Tke Soaday law la aot aa attempt to enforce a religion observance of th Sabbath, bat to BMkc it a day of rest from labor. Herbert Bpeaccr says: "Th entanglement of social relatioa la aoch that ttc'a action of tea 1aialtaBeoely affect tbe welfare of elf, of oftaplag aad of fellow-cltixena," aad therein lie the seed of law.

Tbe fact that tbe food most reliabed whea we are angry become objectionable whea we art gorged la aagjrestive of tbe more vital truth that Kormaadlxiag aad fasting are ejnally fatal, spiritually a well aa physically. Th only eafe coarse thea I to eat only whea yoa are angry, some ooe will say bat, that will aot do for aome people avr have a healthy appetite, aad it la necessary that tbey sboald eat at stated Interval, whether tbey want to not. To qoot again from Spencer "In main taining their own live and fostering their offspnnz, men's adjustment of act to ends are ao apt to hinder the kindred adjastment of other men that Insistence oa th Deedfal lisalutlo. ha to be perpetoal; and the mischiefs caused by men's Interference with one another's Mfe-snbervlng action are so great that th Interdict have to be peremptory." Tbe object of a Sunday law is not to compel on man to yield to another, nor to aid od kid la binderies tbe ad ail ments of another man, bat to briog sboat the greatest possible amount of rest to the greatest possible a amber of people for the general good. Sunday obserr- ace 1 one of the great unwritten law of custom, and is enacted by formal statute only to prevent "the mischiefs canted by men's Interference with one another's action." Whenever tbe at tempted enforcement of tbl or any other law Is actuated by a carping or puritanical spirit, it is boand to fall hot enforced in a spirit of liberality to secure rest and InTijforallon, It caa not fait to touch a responsive chord in tbe maes.

Tbe question to Ie decided Is Dt should Sunday bo rally observed, but, how far can legal olervaoce go In deciding tUU it would well to ue couiioou rather than conscience, for, be it reuiemherrrf, the thatch Krew, tbe rack acu of wltchr were of coticieo'tU! orlzin. If Is to hate a 2unilay law enforced there must be a bw of general ftLrf luten-st la ttw matter. Tbe trouli heretofore ta tbit the xent.uiiiit uf ale peo ple ha teen mistaken for public sentiment, and xiUtlon of suNjt-ct have been readily traced to a perineal origin. Every go i citizen is lnU rented In fostering every thing thai tend to promote tae eaeral welfare, snd when a majority of tbe bet citizens remains paalve, tbe aalaral conclusion that tbe matter I unimportant to them. General business should undoubtedly be suspended on Saaday.

There 1 no occaloti for keening store open, a-d, whether be car a aay thing about It himself, every iioslne man should give heed to what be knows tbe public seatiiorct of tbe community in which he cioes buineMi: he la an ex-CeptioaaJ man who doe not conform to such sentiment. No one would say no cee could say, that there are sol occasions whea absolute necessity would jastiry a profesional or any other man in working exceptional cir-camaiaace which would fully warrant a ansa ia tally parsalns: his habitual week-iay tabor on Sunday, but sncb ex-teptiot ar rare.

Tn Mlaaisalppt constitutional convention ha been wrestling with the woman suffrage question, a a mean of defeating negro supremacy. Tbe gallant Mlssisslpplans, before Introducing their wives sad sweetheart aa a shield between themselves and tbe despised race sboald serionsly ponder the fate of woman suffrage in Kansas where, at tbe recent election the better claa of women, the class upon whom they relied moat, atayed at home and eft tbe ballot to tbe Ignorant and tbe vicious: and it fate whea adopted ta Utah a few year ago as an antidote for polygamy, wbea to tba disgust of the woman suf fragist, the poor "plural wives" whom they were trying to deliver from the "twin relic," turned ont snd gave it the Largest majority it bad ever received. It would not be a bad Idea for Speaker Beed to count a quorum, make a law and enforce It, requiring tbe constant prea-eaoe of every member's wlfetdanghter or sweetheart, If, as Mr. Mason Intimated, It would prevent coarseness upon the floar.

Bnt, as tbe presence of his own family bad not tbe refining Influence npon Mr. Mason which be declare Mr. Cannon' family -would bare upon Mr. Cannon, what Is to be done with tbe Mason's? Shalt tbey 'be mortared? Question. MiHiMC Beaton says tkat one of our best and wide-awake real estate men baa organized another big phosphate company ith a capital of 8200,000.

Tbe woman was resuscitated, and told of bis crime. He came near being lynched, but is in jalL His object was 85,000 iuurauce on ber tile. Thk Chicago Times and St. Louis Be-pobllc and other wealtiiy people are accusing Mr.

Carcoraa aad Edward T. 8teel, teetlfytng "to tbe very valuable services" rendered by Mr.

Hirst to th Centennial management la Philadelphia ta 1176: also a letter from Director General Kimball, coramenolag Mr. Hirst for his service at Atlanta In 1M3, where be was superintendent of the Department of Installation, and endorsed by President Alfred II. Colquitt and Treasurer S. M. Inman: and one from General Manager J.

M. Wright, thanking Mr. Hirst for his "valuable ser vices rendered whea there was much need of experience and skill" at Lota's-ville in 143; all going to show that our commissioner Is eminently filled for active and efficient work at tbe World's Fair. He being tbe only one of tbe national commissioners, we believe, who baa had practical experience with any of the great expositions, he Is not likely to remain exclusively in Florida's service as we could selOahly desire, but will probably be made chief of some nurcsa machinery perhap for which be Is lilted by nature and acquirement. Florida's position in Ue commercial world will be materially affected by a fine exhibit at Chicago In '3.

Tbe exhibit can be made creditable to tbe state and people of Florida, bot it might just a wen oc understood at tbe Mart, that no time Is to be lot in layiog tbe foundation for such an exhibit, and tbe Ural thing to do is for tbe peoplo to talk it over, tbiuk about It, and decide that whatever time and exertion are required, shall be forthcoming as needed, and also that Commissioners Ilirnt aud Tnrnbull shall be tuataiced In every cfiwrt tbey may make to advance Florida's Interest. Here I what the Times Union has to say By reference to a coramanication in this issue of tbe Times-Union it will be seen that Gov. Fleming made a most ex cellent selection in naming Mr. Joseph Hint of Tampa as one of tbe Florida commissioners to tbe Colombian expo sition oi Mr. UirMtieM Important pooitlotiS with the Centeunial ei(ottlon, wit the Atlanta Cotton and with the Louisville exposition, In all of which bis were bilily appieclat- ed.

Tbe author of tbe coniL'tuulcatiou referred to hicts at the possibility of tbe Kelection of Mr. Hirst to rill an fin porta nt position In tbe World's fair at Chicago, but It is certainly to le hoped thai he will accept no offers, however, flattering, hkb would lose to Florida even the stualicpt decree the services which be is expected to render her in connection with the American exposition of 1693. The penlnsaJar state will stand In need of all tbe aid which be can extend to ber, while at the same time her people would be glad to see him honored by being taken into tbe general management of tbe great fair, provided be could still labor in ber behalf. Tbe commisstou from Florida, as made np by tbe appointments already announced, is a follows: Commlsslsers Klchaid Tnrnbull of Montlceilo and Joseph Hirst of Tampa, with two alternate; woman commissioners, MlM K. Nellie Beck of Tampa with Mr.

H. K. Ingram of Jacksonville as alternate, and Mrs. M. C.

Bell of Gainesville, wlUi Mr. Harrison Beed of South Jacksonville as alternate. So far, tbe exact nature of the duties to be performed by thec hP not been defined, but hy are of courm In a general ay to look after the interesta of Florida In eery relation which the state iii-ty iear to the World's fair. Tbelr actite work at Chicago will probably not begin until four or five month prior to the opening of tbe exposition, a soon a tbe site for the fair at Chicago shall bare been r. iill decided upon the commissioner of tne tartcn tat' will doubtless be called upon to b.

-Iii tbe work ol arousing an active interest tbe people, looklLZ especially to tbe mat let of exhibit. Tbe TlmevUulon will doubtle be eenerally sustained lo It opinion when It makes the assertion that Florida has uever yet had an exhibit of ber resources wholly creditable to her or stall commensurate with her Importance as a field for tae easy production of wealth. She I not likely in tbe next quarter of a century to have an opportunity fordoing herself credit like that presented by tbe Wot Id's fair. Her ooraaiirsion I a strong one tbe best, in all probshility, that con have been selected. 1 he fair may seem a long way off, but there is little enough time interveuins for tbe work tbal must be done.

The sctlve Interest and aid of the most energetic people la every county tf tbe stale must enlisted, and it must be agreed at tbe outset that tbe stale shall do herself full credit ia tbe matter of exhibits, Tbe people must make np tbelr to give freely of tbelr time, their efforts snd their money in thl treat project. The commissioners are already duly impressed with the Importance of this, aad the Tlmea-UnKrn promises its aid to the full exTcul ol its abiiilv.
