The present indications are that the
Sabbath observance war is going to
wax considerably hotter than.it has yet
been. The druggists in the central
part of the city arc still firm in their
determination not to yield to the new
order OF things which the Sunday OBJ
serving people are seeking to establish,
and yesterday kept their places Of
business open as usual. Soda water
was sold to the thirsty in large quaint
ties, for the day was warm ana there
were many parched throats, Even the
smoker was not forbidden the luxury OF
his Havana, for cigars were sold as
freely as was the popular summer
beverage.
Mr.. Dony's agents we're abroad how
ever. and noted these violations of the
law, taking down the names of persons
who might be wanted as witnesses, and
it is safs to say that complaints will be
lodged before an alderman either today
or tomorrow. The druggists expect it.
but say that thew are not to be deferred
from supplying the wants of the
people by any action that may
be taken. Those who com.
planned of themselves before

paying the usual fine, and were after

Of the fact that there had been O prior
conviction in their cases. The point
raised is q mooted one and the decision
of the judges will be awaited with con.
siderable interest.
WHAT DR.. DoNY SAYS.
To O TRIBUNE reporter Mr.. Dony
said last night that the Sunday closing
movement ia receiving more opposi-
ton from the druggists than any other
class of offenders.
Over IS per cent. Of the druggists"
be said, ''are with us for Sabbath OBJ.
servation. The remainder who oppose
the movement are mostly located III the
central city. It matters not what
course they follow in trying to balk US,
we're in the fight to the bitter end
and shall make them pay fines until
SUCCESS is assured. However, there
may be an arrangement made this
week whereby they will be content to
cease secular business on the Lords
Day."
Regarding tina present status Of Sum
day observance Mr.. Dony was Of the
opinion that there has been a vast
change for the better which is appar.
ent to any who any who will take the
trouble to observe the matter. =,
The usual arrests will be made this
week, he said.
When asked what bearing the busi-
ness mems meeting with the executive
committee of the PASTORS union at the
Young Mems Christian association
would have on the policy of the move
ment, he said he could not state.

political atmosphere. The. nation had for
a generation been lettering on the brink
of civil war. The herculean efforts OF
Webster during his whole political career
were consecrated to the task of averting
civil war. Henry Clay, the compromiser,
by his ~eloquence and craftsmanship post
poned the civil war by almost o generation.
But war wasinevitable;it was the Golgatha
of American civilization. The war clouds
burst in terrible fury, and for four years
our country was baptised in blood. The
bitterness and hatred OF the anti-bellum
days are dying out; the North and the
South are clasping hands in Christian for
giveness and brotherhood, and every year
peace and unity are cementing the bonds
that clasp the sister states in one per-
manent and indivisible republic.
DEBT CAN NEVER BE REPAID.
To these veterans before us, TO their
living comrades all over the land, to their
slain comrades this nation owes a debt of
gratitude it can never pay.
AS we gather on Memorial day to strew
their graves with flowers let us remember
that we owe to their memory the gratitude
Of loving and loyal hearts, and that we
can in no better way emulate their patriot
ism than in living nobly for the country
for which they so nobly died. Let us look
up through our tears for these fallen heroes
with a prayer to Almighty God to protect
our united and peaceful country.
Except the Lord build the house they
labor in vain who build it.n
