MAYOR Wales last evening fined Isaac
Jefferis colored man for selling cigars
on Sunday. This looks as if His Hon.
or was determined to enforce the Sun.
day law. In view of this determine
ton of the Mayor, would it not be ad
visible for cigar dealers to have prop.
er understanding and all agree to shut
up on Sunday? As long as they con.
tinue to sell on Sunday they are liable
to be brought before the Mayor, who for
every offence will fine them S., which
will make keeping open very unprof,
liable business. The morality or i'm
morality of the business has nothing to
do with the question. The statute
requires such places of business
to be closed on Sunday and provides a
fine of So against those who violate the
law. OF course the Mayor has
nothing to do in the case but be
governed by the law, evidently
believing that they were not placed
upon the statute book to become a
dead letter.
Daily Republican., 1882-07-25

AS WE expected an immense crowd
assembled last night to enjoy the de-
lightful music of the First Regiment
Band on the Court House green, show.
ing the popularity of free open air con-
certs. Better by far that people should
go to such places of enjoyment If they
are heads of families and take their
children with them, than to spend their
evenings and money both at lager beer
saloons and other places of question:.
BILE propriety. One concert q week
such as that given last night could not
fail to become immensely popular, but
how about the musicians who stand for
a coulpe of long hours and spend their
breath to crafty the crowd? Should
they not be reoompensed Now as
there are many benevolent and humane
people in the city with plenty of means
and who delight in doing good, could
they put a little surplus change to 3
better use than to raise local fund to
pay these musicians something for their
labor? A large class of the people who
60 to these free open air concerts are
hard working laborers and their fami-
lies who cannot afford many indulgen-
cies and to whom these concerts are in
deed q luxury. We hope they may be
kept up, but the burthen should not all
fall upon the members of the Band.
