War and Sunday.

Chicago Post.
The orthodox sentiment of this country is
naturally perturbed over the reckless dis
regard of the Sabbath day shown by the
commanders of our fleets. The attack at
Manila was begun on Sunday, and there is
every indication that SIMPSONS fleet will
be in active warfare tomorrow, perhaps on
the old principle, 1.-The better the day the
better the deed" During the civil war the
good old descendants of the Puritans in
New England were continually stirred up
by the excessive amount of fighting on the
Lords day, and we remember that when
the Union forces suffered reverses they were
invariably attributed to the desecration of
the Sabbath. On the other hand, victory
brought forth no complaints. This apparent
inconsistency was & source of great wonder
and perplexity to the little boys and girls in
the Sunday schools Of those perilous times.
Another pleasant memory of the civil war
is the fact that whenever it rained in New
England the downpour was accepted as
sure sign of terrible fighting in the South.
for it is now general accepted that heavy
discharges of gunpowder will cause rain,
proposition we should like to see discussed
by Prof Gray. If this is true we may rea-
sonably infer that the wet weather OF the
past week in Chicago is attributable to the
military operations around Manila and Ma
tanzas, and, accepting this explanation, we
should put up with the excess of precfpita-
ton with equanimity and cheerfulness. But
what a flood they must have had in Spain.
