IngersolI on sunday Laws.


Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll arrived yes
terday from Helena, Mont, and stopped
at the Grand Pacific hotel for short rest
before proceeding to New York. He had
this to say about the American Sabbath
Union and its efforts to close the Worlds
fair on Sunday: 81 am against the Sab
bath day as observed by the churches, and
we want to destroy that Sabbath. 1t is a
pest day. These fellows like Patton, of
Princeton, want to close up everything on
Sunday, because that is the only way they
can drag people into their churches. am
In favor of Sabbath that will give recre-
alton and rest to the laborer and allow him
to develop his mind as he sees tit. What
do such men as Patton know about what
the workingman wants on Sunday? he is
q malicious donkey, and it isn't strange
that he should say that it was so much the
worst for the workingman if he didn't get
an opportunity on a weekday to see the
fair. These fellows have the impudence to
come to Chicago after they have been all
along belttling the fair in the East and de-
mand that the fair be run according to
their narrow-minded, bigoted notions"
