MODERN BLUE LAWS.

Those who imagine that blue ia"s a'e ar have been strictly Connecticut in- stitution are mistaken .as this item from The Hartford (Con) Times, shows:
 Boston had another attack of Sunday law enforcement yesterday, ana the soua- water fountains of the city were uhuef the ban Candy. fruit, bread anu HIN were unpurchasable after lo a. m' pa' rooms with hotel licenses did Hiuch larger business than usual. The con sumntion of alcoholic liquors was mate rialIv increased, and also the general dis rasnect for the so-called blue laws which interfere with the comfort and decent enioyments of the people on the hrst day of the week.
 Due and proper respect for the hoiy Sabbath is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a Christian people ana no sound or valid argument to the con- trary can be maintained, but in this. as in most things, there is limit. A too rigid law defeats itself and often leads to something worse, as is plainly shown in the above. What harm can come to any one, or how 1t can be con sidered a desecration of the Sabbath 10 arow the sale of bread, milk. fruits o+o is dificult to understand. These are really necessaries of hfe' ana the'r sale cannot be looked on as either m- moral or sacrilegious. No religious prih- ciple is outraged and no article ot the Christian faith is violated if hungry nerson buys a loaf of bread on Sunday.
 The charge sometimes brought against dispensers of soda-water, that they mix something stronger with it, may be sus' tained in Boston, but even II It IS true is if moi A far less evil than that plainly nointed out by The Times when 1t as serts that the consumption of alcoholic ,,o,ors was materially increased as a result of the prohibition on soda-water? That is one of the natural and neNltaole results of intolerance. 1t Is the Snat and camel business in actual life Men who would be satisfied with plain, non alcoholic drinks, will. if unable to get them. go to the open hotels and get their soda-water with a liberal addition of good whiskey or brandy. Can any one fail to see which Is the greater evil? Can any true friend of temperance maintain that it is better to allow whiskey drink i'm, al the hotels than it Is to allow soda drinking at the drug-stores? The aues- ton answers itself to all but the bhndly prejudiced.
 But that is not all, for another natural and inevitable result mentioned by The Times is the increased disrespect for the laws on the part of those who were de- prived of innocent enjoyment and re- freshment The people of Boston could have no respect for such blue laws as these and when q man ceases to respect one law he is educating himself to dis regard any and all other laws which are in any way distasteful or objectionable. The famously bloody code of the Athe- nian Draco defeated itself by the severity of it's penalties, and human nature is no, so very different from what it was some

FUNSTON AND HoAR
A Republican Papers View of the
 Trouble.

Chicago IrlDune.
 The Presidents verdict in the case Of Brigadier General Funston manifestly not guilty, but do not do it again Ihe description of Senator Hoar as the pos. sessor of an "ovsrheated consc'ehce was altogether too felicitous to go unre- buked. 1t hit the nail squarely on the head and drove 1t home.
 Senator Hoar undoubtedly is Grand Old Man." but he has of late years heeh approaching dangerously near the line " .inh sera, ates the ''Grand 'ld Man from the Grand Old Nuisance. Sena- tor IIodr is unquestionaoIy one of the wttiest and wisest men of his tune. put he has during recent years becorue K tremeIy self-opinicnated and selt-conlpla- cent. impatient of adve's', argument or difference of opinion. Sometimes the Sen ator forcibly reminds one Of MT. Glad stone in his latter Yeats. Sh sn h was salu his Cabinet conferences were prolohSGu ,',a monol ogues. He was tasty and irritable to such a degree that he could not en- aure the slightest intimatton ot dissent from his opinions. to say morning. "t actual oppositi m. It is not unusual m great public men when they approach the period of old age to bA1ome di!iicult to manage. They are SO intolerant of free discussion and debate that Ill the coAn"i chamber they must speak eX cathedra CT not at aii.
 It Is well enough to GO n h)nor to Sena- tor Hoar, for he deserves It. but ha has not vet put the whole tnitaJ States in leading strings. We hope tine tim" IS still remote when he will put ring in tre nose of the goVcrnmert Tho 'najority in tine Senate has submitted to gu"d deal of scoldinG from Senator !foar because thev have recognized the elevation of his character the purity of his motives. and his sincere patriotism. but it IS q little trying at times to keep peace with him anG to assume that no prir" s too high to pay for his kind patronage.
 General Funston has been rehuked. hut the rebuKe will not trouble him much. He has probably fulfilled his mission. He has said his say. His winged words freighted with their ant characterization have gone forth ari cas[ot be rec lIlcd or erased.

Lessons for American colonizers

sydney Brooks in Forum.
 You may have good deal too much of the principles of 1776' in the govern ment of Asiatics, and the results in such cases are not satisfactory There is terrible temptation in the notion of spreading the American idea and be- slowing juries and a free press and elect ed Legislatures and all the rest of the paraphernalis on the benighted Nipinos. The English have felt the same sort of temptation in India; and wherever they have succumbed. both they and their sub jects have been the worse for it. The Malay Peninsula is golden object les son in the value of going slow" Glad stonianism in the tropics is altogether as out of place and as harmful as "Jeffer- sonian doctrines" The English in Ma iaya took the better course when. drop ping all preiudices In favor of this po- iitical theory or of that. they looked the facts squarely in the face and considered how they might be bettered. And the de- fective altruism that would explode "do- mocracy" upon the Orient is as it seems to onlookers. one of the gravest dangers that lies ahead of the American venture in the Philippines.
