6undaYa at the Fair

Il is probable that nothing new will be
presented in the arguments that are now
being made before the House committee on
the Columbian fair on the question of OPEN
ing the fair on Sundays. The question has
been so thoroughly gone over that there is
really nothing new to be said.
1t is impossible to predict what the report
OF the committee will be, but it is not i'm
probable that il will offer compromise Of
some sort. The management of the fair is
bent on having the fair opened on Sundays,
mainly because the gate receipts are certain
to be large on those days.
The chief thing those who oppose Sunday
opening are contending for is to have
the religious character of Sunday formally
recognized. They do not seem to think that
people who would visit the fair on Sundays
would have any less respect for the day or
for the Christian religion. They consider tt
would be q great thing TO have the whole
world understand that the American people
have such regard for Sunday that they
would not consent to have the fair open to
visitors on that day.
As matter Of fact the closing OF the fair
on Sundays would DO more harm han good
Not one-tenth Of the visitors who would he
in Chicago during the fair would attend
religious services on Sundays if the fair
were closed on those days. and Chicago
churches could not accommodate them if
they wanted to attend. A very large por-
ton OF them would spend the day at places
Of amusements, in the beer gardens and sa-
looms. From the standpoint of morality,
therefore, it would be advisable to open the
fair on Sundays.
But it cannot be denied that the closing
of the fair on Sundays would nave a tre-
mendous moral effect, not only in this, but
ell other civilized countries.
Il is probable that if compromise Is
favored by the House committee it will be
that the fair shall be opened portion OF
the day on Sundays.

South oarolina,s Messenger

Is it legal for a citizen of one state to act
as the messenger of the electoral college Of
another state. Col T. L. CAN'T, of Georgia,
was recently selected to serve in that
capacity for the electoral college of the
state of South Carolina, notwithstanding
the fact that the constitution under au-
thority Of which the electoral college met
at Columbia and cast its ballot provides
that the messenger must be a resident Of
the state for which he acts. Col. CAN'T, it
Is claimed, is only a temporary resident Of
South Carolina and retains his citizenship
in Georgia. He took a leading part in the
recent campaign, on the winning side as be-
tween the democratic factions, and this
messengership was given him for his good
work. The amount Of money involved was
small of course, but IL gave the colonel an
opportunity to take little vacation, ex-
penses paid, which was probably very agree
able TO him after several months Of hard
labor at the editorial desk.
In the legal aspect Of Gantt's messenger
ship. however q serious question ls involved
If the recent election had been close-it tie
result had depended on South Cardinals
vote-the republicans would, very probably,
continue in charge Of the government after
March 4, next, for South Cardinals vote
might be held as illegally delivered aud
finally thrown out. The Washington Post

President instead of Hayes.
1t is a very coed ideo for South Carolina
to work in" Georgian every time the
opportunity Is presented, but it is some
times dangerous to monkey" with the
constitution.

Savannah's attainment Of picturesque

shaded beauty in her physical autonomy.
And q number Of them on Bull street her

The Upexpected Bannened.

An hour or two before his death
Gen Butler thought death was a long way
from him. he bad been attending to his
business affairs throughout the day, and
was particularly strong mentally and
physically for man Of his age. He had
been at the treasury department for several
hours discussing matter of considerable
Importance and did not reach his home
until late in the afternoon. He sat up until
II O'Clock, talking with his family. Just
before he retired the subject of Mr.. Blaine's
illness came up. and he said he thought it
was a dreadful thing to hang between life
and death SO long, and that he hoped when
his time came be would pass away quickly
and without pain. "Blaine," he said,
'may outlive some Of U.S." In response TO
remark that it did not seem probable that
Mr.. Blaine would outlive the general
judging from the lstters appearance, he
said, "You cannot tell"
In less than three hours from that time
Gen. Butler was dead. The fatal illness at
tackled him soon after he retired to his bed,
and painless death came with startling
quietness
He would have died at the time he did
and bis death would have been quick md
painless, even IL he had not expressed a
wish for such death, or suggested
doubt that Mr.. Blaine would
precede MIN to the grave, but it will hardly
be denied that it was rather remarkable
that he should have died SO suddenly after
his conversation in respect to MIR. Blaine
and should have had the kind of death for
which he wished.

policy will be If reelected. It will be. in
the main, the policy be has pursued during
the term that is Low nearly at an end. IL is
q policy that is very generally approved.
II the real sentiments of the people could
be learned it would be found that nine
tenths Of them are in favor of having the
saloons closed tightly on Sundays. not be-
cause OF any particular hostility 70 the
SALOONS, but because the closing of them on
those days iusures two things. One is more
comforts in the homes Of hundred OF work
men and the other is the Observance of
the laws against drunkenness. disturbances
of the peace and crimes Of violence.
When the saloons are open on Sundays a
large percentage Of idle workmen spend a
great portion of their weeks wages in them.
They drink more than is good for them and
are then in a condition to break the peace
and commit offenses against the laws
If the saloons are closed on Sundays. the
temptation 70 drink 10 excess is removed +,
and woYkmen are in a condition TO do full
days work on Mondays. Their families get
the full benefit of their wages.
And the great majority OF the saloon
keepers would rather close their places on
Sundays than keep them open. But If
some are permitted to violate the law others
will do so through fear Of losing regular
week day customers
No one will say that the strict enforce
ment Of the law against the selling of in
toxicating liquors on Sundays has not been
productive Of great good aud there are few
who will say they are against the enforce
ment OF that law. Indeed, about every
body that feels an interest in Savannah and
the welfare of her people want 1t enforced.

They must raise some queer legislative
geniuses up in New y ork state-some
quite as unique as any that ever electrified
the Georgia legislature. A New York
senator has introduced a bill providing for
the admission TO the bar without examine
ton of any person who has served seven
years in the legislature. There is an opinion
abroad that little more than the ordinary
amount Of brain force, a comprehensive
education and character above reprosch
are prerequisites TO admission to the bar.
But man lacking in all OF these may be-
come a member Of the New York legisla-
ture. II this Solon's proposition should be-
come law all a man would have 20 do to be-
come full-hedged legal light would be 10
make himself solid with "the boys" and get
them 20 send him 70 Albany for awhile.
That would be very much easier than to
study Blackstone, Coke aud Chitty for
years. But the easiest way Of doing things
IS not always the best, and lawyers created
by enactment would probably turn out TO
be the most ordinary kind of shysters.
