THE AMERICAN SUNDAY.


OF course we all understand that the
protesting Christians of the Continent
of Europe, notably in Germany, France
and Austria observe the Christian
Sabbath in more liberal spirit than
in England and Scotland.
Our New England Sabbath is sub
stantially the English Sabbath. But in
the wide West, it is the Continental
Sabbath, which means church in the
morning and recreation and amuse-
ment in the afternoon.
The New York Post, which is not
orthodox to any alarming extent, un-
dertakes to defend the true American
Sabbath, in the following terse way:
"We have developed during the past
quarter of 3 century an American"
Sunday, which is based upon the prin-
ciple laid down in the declaration of in.
dependence, that all men are endowed
with an "inalienable right to the pur-
suit of happiness"-on every day of the
week. A contrary rule has, until
comparatively. recent time, prevailed
in the greater part of the country--a
rule which forbade the pursuit of hap
piness on Sunday unless one, could get
it at church or reading religious books
at home; but there was never anything
American" about this rule. 1t was a
servile imitation of England, the adop-
ton of theory about the day which
finds no support in the life Of the
founder of Christianity or in the prac-
tice of the Christian church outside of
Great Britain. So far from its being
"un-American" to advocate the pursuit
of happiness on Sunday, it is the very
embodiment of the principle upon
which the American system is based"

TALMAGE ON SUNDAY OPENING.

"What is your opinion of the Sunday
opening question ?" said Worlds Fail
reporter to Dewitt Talmage, the emf.
nent divine, who expressed himself
when the matter was early broached, as
favoring open gates and Sunday ser
vices. In reply DR.. Talmage said.
my opinion is that at the present
time anything said on either side of the
subject will only be an irritation. The
whole subject has been so thoroughly
discussed by the public and by the press
that anything added now, instead of
leading to a right decision will only be
a further Inflammation of the public
mind. The whole question will be de-
cided by legal authorities, and my only
apprehension has been that there might
be conflict between city and national
government, but 1 belieYe, from the
character of the men who have this
whole matter in charge, that right
decision will be arrived at. There has
come an acerbity and bitterness into
this controversy which l deplore.
When people get swearing mad on
either side of this subject they had bet
ter shut up"

NATURE seems to have given the
Mexican an infinite variety of material
with which to brew the drink of devils
Nearly every plant in the country pro-
duces destructive drink, as exhibited
in the Mexican department of the
Worlds Fair. Some of the liquors are
like pure alchohol, others of the color
and consistency of cream. All are
active intoxlcants, of which the brandy
from the mesziute plant, tasting like
American whisky and harboring as
many demons, is the worst. There is a
famous liquor known as teguila, also
extracts from orange, lemon, apple, pear
and peach, Pulque, the every day
Mexican drink, would not keep and
only specimens of the plant are shown.

nounced that ruling privately when II
came out and told my friends and as
sociates in the Grand Army that it was
calculated to discredit the old soldier
class all over the country with the
people more than anything which could
have occurred for years. 1 said then
that if ne had foundation in law for
his ruling, the quicker a law could be
passed to make it illegal the better it
would be for the old soldiers"
The difference between Tanner and
Raum seems to have been that Tanner,
who lost both legs in the war, wanted
to pay out the surplus to the men who
did the lighting at the front, while
Raum's policy was to pay it out to the
men who did the political fighting
since the war. The Harrison adminis-
tration stood by the politicians.

The effect of Sunday visits at the
fair, the fanatics have declared, will be
to increase hours of labor. Facts often
come into incorporating collision
with theories. The milkmen Of Chi
cago resolved some time ago that they
would deliver milk only Sunday morn
ing; they have been going to the fair
Sunday afternoon. Now they serve
notice that they want Thursday after
noon as well as Sunday afternoon, and
the grocers and butchers have dete4m-
ined to follow their example. People
who have received the announcement
that trades in these lines is to be sus-
pended Thursday afternoons during
the fair know perfectly well that this is
one of the effects Of the open Sunday.
1t has decreased the hours of labor for
three large lines. Unfortunately there
are still larger lines of industries that
cannot secure any secular afternoon to
90 TO Jackson park. For these tens OF
thousands Sunday alone is practicable
and only cruelty and narrowness would

"No electric, cable OF horse railroad
shall hereafter be constructed across
the tracks of q steam railroad at grade;
nor shall any steam railroad cross any
such electric, cable or horse railroad at
grade, except upon application and ap.-.
proval by the railroad commissioners"
The semicolon in the above para
graph, which was typographical error
in printing the law, is making no end
of trouble in Connecticut, The result
is that while steam roads can cross sur
face lines at will with the permission
of the railroad commissioners, streets
and electric roads are barred from
crossing steam roads with or without
permission.

HOW THEY WILL VOTE.

The New York World continues its
interviews with Congressman as to
how they will vote on the Sherman bill
and other questions. Here are ex-
pressions from two Ohio Democratic
Congressman:
George w. Hauk of Third Ohio Dis
trict, says: favor the repeal of the
Sherman silver law because its prac-
tical results have proved injurious"
F.C. Layton, Fourth Ohio District
says: ~ favor the repeal of the Sher-
man silver law and want some legisla-
ture in lieu thereof that will insure the
continuance and preservation of BIZ
metalism on fair and reasonable
ratio"

THREE bad laws are the bane of the
time, the Mckinley tariff, the Sherman
silver law and the Gearey anti-Chinese
act. They all bear the signature of a
Republican president. Every one of
them would have been vetoed by a
Democratic executive like Cleveland.
They have all brought reproach and
injury to the country. The presence Of
a man in the White House who is
against those laws, who will moderate
their effect 80 far as he rightly can,
until they are repealed, and who will
strive for their repeal, is a reassuring
fact to the people.-Brooklyn Eagle.

KING OF THE WASHINGTON LOBBY


Jame b. Norwood, Washington corr
respondent of the Cleveland Leader,
gives pen portrait of once notable
Republican washington lobbyist In the
following:
"Sam Ward, the brother of Julia
Ward Howe, and the uncle of +. Marion
Crawford, died in Italy ten years ago,
perhaps. For almost a generation he
was the "king of the Washington lobby
He came from good family and he
was an educated man. He had tray
elled all over the world, and could speak
French and German, and could read
Greek poetry. His father, who was a
New York banker, twas bankrupt
when he died. Meanwhile Sam was an
international spendthrift. He went to
California, where he made fortune
and then ate it up, Soon thereafter he
came to Washington, and here he re-
NAMED He was short, stout, bald
headed man, cook, an epicure, fine
gentleman, and a superficial student
who dazzled men by quoting poetry,
and telling stories about authors who
had been forgotten. He had met and
talked with Gladstone, with Bismarck,
with Victor Hugo, with the Gar of
Russia, with Cardinal Newman, with
Renan, the French infldel, with Charles
Darwin, with the Prince of Wales, and
all .the gay women of Europe. His
method was to prepare an elaborate
dinner for members of Congress, to set
before them fine wines in great quaint
tiles and to make them drunk and con-
fidential."

ANEcDoTE OF CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER

Chief Justice Fuller showed remark.
able analytical acumen even when a
boy. He belonged to debating club
in Oldtown, Me-, and one evening the
subject was "Capital Punishment"
The deacon of the church and two
clergymen were for hanging. Young
Fuller was opposed, Said the deacon,
Quoting from the Mosaic law: "Whoso
sheddeth mans blood, by man his blood
shall be she'd" Thinking this to be a
bombshell to his opponents, he dwelt
upon it till his time had expired, when
the boy sprang to his feet and said:
"Supposing we take the law which
the gentleman has quoted and see what
the logical deduction would come to.
For example, one man kills another;
another man kills him, and so on until
we come to the last man on earth.
Who's going to kill him? He dare not
commit suicide, for the law forbids it.
Now, Deacon" continued the boy,
"what are you going to do with the last
man."
The boys logic called out rounds of
applause and Vanquished the deacon,

OTToCAR ADERKAs, representing the
Russian government at the Worlds
Fair, said in his address before the
moral and social reform Congress that
national philanthropy was making
great strides in his own country. A
striking proof of practical charity, he
said, was given by the American people
last year when, after poor harvest in
Russia, ships laden with corn were sent
to the northern shores of the Baltic to
alleviate the suffering of the starving
people. AS token of gratitude for
such assistance the institutions of EN-
press Marie had sent an exhibit to the
Worlds Fair, representing the work of
the people in the various
institutes, and at the close of the expo
sition the exhibit will be divided among
American charitable institutions. 1a

ALLthe Congressman agree that there
is hard fight ahead on the silver ques-
tion. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, says
that the Sherman silver law cannot be

silver coinage measure is substituted.
Congressman Raynor, of Maryland,
thinks that the repeal can be forced
through the House, but fears a pro-
tracted struggle which may after all
prove fruitless.

FIVE KINDS OF MONEY.


The United States has five kinds oi
money, some of which is a legal tender
for all debts, public and private and
some of which stands for nothing but
John Sherman's piled up silver bullion.
Assistant Treasurer Bailey, when
questioned by a Cincinnati Tribune
reporter thus described our variegated
money and its functions:
THAT'S United States treasury note
or greenback, the governments note of
hand, legal tender at its face value in
payment of all debts-all means all,
don't it?-public and private, except
when otherwise expressly stipulated in
the contract. That is to say, the gov
ernment sometimes makes a contract
to pay in gold, but if not then this note
is legal tender for all purposes. Here
is $50 gold certificate. That repre-
sents twenty gold dollars deposited in
the United States treasury. Gold can
not be legally paid out for any other
form of paper money, The silver Ger
tificate represents so many dollars de-
posted in the treasury. Gold cannot
be claimed uponit. The coin certificate
is not, as many think, payable in gold
or silver. 1t represents the silver
coined each month, under the Sherman
bullion purchase act of 1891; and is pay
able only in silver. If gold were de-
manded for il / should be obliged to
refuse. The fifth kind of paper money
is the national bank note. 1t displaced
the old state bank notes, and is secured
by United States bonds purchased by
the bank issuing it and deposited with
the United States treasurer, IL is legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
except interest on the public debt and
customs duties. All these moneys are,
| believe, coined in all denominations,
from 81 up, except the gold certificate
which is not issued for sums under 800"
