forced Were the secular press;
of Texas to give earnest voice
TO the moral sentiment of the
people and demand that the
law be enforced, these enact
ments against gambling would
not be dead letters on the stat
ute books" The assumption
of the Aa0ocate that the press
is subsidized is wholly gratui-
tous and needs no defense, and
as to its advice to the secular
press, that is wholly gratuitous
too: the secular press is the
Judge of its own course and will
probably pursue the policy that
seems best adopted to subserve
its own purposes and the good
of the people. The secular
press has to deal with men and
things as they are and not as
they ought, could or should be.
So far as the secular press is.con-
cerned it is as moral as its relig-
ious contemporaries; on this
score at least honors are easy.
We have no faith in utopian
ideas and do not expect the
millennium until hannah nature is
materially changed. The time
may come when gambling will
be a thing of the past, but the
present generation will never
live to see the day.

SOME persons seem to mis-
understand the position of the
BANNER on the Sunday law.
The BANNER is opposed to the
present proscritive and puri-
tanical Sunday law, but is in
favor ola general Sunday law
as it existed prior to the adop-
ton of the amendment, social
ed. Itis>in favor of decorousbe-
havior on Sunday as on all 9TH
er days and would have all dis
turbers of public worship vigor-
ously prosecuted. 1t favors the
fullest religious liberty in this
behalf. Any and all attempts
to regulate the observance of
Sunday by Legislative enact
ment must of necessity prove a
failure.

THE Roman Catholic bishop
of New Jersey issued an order
prohibiting the use gilmore than
twelve carriages at a funeral.
AT Jersey City the body of
Bridget O'Rourke was brought
to St. Patricks cathedral accom-
panied by forty carriages and
Rev. Father Hennesey closed
the church doors. Thirty car
riages were sent away and the
church doors we're opened.
There was much excitement
among the Catholic residents.
Father Hennesey said in ser
mon that pretentious sermons
were only for show; in most
cases the carriages were not
paid for and when paid for they
only took bread cut of hungry
mouths.

ONE D. M. Barnett has been
sent to the New York peniten-
tiary for, it is alleged, sending
obscene literature through the
mails. This is one side of the
question; the other side claim
that the matter sent through the
mails was not obscene, but of a
character at variance with the
commonly received views of
christianity and that Burnett
has been sent to the peniten-
tiary for heresy. If he was
sentenced for sending out OBJ
scene literature his punishment
is erninently just, but if for his
religious views it is unjust.

an agency ofthe Protective Life

was. established in Galveston
and the country was flooded
with various documents adyer-
Using the advantage of insuring
in that protective institution,
for such it proved to be; the
officers and owners of it protec-
ted themselves by keeping all
the money collected on policies
and applying it to their own
use. The Protective succeeded
in securing a number of policies
in Texas and in swindling the
policy holders by bursting.

IT appears that the business
men of San Antonio have been
goaded well nigh to desperation
by the cxactlons of the Sunset
railway. The battle cry is any
thing TO beat Pierce. The feel
ing against the road is describ-
ed as bitter and intense. 1t is
proposed to build an indepen-
dent line to the coast; the mer-
chants are bound to have lower
rates of freight or retire from
business. San Antonio gave
Mr.. Pierce 100000 to bring
his railway to San Antonio and
he has since done everything he
could imagine through his
agents, to cripple the place.

NEARLY every exchange con-
tains an account of a gin &C
cident. 1t seems strange that
SO many such accidents should
occur and it will be found that
a majority of the persons injur-
ed were experienced gin hands;
men who have worked with
gins SO long that familiarity with
them had induced the belief that
they could not hurt themselves;
hence the carelessness result
ing in accidents. Persons work
ing with machinery cannot be
too careful.
