saBBITH SLIDING sCILE.

Mr.. David Dudley Field, of New York,
is lawyer of rare acumen. He is the au-
thor of ''The Penal Code,'' under which. by
strict construction the police recently
made raid On CERTAIN current and active
Sunday industries in the city, and closed
them up. Whereupon Mr.. Filed jun ped
promptly to their rescue, and interpreted
his own work as, rightly understood, in
extensively meaning nothing. It is
said an acute, ingenious lawyer can find or
make a way through any law large enough
to drive coach and four. Mr.. Field seems
to be one of that sort. He says the police
have entirely Inexperienced the mean
ing of the ''code," and their duties under
it in making their Sunday crusade against
Sabbath secularities. Mr.. Field holds that
the code was intended to prohibit only
those things which are serious Interrupt
tions of the repose and religious liberty of
the community" and tiAt it permits every
thing to be done on Sunday which can
reasonably be regarded as work of ne-
cessity or charity" Among these things
he includes getting shaved, having ones
boots BACKED, travelling, the publication
and sale Of newspapers. telegraph business,
letting livery teams, serving ice cream and
the sale of bread, provisions,
etc. In other words, this
learned legal interpreter decides
that the "code" prohibiting Sunday work,
doesnot prohibit; and that go-as-you- please
on Sunday, as on any other day of the
week, is the real and true intent of the
''coden And this is Mr.. David Dudley
Fields idea of the sanctity oftke Sabbath,
himself the son OF stout, old Puritan
divine, the Rev. David Field, D. D., of
Stockbridge. Massachusetts, who COM
menced the sacred Sabbath observance
on Saturday night, sustaining even from
warmly cooked food till the warm
supper of Sunday evening at sunset. They
did not shave, black boots or eat ice cream

Especial TELEGRAM TO the Globe. !

New YoRR, Dec. 12.-The reported pur-
chase of controlling interest in the
Omaha by Vanderbilt was widely circu-
lated this morning. The subcommittee

O'Clock at the Windsor hotel with Presi-
dent Mitchell. Of the ST. Paul, and David
Dows, representing the Rock Island and
Omaha interests. Among those present it
is reported that Porter and his party will

If Dr.. Ames contests w. d. Washburn's
right to a seat in the next House,it is to be
expected that the Democratic majority will
decide the case upon its merits. with judi
cial fairness, and not with that question
able accuracy which characterized the de
c1sion Ct the Republican maj ority at the last
session in ousting incumbents. No matter
whether Washburn claims three Or 1000
majority, if corruption can be shown
in giving brides, in buying up votes, OR
otherwise, there is a fair ground for ccn-
test, and the corrupt occupant should be
driven from his seat. At every election
Washburn has been elected by the corrupt
use of money. That he was not fairly
elected this year, contest will show, and if
SO, he will be ousted, as he
ought to be: il no treacherous
Singlete n interposes, as in the case Of the
Donnelly -Washburn contest, to defeat jus
tice. Washburn was proved to be guilty
of bribery then, and the same can be
proved against him now. 1t has been an
nounced that DIR. Ames will contest. If he
does, it is to be hoped he will be able to
make his proof SO clear that a
well-known corruptionist will be driven
from the seat to which, in fairness.he never
had a just title. Buying seats in the
House and Senate has grown up to be
quite a political commercial business under
the long existing Republican rule, and it
would be refreshing and assuring to see
fhoco oopparoial commodities drivop
from Office.

Mr.. ". D. WAsHBURN seems to be put
ting in his time industriously, to push

majority continues to help him accomplish
his unjust scheme. Iniquity turks behind
this DILL. No public necessity requires it,;

bid it," By the passage of this bill,
lands would be wrested from the Indians
involving a value of some forty millions of
dollars, or more. Does anyone suppose,
who knows the qualities and methods of
this Minneapolis representative, that
no sinister, selfish, personal
end inspires the presentation of this bill?
The GLOBE calls new Democratic members
to scrutinize rigidly this bill, and its pur-
poses, and if convinced of its iniquity, as
they will be, so expose it as to defeat it,
even in a house with Republican MAORI
ty. Have not Republican majorities
covered themselves, already, with infamy
and appropriately enough, without passing
any more questionable and ubiquitous
measures?

Now the public, which does want to

sOnally, Mr. Mann is admitted on all sides to be an
excellent candidate. He is reputable lawyer Oh

it announced at the opening of the campaign that
it should take hand IN the election of Assembly,
men, 1t will bo absurd If, n matter of Club dis
cipline, the recalcirant member of the Executive
Committee be defeated at the polls.
Without seeking TO justify Mr.. Manns course IN
separating himself from his colleagues, we are con-
WINGED that the governing committees were lice
rather than wise in making so strong point OF
their disinterestedness. OF course they cannot be
too careful Of their good name, for theirs
is new and tentative organization,
whose only representative in public life, Mayor

lish permanent reputation either for himself OF
the body of amateur canvaSsers organized by HIM
1t would be fatal to their influence If the pubic
were to have reason to believe that the machinery
Of the organization was being used for selfish ends
by ambitious members. But the Club should not
be squeamsh in its morbid desire to avoid susp-
cion. 1t has already given the city most efficient
Mayor and If it also furnish one or more AS

1t is wise to exclude officeholders and tc dscour-

man he ought not TO be opposed solely because OF
his association with the active friends OF
Reform. If municipal reform could have
been effected by central committees Sand theoretical
plaItudes Brooklyn would have had perfect civil
service years ago. What Is needed is practical
work in the ward caucuses primary elections and
nominating conventions, and when that work Is
earnestly and effectively done, as was the case in
MI Mann's district candidates should not be capri
cioUsly opposed.
