Sunday Necessities.


| The investigation of the state com
niittee in the interest of education and
| labor develops at least one truth, and
that is. that there are certain things now
| tabooed by religious prejudices that
would be of benefit to the toiling classes.
A careful canvass Will reveal a surprising
amount of iIIiteracy among the mass of
men and women who toll from one end
of the week to the other. Their natures
NAV crave the beautiful in literature and
art; but they have no time to satisfy the
craving. A few years in the dreary
tread-miIl of drudgery in which they
are placed bIunts the desire for the
| higher works of art and literature, and
| finds them the readers Of the purientIy
illustrated journals of the day. The
great mass of the readers of sensational
! literature, like the Police Gazette, the
Police News and other similar corrupt
ling publications, comes from that class
who toll daily and who, in earlier years
in the developing period Of their lives,
had no opportunity to cultivate a
higher taste. Iti crying shame that
the religious people of our land can not
see this thing in its proper light. They
deplore the degenerated taste of this
generation, and yet they unwillingly
create it. They wax virtuouBly indignant
over the saloons and concert gardens
open to the public on the Sabbath day
and close their free reading rooms and
art galleries on that day of lldays which
should see them open to the men and
women and children who can visit them
on no other day. In every city such in
stitutions should be open on Sunday.
Rochester might begin to set so worthy
an example. If these good people who
so assiduiously deplore the degeneracy of
the times are in earnest, they could make
no greater stride toward improving the
morals and taste of the rising generation,
than to use their influence to have open
cd to the public on Sunday the libraries,

the physician who deY0teS himself to Teliey-
