The Constitution lias the following
Interesting and Impartial editorial on
the question of the Sunday closing of
the World’s Fair:
' “The World’s Fair committee of the
House of Representatives Is again
hearing arguments upon (he question
of an open nr closed Columbian Expo
sition mi Sundays. It will be recalled
that when Congress agreed to give
government money and aid to the Fair
It was stipulated that the exhibition
and grounds should be closed to the
Dublin on Sundays. Now the Chicago
blty and fair authoritiesnre seeking to
have that proviso Repealed.
“Whether the Sunday showmen or
the Sabbatarians win. this bnttle It Is
scarcely probable that the event will
be decisive for the future. If the
Chicago people win it is very evident
that there will he immediately organ
ized among the church Sabbatarians
one of the most soluble and strenuous
crusades, both against the exposition
and the congressional decision, that
any country has ever experienced.
The Habbntnrlans assert that their
protests,are signed by 12,000,000 names
representing 40,000,000 of the popula
tion of llih country,
“On the other hand those who pro
test against enforced Sunday closing
of the Fair argue that such a provis
ion Is a blow at State’s rights in that
Illinois alone should regulate this
local question, that It ia a withholding
of a liberty personal til every citizen,
that It is nn unconstitutional restric
tion In that It Is legislation respecting
n purely religiously Issue, that Snb
bntnrlnnlsin and the proper regulation
of Sunday as n rest day nrc two widely
different matters, nnd, Instly, that the
rncrcntlve nnd educational interests of
the workingmen demand that the Fair
should be open on Sunday.
“These positions are so wide npart
nnd so vitally antagonistic thnt there
la no possibility of formulntlnga com
promise between theme Congress
must adhere to the Supreme Court
dictum thnt this is a Christian nation
and Sunday n holy day of the Moslac
order, therefore the Fair must be
closed; or, ft must separate Itself from
every fact of history, oustom of Chris
tian discipline and claim of govern
ment responsibility for the regulation
of Sunday rest or observances, and
turn the conduct of the Fair over to
the local authorities and Sunday oper
ations,
“Each citizen of this great republic
will look at this question through the
lenses of his own prejudices, noil suf
fer elation or disappointment ns the
decision limy fall. Over nml above
this patilotilnr Instance, but really
running upward through It, i» the

From Tm-mlay's Kvenlng Herald.
The Hkiiai.u'h dispatches to-dny
chronicle the dentil of Justice L. Q. C.
Lamar, which occurred Inst night in
Macon.
Justice Lnmnr was n native Geor
gian and a graduate of Emory College.
In Inter years he moved to Mississippi
and was n member of Cotigreaa from
thnt State. During Mr. Cleveland's
administration he was appointed a
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States from the State of Missis
sippi, whloh office he held up to the
time of his death.
Among his compeers nn the Supreme
Court bench Justloc Lamar was highly
esteemed both for his ability and his
noble qualities nnd manhood. He hns
been nn adornment to the benoli and
an honorto his country,and it will be
with deep regret that the nation will
chronicle his denth. .
A I*I KK IIAI.I.OT.
uch
With Justice Lamar’s death comes
; question of an appointment, by
sident Harrison, to the seat thus
jde vacant on the Supreme bench.
s is muob talk as to whom he will
teud the i honor, but more to the
nt Is the question ns to whether the
-sident should have his appointment
"tiled by the Senate within a few
t of the end of his term. The
ent was set by the Republican
> just four years ago in the case
’mpertant appointment made by
eveland, which the Senate re
el confirm. Will the Repudi
ate, in this instance/adhere to
- itself?
The Savannah papers, both the Press
and News, aro strongly advocating
such steps as will tend to purify the
ballot throughout the State, and as
they nre In earnest they begin at home
and talk to the Savannah people about
the oarelessness with whloh their bal
lots is managed.
This is one subject upon which the
press of the State should be practi
cally unanimous If it is not already.
Theoretically the basis of our Govern
ment is a perfectly pure ballot, and
the ends of the Constitution are de
feated when fraud is practiced, as is
often the case in many localities. The
Ideal Republican government requires
that the ballots be free from all fraudu
lent manipulations and all traffic, but
to reach the Ideal, the pure ballot
must exist not only in theory put in
practice.
There is a general crusade going on
111 the State against any nml all fraud
ulent elections, and it is to be hoped
that the outcome of it all will be to
turn the voting public in arms against
It.
For the past few months there seems
to have been a greater mortality
among men of prominence than has
been noted for some years, and the
news nr one’s departure from this
world has sped nlong sometimes side
by side with news from the deathbed
of mint Iror.
The fall and winter months seem to
have a peculiar fatality for great men,
and while for several years past their
deaths were not so frequent as they
have been this, it is odd enough that
most of them occur during these
months. It is probably the case that
such men often suffer from some mal
ady under which they hold up to the
last moment, and the severer weather
experienced In the winter may bo the
last strain which carries them down
to a bed of illness nnd perhaps to
denth.
Since October there have 1 passed
away several of the greatest or mod
ern literary lights, among them
Whittier, Curtis, Renan and Tenny
son; two members of the present
Senate have within thnt time joined
the list; two men, who, several years
ngo, were most prominent In the
nation's nfl'airs Duller and Hayes
nnd then, Bishop Rrooks, one of
America’s most prominent divines,
nnd now is read the death notice of
Justice Lnmnr, and the gradual failing
of Illnine, These are only a few of
the most prominent nnd best known,
but Gie death record for the past few
months nuiong well-known oharaoters
hns liepn something enormous.
As each of these old landmarks
passes away there Is made some place
a atep higher for one of the younger
generation which Is fast, coming to the
front. Some of them however, with
peculiarities of theirown, Interest and
delight in a way that can never bo re
produced or luiltnted, but their deaths
wljlle deeply deplored, have made roopi
for n rise somewhere among one
least, of Hip coming race.

A writer in the New York World
says:
As Illustrating, the way in whloh
General Butler trented the spoon-myth
the heat story is the one which tells of
a chap who threw a spoon at him dur
ing one of Ills speeohes.
With mock haste the general grabbed
It up, thrust it into his pocket null
shouted: “There’s one 1 didn’t get!”
As a mutter of history, however, It
should be remembered that after the
civil war, when Butler was in Con
gress, the question of the “spoons”—
really a lot of gold nnd silver plate
which ho had seized— came up before
thnt hnily. The general simply put
his thumbs in the nrmholds of his
waistcoat, cocked his eye on the in
quirers, nml told them that when those
“spoons” bail been tnken they were im
mediately forwarded to the United
States trensury. They were found
there, and the spoon-myth was explo
ded.

A correspondent in Elizabeth nsks
us to state for his benefit the total
number of Union soldiery killed in
battle during tho-clvil war.
According to the statistics compiled
by the provost Marshal General’s of
fice, and generally nocepted nqauthbri-
tntlve, the total number of violent
deaths in all of the Union nrmtes dur
ing the whole war wns 93,909.
The total number of deaths during
the war from woumis in battle, from
disease and from unknown causes wns
304,309.
We may add that the total of pen
sions in force on account of alleged
services in the war is rapidly up-
proaohing the round million, and that
one mouth ago the number of claims
of all sorts pending in the Pension
Office wns 770,087.
