Mr. McOrary's bill for tho appointment OF n
Government Board Of Railroad Commissioners,
and for the prohibition Of unreasonable ohargea
by Interstate railroads, has boon reported
favorably by the Houao Committee On Railroads
and CanalB. The Committee mako long arg11-
mont to establish tho conBtitutionaity
and oxpcdiency Of such legislation. Congress-
Is distinctly. granted power to rogulato
commerce bosweou tho statcs, and that,
tho Committee argto, with great
deal OF ohop logic. coyors tho ground. Congress
has the same power ovor Interstate railway
traffic that individual statea have over thoir IN
terual traffic. Tie regulation OF Interstate
railroads by tho aoyeral statoa is impossible.
There must bo national regulation or mono.
The question, as they put it, is, whether those
corporations ahal1 oo controlled by tho Todoral
Government or left unbridtoi.

THE LAKE-ER1NT.

bill has boon proposed in tho Legislature
having for ita supposed object tho granting ol
authority to tho City Of Chicago to sell por-
tion Of the lake-front to tho railroads for depot
purposes. Tho effect Of the bill extends much
further. It is general grant to tho Common
Council OF any city to sell any park, or ground,
lands, or lots belonging to the city upon tho yoto
Of throo-fourthB Of tho members of the Common
Council.
30 far as this bill Is intended to authorize tl,ia
city to doed its interest in tho three blocks q
land tn tho north part OF Lnho Park to tho rail.
road companios for depot purposes, It is unncces-
Hary. sinco tho companies only aak = quit-claim
deod. 30 far rs 1t ia general authority to tho
Common Council to sell public property, devoted
to public purposes, It ia extremely vicious and
dangerous legislation. Tho public not only
Of this city, but Of tic other citieg in
tho State which havo parks or ox-
poet to have them, are unquostionably
opposed to extending tho power of tho local
authorities to sell any public ground at their
own will or pleasure. Such q power, granted
to tho Common Council Of oyery city in tho
State, would bo general invitation to corrup-
tion. Tie Council would always havo some-
thing to aoil, md DO on the lookout for buyers,
Tho bill opens the door for unlimited iobbory.
and furnishes temptations to Aldermen which
should neYor be thrown in tholr way. Undor
this bill, tho Common Council of Chicago NAV
at any timo soil Union Park, Lake Park, Joffer-
son Park, Lincoln Park, or any othor public
property. The city doea not want to aoll INV
part of Lake Park south OF the Exposition
building; and would not sell any north Of it, but
for tho fact that business has usurped tho 3D.
|acont territory, and tho fire has groatly dopro-
:iatod its valuo. South Of tho Exposition build
ing re can have, as Mr.. Cleveland, tho wolf
tnown landscape architect, has shown, the finest
'splanade in tho country. This part Of tho
ground can bo fitted up at very little cost as a
oublio park. and remain so for q generation Mt |
east. 1t ought not to be sold or exposed to tho |
lazard Of sale.

prohibiting dancing, oreratio anl thoatrical en-
tortainmonts, and ungodly singing should bo
strictly enforced, and aont ngonls round to tho
various German places Of amusement to 800 Tint
tho law WAS cnrrfed out. Tho tleatreB, and
| operas, and dancoa woro very generally sup
preaseo by tho Germans themselves, and con-
corts woro substituted in their steadB. This
throw tho burden Of deciding tho difference bo-
tween sacred and profano music upon tho agents
OF tho Young Mons Chrlsttan Association.
What the result WIS has not yet boon statol, but
it thoHo agents wore able to distinguish
between sacrod and profano music, they
must hnvo been bloRsed with unusual
discrimination and musical intelligence. Boston,
which ia highly moral city and tho home Of
Puritan idoas, haa endured performances OF
tho Aimee Opcra-Doufro Troupe, under tho de-
nomination Of sacre1 concerts, without mur-
1nur. dilmoro's Band has played Strauss and
in the shadow Of haf-a-dozon churches, and 1t
hna boen accepted aH sacred muaic. In many
oratorios and masses thoro Ia music which might
be called profano. In many operas and secular
compositions thorc aro prayers, and ]itanies,
md roquioms Which are certainly sacred. Who
ia to decide ? Who Gun run the whole gamut of
oratorfos. operas, symphonies, massos, oyer
lures, aud detached songs, md say at onco
this ia sacred and this is mott Tho
agents OF tho Christian Association would
probably decide TINT all music which was not q
psalm or hymn Ia profano, but this Ia manifostly
absurd because large proportion OF those
psalms and hymns arc aet to music stolen from
tho most worldly sources and, further than
this, to somo pooplo all music is sacred.
It Ia not impossible TINT this pushing OF tho
Sunday question to q fanatcal extreme will re-
sult in tho total repeal Of tho Sunday laws by
tho General Assembly. Tho Gormans arc do
tcr1nfned to teHt the matter IN tho courts md try
the constitutionatity Of tho'law. Tho Constitu-
tton Of Now York proqidcB as follows:
Tho FREQ exercise and enjoyment Of religious profess
aion anil worship without discrimination or prefer
enco shaf forever DO allowed In this State to ali man
Kind and no person sha DO rendered incompetent to
10 witness on account of his opinions nat.crs Of
religious belief; hut the Hhorty Of conscience hereby
ahn not bc 80 construed to excuse acts OF
Justify practices Inconsistent with
tho peace Or Bafcty Of this 8taso
This low places but ono restriction upon lib
orty Of conscience, and That is, "Acts of lcen-
ttousness or practices inconsistent with tho |
ponce and safety Of the State" It will not DO
very difficult for tho Germans to blow tl,at
.hoir music doos not como under either Of tnese |
definitions.

The WAT which Sir Bart1o Frero aud the Indian
Government haye declared against tho Bengal
famine will have to be- pushed vigorously.
Later reporta Indicate tint the distress and
scarcity arc increasing, and preparing
rich harvest for tue Hndoo spooulators whose
sharp eyes arc already fastened on this fold
for gain. All the other parts Of India will prob
ably have to be taxed for the relief Of tho
Bengaloae, and the English Government will
also havo to send them large quantities Of pro-
VISIONS as it did in the case Of the Irish famine
Of 1847.
