THE democrats of Illinois have made a
strong nomination for governor, although
at this distance it appears that either
Stevenson or Sparks would have been an
equally wise selection. John M. Palmer,
although over seventy, is in the full vigof
of his physical and intellectual powers.
He is a brave, honest and able man, with
not trace of the demagogue in his com.
position. He was a gallant soldier, and
made a splendid governor. He ought to
be elected, and we think he will be. -

TOPEKA, Kan, May 30.-The supreme
court yesterday decided a very interesting
question raised 10y the acknowledges and
cigar, confectionery, and fruit dealers of this
city. The city council short time ago passed
an ordinance prohibiting the sale on Sunday
of everything except drugs. Dealers
were ordered to close, and, refusing to obey,
several arrests were made. twas argued by
the dealers that the state law authorized the
sale of provisions and other articles of imme-
date necessity, and that therefore the ordin-
ance was invalid The court holds that the
ordinance is void and says that with such an
ordinance not even a coffin for the dead could
be offered for sale.
