Sunday Newspapers.

\ despatch from New York last
Thursday says i very amusing dis
oovery Was made by the newspaper
men yesterday. At least they think 1t
4 good joke on the NethOdists Bishops,
who spose 20 decidedly IN their address
on the subject of Sunday work, espec-
ially on Ssndsy pspers. A sharp re-
porter learned that the DAILY ChriS-
fIGn -idrooafe of Monday was set up in
part on Sunday morEIng. This makes
the publishers Of Sunday papers laugh
IN their sleeves. They don't think the
.7dc0cGte people have done anything
wrong, but are IUcliDed 10 thank them
for unwirtiugiy contributing to estsb-
fishing that TO supply the public with
news on Monday requires a certain
amount Of work to be done on Sunday,
and that really Sunday papers do not
require as much Sunday work as Mon
day morning newspapers. Mr.. Sher
ards idea of coudemning Sunday pa
pers aud then taking the news that 9th
er people have gathered on Sunday
and using it 90 Monday doesn't seem
hardly the :AIr thing

Our Republicans.

The Ketchum delegation to the
republican convention, at Bellevue,
returned home Thursday evening
They were Major A. J. Pinkham.
J. G. Rumsey and L. D. Newman
The KEYSTONE congratulates the
gentlemen on their safe return and
Mr.. Newman especially, on his
nomination for county commits
sioner. This was the one thing per
formed at the convention for the
good Of Ketchnm, and the delega'
ton, which was with the powerless
minority, deserves praise for effect
ing this much under such adverse
circumstances. Dow will make :
good commissioner and every man
woman and child in the communi
ty, regardless of nationality, pol
itics or religion" should work early
and late for his election. Dow is Z
republican, but all republicans art
not rascals if all rascals ARE repub
leans. Even the good and wis
sometimes become mislead by al
erring fancy or a misconception o
the truth.

Of 80 case. There have been IA
pardons granted by the President
to persons convicted under the
above mentioned acts, which were
generally made upon the recon-
mendation of the court and terrific
rial officials on the grounds OF ole
