Liquor on the Grounds.

The sale of Intoxicating liquors on
the grounds of the Centennial EXhib-
ton, Is left to the operation of the laws
of the states. In other words, it is not
to he interferred with. We take it for
granted there is not sufficient energy,
combined with temperance principles,
III the city or state, or in the United
States, to enforce the law by which, in
the first place, the sale of liquor is for

10y which no one in the state NAV sell
without license.
This conclusion may be regarded as
the result of inattention on the part of
temperance people, who should have
seen to it that no concessions were
granted at the beginning. This fatal
act might have been prevented and the
business of providing refreshments
would have been prosecuted with as
great energy, without the attendant
evil of converting the nations enter
tainment into Il huge groggery.
But it cannot be denied that there is
a far greater number of citizens opposed
to the desccration of the Sabbath than
to the sale of Intoxicating drinks. The
observance of the Sabbath is held to he

The Centennial Sabbath

The final decision of the United States
Centennial Commission. that the En-
hihition. in all its departments. shall be
closed on the Christian sabbath. has
been received with heartfelt satisfaction
throughout the country. Some there
are who would have had it otherwise.
hut the mass of our people are in favor
of having the law of God respected and
oheNed. and of showing to the nations
of the earth that we are Il Christian
nation. The whole subject is very
tersely and property set forth in the
following extract from the remarks of
the President "f the Commission. Gen
Hawley, when the question was before
the Board:
1.-Two Years ago the Commission. in
laying out the programme. expressly
stated that the Centennial Exhibition
would he open during the period from
May I'D to November 10. from nine
O'Clock mornings until six o'clock eve
nlngs, Sundays excepted. 1t was the
very first thought of the majority that
one of the distinctive marks of American
civilization being the observance of the
Sabbath. the International fair should

danger ofcriticism on the part of foreign
ers who may come to visit us. whatever
may be their habits at home. Foreign
gentlemen will use every means in theil
power to observe the customs of the
country while they are in it. | wish to
dictate to no one, but, as for myself,
firmly believe that the one days rest in
seven Is founded on natural law, and
further than that, is made binding by
Divine authority. 1t is well to show
the foreign nations the American ide;
OF the Sabbath. Agassz, on being ask
ed what was the thing which most i'm
pressed him on his arrival in the United
States, at once answered that it was the
quiet of an American Sunday. Moth
ing too earnest can be said against the
arguments made in favor of the yield
ing OF the Commission. All have ad-
mltted that there is fixed belief among
immense masses of our people in the
Dlvlnely appointed Sabbath: and
shall raise my voice firmly against any
innovation on this occasion"
We record also the resolutions on the
subject reported to the General Confer
ence OF the Methodist Church at Balti-
more on Friday, as expressive of the
sentiments of the entire Christian com
munity:

CenteLnlal Exposition have by an al
