LIQUOR ON SUNDAY.
The Rstaliative Tactic. orthe Newark Brew
srs and saloon Keepers.

NEWARK, April 2O.-This has been the
quietest Sunday in some respects. that has
been known in the last forty years. An ex-
tended tour OF the city shows that with very few
exceptions there was a religious observance OF
the Sunday law. This was notably the case in the
German districts. comprising the Sixth. Twelfth.
and Thirteenth Wards. Not only were the sa-
looms closed. but TO the large breweries. where
hundreds OF persons usually assemble. there
was no Rdmittance. The leading brewers.
among them the Hon. Gottiried Kruger. Hill x
Pietz. John Baier. c. Feigenspahn. and Weiss
4 Beirkenhauer. with many Americans. formed
themselves into committee. and in behalf OF
the Liquor and Lager Association went from
place 10 place, warning news dealers cigar
dealers, butchers. bakers. grocers. and proprie-
tors OF oyster houses 70 close their places OF
business. or they would be prosecuted. An in
dependent committee OF some twenty BARRIERS,
headed by Mr.. Cook. full-hooded colored
man. visited the various barber shops in
operation and warned them to obey the law.
Beside these the Citizens Protective Associa-
citation had two spies employed in each OF the
fifteen wards, taking the names Of the alleged
yGsors y1n, is. wans was company P5m

he said that he would furnish the news every
Sunday. Ine mllkmen. nH usual. drove hToNuu
in their wagons. and aside from being subjected
to some practical Jokes. they were not inter-
fered with.
There were only lve arrests for drunkenness
from ~ o'clock on Saturday night Till O'Clock
on Sunday evening. and nearly all OF the VIC
Tins must have got their liquor neiore the ad-
vent OF Sunday. The Grand Jury OF Essex
County will consider the charges made against
several saloon keepers this week. and II II can
be shown that others than liquor dealers violate
processes OF the law. these persons hope that no
indictments will be found.
