Little Tommy Waller, infant son
Of Mr.. John and Mrs. Sallic Waller,
died on the 9Th of September, 1888,
after short illness. Aged one year
and fifteen days.
Thus, one by one, the flowers fade,
and the clouds of earth's darkest sor-
row sweeps through the disconsolate
household. Too lovely and pure
for earth, this tender bud has been
transplanted in the paradise above,
to bask in the radiance of the Divine
smile, and bloom in the garden OF
God, until the great ''harvcst- home

whole state at his back, the pluck
and sense to handle the Sunday law
and those who violate it. In every
struggle between good and bad NOR
ais, virtue and vice, peace and its
opposite, the HERALD ever desires to
be reconed with the right. If laws
are bad, and work wrong and injury

Until repealed let them be enforced

in keeping it small and manageable.
They have not desired to build il up,
for the reason that if any considera-
BILE force of the able and active men
of the South should become enlisted
in its ranks, they would lose the
power which they have exercised
with so much advantage to them-
selves. They have, by their own H.
liberal spirit, fostered the strong an
tipathies that exist between the par
ties in that section, and then at
tempted to make capital by COM
planning about their effects. They
wish to keep the control in their own
hands and to monopolize the Fede-
raj patronage in their States. These
men have been distinctly enoour-
aged under the present admin
istration. The Offices have been
given to them and public en-
ployments of every grade have
been placed at their disposal
These they make use of to maintain
their control Of the party, and, in
turn, they assume to he able and
probably will be able to choose del
egates to the National convention
whose votes will be practically solid
for the administration candidate,
whoever he may be. This kind of
Republican solidity in the South for
purposes of nomination, is calculated
to perpetuate the Democratic solid
ity sor purposes of election, and it is
an enormous disadvantage to the Re-
publican party of the Nation"

THERE is curious state of affairs
existing in Missouri at this time,
growing out of an attempt to enforce
the observance of the Sabbath
through the operation of what is
known as the Downing law, which
AS we understand it, requires saloons
of all kinds to be kept closed on
Sunday. The law is generally OBJ
served all over the state, save and
except in the city and county of St.
Louis. Here the law is openly vi
olated and defied by the German
populatian, who look upon it as an
Infringement upon their liberties and
an invasion of their civil rights. We
much incline to the idea of allowing
all men to exercice their own Judge
ment in appropriating the seventh
day of the week, so long as they do
not disturb others who are equally
free to choose their peculiar mode Of
observance. But there is higher
question involved in the Missouri
contcst-one that goes to the very
existence of the state government
itself. If the German population,
or any other, for the matter of that,
may openly and successfully defy
and defeat the enforcement Of one
law, why not repudiate and refuse
allegiance to another; and, il one,
why not all laws framed for the social
and moral regulation Of society? AS
it stands now, the whole state is ar
raging itself against St. Louis on the
Sunday question:; and it is only a
question Of time-unlcss the matter
is sooner settlcd-whcn St. Louis
will begin to feel the evil effects OF
such folly as encouragement to re-
sistance to laws framed alike for the
good of every member of the COM
monwealth. This is recognized and
known over the world as a Christian
country. The proper observance of
the Sabbath day, as defined by the
code of Christian ethics, is required
by statute in every state in the
union. If the German people can't
stand the American idea on the sub
ject they had better return to their
own king and country. If they have
conceived the idea OF implanting and
indoctrinating into the minds of the
American people the communism,
nihilism and infidelity of their own
country, the matter might just as
well he settled now as to wait longer.
The situation in Missouri presents
the issue, and now we anxiously
await the result. lfGov. Crittenden

supremacyof the law over the state
