So far the Democratic press has been
unable to find a crevice in the armor of
Mr. strother. His cool dignity of de-
meano-, his record as citizen and
business man and his long residence in
the State, are things which afford his
opponents no opportunity for maligniDg
aud misrepresentation. A Republican
nominee before whose irreproachahle
character Democratic newspapers pause
stashed is indeed an extraordinary
mas. Mr.. Strother need not go about
the state patting everybody On the
back and gTinning in the face of voters
to catch political support. There is a
certain amount Of dignity attached to
gubernatorial Office which Mr..
Strother can naturally maintain. He
could do it without making a ridiculous
burIesque Of himself. The Virginia
Footiight, Democratic paper, thus en-
dorsed him on August 18th:
OF course we are not called on TO give
our Republican opponents any advice
in the matter of their choice for Cover
nor, but we cannot help seeing that
they have a splendid opportunity of
making a magnificent stroke of good
management by nominating Hon. +.
Strother of our city for the position.
He is popular gentleman and has an
untainted record both politically and
socially, and is man of thorough bust
ness. He could go into the campaign
untrammeled by monopoly or other
murky records, and with the full conf
dehce of his party might make win
ming fight. Our Republican friends
should give Mr.. Strother's nomination
their wisest consideration.
The Chronicle last night is full Of
froth, abuse, slang, vituperation, sound,
and fury. The editor is unreasonably
worked up early in the campaign, and
thinks that he is in BIlngsgate fish
war, or q riot in Pacific street beer
dive.

A LOOSE GAME.

Harrisburg Patriot.
The least said about the game of ball on
Sa urtiay between the Harrisburg and
Ironsides clubs the better for the former.
The latter club was not a match by any
means, and knowing this the home team
failed to take that interest in the game
tn the spectators, who numbered three
hundred, looked for. During the early
part of the game, when the metal Of the
visitors was being tested, the Harrisburg
INDUCED in some magnificent playing,
which was applauded in every instance.
The same showing should have been made
toward the close, but such was not the
case. The runs made by the visitors, in
almost every instance, wero scored when
two men were out and there had been the
third chance to retire the side. Sales
pitched his curves in the last three innings
and was very effective, as not one of the
runs scored by the Ironsides were earned
The ninth inning and the close of the
game was miserable SO far as the home
team was concerned. The men had been
retired and the third knocked slow
grOuuder to Martin. who fumbled it long
enough to allow the runner tc make his
base. Some heavy hitting was then in.
dulged in, and seven runs were scored. A
low line ball was then sent to right field
which Sturgeon failed to hold. One man
scored on the hit and two others followed
before the sides was retired. The batting
on both sides was heavy, as the score

Sunday Labor.

The Philadelphia BARRIERS who do not
keep open shop on Sunday are engaged
IN warfare upon those who do, and
they propose to have them arrested for
violating the law which prohibits secular
employment Oh Sunday. They have
doubtless the letter of the law with them,
but it is very questionable whether they
have its spirit and whether the courts
will aid them i'm their undertaking to
make all labor on Sunday unlawful. 1t
cannot be so held consistently with com
mon sense. Necessary labor must be ex-
cepted else the blast furnace must die
out on Saturday night which is an i'm
possibility; the water works and the gas
works must stop; which is also imprac-
ticable SO must the horse cars and the
hacks and private carriages which
it would hardly he expedient
to compel them to do. If the
BARRIERS work on Sunday is necessary,
then it may not be prohibited and the
general opinion will be that it is at least
very convenient and that it works very
little disturbance OF the peace and quiet
of the day of rest. Not many will doubt
the wisdom of the law which compels
the saloon-keeper to fOrbear the pursuit
of his unnecessary business OH Sunday,
and the sympathy of the community will
always be with those who endeavor to
close the drinking bars on that day :
but the anti-Sunday working BARRIERS
will have no such support. A man must
not be asked to wear a stubby chin on
Sunday of all days nor can he reason
ably be expected to wait his turn in
a hot and musty barber shop until mid
night on Saturday that he may ap.
pear clean shaven at church next
day. The barber who closes his
shop on Sunday does well, because
he shows that in six days of labor he can
support himself, but he who keeps open
on Sunday morning reasonable time
for the accommodation of his patrons,
does better, because he shows himself a
philauthropist, and he may be q very
good Christian, too. Very good Chris.
tians labor on Sunday when they deem
it proper to do SO; and there are many
clses in which some labor is proper,
even though we answer in the negative
the much debated question as to whether
hot dinner is among the appropriate
works of Sunday. 1t certainly was to
stand away behind shaved faced az q
Sunday necessity. 50 that while the
cooks are permitted to roast, the BARRIERS
may not be forbidden to lather.

A Sensible Mayer.


The practice of selling liquor
and drinking in public places in
Philadelphia on Sunday has pre-.
vailed there for many years with
more or less freedom from interruption
by the police authorities and with more
or less concealment by those who are en-.
gagged in it. While the front doors are
shut it is pretty well understood that
the back doors are open. With the
other improvements and reforms in city
government there, q great many good
people, including numerous clergy, have
been encouraged to appeal to Mayor
King to send his policemen around for
the purpose Of investigating the places
where liquor is sold and Of obtaining in
formation, by personal inspection, OF
violations of the law. He has greatly
surprised and angered them by a fiat re.
fusal to do this and some of the Jealous
advocates of the laws enforcement

tion is not only ;nconsiderate, but illOgi-
cal. Mayor King insists that the duty
u his police is to maintain order, to
prevent breaches of the peace or to ar
rest those engaged in them, and to put q
stop to the drinking and selling of liquor
..,l,o,. a., o roo,,lk fvo,n II fhoro onc,,pS
some offense against public order, and to
aid in the suppression of violations OF
the liquor law whenever any responsible
person will make formal complaint that
such violations have occurred. But
their duty, he maintains, does not impei
nor justify them in visiting places where
liquor is sold, or houses of ill-fame, or
gambling saloons, to see if the
Offenses which are common to such
places are committed there. The
mayor rightly holds that if officers
were sent to do such work they would
make it an excuse for visiting such
places for improper purposes, that they
would soon get on familiar terms with
the prOprietors, and that these visits
would result in their own demoraliza
tion without accomplishing the suppress
sion of crime. Nor does he approve and
follow the example of some of his prede
cessors in organizing sensational and
spasmOdic raids upon these resorts Of
crime, the results of which do not seen
to have ever been lasting. Societie:
which have in view the suppression OF
law-breakers and law-breaking should
be willing to assume the responsibility
of employing detectives to discover tht
offenders and, themselves, to make th'
complaint. Their duty is then done ant
if the officers of the law fail to bring th'
cases to trial they have just right tt

They are employed for different sort o

FLAME SWEPT.

Great Connagration In Philadelphia.
About O'Clock Sunday afternoon fire
broke out in . disused warehouse in Front
street, above Brown, and communicated
to the adjoining buildings, one of which
was vacant, while tho others, in the rear
of the warehouse, wero used for the stOr
age of ice and molasses, tho former be-
longing to tho Carpenter ice company and
the latter used by Heyl s. Brothers as q
storage room for 13O hogsheads of the
syrup. In the rear of these buildings the
fire communicated to two lumber yards
occupied by Rushton & Levering and
and William NJ. Fox s. Brother. The
flames then set fire to row of nine dwell
ings in Brown street below Front, occu-
pied by mechanics and others, all of whom
lost their household goods and clothing.
The buildings on three corners of Front
and Brown streets, together with several
buildings on the west side of Front street,
above Brown, and cigar store, private
dwelling, and tenement house on the
east side, of Front street, below Brown,
and q distillery on the south side of
Brown, below Front, were partially
burned. The row in Brown, below Front
was entirely destroyed, with the exception
of one house, which was badly damaged.
The entire loss is estimated at between
600, 600 and csc, 900. Most of the real es.
tate belonged to the estate Of the late
Thomas Powers, and Il fully covered by
insurance.

Bell's murder.
The murderer of Harriet Bell, q woman
who was stabbed to death in Boston on
the morning of March 7th, by a dirk in
the hands Of hitherto unknown man. il
now known to bc person whose adopted
sister lived near by on Indiana place. Mrs.
Bell lived at No. 5 Kirkland street, with
her daughter Villa. The murder took
place at the threshold of her house, and
she fell In her own hallway and died after
having received nine wounds from
tho dirk. 1t is known that the
man was near the scene OF the
murder on the night Of March 6. He has
served five years in the state prison, and
has been once arrested for assault with a
dirk. His beard is of the stubby charac-
t,r described by the girl Villa, and he also
has peculiar upper lip, which she
noted. The motive for the murder may
b. found in his relations with another
woman who lived in the same house with
Mrs. Bell, and who resembled her in
appearance. 1t is said that this woman
caused some trouble between the man and
his sister by saying that she wouldn't have
state prison bird about her, and he swore
to have revenge. In his drunken condition
he might easily have mistaken Mrs. Bell
for the woman whom he had waited for
around the corner. Within twenty min
utes after the murder an inmate of the
Indiana place house was at the scene Of the
murder carefully looking at everything and
auxiously inquiring if the police had good
description Of the murderer. He is sup.
posed to he in Chicago at the present time.
When the murder was committed he was
pointed out two policemen as man who
had assaulted woman, but they paid no
attention to him. All these acts, with the
mans name, are in the possession of the
police. and detective belonging to the
force has been working on the case but no
arrests have been made.
