OBSERVANCE OF A HOLY DAY.

1t is true beyond doubt that,
through changes in the calendar, made
at divers times, the identity of the
day of the week set apart as holy
day has become lost. The Fourth
Commandment appointed the seventh
day of the week as the holy day, and
it is still observed by the Jews and
some Christian denominations, but the
first day of the week is now held as
sacred by a great majority of Chris
tians, and is recognized by enlightened
thought as day, in the language
of the Westminster Confession of
Faith, ito be kept holy unto the Lord"
But there is also a recognition of
works of necessity and mercy upon
that day, and the tendency and growth
of our modern life has broadened
these things to degree never dreamed
of a few hundred years ago. Many
men must now work upon the holy
day of the week, but most of them, rec
ognizing the necessity, still respect
the day and all it stands for. A man
may toll with muscle or brain upon
Sunday, and still recognize the sane
tity of the day, and hold it in due and
proper respect as a day of rest, time
for worship, and period sacred to
quietness, good order and the observ-
ance of the law and the command
ments. The identity of the day mat
tiers little. 1t may be the first day
of the week, or the last. But there is
an injunction to observe a holy day,
and Christians of whatever creed unite
in demanding its observance, although
they may differ as to the day. The
great prepondrance of Christians agree
upon the first day of the week, it is
recognized in practice and in law as
the holy day, and its proper observ-
ance, as nearly as our civilization and
progress will allow, is a good thing to
insist upon. To needlessly desecrate
this day is to take long step back
ward Such action violates the law of
both God and man. It opens the door
to the license and lawlessness Of the
first French republic, the Goddess of
Reason, the abolition of all religion,
and to a general condition of affairs
not conducive to the welfare of man
kind. Remember the Sabbath day
TO keen il holy" is a good Injunction
to tie to.

GOVERNOR" TAYLOR.
The Intelligencer remarks


Governor Taylor is in Indiana and nat
urally will not return to Kentucky to be
prosecuted, perhaps assassinated"
Nobody is going to 'persecute" Mr..
Taylor, and there is no disposition to
assassinate him, as there was in the
case of Mr.. Goebel William Goebel
was foully murdered. The crime was
the result of political plot. More
than one man had guilty knowledge
of 1t. Mr.. Taylor may be guilty or
innocent. If the latter why not face
his accusers. If any there be, and not
hide, like fugitive from Justice, be-
hind the Governor of Indiana, as
Charles Finley is doing. Let him go
to Kentucky. No one will shoot him
in the back.
AS for Governor Mount, of Indiana,
he is rapidly putting himself, if Mr..
Finley or Governor" Taylor are in
any sense guilty parties. ip the posi-

THE BRAxToN REruBL1CANs.

The Republicans of 3raMon county
are for Judge John A. Campbell for
Congress, and therefore the Intelligen-
GER
Regrets to note the disposition mani
tested by some of the Republicans of
Braxton county to stir up unnecessary
strife within the party lines.
And in this connection the Intelli
gencer further observes:
mo one denies the right of a free ex-
preston of opinion to those who are raw
orable to Judge Campbelrs candidacy, but
we do not think his supporters in BraXton
county, are taking course that Is cal
And it also says;
From all information obtainable, and
information that is Us reliable as our cor
respondents, the Intelligencer believes
that the convention which selected dele
gates to the Congressional convention was
entirely regular. large majority OF
those present were favorable to the re-
nomination OF Captain DoVener and his
delegates We're chosen in due form"
This is a sad case. The majority
no. some the Republicans OF
Braxton county favored the nomination
of Judge Campbell. The Dovener-In-
telligencer machine attempted to make
the convention reverse itself and sup
port the present Congressman. The
convention refused, there was a row,
and the Campbell men met by them
selves and chose Cam ob2ll delegates.
Therefore, some" of the Republicans
of Braxton are stirring up ''unneces-
sary strife within the party, Judge
Campbells supporters are taking
course that is not calculated to
strengthen his cause, and "a large ma
jority of those present were favorable
to the denomination of Capt. Dove
ner."
These several Intelligencer PROPOSE
tons are untrue. Some" of the Re
publicans of Braxton are not stirring
up unnecessary strife within the
party" They are simply demanding
the right to freely express their choice
Of a candidate, which choice, it hap
pens, does not coincide with that of
the machine; tine Campbell men are
taking the best course TO strengthen
his cause by advocating it, voting for
him, and insisting upon his right to a
fair and square deal, and a majority
Of those present at the Braxton con-
vention were not favorable to Captain
Dovener, but were favorable to Camp
bell. 1t may be added that the Intel
igencer is for Dovener and opposed
to Campbell and yet, if Judge Camp
bell should, by any chance, be the NOM
inee of the Congressional convention
the Intelligencer will the very next
morning turn its back upon Captain
Dovener and extol Judge Campbell as
the best candidate that ever was" the
standard-bearer of the party, and man
before whom a subservient organ,
without principle or conscience, can
consistently kneel in pretended wor-
ship.
The Intelligencer will end Judge
John A. Campbell's political career if
it can. But If it fails, he will have
no more devoted follower or abject
slave. If Judge Campbell is defeated
there will be great rejoicing in the
lntelligencer office; if he is successful
despite unfairness, the Intelligencer
will be glad to polish his boots

ton Of being an accessory after the
fact. In addition, in the case of Fin
ley, he is violating paragraph 2 Of
section ii. of the Constitution of the
United States, which reads:
"A person charged in any State with
treason, felony or other crime. who shall
fee from justice, and be found in another
State, shall. on demand of the executive
authority of the State from which he fed,
be delivered up, to be removed to the
State having jurisdiction of the crime
This is a mandate from the funda-
mental law of the United States. Gov
ernor Mount ignores it. There ought
to be some way of bringing Governor
Mount to time.

COUNCILMAN CHEW,s CARD.

Councilman Ross T. Chew has re-
turned to the city, and has written an
open letter to the public. 1t is a very
interesting document, as far as it goes.
Mr.. Chew has evidently gone to some
trouble to ascertain a few facts, and
he sets them forth in good newspaper
style. But while he revels in a wealth
of detail about certain specified ho-
tel with bar attachment and wine
room" decorations, he omits, very sin
gularly, from his narrative information
as to the attempts of wicked saloon
keepers to bride members of Council.
That is the thing the public wants to
know about. The methods of a few
saloon keepers are tolerably well
known to everybody-bu tho police.
The bribery business is the thing de-
handing an explanation. Mr.. Chew
evidently knows what is going on. Let
him write another chapter of his tall
of real life. as it is lived in Wheeling,
giving his knowledge, information
and belief as to this more important
phase of the pending question. He
can, we believe. throw a strong ray
of pure white light into the darkness
at present enveloping the situation.
VIII he do it?
