lltlDAY VKIIKUAltY 8 1883
BDITOKIAL SMALL SUOT.
Tennessee to Alabama: Shake.
The council has temporarily removed its
night-cap. A createful community applaud.
Vincent like I'olk is described as "a pei-
fect gentleman." Both are very imperfect
men.
The object of the entertainment at Turner
hall to-night is a worthy one. It should be
well attended.
We want no religious form of Government.
The Legislature should quietly ignore the
petition of the fanatics who demand that the
Bible be read in public schools.
The Galveston News is becoming sus-
picious. It says: "The land 'speculators
were exceedingly active while the legislators
were talking. There were millions of monty
in the business."
Mr. Wortiiam has introduced in the
Legislature a bill prohibiting the importation
of deadly weapons. It should not be passed.
If there were a possibility that the provisions
of the bill could be enforced that the effect of
Us passage would be to prevent all sales of
weapons and deprive the festive cowboy and
the city desperado 'of means of furnishing
undertakers with business no sensible person
would object to it; but none will venture to
assert that if the bill became a law the hip-
pockets of our border ruffians would not
present quite as bulging an appearance as at
present. Should the Legislature favorably
consider Mr. Wortham's proposition peace-
able citizens would be prevented from obtain
ing means of defending their property from
midnight marauders and their life from as-
sassins while the dangerous criminal classes
would not fail to find a way in which they
might secure possession of the knives re-
volvers and slung shots which are the tools
pi their vocation.
True grisette has disappeared from Paris.
Young bard-working generally living alone
the student whom she never dreamed of mar-
rying was at once her friend and her idol.
Gowing side by side inthe Quartier Latin the
companionship of the two classes was inevita-
ble. They went hand in hand to the Closerie
des Lilacs the Grands Eaux at Versailles to
the rout the .supper; took long rides in the
country and plucked flowers by the wayside.
These were halcyon days and bolh were
happy. Yet there were tears as well as laugh
ter for the grisette was but mortal and her af
fection for Alphonse was as great perhaps as
that of the high-born lady he mentioned in
the tear-stained note in which he sadly wrote
of the partincboth had dreaded. Until then
she was giy. A child of the earth she en-
joyed all its gifts. Her coquetries were her
cap of white linen decked with giy ribbon
her snow-white collars and cults simply em-
broidered the neatest of hotlines and a stock
ing that showed not a wrinkle. She wore
neither hat nor dress of silk or satin for to
have been seen in either would have ensured
a loss of her caste. She grew with the king-
dom she fell with the Empire. When the
Kepublic came she began to disappear. Ne-
cessary expenses had quadrupled the moral
tone of society had become lower. There
were more rich men but greater poverty So
is it now and Paris has lost pne of ill charms
8A1UIATU IIK9T AND KECKKATION.
The passage of a Sunday law by the Texas
Legislature has attracted public attention to
the ever-interes'ing subject of Sunday obscrv
ance. The law as amended provides that
with the exception of railroads drug stores
provision houses and newspaper establish'
ments no place of business shall be kept open
between the hours of 9 a. m. and 3 p. m. on
the Sabbath. In comparison with the Sunday
laws of many other States tins' one is reason1
able and will no doubt meet with the
approval of a majority of the people of Texas;
yet it is questionable whether any legislation
on the subject is proper. If the reader will
but reflect a moment he will agree with the
writer that among Christians there Is really no
Sabbath to be observed. When they speak of
the Sabbath they are ior the time being
Jews in belief. Hut even the Jewish Sabbath
as a positive religious ordinance should be to
Christians without foundation for Jesus de-
nied there was ever a day of rest when he
said " My father works hitherto and I work."
His conduct was yet stronger; he repeatedly
violated bolh the Pharasaic and the: Mosaic
laws for the Sabbath. When reproved for so
doing he plainly intimated that the Sabbath
was to be observed as man chose "The son
of man is master of the Sabbath." Says Kev.
Albert Barry D. D. canon of Worcester
The notion of a formal substitution by
apostolic .succession of the Lord's Day and
the transferrance to it perhaps in a spiritual
ized form of the Sabatical obligation estab-
lished by the promulgation uf the fourth
commandment has no basis whatever either
in holy scriptures or in Christian antiquity.'
Read St. Jerom: "All days are the same to a
Christian." Read St. Augustine; he says
there Is no obligation on a Christian to keep
any Sabbath: "The observation of that kind
of Sabbath which consists in the rest of a
single day is no longer a duty for the faithful."
Luther too: "If anywhere the day is made
holy for the mere day's sake if anywhere any
one sets up its observance on a Jewish foun-
dation then I order you to work on It to ride
on it to dance on it to feast on it to do any-
thing that shall remove this encroachment on
Christian liberty." Lastly "The Angsburg
Confession" that grand preparation by Mel-
anctlio for entire Protestanism what do we
see in it ? "Those that judge that in the
place of the Sabbath the Lord's Day was in-
stituted as a day to be necessarily observed
are greatly mistaken." There are the author
ities. What say you? Is there one word of
positive divine command for the observance
of a day of rest ? Searcfi the scriptures ; you
will not.find it there. Dive deep into antiquity;
there too you are lost.
Granting that we have no divine authority
have we any reason for observing the Sabbath?
Certainly but no reason for selecting Sunday
except that it is now customary to do so. We
need a day of rest of relaxation; the Sabbath
s that or should be. Centuries ago man
powerful gifted with greater vitality than we
of the present day seldom or never needed
rest. It was Tu him a luxury. Years passed
and the race of man now competing now
straining every nerve to Its greatest tension
found recreation rest necessary. The more
advanced we become the more pressing is the
necessity for the more advanced we become
the harder do we work.
But who shall dictate to us how we shall
spend our day of cessation from labor ?' Is
not the action of any Government in this
regard an encroachment on our liberty ? We
are free. Free to do what ? To act as we
choose provided our conduct does not Injure
our neighbors. Free to satisfy our craving
for that mental food denied to
n our days of labor; to re
ceive instruction Irom a sermon in
church; to breath the pure air; to walk to
ride; to congregate in public places and
amuse ourselves instruct ourselves;by listen-
ing to music; to dance; to sjng; to visit public
libraries art museums gardens and concerts.
Can we do this on our work-days? Yes we
who are rich we who ride In carriages who
have servants to heed our every beck and
call we of the upper class the Mammon
born aristocracy. But we who are poor
Ah I pause reflect ; it is impossible for us to
leave our stores our offices our picks and
shovels the utensils of our trade be we
doctors lawyers journalists or street laborers
impossible for us to rest whenever so disposed.
It is for us the workers of society the great
foundation on which the whole social fabric
lies for us who are the brains and' bone and
sinews of civilization for us the day is set
apart. It is ours; take not an hour not a
moment from it. But do we have
It when our law makers say this
minute-you must do this and that minute you
must do that ? So have our servants said to
us. "No place of business shall be open on
Sunday." The concert hall it Is a place of
business; gardens most of them places of bus
iness; art museums tho ticket seller is at the
door; libraries there are the paid librarians
who remind you of business by nsking for
your ticket of membership and churches
well are they not places of business too ? We
must not even refresh our worn-out bodies and
mines by entering parks to listen to music ba'
cause the musicians are-paid for the instruc
tion and amusement they afford us . Cleaily
our legislators have erred Sunday is a day
