Seer is QUN AND: PISTOL SHOOTING. ‘The sorrowful stato of the public mind did not permit the ordinary extravagance fn tho way of explosive noises on tho Fourth of duly this year. ‘Chousands of persons, who havo annually oxtensive eventing displays of fireworks: omitted them ullogether on Monday Inst. > But there was never theless a too frequent discharge of pistols of ‘all sizes during the’ day by thoge who would be glu to engage in that amusement on any day. We ito not suppose that’ public opinion 1s prepared to suppress tho explosive form of celebration on the Fouyth of July, especially the evening dis- plays of llreworks, but wedo think that public opinion Is opposed to tho firing of guns and pistols by day or by night and will insist that itshall bo stopped. That is the most senseless of ali the forma of insking noise; itis also the greatest nufsanee, and Is really the cause of nore loss of Life and of personal injury than any other ineldents of Fourth- of-July celebrations, . Thore ts an ordinance of the city prohibtt- ing such proceedings, but placing all: power over.the matter in the discretion of the Mayor. ‘The Muyor gencrally Issues a proe- Intnntion Jimiting the extent to whieh firing and fireworks muy take: place, but the rule has been to accept. the proclamation as livense to everyboily to do what he ‘pleases, ‘The Mayot this yearissued his proclamation, in which-he especially prohibited tho firing of guns and pistols In the streuis and alleys of the city, and that proctamation might have saved two lives and several cnses of matming and othor personal injury had tt been en- forced, . ‘The truth Is, that, following the old rule, this proclamation was treated, like all its pre- dtecessors, with perfect contompt; no person expected It to be enforced, and’ no person was disappolated. ‘Tho firlag of guns and pistols began early us: ‘Thursday night, and was greafly increased on Friday and Saturday nights, and oven on Sunday even- {ng there was considerable firing. Ind tho polico arrested those firing guns and pistols between Thursday and Monday there would have been no firing on the latter day. ‘Cha arrest of halfn duzen persons on Friday, the hnposition of slight (ues, and tho coniisea- tlon of the. guns, and pistols, would have ¢rushed out the business, and on the Fourth’ tliera would have been no persons killed or malimed by gunshot or pistol wounds, Estl- math the number. of boys in the elty between the ages of 7 and: 18 Yours nt 60,000, I -fs nob extravagant to assume that four-lifths of them hayo vistols of some kipd.in their possession, and the exporlence of'n dozen homtehles: during the Inst few years bythe tse of “toy” pistuis shows thag thelr usd Is ns fatal ay the use uf any of the other. varieties. While Itis.too Inte now to remedy the non-enforcement of the ordinance and of tho Mayor’s proclama- tlon on the Fourth, there is much that ean yot boone. ‘The Mayor or Superintendent of Po- Nice can be instructed to seize nnd conilacate every plstol of whatever kind that can bo found in the possession of any minor.
