INTERESTING DECISION.

The State Supreme Court on Mon.
Gay forenoon handed down a decis-
tOD in the case of the Board of Health
O. the State of Louisiana VS.. Adolph
Susslin, the Algiers baker who. in
answering a suit brought by the StAte
Eoard Of Health for an injunction to
restrain him from doing business any
further until such time as he should
obey the boards order to clean up
his hakery and put it in sanitary con-
dltlCn, argued that the State Board
Ct Health is without jurisdiction iii
the matter-that only the City Board
OF Health has such right, the State
board having only a supervisory pow
er over municipalities, municipal cor
Iorat!ons and its subordinate bodies
having only the police power to gov
elm themselves.
Judge Skinner, of the Civil Court,
upheld this contention of Susslin, and
decliE ed to issue the injunction sr
tC perpetuate it. Thereupon Benja-
min 7. Waldo, who worked up he
case on behalf of the State Board of
Health, Of which he was then the at
toTney, applied to the State Supreme
Court for writs of certiorari and man
damus to compel Judge Skinner 10
Issue the injunction. The matter be.
ing one of vital Importance, since it
affected the matter of whether or not
the state authorities can take such
steps in municipalities as the State
Board of Health was taking or at
to take as in the Susslin
case, it has been followed with in
tense interest by both the members
Of the bar, the judiciary, and the state
and municipal officials.
Associate Justice Land, as the or
gan Of the court, directed that the
order issued by Judge Skinner be va
Gated, the exception filed by Susslin
OVerruled, and ordered finally that
Judge Skinner proceed to try the
rue on it's merits

THE POINT OF VIEW.

The ladies of New Orleans are TAX
Ing up the matter of the repeal of
the city ordinance which prohibits
peddling of vegetables and like mar
Ket articles on the residence streets.
These ladies claim that the keeping
up Of the markets greatly increases
the cost Of living, without reaching
the needs of the people adequately.
Inc commission merchants are in
FAVOR Of the repeal, and the Zig
green-grocers also favor it, the las.
ter saying that when they were over
stocked with perishable goods, thew
could run out several carts in the res
ldence streets, and dispose of stuff
that is now total loss, but which
they could offer cheap, an advantage
all round.
These points seem welltaken, and
one may be sure that these ladies
know what they want and why thew
want it. We refer to the circum.
stance to point moral, since dwell
ers in country towns are apt to be.
wall the absence of a market. "Oh,"
tney sigh, IF we had only some one
place to go, where We could be sure
OF finding what We want without
waiting and watching for the casual
and uncertain carts!"
The New Orleans ladies have had
markets, and while they are not pre-
pared to dispense with them alto
jether, are now asking for the long.

can give.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

At this season of the year much
is said and written about the Christ
mas spirit, in an effort to induce tie
proper attitude to the should be-Cheer
ful holiday, called Christmas. The
spirit preached for, aimed for is OF
course the one of rejoicing, like that
Which animated the angels singing
Peace on earth" in the supernal
heights above Judea over nineteen
hundred years ago, the spirit of faith
and trust that inspired the Magi in
their long quest for the King of the
Jews, and furthermore that induced
them to bestow upon Him their rich
est gifts when they had found Him.
The Christmas world, like the
Magi, feel that it also has found
Him; hence the general bestowal of
gifts, Gin His name" not only upon
those beloved, but upon the needy
and the Borrowing.
This is the Christmas spirit: Joy,
faith, trust, and such beneficence as
ones means permit. Only those who
attain to it can really enjoy Christ
mas. The epicure and the glutton
may revel in the good cheer that the
table affords, the grasping may feel
certain glow at the possession of
gifts even as the naturally generous
INDUCES in giving, but none of these
have the real Christmas spirit unless
they receive or bestow in His name.
Vain are all efforts to evoke that
elusive spirit by other means. The
miser gives but his heart contracts
the more in the giving; the spend |
thrift gives but the gift flows forth
like water and leaves no mark upon
his soul; but he, who comes like the |
Wise Men, seeking a little child"
or does it for a little child, or as a |
little child's expression of love, will |
receive the benedicton of the Christ
mas spirit.
