City Officials Poisoning Citizens.

Editors Dispatch: This morning about
3 o'clock and others OF my family in the
second story OF my dwelling, on Main street
near Adams, were oppressed by the
presence OF offensive gas IN all the rooms
and hall on that floor, especially those next
to the street. SupposinS that there might
be leak iE some gas-pipe or burner in the
house, careful examination OF all OF them
was made, but no leak anywhere was
found, and the first floor, where all the Win
dows and doors were closed, had no smell
OF gas in it. On going, however, to the
windows in the second story, which were
open, and especially to those fronting on
the street, it was at once discovered that the
eas came through them from the street. In
the rooms fronting the street it was nearly
sufiocating. Early this morning all the gas
lamps on the street III the neishborhood
were examined in order to ascertain II any OF
them were leaking although the quantity OF
cas in the air could not have come from
less than doZen), but none OF these either
were found leaking. From but two sources,

The Sunday Laws.

Editors Dispatch The community, and
especially those most directly affected,
should feel grateful to OR. D. W." for his
lucid exposition in the Dispatch yesterday
OF the Sunday laws. He saws: I" 1t is well
for the people who may be interested to
know them and to study them, lest they
may perchance become victims" This is
true; but as many OF these people have not
the opportunity or ability to study and COM
prehend statutes, it is commendable in gen.
tlemen who are learned in the law to cX-
pound them for the benefit of the public.
"R. D. W." is very clear except upon
one point, which think needs calculation.
He says: alt will be seen that under the
statute persons can be puni>hed-fir for
laboring at any trade or calling, or forcing
their servants or apprentices so to labor, on
the Sabbath. That mucS>is generally we'll
understood. But suppose man does not
labor at any trade or calling on the Sabbath,
or force his servants or apprentices so to Ia
bor,-yet opens wide the front-door OF his
place OF business and sits quietly there
alone or with his family or friends, does he
violate the law?
I notice that "R. D. W." uses italics
wherever statute or ordinance refers to
opening or closing on Sunday, as If he in
tended TO impress on the readers attention
the fact by emphasis that only bar-rooms or
places where liquor is sold shall be closed
Sunday. But he does not expressly say
whether, in bis opinion, under the law,
other places may be opened-rrovided no
business is transacted.
1t is not more difficult to trace the origin
OF the "iever" TO which r. D. W." al
ludes than to predict some Of its ultimate
consequences. 1t will multiply hypocrisy
end dissimulation, greatly increase the sin
OF intemperance, and provoke hostility to
religion on the assumption that its guar
dians are responsible for this aggression on
personal rights. 1t will produce feuds and
heart-burnngs where mutual forbearance
should prevail, and will, moreover, imperil
the unity OF the Conservative party These
predictions may be treated lightly, and the
last especially may be be derided, but its
significance will be understood by all who
mingle with the voterS and hear them eX-
press their sentiments. 1t is easy to say Of
an obnoxious law, " Have it repealed" but
it is not so easy to accomplish that repeal
when the lawmakers lack the moral cour-
age to vote for the repeal. Nevertheless, it
is better that the Sunday laws be rigidly
enforced not only because it is the duty OF
the courts to execute them, but because
thereby the people may be goaded into
electing lawmakers who will not saddle
them with grievous burdens. Not one por-
ton only, but the whole OF them should be
enforced with all the power OF the law. Let
not the bar-keepers and confectionerS be
the only victims. There are other vioiators
OF the law-many Of them. All should be
treated alike. NIRGINIAS.
