WWhatever uncertainty Mr. Lauterbach may be able to d.scover in the Demo- cratic excise declaration, there certainly 4e pone in the Republican plank. That party has committed itself definitely in favor of the maintenance of the exist- Ing Sunday laws, the technical and un- Feasonable enforcement of which occa- sions so much distress in this city. There can be as little doubt upon Mr. Lauter- Dach's own position on this question. He ts openly and evidently against the maintenance of these laws and against their oppressive enforcement. What right bas Mr. Lauterbach, with much views, standing on such a plat- form, to reflect upon the straight‘or- ‘wardness of the Democrats Shai the man who rides with his face towards the tail of his horse cast slurs upon another man for sitting astride? Party and factional differences do not Prevent the extending of deep and eral sympathy to Commissioner Brook- Meld over his sudden aMiction. {LANDERING THE GERMAN:. Dr, Parkhurst is reported as saying | yesterday that the “set-back of reform” | through the forcing of the excise issue fe “due entirely to the petty personal spirit of those Germans who put their bodily comforts ahead of all other con- ented as charging such Germans with “@ willingness to commit crime rather than wait for the amendment of la displeasing to them," and he asks “if they should be conceded a partial day opening op Sunday, how do we know they would not take more?” ‘The assertion that the Germans forced the excise issue into the campaign is| 4s inaccurate as it is unjust. Warner | Miller forced the issue when he offered a plank for the Republican platform an nouncing the determination of the party | to “maintain the Sunday Blue laws. | ‘The Republican party forced the issue | when {ts Convention unanimously ac: cepted that plank. Dr. Parkhurst does cruel injustice to the German people when he alicges they would commit crime rather than (isap- point their appetite. Germans respect | law and order fully as much as any pev- | ple in the United Btates. If they indig- mantly denounce the Sunday Ilue laws the Repubiicans are pledged to mal:tain, | it Ie because those laws violate the spirit of Mberty, rob men of their const tonal and natural rights, discriminate im favor of the rich against the poor, revive the spirit of bigotry and oppres- sion that drove the Pilgrim Fathers to these shores und establish in piace of Bree America the worst tyranny to which mankind can be subjected—a tyranny of moral and religious persecu- tion. The German-Americans are opposed to the despotic intolerance of the Sunday laws not because they love beer, but be- cause they love that Freedom for which they sought their adopted countr; Free ballots should always count for @ free government.

When it became evident that he had Dunra- vened and declined to play, the young woman fainted, the mother raved, the minister went to lunch, the guests dis- persed, and now the disappointed girl is seriously {1l, and the lawyers are called In. Of course, much affairs are very an- Noying, and a man who would be guilty of such conduct deserves severe punish- ment. When a father or a big brother is in the case he ought to be certain to recelve his deserts. But the girl, instead of breaking her heart, ought to be very thankful for the escape she has had. She may de- pend on the fact that the sneaking coward who would cheat her at the foot of the altar would have made a worthiess husband, and would have rendered her whole future life wretched, If young women had more sense and less sensi- blilty this is the view they should take of such a matter. The Rochester girl had a narrow escape from life-long un- happiness, Mr. Lauterbach will hardly divert at- tention from the postion of tis own party by loudly calling out that the oth- er ono has straddled tho excise issue.

The Brookfield party with all the patronage of the Publ: Department at {ts back has not su ceeded in getting one-third of the dele- gatet This will leave the question of a straight local ticket or a “combine” to be decided by Mr. Platt. He has been reported as favorable to stra ght homina- tions. Mr. Lauterbach, his firet Heuten- ant, has recently hinted that a combi- nation ticket may be agreed upon, But he adds that if so the candidates will be selected by the Platt people and wild be such men as they may decide upon without any Interference by Goo Goos or Chamber of Comm -rce committves or Btecklerites or O'Brien\tes or any other element. What sort of a ticket would such @ ticket be? Would It command the con- fidence of the cit.zens? Would it get their votes? Would It be a guarantee of good government?
