would become the duty or court
to consider whether he could save
himself only by violation of the
law. And when that question shall
arise, it may be possibly found
difficult to say, that q man may
lawfully labor all day to drag a
sheep out of pit, and yet can not
perform one-tenth of that labor TO
save himself and his family from
pecuniary destruction; that he
may lawfully work to save one dol
lars worth of property in the
shape of an animal, but that he
violates the law if he save all his
property by fulfilling his contract.

the disposal, to favored capitalists,
of the franchises and grants in the
islands before the people have a
voice in such disposition. AS an
example of the methods which are
being followed there, the first rail-
road, which will be built with the
Philippines money, is to be con-
structed from Manila up to place
in the mountains which will be
used solely as place of recreation
by the American residents during
the heated term. 1t will serve no
industrial purpose whatever. 1t is
all distressing. The exploitation
of the islands by favored corpora

PHILIPPINE Government.

"The Civil Government bill,

iniquitous," said Senator Carmack
of Tennessee, yesterday, when l
asked his opinion. GAS a member

had an opportunity of listining to
the testimony at first hand and
there is no ground whatever for
postponing the establishment of a
permanent government in the is
lands. Neither is it necessary
that census be taken in order
that congress may act intelligently.
The Filipinos are an intelligent
people quite capable of, at least,
local self-government. The edu-
Gated people of the islands, and by
that term 1 refer to those who can
read and write Spanish, are of
particularly high class, many of
them having enjoyed the advanta-

John Barrett, ex-Minister to Siam,
Admiral Dewey and the educators
now in the islands have all given
testimony as to the education and
intelligence of the people and have
all practically declared them capa-

A Dry Sunday.

Under the new mayor, John F.
Krieg, Logan was very tight, "
Sunday, the first time in years.
With all the boasted purity OF
Republican officials and with the
many succeeding years Of Republi-
can administration in Logan, it re-
NAMED for Democratic mayor, a
mayor of the old Democratic
"whisky" party, to enforce the
laws in Logan and close up all the
business houses that run contrary
to the Sunday laws. We will ven
ture the assertion that Logan has
not seen as eight" Sunday in
years as last Sunday, and Mayor
Krieg and Marshal Larimer are to
be congratulated upon their vigil
ance in enforcing the law.
We waited upon the mayor mon
day and asked him what was the
cause of such action on his part,
and he simply said that he had ia
ken an oath to enforce the laws of
Ohio, and Of the Village of Logan,
and that as long as he is Mayor of
Logan the laws shall be enforced
to the letter, let come what would.
That he is not seeking future fa-
vors, nor looking forward to a Sec
Ond term in office. That if the
Lord let's him live he will serve
this term and serve it right and
according to his oath and the die
tates of his conscience.
We asked him what would be his
action as to closing meat markets
and he said they would not close
by his orders, and that he would
further consider lunch rooms, ice
cream parlors, bread shops, ETC.,
and if the best decisions of the
courts held that these places were
places of necessity he would per-
NIT them to run on Sundays under
the laws. AS to ealoons and cigar
stores, he said, there is no doubt
Of the law, and these would remain
closed.
AS to his action in closing sa-
looms he cited us to the following
statutes Of Ohio:
CLOSING OF SALOONS on SUNDAY; Ho-
TELs AND EATING HOUSES; MUNIC-
IPAL REGULATIONS.
That the sale Of intoxicating
liquors, whether distilled, malt or
vinous, on the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, except
by regular druggist on the writ
ten prescription of regular prac-
ticing physician for medical pur-
poses only, is hereby declared to
be unlawful, and all places where
such intoxicating liquors are on
other days sold or exposed for
sale, except regular drug stores,
shall on that day be closed, and

| He said the best guide he had
/ for the construction of this law
was the decision of the Supreme
Court as delivered by Judge Thur
man, in case of working on Sun
day to load boat, but that he
would look up the matter further.
The decision Of Importance in the
present contest in Logan is as fol-
lows:
"The act forbids comm on labor
on Sunday, but excerpts "works OF
necessity and charity"
But was it a work of necessity
within the meaning of the actp
In answering this question, we
must always keep in mind that il
is no part of the object Of the act
to enforce the observance Of re.
ligious duty. The act does not, tc
any extent, rest upon the ground
that it is immoral or irreligious to
labor on the Sabbath any more than
any other day. 1t simply prescribei
a day of rest, from motives of pub.
lie policy and as civil regulation
and as the prohibition itself is
founded on principles of policy,
upon the same principles certain
exceptions are made, among which
are "works of necessity and char.
ity." In saying this do not mean
to intimate that religion prohibits
works of necessity or charity on the
Sabbath; but merely to show that
the principles upon which our stat.
ute rests, are wholly secular; and
that they are mono the less so be.
cause they may happen to concur
with the dictates of religion. Thus
the day of rest, prescribed by the
statute, is the Christian Sabbath
yet 30 entirely does the act rest
upon grounds of public policy, that
as was said in Bloom v. Richards
2 Ohio St. SOL, 392, it would bt
equally constitutional and obliga
tory, did it name any other day
and it derives none of it's fore,
from the fact that the day of res
is Sunday. For, as we also sale
in that case, no power whatever il
possessed by the legislature ovel
things spiritual, but only ovel
things temporal; no power what
ever to enforce the performance OF
religious duties, simply becaus,
they are religious--but only, with.

Concerning the matter of common
labor, the running of bread stores
meat markets, lunch rooms, ETC.,
on Sunday, he referred US to the
following laws of Ohio:
COMMON LABOR ON SUNDAY.
Whoever, being over fourteen
years of age, engages in common
labor on the first day of the week
commonly called Sunday; and
whoever, being over fourteen years
of age, shall open or cause to be
opened any building or place fol
the transaction of business on the
first day Of the week commonly
called Sunday, or who shall re-
quire any person in his employ OF
under his control to engage in
common labor on Sunday, shall, on
complaint made within ten days
thereafter, and upon conviction,
be fined, for the first offense, TWEEN.
ty-five dollars, and for each subse.
quent offense such person shall be
fined not less than fifty dollars mol
more than one hundred dollars, and
imprisoned not less than five days
nor more than thirty days. But
this sectien does not apply to OIL
embrace works of necessity or Of
charity, and does not extend tc
persons who concientiously observe
the seventh day of the week a,
Sabbath, and who do in fact alb
stain, on that day, from the doing

ELEVEN SUITS COMPROMISED.
They Were All Against the Southern Brought
by Col J. A Barringer.

Special to the News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 23.-The South
ern Railway must have reversed the
policy which is said to have guided it for
so many years in refusing to settle law
suits for damages after case is brought
until 1T has run the whole gamut of
litigation and the court of "dernier re-
sort of the State or Nation has decreed
that it should pay. Yesterday eleven
suits brought by Col. John A. Barringer
alone in Guilford county were compro-
missed The cases included all now on
the docket, one of them having just been
brought and the complaint not filed.
Yesterday Chief Law Agent Dooley
and General Counsel for the Southern,
Henderson, arrived from Washington and
were in conference all day with Messrs.
King & Kimball, local division counsel,
on these cases in conjunction with Col.
Barringer. The result was that at the
last moment, when boarding their special
car at the depot last night, Col. Hender-
son gave the ultimatum compromise
terms of the Southern Railway Company
and this offer Col. Barringer accepted
The gross amount agreed to be paid,
to the best of my information, is $7400
and the costs in each case. Out of the
eleven suits, different amounts are to be
paid. according to the merits of each
case, some of them carrying merely
nominal sum, while others reach pretty
high
