SUNDAY AMUsEMENTs.

The Christian women OF ST. Paul take
their stOutest weapon in hand when
they say that they are opposed to Sun
day theaters and Sunday base ball
games, not because Of the pleasure they
afford, but because of the work they en-
tail. Actors and base ball players are
entitled TO intervals OF rest. like every
body else; but, if the public demands
their appearance every day in the week,
how are they going TO get them? A
maA does not have to be Christian, or
even deiSt, to recognize the force of
this position. 1t appeals to every one
who knows what it is to be weary be-
cause his toll has been too hard. If
they stand on this ground, they will Sc
cure not only respectful hearing, as
they would anyhow, but the active en-
couragement and support of the serious
and tairminded.
Right here, in general, is the great ar
gument against Sunday amusements OF
every sort. In America the traditional
Sabbath is the Sabbath of England. 1t
is dreary enough day for him who has
none Of the qualifications of domesticity
and finds no pleasure in the services of
the church. But it Is an infinitely bet
ter day than the Sabbath Of continental
Europe. In Germany and France there
are distractions of one kind and another
to satisfy every one, no matter what his
tastes may be, but along with them goes
the ceaseless grind of work. The thea
terS and the race courses are open, but
so are the factories and the shops. The
gloom of the English day depresSes the
cheery, and its idleneSS and stupidity
give one no refre5hment. But any
gloom is to be preferred to the bright
ness which is paid for by the CALLING
harness of work.
What we are trying to do in the West
is to have Sabbath in which pleasures
will be available. as they are OH the con-
tlnent OF Europe, but in which men may
rest from their labor. Is this possible?
That is the great question. The greed
Tor gain drives men to uninterrupted
effort. and no considerations of personal
welfare will induce them to desist for
one day in seven. The thing which has
closed the factories and the shops on
Sunday in England and America has
not been mems regard for their health,
but the sense of sanctity which has sur
rounded the day. If 1t is to be spent
generally in secular pleasures, this feel
ing will quickly cease to exist. When
it does, we shall have not only Sunday
amuSements, but Sunday work. The
slave who under the lash now spends
six days i'll monotonous toll for enough
tn Oi In
instead, because no adverse public
opinion will curb the rapacity of his
hirer
If this is likely to be the result. we
had better close the theaters on the Sab
bath and let our base ball pitchers rest
their arms.

THE CONTEST IN OHIO.

The Republicans of Ohio will nom
mate their gnbernatorial candidate in
less than a month, and it is entirely set
tied that WILLIAM MCKINLEY will be
the man. The Democratic nomination
will probably go to Gov. CAMPBELL,
and the most prominent issue in the
campaign will be the tariff.
Ohio is a Republican state, although
the Democracy carried it last time by
5000 majority. They had only the ridic-
ulouS FORAKER TO defeat, however, in
that contest, and were assisted by the
foolish charges of personal dishonesty
which he and MURAT HALsTEAD pre-
ferred against his opponent. Such
tactics excited the indignation of decent
men, and the victory was as much the
result of desire to rebuke them as to
put the Democracy in power.
Gov. CAMPBELL has not proved par
tlcnlarly successful executive. He has
quarreled with the leaders of his party
and has alienated large classes of citi-
Zens by the stand he has taken on local
questions. The Democratic legislature
went through the session safely and en-
oNlSO 1CIlCQldI WulCH
were needed and are popular. But it
elected CALVIN S. BRICE to the United
States senate, who, in addition to his
reputation as plutocrat, has only a
nominal residence in the state which he
has been chosen to represent.
The Democrats will contend against
the difficulties these things carry with
them. and against man of many ad-
mirable personal qualities and great
popularity. MCKINLEY's gallant fight
for congress against hopeless odds won
him many friends. and his connection
with the bill which is the chief object
of Republican devotion at the present
time gives him prominence, and will
rally the full strength of his party to
his support. 1t will be hard battle,
with the probabilities in favor of the
enemy, in spite of the error of their
views and the injustice of their cause.

WASHINGTON. May 27.- Secretary
Foster to-day enunciated a new line of
policy, holding that polygamiSts come
under the debarred class of immigrants,
and hereafter should not be allowed to
enter the United States. The case arose
on the landing in New York of Holyer
Petersen and wife, of Sweden. Hus-
band and wife were both held in Gus
tody by Immigrant Supt. Weber on the
ground that, being polygamists, they
came under the excluded classes The
case was referred to the treasury de-
partment, and Secretary Foster, after
consulting with Assistant Secretary
Nettleton and Solicitor Hepburn, de-
cided that they were polygamists, and.
being such, were excluded by the immi-
grafton laws from entering the United
States. The PetersenS are directed to
be returned to Sweden at once.

CANADA'S TRADE.
Figures on Imports and Exports
of the Dominion.

OTTAWA. Ont, May 27.-A careful
examination of the monthly statements
of the imports and exports prepared by
the customs department during the past
ten months and comparison with the
corresponding period last year, show
where the falling off in imports and the
increase Of exports have been brought
about. The importation of woolens has
fallen off to the extent of S1,1OO, 600
manufactures of iron and steel, $780,
600; provisions, 100000; silks, s40O, 900,
and spirits, 100000. There are
some noticeable increases in exports.
The products of the mines make better
showing than last year to the extent of
100000; fisheries increased S74O, 600;
animals and their products, $40, 900;
agricultural produce, S1,25O,O0O; manu-
factures, $450,0o0. There are in the
large items of decrease-forest prod
ucts, $2,000.000, due to the stagnation in
the lumber and timber trades, and coin
and bullion, 81, 100000. 1t is understood
that the government has decided to
grant rebate OH all sugars manu-
factured in Canada for export, which
will place the Canadian refner in the
same position as the American refiner
to trade in foreign markets. Canadian
refinerS are now pressing for a rebate
on sugar manufactured for domestic
purposes.

SOME ROYAL SPORT.
The Talent Was in Great Luck on
Gravesend Track.

GRAvEsEND, May 27.-The attend
ance here to-day was the smallest of the
meeting and did not number over $500
persons. This was due ina great meas
ure to the fact that the only stake event
on the card was selling one, and even
that did not promise anything great in
the way of contest. Those who did
make the Journey to the track were
fully repaid for their trouble and en-
joyed days good racing. The weather,
while trifle cool, was not unpleasant
and the track was in capital shape. On
the whole, the talent Jared we'll on the
day, as four fayoriteS and two
strongly backed second choices were
successful. The features of the days
racing were the easy manner in which
Tristan defeated Prince Royal, and
Longstreet's victory III the last race.
Money was literally poured in on Pes
sara, and he was sent to the post a
strong second choice, but at the end he
was not in it, and Longstreet won
grand race.

Kenwood and Tristan set the pace for
six furlongs. Then Kenwood fell back

Royal took second place and set sail
for Tristan, but he could not get up,

TENDENCIES THAT WAY.

1t is not apparent that the earlier and
rigid observance of Sunday, especially
such as was insisted upon in New En-
gland, is to return; but there are some
evidences that a check is to be had to
the tendencies to extend the avocations
of the week over the day, and allow no
interval for rest and recuperatlon. The
local effort to induce theaters to close
on that day promises to take on very
large and influential proportions. Rock
EFELIER, the head of the Stand
ard OIL company, has recently Or
dered that all the pumps in the Ohio oil
field shall remain idle on the Sabbath.
He holds that better results are secured
in the run of things by resting one day
in the seven. Perhaps he finds that
machinery is not entirely an exception
to the rule. 1t has been found that, in a
lengthy period, horse will travel more
miles or do more work in weeks of six
days than by taking no regular day of in
activity; but it has not been understood
that this applies to machinery. The
forces of nature have no cessation, but
locomotive life is constructed with this
requirement. Stage people generally
do not want to work more than six days
in the week. The nature OF their avoca-
ton seems to require that some classes
shall have their rest on some other day
such as preachers, doctors and base
ball players-though the mayor of Gin
cinnati, and some others, will not ex-
cept the last class. The present Ger
man emperor appears to favor less lati-
tude than has been had in that country.
He disapproves of horse races on Sun
days, and calls for the names OF officers
who participate in them. There is
much room for encouragement for the
ladies in their theater work.

CHARLESTON, AHoYI
Where Away Is That Elusive Craft,
the ltata?

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The navy de-
partlnent to-day received its first news
from the Charleston since she
left Acapulco, Mexico, in con-
tlnued pursuit of the Itata. When
the vessel failed to touch
at Panama within the time expected
the department said that it was very
probable it had been decided to keep
straight on down the coast, and that the
Charleston would first be heard from at
some Peruvian port. This prediction
is fulfilled, for the port at which the
Charleston announced her arrival
is Callao. The whereabouts of
the Itata are as far from be-
ing known as before the Charles
ton was heard from, for Capt. Remey,
her commander, reported that he had
seen nothing of the ltata on his cruise
down the coast. The Charlston will
join the squadron under Admiral Nc
Cam iii Chllian waters, and it is sur
missed that report will at no very dis
Tant date come thence announcing the
peaceful surrender by the insurgents or
the elusive craft, which the United
States government will libel and per
hapS forfeit for violation of our neutral
lty laws.

WAsHINGToN, May 81. = Commits
sioner Mitchell, of the patent office, has
rendered an opinion in which he re-
views the practice of the office in ue-

substantially that an interference should
not be declared between an unexpired
patent which shows and claims one
species OF an invention and a subse-
quent application disclosing another
and different species, but also
making claim of sufficient
scope to include the device claimed in
the unexpired patent. This decision
will effect an important modification of
the practice in the office in interference
cases. The commissioner has also rem
dered decision in which he holds that.
in the absence of fraud, decision of
the circuit court of the United States

Wallace says he will not oppose 1t. but
he bas telegraphed to President Allen,

Money Won Last Year at Chicago
Is Held by the Court.
CHICAGO, May 2T.-The race at
Washington Park last year for the
Hyde Park stakes, over which there is
a dispute and lawsuit, was brought to
mind again to-day by an order entered
by Judge Gresham. Thomas j. Clay
and Kinsea Stone were parties to the
suit, the Washington Park club filing a
bill of interpleader to determine the
ownership of the stakes. amounting to
S9.605. The club has held the money
until the true owner was decided upon.
Judge Gresham to-day ordered that
the club pay the money over
to the clerk of the court. The
club is allowed, however, TO hold in
custody forfeit orders amounting to
$3.50, and given leave to collect them
and hold the proceeds subject to the Or
der of the court. Clay and Stone are
also enjoined from beginning any action
at law against the club for the recovery
of any of the fund, and the court re-
serves to itself whether Stone is entitled
to any part of the fund, and says it is
not intended to bar Clay from prosecut-
ing an action to recover what share be
may be entitled to. The pleadings
show that the horse BalgoWar ran first
and Kingman second, but as Stone con-
tests the right of Clay to the first
money, it is ordered that Stone file Il
statement of his contention in five days,
and that Clay answer it in five days.
