cinso the arrest of persons who violate
late the now Sunday la * ? . The agents
f the league made efforts to procure
arrests in a number of cases lust Mon
day , but as a rule they were not vrll
Hug to go to court aa.complainant
* nd the police were not disposed to
put themselves ont to assist in those
prosecutions. The outcome is tha
the law is a dead letter and the league
* failure. This is what has happenec
'a every city where Sunday laws am
strict prohibitory laws have been on
acted. The good people who clamor
for those laws are never willing to
make personal efforts to bring the
.law-breakers to justice and the police
are generally hired to "keep order" in

do so just ns often at thrco cents po

conrso business men , and eapceiill
bankers who have a largo correspondence

ivo doubt very much whether tin

less than three cents each. Of courj
if the government can carry letter

The trial of ono 'VTackorlo In 8t.
Louia developed pretty strong proof
that it la no easy for a living man to

of tha pension list -makes it morally
oertaic that a largo proportion cf the
pensioners are wicked impostors. Any
miscreant who robbed u wounded sol

The law , as now administered , offers
a premium on raao Hty and fraud , and
the proposition to publish the ponnion
rolls in each locality or district where
the poimionora reside -.would not only
put a stop to the imposition , bub would
rid the country of hundroda of bogna

THE OLD CATJOCB TRAP.
Monopoly organa in this state were
in has to to record the faot that Con
gressman GTaloutino had introduoad a
bill looking toward the taxation of
unpatontod lands claimed by the rail
way companion. The purpose wat ) ev
ident. The nowipapCM that paraded
this "heroic" and latter day effort of
Mr. Valentino evidently assumed that
the people would at onqr deduce
from this act another , to-wit : That
Valentino and those who nupported
him and with whom ho and his forcer
will labor shortly to elect * United
States senator , were anti-monopolists
good and true. Aa the time draws
near when the legislature cf this
state will meet at which a sen <
tor must' bo .chosen , it be
came Uglily important to carry
the conviction to anti-monopoly republicans <
publicans that Valentino is all right
on the autl-monopaly question ; and
more important still , that those anti
monopoly republicans should draw the
inference from Valentine's bill that
his friends , who will labor at Lincoln
to cecuro their mun for senator , wcro ,
llko Valentino , good anil-monopoly
republicans , It waa ouu of thoau acts
that a llttlo political magician would
quite naturally hold up to the juz9 of
men whom ho ton frequently casumea
are ready to applaud deception. Old

claim "dovilhh clover , " but then Joey

prone by for independent men of
any party , who happen to differ
with the "bcuses" on a nutter of prin
ciple , to bo read out of n party
for refusing to bo caught In the old
"party" caucus trap. When Iloscoo
Oonkling roti nod end sought n re
election in 1881 the party ciucus waa
the thing that waa to do it , but the
men who Bubjtquently elected Lip
ham and Miller , nnd not Cotikling and
1'Jatt , saw the device that apoko for
the result that would follow their at
tendance on a caucus , and th
That ref Dial defeated Conk
ling , nnd the effort to read out of the
party those who refuted to bo whipped
into a caucus has met with a disastrous
result in Now York. Without doubt
nn effort will bo made to secure the
attendance of enough republicans nt n
regular "party" caucus to control the
election of a conator , but the pledges
made to the tiooplo are too numerous
and all would bo broken by an attend-
anoo , for the reason that all will bo
bound by the action taken 'in caucus
by the majority , nnd 'iho only trno
way to redeem the pledges given Is io
Vomaln away until , at Icaat , It can be
soon what the real purpose of the
loaders io in the matter of a candidate
for senator , The poopMo will not bo
prepared to accept nny excuse for at
tending , and no man who weakly pure
his trust in a caucus promise wil
bo hoard for a moment by the
people in defense of hia action
