SUNDAY THEATERS.

There is a good deal of feellngI IN some
circles of st. Paul over the opening of
the Metropolitan opera house for
Sunday evening performances. The
Peoples theater used to be open every
night in the week and tie Grand opera
house has been ever since it was built.
Neither of these modern instances,
however, seems to have excited much
comment. But this last experiment in
this direction is viewed in many quarters
with very pronounced disfavor.
The arguments against Sunday even
ing performances at our theaters are, of
course, largely sentimental, but they do
not deserve less consideration on this
account. 1t may be said, therefore, for
the information of those who do not
know it, that very large proportion of
native-bOrn Americans have been edu
Gated TO observe Sabbath which eX-
tended from Saturday night at u
O'Clock TO the corresponding hour on
Sunday night. During this time they
abstain themselves from public amuse-
ments and expect other people to do the
same thing. Exactly what things are
violations of the Sabbath and what
things are not. it is not altogether easy
to tell, but Sunday theater-goIng, it may
be safely said, does not come within the
list of permissible pleasures.
This way of looking at things is
neither exactly religious nor exactly
ethical in its character. 1t is, as has
been said, sentimental. Some very
religious people and some very moral
ones, whose training has been different,
go to the opera ana the theater On the
Sabbath without doing violence to their
consciences. But those who have been
taught otherwise do not approve of the
custom for themselves and object very
strenuously to other peoples having
an opportunity to indulge in it. They
constitute very important and influ-
ential element in our city. and if their
feelings are to be respected and are to
be the guide in such matters, the Metro
politan opera house is at fault in its
new departure.
The GLOBE does not assume to be the
arbiter in such disputes, but it suggests
that there are great many worthy men
and women i'll st. Paul who feel no such
objection to public entertainments on
Sunday, and who, even if there were no
theaters open, would uot spend the day
III the observance of religious services
after the method of the Christian
church. Their feelings are just as
much gratifed by resource like this
being made available for them aa those
of different way of thinking are hurt
by it, and unless there is some great
principle at stake, it is difficult to de-
eide between them. If they are chal-
lenged they say that Sunday night is a
period of idleness, during which our
floating population who live in hotels.
and others who have no homes or do
mestic opportunities, are exposed to
temptations of one sort and another. 1t
would undoubtedly be better for them
to take advantage of other means of
spending their time, but if they will
not, people who argue this way claim
that theatrical performance is much
freer from Objectionable features than a
good many other pastimes which are
sometimes reS0rted TO under such cir
cumstanceS.

THE RIPPER MYSTERY.
New York Policemen. Continue to
Make Arrests


NEW YORK, April 26.-There seems
at last to be no doubt but that the old
woman killed by the supposed Jack
the Ripper" was Carrie Brown. A re-
tail grocer, John F. Flower. in whose
family she worked two years ago, identi-
fed the body. She told him she was
born III Canada and married a sea cap
tain named Charles Brown. Two
women employed in Bellevue hospital
also identified the body. Another ar
rest has been made that tallieS with the
description of the supposed Jack the
Ripper. Two policemen found the man
in City Hall park to-day. He wore
sand-eolored coat and blue trousers,
and, If anything, was scarcely shabby
enough for the companion of the de-
graded victim at the slum lodging house
that fatal night. The Ripper is said to
have worn shabby blue coat. The
man, whose name is said to be Henry
Young, was examined at the
Oak street station. confronted
with "Frenchy's" cousin and later

electoral votes, or one more than Indiana.
The Democrats have just carried Iowa
for the second time in succession, re-
electing their entire ticket on the largest
vote ever cast in the State. They have
carried Montana in six of the seven elec-
tions since 1880. These States, are, from
the present outlook, more doubtful for
the Republicans next year than Indiana
is for the Democrats.
There are other points Of weakness in
the Republican column. Connecticut
has given Democratic pluralties in the
last five elections. Henry Cabot Lodge
told the Republicans of Massachusetts
plainly after the second election of Rus
SELL this year, that they must fight for
the State" next year New Hampshire
gave 1,50O Democratic majority for De-
mocratic Representatives last year, and
only 50 plurality for the Republican
Governor. The State has secret-ballot
law which will help the Democrats, and
the Republican party is rent by a faction
al feud. Rhode Island gave a Demo-
cratic plurality of l,600 for Representa-
tives last year, and has given a Demo-
cratic plurality for Governor for three
years in succession. Wisconsin is by no
means safely Republican. 1t elected a
Democratic Governor last year by 2S, 900
plurality, and gave Democratic plu-
rality of 80, 900 on Congressman. Illinois
elected Democratic Treasurer by 9,S47
plurality last year, and gave Demo-
cratic plurality of 81 900 on Congress-
men.

are the Republicans to VIM Y.
