THE BLUE LAWS AGAIN.


The burning of witches in the New
England states, the Imprisonment of men
for kissing their wives on Sunday, the
penalty imposed upon one who did not
attend church and who feigned to smile
on the Sabbath day in Old Massachu-
sets in the good old days when Calvin
ism and torture were at their height, have
found their prototype in the Blue Laws
which are in force in Durham to day.
Through the city of Durham each Sun
day there pass dozens of trains of cars.
In the city of Durham each Sunday
there is no livery stable but what lets out
all its "rigs"-for hire to the livery man,
for pleasure to the one who gets them.
In the city of Durham each Sunday
there is no hotel which does not run and
which does not furnish if wanted and
paid for, ice cream, ices and fruits, and
there is no complaint.
In the city of Durham each Sunday
there is no restaurant which does not
sell all sorts and kinds Of things to eat
and drink (intoxicants not i~ncluded) and
there has been but one arrest in several
months.
In the city of Durham each and every
Sunday men and boys gamble at the
game Of cards, and the arrests are few
and far between.
In the city of Durham each Sunday
whiskey can be bought, has been bought
and is bought. And when was it that a
whiskey seller has been fined for violat,
ing the law
In the city of Durham each and every
Sunday any man, if he be ION to he
ropes,'' can get cigars, tobacco or any.
thing else at many places in the town and
the man who sells them is never molested.
There are in the city of Durham each
Sunday hundreds of pounds Of ice sold,
and no one raises a holy kick.
But DIR. JOHNSON, a gentlemen who
has pinned his faith to Durham; a man
who, with brick and mortar, has erected
a monument to his enterprise, sells to a
man on Sunday "a wayfaring man with
his tongue dry and nowhere to quench
his thirst, because there is no decent city
water, a glass of medicine-and he is
hauled before MAYOR PEAY and fined
$50 for his transglession.
These ideas, as we understand it, were
the ideas of those who burned witches,
and are the same as those of to day-the
Blue Laws of the sorry crowd which
attends, with much piety, their religious
meetings at home, and which gets drunk
add raises hell when away from home.
1t is a hummer!

This seems, alas, too true.
a Good Sermon.

We suppose that our Montana cOntem.
porary, the Anaconda Standard, has "per-
petrated a joke" in saying that a sermon
was preached at the funeral Of a fayorite
monkey which recently died in Butte
City. There is more than humOr in the
sermon, however. The gist of it is that
JockO knew nothing of religion, yet
"sized up pretty we'll with mankind" and
lived a more virtunus life than most of
the people of Butte. Gle was never
taught how to do right, but he seemed to
do better than most people you meet"
He lived in content, never killed any
body, did not take on airs, was well-dis.
posed toward everybody, was of gener-
Gus nature, was not a hypocrite, drank
no whiskey, and never forgot or betrayed
a friend. How unlike the people of
Butte! Jocko was nor of a man than
the Rev. Mr.. Rounder, more of a saint
than the deacon who pays the highest
pew rent, more ready to do a good deed
than the bloated millionaire who owns
the biggest mine. The old prophet Of
Jerusalem said that a man is better than
a beast, but here is the body of a beast
who was more meritoriOus than most
white men in the Stubtoe State. II admit
that lie would steal whenever he got a
chance, but he did not know that stealing
is sinful, and he never stole any more
than he needed"
Whether or not the sermon thus sum-
married. was preached in Butte City at
the monkeys funeral, it is solid in some
of its parts.
