EDITOR FREE PREss: It is cheering to
know that in this great city, few noble
women are ''setting their faces as flint"
against the carnival of crime prevailing here.
Tha.naen won't do it, The good women Of
th5 Sabbath Association" are making an
eloquent and fearful appeal to the sauthori-
ties' to stop this invasion Of licentiousness
and murder upon Christianity and good gov
ernment. There is strong indictment.in
their hands against the city officers for per-
mitting this outrageous desecration Of the
Sabbath day. This Indictment is said to set
forth that there are four thousand whiskey
and beer saloons that stand with open doors
nd gresly jaws to swa low up the earnings
Of the week making thousands of homes des-
ttute.
Seven theatres make Sunday night hid
cons with their entertainments (?) to the
thousands who feed their degraded
natures upon the dramatization OF
ten cent novels. 1t is for this night that
the managers reserve their 'ssnide and slang"
plays and reap therefor heavy receipts at the
box. There is more Drunkenness and fight
ing on the Sabbath day, than in oil the other
six, the records showing two murders on
each Sunday, besides murderous assaults in
fearful numbers.
Our ''Police Commissioners and their
seven hundred men rank and file. know of
this, but like SO many well fed and well paid
municipal watch dogs are content to have
their fill at public expense-they draw
their salaries with alacrity, which amounts
to forty thousand dollars per month and
perhaps this is why thirty large "Keno
houses" and twelve "Faro Banks" are -four
ishing within the city, and perhaps this 10
colby, the governor (who is characterized
by leading local paper as "a mere Sum
day school teacher'')), has failed to get tho
the officers of the law to enforce the law"
and perhaps also THE 10 schy, the lizard
Town" should be turned over to o RESPONSE
BILE vigilant committee with full power to
act in the premises for about three months.
Many of our good citizens, including your
correspondent would welcome said COM
mittee, and, as it were., rise up and call
them blessed
Monsieur Rochambeau and Monsieur
Boulanger, distinguished visitors at the
centennial of the Yorktown surrender"
were heartily welcomed to q splendid ban
quet at the Southern Hotel last night. The
descendants and representatives of Lafayette
were greeted with eloquent speeches COM
memora.ing our great struggle for indie
pendence and its glorious conclusion at
Yorktown.
