SUNDAY THEATRES.

The New York World has come out
flat-footed for Sunday theatres. The
fact IL does so on the grounds Of moral
ity and reform, will startle those who
on the same grounds are Mortified atthe
spectacle Of open Sunday theatres in
such wicked cities as St. Louis. Here
is the way the World puts it:
Young men especially, who dwell in dull
lodgings or boarding houses, young men
who have no home life, were left last even
ing without resiful occupation Tor thelr
leisure Some Of them passed the time IL
dull inactivity, some Of them IN much worse
WAYS. Both classes are the worse this
morning, mentally, morally and physicallA
because they had no proper occupation Tor
their Sunday evening.
Aud this happens ffty-two times every
year, simply because barbarous blue law
fOrbids the theatres OF the city TO ofer
agreeable and profitable entertainment on
the one evening Of the week when such en-
tertainment is most pressingly needed by
the greatest number OF people.
II is time for the Legislature 70 sweep
away this relic Of Puritanical intolerance.
Its existence is not only violation Of the
=
eminent and therefore wrong 10 them
dividual: IL is n direct incentive 10 evil. II
promotes immortality and encourages vice.
IL attempts young men 70 dissolute aSso-
Citations and vicious indulgences who would
know no such temptation II the reputable
theatres Of the town were open 20 them on
the one evening Of the week when they are
not weary with the days work, and when
recreation is most desirable.
Upon grounds Of morality alone, for the
sake Of keeping youth from temptation, the
moral sense Of the community should insist
upon reform in this matter.
Does the World forget that the
churches are open Sunday evening TO
all corners, and that a young man who
has nothing else to do could not find
better employment for his time than at
tending them?
No admission is charged at church
doors; the seats there are free and are
Just as comfortable as those costing
dollar or two in the theatres; the
church choirs furnish as good music as
the orchestras in the theatres; and d.
vine worship is certainly More elevating
than the drama.
The World should take up its dusty
bible aud turn TO that passage where it
says: Remember the Sabbath day to
keep It holy"

Several Organizations Ready to Split the
Industrial Conference Wide Open.
ST. LOUIS, February GA most Sc
rious split in the Industrial Conference
now in session here is threatened by the
oction of a large number OF Southern
delegates. At a caucus held during
last nightit became evident that many
Southerners were not in favor OF third
party action, holding that their seces-
sion from their old party, the Democratic,
would only strengthen the Republic
cans.
The logic Of this argument was con-
ceded by all, and before the caucus
closed ali Of the delegates from Georgia,
including Hon. L. T. Livingston, men,
Der of Congress from the Fifth Georgia
district and State President of the Al
lance announced that should the con-
ference determine on third party they
would withdraw from the body. -Four
of six Alabama delegates announced
that they would do likewise as 1t is also
stated will the delegates from Tennes-
see, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
and the President of the Mort Carolina
State Alliance.
II the split IN the southern oelesa-
tions is not sufficient to give the confer
ence more than it can handle, there are
a number of protesting delegations, rep
resenting national organizations, which
are knocking loudly for admission at
Music Hall door, and which threaten
second conference If barred out These
organizations which are not represented
on the credentials committee and which
have applied for representation in the
conference are the Reform Press Asso-
citation, Women's Alliance, United Or
der OF Anti-MonopolistS, Union Reform
Association, Central Nationalist, Farm
ers' League, Alliance, Assemblies of the
Industrial and many smaller organiza-
tions.
All have sent delegates and are pro-
testing loudly that they have complied
with all the conditions Of call for the
conference and should have had place
on the Credentials Committee, but
would be satisfied il they get their
representatives voice in the proceed
ings of the conference. II they do not

February %, states that General Enri-
quiz was killed to-day by body Of
Guatemalan soldiers, together with a
number of companions, near the city OF

claimed Dictator Of the Constitutional
party o. Guatemala, and had in cOnSe-
oucnce incurred the active hostility OF
President Barrillas, who alarmed the
public by announcing that General En-
riQuiz was at the head OF an insurrec-
ton directed against the present gov
eminent.
President Barrilas ordered General
Enriquiz to present himself TO the au-
thoritieS of Zacapa. General Enriquiz
proceeded at once toward that city ac-
companied by his two brothers and a
party Of friends. A company number
ing 100 soldiers lying in ambush on one
of the roads of the city, fired upon Gen
erGl Enriquiz and others Of his party,

FREE SHIPS.

Captain john GOODMAN, in breezy AZ
ticle in the North american RCCiClr, de-
clares that we shall have free ships;
that the House Of Representatives. will
pass a free ship bin; that the Senate
may acceptit; and he even goes so far
as TO say that the little man in the
Presidential chair may sign it.
II there is anything TO be learned
from the experience OF other countries,
this is the way 20 stimulate shipbuild-
Ing in the United States and TO restore
our carrying trade.
cat the outset" says Captain Con-
MAN, "when the iron steamship super
seeded the wooden sailing ship, the peo-
ple Of all nations. excepting our own,
who were forbidden to do 50, went to
England for their ships; and now, not
only Germany, but France. Italy, Rus
STA. Spain Brazil, and even japan and
China are building ships for themselves.
And from that era the carrying trade
Of all these nations has greatly in
creased, while ours has dwindled to al
most nothing"
- Free ships are a blessing which
American merchants lack, and have
baen in despsrats need Tor the last part

cldcd in favor Of jury, and the work
Of selecting one was at once begun.

MAs DEACON RIGHT

The Boston Post prints several inter-
esting letters anent the killing Of
ABEILLE by Mr.. DEACON, whose wife
the Frenchman had ruined. The cor
respouents take divergent views OF the
Of the tragedy. One says:
For the man who was vile enough to &C
Cept a friends hospitality and then ALLEVIATE
his wife, destroy his home aud ruin his
happiness, killing was too good for him.
Deacon did not iniliCt enough punishment;
he let the cur die too soon.
Another says:
In nv opinion, Mr.. Editor, Mr.. Deacon
did exactly the proper thing. When a
mans honor is asSailed, when he secs be-
fore his very eyes that his children's
mother has disgraced the name she bears,
when a trusted friend despoils his home
and disgraces mis- family, there is only one
thing 70 do, and that iS-RILL HIM. Let US
who read the story camly and dispaSsiOn-
atelv put ourselves in DeacOn's place.
What would we dol Would we say, "Go,
woman, go your own way.' Well, not
mUChl
The gentleman who wrote the fol-
lowing takes decidedly different view
Of the matter. He says:
A quiet separation is the usual and by
fan the better way, and why shouldn't
Deacon have pursued this course?
While il may be true that his wife was
false to him. still it does not necessarily
follow that he should stain his hand in
murder
Whileit NAV also be true that Abeille
disgraCed the name OF his friend, il is no
reason why his lie should pay tue forfeit.
Abeille could not have wrecked Dea-
cons home and happiness had not DeacOu's
wife been perfectly willing that he should
DO so, then why should AOeille be muir
deredi
There is neither sense nor reason in
DeacOu's shooting IL was the act OF
madman, and all calm, Clear-thinking peO-
pie will agree with me.
A man could never commit the crime
FOR which Mr.. ABEULE was murdered
without not only the full consent, but
the actual encouragement Of the woman
in the case. While ABEILLE merIted
his fate he merited no worse a one than
did Mrs. DEACON, and If injured hus-
bands aV 20 be allowed to take the law
into their own hands and administer
capital punishment in such cases, Mr..
DEACON had the right TO empty the re-
naming ISLANDERS Of his revolver into
Mrs. DEACoN's body.
The killing Of ABEuLE is fndefensi-
BILE on any grounds either Of morals or
evpediency. II may be excused as the act
of madman. II was not done for the
prevention Of wrong, nor was it done in
defense OF the right. 1t was simply an
act in punishment Of a wrong-doer; and
the world is now far enough removed
from Sayagery for everyone to know
tina. this is not the duty OF the individ-
ual wronged, but Of the community,
represented by the law.

effect that as party the Prohibition
lists could treat only with political
forces tina: declare for the same princi-
plies. This, Miss Willard explained,
does not in the least interfere with the
efforts being so earnestly put forth by
herself and othor Prohibitionists as in
dividuals to secure such declarations
from the industrial conference as may
serve as the basis OF future united po-
ltical action among labor reformers
aud temperance reformers. The con-
ference to-day, Miss Willard said, was
entirely harmonious and the resolution
was adopted with practical unanimity.

convention showed that they are work
ing for all that is in IL and the fact that
they are so well organized and can
afford 10 sQuander so much money on a
simple blowout is a warning to the
Democrats that they, also, must hustle
and organize. M0ye power 20 the Dis
trict League scheme! In every district
Democrats should hasten to organize
leagues such as that now being formed
