And now comes tho Webster Tribune
and puts in this protest about existing
disorders
ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAw-What we
need in this country il the
rigid enforcement Of the laws. Every
man who violates the peace and dignity
Of . community, or appr0priates to himself
that which belongs to another should be
speedily and adequately punished. When

that men cannot escape punishment nor

favofitism, no oversights, no negligence,
but the laws enforced to tho letter against
ell bulldosers and offenders, whoever
they may be. We must necessarily do
pend upon our Grand Jurios, our officers
and courts alone for protection, peace and
quictness and safety.
Let it be anequivocally demonstrated
that any violation of law will meet with
swift, unening, decisive punkhment, and
there win be . tremendous decrease in tho
Infringement Of existing statutes. So
long q tho laws are administered with
tho lsxity 70 greatly prevalent, just 80
long will there be no diminution in crime.

II is announced that one of tho prom
incnt Jewish congregations in New York

from members Of other congregations, and
tho subject il to be discussed before the
assemblage Of rabbits now in session in
Chicago.
Asa general rule, in most Of tho towns
and cities persons Of the Jewish faith are
not more addicted to transacting business
on Sunday than their Protestant brethren,
and usually observe . portion Of the
Christian Sabbath. Tho settlement Of
this subject will b watched with great
interest y It involves an important ques.
ton in tho principles Of tho jewish faith.
Tho Claiborne Gssrdiss now comes "a
tho front on tho prohibition question, u
follows:
Tho prohibitionists still continue "a
wage war on tho liquor traffic. They
seem to Be - determined and enthusiastic
now - when they secured tho adoption Of
tho Maine Law. Their efforts may bear
fruit some time, but il must b admitted
that they have - yet very little reason ia
feel encouraged. II il true that they have
got the best Of tho matter in Kansas, but
