Wilbur F. Crafts, secre- tary of the American Sabbath union, in his dis- | course last night in the Congregational church on “Sunday work and Sunday amusements,” Then he added: “But there is still great room for improvement. In my strolling this morn- ing I noticed that there were several forme of mechanic labor going on, and some kinds of shopkeeping.” This was in his preliminary re- marks, while reading the lesson from Nehemiah, who, he eaid, was the original Sabbath-enfore- ing mayor. When he had been introduced by Rev. Dr. Newman he held up an odd-looking affair that resembled a very thin pistol It was, he said, an oriental saw, working only on the back stroke, and was such a oneas the Savior laid down each Saturday night, a badge of honest labor. The chief interest of every workingman. he said, is to preserve entire one independence day in each week. THE RELIGIOUS SABBATH AND THR CIVIL SAB- BATH. It is desirable to keep separate the religious Sabbath, which is whollya matter between man and his conscience, and the civil Sabbath, which is a matter between the state and the man. There are certain admissions which every man makes with reference to the Sabbath question. The first of these is that man has a natural need for, and therefore a natural right to, a weekly rest-day; second, this day must be sommon; third, it must be protected by law; and lastly. there must be three exceptions to such a law, works of necessity, works of mercy, and Jews, Seventh Day Adventists and Seventh Day Baptists. The real Sabbath question, he added, is “Can we not make a fourth exception as to Sunday amusements?” The legislatures of every state but California have suid no, be- cause the amusement vender is a merchant just as much as the dry goods merchant, be- cause the people need one day of absolute quiet to keep themselves sane and because some of these Sunday amusements lead directly, and all of thera indirectly, to dissipation. The District Commissioners, he said, having Proclaimed that there is “no Sunday law in this community,” a peril presents itself. There sure, some police ordinances that y the Commissioners in an e. The idea of the Com- missioners is a good one, that the District should heve enacted for its guidance the very best law, the best parts of the best laws, or a combination of all of them. beyond the character de his is a model city on, which is not equaled for wretchedness.

The business streets of the city present a most animated appearance. Christmas shop- ping has begun in earnest. The stores are filled with attractive and seasonable goods and the store windows make abrilliant show. Many do their shopping now to avoid the crush that will come during the last two or three days be- fore Christmas. Intending purchasers can find 8 faithful index to the stores of the city and the goods offered in the advertising columns of Tue Star. To further assist them Tar Star continues to publish from day to day notices of mercantile establishments where one can be sure of finding goods of the best quality and reasonable prices, Ancther firm that makes a specialty of cloaks is SrRasnuncEn’s, nt 404 and 406 7th street. Plush jackets at surprising prices are being sold out rapidly. Heavy wool beaver jackets, Just the thing for the cold days that are com- ing. are offered at low figures. Newmarkets are plentiful, so far as variety is concerned, and garments of that description in solid colors and striped effects can be purchased for a sur- ages sum. Low prices are the rule this weel Everybody in Washington knows where the Box Maxcue is and the probabilities are that everybody knows that the Bon Marche is making a Christmas specialty of cloaks, for that interesting fact has been set forth at length in the columns of Tue Star. Not only is the stock of cloaks im- mense and as varied as it can be, but the wraps are being sold at remarkably low prices. There are fine newmarkets at figures which cannot fail to be astonishing when the quality of the goods is seen. Wraps would not be as reason- able were it not that the Bon Marche bad an opportunity to buy a big stock so low it can afford to sell at bargain prices.

It Involves the Titie to Valuable Tide Lands, blanks for An important hearing is in progress at the Interior department today. The question in- volved is as to the title of the tide lands, or land below low water mark, on the coast of Washington, especially along the water front of Seattle. A man by the name of Barnes located some Valentine scrip upon these lands at Seattle, claiming that they were public lands and, therefore, locatable under the land laws of the United States. Acting Land Commis- sioner Stone in a decision sustained this posi- tion, and the hearing today is before First As- sistant Secretary Chandler and Assistant At- torney Shields to determine whether the decis- ion will be sustained. The real point in- volved is whether tide lands thatare at times either wholly or in part covered by water can pro = be said to be public lands. It is con- d by the state of Washington, and also by various land improvement companies, that the title is im the state. It is stated that this case makes an issue of this question for the first time and its decision will affect the owner- ship of the tide lands all along Puget sound. The Northern Pacific railroad com- iy is interested in the case, as they would ave title to a great deal of the land under their land grant. ‘The parties in the case were represented by a great array of lawyers, The state of Washington was represented by At- torney General Jones, Britton & Gray. T. H. N. McPherson, Walter H. Smith of this city, and Samuel Bradford of Baltimore represented Barnes; McDonald, Bright & Fay of this city, the Oregon improvemeut company; Phillips, Lamar Zachry of this city, the West Seat- tle land and improvemen: company: J. K. Me- Cammon of this city, the Tacoma land com- yt Jobu P. Gale and Joba P. Fay of Seattle, Gatzet of that place. * — “Garrison.” To the Editor of Tax Evexine Star: I see that my name is mentioned by two cor- respondents in your paper today in regard to the protests against naming one of our school houses “Garrison,” and I wish merely to say that I decline to enter into any controversy on the subject, either with your correspondents or two others who have in like manner honored me in the Post. I have “ssid my say” and I have nothing to retract. Let them read Eli Thayer's “Kansas Crusade” and turn their blunderbusses on him. Had there been no other reason tor my protest. the respect I have for and the interest I feel in the elevation of our colored people would have been a sufficient incentive to it. The present generation have been grossly de- ceived in respect to Gurrison and his disunion associates, but they are becoming disabused and the colored people are also learning to whom they owe their treedom. The apologists and disciples of Garrison have hitberto had things about their own way, for the reason, it would seem, that they have not been considered Of suilicient consequence to demand general attention; yet it has now become apparent that their insidious representations in falsifying history have worked serious harm and the pub- ie are awakened. It is admitted by the Garrisonites that he Wasa rank disunionist nearly his whole active life and up to the issuing of the emancipation Proclamation. Do the intelligent colored peo- Ble ever stop to think what would have been ir condition had Garrison succeede: breaking up the Union? Canot they see that the southern confederacy (with slavery as its “corner stone”) would have kept their race in bondage for all time? The wonder to me uw that the colored people here themselves do not rise in a body and demand that their school houses shall bear the names either of dis- tinguished white Union men or, what no one should object to, of some of their own well- known patriotic fellow citizens.

The Cronin Jury. The jury in the Cronin case at Chicago were still out this morning, nothing having been heard from them since they retired at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Many rumors were afloat, and there was much talk to the effect that there would be a disagreement of the jury in con- sequence of bribery. Much indignation has been caused among the friends of John Culver, one fof the jurors, by astatement that he is the disagreeing juror, Judge McConnell, be- fore whom the case was tried, has not given up hope of an agreement, and will not say how long he will keep the jury together. States- Attorney Longenecker says he will be ready to goon with a new trial at once in case of dis. agreement, see England’s Dispute with Portugal. London Special to New York Sun, Maj. Serpa Pinto, the Portuguese explorer, has precipitated a quarrel between England and Portugal on the question which is to be the dominant power in Central Africa by in- vading the territory claimed to be within the British sphere of influence, shooting down natives with Gatling guns, seizing Euglish fla and forcing treaties upon the local kings, He has followed this up by a polite invitation to the British missionaries in those remote regions to place themselves under the Portuguese pro- tection. England has a peculiarly energetic consul near the disputed territory, and it is quite on the cards that fighting will have com- menced long before either government can instract its representatives. Meanwhile Lord Salisbury is preparing an ultimatum to Portu- gal. He can safely be stern. for Portugal has no army or navy to speak of, little money and less credit, Aw a set off to these disadvantages she has pride, the surplus of which would be sufficient to equip all the nations of the earth; but this doesn’t count much when there is fighting to be done. So Salisbury will brandish the birch. The In Belge declares that Portugal is resolved to adhere vigorously to her preten- tions regarding Myassaland, however menacing England's attitude may become. ———— ree —____ Foreign Notes of Interest.
