ART AND SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

There is good deal Of discussion among
the better class OF people in our large cities,
Just At present, as to whether it would be
advisable, or not, to make reading rooms and
collections Of books and art works accessible
to the public on Sunday. The question has
aroused 80 much interest that both the sccu-
lar and religious press are giving considera-
bio space TO its debate A very large con.
stituency Of the church going people of the
alties Is Violently opposed to the granting of
any such privilege, for the reason, chiefly,
that it will tend to discourage religious OBJ
iervance OF the Sabbath and habitual attend
aace upon divine worship. On the other
nand, the great mass Of what are known as
'aw-aoidln.' citizens-tho.e who make
morality rather than religion the guide of
'ife-a class which, whether we regret it or
not, is rapidly increasing under the condi
tions OF modern society-this class is hearth
y in favor OF the proposed change.
In the first place, /; is claimed that the
question ia purely political and civil; eccles-
lasticsl arguments have no place in the issue.
They are for each mans private conscience
The State is excluded by its very coustitu-
ton from meddling with creeds. or all the
religions OF the world here represented, the
State is the umpire. the pacifcator, the
protector, but for itself it knows only the
good of the people, Honesty virtue and
order are Its sole legitimate worship; Justice
between man and man, its supreme liturgy.

A MORTClCED C9TNTRy.

Apropos OF the argument foo a reciprocity
treaty with Mexico, that Mexico Is being
absorbed by the United States
anyway, by means of the expansion of
American railroad interests in that country
and that reciprocity will sooner lead TO the
consummation Of that inevitable DESTINY a
Western paper has hunted up some statistics
bearing on the subject. From these it would
appear that Mexico has almost mortgared
the whole country to- Americas capitalists
and the population will apparently be relocated
to the position OF tenants at will. Concessions
it seems, have been granted 20 eight railroads
with an aggregate mileage of nearly twelve
thousand-the Naliuu !, 900 miles, the Cen
trial, 200, the Sonora 2Gj, the Oriental. 600
the Southern, 100, lh Sinaloa, $50, the Top
olobampo, 1900, and .he Southern Pacific.
1000. The subsidies granted these railroads
are on most liberal scale. The National
gets $50, ASP, OOO the Central, $50, 900. 600 :
Sonora, S2,063 600; the Oriental (Jay
Goulds roadD 81 725, 600, and the Southern
(Grants), $l,Gj0,00 In addition TO these
there are number of short lines to which
the Mexcans have granted equally liberal
subsidies. Ga the other hand, the National
road is estimated to cost only $2j, 455, 600, a
sum only $4,000 greater than its subsidy.
But the entire revenue OF the country does
not exceed S25, 0O0, 900 Al nully; and the
subsidies granted the roads above mentioned
amount, therefore, to nearly three ines the
annual income of our liberal neighbor. II
the country can stand it, the railroad-builders
unquestionably can hut the figures would
