The Mayor to-day published an or
dinance ordering sll places of business to
be closed on Sunday. This includes bar
Der shops, cigar stores, and other shops
OF like sort that have become almost
absolute necessities to large majority Of
our citizens Go wrere you will you can
hear persons denouncing the measure
loudly, and declaring that 1t Is done solely
for political effect. Mayor Jack is very
anxious TO succeed himselftO the office OF
chief executive Of our city, and rs he
came very losing it before from the
fact that the respectable portion Of
our citizens went back on him, be
is now endeavoring to gain favor with
them by extreme measures, imagining
that he can hold his hummer vote solid
ANYWAY, and thus make sure of his re-
election. But he is missing the mark
widely, for he has not disCernment
enough to know just how far TO 90 in
sucn cases, and spoils everything he
undertakes. When he caused the saloons
to be closed there were q great many
people who were gratltied NJ it, and de-
termined TO uphold him in his course,
who are low as ready TO desert him,
claiming that he l. not sincere in his sc-
tions His race is run, and ifhe should by
any accident happen to gain the Repub-
| llcGn nomination at our next city cleo
ton, it will make the election Of the
| Democratic candidate an absolute GER
tainty. His former 80 majority will
melt away, and IN ITS stead will be Il
| large majority against him.
