The Sunday Problem, Once More.
Among the vnriou opinions quoted
in an kdjoioiog column wit!) reference
to the loenl movement for the hotter
observance of -xialing Sunday lawe
thi'ro are several that, however good
or however bad in the abstract, are to
soma extent irrelevant. Weallnd to
the renduble discussion of the proper
moral observance of tue first day of
the week, commonly callod Suuday.
The moral aspects of that day concern
each ami all of us, individually and
collectively, as Christian!) or non
Christlsrm; bnt just nt this timn, so far
ns relntes to this particular work of the
enforcer" of a valid law, it is souio
what apart from ihit main issue. The
only inbjiot with w&ich the (minori
ties, the bniioetl men and the Kneral
citizenship of Scrunton have to deal,
immediatoly, li embodied in the in
terrogation, "Shall the present Snnday
law be oboyed or 'defied?"- That, in
brief, is the "question befora the
house.'
When snch a query is pressed homo
to the conscientious OltiZaD. he imme
diately ascertains tho red facia in tho
case. It is a fact, we believe, that the
movement to secure a better observance
of Sunday in ScrantOD was planned,
not wholly by lUv. F. A. Dony, nor by
any particular person or persons in in
timate fellowship with him. Wo say
this in order to reassure those who
mli;ht have thought it the expression
solely of a narrow or personal idea.
The movement wns tho practical cul
mination of religious and civic instruc
tion covering more than a contury of
American history, representing; all
rliissea and sects and faiths, and find
ing expression in that dictnm of re
publicanism which says that the will
of the majority shall be obeyed as the
law of the land. The wili of tho ma
jority with reference to Sunday ob
servance had been expressed in the
words of an unrepealed statute. Leas
than two years ago an effort to have
;hat statuto repealed by the legislature
ot Pennsylvania WU deeicively votod
down. Hence for the present tho Sun
day law of 1794 had become the Sun
day law of today end as a law, until
changed, claimed tho obedience of
every good oitllsn.
The TrIBUNB is not sura that that
law, even though freshened by a recent
re-indorsement, is the high expression
of human wisdom that some of its
advocates say it is. liut we are con
vinced of one thing, decisively, and it
is that while the law Btands, it should
bo obeyed. Our government in no
particular Is perfect; and no law made
by it can be said to be beyond improve
ment. Yet the good citizen does not
arrogate to himself the right to select
for himself the laws that he sbnll obey
and then stand forth before hia fellow
citizms tipon a platform of defiance for
the 1 iwfl that he personally does not
sanction. Whon committees from the
various churches waited politely upon
he various business men of this city
who had been, through common neg
lect, violating the Sunday law, aud
courteously asked them to join hands
in a general movement which should
have for its purpose the better observ
ance of that law, it would have been a
Kood time for the good citizens who
had unwittingly violated the law to
have sat themselves right and to have
entered cordially into the campaign of
reason and concilatory argument.
Then there would have been no Dony,
with bis unpopular methods, no farci
cal arrests and no placards promul
gating intended further violations of
the law of the commonwealth.
It is perhaps not yet too late for the
voice of reason to inako clear the fact
that so long as a law remains valid, by
tho consent of tha majority, it requires
the obedienae of every true citizen,
whether he likes the law or not, Tha
man who defies the law against theft is
contemned as a thief, an outlaw. It
does perhaps nncousciouj violence to
the self-respect of certain honest, in
telligence and ordinarily liberal busi
ness men of Scranton to have the im
pression go forth, at their own desiro,
thut they are law breakers from choice;
And thut if a law does not please them,
they will pubhely defy it. We say we
do not believe there are many men In
Scranton who would maintain snch an
attitude if they could be induced to
look at the logic of their situation,
calmly and dispassionately, without
leferenceto porsonsor personalties.and
with the same shrewd, incisive good
sense that they evince in most other re
lations of life. Yet, because of certain
possibly erroneous moves by one man,
we have tha peculiar spectacle pre
sented of a number of men who in
other affairs are the peers of any citi
en, assuming a position contrary to
the fundamental teachings of onr gov
ernment; and insisting virtually that
they, as individuals, propose hereafter
to decide what laws they shall keep
and what they shall break a condition
of things which, if it were permitted
to become general, would soon throw
law oat of the window and precipitate
literal chaos.
We are confident, it can be said in
tonclnslon, that this tangle will yet
Dnravel satisfactorily to tho best Inter
sts of Scranton and the entire com
munity. The moral force which is be
hind nil lasting law does not permit
o::e or two misguided men, howovor
excellent they mav bo as individuals,
to defeat its purposes. It rides serenely
nu to victory alike over the over zeal
ous extremes called Douyiem and the
Trotted opposition that placards its
challenges in shop windows. It is not
bigoted, not nurrow, not puritanical.
It will listen to reason and moot every
honest man more than half way. Like
Christ,it wants to lead, not to drag nor
foraa men. Dut it is not easily fright
ened and it certainly Is not easily
beaten. If law means anything it
means seemly obedience And the
very essence of law observance is
jeaporded whon men essay to choose
for themselves what statntas it pleusis
them not to violate at will.
In his latest wail, Henry Watterson
complains that the Democratic out
look does not brighten. "Tho con
fusion nt Washington," he assorts, "is
epidemic. The party is bewildered.
Chagrin among the rank and tile, pass
ing from amazvment to dismay, has
culminated in disgust. The party that
weathered so many headlands was
surely not born to die, but now it
would seem that nothing less than
complete reorganizitlon will rescus it
from complete disruption.'' The quick
est method of reorganization would bo
to kill it off and let the carcass rot.
Some good might germinate in such a
fertilization; but it would have to be
entirely different from Democracy as
it is evidenced today.
False Deductions.
Now that tho Monrno county grand
jnry lias expressed its inability to dis
cover tangible evidence connecting any
known citizen with the lynching of tho
negro Pnryaar, it will doubtless be said
that the inhabitants of Stroudsburg
have decided that the effort to rnu down
this deplorable broach of law and order
shall go no further. Wo are confident,
however, that such an assertion would
'lo them a gross injustice. The quali
fications nf good citizenship are tho
jatne in Monroe county that they nre
in any other. The obligation to re
spect and obey tho law is as strong in
its application to that community as it
is in its application to any other com
munity, anywhere. The best interests
nf that cjminu nity are to bo promoted
along lines of order nnd decorum just
as unerringly as nro the Interests of
any other locality or group of citizens.
It wonld be a wanton libel, we havo no
donbt, to infer that because n grand
jury proposes to shirk its responsibility
and officially bear witness to its own
obstinacy and dereliction, that kind of
grand jury service is generally ap
proved by tho repntablo citizenship
from whose neigh bornood such grand
jurors are drawn.
Hasty and tmrefbetivo persons may
deduce from this lamentable instance
of jury (inefficiency that lynching is
condoned' under aggravated circum
stances, by the concensus of opiniou in
Monroe couaty, Dut do they pauso to
calculate what such a deduction im
plies? Do they realize fully that the
sanctioning of lawlessness in one in
stance, however prevoking may have
been the particular circumstances of
that case, is logically nothing else than
an invitation to lawlessness nt uil
times? If the regular courts of Monroe
county be not adequate to tho proper
administration of j dittos in a case of
exceptional hoiuousness, Involving
cold-blooded assassination growing out
of unrelieved avarice, which is tho pro
pnsition affirmed in effect, if not in
words, by the lawless slayers of the
negro Pnryear, who of those engaged
in that fitful cpisodo will dare nftor
ward trust minor cases to its adjudica
tion? That which is inadequate to
momentous responsibilities is surely
not to bo trusted in connection with
subsidiary ones; and wo reach by re
lentlees logic the unhappy conclusion
of sweeping distrust of the law, from
which lawlessness in all forms is a
natural and indeed an inevitable out
growth. Wo nro moved to be thus elaborato
in this particular dlreotion by mason
of sundry intimations that oven the
good citizens of Stroudsburg were se
cretly glad when Puryoar was lynohed ;
and have not ainco had time to alter
that emotion. From euoh a belief as
this we deliberately recoil. It amounts
to a wholesale indictment of the inhab
itants of a reputable anil prosperous
neighborhood, as anarchists and revo
lutionists, in the tenor, if not in the
effect, of their opinions. We have rea
son to know that Buch is not tho trnth ;
that it is, indeed, so far from tho truth
as to b a deliberate slander, brntal
cruel and wholly undeserved. Respect
for the law, confidence in the law's
agents and supreme allegiance to the
Wise foundations of our present social
system are ourdinal and immutable
sentiments in Monroe. These senti
ments may not have found proper rep
resentation in the crand jury; but
they exist and they are bound yet to
become dominant, oven in jury rooms.
Wn like the tone of this paragraph
In the esteemed Carboudale Leader:
Newspaper conductors have always
found it. dillicult to convince writers for
their columns of tho good effect of signing
such contributions with their proper
linmeB. Tho uame of n reputubio citizen
to a communication on a public subject,
involving the safely of Uio community, is
always in order, and no uood mau should
for a inoment hesitate to subscribe him
self. This course fearlessly pursued will
soonor cryatalize a souud public opiniou
than cau be possibly called out by columns
of anonymous writing on 'public matters
of every kind. It is tiin fault of good citi
zens that the columns of nil newspnpera
do not contain more communications
signed in this way, nnd it is to be hoped
that the timo is not far distant when good
men will see the effect of- making their
needs and their wislieB known in this way.
There is nothing so creditable as a com
munication in a newspaper on a proper
publio aubject, signed by the full name of
tho writer.
So far as Tin-: Thihqne is concerned,
it wiil not print anything that a corre
spondent is ashamed to stand sponBer
for. It is an injustice to a newspaper
to expect it to stand tho bruut of the
opiuions of a contributor who is him
self too much afraid to acknowledge
them publicly.
What 13 needed in some places is a
sontiment that will not regard the
breaking of students' noses and the
promiscuous hurling of beer bottles as
necessary punctuation marks in the
progress of higher education. A col
legiau ought not to bo discredited at
school because he refines to give up
being a gentleman, as well.
C UN DAY
Observance.
In view of the widespread interest
shown in the local discussion of the Buuduy
probleui, Tua Timn m. today presents a
compendium of opinions soino of which
have boen sent to it in the form of letters
ior publication, and others being excerpts
from exchanges. This journal assumes no
responsibility for these opinions, but gives
them suloly as a mattor of news. The
first letter is Rev. John Davy's roply to
the lettor recently addrosed to him by Mr.
Van licntbuysen of this city. It is as fol
lows: Editor of The Tiiiiuinb:
Dear Sir: In Junius ' letters against the
abuses of certain members of the British
parliament wo havo a beautiful specimen
of tho stylo and manner In which discus
sions of any groat and important ques
tions should bo carried on in tho pulpit, In
the forum or by tho press, and ;we do not
thiuk there are nny two questions bofore
the American public today of moro im
portance than th liquor traffic aud the
American Sabbath. Tho tariff question
which has taken tho American Bouate eo
many weeks to discuss uud settle and it
is not settled yet is n mero bugaboo com
pared with obeying God's commands. Tho
one is u question of dollars and cents, tho
other of man's immortal destiny. In dis
cussing a question of such vast importance
to tho weltare of a great nation liko ours,
wo must have some starting point,
some standard of what is right
nnd what is wrong. If it is loft, to
the more caprice of men's opinions
We may talk or write until doomsday nnd
be none the wiser for tho discussion. Wo
take the Uiblo as our standard of morals,
a book that like the Hebrew children or
the buHli that Moses saw has passed
through lire aud smnke, but has come ont
nf tho struggle without tho smell of flro on
its covers. Outside of this the opinion of
James is worth about as much as that of
John. In the possession of our judges and
lawyers there tire books we call statutes,
and those statutes coutain luws that must
be obeyed for tho good of society no mat
ter whuthor it is steuliuu sheep or keeping
the Sabbath day holy. Our laws are based
upon the teachings of Christianity. We
therefore regard this as a christian na
tion. It was loundod upon that theory by
the pilgrims, and if it Is not why do wo
commit the felly of dating all our
documents in the transfer of real es
tate, etc., from tbe birth of the mua of
Nazareth? this question being settled by
the testimony of the pilgrim fathers, who
founded the nation, by tho almost uni
versal consent of our people, nnd by the
churches and steeples, in rirmaries, hospi
tals and homes for tho friendless from
Maine to New Orleans.
e 4 e
With this loug exordium we nre pre
pared to have a friondly talk with Mr.
Van lienthuysen upon this momentous
question to tLe ciuaena of tho United
hlates. Wo would not like to take per
sonal liberty in its broudost we as our
guiding star. H was tried once in France
and In less than ten years three millions
ot nun. an beings were butchered through
the iiilliience of a people who despised tho
Christian Sabbath, turned the ehuroheB
into theatres, and a proclamation wns ia
sued by the government that the Immor
tality of the soul and tho resurrection 01
the body were only preached by fanatics
for the torment of the living. Perhaps
llie personal liberty men of HorantOO think
that their brethren who urn lighting with
tongue and pen, aud yet uood naturedly,
for tho sanotity of the Sabbath are fana
tics. Bo let ft be. Our friend Van B
kindly says that if the teachers of Chris
tianity would follow more In the footstep
of their Master they would probably have
more followers. 1 behove It. But I sup
pOSO His countrymen called Hun n religi
ous fanatic, and the wiso men of Greece
called the great Apostle Paul who was
head and shoulders above any or all of
them a "bubbler," Act xvii In, and friend
V. bus the impudence to cull J. D, a
religious zealot. We thank him for the
opprobrium and would to God thore were
millions more not sucn ns I am, but such
as the Master and his early followers were.
We may have different ways of thinking
on religious subjects; still, wo nro brothers,
for we havo oue common Father who
makes His aim to shine upon the evil and
Upon tho good; hut 1 am sorry that Mr. V.
had not studied Webster nnd tho Now
Testament a littlo more beforo ho rushed
into piiut.
e e
lie has misquoted Webster by stating
within quotation mnrks thnt Webster's
detluitiou of religious liberty is tho priv
ilege of worshipping the Supremo Being
according to conscience. Conscience is u
poor guide for l'uul suid ho had lived in all
good conscience and yet ho was a murderer.
The poor blind heathens are worshiping
dumb idols today according to conscience -gods
of tholr own making, 'ihoro is no
such dellnition In Webster. We have his
unabridged and have looked it over care
fully. Then agaiu he quotes Webster a,
dcUuing civil liberty "A restraint of na
tural liberty, liberty not necessary or ex
pedient for the public good is tyranny or
oppression." Webster does not use such
naughty words, Then again, his memory
was at fault when he referred to Christ
as teaching that all days wore alike ac
cording to men's notions, whether they
would keep thorn sacred,;or not. The quota
tion is from Horn xiv-5, anil wns tittered by
Paul, but has no reference whatever to
the Christian Sabbath. The Jews
regarded their festival an2 fast days as
sacred as their Sabblitb, and imposed this
duty of keening those days holy upon the
Gentiles after they were converted to
Christianity, but the Gentiles did not
think it necessary to keep holy tho Jewish
festival and fast days, aud hence tho ar
gument of tho apostles. Wo mako these
criticisms to show tho weakness or tho
fallacy of tho arguments produced in favor
of violating tho Sabbath by buying or sell
ing, or doing ordinary work thereon. And
yet, oh, what a blunder to quuto John
Davy as being in favor of lynch law be
cause he quoted a passage from Numbers
xv, 82-86, a law enacted by the God of
Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, and roads
ns follows: "And while tho children of
Israel were in the wilderness they found a
man that had gathered sticks ou the Sab
bath day, and they that found him (thns
presumptiously trampling the laws of the
Almighty under his feel) brought him 1 1
Moses nnd Aarou.and unto all the congre
gation, and the' Lord said unto .Moses :
"The mnn shnll surely be put to
death: all the congregation shnll
stone him with stones without the camp,
nnd ho died ns the Lord commanded
Moses." The Jewish law had already
in.-. de the profanation of the Habbath a
capital crime, as iu ICz, xxx-H-15; 'iV
shall keep my Sabbath, for It is bolv.
Every one that dctUeth it shall surely be
pnt to death, for whosoever dueth nny
work thereon shall be cut off from nmoug
bis people. Six days mny work be done,
but ou tho seventh is the Sabbath of rest,
holy to the Lord. WhoBoever doeth nny
work on the Sabbath day shall surely be
put to death." And iu NehemiaU x 31: If
the people of Canaan bought any kind of
goods or victuals to sell to the Jews they
would not buy it of them on the Sabbath
day." Our friend, Van BentbuyBen, had
better appeal to the higher court aud got
these Inws repealed. He Bays the Sabbath
law of 1704 is superannuated, ff it is it is
as cloar as though it was written yester
day, aud wo think a man is wicked to vi
olate a law of the land, because it does not
suit his tuste. Such a spirit would up
root tho foundations of society.
Very respectfully,
John Davy.
Scranton, Pa., June 1.

A somewhat different opinion is thus
outlined in n letter writteu tor publication
by G. A. Slote:
EniToii ok The Tkihune.
Dear Sir Neither tho Babylonians nor
any other Geutilo untlon were ever com
manded by God to keep the Snbbuth day
holy. I can find no otlior people than thia
people, the Jews, that were ever com
manded to keep it holy. Tho first timo
that I can Hud fn the scriptures any hint
whatever of the Sabbath being bound
upon mnn is nt Mount Sinni, whore Moscb
gave tho childion of Israel tho law. Iu
Exodus, xxvi, as, we Hud the Hrat com
innnd thnt was ever given to mnn to keep
the Sabbath day holy.
In the twenty-ninth verso of the nmn
chapter He snys; "8eo for that tho Lord
hath given you the Sabbath (speaking
strictly to the children of Israel, not to all
mnukiud), therefore Iloglveth you on the
Sixth day the bread of two days. Abide
ye every man in his place." Some, then,
might ask what purpose God had in giving
this special day to jnst that one little na
tion when there were others turgor than
they. I should reply, becauso God wanted
to use tbem ns a type. Faul declares that
everything done through them was for
types and shadows of things to come. So
thiB Snbbath was only a type of the great
milennial Sabbath that was to come, and
when the Lord Jesus had finished all the
typeB and shadows under the law covenant
this Sabbath ordiuunce wns also fiuished.
With tho rest, says Paul, He (JesuB)
"blotted out the handwritings of ordi
nances that were against us, which was
contrary to us, aud took it out of the
way, nailing it to the cross," Colon
elans xlv. "Let no man judge
you in meat or In drink or in respect of a
holy day or a new moon or of the Sabbath
day," Col, 2: 18, which nre shadows of
things to come. And now, what seems so
st range to mo is thnt in the face ot this
scripture both ministers and laymen are
trying to bind this old Jewish yoke upon
us which neither thoy nor their fathers
were able to bear. Hemember, I am not
saying anything again -i a day of
rest from physical labor aud to
worship God according to tho dic
tates of our own conscience; but when
I hear men trying to iiiuKo it out a
holy day appointed of God and thnt it is
wicked to do this or that on this epecial
dny it is all moonshine and bosh and no
one can prove it otherwise from the scrip
turo. Yours respectfully,
G, A. Slotk.
In tho course of an editorial sustaining
the Dony movement in this city tho Car
boudale Herald says: "The latest effort to
avoid the enforcement of tho Suuday laws
iu Scranton is to confess tho violation and
pay tho line, receiving half the flno for
making the information. This is a sham
trick aud in the end it will not pay. While
tho law may be evaded by a technicality,
and we nro not sure that it enn be, the
moral sense of tho community will make
it a costly experiment. The tiecont law
abiding citizens will not patronize tho
mau who makes himself a Timinnl. This
country has no sympathy with anarchy,
and the man who violates one law becnuse
itdoes not suit his couvouienco will vio
late uuother. This nation needs to be
taught a higher regard for law. The Sab
bath is a divine institution and its sanc
tity hns been decreed by American law.
Wo need ono day in sevon for rest and
to nllow humanizing influences of religion
to tnke hold upoieus. Ho who toils seven
days in a woek bocomes too much like a
beast of burdou. No mnn hns so much nt
stnke In this matter as tho toiler. Ho will
find whon it is too late that if tho Ameri
can Sabbath bo destroyed it will be an in
crease of toil with no increase of wages.
In nearly every branch of lnbor we can
now muko inoro than we can consume. If we
increase our production one-Bixth,and that
U what Sabbath destruction means, how
shall wo iucrjaso our consumption iu the
ennui ratio?''
