The Sunday Newspaper.
New York Graphic.


The Sunday journal has come to stay, for the
simple and sufficient reason that 1t meets @
legitimate and pressing public demand. The
weekly day of rest is the day when the average
man or woman has most leisure for reading, and
the successful Sunday paper meets the exlgency
with its wide variety of news, criticism, fiction
and poetry. Doubtless many publications de-
signed for Sabbath reading possess Objectionable
features and are far from resembling the ideal
that anybody may conceive, bat we think the
steady tendency is towards higher standards
through the elimination of vulgar and merely
sensational features.
Viewed broadly, the Sunday journal cooper
ates with the pulpit in inspiring men rowardG
better lives, and we must not forget that ii
reaches vast audiences not numbared among the
regular frequenters of any church and not en-
rolled 10 formal worship with any Congregation.
Some years ago many clergymen regarded the
Sunday newspaper in the light of rival calcu-
lated to seduce worshipers from strict attention
to their sermons, but that groundless jealousy
has almost entirely disappeared. The familiar
argument condemning the performance of man
ual or intellectual labor on the Sabbath, Ia
bringing out the newspaper has also lost most OF
its potency. As matter of fact the bulk of the
work for Sunday journal Is performed on Sat.
urday, and the argument if it be valid, should
be directed against the Monday morning issue.
which usually reports the utterances OF leading
preachers.

recent years. 1t does not regard them with
the complacency or indifference that it once
did. Political frauds are now regarded as
public crimes. The adage that everything is
fair in politics finds no supporters now save
among the most disreputable class Of poll
ticians-the fellows who would as lieve win an
election by altering tally-sheets as by fair
and honest vote. But the better moral
sense of both parties is opposed to such
methods. There is q growing sentiment
that right is right, that the will of the people
honestly and legally expressed must be ac-
guessed in by ALL But it must be honestly
and legally expressed, and an essential part of
the binding force Of an election, if there is
dispute, consists in ascertaining if the pop
ular will has been honestly and legally ex-
must be complied with, and in every doubt
full election it is not only proper but neces-
sary to inquire if they have been. Such an
inquiry cannot endanger any right, and
if the right does not exist it cannot be created
by fierce reiteration. If the Democrats have
Honestly elected seventy-six members of the
Legislature, any fair and legal inquiry that
may be instituted will result in establishing
the fact. In that case they will have no
trouble in "holding the fcrt." If an opposite
state of facts should be disclosed they will
have to surrender the fort-or, rather, they
will have no fort to hold. But the matter
cannot be settled in advance of investigation
by reiterated assertions in black-faced type

querie.

SOME of the ministers of Chicago accepted
the invitation of the managers to attend the
opera last night and witness the ballet. There
has been considerable talk about the matter,
and conjecture as to whether the ministers
would go. No doubt the sending Of the invi-
tation was partly an advertising scheme on the
part of the managers, though they professed
sincere desire to convince the ministers that
the ballet is not immoral. Certainly there can
be no improperly in the ministers going to
see it to inform themselves as to it's real char
acter. -As intelligent, pure minded men they
are good judges in such matters, and in order
that they may speak Understandings it is
best they should see for themselves One of
them who declared his purpose of attending
last night, and who had preached against the
ballet in st. Louis and Chicago, admitted
he had never seen it. II asked st.
Louis journalist" he said, 'to give me
truthful description of what the ballet was
like and from what he told me | felt sure
it had no direct connection with the words or
music of the opera, but was simply added to
the performance to stimulate the baser pas
sions of mankind and attract those who would
not otherwise pay the high price of admis-
siop." On the strength of this information the
minister attacked the ballet But the ST.
Louis journalist might have been preiudiced.
Perhaps one of the young ladies of the ballet
had snubbed him and he purposely gave the
minister prejudced view. Even journalists
are human. After the Chicago ministers
have seen the ballet with their own eyes they
will be able to give an intelligent verdict

HOLDING THE FORT.

| The violent efforts of the Sentinel to work
its readers into a fine frenzy concerning the
political situation in this State have subsidized
into the following announcement, which is
kept standing, in black type, at the head of
the editorial page:
''The Democrats of Indiana have honestly
elected seventy-six members of the next Gen
eral Assembly. Let the fort be heldw
This is like the distant roll of thunder that
| follows destructive bolt, or the faint fire
| that announces battle ended. But why
continue to beat the long roll? Why proong
| the appeal to the unterrifed Democracy to
| hold the fortg There is no war on hand, no
crisis impending. The Democrats will have
no trouble in holding any fort they are en-
titled to hold, for no person proposes to dis
lodge them from any position orpossession that
| rightly belongs to them If they have Honestly
|. elected seventy-six members of the next Gen.
eral Assembly" there is no danger of this fact
being reversed or of their being deprived of
any of the rights attaching to it. No person
desires or proposes to interfere with an "hon-
est Democratic majority in the Legislature,
if they have such a majority. The day has
passed in Indiana when any party can safely
resort to dishonest, revolutionary or unfair
methods to obtain a temporary advantage over
its adversary. The record Of the Democracy
furnishes come conspicuous instances
of the use of such methods, and of
their reactionary effects on the party using
them. One of the most notable was the
Democratic gerrymander, a thoroughly un-
constitutional proceeding, the history of
which the ends of public justice may yet re-
quire to be exposed and its fragrant wrongs
righted. Even the Democrats would hardly
dare repeat that outrage in the present state
of public opinion. Akin in spirit ia the at
tempt to nullify the popular election for
Acknowledgements, but that meets with no
encouragement outside of small circle of in
terested partisans. Fair-minded Democrats
do not regard it with any favor. The
fraudulent alteration of the tally-sheets
in this county has been partially
and temporarily successful, but the reaction
has already set in, and it will not be long before
the most violent Democratic partisan will adj
NIT that the fraud was great blunder, and
the small advantage gained by it very dearly
purchased. The public mind has undergone
decided change in regard to such matters in
