Enforcement of the Law.

The question as to the rigid enforce meut of laws that are not endorsed by local sentiment is continually before the people, not only in the West, but in the large cities of the East. The Outlook, of which excellent publica- tion the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott is the editor-in-chief, gives some interesting thoughts on the subject, from which we extract the following:
 "The implicit claim of Dr. Park hurst's letter, that all laws must be vigorously enforced by the officials and absolutely obeyed by the citizens, is one which history proves to be untena- ble in practice, and philosophy, inter preted by history, proves to be false in ethics. In 1850 law was passed by the U. s. Congress for the return by Federal officers to slavery of all slaves escaping into the Northern states. It was insisted then that every citizen was bound to yield obedience to this law, and every official was bound to enforce it until it was repealed. We wonder if Dr. Parkhurst thinks this contention sound. In the 16th century the Netherlands were part of the Spanish Empire, and Spanish law made it a penal offense to worship except with Roman Catholic forms, or to teach or even to entertain other than Roman Catholic opinions. Margaret of Parma was the governor of the Netherlands, and William the Silent urged Margaret of Parma not to enforce strictly in the Netherlands these Spanish laws against freedom of religion. We wonder if Dr. Parkhurst thinks William the Silent was wrong in his counsel and the Duke of Ava right in his insistence upon en- forcement. We do not compare the present excise law with the fugitive slave law or the Inquisition, but these historic incidents serve to illustrate principle which we think all true states men have been accustomed to recog- nize-namely, that when law is en- acted by one community to be enforced in another community, the officials charged with it's enforcement must, in the degree and extent of the enforce ment, take account of the public senti- ment of the community in which it is to be enforced. Whether the Sunday closing law in it's present form is right or not we do not here discuss; the so- ciety for the prevention of crime expressly declines to express an opin- ion on tbat question. But as between the contention of this letter, that every law is to be strictly enforced until it is repealed, and the contention of Mir. Low that the extreme of the law is the extreme of injustice,' the Outlook be- lieves Mir. Lows position to be the more sane, the more rational, and the more righteous.

A serious complication confronts the owners of the steamer Bertha. She went ashore in Canadian territory and about 200 tons of her cargo was landed safely on the beach. The Canadian au- thorities will not allow the cargo to be loaded on an American vessel, and the U. S. authorities will not allow a British boat to take it to a place of safety. And there you are. Meanwhile the cargo rots on the beach. The only hope is the possibility that the Bertha may be floated. Capt. Carol, local mana ger of the Alaska Commercial compa- ny, came up to the scene of the wreck on the Dolphin.

WILL NEWPORT HAVE
 SALOONS?

It seems that the Jacksonport people are going to keep saloons out of Newport, or, at least, out of the business portion of New port, by enforcing their three mile law. The territory within fl lhree-mile radius of the Jackson port school house embraces all the business portion of Newport, and, if the Jacksonport people are dis posed to be the least bit contrary about tke matter, they can keep saloons out of Newport, or at least out of that part em mhraced Tn their three mile territory. In that event, the Newport saloon men could not sell whisky any nearer tho business portion of the city than down in the lower part of town somewhere on Remmel ave- nue or out in East Newport across the lake.
 It is only natural to presume that the Jacksonport people still hold a little grudge against New port for wrestling the county seat from them few years ago and  now, that they have an opportuni- ty to "get even," the Jack sonp )rt- CTS, aided hy d few of Newport 5 enthusiastic prohibitionists, wlll in all probability, fight the matter to the bitter end.
 If the Jacksonporters succeed in keeping saloons out of their three-mile territory, it is not like ly that Newport will have saloons, because of the fact that their out of-the-way location would make it more profitable to run Il blind
