally busy on the last day of the week nnd the additional tact th.it it Is n half holiday In some departments also operates against It. .V Icnr ot llonlllij IIMTOIINO In Kvory Point.

Samuel W. Steele of Lake City , la. , occupied the pulpit nt the Klrst Preaby- tcrlnn church Sunday morning nml evening. At the morning gcivlco ho chose a portion of the second verso In the fourth chapter of Hebrews for his text. "Tho word preached did not piotll them , not being mixed with faith in them thnt henrd It. " The speaker snld : "When ono thinks of j the innumerable services being held through out the \vorld ho rnnnot refralu ftom won dering \\liy the unlvetse should not bo grow ing better. "Thousands of people ore listening to the preaching of the ministers of the gospel each week nnd yet sometimes 1 wonder with others why the effect of those sermons Is not greater. " lie said : " 1 ha\o canto to the conclusion thnt the fnult does not Ho In the faithfulness of Its presentation. The min isters today are Just ns zealous In their work as they used to be. It is true they do not occupy the unique position that was once accorded thorn , but the ministry Is still the peer of nny other piofosslou under the sun. It contains moio powerful advo cates of the religion of God today thnn over before. And yet n religious man stated In a religious meeting recently that ho be- llo\ed 'religion Is ou the decline' " The speaker thought this turn in the circle lep- resented by the man who made tha state ment. It was his belief that while stalls- tics show the Incrcano in the percentage ot Christians during the last yeni wns not as gicnt ns had been expected the fact wns duo largely to the way in which the gospel was preached In ceitaln churches. hiilijoctN that Attrnut. Ill churches where the ministers preach the efficacy of faith , the willingness of Chi 1st to save the woild and Ills death upon the cross thnt all mankind might bo saved the Increase is more notable than In the others , where ministers beck to keep abienst of the times nnd present subjects for considera tion which their congregations will he moro Interested in nnd > et not contnln the re ligion which they me called to teach.

Ho wants to know that It hns made bis heaters icnlizo they me sinners and thnt they need the atoning blood of Christ. Ho has leal nod thnt many a bcrmou hns been forgotten before the llstenci hns pasted the church's portals because - cause the duties of the coming week or the pleasures of the week just closed con- tnlned something more pleasant for him to think about. Uev. Steelc said ho believes thnt the lack of preparation to hear the gospel Is respon sible for the failure on the pait of the preacher to influence his audience. Those who Intend to listen to the word of God reverently and devoutly come into the sanc tuary praying for thnt understanding which will lend them closer to Him. Ho told how ono had converted 3,000 souls at one ser mon lit the days of the disciples , but now it seems sometimes that 3,000 sermons are I necessary to convert ono soul. Then ho I quoted his text : "The AS ore ! preached did not profit thorn , not being mixed with faith In them that hoard it " The speaker said the world needs the simple gospel today Just as much as it ever did. Knch sinner requires assistance in a different way and he prayed that ministers may appreciate best how to present it nnd sinners best how to receive it.

When you nro listening to the philosopher you observe how profoundly ihe cnn dilate upon itho Btnr of empire going westward and what ho says ho snys so easily that the bother of getting people to come out west and grow up vvlth 'tho ' country Is entirely for gotten. 'It wilt come ; yes , immigration will surely come , ' itho philosopher is apt to observe - servo with such reassuring posltiveness , but Just then > ou begin to ttilnk of the vast dif ference bolwecu our sociological prophet and the average man ot business. What the one Is talking about , while seated so comfort ably in nn upholstered ohnir nnd wearing such n complacent mien , the other is doing by good hard work.

We can't nlwajs get railroad fares Just ns low as vvb want ( them , as you say , the fares maybe bo easier to Florida or Texas , nnd it is not always an easy matter to convince the rail roads that there would bo money for them In a cheap homescekers' ticket to Nebraska nnd other western states. Tlio result Is that tlio business man who is Interested in de velopment lines and wants to realize on his land Investments by having people come here and Bettlo down to a llfo of prosperity and happiness has to work all the harder to In duce itho Immigrant to come and this means a great deal more pushing than philosophy.
