Evil ReieicinEs.

Afew days ago the constitutional
convention adopted on it's second
reading an article prohibiting the
sale in Louisiana of spirituous and
malt liquors on Sunday. A petit
tion seventy. two feet long, praying
forlthe adoption of such an article,
and the fact that it's adoption could
result only in great and lasting
henefit to the State throughout
every parish, city, village and ham
let, were SO obvious, that only one
newspaper in New Orleans could
I've found to condemn its adoption,
and to advocate its reconsideration
and defeat. That paper, we are
sorry to say it, WAS the New Orleans
Democrat. The article was recon
sitlered. and on it's third reading
was defeated by a small majority;
and the Democrat thereupOn en-
Enthusiastically rejoiced over its de-
feat, and congratulated itself on the
fact that it was the only newspaper
in New Orleans which had opposed
its adoption.
"All such rejoicings are evil"
Considering the tremendous inter
est which the New Orleans saloon
keepers, numbering several hun
dred, had in the defeat of that con-
stitutional prohibition, it speaks
volumes for the credit of the New
Orleans press that but one news
paper in that city could be found
to attack a measure Ofyital interest
to the State, and the defeat of which
could benefit nobody but the saloon
keepers.
Men may say what they please
about "blue laws.n and "puritanical
theories" but it is a simple fact,
already recognized by large ma
.ority of the press and people of
Louisiana, tliatthe open and shame
less Dissertation of the Lurd's day
in orr State, and particularly by
the drunken orgies and braw'ls
which, where Intoxicating liquor is
sold, are more frequent and con-
spicuous on that day than OH any
other day in the week, is not only
q stain upon the name of Louisiana,
but is really more injurious to her
prosperity than any other Of the
manifold evils which of late years
have brushed her energies and
bliglited her best hopes. There is
no material interest of the State
which does not suffer from the sale
of Intoxicating liquor OH Sunday.
immigration, of that kind which
can best develop our resources, is
discouraged byi labor of all kind
is paralyzed by it; peace and good
order in society are violated by it;
the people are uselessly taxed by
it, and morality is shocked by it.
The New Orleans Democrat is
the leading democratic journal of
the State. Under its present man
agemein it is ably edited and con
Quoted, and holds, deservedly,
a high and influential position. 1t.
is precisely because of this that we
regret its making sofatal a mistake
as to suppose that under any cir
cumstances it should be matter of
that morality and
productive industry have been de
feated in a contest with wliisky and
lager beer.

bells and found the two sections of the rod
apart and a gap of an inch or more between
them. The passage of silent electricity over
the gap caused spark, which, seen swapping
and jumping in the moist air, assumed phan-
tom forms, and played the deuce with the i'm
aginations of all who saw it.

The English Reformation. =

The history of the English Reformation
goes back to the last quarter of the fourteenth
century. During the eleven centuries pre-
ceding, the Roman Catholic religion had es-
tablished itself throughout England In the
thirteenth and in the greater part of the four
teenth century, it ruled with more than regal
sway, controlling king and peasant, oppres-
sing the people with its exactions, and in its
wealth and power becoming rotten with cor
ruption and intolerant beyond endurance In
the reign of Edward III there arose opposi.
ton to the demands and arrogance of the Pa
pacy. The famous act of Premunire was
passed in 1853, prohibiting appeals to any
foreign court against judgments of the court,
of England, or the recognition of any au.
thority but that of the King and the Estates
under penalty of outlawry, perpetual impris
onment, or Punishment from the country. In
1924, John Wycliffe, the Roformer, was born.
He kndled a fame of Revolution against the
Pope which was never afterwards extin-
guished. His followers took the name OF
Lollards, a sect which will ever be honored
for its early andpersstent opposition to the cor
ruption and superstition of the Roman Church.
The first martyr for the Reformation was

An Uncertain Basis.

The opinions in regard to Presidential
candidates for 1880, published in the New
York Times, are rs uncertain as prognos-
tications or speculations at the present
time concerning the weather year hence.
There are a few localities in which opinion
may be pretty firmly established in regard
to candidates, but taking the country as a
whole it is literally correct to say that
there is no settled opinion upon this mat
ter. 1t is too early yet to decide who will
be the candidate of either party. 1t is all
speculation. 1t is very true that the peo-
pie of the United States have a profound
respect for General Grant, but altogether
uncertain, notwithstanding the mention OF
his name so frequently in connection with
another term of the Presidency, that il
would be deemed wisest and best, after
proper consideration and discussion of the
question, to nominate him for a third term.
Mr.. Blaine is undoubtedly the choice of
Maine for President, but his friends would
feel none the more certain of his success
in the nominating convention were he at
this early day placed first instead of second
in such speculative report as that which
the Times publishes. The Presidential
succession never yet was fixed or scarcely
influenced by publishing the opinions of in
dividuals here and there year before the
convention is to meet The history of our
political conventions rarely records the
triumph of those who have led in the can
vass for nomination, but oftener of those
who have stood lower in the scale, and in
some cases of those whose names had
scarcely been mentioned as candidates
The Times has shown commendable news
paper enterprise in getting together and
publishing the Presidential speculations,
but they furnish no basis whatever for
reasonable calculation as to the men who
will be candidates for the Presidency next
year.
