Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-08-17

| a meaning thot meant moro, and beyond that it
said. They felt that Cincinnati on this question
was to become an example and precedent;
could be used for or against religious tyranny,
or federation and fair play. They decided just
| ly. Protestants may omit all Bible reading in
the schools if they see fit, but while they pay
most the taxes for their support and are respon-
sbe for their management, they do not mean
to be driven from their position by theocratic
assumers and INSCRIPTIONS dogmatsts. There
is one adopted nationality in America that
must learn that 'Aies don't take to vinegar"
At present the strife is whether certain city
ordinances to preserve the orderly quiet of the
city shall be repealed, or continue and be en-.
forced. Now, it is chiefly the German and not
the lrishman that assumes the offensive, and
demands repeal, that they may deSecrate by
lager biering, card playing, and a general
carousing, no matter whom, or how many they
may offend or disturb, OF what moral laws they
trample on. To the credit of many of the gener-
GUS, we are glad to write that they have recently
held large meeting, had addresses and unani-
mously adopted resolutions sustaining to the ut
termost the Sunday laws. The strife is waxing
hard. The danger is that it will become party
political question, aud knavish wire pullers and
small pot house politicians ride fraudulently
into temporary power and procure the repeal.
But, if they succeed, the victory will be short
We trust that Cincinnati is right yet-cannot
be tripped or brow-beaten. Though nigh unto
the old slave hive, there is much of the indie
pendence and justice of liberty. We might go
farther into descriptive details. But the aim is
merely to outline. Suffice it toIsay, that she is
growing apace, as are her other western sisters
There is not so much loud talk and newspaper
egotism and exaggeraton about it as there is
in Chicago; but becoming, and modest setting
forth of claims and merits. But we can pardon
a good deal to the local land constantly "great
am" of Chicago and some other places, when we
remember that twenty years ago it was a mud
hole, and some Others prairie wastes.
Give them their deserts and let them glorify.
1t will do no harm If they do not tell too many
whoppers about population, valuation and the
prices of corner lots. They have done mar
velous work throughout this wide and magnifi-
cent domain, and are worthy the plaudits of the
republic. Every American ought to say "Amen,"
common country.
From Cincinnati we traversed on to Toledo,
through highly cultivated region, passing
Hamilton and Dayton. Toledo numbers 10000
people. 1t handsomely located on the lake shore
and promises more prosperous hereafter. Then
to Cleveland sitting so queenly on the sloping
bluffs of Lake Erie-containing nearly 100000
souls. Bayard Taylor has lately said in his
Tribune letters from the northwest, that Euclid
avenue (the Beacon street Of the city, is the
finest of its kind in the land. His verdict is
worth having. Certainly we can indorse it.
Running along the lake margin, 100 feet or
more above the water, commanding a genuine
"sea view" Of the lake, water, and horizon
coalescing. 1t is some fifteen rods in width
lined on both sides with shaded walks and they in
turn bordered with spacious gardens and grounds
in front of stately and elegant dwellings. If it
can be outdone for elegance, taste, beauty, COM
fort in this country cite the instance, pray?
Cleveland reminds US OF New England city, in
appearance especially; considerably in ways
and customs. 1t would not be inappropriate
to call it the "Worcester of West" only her
streets are regular-ours not. Evidently the
laws plan and project them on system, not the
private whims and views of few individual
owners. This is a public affair and it ought to
be controlled by the public, if we would do JUS
tice to ourselves, gee beyond our noses, and
wisely plan for a generation other than our
own. DELTA.
