the buyers Of our city are thus brought to-

The Basis Of Our sunday Laws

A foreign population Of a very low charac
ter come into New York, bringing with them
some very Objectionable customs and habits
They become a large portion Of the conmu
nifty, settling in districts by themselves. Are
we to indorse their customs and habits, how
ever detrimental they may be to the public
welfare In all common sense these peo-
pie must give up their harmful customs and
conform to the American standard Laws
made for that purpose are not to be consid-
cred tyranuical, but reasonable. A local
opposition must yield TO the general will.
Our Sunday laws belong to this category.
The American people have from the start
enjoyed a quiet Sunday, and they have found
thrift and comfort by it. They will not give
up the day to noise and riot, and foreigners
cannot come here and destroy this day OF
refreshing and rest. Our laws protect US IN
it, and they who come 10 enjoy our pros
perity must trust US in maintaining this
important element of it. II is no law for
religion but for social order and refreshment.
It only teaches religion by giving the relig-
ious majority, who keep the day religiously,
a quiet day It is also a hazardous thing to
haye the saloons open on any day when the
people have nothing to do. The temptation
is too great to drink to excess and promote
public disorder. These are the solid bases
Of the Sunday laws and all true Americans
understand and appreciate then wisdom

We know Of no medicine that has so many
testimonials to its efficiency as S. S. s., the
great blood purifier Many Of the best known
people in the country certify to the mar
vellous results it has wrought in the various
forms Of disease for which 1t is recon-
mended. These testimonials come not alone
from persons who liaye been relieved ottheir
sufferings by s. S. s., but from people who
have witnessed the effects OF the medicine,
Predicting physicians druggists, pharmacists
lin fact all who have had an opportunity Of
observing the cures brought about BY this
great blood remedY-bear willing testimony
to its efficacy. In its field, which is wide
one, covering some Of the most serious all
ments Of humanity, S. s. S. has no rival.

GOVERNOR REYNOLDS has an oppor
tunity to rise above himself and his party
in selecting good and honest men to ACT
as Tax Collector and Comptroller. The
proper thing to do would be to appoint
the County Treasurer who is legislated
out Of Office by the Five Commissioners
bill. The E0e,y Egsai9g speaks as
follows upon this question
For the position of receiver Of taxes
and county treasurer, it would be both
graceful and proper on the part OF the
governor TO appoint the outgoing county
treasurer, provided he be qualified and
worthy. The bill aims to take the Office
out ,,f politics aud to make itsincumbent
4 purely fiscal agent; and in doing this it
necessarily legisiates the present county
treasurer out Of office. It does this not to
change the man but to change the sys-
TEN. Such being the case, if the man is
Of the right size to fit the new place he
has a strong claim upon il; a claimNWhich

The weight of pure silver In our
silver dollar has never been decreased

These were the legal coins our laws
referred To in the issue of all national
bonds sold during our war OF secession.
These were the coined dollars which
we promised to pay in the redemption
of our greenhacks. In 1860. in an act
passed to strengthen our public credit.
we find this clause: "The United
States solemnly pledges its faith to
make provision ut the earliest prac-
ticable period for the redemption of
United States notes in coin. In all
these laws the word gold is not used.
but 1t is always coin. We kept coin
ing these silver dollars, to limited
extent, all through the war, although
the silver In them was worth nearly
four per cent more than the gold in
