LAW AND RELIGION.

You can't legislate religion or respect
for religious prescriptions into q peo-
pie. A legal holiday and day of rest
may be established, but beyond this
the legislature has no right to go. The
evils of such law-making are illustrated
in New jersey, where the puritanicsl
sort become supreme and framed q
Texas statute. The Germans and
Americans, concurring with them, stig-
matize their opponents as bigots, the
Republican says, and as fanatics and
Kuownothlngs, and the other side de-
nounce liberalism as a menace to Sun
day and to the Christian religion. One
minister said that should the Germans
attempt another procession such as
they had q few days before, 1--WE
will fight them until the last
drop of blood in our veins is
spilled" Another clerical speaker said
"the moment you attempt to blot out
the star of the American Sabbath Twill
fight you with the last drop of blood in
my veins" An election for mayor is
pending ard all the forces of the strug-
gle are concentrating round that event.
1t will be very fortunate if it takes
place without dangerous collision be-
tween the excited factions. The Re-
publicans are in power in Newark and
are blamed with creating the difficulty
which arose out of the licensing of
saloons.
The trouble in Newark arises from a
dangerous source because it touches on
freedom of opinion, and it is one which
might be easily made to extend to other
communities. In most places, Sunday
laws, when they absolutely prohibit
work and restrict ordinary recrestions,
are dead-letters. They remain on the
statute book, but the authorities make
no attempt to enforce them and there
Is q tacit consent on the part of all that
they shall not be enforced. Religious
congregations are strictly protected
from d; sturbance and the day is legal
and business holiday, and this is about
as far as it Is generally considered
practicable to enforce Sunday observ-
ance. The topic is one on which there is
always a decided difference of opinion,
and, owing to its character, had better
be discussed calmly, for, if it is an
outrage to the Christian to question
the sacred character of the day, 1t is
equally an outrage to the unbeliever,
who denies that sscredness, to compel
him to regulate his conduct as If he
accepted it. The severe language EN-.
ployed on both sides in the Newark
imbroglio is to be regretted, for il
widens the breach always somewhat
dangerous. The clergymen who advo
Gated violence have probably done
more mischief in one speech than many
sermons can obliterate. Temperate
language Is expected from them and
enjoiDed by the spirit of religion, and
to counsel acts of violence is to per
vert deliberately the professed influ'
ence of the church. In times of ex.
element, however, clergymen are moi
less human than other men, and 6
fierce and protracted discussion ha:
heated Newark to fever heat. Both
parties will feel calmer after the cleo.
ton when, let US hope, they will mutu-
ally forgive and forget.

THE Massachusetts, Republican plat
form, just adopted, is peculiar in the
fact that it casts the responsibility for
the revival of sectional issues upon the
Democratic leaders in Congress. It
says that the Republican party declared
It's readiness TO abandon sectional eues-
tons and this war upon the South
when Hayes went into Office, and that
Hayes conduct asserted the fact. The
platform further declares that the
North, for time, approved Hayes
policy but thar the shotgun Democ-

WE can hardly see how those EGG
lish people, intelligent farmers and
artisans, now landing in the East en-
route to Texas, can be persuaded to
enter these Southern States. The ma
jority of Northern newspapers are Re-
publican, stalwart and violent. They
can only win in pending and approach
ing contests by traduclng the people
and States of the South. The Tribune
devotes its pages to illustrations of
Southern dishonesty, of people and
States and towns, by showing how
enormous sums are stolen by US from
those who trusted as. In other words,
it expatlates on Reputation, which
made immortal the State of Mississippi.
1t tells the world that thu people of
such States and communities are native
thieves and thieves en- masse and as
individuals. And there stands the re-
pudiated debt in solemn sttestatlon OF
the Tribune's assertions, and those
honest English farmers ask, "can these
things be-" Then the country is flooded
with lies projected into the campaign In
Ohio and New York designed to make
Eastern people believe that if the States
were set free and armies no more, these
Southern States would strut out of the
Union like game cocks and set up for
themselves, and that every negro and
Republican, like Barksdale's and Gul-
ly's victims, would be instantly put to
death. By no other means can Robin
son be defeated. If English immi-
grants hear and read and believe these
assertions not one will enter Texas,
and those who would have honest, In
dustrlous people instead of Migrants,
thieves and murderers injected into
Texas should cooperate with those
who, like Senator Coke, sought to
change the issues in the approaching
presidential contest.
