Garfield was presented, with pack OF
hyenas prowling around it. One holds
in his paw the Rosecrans letter, whilst
the other four are labeled "New York

Then there is another crowd of hyenas
in swallow-tail coats, each wearing the
''306" medal, their leader with whip in
haud, the lash of which has curled
around the shaft of the monument and
broken, the twists of the lash forming
the word ISLANDER" and the whole pack
falling back into the shades of oblivion
The cartoon bears the inscription, "Hye-

says: There is but one answer to our
question. The corn-raisers, and the
corn-raisers alone are prosperous. Every
man who plants cotton and buys pro-
visions is poorer than he was five years

TIE Supreme Court of California has
affirmed the constitutionality of Sun
day law for that State similar to the one
now proposed for Ohio. Speaking of the
law, the San Francisco Post says:
Undoubtedly it can and will be en-
forced in those communities where it
accords with the prevailing sentiment,
while in other communities, where pub
lie opinion is opposed to its enforce
ment, it will remain a dead letter, as it
has been generally during all the years
since its enactment. p. Il
This should admonish the friends of
the proposed Ohio law that their work
will not be finished with the adoption
by the General Assembly of the meas
ure they desire. To be of practical value,
such measures must have the vigorous
and continued support of public opinion.
1t is too often the case that social re-
forms end rather than begin with the
enactment of a statute. The. law is, af-
ter all, only an instrument of reform,
and not reform itself. The real work of
|
reform consists in creating public SEN
timent that will not only demand the
law, but demand also the enforcement
of the law. Public opinion on the Sun
day saloon question is just now 9consid-
erably aroused in Ohio, as the. large and
enthusiastic convention of yesterday suf-
hciently attests,. but if the agitation is
only spasmodic and temporary, it will
fail to realize its objects. If the sa-
looms are to be closed on Sunday, we
must not only have law to close them,
but, what is more important, strong
and sustained popular demand that the
law shall be. carried into effect.-IO. S.
