ton point of view by decision OF the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, touching Sunday horse cars.
The Court decides that they cannot be legally
| run on that day ave are Of the opinion says
Judge Coiburn, "that car run is in violation
OF law, though some Of its passengers may be
lawfully traN cling. 1t is not within our province
| TO determine the wisdom expediency of the law
or how far there has been change in public
sentiment in relation to the proper manner Of OBJ
serving tie Lords Day. These considerations are
| for the legislature OF course the horse car
eOple will petition the next legislature for relief
so that this phase Of the Sunday question bids
fair to be pretty thoroughly discussed before the
winter is over.
1t is statesmen's wits rather than their bodies
that need the massage treatment
General Malone declares that "when every
vote cast in Virginia can be honestly counted, the
State will show q Republican majority of 10000"
| There can be doubt about the exact truth Of
| this assurance The South Is still kept solid by
| fraud and violence
| Henry George says that ut is not natural for
| men to like work. How the master wonmen"
must applaud this sentiment
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. William c. Whitney,
amid his multitudinous duties, has taken time to
| read the advertisement which offers a large part
Of the Morgan Iron Works for sale at public auc-
| ton. We shouldn't wonder If he found 1t rather
melancholy reading. When he reflects that he is
| the cause of this great catastrophe to American
industry, that he is the man primarily responsible
/ for the sacrifice OF what was a magnificent
| sMpbuildiny establishment, we shouldn't wonder
| if his conscience troubled him bit If it doesn't
| he is warranted in concluding that his conscience
| has been lost or paralyzed.
| Considering the small amount OF assets which
/ Receiver John O'Brien lays claim to, 1T seems
proper to inquire whether he might not come
within the provisions of the law covering the
cases Of men who have visible means Of support.
| Ii the Chicago anarchists had placed high an
estimate ON the value OF human life that fated
| night at the Haymarket they would not to-day be
standing under the shadow OF an awful retribution.
| The present postmaster of the city Of Rochester
is conceded alike by political friends and political
foes to be n good and faithful public servant
But he il Republican and for that reason solely
| "lbe Rochester Union very DEM urges the
| President to throw him unshriven over Genesce
| Falls at least remove him. to the end that his
place be given to ono OF Rochesters earnest and
| hungry Democrats 1t is such a crucial ctrcum-
stance as this which explains the fact that the
sensitive goddess Of Civil Service reform is never
| found reclining against the velvet violet lining
with the lampght glosting over of the editorial
| chair of The Union"
| II all the good people in Philadelphia succeed in
inducing George w. Childs to be their Mayor. they
| are not likely to have any doodle scandals in
| that town for little while at least
| st is the thing says The Boston Record, ,
| Ito have soup plates smaller this season This
| looks serious. or course The Record consider
| ing It's environment must refer to bean soup
| plates and IL Boston beansoup plates smaller
this season the suspicion is well nigh unavoidable
| that the Boston bean Is declining. Assuming
that this suspicion Is correct. tho Hub may well
stand aghast For the poet well wrote.
While thrvos tho bean shall Boston thrive.
| When droOps the Boston bean shall booon droop.
Ana when she falls the world
| The Executive Mansion at Albany is being
pretty well taken care Of these days, thank you.
Tho last Legislature placed $4,000 in the supply
| bill for repairs, furniture and incidental ex-
penses' Of tho mansion. the same Legislature also
