Vote on the Sunday Opening.

Last Saturday this paper took the
position against opening the Co
lumbar Exposition on Sundays.
1t did so on religious grounds,
with no attempt to pander to the
demands of certain people of broad
views, whose IDEAS on these ques-
tions are 50 extended that duty to
God and reverence for His works
and ways are excluded from the
vision, and it requires very impress
slve language on the part of these
worshlppeTs TO induce ore to be-
lleve that they have any very pro
nounced views on religion at all.
We attempted no compromise,
made no excuse to the worldly
minded at all, but came out and
declared that we were in favor of
closing the Worlds Fair on the
Sabbath, because we thought it
but proper that we should show
respect to the Creator by closing
these places Of amusement on His
hallowed day. And in order to
ascertain the minds of the people
generally on the subject, we pro
posed holding an election through
our paper, and let every one over
Il years of age to cast ballot for
or against it. To date we have re-
ceivei several votes against, none
for, opening. One of these was
from a good Baptist brother in
Arcadia, who declared that him
self, mother-in-law Jagged SO. hired

ing eight persons, were in favor of |

necessary this present week to re

prevent such a marriage, and now
while the occurrence is fresh in the
minds of our Legislators 1T would
be an opportune moment to pass
an enactment against misalliances.
Then there is another very i'm

gage the careful attention of our

pulsory working ont of fines by
convicts of penalties for INSIDE

get their clothiers at work on similar pro
