WE kEEr rmE SABBATH molly,

Ever since the Centennial Exhibition
in Philadelphia opened. the question OF
opening the great show on Sundays has
been agitatsd. It was argued. and here
came the great argument ; in fact the
only one worth considering. that our
European visitors were always accustom-
ed to zee their exhibitions open on Sun
day. and that therefore. out Of respect
to them. we should throw the doors OF
the Centennial Exposition open to them
ON that day. We fail to see any reason
in this argument. At Berlin and at
Paris there were many American visit
ou. These American visitors were nat
urally opposed to the opening Of the
Exposition on Sundays. They had too
much sense, however. to ask the Com
~missioners to close ii. Why should our
foreign visitors arrogats to themselves
what We never claimed in foreign coun-
tries. the right to run our Centennial
Exhibition
The following scrap Of news came
yesterday by telegraph:
The United States Commissioners have
decided BY . vote VI % To 10 to Keep the
Exhibition closed on Sundays.
It is remarkably suggestive. 1t means
