The Criminal Court jury in the Mclean
embezzlement case has not yet been

business ON Sunday.

Recorder Winters, in an elaborate
opinion, decided yesterday that BARRIERS
were violators of law when they kept
open on Sunday. The ordinance under
which this ruling was made is section 2,
No. IA, and reads as follows:
1t shall be deemed a misdemeanor to
do or cause to be done any of the fol
lowing acts; and any person convicted
thereof shall be fined not less than i've
nor more than fifty dollars:
First-To keep ones place OF bust
ness open on Sunday, or sell on that
day any goods, wares or merchandise,
except tavern keepers, who may furnish
meals and refreshments to ectual guests;
livery stable keepers; apothecaries, who
may sell necessary medicines, and con-
fectioners, who may sell ice cream, soda
water and cakes.
The exceptions made in the above
ordinance are but few, and strict con-
struction would prevent the issuance of
a Monday morning newspaper, as under
the above decision the publisher and
printers who labor on Sunday for the
public are violators Of the long en-
tombed ordinance. The Connecticut
blue laws made it a Enable offence to
kiss your wife on Sunday, or any other
mans wife, and in Memphis the hinge
seems to be whether or not the work
done is one Of necessity or charity. 1t
is very serious question, and one that
should be treated in most judicious
manner by our judges. The cases so
decided will eventually reach the Su-
preme Court for FINAL adjudication.

General Butler pays an unintentional compli-
ment TO the intelligence OF citizens of the Dis-
trict OF Columbia when he asserts that most OF
the vacancies occurring in the departments are
hlied by them. These positions are filed by
competitive examinations participated in by
persons from all parts Of the United States, and
if our citizens distance all other competitors, il
L. certainly creditable, not only to themselves,
but to the District. These examinations are
conducted without reference to states or terri
tories, and their object Is to secure the best
and women, morally and mentally. But we
suspect the District is credited with more than
ITS share Of clerks in the departments. There
are hundreds Of persons here from the states
Who are only temporary residents, but who,
since they live here, write themselves as belong
ing TO the District Of Columbia. Many OF these
retain homes in the states from which they
come, and expect sooner or later to return to
them Such As these can hardly be set down as
bona fde residents of the District, and ought to
be credited to the states where they belong. A
few Congressmen may occasionally attack the
civil service reform to crafty the elamorous
portion Of their constituents; but probably the
majority are secretly rejoiced at the interposi-
ton OF bar to the importunitiesof their Office
seeking friends.

For pure scoundrelism il womb not be easy %

For pure scoundrelsm il would not be easy tn
surPs>s the efforts now being made By the Clique
of malcontents here to defeat appropriations
Tor the District. One of the latest Is a circular
signed .'Reformer'' "a and addressed 'to the
Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States" IL Is headed embarrassing
Committees of Congress" and charges that the
credit mObilIer committee is a whitewashing
report and that Judge Poland ca also make a
whitewashing report on the District investiga-
ton 10 goes on 20 say that ''since that investi-
cation, and emboldened by that report, the
frauds a.si extravagance of the Board of Pub
&c Works have even surpassed the previous
year; the District is bankrupt for about 500
200; the current annual ia for schools, Do
lice, hTemen, lights, and repairs has been used

contractors ami labOrers, TO pay which the
board II now endeavoring to corrupt Congress
into the passage Of a bill giving them several
millions more, i'm addition to the million and q
quarter recently appropriated" The circular
concludes;-'' BE cautious. gentlemen reform
ers; defeat this raid by the board upon the ma
tiOnai treasury; stop the supplies, and save the
District"
What shall be thought of the men who, he
cause they pave been turned out OF Office for
cause. or have been snubbed i'm their efforts to
make the Board ''cOme down. or for other per-
Sonai griefs thus seek revenge upon this whole
community by trying to prevent the Govern
ment from bearing its proper share of the ex-
PenSe Of improving the city. Every man. wo-
man and child in the District Is Interested in
having these just appropriations male by Con-
gress, and is injured in a corresponding degree
by the work of these malcOntents. And the
question arises: Who pays for printing these
infamous circulars? IL is safe to say that Ii j.
not Messrs. Crane and Watson. They could not
pay Tor the rope TO hang themselves with. Who
has both the requirements of money and malice
to pay the bills: Mr.. Henry s. Davis and Mr..
Roosevelt seem to be cOnfabbing together a
good deal-what do they know about it.
Has Mr.. Jesse Il. Wilson any information on the
point: Let as know who pays for the printing
ct these anonymous circulars desg ned to defeat
appropriations for this District. Fortunately
The statements in these publications are such
shameless. transparent falsehOOds that they
bear their own antdOte. When it Is asserted
Tor instance, that ''the city never was ia ~
hcrrid a condition and 20 muddy before" the
reader can well judge of the moral quality Of
thc anOnS nous scoundrel who signs himself
'RefOrmer, - and this j. a fair specimen OF his

The board Of pharmacy in New York CITY,
created by the state legislature in 1871. and or
eanized last June, has already done much to
elevate the standing Of druggists and prevent
accidents from the compromising Of medicines
by inexperienced parties There are about
twelve hundred persons in New York subject to
the Law, and Of the number nine hundred have
reported for examination and registration. All
lose who fail TO pass a satisfactory examina-
ton are compelled by law to leave the business
. once, and many Of those who knew their ina
tity to pass the examination sold out, and
ere Is no longer any danger Of persons being
\ 'isoned through their ignorance or careless
r.ss- Those who fail to respond to the no.ifica-
TIN OF the board directing them to appear for
examination are compelled to retire from the
drug business or subject themselves to prosecu-
ton for violating the new law. The examina-
ton Is very rigid, and all persons rejected must
take a two years course OF study in the college
81 pharmacy before the board will again test
their qualifications As druggists.
