The Sunday Law Cases.

The Sunday law has been repealed
in Iberville, so far Us the most
vaunted jury of twelve could do it.
Two cases were tried last Wednes-
day against Edgar Mark and II. B.
Gary, saloon keepers, for selling
liquors or Sunday. The law under
which they were tried has been de-
clared constitutional by the Supreme
Court, The fact of their violating
it was Acar'y established by unim-
peachablc evidence. The jury was
sworn to decide each case according
to the law and the evidence. They
returned a verdict Of mot gnilty."
This seems to be one of the cases
where public opinion is strong
enough to defeat the will of the
people as expressed by the legisla-
ture. One thing now is certain to
follow. and tlat is the repeal of the
present law, or its amendment in
anch manner as to give it the force
.of potlce regulation, IN Wh'ch
event there would be no jury 10
thwart the legislative will.-lber.

Reuters Contract Lapsed.

THO CONCESSION NOW OPEN TO COMPETITION OF
AMERICAN COMPANIES.
His excellency, the Persian minister to the
United States, yesterday received cablegram
dated Teheran, from the minister for foreign
affairs, informing the Persian minister that the
concessions which the Rueter company re-
ceived from the imperial Persian government
in 1872 for the construction of railroads in
Persia has lapsed because Baron Rueter failed
to carry out the contract in accordance with
the stipulated time, and his recent applica-
ton for a renewal Of the contract has been re-
jected by the imperial minister for foreign az
fairs
In this connection it may be well to state
that the concessions are now open to American
companies, and no doubt the Persian minister
will cheerfully give applicants all information
ON the important franchises proposed to be
granted.

Two Things Needed at the Receptions.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
1t must be admitted, think, that the recep-
ton last evening rendered to the judiciary and
invited guests by President Cleveland and Mrs.
Cleveland was one Of the most brilliant and
memorable in the history of the executive
mansion. Every one present must have been
gratifed at the dignifed bearing and yet
graceful welcome of Mrs. Cleveland. The
rooms were not, as too often happens, over
crowded. There are two reforms or additions,
however, that are sadly needed, in the interest
of the general public, as well as of the house
hold. First, the best system of electric light
ing should be at once substituted for gas
light; and the vestibule of the porte cochere
should be, on occasion of public reception at
deadly exposure and draughts when the weather
is inclement. CITIZEN.
