You have met this kind Of man. he
was standing at Ninsteenth and Market
streets waiting for the down town cleo
trio car. He grumbled a good deal at its
hardness and his swearing created an
atmosphere OF sulphur which prevented
him from seeing the car when it did
pass. he remarked to bystander that
the line was very slow and the company
showed little enterprise in such methods
When the bystander told him that the
car had just gone by he did not believe
Il, but the coming OF car which must
have passed the downtown car on the
switch at Sixteenth and Market streets
proved that the bystander was right.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


common cGNH- ana the EA&U0hhs
New York Sun.
The presentment of the grand jury In
regard to ths opening Of liquor saloons
en- Sunday is good common sense. Any
body not an incorrigible fanatic or hope
lessly blind TO the facts knows that most
of the liquor saloons Of the town, outside
of the down town business district, are
open ia violation of law The excise law
is not enforced In the matter Of Sunday
closing because 1t cannot be enforced.
There is not sufficient public opin-
ion ia favor of It's enforcement.
Sunday is the great day of
leisure and amusement for the majority
Of the people of this city. A large Pro-
portion of them are in the habit of
drinking beer at their meals, and how
ever reprehensible the custom of drink
ing at meals may be considered By those
who do not practice it. those who do can
not be compelled to 90 without their
beer on Sunday They want 1t as much as
they want their focd, and a law which
tries to prevent them is regarded by
them either as piece Of burlesque or D
piece of tyranny. There isno use reason
ing with these persons or in abusing
them. Their ideas in regard te the use
Of intox cants cannot be made to conform
TO the Kansas or Iowa standard They
form a majority OF the population Of
the city Of New York II they
could make an excise law iG would allow
saloons to open on Sundays The gentle
men from the rural districts, whose wis
dom in making laws for this town is so
well known, choose TO make an excise law
which cannoG be enforced here. II offers
to the police tempting opportunities for
corruption which some of them are not
able TO resist: and it tends to bring dis
RI pute upon all law The rational thing
TO do Is to repeal the Sunday closing pro-
vision of the excise law, and allow the
saloons to DO open, with certain restric
tions and during certain hours on sun
day. Until this concession to the habits
Of a great part Of the population Of New
York Is made, the saloons will continue
TO do an illegal business on Sunday.

Intelligent Tarln study.

Philadelphia Times.
The tariff is now more generally and
more earnestly studied and discussed by
the masses Of the people than ever be-
fore in the history of our government
and scrupulously accurate presentations
OF the detailed provisions of the tariff
laws are now Of uncommon public in
terest. One Of the serious obstacles
TO correct understanding Of
the tariff is the studied partisan
perversion Of both the often com
plicated provisions of the tariff law
and the effect OF those provisions upon
our varied industries The most exhaus
tive and instructive tariff document in
brief space is one prepared by j. Alex
Linquist and just issued by the Reform
Club, 80 William street, New York.
There is not line Of theory or deduction
or argument in the entire 50 pages of
the pamphlet except such arguments as
the actual figures Of the tariff Of 1888
the Mills bill and the tariff of 1890. ri
