One Cent. One Cent. Absolutely I ndcpcndcnf. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1891. it Must Be Answered. One of the questions uppermost in the public mind, and one which must be definitely answered in the near future, has to do with Sunday obser- vance. The particular form of that question with which the GAZETTE grapples to-day is that of throwing open the doors of an educational or industrial institution on Sunday, and general dis- cussion of this topic has been started afresh by that of the expediency of ad- mitting Sunday visitors to the' Colum- bian Exposition, or World’s Fair, in 1893. ' For many years influential citizens and newspapera in New York city have most commendably advocated the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Sundaysfias well as week~ days, but the champions of this praise- worthy suggestion encountered a for- midable special obstacle at the outset, saying nothing respecting the opposi— tion of church-going people generally. This was in the form of a wealthy elderly lady who years ago set aside a certain sum with which to meet the necessary : running expenses of the museum, and who threatened, when the Sunday; opening agitation first began, to with— 7 draw this maintenance if it were de— cided to open the doors on Sunday. Thus the matter rests in the Metropo- lis, but in the judgment of every un- biassed person, who has given the sub- ject the thought it so richlymerits, the time is not far distant when the masses .5 of self-respecting New Yorkers, whose 3 days of every week, will have all of the l benefits of this mute, but powerful, educational force. Out of the more than a million and " a half of population of the great city of . New York there are hundreds of thons- ‘ ands of respectable people whose only day of escape from the workshop or the tenement is Sunday. Many of these people attend at least one church ser- vice, usually in the morning, and in the afternoon, if the weather be favorable, they have an inexpensive outing. Quite often this is nothing more than a ferryboat trip to the Jersey shore or Staten Island, which enables the over- worked father or mother to get a- snifl' of old ocean’s breezes at a total outlay, even with several children in tow, of less than a dollar all told. And who is so bold as to assume that a dollar thus epxended is not the most judicious in- vestment for present pleasure and as a bracer for the wear and tear of the com- ing week that could be made? While the GAZETTE believes in so- briety and decorum on Sunday, and church services, also, it also believes that “the :Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.” And it is most emphatically not in sympathy with those people whose hands and voices are perpetually raised in horror at what they are pleased to term the dangers confronting us of “a Continen- tal Sunday.” If they mean by this a Sunday given over to revelry, licen- ‘ tiousnesi, brawling and carousing the GAZETTE will be found shoulder to shoulder with them in their endeavors to avert the threatened danger. But in these United States, even with the laws administered as loosely as they are generally, there’s about as much dan- ger of “a Continental Sunday” as of a destruction of the Atlantic by fire. The great mass of the people may be relied upon to cast their influence upon the side of law and order, and we are justified in including in this mass a large percentage of those who do not attend church, as well as all of those who do. 4 Last Sunday the writer was in Cen- tral Park and there saw thousands of neatly dressed people (a large majority evidently working people) spending the day in peace and happiness with their children and enjoying ‘ ‘without money and without price” the rich bounty of both nature and art. If there were but few church-goers in that vast throng, there was not, on the other hand, one intoxicated or disorderly person. There was neither shouting nor other unseem— ly conduct. All were happy, at least one day out of seven. And yet there would be as much sense in closing Cen- tral Park and the menagerie on Sun- day as there is‘in keeping closed the Metropolitan Museum with its varied art treasures, its mummies, its sarco- phagi, its wonderful paintings and stat- uary and everything else within its many recesses to see which constitutes, of itself, something of a liberal educa- tion. Therefore let the best influences possible be thrown around mankind on Sunday, in addition to those of our churches, and the world will be the better for it. ‘+._._._..___,_,,-_ Objected to the Dog. Lordly Brakeman—Madam, you’ll have to put that dog in the baggage car. I t can’t ride in here. Lady—It’s down on the floor, where it will not disturb anybody. “It can’t ride in this car, ma’am, I tell you. You’ll haveto carry it into the next car.” “I would rather not carry it.” “Then you can lead it there, can’t you?” “I don’t think I can lead it.” “What’s the matter with your driving it there?” “I don’t believe I can drive it, either.” “Well, I can, madam. I’m going to drive it out of the car, anyhow.” [Kicks the dog violently. It proves to be a cast iron dog.]——Chic:zgo Tribune. EA IE Y - N o E WALKG A ZEET E ALB ANY LEGISLATION. l . The Deadlock in the Senate Still, Bra mains Unbroken. ALBANY, April Ell—There was no prayer in the senate, the recess being on the pend- ing resolution on canal investigation. Senator Linson offered a resolution in- structing the committee on canals to re- port the non—partisan canal bill. Mr. Fassett made the point of order that it was the same resolution as that de- feated Monday night. The chair ruled the point well taken, Then Mr. Linson offered .the bill as a resolution and it was accepted by the chair. Much discussion followed on both sides of a personal and political character, and without accomplishing anything the sen- ate recessed until Wednesday at 11 A. M. In the Assembly. In the assembly: At ten minutes of 12 Mr. McClelland moved a call of the house with closed doors, and the chamber was cleared Of visitors. At 12 o’clock the call was suspended, but the chair announced that all passes issued by him were revoked, and that none but officers and members should be admitted to the floor. Mr. McClelland then Offered a resolution empowering the speaker to appoint a com- mittee of seven to investigate sheriffs and county clerks. By a party vote the resolution was adopted—66 to 49.

Mr. McClelland then offered a. resolution for the appointment by the chair of a com- mittee to investigate the affairs of the office of the health ofiicer of the port of New York, and ascertain whether the emolu- ments of that office have been shared by any political organization or persons other than the proper officers. » The resolution was adopted by a party vote. Mr. McClelland then moved the adop- tion of a resolution empowering the chair to appoint a committee to investigate primaries and conventions and ascertain whether money has been used at any of ' - ~ - ;them. The previous question was or- misfortune 1t is to be penned up Six ; dered and the resolution adopted by a party vote. Mr. McClelland’s next resolution author- ized the speaker to appointa committee of seven to investigate the canals. The resolution was adopted. Mr. McClelland then offered a resolu- tion authorizing the speaker to appoint ' another committee to investigate the sena- torial elections of 1881—5—7 to see if the charges made of bribery were true. Adopted after a long discussion. The Report on the liI-afia. WASHINGTON, April 29.—The report 01 UnitedStates District Attorney Grant, of New Orleans, on the Mafia trial, has not yet reached the department of justice, but is expected to arrive Wednesday. Attor- ney General Miller said that he did not in- tend to make the report public at this time. It was for official use, and Mr. Blaine would be acquainted with the facts contained in the report, or if he desired would be furnished with a copy of it. At some future time, when the report had subserved the uses for which it was made, it might be given to the press for publica» tion. Smallpox on Vanderbilt’s Yacht. N Ew YORK, April 29.——More smallpox is reported as having broken out on W. K. Vanderbilt’s steam yacht Alva. It appears that Dr. Smith of the quarantine depart ment boarded the Alva and found that another of the crew had a. well developed case of the disease, and gave orders that the patient be removed to North Brothers Island. The Alva is at anchor off Clifton, S. I.', and the residents think she should be quarantined in the lower bay. The Weather. Fair; winds shifting to southerly, and rising temperature.
