Sunday Observance.

We clip the following article from
the Detroit Post, which we trust will
be read bv iiiony of our readers, as il
merits attentions: "The clear declara-
ton of the Roman Catholic plenary
council In Baltimore in favor of @
strict tiioaSa not exactly puritanical
observi,.iee of the Lords day. will
strike pleasantly the people of all re-
liglous denominations. Says the coun-
ell: TO turn the Lords day into a dav
If toll is bligliting curse to the coun-
r.; to turn it into day Of dissipation
would lie worse. There is one way to
profanc the Lords day which is so pro-
itic OF evil results that we consider il
our duty TO utter against II especial
.elling beer or other liquors on Sun
lay, or Of frequcntng places where
hey are sold. This practice tends
Wore than any other to turn The day
the lord into II day of dissipation;
TO use 1t as an occasion FOR breeding in,
temperance. This is sound doctrine
from II secular a. well as from an eccle-
siastical point of view Jhe setting
apart of one day in seven Us time of
rest is wise even if it were not sane
toned by church or synagogue by
the jewish law or the edicts of the ear
ly Christians.
The manifesto of the council touch
ing the use OF liquof on Sunday, is il
accord with the uniform teaching OF
the Catholic church; but it is especial
ly welcotle from The most authorita
can branch Of that church. IL comes
as an encouragement to wise and Wig
orous legislation for the suppression of
the liquor traffic on Sunday, and for
the diligent enforcement of the stat
utes. 1t joins the approval of the
Catholic church TO the universal de-
mand of all Protestant churches that
intoxicating drinks shall be neither sold
nor exposed for sale on the first day of
the week This attitude of the whole
Christian body, which is not opposed
by those who keep the seventh day,
should be sufficient to insure the clos
ing of every grog shop in the United
States on Sunday. Success in this di-
rection would 60 a long way toward
practical temperance reform 1t would
be visible, tangible step toward less
ening the consumption of spirituous
liquors. 1t would not abolish alcohol
from the face of the earth nor reverse
the laws Of nature; but il would be fol-
lowing the lead of the Christian church
universal in a measure tending TO con
serve the public health and morals"

There is, as every one must have fore
seen there would be, great deal Of bad
feeling in the Democratic party growing
out of the injudicious tariff agitation
which has just closed, and Mr.. Morri-
sons unseemly cursing on the floor of
the House of Representatives when the
vote was about to be taken, has not been
the only profanity INDUCED in over the
result. We believed all along that the
agitation of the question in the present
session was bad politics, and could only
result.in injury to the Democratic party,
without in any way benefting the coun'
try. We expressed this opinion before
Congress met, and the result of the bat,
tie so far has vindicated the correctness
of that opinion. The true chance for
Democratic victory is to proceed to in.
vestigate the extrayagancies of the gov
ernment-show what reductions can be
made when we get into power, and pledge
our party to reduce the expenses of the
government to an economical basis, and
to reduce our tariff duties as low as can
be done to raise the sum necessary to

tivity be conservatively invested in real
estate. The ruin, however, Of the Grant
family | should think would be pretty
complete. Mr.. Fish was only special
partner in Wards house, while Gen.
Grant was full partner.

Exchange gambling are not always
blessed. Keene's failure, which happen
ed only the week before the Produce
Exchange opened, commenced in specu.
lating in produce and grain. When he
came to New York city one of the first
things he went into was Chicago Produce
Exchange speculation. Not much is to
be expected from any man who habitu-
ally speculates any more than from a
man who habilualIy risks his all on a
card. Yet recent things show that
gambling is the most universal vice in
the United States. The late walking
match was more talked about than the
next Presidential election, not because
of the trial of endurance, but because
of the betting it opened up.

THE FAILURE OF THE GRANTS.

The firm of Grant u Ward, OF which
Gen. Grant and his SONS we're members,
has failed in connection with the Marine
Bank, and the prominence of the mem
bers of the firm has caused much com.
ment both in political and financial cir
cles. The dealings of the house are
being severely criticised, judging from
the articles which have found their way
into the papers. The New York Tribune
says of this failure:
"Facts which are gradually leaking
cut regarding the operations and business
methods of the suspended firm of Grant
& Ward, whose collapse was coincident
with that of the Marine National Bank
on Tuesday, exhibit the condition of the
house in even worse light than has been
generally imagined. Not only are they
known to have rchypothecated securi-
ties lodged with them on loans by sever
al railroad companies, but they have
obtained larger advances on some of
these collaterals than the amount they

President Arthur has expressed him
self as favorable to the bill for the relief
ofiGen. Fitz John Porter, and it was
supposed that when the bill passed the
Senate the measure was safe, bit recent
events have convinced the friends of the
bill that the President will likely veto:

meeting Of the national Republican Con:
vention, in order to make some votes in
his party which are violently opposed to.
theirelief of Porter. To save the bill
however, friends have got it safely lodged
in the hands Of a conference committee
on differences between the two houses,
and will keep it there until after the
Republican nominee is named. This is
a most serious and disgraceful charge to
make against the President. If there is
any foundation whatever for it, Mr..
Arthur ought to be beaten even for
Republican nomination. To use the
veto power for party advantage on parti-
san measures is an outrage upon the
sworn duties Of President, but that is
not to be compared with the blackness of
heart and the insincerity of the man who
will use those powers to prevent justice
being done to an injured man in order
that he may get few votes for nomi-
nation. If the President is seeking o
denomination by these methods, it will
be public calamity for him to succeed.

All of the Democrats from this State
in Congress voted against striking out
the enacting clause of Morrison's Tariff
Bill, and BY 50 doing represented the
wishes of their constituents, and we
believe the best interests of the whole
country. The bill was not a model measure
by any means, for it had no discrimina-
ton III it. The theory Of the Republi-
can Tariff Act was recognized as correct,
and the same per cent. of reduction
made ON every article, which We. think
could not have been permanent, because
We do not believe it would have been
just; but still it was a great improve.
ment upon the present taxation, and for
this.reason would have been substantial
relief to the people if it could have
become a Law. We do not think the bill
ever stood any chance to become . law,
but as it was in,soln I'D every member
ought to have voted in accordance with
his real convictions on the matter. In

see the South Carolina Democrats ranged
soiidly upon the side of revenue reform.

making his way to the coast of Florida.
After experiencing strange adventures in
Il small craft laden with sponges, on
board of which he put to sea, Mr..
Benjamin landed safely in England, to
find that his fame as a lawyer and
statesman had preceded him, and that
the Confederacy which he served SO
warmly had still some friends. Mainly
by the advice and assistance of the late
Chief Justice Pollock, Mr.. Benjamin
conirived to get called to the English
bar without losing three years in keeping
terms. He was 55 years old when he
first put on the wig and gown of an
English barristcr, and the tremendous
experiences through which he had al
ready passed would have exhausted the
energy of most public men. Yet the
history of the English bar will hereafter
have no prouder story to tell than that of
the marvellous advance of Mr.. Benjamin
from the humble position he occupied as
a junior in 1866 to the front rank of his
profession in 1883.

meet these expenses. Tariff reduction is
matter of great Importance, but it can
not be jumped at. In order properly to
reduce the tariff, We should first find
out how much the expenditures of the
government can be reduced, and then
when we have the power conform tae
tariff to those reductions. The Demo
cratic party is not responsible for the
existing laws, and cannot be made so
until the people entrust the government
to it. Therefore it is impolitic and use
less to undertake reformations which we
know in advance we cannot accomplish.
By volunteering such performances, we
run the risk of divisions among ourselves
and ridicule from our enemies.

Death Of Judah P. Benjamin.

LONDON, May Judah P. Benjamin,
the distinguished lawyer and advocate
and ex.member of the Government of
the Southern Confederacy is dead.
Mr.. Benjamin died in his apartments
in the Avenue Jena, Paris.
Nearly four years since Mr., Benjamin
had bad fall in Paris from tram. car,
on the road running parallel to the
Seine. Forgetting that he was not quite
as young as when last in New Orleans,
he jumped, as had formerly been his
habit when resident in the Crescent
City," from the car while it was still in
motion, and, losing his feet, be held on
to the rail, and WAS dragged many yards,
dislocating his shoulder and breaking
two or three ribs. From the shock thus
sustained Mr.. Benjamin never entirely
recovered, and one of the worst effects
resulting from the accident was that it
brought back an internal disorder, some
SYMPTOMS of which bad manifested
themselves at Richmond, in Virginia,
during the American civil war.
1t was in 1911 that Mr.. Benjamin first
saw the light upon the Danish Island of
St. Croix. There he remained with his
parents for four years until the war was
over when his parents made their way to
Charleston, in South Carolina, and
thence, little later on, to New Orleans.
In that city Mr.. Benjamin's boyhood was
spent, until, in 1929, he was sent, as a
student, to Yale College in Connecticut.
He returned in 1892 to New Orleans, and
was Immediately called to the bar He
was sent little later by the State of
Louisiana to the United States Senate at
Washington; and after the death Of
Webster, Clay, Calhoun, and Silas
Wright it was the opinion of many, ln'
Guiding the late Charles Summer-who,
as regards political opinions, stood to Mr..
BENJAMIN in the relation of antipodean
opposition-that the Senator from
Louisiana was the most eloquent orator in
the Union.
A description of the services rendered
by Mr.. benjamin 10 the Confederate
States during those FIVE years of unparal.
leled trial and effort between 1861 and
1865, which saw the "Stars and Bars"
floating above the Capitol of Richmond,
Virginia, would fill volume. Many
Southerners had done far more than Mr..
Benjamin to bring on the secession of the
Southern States; but when once the fatal
step was taken no man served the cause
of the South more superbly in the Cabi-
net than the orator whose last speech in
tho United States Senate before taking
leave of it forever had sent an electric
thrill throughout the whole civilized!
world.
With the conclusion of the civil war,
Mr.. BENJAMIN had to effect his escape
from Richmond, and he succeeded in
