The Sunday Question

is taking on new interest each day. To sat-
isfy all parties is, Of course, entirely beyond
the possibility Of any arrangement. There
is the extremist who holds to the literal OBJ
servance OF the Jewish Sabbath and the lib
eral who would have the European Sunday
engrafted upon American society. To
attempt reconciliation of these would be
like mixing fire and water. The plan
adopted by the centennial commission and
authorized by the laws of Pennsylvania has
evoked the loudest complaint, many of tho
clergy and laity of Philadelphia joining in
most vigorous protest Now let US waive.
for moment, the considerations Of sanctity
that would justify its observance, and look
at the Sabbath from the standpoint of utiI-
ity. 1t is a matter of record-polce record
tOo-that 500 arrests were made in
New York City last Sunday for intoxioation
and the sale Of alcoholic liquor in viola
ton OF the Sunday law. What does
this fact seem to indicate and suggest ?
Indisputably that had there been no statute
to restrain and no authority to terrify, five
times that number would have approximated
the aggregate Of arrests for that day. And
ibis in Gotham, chiefly among the orderly
class Of Germans. OF the crowds
which thirsty for their poEations crossed
the ferries to evade the arm of law,
no census was taken. Suppose now that
with freshet of foreign elements all restric-
ton upon Sunday iestivity at Philadelphia
we're loosened. To throw open the Exhibi-
ton on the seventh day, to start all the
wheels Of industry in a word, to resume BUSH
ness, would be to relax the tension of
authority and virtually create demand for
intoxicating beverages and Justify their sale.
An immense concourse Of people is not
easily handled like a food, it needs to be
tightly banked lest the small assures Of con-
cession allow the whole volume to break loose.
There are some truths, the force OF which
cannot be gagged in year or in life time.
Lisping at first they become articulate in
the revolving centuries and finally speak
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1876-05-26

with full.voiced authority. Such truth is
the necessity Of one day in week for rest
and relaxation. Science urges it; history
proves II experience confirms il. On this
point all parties agree. And since chris.
tianity has appropriated this day for pur-
poses Of worship, aud the ways Of devotion
and ofrest are not at variance, 80 far, at least,
as they affect external acts, il seems strange
that so much prejudice and partiEan venom
should find expression. It is in many
nearly all-oases moro matter Of personal
spite than Of high regard for principle.
Now that summer has returned, the same
spirited discussions may be expected with ref
erence to the cheese-factory and the expected
running ofSuuday excursion trains. In all re.
spects the latter innovation is to be con.
demned. 1t is justified by no extenuating
circumstances. If tourists cannot within
the compass of six days find time to take
their few hours ride from the White Noun.
tains to Lake George or vice versa, presum.
ably the trip is not to be very attractive
enc. Aud il the railroads cannot make
preparations to accommodate the surplus
travel anticipated by this extra provision
promised, they poorly deserve to share the
foreigners purse The real danger is ex-
pressed in the maxim, "give them an inch
aud they'll take an ELL" With the prece.
dent once established Of running Sunday
trains merely for pleasure, who shall say
what would become Of the institution either
as christian ordinance or as a fact dictated
by the laws Of utilityH 1t must at least be
something else than a railroad corporation
which can show the entire harmlessness Of
the arrangement both 10 immediate and re.
mote effects.
With regard TO Cheese-factories the case
seems much the same. II is not necessity
besides being of questionable advantage, to
carry milk one, two or three miles on Sun.
day to where the cheese is made. The
same mix might be quietly set upon the
shelves at home, its cream be made into but.
ter and this an ungentlcmauly assertion Of
individual liberty avoided. But after all
the whole question is relative one What
but few years ago was deemed and de.
nounced as wrong-walking, riding, con-
versation on secular topics or q warm din.
ner--has now become christians privilege,
while things that might smack strongly Of
Sabbatariau infringement in some commu-
mites of this country, are in others, equally
enlightened regarded as innocent and quite
compatible with both reverence and the laws
Of health.
Between each limit, the Baden b aden
aud the Pharisaic, there are many varia.

The repu blican presidential weather vanc
remains pointing 10 the same general direc-
ton, oscillating between Bristow and Blaine.
Apparently the former is to-day somewhat
the stronger man. Hardly a zephyr is
needed to create admirers or defamers for
either. However determined and decided
the politicians may be, the public mind is
not made up as to the coming candidate.
What the people want is a man whose
name is already a watchword of reform,
whose capacity and courage for the work
are matters of record rather than of prom
Use who will restore the simplicity, indie
pendence and recttuds Of the early admin
istrations, and whose early life will be a
guaranty Of his fidelity and fitness"
So prone are men to believe in human fall
libility, and so tenaciously do they cling to
their prepossessions that it is more than posi-.
Bile that neither Blaine nor Brstow will sur
vive the scandals which they are now en-.
gagged in explaining away. There must be
fame where there's smoke" is a favorite
speech with those who are either unable to
trace the sinuous ways of scandal to its
source or prefer to indorse the charges.
Thus mems views are modified from day to
day. A combination reading "Bristow aud
Poland" has been conceived Of and under
the influence of local bias, the desire in this
state for such a ticket has already crystal
liked into something like belief in its posi-.
bility. Thus far, on the other side, Tilden
seems TO be the choice of the better class OF
democratic organs. He certainly has dem
onstrated a tact for reform whether be pos
sesses the genuine instincts for it or not.
This is period when almost any one with
ordinary political insight knows where to
strike to make his telling points, The air
is full Of the echoes of reform and he must
be a leaden.headed person, with no ear at
all for political music, who cannot sound the
keynote Of the hour. There is danger, then,
of hypocrisy. We ought to have man
with history that runs back into the six
ties-a man whose record is more like
wel.rooted organic growth than an ephem.
eral fungus. But with the imperative de.
mand from all sides for a clear and able
candidate, will. modern journalism to expose,
aud illuminate all the Opaque passages of a
mans record, aud with the balance Of
power controlled by such men as met at the
reform conference, we have an assurance,
somewhat better than Micawber's, that some
thing will turn up in the way of square,
honest, competent nominee for centen-
NAL president.

since such use Of the public funds has mover
existed to any alarming extent while arbitra.

recognizes. Skipping the next two plauks

as to the wisdom of the plank succeeding,
there exists considerable doubt. The feal
problems Of the hour are those relating to
the currency and civil service reform.
These the prohibitionists put last, not TO
emphasize them but rather to recognize a
popular demand for their solution. But il
is safe to say that however broad and multi.

the next president will ride 10 victory

Journal while the names of the parties were
