NO SUNDAY.

The New Orleans Picayune says
1.-The proposition to place in the State
constitution clause virtually e1pung-
ing Sunday from any consideration or
protection or recognition in The laws
Of Louisiana is something as radical
it is remarkable. There is not nation
in the limits of Christendom, much
ess a State in the Union, that does not
recognize Sunday as day Of general
Test and recreation. There has been
no action by the merchants who deal
n dry goods, groceries and general
merchandise asking that their doors
be kept open and their customers be
admitted on Sunday. They are not
moving in'thIsmatter. Theyar will
ing to Keep their, places of business
closed on. Sunday; but if the Sunday
closing shall be abolished and one COM
petitor should open his doors for bust.
ness on'that day, then every other
competitor in the same line will be
forced'in Self defence to do likewise,
and the result will be that the workers
of six days on the week will become
slaves on the seventh and have no re-
dress oa~recourse, because the conven-
tim will have put it out Of the power
OF the courts and of the Legislature to
give then relief.
"The simple fact is, that the only
people who really oppose with any bit
terness the Sunday closing are the
liquor sellers. There are two thousand
barrooms in New Orleans. They rep
resent very small proportion of the
voters o., this city, aud yet they exert
powerful political influence when they
choose to Use it. They have controlled
leo islation in this city in times past,
but they have never been able to domi-
nate the State Legislature, and il is
natural enough that they should de-
sire that all power to leeislate con-
trary to their wishes should be taken
from the General Assembly. If they
could get themselves Established in
the constitution at the expense of the
peoples Sunday rest, they would be,
indeed, the ruling power in the State"

BIG FIGHTING MONEY.

Extraordinary preparation for the
contingency Of war is being made this
ye by all the great powers of Europe
as well as by ourselves. Warllke ex-
penditure is being increased in most
cases by over 90 per cent. England is
adding to both army and navy. The
new navy estimates increase the ex-
penditure by over 81, 202, 900, bringing
them up to sis, 100000 for the COM
ing fiscal year, aGgure nearly equaled
once before, in 1914, when the bill was
SIT, 100000. With this years
army estimates added, the total appro-
priation FIR the British army and navy
reaches S240,000,000, This is exclus-
i've of the forces in India and the col
onies, for which India and the colonies
pay. 1t includes provision for new
battle ships and armored cruisers and
for improved docks and forts ct
Gibraltar, Portland and Dover.
The expenditure of the Uni ed Sta es
f,r military purr oses in tao next twelve
months, if the $50, 100000 just appro-
pr.ated is spent, will much exceed the
entire military expenditure Of the
United Kingdom. For the current
year there was appropriated S20S, 1872

OVER ONE THOUSAND LAWS


The Legislature recently adjourned
passed more bills than any which ever
convened in Richmond, having 1,O43
to its credit. The former Governor
and Governor Tyler vetoed eight of
these. five failed to receive the Gov
errors signature on the last day of
the session. and four others, for various
reasons, did rot become laws. Thus,
1,O26 new laws will now go upon the
statute books of Virginia, a larger
number that after the adjournment of
any previous Legislature. About 500
bills introduced failed to pass.

 The physicians of Mrs. Davis report she is holding up with great calmness in her affliction and no fears are at present entertained of her health yielding to the strain.
 Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the Confectionery" was born in the Confed- crate executive mansion at Richmond, va., in 1868. She was educated prin- cipally at home, owing to the trouble surrounding her father and the pub. lcity which attended all movements of the Davis family. Miss Davis attained her maturity at Beauvoir, Miss. Here she assisted her mother in various ways and took her place in the many social functions of the place. She was her fathers constant companion She as- sisted him i'll all his work and much of the information which was required by Mir Davis in his writings was secured for him by his daughter Her strong character was marked from youth.
 She was engaged to MT. Wilkerson of Syracuse, N. Y, but shortly after her fathers death the engagement was broken off. While no explanation of the rupture was given to it, it is well known that it was for the purpose of maintaining her fathers name.

During the past week especially was her condition considered favorable, and it was thought that her removal from the hotel would be possible in 8 few days as the hotel had closed for the season leaving the patient and attend ants practically alone in the house.
