SUNDAY LAWS.

In this paper will be found an article
from the Chicago Times in regard to keep
ing open the Exposition in that city on
Sundays which The ARGUS approves, No
one objects to opening the New York Cen
trail Park on Sunday Thousands of peo-
pie visit the grounds, the statuary gallery,
the menagerie, the museum, and pass day
of recreation aud real happiness there.
Why not in the Chicago Exposition? 1t
hinders no one from attending church who
desire to do 80, and it calls. thousands of
people from frivolous and perhaps vicious
occupations to the contemplation of use
full, instructive and beautiful things.
THE ARGUS does not believe in or in
dorse any such thing as Sunday laws The
constitutions of the United States and of
the several states forbid the enactment of
any law OF the subject of religion, and
these organic laws have been violated
wherever Sunday laws have been enacted.
Any law requiring the observance of that
day, the cessation of work on that day.
prohibiting men from pursuing their vari-
Gus occupations if they please, is law on
the subject of religion, and is unconstitu-
tional aud contrary to republican liberty.
All that matter should be left
to the people, as instructed by
their churches. There is no power
to enforce any such law, except as police
regulation, IA regulation to preserve the
public peace AS long as men do not dis
turb the public peace, they have the same
right to do just what they please on Sun
day or on any other day. The observance
of the Holy Sabbath must be left to the
religious education of the people, to their
sense OF moral duties to themselves, their
families and the public. Neither the city
nor the state has any more CONSTITUTIONAL
or legal right to prevent the sale OF liquor
on Sunday than to prevent hotel keeper
from entertaining his guests, or a livery
stable man, or barber, or milk dealer
from pursuing his ordinary ayocatlons'
The right to close saloon on Sunday can
only be justified as police regulation, in
view of possible riots or disturbances OF
the peace, as is done on election days
And reasonable grounds for such impend-
ing riot or disturbance of the peace must
be shown. Nor is there any more impro-
priety or immortality in carrying on the
business of an orderly well regulated sa
loon on that day than in carrying on the
business of restaurant or livery stable,
or tobacco store. Let the teachers OF
religion educate the people byappealing to
their sense of right or wrong not attempt
to do it by law. The former ought to be
success. The latter will certainly be
failure

Reasons why they Only
should be Used!

THEIR REPUTATION is ESTABLISHED
Thousands of testimonials have been received
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing cases of long standing, many o
them considered hopeless.
THERE Is NO RISK IN TAKING THEM
They contain nothing injurious, and, therefore
cause none of the lingering diseases so often the
result OF the many nostrums of the day. Physicians
recommended them as superior to Quinine any
other known remedy, for they leave the system in
healthy state and the patient beyond the probable
ity of relapse.
