He in: they are not “blue laws," and decia it will be the duty of Republicaniam to force strict Sabbatarianism by penal statutes. ‘The exttavagant arguments of these fanatics prove how completely they are Diinded by Puritanical seal. Mr, Miller contends that the Constitution recog: | nizes the steict obsesvance of the Bab- bath because all public business ts sus- ded on that day. He asks why a special law should be made to favor the suloon-keeper, and Insists that to license Deer selling on Sundays by a local vote | would be the same as to license gam-| ling dens or disorderly house: Public business ts suspended on Sun- day because it is a day of rest. A well-| regulated Sunday law ts not in the in- tercat of the saloon-keeper, but of per- sonal liberty. Gambling and other vices are illegal at all times, Selling beer is) not. Mr, Miller might as well argue | that local option tn allowing the sale | of beer on Sunday might lead to local option in picking pockets and commit- ting burglaries. ‘The fanatics obstinately close thoir eyes to the fact that the fight against the Bunday lawe is not a fight for beer, but @ struggle for the rights of the people to spend their Sundays as they spend all other days, in accordance witi | thelr own consciences and their own! wishes, and not in conformity with the! consciences and wishes of other people, Richard Croker will continue to lay out Tammany’s course.

Year by year it becomes more and more evi- dent that an hereditary House of Lords stands as an irremovable barrier aga!nst the advance of popular rights. There can be no real Uberty, no prospect of progress when a necessary portion of the legislative machinery of a country which can never be changed stands in ‘atural and determined opposition to enlarged privileges to the people. Guch a bsrrier cannot exist in this ase. It must be removed by easy, friendly compromise or swept away by fevolutionary violence, But it must go, It would be wise if the Conservatives ‘would prepare for the peaceful remedy. But no reliance is to be placed on the fumor that they intend to do so.

He certainly should refrain from misrepresenting the rev. erend reformer. He 1s quoted as say: ing last night to an uptown assem- Dlage that “Dr, Parkhurst has not de- clared one way or the other on the exelse question.” On the contrary, the doctor has declared very positively and openly on the side of homo rule and more Hberal laws.

Dr, Munro, later on, remarks in @ burst of eloquence, simply reeking of the lecture platform: “It isn't true that the laws of nature have been capri- clously disturbed; that snakes have talked; that women have turned to salt; that rods have brought water out of rocks, You must in honesty confess that if these things were brought to us when we were adults, for the first UUme, we should smile at them.” As it Is, however. we have heard these sentiments so frequently, and they are such “chestnuts,” that all we can do {s to groan at them and let them pass by. Doyle advances a rather amusing thing as to the ultimate uses of drunkenness and immorality, He calls them “two Invisible hands, hovering over the gar- den of life, and plucking up the weeds.” Struma, tubercle and nervous disease, he says, “have all lent a hand towards the pruning off of that rotten branch, and the average of the race is, there- fore, improved." ‘This he sets forth in rystall:ged” shape in a thirtcen-versed poem, which contains the followin Ho atrews the microbes in the lung, The Vlood-clot In the brain; With test and teat he picks the best, ‘Then texte them once again.

For Instance, {f one realer has a lively ex pression, pale coloring, red ilps, tawny hair and a round and fui! neck, she should place tn her frizzled locks a erm. |son flower, her dress should be of red tulle, cut low to show the dazaling whitencss of her shoulders, long floating slee ves of tuile, which will haif conceal, half reveal, her snowy arms, and a belt of red mo.re to encircle her flexibge, but not slender, waist.

FRANK M'CORMICK, A Queer B To the Fuitor One signing himself ‘Greg’? seems to think that quoting scriptural characters is quoting scriptural doctrine. He is a wretchedly shallow garbler, and designedly attempts to mislead. Tho verse in Proverbs to which he refers ts a bit of the poimt of which he is too dull to perceive. It says: ‘Give strong drink unto him that ie ready to perish;" 1. @., it Is safe to give {t to dying men only, men wounded in the body for in the heart. An honest man would have re ferred to verses preceding this special one (vers: 6) In which King Lemuel’s mother urges total abstinence from drink. In verses 3 and 4, she saya: “Give mot thy strength unto woman, nor thy ways to that which dostroyeth kings. It js not for kings, O Lemuel, it ty not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes streng drink. There is oo scriptural doctrine concerning drink excepting this: ‘No drunkard shall exter the Kingdom of heaven."?

To the Editor: Are we to be aMficted with a revival of religious persecution under the guise of an atleged moral- ity? It looks Hike It, We have been brought up to regard Christianity as teaching « spirit of micekness and peace, of moral suasion instead of violence, y@t we gow see Christians, some of them, doing all they can to forbid this and en- force that by viol Soon we shall have Sun- day excursions forbidden, and after that perhaps enforced church-going. J am gure that it te bu: & small minority that is doing this, Many Christians even object to 1, while the vast mass that are not Christians have learned not to throw stones, But the friends of Iberty must demand Uberty on broader grounds thin hitherio, They must deny every claim to restrict Uberty om grounds of morality. It is enough that th Who wich to be moral siould be free to be moral; they must perimit those who wish to be Immoral t be Immoral; because half we Ume what I alleged to be morality 1s really ‘mmore ty, and what a auppresnod ax immorality really morality; and because all the time enforced morality at the best is but enfor | hypocrisy. Freedom, if we had it, would mean j freedom to keep a saloon as freely as a grocery, |open at any hour of any day. ft would mean | freedom to buy as well as sell, wl | lcense or Mmit, morphine and whiske: as milk, and to poison one's self, too, slowly or quickly, with morphine or whiskey, or even with milk, for to some, 1 am told, milk Is poison THOMAS B, HUDSON.
