The New York Post testifies that last
Sunday was the driest ever seen in New
York, and the cause of it was the Raines
law recently passed by the New York
legislature. Under this measure all
saloons and places where liquor is sold
must be closed on Sunday, in the large
cities las well as in the small ones.
Probably as time goes on the closing on
Sunday will not ba so general as it was
last Sunday, as the liquor dealers will
discover methods of evading the law, but
with an active enforcement of the law by
the special force which has been provided
for this particular purpose anything ap
preaching an open sale of liquor on Sun
day can probably be prevented. The
effect of the law politically is being dis
cussed, and 1t seems to be the general
opinion that it will injure the Republl-
can very severely in the large cities while
it may help them some in the country.
There is little doubt but the law will be-
come an issue in the next state election,
and that the Democrats will pledge them
selves to the repeal of its most unpopular
features, such as complete Sunday closure
and the abolition of The free lunch, or to
its entire abrogatiou.

1t is little unfortunate that the re-
form in the methods of the Board of
Dverscers of the Poor insugurated by the
City Council can be claimed as "great
victory" for the member of the Board
who for year past has been aspersing
his fellow members in communications
and interviews published in the news
papers; for however great the intrinsic
merit Of the reform may be, this claim
which can be and is set up for it, has
strong tendency to degrade it, because its
effect is to ally it with insincerity and
to give endorsement indirectly to the
insinuations which this member has been
making against men W hose regulations
for integrity and whose standing in this
community are certainly not inferior to
his.

Fasting and Prayer.

The Christian people of our State, during
its long and brilliant history, have cherished
by absta lining from all unnecessary labor,
and invoking, amid the surroundings of the
home and in places of public worship, the
State and her institutions; and by incnlcat-
ing the principles of righteousness, of truth,
OF amity and peace.
This revered and time-honored custom, es-
tablished by the early fathers, is still worthy
OF preservation and continuance; and may
the day have appropriate recognition and be
observed in befitting manner by all the
people of our commonwealth.

gusta, this sixth day of April, in the

Experience has shown that river and
harbor bill passed under suspension of
rules is likely to turn out fairer meas
ure, with less Objectionable features in
it, than one considered in committee of
the whole and then passed. The COM
mittee which prepares the bill can be
more impartial and exercise wiser and
clearer Judgment, that the House each
member of which has constituents to
please. Hence though at first blush the
passage of such a bill under suspension of
rules may look like rarelessness and in
difference on the part of the House,
probably the result obtained is better for
the country than If the bill were taken
up and considered paragraph by para

Dedora Haywood, by Gertrude Smith,
author of "The Rousine of Mrs Potter''
ETC., is short story in the Feather
Library Series, series not so modest but
that it bears upon its cover the blue
eyed irridescent peacock plume tips. The
motif of this little study of character is
Christian Science The heroine thinks
she would better not give her views any
name lest prejudice at once be rife so
that "Christian Science" is of the re-
viewers introduction. While ''Dedora
Haywood" shows something of its au-
thor's unmistakable talent, it by no means
presents it as did "The Rousing of Mrs
Potter" 1t is an indeterminate sketch
and not well worked out. 1t leaves a
| sense of unnecessary disaster and of lack
of grip on the very philosophy the hero
inc embraces. In short the story can only
be acceptable as a waiting spot for some
thing better from Gertrude Smiths pen.

"TOUGHY MOULTONS" GANG.
Small Articles Have Disappeared
and the Lads Are Locked I'D.

"Toughy' Moulton and his gang" are
in trouble, and if all the police say about
them be true. there Is every prospect that
it will be some time before trouble and
the gang are parted.
"1ougny was cnrIStened Thomas, but
the other name seemed more appropriate
and it has stuck to him. "Toughy' is
fourteen and Benny Bell and Charlie John
son, who are officially known as de
gang" are thirteen. All three are very
black and when they were arrested yes
terday evening by Detective Sutton every
one ill the Twelfth street station and
some who were not heard de gang pro-
test their innocence.
Nevertheless "Toughy' and his follow
ers were locked up and charged with be-
ing suspicious characters. DE gang
didn't know what q suspicious character
was but if the police chose to call them
names and lock them up in cell, why, 1t
was all right.
"Toughy'' has had experiences with the
police before and knows all about the in
side of a station He was arrested for
housebreaking once down in South Wash
ington and has not been out of Jail very
long The cause of the trouble this time
is the peculiar disappearance of small
articles such as bicycle lamps, lanterns
and any small article which can be easily
carried.
These things always take flight as soon
as de gang appear in the neighborhood
and therefore Detective Sutton Thought it
best to put "Toughy" and his companions
beyond temptation for time and see If
they would not reform
