SUNDAY LAWS IN PIrrsRURaH.


The Sunday question IN Pittsburgh is as
suuaing remarkable proportions. Under
the Inv prohibiting traffic On. Sunday a1l the
ealoons have been closed on that day. The
German sa1oon-teepers have been holding
public meetings, in which they have organ
lied for general enforcement OF the law 90
as TO prohibit all kinds of labor oc Sunday.
They propose to institute legal proceedings
against the running Of street csrs and Of
ratroad trains, against livery ssabIe-keepers
hiring terms and vehicles, against the glass
honses, bakeries, newspapers, and all other
trades and business Carried On On Sunday.
In the meantime, the preparations for the
celebration Of the Fourth On Sunday 1te
progressing. The Grand Jury Of Allegheny
County haGe taken the matter up, and have
made m earnest protest against the pro-
posed celebration, in which they say:
"Tnat the Grand Inquest hare learned w.thre-
gret that It is contemplated By portion Of our

The Republican party in Pennsylvania
lave nominated Governor Geary, and in
Ohio Governor Hayes, for re-elecion on
the second Tuesday Of next October.
There never were better PERSONS why the
Republican party should have IN easy
triumph in both these States, if political
trinmphs could ever be easy. But the per-
utar elections is 50 small, seldom exceeding
from two to fise per cent Of the total vote,
that no party can ever afford to assume
that its victory will be en- easy one. Such
IN assumption would relar enough en- ergy,
and leave at issue enough voters,
to neutraIi7p tha small percent
age Of majority and turn the
result the other way. Moreover, the
Democratic vote, not being drawn ont BY
e1igeucies Of principle, but by organiza-
tion and prejudice, works pst as efficiently
when feH or no questions If principle are
at stake as when they n1e numerous and
important. Hence, while the Republican
vote comes cut best at the genetal and
Presidential elections, IN times when excite
meut runs lower the country gravitates to-
ward Democracy. We judge, therefore,
that, demoralized md defeated as the De-
qaocraey are on every issue Of principle or
question Of policy, the Republicans must
relax nothing Of their wonted industry md
energy if they would carry these great
States.
