MONDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1889.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION DID 1T
From the Commercial Gazette.
IT was the Sunday question that
harmed the republican party here in
Cincinnati. The latest Sunday law
was not wanted in the shape in
which it was enacted by the republi-
cans who are capable OF close calcula-
tions as well as deep emotions, but
once il was started all the votes that
1t lacked at any time were effusively
supplied by the democrats.
1t was conceded even by those most
careless as to Sunday observance
that something should be done for the
decency of the day. The question
was how to do it. A radical enact
ment was tried, and we have been
unfortunate in its administration.
The saloon-keepers set themselves
up as higher law-one quite unto
themselves-and made proclamation
that they were superior to the state.
They had to be taken in hand
sharply.
The governor, as was his duty
came to the front and said what he
had to say with absolute frankness
and characteristic emphasis; and the
mayor, that he might be impartial,
extended the enforcement of all Sun
day laws beyond anything known for
many years. AS the election approach
ed there was relaxation and con-
fusion.
The very good folks thought the
police court tower of strength, and
the wicked believed in the inherent
badness of the democratic party. 1t
was a familiar combination. The re-
suit is before the country.
Citizens who make speciality OF
goodness broke the lines of the Re.
publican party in the elections last
fall and spring, and boasted of their
1000 votes, ready to be put into the
scales at any hour for law and order
The theory was they would more than
make up for the loss the republic ms
would suffer in the German wards
but the figures of the voting yesterday
do not show that they distinguished
themselves save by scratching the
republican and voting the democratic
ticket
We hoped to prevent the German
republican vote from going largely
with the saloons, which were organ
lied for offensive and defen
sive war, and we could have a"
cOmplis"ed it if it had not been TO
the complication OF the sunday gu 8
ton. The German publicans arr
not The serfs of the saloons, but they
have a strong fancy for the custom o
taking their beverages out of doors
on Sunday.

LYNN'.S MISFORTUNE.

1t was easy to understand why such towns
as Seattle and Spokane, flames having once got
well started, should be straightway consumed.
They were new cities, and though they con-
tanned a number of wel-constructed buildings
of stone and iron and brick, yet surrounding
these throughout both cities were many frame
shanties, light and we'll seasoned when 1ur-
nished enough combustible material TO produce
great and fierce confiagrations. Nor had either
of these far Western towns anything ike an
adequate water supply or sufficiently equipped
Fire Department. Neither possessed trained
force of firemen. and both were distant from
all outside aid. Complete destruction was the
only Dossible result of fire which had all the
food it wanted and practically no resistance
Rut il is startling and disquieting to see the
same result in town existing under precisely
opposite conditions. Lynn was an old, Well
arranged city. as well-bult as could be asked
or eypected. The district so quickly and ferce-
" devastated was full of brick buildings Inc
water supply was ample. The local fire service
was able, practiced and numerically strong ana
# was soon reinforced by dozen engines ana
large bodies of trained firemen from Boston,
salem and other cities. They had no lack OF
hose or OF any Olner Oooi vi "pP"""NO' NAN
vet the fire drove ahead without the slightest
check until property to the value OF 30, 100000
or sc. 0OO. 600 had been consumed.
This experience teaches that there is prao-
ticaly no defence against fire except in build
incs which cannot melt and will not bum, and
vet it is not to be expected that entire cities
can be built up OF such high-class structures.
These are and must in the nature of things be
the exceptions in every community, and if in
extreme emergencies no flood Of water however
well directed. can be relied upon to save COM
munity-if that must be accepted as demon
strated fact it leaves the public and the fire
insurance companies in an uncomfortable sltua-
ton. Lynn's misfortune falls with particular
severity upon the working people, who formed
a large part of it's population. 1t is man
ufacturing city, and gives employment to about
$4,000 operatives in mills and factories. Oh
these as many as 8, 900 are thrown out of en-
ployment. and not few of those thus afflicted
have lost, as well, their houses and the little
they had accumulated The Mayor
of Lynn has called for help, and certainly the
situation fully justifieS such an appeal. He
should feel no humiliation at having to perform
that duty and should be sustained, as undoubt-
edy he will be, by the generous sympathies,
practically expressed, of the country far and
wide.

REPUBLICAN REFORMS IN NKW.YORK.

The demand for ballot reform has been so
general and so imperative that ii would not be
altogether strange if Governor Hill should sign
the measure providing for that reform which
the coming Republican Legislature will send
to him. If he does small thanks to him. The
people will not lose sight Of the fact that the
initiative in behalf of the reform was taken by
the Republican party, while the Democracy op-
posed it until it was forced into line by the
irresistible power of public sentiment. OF
course there may have been Republicans who
were opposed to ballot reform, just as there may
have been Democrats who were in favor Of it.
But political parties are properly judged by the
acts of their own chosen representatives and
applying this test the Republican party is to be
named the party of ballot reform and the Dem
Ocratic party the party Of ant-ballot reform.
For the last two years Republican legislators
have labOred earnestly to secure the passage of
the Saxton bill but at both sessions they en-
countered the hostility of the Democratic minor
ity and Democratic Governor.
Other reforms have been similarly treated by
the two parties in this State. Republicans have
originated and stOutly championed them, and
Democrats have fought them until they have
been forced by cxpediency to change front
Take the important amendments to the Con-
stitution of the State providing for canal re-
form and prison reform. Nobody to-day would
have the temerity to advocate return to the
old system Of canal and prison administration
l ct when the Republicans originally proposed
these amendments, and for several years after
ward, the Democrats, instead of cooperating
Tor their success, lahore strenuously for their
defeat. When the amendments came up in the
Legislature of 1874 only one Democrat in either
the Senate or Assembly voted for them So

hand, Democrats, when they have been in n
minority at Albany, have placed Stumbling
blocks in the path of excise reform, and when
they have been in the majority-as in 1888
they have played into the hands of the saloons.
Some of these days good practical High-L-
cense law will be placed upon the statute books.

An Official of the Dock Department was DIS
covered yesterday who actually knew something
about the business of the Department ana
whose memory did not utterly fail him when
questioned concerning bonds, dredging sup
niles. etc. This was the chief clerk of the Ne
nartment. and his testimony confirmed the
statements Of ex-Secretary Kemble in reference
to the procuring of supplies by COMMISSIONER
Matthews and Engineer Greene. Attempts
have been made to discredit kemble's state
ments and he was summarily dismissed-ap-
parently because he told too much truth though
on some points his ignorance was lamentabe.
n will be interesting now to observe whether
Chief Clerk Moon receives the same treatment
as Kemble at the hands of the Commissioners.
