The disturbance Of the Protestant and Catholic
elements in this city isIncreasng, and fears are
tertained that Sunday, December 18th will not be
got over without storm of riot, unless, appears
now probable, a storm of rain should prevent all
out door gatherings and street demonstration the
part o. either the hostile parties.
The Mayor issued a proclamation, yesterday, ex
horting to peace and Christian kindness, and re-
questing all to abstain from assemblages in the ss
especially on the Sabbath. He also publishes an
extract from an ordinance of 1889, which allows
him TO prevent street preaching,
The Mayor may have had the law on his side, but
his Interference with Parsons, last Sunday, was
iMiudcious and unnecessary. There was then Ito
bad feeling, and really no ianger of riot. Since
he was stopped from preaching, however, the usu-
oil cry of persecution and outrage the liberty of
speech has had its usual effect, and has made Mt.
Parsons hero, who enliSiS OH his side the whole

rhe Liauor Raw n indiana.

The Indianapolis Journal contains the decision
in full of the Supreme Court in Indiana in relation
to the law passed last year by The Legislature of
that State concerning the sale OF liquor.
The law provided that the matter should be sub
mitted 10 the various township5 in the state, aud
in those which voted in favor of restricting the
sale, no sale should be made without Sublecting the
offender to the penalties prescribed in the act
Those townships which voted against the law
could lit ense whom thlylchoae to sell, but that
liquor should be sold without license.
The Supreme Court held the law to be in conflict
with the following provisions of the State consti-
tuition:
"The legislative authority Of the State shall be
vested in the General Assembly, consisting of
Senate and House of Representatives.
"No law shall be passed, the taking effect of
whichs shall be made 10 depend upon any authors
ty except as provided in this constitution.
''Local laws for thepuniShment of offenders and
for the regulation of county and township business
are expressly forbidden. s'T
.sWhenever general law be made appli-
cable, all laws shall be general and of q uniform
operation throughout the State" 5-ssE
Thu act gave power to the townships to affirm
or nulIlfy law which the court deemed they had
no constitutional power to do.
h There can be no doubt that the decision of the
court is Just. 1t will put an end to shutting legs-
lation, aud place the responsibiftyof making laws
upon the Legislature, where IT belongs. TIL re-
ferrng nearly balanced questions to the people is
a mere expedient Of cowardly politicians, who
have not the manhood to assume The responsibility
of their position, and who wish to eyade it by
throwing it upon the people; and this they do un-
der the demagogue pretext of regard for the popu-
lar verdict 1t is well that the Iniquity should have
an end.-Ci Cincinnati Gazette.

SAD FALL-On Thursday last Mr.. Chitester,
principal book keeper in w. L. Strong & Co.'s
store, was detected in embezzing funds and pur
Joining goods from the store. It was at once
charged home upon him, but he stoutly denied it,
until tie proofs were fastened on him, when he
made confession. 1t seems that he had been guilty
OF long series of robberies perfectly astonishing
He would frequently get articles from the store,
enter them upon the day-book, mark them posted,
but never post them. He built himself fine
dwelling, and paid the hands in part from the store
great deal of cash passing into his hands failed
to pass into the drawer. On searching his house,
$3.50 in gold and silver aud about Zoo worth of
goods were found. These he refunded, and as
signing over ms properly for the benefit OF Mr.;
Strong, he left Town before the prosecutor could
be found and papers dawn up for his arrest.
Mr.. Chitester has always sustained very high
character-was deacon IN one of our churches,
a superintendent IN Sabbath school, and leader
in cnor. Such was his duplicity and self-pos-
session, that even while Mr.. Sttongs friends were
in his house making their investigations, he sat
down 20 supper with lis family aud pronounced
the blessing at table usual. Mr.. Strong's loss
by him, so far as ascerlained, is about Sl,200.-

coal bv weight.

The presence of winter Gin snowy mantle Clad"
naturally turns our attention to the wants OF the
season and particularly to the wants of those who
have but limited means of supplying them. Next
10 food and clothing, fuel may be cassed as the
cardinal winter want of the poor man, and ex-
pensive as it has become in our city of late, COM
pared with what it formerly was, we may well ar-
neal to our city fathers TO provide that they shall
at least have good measure for their limited means
of outlay. We doubt not butthat there are many
actually suffering even thus early for the want OF
fuel. Indeed we noticed several times yesterday
little boys along the streets carefully collecting the
Iumps of cool which had fallen from the coal
carts. and we have no doubt that want at home
pronpted this careful act. While instances such
as these nay well excite our sympathes and pre-
pare those, who are better provided, 10 lend
helping hand when necessary towards alleviating
the sufFerines and providing for the wants of the
INDECENT of our city; yet it may well suggest other
steps which may be m,re permanent in their good
results, than the temporary or transient aid which
individual charity may afford. We do not now
refer to charity even, but speak for justice only.
While it is we'll settled both in law and morals
that the ''la5orer is worthy of his hire" it is
equally proper and just that the purchaser should
have equivalent for his outlay.
We have heard numberless complaints, and
have had our attention ever and again direct
ed to the matter, that the coal carts of the city
rarely measure out the 25 bushels which they pur-
port to contain and that in fact they oftener than
otherwise contain from IS to % bushels per load.
II this be true (and we know nothing of the mat
ter but have heard much complaint on the sub
jec,) it is an evil which falls heavily upon the
poorer classes OF cur citizens and it is certainly
evil which requires the speedy and the efficient
interference Of the Council. We learn that the
manufacturing establishments regularly weigh all
coal which they purchase. Could not the Coun-
Gil adopt, If they have moi, and enforce if they
have, some ordinance fixing the weight of coal and
providing that all loads of coal not of proper
weight should either be forfeited or else impose
fines which would ensure compliance with the
law7 Other cities have done this and with good
results. No injustice would be done the coal
owners, for they sell their coal remunerative
prices, and if from inadvertence, oversight, care
lessness of their drivers, injustice is done to buy
ers they should be the first 10 desire the corec-
ton OF the evil, as they and their purchasers
would then Lave ample justice done them. We
hope the Council will attend to this matter eff
cientIy ard promptly. rur-
