People OF Cairo will have all this
week in which to decide whether or
not they want baseball this season
1t may be said that while baseball is
not absolutely necessary to COM
mum y's prosperity, it is certain the
no city can be really in the swim
without it. AS rule, Cairo can bea-
the "sox" off anything that wears en-,
if she wants to: and there isn't any
thing to be afraid of in the otner
seven cities in the proposed league
There seems to be easy sailing SO
far as the financing is concerned
Mr. Reck. of the Cairo Brewing Co,
offers to provide the playing ground
complete, free of charge, which leaves
only 1880 to raise $500 of which
will come back at the end OF the
season Baseball Is a paying invest

HOLY SYNOD EASTER GREETING

In spite of Russia's fearful-wonder-

istence of so-called popular assem-
| bly,, and in spite of various solemn
| Imperial promises of religious liberty
liberation and justice, the relentless,
stupid, harbarous persecution of The
Jewish subjects OF the car has con.
, tinued and grown more and more cf-
fensive to civilization and decency.
Expulsions, denials of the right tc
education, fragrant discrimination
having no basis in reason or propriety
have been reported Of late with As.
tonishing frequency.
The latest act of characteristic big
otry, folly and observation is the or.
der of the holy synod'-what irony
there is In the name!-forbiddiu

names" Including. presumably, the
names borne by the apostles, fathers
and founders OF the Christian church.
who happened to be Jews! We pass
over the legal question as to the right
Of the synod-the most reactionary
body in Europe. The body which ex.
communicated Tolstoi, the greatest
and truest Christian of his time in
Rnssia--to issue an edict of this sort;
perhaps the duma will address an IN
terpellation to the cabinet on tina,
! point. But what is to be thought OF
! this peculiar form of the synod's
Easter greeting to the Jews of Rus
sia-and to the Christians as We'll?
The order is medieval in its con
ception and monstrous in its petty
puerile meanness. To interfere with
the naming Of children in this DAY
at this stage of the worlds develop
ment; to prohibit parents, among
oher things, from going to the Bible
for the first names, is to display a
spirit not only unEhristian but in
human.
Yet the holy synod calls itself a
strictly orthodox" Christian body, II
claims to follow literally the teach
ings of Christ, the evangel of human
brotherhood, equality, fraternity and
loving kindness. The pen of Tols
tot alone could do justice to the gro
tesque hypocrisy of this Easter
greeting, OF this lesson in the applica
ton Of Christian religion and ethical
precepts. Has the holy synod, one
wonders, any familiarity with tht
Sermon on the Mount the parabies
and injunctions of Christ?
Such dark age edict, such re
version to insensate tyranny almos
makes one despair OF Russian pro
, gress. Fortunately, the holy synod
, does not represent anything vital
human, enlightened, or even mode"
, lately reasonable in the Russia of to
day. --Record-Herald.

Ii is the duty of every good citizen
to give their moral support and stand

man who enforces the law. There
Is an element OF sayagery when we

the weak and unfortuna.e, either
weak mentally, morally or socially.
| think we should see to 1t that the
gambling, slot machines, etc, ought
TO be stopped, as well as the negro
crap shooter. While We are doing
this we should not pass by the chur-
ches, clubs, and social games of
chance under gauge of refinement.
We cannot legislate ,norai,;y or pu'-

therefore, legislation is not the solu-
ton of the problem of social purity.

The devil and regeneration is the solu-
ton of the purity problem. The diff
ference between reformation and re-
generation is the difference between
withdrawing and washing white. Re
formation is like the putting in OF
lime and alum that sends the filth

there.
Social purity must begin in the
pulpit; and the preacher that doesn't
take a square stand against gambling
in the home, tipping, public dances,
and his people looking at impure pic
lures and plays; if he's too small to
hold his job and stand against these
things, he ought, in the interest of
social purity, leave town and get
job at selling lightning rods. This

When the man at the top ceases to

THE RIGHT KIND OF PARCELS POST.

@NERPOWERING popular sentiment in favor of the estab.
W. lislment of a parcels post by the government has so far
prevailed at Washington that the system, i'll a limited way,
is to be recommended TO Congress by the postmaster general. 1t Is
TO be gradually established on the rural mail routes, and the IN
ference is that the present charge for a fourpound parcel of sixteen
cents per pound is to be retained, which would make the cost of
an eleven pound package $176. Moreover, the plan of the post
1nastergeneral does not provide for collections in the rural dis
trnts where the postoffce is frequently miles away from the resi-
dence of the shipper. A parcels post charge of sixteen cents a
pound would throw to the express companies all the business above
four pounds. But Congress has the say what kind of a parcels
post the people shall have, and the people of the cities are as
much entitled to this convenience, common in European countries,
as the rural districts, where the express companies cannot be much
hurt by the innovation whatever the rate might be. The present
lack of a parcels post is a public wrong perpetuated for many years
by railroad and express company influences at Washington. Denial
of the parcels post by government has cost the people many mil
lions that have gone to swell great private fortunes. Now that the
public has awakened TO the wrong and has representatives in Con
gress to speak in it's behalf it will not be content with the compare
lively triding service that is contemplated, while a parcels post at
a higher rate than that in England will be Indignantly rejected.

LAW
10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
According to the New York pa pers. a
law is going in force there that will
practically put a stop to the owning of
firearms by those who do not have an
express permit to keep one. 1t will not
even be allowed for a man to keep a
revolver in his bureau drawer, pro.
yided the law is properly enforced.
Some such law should be passed in
Newark. The possession of dangerous
weapons is no protection whatever.
AS often as not the intrepid house,
holder thinks he hears a robber break
ing into his home, seizes his revolver.
fires blindly into the darkness and hits.
not a burglar, but a friend.
Accidental shootings of one kind and
another are reported so frequently In
the papers that we hardly realize the
full danger that turks in the possession
of firearms.
A ban on firearms and other danger
GUS weapons would mean fewer gun
fights and %stabbing trays, fewer acct
dental shootings and less incentive for.
men with imagined grievances or poor
nerves to carry a gun or keep it under
their pillow.
Why not emulate New York?

of owners having a license on their
dog collars. If there was a law to
this effect il would be possible TO hold
some one responsible for the great
growth in the number of dog-bite
cases. Much of the disease which is
spread among children is also carried
by dogs which have no homes anG
never get a cleansing. If the owners
would put a collar and license on their
dogs the humane society could do the
rest by picking up all the stray dogs
and destroying them. Many times
the policemen have been asked to
take care of stray animals, but all they
can do is to notify the human society,
and before they have arrived the dogs
have disappeared. F. III.
