THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

Two institutions in New York To-
Gated on public grounds, the Museum
of Natural History and the Mctropoli.
ian Museum of Art each receive an
nually from the city about $4,000.
Yet they are practically inaccessible to
the majority of the citizens Of New
York because they are shut up on
Sundays. The New York HsrtiR has
started n movement in favor of the
public being allowed to see, enjoy and
study the contents OF these institutions
on the only day in the week which they
can call their own. II has interviewed
many prominent citizens aud mc-
chants all of whom favor the Sunday
opening, and the reasons given apply
with equal if not greater force to the
Congressional Library, the National
Museum, the Botanical Garden and the
Smithsonian Institution in the city Of
Washington.
They are all located in public build
ings and receive annually large sums
of money from the public Treasury.
The people who most desire access to
them and who would he greatly bcnc-
flied by such privilege are barred out
because Of certain puritauic-we
cannot call 1t religious prciu lice
These institutions arc presumably, in
tended for the dissemination of human
knowledge, but the majority Of those
who catch glimpse Of their interiors
are heeting sight-seers who are visiting
the Capital 1t is high time that meas
ures were adopted whereby they might
be made of some substantial advantage
TO the great working masses Of the
people, whose opportunities for intel
lcctual culture or recreation during the
secular days of the week are necessarily
limited if not totally inhibited by the
nature of their avocations.
Aside from the aversion which many
church people entertain towards any
reform of old practices which is calcul.
ated to make Sunday day Of profit
rather than ideness to thousands whose
avenues of improvement are narrow
and far apart the only other argument
advanced against the Sunday opening
movement is that Of the additional OK
pense incurred, but the increased ex.
penditure would be so small as to be
insignificant in comparison with the
accruing benefits.
1t is striking illustration of human
inconsistency or the warp Of religious
bigotry, that in many cities the
theatres, the beer gardens, the sacred
concerts" the side doors to drinking.
houses, are all kept open, while the
libraries and art galleries and museum
are locked and doublelocked, les
society should be demoralized and th'
church profaned.

TIE PUBIC HEALTH.

The reports of Health Oillcer Town
shend and Mr. Robinson, the Inspector
of Plumbing, are of unusual in.
terest this year, so much so that
we elsewhere reproduce some of their
more important suggestions and rec
concentrations. 1t will be seen that
DR.. Townshend, with a view to laying
permanent foundations for the health
fulness that so generally prevails
throughout the District, has been de-
voting special attention to the sanitary
wants of the suburbs, upon which 50
much depends for continuance of the
salubIity which the National Capt.
tai now enjoys. There is perhaps no
city in the world where such system
attic attention is paid to the maintenance
of proper sanitary conditions, and as n
consequence the Health Department of
Washington occupies a high place in
the estimation Of corresponding bodies
in all large cities both in this country
and Europe.
1t is the excellence Of the climate of
the Capital, quite as much as its pic
turesque surroundings its social at
fractions and the great political inter
ests centering here, that renders itsuch
desirable place Of residence. In fact,
without this all-essential feature, its
other advantages would be in great
measure counteracted, and Washington
become a place rather to be avoided
Than what it is--a city Of elegant
homes.
1t is fortunate, indeed, that these
facts have been so thoroughly appreci-
ated and that the natural tendencies of
the valley of the Potomac to the deycl.
opment of malarious disease have been
so thoroughly neutrali2cd aud over
come by wise regulations and vigorous
effort on the part of our sanitary au-
thoritles, until the National Capital
now ranks as not only the most beauti-
full and progressive, but one of the
most salubrious cities on any continent.
