The saloon-keepers of New Or
leans have organized to fight the
Sunday law and the law abiding peo-
of that city are combining forces to
establishing the supremacy of the
law. The Sunday law-is so unpopu-
lar that it is almost impossible to
enforce it in some parts of the
State. A statute giving each parish
the right to adopt Sunday law
would be eminently fair. If the
good folks of the pine woods Of
Sabine wish to have Sunday law
we are sure the people of Lafayette
or st. Martin would not, if they
could, deny them that pleasure, and
on the other hand we can not con-
ceive for what reason our austere
friends would care to force US to be
good by law. 1t is true we are
wicked. But then it is not in our
nature to be good. We can not
for the life of us i see wherein it is
sinful to- have little fun on Sunday.

The Supreme Courts Decision
Against the Income Tax,

Springfield Republican Und.)
The newspapers of the large cities, the
centers of wealth from which radiate
the great influences of wealth, with
very few exceptions, hail the
decision of the supreme court in the income
tax triumph of liberty and Justice
over an attempt to distribute some part of
also as rule treat the decision IS finality.
This is strangely overlooking the final source
of political power in the nation. The SUI
prene court, it needs hardly be said, is but
one of the branches of government estab-
lished by the people. What the will of the
people is in regard to the income tax has not
yet been determined. We only know that in
both houses of Congress the tax proved to be
perhaps the strongest feature of the tariff
law. Republican conventions were siynifi-
cantly silent about this act of an opposition
majority in Congress. If the tax was oslious
only a very few people appeared to think SO
istic the mass of the people represented in
these State conventions seemed to be
socialistically inclined. Laws in the end
will shape themselves agreeably to the senti
nent of the nlojority of the people. They
make great mistake who think to find in
the deciSaon OF the supreme court the final
word against tls. so-called socialistic tendcn-
cies the moment. The people, whether
for good or i'll, will speak that word. The
constitution of the United States as it has
been left by the incomc-tax decision of the
supreme court cannot safely be permitted to

reasons 70. amending it, IN the absence of

It is the general impression that
the president will appoint Attorney
General Olney to the State depart
ment. Mr.. Olney has the neces-
sary qualifications; he is very able
man and faithful friend of all
trusts and corporations. In the
death of Gresham the country has
sustained great loss as he was a
friend of the common people. His
death will enable Mr.. Cleveland to
add another corporation lawyer to
the cabinet.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION
A few days ago that broad
minded journal, The Times-Demo-
crat, commented upon a fresh case
of religious persecution reported
from Monroe county, Miss. With
a few more papers like the I'D. re-
ligious fanaticism and puritanism
would soon be at discount in this
country. It never misses an ap-
portunity to speak words of con-
demnation of the fanatics work,
thereby calling the attention of
fair-minded people to the outrages
which are committed in the
sacred names of religion and of law.
The following is the special which
called forth the timely editorial
from The Times-Democrat:
ssAberdeen, Miss, May 2o.-
Mr.. John Nash, a Seventh-Day Ad
ventist, was yesterday arraigned in
Justice Rye's court, at Amory, in
this (Monroe) county, on the
charge of working in his field on
Sunday. Nash pleaded guilty and
undertook the management of his
own case, using the Bible for his
law book. He keeps Saturday as
religiously as a priest keeps Sunday.
The case was continued until the
second Saturday in June.
ssThe Mississippi statute bearing
upon the subject, in section 1891,
provides that .sAny one who shall
labor on the Sabbath day at any
other than household duties, works
of necessity or charity, OF an rail-
roads or steamboats,, shall, on con-
viction, be fined not more than $40
for every such offense."
BY working in his field on Sunday
John Nash has invited the deadly
enmity Of few sanctimonious fools
who have peculiar style of serving.
the Lord. It will hardly meet with
the approval of sensible people who
are Christians at heart as we'll as in
name. If the Seventh-Day Adven-
lists choose to keep Saturday as the
Sabbath and do their farm work on
Sunday, in what way do they inter-
fere with the rights of the other
creeds? Things have reached
pretty pass when a man can not hoe
his corn or plant peanuts on Sun
day without being dragged before
the courts as a common criminal by
lot of religious cranks.
We do not know any of the peo-
who are prosecuting the Seventh
Day Adventists in Mississippi; but
we will venture to say that they
have not half as much religion as
the victims of their hell-born
hatred. The man who presecutes
his neighbor on account of religion
is more dangerous than the anar-
chist. The latter is an open enemy
to society and is an outlaw, while
the former pretends to be meek
follower of Christ when in reality
he is an emissary of the devil.

Intemperance and the Catholic
Church.

Rev. James NJ. Clcary.
During the past twenty-one years
the Catholic Total Abstinence I'm
ion of America has done noble and
heroic work in the cause of sobriety
and public decency. But with our
ten millions, of Catholics, this grand
association should number instead
of sixty thousand, six hundred thou
sand members. If our church coun-
CHS are to be needed, if the utter
ances of the sovereign pontiff are to
be respected, If we will not turn a
deaf ear to the repeated appeals of
our best and wisest prelates, there
must be new awakening among our
Catholic people against the wither
ing curse of drink.
Our Catholic people expect too
much from the church if they enter
tain the delusive notion that the
church can save weak men from
ruin while her own children, by
their voices or their ballots, do not
aid in diminishing or removing the
occasion of sin. There is not much
consistency in applauding the de-
crees and admonitions of our church
councils in theory, and in practical
life withholding our support from
the influences that make for the re-
alizat1on of what the church incul-
Gates.
The church, by the united voice
of our bishops assembled in the
third plenary council of Baltimore,
warns its members against the
dangers of the drink habit and the
temptations of the saloon. The
same council warns our Catholic
people against the business of sa
loon keeping as can unbecOming
way of making a living" A man
cannot be a good Catholic, loyal
follow r of the teachings of the
church of this country, and be
good friend of the saloon. Much
less can a Catholic be a saloon
keeper and a dutiful child of the
church. We should at least have
the courage to follow Were our
chief pastors lead, and our Catho-
lie loyalty is not above supicion if
we are not as ready to condemn the
drink evils as our bishops. who
have been placed over us 'to rule
the church of Cod"
The drink curse shields itself be-
hind false theories of science, and
many have been deluded by the
false notion that alcohol is benc-
fetal to health. Forty-four states
of this union have by law made the
teaching of true principles of tenn
perance compulsory in our common
schools. Too. much importance
cannot be attached to the practice
of intoxicating habits of total alb
stinence among children and our
boys and girls during the danger
Gus and trying period Of youth.
If our prelates, priests and people
join hands together to work in har-
mony and strenth for the realization
of the admonitions of our plenary
councils, the awful curse of intern
perancc can be almost entirely
eradicated from among us. We
must encourage, then, our total alb
stinence societies by every means
at our command. We priests,

showers of blessing are descending upon
the energetic workers of the West End

effort. they have entered this conference
