The ~"JHRKERs" In CoURr AGAIN
The cases Of several women who were
arrested Saturday morning for having
exhibited themselves in n saloon or ball
room where liquor was sold after IL
o'clock the night before, contrary to
the ordinance governing in such
cases, were yesterday tried in the Po-
lice Court. 1t was set up by the defense
that the persons were not acting as wal
ter girls in the saloon, but were in at
tendance ut q ball given there, and that
they had as much right 10 stay at this
ball after midnight, as any ladies might
have to attend q fashionable ball and
dance till day break. The defense also
claimed that the ordinance conflicted
with the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution Of the United States,
which provides that no State shall make
or enforce any statute denying to per-
sons equal protection Of the law, and
therefore that the Board of Trustees
erred in passing an ordinance 'discrimi-
naling against women in the matter of
remaining in saloons past q certain
hour. The question was argued at con.
siderable length by the counsel, City
Attorney Holl for the prosecution, and
Charles 7. Jones and /. S. Brown for
the defendants, and submitted. The
Court decided the ordinance not in con-
fict with the Constitution, and paying
little attention to the other ground of
defense, found the women guilty. As
the keepers of the "jerker" saloons
have been looking a%nxiously for q
chance to defeat the ordinances passed
by the Trustees relative to them, it is
possible that they will carry this case
to a higher Court, and there get a deci-
sion rs to The constitutionality Of the
inordsnce.-Sae. Union, loM.

CIScISNArI has excluded the Bible,
sacred songs. and prayer from her COM
mon schools. We are at q loss to know
the arguments which banished these
harmless instruments OF education from
the school room. All of them may he
abused. but 10 may any othsr educa-
tioual fundamentally. Doubtless the
movement was q weak concession to
prejudiees, which will in time prove
lameutable. Regarding the Bible merely
as an epitome of history, it is as vala.
able az any other ancient book, and i,
much more so, considering the adapta-
bility OF its style to the young mind.
The purity Of it, English is another
accommodation which no s~slishness
should be allowed to ignore. No higher
model of simplicity and neatness and
succinctness Of expression can be laid
before tho pupil. A devotional song is
the best medium for the acquisition Of
music, and what harm can there be in
invoking the guidance Of the Holy One
in the care of the young? Those inter-
ested in the proper training Of children,

be glad to learn that an injunction has
been granted to restrain the Board from
enforcing their resolution.

BULLION RoBBERY.-About 3 o'clock
Sunday morning, the Stanford mill, at
E~berhardt City, vas robbed OF 1900
ounces of crude bullion, valued atabout
So, 900. It was taken from a chest in
the retort room, at the rear OF the build
ing. The mill was in motion at the
time, and the first known Of the rob-
berry was when one of the workmsn, or
entering the retort room, fell over the
chest, which had been moved several
feet from where it was usually kept.
Lights wero brought, and on examina-
ton not q trace of bullion WAS left. A
buggy was seen in the immediate yicin-
ity during the early part of tho night,
and as oon as daylight came the track
was taken and followed to the assay Of
fee of Max Meyer, in this. city. A little
later, Meyer was arrested and lodged in
Jail. During yesterday, however, he
was released, on giving the officers GER
tain information, which led to the arrest
Of three other parties and the recovery
of about one-third OF the bullion. At
the request Of Sheriff Irwin, We with
hold for the present the names of those
last arrested, also further particulars
connected with the affair. Meyer was
once arrested on a similar charge in
Virginia City, but was acquitted. On
that occasion he was charged with being

The Commercial Advertiser, Of New
York-a good authority on almost
every subjsct-speaking Of the unjust,
un.Amsrican, aud iuquisitorial income
tax, says "I. is felt to be q g%rierous
burden by all, irrespective of party /;
aud for the poor, or those in moderate
circumstances, to be compelled to pay
FIVE dollars to the tax-gatherers out Of
every one hundred dollars, over and
above a certain amount, is, in truth, an
onerous sxaction. This tax has, doubt
less, next to the temperance legislation,
cost the Republican party more votes
than any other cause" As this organ.
ization is now the dominant one in Con-
gre,s, upon them will rest the onu, Of
extending the life of this unpopular
burden On the prospects Of the country,
for the law expires by limitation next
year, and to say it, legislation to
that effect must be had during the
coming session. The monthly exhibits of
the Public Debt Statement, under the
wise and economical administration of
Grant as President, and Boutwell, in the
Treasury Department, show such a rapid
decrease in our expenditures, with so
large a surplus of gold, that the neces-
sity for lerying this unpopular tax no
longer exists. The Government itself
must DO convinced Of this aud VIC are
satisfed-all reports TO the contrary
Observation-Disclosures the Administra-
,ion is altogether opposed to extending
the term Of the law. The receipts from
customs and other sources are more
than sufficient for the current purposes
Of the nation, Snd the Adcertiser is right
when it says that, by abolishing the
tax, eve should lift a heavy weight
from tho shoulders of the masses, and
thus afford a most striking and tangi-
BILE proof that the Republican party is
the poor mans friend, and lsbors to
make the public burdens as light as pos
sible."
