The courts of Illinois have upheld the night of Seventh Day Adventists to work on Sunday. In other words, they hold the right of all religious sects to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences and to ob- serve any day of the week as the Sab- bath, according to their belief. This is right. It is in accordance with the spirit, if not the exact letter, of the or ganic law of the land The great ana jority of the Christian world holds that the first day of the week should be observed as the Sabbath. Some sects, like the Seventh Day Adventist. are as strict believers in the last day of the week. Each should be permitted to exercise their own will in this mat ter without the interference of law.

The exchange of money and the ex- change of commodities are so closely interwoven that it seems that if there should be an international agreement on a money standard there should also be one on a tariff schedule. If not, why not? If the United States can es- tablish a tariff schedule without the advice or consent of other nations, why cannot it also establish a mone- tary standard without such advice or consent?

to Teller.

There have been not few instances where a party has so elevated a man as to permit of his entertaining the idea that he is the party. It is a mis- take in both. First in the party be- cause it creates a master, commonly called a 'fboss," and he always brings disaster to the party. Then in the man because the boss business at last becomes irksome, the party bucks and the man is thrown in such manner that his political neck is disbocated.
 New York is furnishing just now a kaleidoscope view of the transition in the second part of the programme of the play called Mistake" and the, New York Journal mildly tells it as follows:
 "The Democrats of the Third Albany district, who elected David B. Hill as delegate to the state convention under instructions to vote for the in- dorsement of the Democratic National platform and candidates, did not know that they were guilty of an intolerable impertinence. Yet 'the great man had caused it to be made known previously what instructions would be against his wishes and judgment That assur- ance ought to have been enough for the lowly Democrats of Albany, but they fell into the error of taking it for granted that Mir. Hill was also Dem ocrat. and therefore not likely to ob- jeot to hearing from his constituents. I think feelingly said MT Norton Chase, to whom the naughty letter of l declination was sent, T think it was inadvisable to attempt to bind a statesman of Senator Hills eminence by the resolution of an assembly dis trict convention All the district con- ! ventions of Albany instructed their delegates, but as there is only one Senator Hill there have been no other declinations.
 While mildly interested Nation is inquia,ing Who is Senator Hill,' the Democracy of New York might profit ably employ its official energy in pry- ing him off the political fence where he has sat SO long as to acquire pads.
 1.-The Democratic party can get along without Senator Hill, but it is hard to see how Senator Hill can get along
 without the Democratic party. Pos sibly if MT. Hill would apply ice to his head this consideration might pene- l trate his consciousness.

 the Democracy wearies of David B.
