THE LAGER BEER QURsTIoN-The Ger
mans In this city have split on the question Of
the excise law-one set, under the leadership
OF DR.. Schultz, making up their minds to stand
by the Republican party whether they have
their beer on Sunday or no. and the other hay
ing appointed committee to find out whether
the Republican candidates Will promise to in
troduce and support An act to amend the $50.
called excise law to conform to the resolution
adopted by the Republican State Con vention
at Syracuse in regard to said excise law. We
think "the said excise law might be very
properly dealt with by taking note OF the fact
that habitual drinkers OF lager beer remain or
derly. sober and respectable citizens, and that
habitual drinkers of rum, whisky snd brandy
are, as rule, ruffians of the worst type
Legislation which recognizes the facts OF life
is likely to stand in free country, but we
doubt if any other ever will. The cry OF sin
fidel'' which is raised against the Germans for
their disregard of the "ChrIstian Sabbath" is
not reeorted to by any honest man who knows
what ne is talking about. In tue countries
from which the Germans came, pious Protes-
tant ministers Of high standing do, without
scruple or scandal, the very thing the New
York Germans want to be allowed to do-go
to beer gardens on Sunday after noon and pass
it In drin king and smoking The practice in
their case proves nothing whatever as to Il
mans life or docLrine.-The Nation.
