TO the Eaitor Of The Chicago Tribune
bln: Tho hoax manufactured to ridicule the
"Law-antt- Order" movement huggests thought
worth giving the public. That tho lovers OF Sab
batli-music, lager-beer, and go forth, havo their
rights, we firmly maintain. a mans house is his
castle. and ho sell what he can obtain p,,rcas-
els for, 10 long rs ho does not interfere with tho
rights Of othora. He owns his house and lot, as
Patrick says, 'from tho sintro Of tho arth to tho
top Of the aky."
But lot him aoizo 4 torch, and proceed to burn
his home to tho ground, mud tlle police soizo
htn, and, binding him, boar him to prison.
What! Lea n ho not a otori'al rigls, to do what
moment Ills plans interfere soiM The 1i91ts or en-
danger the tceEI-being Of his noiyhbor, that mo-
ment lo il arrested.
y, Two % cases in hana havo boen decided
bells in tho City Of pnriu, france, was arrested
for disturbing Lis neglbors. After n carofnl
examination OF tlo law the Court decided TINT
the climer Of bolls had . right to beat his great
bella with aa largo hammer, and nuke lust
as much Of n clangor, nj ho pleased, and tic
law would hold him inyiolablo in it, I,ut. tic
moment Ills noghbors wore disturbed, lho div.
turber must alato Tho nuisance, or bo arreBtes1
and imprisoned until llo could Igivo bail not tC
Another case WAS deciled in New York City,
where Il Methodist Church waB plaintiff against
oortaln Jows, who ran their aewing- machinery,
directly adjoining tho church, on Sunday. TIC
Court held that the Worhtnon had a perfect
right to labor on the Sabbath, but not to the diB-
turblng OF tic worrhipeys III tho church, Tho
nuisance complained OF must, therefore, be
AbAted.
Thus, tho lovers Of sunlay-m,,Bic have an in
horont right to locate their band on tho lot Of
Airs. Pcach {Ilanlin'B tract), npar Lincoln park
and make all tho noHe thoy wish. But tho
law wiil l nlso protect tho noighbors in having u
Jows could prouo tho misunderstanding Of Of lie
band in Lincoln Park was q nuisance, and dis
turbod thom in their doyotiouH, presume tho
Court would feel compelled to abato it.
We trust Mr.. 1tosing will, in courso of the
nineteenth century, lenrn thnt aomo people
have their rights Us we'll as others.

To tie Editor Of TIC Chicago Tribune:
Sir: Tho unexpected and inoxplicablo refusal
by tho Commissioners of Lincoln Park to permit
sunday-aftornoon concerts In tho Park il still
tho theme Of conversation, particularly OH tho
North Side and thoir action, or rather thoir
want OF action by indefinitely postponing tho
subject, is severely commented upon in various
quarters. While men Of standing in tho COM
mnnity arc unroseryodly in favor OF such FREQ
concerts for tho people, and whilo tho opposition
Is confined to some men who bolioyo that thoir
road to oaycn haB to bo travelled by all of ue, it
roally seems strange that the Commissioners did
take 10 action, as everybody comedies Tint
they aro honorable md well-noaning man. To
On onsc their minds, 1t may, pcrlaals,, bo wo1l
to inform them Tint, III tho Quaker City
Of plliladelphia, Sunday afternoon concerts
regularly tako place i'll Fairnaount Park, and COL
j. ". Torney, who was hero n fow months ago,
stated that they wore considered to DO a great
success. At tho Hub Of tho Universe, !" loH-
ton, these Snnday-atlornoon CONCERTS tako place
on tho Common; tho programme in a very TO-
lcct ono, and. il the Commissioners will look et
tho Inst number Of tho boston Gazette. tloy viii
find that the last number OF the programme was
"old Hundred" which was first to 30 played by
The orchestra, upon which, tho paper aays, tho
clti2ons wero expected to sing tho time-lo1l-
oroa tnno. while tho baud would play tile ACCOM-
panimont.
IL such things occur in front of Beacon atroet,
think tue Commissioners ought not to hesitate
to permit sucll concerts in Lincoln Park, Tlo
crowd will certainly 10 just III orderly as in tho
old puritanical city OF tho Bay state. Liberal.
