East Side streets must be stopped. PuDlic
sports, pastimes and shows, and all noise us
turbing the peace of the day are forbidden.
Thsmeans that the beer-gardens Dig ana
little with their "sacred concerts" must shut
their doors. Concerts of so-called "sacreu
character In more pretentous places can
hardly find any loophole OF escape
All open and conspicuous transgres-
sion of the law is to be suppressed. Inc
thousands of cigar stores which have been
doing a Sunday business without check must
now give it up altogether or adopt the secret
and sneaking methods in use by tho bar
rooms, which only admit thirsty souls by the
back DOORS There has been talk OF stopping
pleasure driving, and superintendent Walllngls
quoted as saying that the drivers of fast
horses on Seventh-ave. and the Boulevard are
to be taken into custody. This would cause
bitter lamentation among the owners OF trot-
ting stock and the small army OF men whose
interests are bound up with theirs. Possibly
Il may be shown that this is a pastime OF the
sort prohibited by the Code. But as Cor
poration Counsel Andrews states III his opln-
ion, the old enactments against driving on
Sunday, which were in the Revised Statutes,
do not appear in the new Code, aud it might
be well for the police to go little slow in
this particular matter.
Whatever may be the temporary results OF
trying to carry out the Code to-day it is certain
that this body of criminal law will DO effective
50 far as it is sustained by public sentiment
and 10 further. The Legislature Will meet IN
a month, and if these enactments are founu
to impose an ntolerable burden on this and
other large cities, relief is sure to be prompt.
There is no party capital to be made and no
partisan advantage to be gained in expressing
the people by the rigorous execution OF laws
which have been OutgrOwn. If the great body
of the people find the Sunday or other pro-
visions of the Code too narrow and strict, their
representatives at Albany will soon find way
out of the difficulty. But if this body of laws
is interpreted and put in force in liberal
and discreet spirit, the Sunday provisions will
do little, if any, harm, and may do much good.
There has been room enough for improvement
n the observance of Sunday here.

THE AlTERTCAN 1NTICHRIST

EThere is not clergyman OF any denomination
who fills pulpit to-day that would not he glad
10 hear an answer to the riddle why his pews
are filed with women rather than men. The
clergyman is apt to attribute it to criminal
carcessness the man takes no thought for his
soul. The woman is naturally devOut. This is
a mistake There is no subject so interesting to
any man. no matter how wicked he may be, as
his chance of salvation, the Being he calls God,
and the relation in which he personally stands
TO Him. He will go to hear the preacher who
can tell him the bare truth about himself and
his daily life and he will respect him, too. lie
does not go to hear the ordinary preacher be-
cause his sermons do not touch himself, his
temptations or cravings, or the phases of life
known to him in Office, political club or shop.
Americans who have visited Great Britain this
wear report striking contrast between the
subjects of sermons preached there and here
The ruo is almost invariable that the sermon
in England shall treat of the subject which
for the time occupies public attention. In
American churches, especially among those
which boast the most learning and culture in
their ministers, there is a growing dislike to
meddle with the personal spiritual affairs of
the flock. The sermons are usually theoretc
essays which. however correct, have as much
to do with the actual life of street and house. as
the cOlOred lines in a map have to DO with the
real water in a river or the dust ia tho road
or they are carefully written literary efforts Of
good puIport which challenge the criticism of
the nearer but which he never could imagine
were a sharp call to look to his own soul and its
condition. The well-bIed gentleman who fills
the pulpit naturally feels gentemans reluc-
lance to grapple barehanded with the iudivd-
ual dishonesty, the drunkenness, the false rules
of life Of HIS neighbors. Unconsciously, per-
haps, he finds some devil to fight who is not at
all likely to be a daily familiar of his friend in
the pews. The Unitarian inyeighs against the
i'll done by the doctrine Of the Trinity the Ro.

The Irish revolutionists have not SHOWN

covered his enemies with confusion IN fariia-
ment, and with the English Nation almost
solid in his support and Egyptian affairs wei

crisis in Ireland It is now the secret socleties
against the police. There can be but one emu
to it the assassins will be Deaten. Inc poll
ticians do not dare to sympathize with them
openly and the mass of the people seem only
too glad to devote themselves TO something
besides moonlight murders. 1t seems pretty
clear that the only reason which impelled the
reyolutioEists to precipitate a crisis was the
convection that it must be now or never.
There is a good deal of force in what one
of the theatrical managers of this city says III
reference to the responsibility for unsafe
playhouses. 1t rests upon the owners OF the
property, if not wholly, at least III great
measure. The theatres in New-YOrk pretty
generally belong to large estates, the owners
of which could easily afford to make neeueu
alterations. They will not, and the managers
often cannot. 1t has been shown that the
most effective way of suppressing dlsorderly
resorts is to hold property owners Responsible
for certain violations of law on Their premises.
They look carefully after the character oi
their tenants under such circumstances. In
the measures which the Inspector OF Buildings
homes to have passed at Albany this winter
there onght TO be clause fixing similar
responsibility for any disasters which may
occur in playhouses upon the owners or them'
unless they have done all in their power 10
make the places safe. Needed alterations
then would be quickly made.

1t can hardly be possible that certain police
captains intend to stop street cleaning in their
precincts to- day, in attempting to carry out the
provisions of the Penal Code. II streetcoan-
ing in this city is not work Of necessity and
mercy. nothing is.
Lord Duffcrin's presence in Egypt has not
proved to be so bad thing for the Porte
after all. When the shrewd Irishman left Con-
stantinople the Sultan was paralyzed with
terror. Apparently be thought that if little
knowledge was a dangerous thing, good
deal must be much worse and there was no
doubt that Lord Dufferin knew all there was
TO be known of the Sultans relations to Arab,
the Khedive, and all the other Egyptian Off
Gals But it seems now that the diplomats
full understanding of affairs is likely to save
Arabs life and while the Sultan has lost
Egypt, his lies and treachery will not all be
exposed.
Mr.. Gladstone and his friends have a right
to contemplate the session of Parliament just
ended with hearty satisfaction. They have
accomplished all they set out to do. The
rules of procedure have been amended, and
Egyptian affairs have not been discussed any
more than the Premier saw ft. The Con-
servatives were baked at every FONT, and
the only one of their number, probably, who
regards his performance with pleasure, is Lord
Randolph Churchill. He wanted nOtOriety and
lie got it, Mr.. Gladstone with his statistics
of absenteeism showed so plainly the insn-
cerity Of the Opposition to the closure that no
wonder Sir Stafford Northcote feels sick.
Whatever annoyances Mrs. Langtry has en-
dured since her arrival here, she can certainly
find much compensation for them in studying
the returns of the box Office. The receipts in
proportion have exceeded those for the same
number of performances of Mile. Sarah Bern
hardt Wallack's Theatre is smaller than
Booths, aud the price of tickets TO see Mrs.
Langtry was dollar less The French actress
