THE SUNDAY UPRoAR.
One Mans Pleasure is Another Mans
 Annoyance.

A "set'' has been made at the resort known as Fort George. in the upper part of Manhattan Island. on the ground that it's patrons could enjoy i themselves without so much scream ing. so much violence and so much . beer, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The 1 East Side resident. who has been 1 obliged to conform to the rules and | regulations for six days, feels an eE- ! pansion of spirit on the day when he cannot work that must express itself in vehemence. If he were a cowboy, he would get drunk: if he were poet. he would soar; but. being a plain cob bier. tinker. hOd-carrier, errand-run- lner. or what-not. he wants something to offset the mOnOtOny Of the dally grind, and as drunkenness incurs ar 1 rest. and as he has never learned to soar. he goes to Fort George, dances
 with great energy with Mamie and ! Maggie drinks beer enough to be con-
 versational. but not inept. has six or | eight fights on the side with otheer gallants who had Ogled his "goils. | and returns to his tenement with an appetite for sleep.
 Now, while residents in the neigh borhood of Fort George. who are peo-
 pIe of quiet taste and quiet homes, oD- ject to the uproar and the crowding on Sunday. the people who like Fort l George must be accommodated some where; and if they are barred from that spot where will they cOncentrate2
 Space they do not want; indeed, the closer they are packed, the better the
 fun Air is a theory, but beer ne
 cessity. Music they require but mere
 " to dance by, and the quality of it is of absolutely no consequence. so
 that the quantity is exceeding. What i eyer else can be furnished in the way of entertainment that is inexpensive,
 but that imparts a thrill, such as chute and rifle shooting, whirllng on merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels throwing objects at the heads of color | ed gentlemen, presented for the pur-
 pose through an aperture in canvas $ gnashing frankfurters and bumpne . the bumps is accept-ale. CoAvc-sa- ton is carried on in a continuous yell 0 which can be heard a mile away, a vas 0 and stirring sound. like a surf, punct-
 uated by shrieks louder than the dia- e logue when Jake playfully throws Mag 'f gie off the veranda. or employs her a O a weapon in the settlement of a dis g pute.
 v Will the people who like to spen' d Sunday doing this be satisfied with IT resort which consists of buildings an gardens. m an appdHlllS COIlulIlJii '- neatness? Will they be cOutented wit e. symphony concerts and art galleries 1t Will wild car horses drag them int 10 libraries? Will they endure request le to moderate the intensity of their re al marks. or the voices they use to mak pr remarks with? We doubt it. Cone a Island has been made too good fc H. thousands. and it is the most unfGrtJ " nate thing about being done good thi UT it is epensive. The East Side man an
 his girl want a place where freedo at will descend from her mountai e. height and mix with people witho1 ng wearing frills. They want a pla' Is where they can drink, dance, play al nd whoop. and where they can leap up' k the countenances of PUritans who pr
 tend not to like it. There has been
 great deal of stir over books. art, al
 that sort of thing. but possibly n mt stir enough over the humber deligh iy of a multitude that scorn books al nd art. and is still entitled to it's holida
 And the problem is to find pla ed where the East Side can surge wit st. out frightening the other sides. B to cause the other sides have a few Ii in gering rights too.
