only solution of the problem which appears
is that the settlement of the country by a
Gentle population will be so much more
rapid than that OF the saints, that they will

Montross states that Mcpherson worked very
hard in the matter.
He (MOntross), attempted to approach
Blaine, in the matter. by offering him large
amount of stock, bat was almost kicked out
by Blaine. Minister Hurlbut was also Of
fered stock, but refused it. Montross says
Gen. Grant owns quarter of a million dol

Tramp.

when the tramp appeared at the door she
refused to open it, whereupon he threw a
stone through the window and lcaped in.
Miss Jewett was trying to escape from the
front door when he overlook her and twisted
a table cloth over her head. which caused her
to swoon. The tramp left her and went to
the pantry where he made a comfortable
lunch and departed. Miss Jewett remained
insensible until the return of the family from
church, forty minutes later. Beyond the
shock of the fright and the rough usage in

THE NEW SUNDAY LAW.
How 1t Was Observed by Saloon Men IN
Different Places.

TOLEDO, O.. April %.
The liquor dealers protective association
recently notified the police board that they
would suspend business and requested the
police authorities to enforce all other Sun
day observance laws. The board instructed
the chief of police to this effect and every
one accustomed to do any labor Sunday was
notified to cease work. This notice extended
to saloons, street car lines, barber shops,
groceries, milk men, livery stables, butcher
shops, Sunday newspapers, etc. The result
was that this has been one of the most quiet
Sundays ever seen in Toledo. Saloons were
all closed, street cars, however, ran as usual
and no attention was paid to the order by
Sunday newspapers. About half the milk
men refused to deliver milk, but every livery
stable did business as usual. A large num-
Der of ames were taken by the police, today,
and among them the names of drivers of Car
riages at a funeral. There is very general
feeling of indignation among such tradesmen
as butchers and bakers who have been closed
with the saloons. There are threats of suits
for false arrests and many will doubtless
follow.
The liquor dealers held a large meeting
this afternoon to express their indignation
against the Bond and Smith bills and were
bitter in their denunciation of the Dayton
Journal, Cincinnati Gazette and also the
Commercial. The Journal has been boycott
ted by members of the association who with
drew all subscriptions and advertisements
from it. Jos. Hermes, a Kentucky saloon
keeper and an ex-member of the Kentucky
legislature, made violent speech, urging
| resistance to the laws. Saloons here have
all been closed and quiet reigned during the
day.
COLUMBUS, April %.
The Sunday closing law has been strictly
observed by the saloon men, and this was the
most quiet day for years. The average ar
rests of 25 for drunkenness was cut down to
| three cases.
CINCINNATI, April 23.
| Out of over 5000 saloons in Cincinnati,
$50 were reported as paving no attention to
the new law. 1t is estimated that thousands
will be reported in the morning. The plan
is to arrest by warrant tomorrow.

Boston, in the light of a census OF
church-goers taken a week ago Sunday by
the Advertiser. proves to be church-go-
inc CITY. There were 124 900 at both ser
vices. IF whom 10 1886 were in the Roman
Catholic churches. The total attendance
thus recorded, about one third the total
population OF the city, is slightly below
the English average of church going IN
large cities; but it is altogether above the
usual returns in this country. which vary
from fifth to an eighth. In the Boston
census, the Baptist churches ranked next
after the Roman Catholic. with 15,7l5,
while the Congregational (Trinitarlan) re-
turned 1908, and the Episcopalians
stood next, with 1000. The collective
Protestant attendance was $1,000, 30 per
cent. larger than the Roman Catholic. The
proportion of native and foreign inhabi-
tants in Boston is about two of the first
to one Of the last. The church-going is
about three Protestant to two Catholic,
and when it is remembered that the
children of foreign parents born in this
country are all reckoned as native born, it
will be seen that the propo. ton of those
under Roman Catholic influences who go
to church is not very much, if any, larger
than the church going in the Protestant
share of the population.

The Independence Of the Judiciary
Must be Preserved.

The nomination Of Mr. Cleayes by the
Governor, as Justice of the Supreme
Court, presents no better claim to the
favor Of the Executive Council than the
nomination Of Mr.. Putnam. Mr.. Cleaves
may be sound lawyer and an honorable
man so is Judge Putnam. The same
reason exists for the rejection Of Mr.
Cleaves that caused the rejection of Mr.
Putnam. The same stroke is made ut the
independence of the Judiciary in the nom
ination of Mr.. Cleavcs that was made in
the nomination of Mr. Putnam. 1t was
the duty of the Council to reject the first
nomiaation it is equally their duty to re-
iect the latter SO long as Governor
Plaisted will persist in his tyrannical and
blind partisan course of attempting to
punish an honest, able and learned Judge
for pursuing an upright and independent
course upon the Bench. so long should
the Executive Council refuse to sanction
his course. and stand as finn as the eter-
nal hills in favor of the preservation of
the independence of the Judiciary. and

Governor against the people and the gov
eminent of the State

A Mint Superintendent in Trouble.

NEW ORLEANS, April %.
Director Burchard Yesterday commenced
an investigation of the charges recently made
against NJ. V. Davis, superintendent of the
L. $. mint in this city. Reporters were not
admitted. but it was understood that McCue,
the foreman of the rolling room when Davis
was coiner, and Palms, an employee in the
coming rooms and mint since 1879, made
statements. One knew from personal count
that Davis had substituted 1900 trade dollars
for standard dollars by passing them through
rollers, to their DETACHMENT and then having
them coined, and Palms knew 10000 trade
dollars had further been substituted because
OF his knowledge of the capacity of the hopper
and the time Necessary in passing said dollars
through the rollers. All of which he had
noted. Other witnesses and employees of the
mint are to be examined Monday.
