End of the Rice Case.
Mow that the court has, upon re
argument, fully sustained Mayor Cou
ncil's course with reference to the
evangelist, Rice, it may be well to give
a final review of this whole case, in or
der to make clear just why the mayor
was impelled to pursue it with some
persistence, aud also to disabuse tl e
minis of those who may have felt,
upon an incomilete understanding of
tbe facts, that the mayor's policy wna
tinged with severity. What, to begin
with, undoubtedly inciiued the mayor

urally he chose the former course, and
once chosen, it was pursued uudsvial -ingly.
The attempt of Rice, in defiance of
the law, to collect a large crowd that
blockaded the public right of passage
wonld, had it been ignored, have ei
coura;;ed other attempts, possibly for a
less peaceful purpose. The law, how
ever, does not give a polfce officer the
option of discriminating between law
breaking evaugeliets and law-breaking
fakers. The police officer's duty is to
prevent street blockades and arrest the
blockaders If he neglects this duty,
he renders himself liable to suspension

fear the only recourse oneu to the lhe county court, the mayor was at
worshippers at St. John's cnuroh is to
wait until a possible violation of the
law may afford .them an opportunity
to petition for a cancellation of the
permit. Tbe presentation of such a
cotnplalnt, properly authenticated and
sustained, would, it is believed, cause
the court to reagjnd an action which
undoubtedly subjects ' to much
srilicism.
It ih aeJrAOT of general expirlenct
stuong newspaper publishers that tbe
iemapd for a complete report of the
UrecSinridge trial came not alone from
persons of confessedly lax morals, but
from heads of families and high stand

decision, bad it been sustained, would
hive been a freeing of all influence!

Rice could seil't the strsets. resiat the

this decision would have incited ev;ry
other bad citizen to pursnw a similar
course of bnll-dozing aud obstruction;
and the municipal police) authorities
would have been powerless to prevent.
