The people are not fools, and laws and courts
will not be made a farce of for their benefit.
What good will result from the closing of
the saloons on Sundays, as the
law directs and as is perfectly
practicable under proper enforcement of law,
has been demonstrated during the last two
Sundays. Usually there have been from twenty
to twenty-five arrests made on Sunday. On
Sunday of last week there was but one, and
yesterday, up to o'clock P. NJ, there were
none. These facts tell the whole story,
and settle the question for the flu
ture. The saloon-keepers will have to
obey the law, and if they do not want to do
80, they must get out Of the business. 1t has
been decreed by power greater than the
Liquor League that the domination of the
saloon shall be stopped, and that it shall be
amenable to the law. If saloon-k keepers have
the sense they were born with they will not
continue to fool with the buzz saw.

The Democratic Need.

The following editorial. with flag displayed
at the head, appeared in the Sentinel of Satur-
day. under the caption of Name a Leader"
1--WE know no reason why the caucus of the
Democratic members of the next Legislature
should not be held Immediately. We know
many imperative reasons why it should be.
1.-THE seventysx Democrats who have been
fairly elected to seats in the General Assembly
should at once go into council of war. and their
first business should be the choosing of leader.
For the impending struggle a leader is need
ed. The Republicans now enjoy this advantage.
Senator Harrison is the sole candidate of his
party. Around him all elements rally. The
Democrats have half dozen names before
| them. Ordinarily this would be of little conse-
| quence But the peculiar conditions now exist
ing make it absolutely necessary that the choice
of the party for the United States senatorship
should be fixed Immediately.
"We must have a commander in the field.
"The scheme of the Republican managers of
Senator Harrison's interests is known of all men,
| 1t is prosecuted Systematically, with Senator
| Harrison close at hand to direct and advise
| The Democratic efforts to block the scheme are
we'll conceived, but they lack system and COM
prehenslve generalship This is because of
clashing personal interests, natural enough and
| entirely pardonable. The immediate nonana-
ton of senatorial candidate will put the whole
business into orderly shape. Can any one
suggest a sufficient reason for deferrng the
nomination until the opening of the General AS
ton of Democratic rights is to be Fought We
think not There will be confusion enough
without party squAbble over a senatorial
nomination. The postponement of the nomina-
tion is simply concession to tradition-that is
all. Name the man now. Put leader at the
front, and then the party can attend without
distraction, to the work of protecting it's fairly
elected Representatives
1.-THE Sentinel does not care what name shall
be agreed upon by the caucus It has no candi-
Ia RI hac nrnfn nd ic
free of obligations.
Therefore, let the commander be chosen, and
let him take instant charge of the forces. Let
him appoint his aids, and issue his orders. Time
presses, and there is much in jeopardy The
enemy is up and alert He is losing no oppor-
tunties. He is aggressive, INSCRIPTIONS, and
sensible of the value of the stake involved. He
can win only through Democratic disorganiza-
ton. The leader once named. the Democratic
ranks will close up. Name him. then. and call
the bugler"

IT is very notable that all the Socialists
and the Anarchists and the men who platitu-
dinize and attitudnize about the social revo"
luton, are men who never did days honest
work with their hands in their lives. They
are all, without notable exception, of that
class which the Knights of Labor so justly
describe as '.iawsmiths." The most of them are
men who live so out of harmony with law and
society that whenever they leave their coun-
try, whatever their country be, it is for their
country's good. The whole brood Of them
cannot and do not contribute anything of
practical value to the solution of problems in
which real labor is interested and which are
monopolizing the best thought of the world as
never before

THERE is not particle of doubt that on a
straight fight between the two parties Washing

sand to FIVE thousand majority, and if the Dem

of capturing either brace of Senators or trio
of electoral votes, they would be pretty sure to
fare as badly as in 1876, when they let Colorado

THIS episode should be the end of all pretence
that Mr. Cleveland desires to make the civil
service nonpartisan He should cease his
preaching, for his practice discredits 1t. He
really desired to make the service Democratic,

WE reprint from the Indianapolis Sentinel
a somewhat remarkable article that appeared
in that paper on Saturday last. 1t was an
article of great pith and moment, and it was
evidently written and printed on the very
perilous edge of battle. The article was
double-lead and, for fear it might not then
receive the attention the subiect-matter de-
manded, it was surmounted by cut Of the
star-spangled banner It is proper for the
Journal to say that the article shows boldness
on the part of the Sentinel. The State organ
sees the condition Of it's party, and it does not
hesitate to publicly say that it is such as to
demand instant and heroic treatment Weaker
counsels than those which control the Sen
tinel might suggest the policy of
waiting and Of assembling, but the
Sentinel boldly and truthfully faunts the
facts in the face Of its party, and says that
something must be done and done at once
Such bold course on the part of the Senti-
mel must have its effect. The party through
out the State must recognize the necessity of
coming Immediately to the capital to see
what can be done to keep the old
hulk together. Within a few days,
at the outside, the newly elected Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature,
and some mon not elected, together with the
great leaders and counselors, will assemble
here and a council of war will be held. The
meeting will not be without very great inter-
est, and to insure the best possible results, it
should be held with open doors This sug-
gestion we beg to add to the sagacious and
intrepid programme outlined by the new Dem
ocratic Lochinvar of the Sentinel.
