WiLsoN, Brooklyn, New York. TOPICS find COMMENT. THE Spainards cheer for a republic, but they pay. taxes to aud fight for a monarchy. HoN. CARL ScHURz seems to he one White House dinner ahead of Hon. Wavne MacVeagh. Ir the President issues an order pro- hibiting Indians leaving their reserva- tions, will he include the tribe of Tam- many? Gov. Warre, of Colorado, seems to have sized up the origin of the periodi- cal Indian troubles in his state when he charged it to the greed of Indian agents. SEPTEMBER 11th has been selected as Silver day at the World's Fair. Gold day will be celebrated later, in Congress, unless the plans of the President miscar- ry. Tue Civil Service scare-crow is now be- Jing trotted out in all his hideousness, ev- ery time the administration asks for the resignation of an official at all prominent. Gentlemen, why this humbuggery ? SENATOR DAvID B. HILL has been run- ning a machine so long that his deliver- ing an address to the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers excited nobody. He ought to be almost eligible to member- ship in the brotherhood. Cricaco thinks Sunday is just as good as any other day to rake in the shekels of the visitors. So evervthing is to be run a wide-open-seven-days-a-week schedule, and if that doesn’t catch the dollars fast enough, an all-night addition will be made. upon TrE President and the members of his cabinet may be quite as tired of receiving those who are after places as they are represented to be, but none of them seem to have taken a short cut to a long rest by resigning. In private life when a fel- low gets tired of his job he gives it up. WE have laws against gambling, yet the fact was published all over the coun- try that Jim Keene won $1.500,000 on the deal that resulted in the downfall of the cordage trust, and no arrests have been made. Newsboys are jailea for risking a nickel at craps, and the majesty of the law is vindicated and apparently satisfied. ONE of the inevitables frage. The constant advancement of women in the professions; their high rank in colleges; the widening of their legal and official rights in all the states; their full political rights in the state «of Wyoming; the adoption of their political cause by the Populist party: and last, but most marked of all, the espousal of the cause of equal political rights for women by the National Republican League at Louisville, all unerringly indi- cate the near success of a cause so long and strongly advocated by many of the ablest minds in this nation.—Ex. is woman suf- SoME of the preachers of the country are announcing that unless the World's Fair gates are closed on Sunday, they will do all in their power to make the big exposition a financial failure, by urg- ing their congregations not to attend it. Perhaps they will do just as we have known some of them to do in the matter of attending circuses—urge their mem- bers not to attend, then sneak around and take in the show themselves. Since there are to be religious services on the Fair grounds on the Sabbath, and all work suspended as far as possible, we fail to see where the harm of Sabbath opening comes in. Jorn J. INGALLS vigorously and justly scourges President Cleveland for the lat- ter's frequent denunciation of office seek- ers. Hesays: ‘Mr. Cleveland, who has been one of the most persistent and in- veterate office seekers of the age—district attorney, sheriff, mayor, governor and three times nominated for the presidency —takes frequent occasion to scourge of- fice seeking, apparently forgetting that the ambition to become postmaster is as respectable and as laudable as the ambi- tion to be president, and that to the com- munity he serves, a postmaster is quite as important and fully as necessary us a president. The only difference is in de- gree, and not in kind.” Tue cry of pessimists of the Henrv George school that while ‘‘the growing richer the rich are poor are growing poorer,” a cry which spreads gloom and dangerous discontent, starts with the as- sertion of Henry George that wages are lowest where capital is abundant and where the best machinery is used. This assertion, like all his main statements, is contrary to facts. Hereis the truth from that fair and reliable statistician, Carrol D. Wright: “It may be said that ma- chinery has increased the number of un- employed. This, I think, is not true. England has the most machinery and the greatest ratio of people employed to popu- lation. Russia has the least machinery, and the greatest ratio of unemployed. Machinery means the survival of the greatest number in the greatest comfort, Wages have doubled since the day of hand-work, and while prices of some necessities have increased, most have de- creased.” —American Economist. TrE Lancaster New Era is right when it says: We have always held that the man who enters into a dicker with deal- ers in green goods is just as bad and just as culpable as the dealers themselves. The aim 1n both cases is precisely the same—to swindle some one. In fact. we are not sure whether the man who buys is not worse than he who pretends to sell. The latter does not even sell counterfeit monev—he only pretends to do so and substitutes something else—whereas the would-be purchaser wants counterfeit money and proposes to put it off on oth- ers. This view has at length been taken by the courts, and Judge Phillips. of the [Inited States circuit court at Springfield. Ill., decided that an individual who buys or offers to buy ‘‘green goods” is equally guilty with the seller of the same. A prosecution of these would-be purchasers is about to be begun in Missouri, and 3,000 letters are in the hands of the law officers from persons in that State and Arkansas, making inquiries and offers for this class of merchandise. THE opening of the World's Fair grounds on Sunday pleases the majority of the American people. Sunday open- ing may not be right in the sight of God, but it is just as right as many things that are carried on these days in the name of religion. The church fairs, for instance, where we frequently see games of chance, which are gambling devices pure and simple. The majority has a right to rule, and no government has a right to pose as a Christianizing institution. Christ did not make it compulsory upon the people to obey the Christian command- ments, and what right have men to do so? Every man must work out his.own soul's salvation. No man has a right to do. anything that will interfere with the natural rights of and if the World's Fair grounds being open on Sun- day would interfere with any person's worship or natural rights, in any way, then there should be a rigid law compel ing the gates to be kept closed on that day. But such is not the case, and be- sides that, there is no more harm in stroli- ing about the World's Fair grounds on Sunday than there is in professed Chris- tian people going out on that dav for a pleasure drive in the family or livery carriage. Tis true that admission fees will be charged and refreshments sold on the grounds, but is not the same thing done at church camp-meetings on the Sabbath day? Nine-tenths of the people who are harping about the World's Fair heing open on Sunday are Sabbath break- ers in many things as bad or worse than strolling about the Fair grounds on that day, others, IT has been announced that the gates of the great Fair will be wide open on next Sunday and - on each Sunday there- y after, thus putting the laboring man and those who must pay the admission fee on an equal footing with the free-pass class, so far as the privilege of Sunday sight- seeing goes. The thousands of people who visited the outside side-shows and Sunday sa- loons on last Sunday and the Sunday be- fore will now be given an opportunity to pass the day in innocent amusements and instructive sight-seeing. Those who were shut out from the Fair grounds by the closed gates on the two last Sundays did not turn therefrom and attend the serv- ices in the various churches; they took in Buffalo Bill's Indian show and the oth- er entertainments whose doors were not closed. It is a fair inference that there was more disorder and dissipation in the vast crowds than there would have been had the gates of the Fair been open. The ‘‘day of rest” was made for man, and not man for it, as the Sabbatharians seem to think; and it might be well to remember that there are other and better ways of resting than by shutting one’s self up in the house for a whole day. People who are impelled by the true spirit of Christianity will, after having attended to their religious duties on Sun- day, not deceive themselves and others by false notions concerning the proper observance of the day, but they will seek that healthful exercise of both mind and body that recreates and rests. So, where can the residents and visitors of Chicago find this rest and recreation in greater degree than inside the Fair inclosure, and they should not be deprived of them by narrow-minded legislation.—Somerset Standard.
