act law that nc liquor should be sold
in the city of Chicago or in the fair
grounds during the progress of the fair.
Such law would be plainly unconsti-
tutional. Congress said to the worlds
fair directors we will give you g, 900. 900
in souvenir coins provided the fair shall
not be opened on Sundays. Instead of
this, suppose it had made the gift un-
conditional and then passed a law pro-
hibiting the opening of the gates on
Sunday. The law would have been un-
constitutional. There is no difference
in principle between such law and q
condition attached to grant. Suppose
that Congress. instead of attaching to
its gift the condition that the fair should
not be open on Sundays, had attached n
condition that the city Of Chicago should
SO exercise Its police powers as prac-
tically to exclude portion of the votes
of it's Irish population in city and comfy
as well as federal elections. Such q
condition would have been plainly un-
constitutional, and in the opinion of tho
Journal the Sunday closing condition is
equally SO.

SUNDAY OPENING OF THE WORLDS FAIR.

ance will be some indication of popular
feeling on the subject. 1t is fair to as
sumo that the attendance will consist
entirely of those who favor Sunday
opening. including large number of
workingmen and women who cannot
visit the fair on any other day, and we
venture the assertion In advance that it
will be quiet. orderly crowd.
Whether the fair willbe open on future
Sundays remains to be seen. BY direc-
ton of the Attorney general, the United
States district attorney at Chicago filed
O bill for an injunction against Sunday
opening. and argument on the motion
will be heard during the week. There
are two points of law involved, viz:
First. whether Congress has any power
under the Constitution to prescribe a
rule of action for local corporation. or
ganized and acting under the laws of
Illinois; and, second. if the Sunday

was not broken and made of no force

THE CRISIS IN GERMANY,

The present indications point to the
defeat of the Emperor and his army bill
in the election of June 10. 1t was very
doubtful before the Center. or Roman
Catholic party, declared that it could
not sustain a measure which will make
Germany an armed camp in time of
peace. As the Emperor was depending
upon the Center to give him majority,
this early and decided declaration is re-
gaIded as settling the fate of the army
bill. The reasons which the Center
gives for its determination is that it is
not ready to impose fresh burdens upon
the German taxpayer without regard to
his ability to stagger under them. This
would be good reason to give in a
country where the people have rights
and where their interests are consulted.
but it must be exasperating to a
man who believes that people and king
doms were created solely for the use and
behoof of those who are kings by divine
right. There are further indications
that the Socialists, who are the advO-
Gates of popular government rather than
believers in tie theories of those who
are properly denominated Socialists, are
gaining strength, it being predicted that
that element will carry every city with
over 10O, 900 population. tits announced
that the Kaiser will find larger ma
jOrity against his bill in the coming
Reichstag than in the last. What makes
the situation critical is the declar alton
of the Kaiser that if the new Relchstag
should refuse to pass the army bill he
will carry it into effect in spite of its
opposition. This means that he will
make himself usurper. Backed by the
army. he may be able to do this, but all
such arbitrary action weakens the power
of absolutism with the people and af-
fords reason to the masses for q change.
The Germans are a most intelligent,
patriotic and hberty-loving people.
With them precedent and existing in
situations have great influences; never

A WEAKNESS SHARED BY BOTH SEXES.

1t is the season for congresses and
conventions and the meetings of asso-
Citations of all sorts. Men and women
assemble to discuss oil matters under
the sun which interest or concern them
directly or indirectly. Practical ques-
tions of business life, theories of every
variety. theology, philosophy, senti-
ment-all come up for consideration in
one way or another. No one mind can
follow oil the phases of thought brought
out in these discussions, but can only
grasp, here and there, at a salient point
in the whirlpool and let the rest sweep
by. There. for instance, was the ques-
tion of reform dress that was given
prominence in the woman's congress
last week. Indications are that the
press of the country failed to compre-
bend in its entirety the wide scope of
that gathering and the profound and
far-reaching purpose that animated its
projectors-in fact, the Journal is free
to confess that it doesn't know what it
was all about-but one thing that every
mothers son of an editor could under
stand was the ess-reform exhibit and
accompanying dissertations. If there is

Not one could imagine it, according to

behold! along comes a convention day
or so later, convention of men, which
spends a large part of its time in dis
cussing the cut of the masculine coat
and the proper style of wearing
the beard. Moreover, while the
question with the women was
merely one of utility and per-
sonal convenience, with the men
it involved religion and their very souls
salvation. The women were concerned
with the somewhat difficult problem of
keeping their skirts out of the mud and
at the same time protecting their ankles
from profane gaze, but the Dunkard
elders had the element of masculine
vanity. with it's consequent temptations,
to deal with. and took it up prayerfully
and sOlemDly. No grace was given to
the younger brethren whatever. They
could have no curling locks about their
brows. their hair must be parted sedate-
ly In the middle or combed straight
back. They could not wear the mus
tache, 80 beloved in it's proper place by
worldly youth of both sexes, and they
must model their coats after the ancient
members of the sect. If the paper en-
tirely manned" by women that Susan
Anthony wants established were under
way it might find this Dunkard conven-
ton foundation for innumer-
able witticisms and gibes at the
sex which has SO long arrogated
to itself the possession of mind far su-
perior to trivial considerations of clothes.
That paper would doubtless quote Mrs.
Poyser's celebrated remark to the effect
that if women are fools God made 'em
SO TO match the men. To the reflective
people who look upon their kind with
out prejudice toward any and feel no
need of class papers to express their
sentiments. these diverse congresses
and conventions will merely teach anew
the old lesson, namely, that men and
natural qualifications, and that both
can at times be very amusing without
meaning it in the least, and thereby do
much to brighten the way of their fell
low-beings through not always cheer
full world.

THE Seymour Journal thinks the Leg
islature should enact law holding the
county wherein a mob murder is COM
mitted, pecuniarily responsible to the
heirs in law of the victim. The sugges-
ton seems to be based on an idea that
men are more easily reached through
their pockets than through their sense
of justice. If such law were passed it
would never be enforced. Men who
have SO little respect for law as to wink
at lynching would not fine themselves
on account of it.

NEWSPAPERS AND HOBBIES.

Miss Susan B. Anthony is not news
paper woman, but she made speech
the other day before the women's
branch of the so-called press congress
in Chicago in which she expressed the
belief that women will not be truly
emancipated until they can make known
their views through newspapers of their
own. She hopes for the establishment
of a daily paper owned, edited and
managed entirely by women. which
shall urge the reforms now advocated
by women, and which shall be an ex-
ponent of the woman question" in its
ever varying phases. She holds that
although women are employed on nearly
all newspapers they are not per-
mitted freedom of speech and
find their efforts to promote any
distinctive feminine "cause" frowned
upon by unsympathetic men in control.
Miss Anthony evidently cherishes the
delusion entertained by many others
that the primary purpose of newspaper
is to circulate the views of some person,
or organization. or to advance some
cause. What il really is is q business
enterprise for the purpose of publishing
the news, and incidentally giving such
comments and conclusions on the events
of the times as may suggest themselves
to the persons in charge. What the
public wants is the news. and it is not
concerned in the least with the person
