At the ccming Vession of the Indiana l. gislature a bill should be liitroduc- * d utd j arsed, j osilively fn'rbiddiug tl:e running cr trains, on Sunday. Other States are turning their attenti«»ti to this subject- We do not l»e ]icv.e it to be necessary to run Sunday trains and n taw parsed in accord ince vlth thextivine injunction would do P*hml ifionooue*el*eit would he a great 1 °° n to the overworked"employes of tue different roads. Sunday trains, Sunday excursions, Sunday camp meeting and Sunday desecrations genJ rally, are nuisances and should be abated.—Warren Republican. A good thought, and a<* the editor of the Republican will be a member of the next house of representatives we shall look for him to take the initiative in this matter! The coming leg Mature w ill be well employed if it ac* eomplish nothing more, than the lighting of existing wrongs. The oxerturned amendments will demand attention os one most important item* cl the seme time with which, it would 1 e well, and may save future special legislation, to provide nti-ninendnient i »«?n the liquor question. A stiong 1 rev-ure will likely la? brought to bear Upon the legislature this win. let by the temperance people of the t late, favoring a prohibitory law. ‘ The Supreme Court rendered a deri»ioii makiiig lawful tlie sale of ci* bars on Sunday. ' This decision should engage tlie attention of our law makers * 1 f tlie smoking of a ci-t-ar m. Sunday is a physical necessity. m. ihe sale made lawful that the ne- * rse*iy limy be supplied, then bread I ring a physical necessity on Sunday, t*sen for tlie take of consistency, the sale ..thread on that day should be l.iadc Ikwiul that this necessity’ m y I e supplied. The present mid wrath- * r demonstrates the ncce*sity of having fire to keep us warm on Sunday is on other iUy». If it is necessary to i-»ake and sell bread or to sell cigars uii bunday, it is fully .us great a necessity !■> provide wood on Sunday with v hieli to bake the and to keep the body warm, and so on ad- Infinitum. By proceeding with the argui -cut iu this way, r.s the course of the t npreine Court would seem to indi *-tie, w* would abolish Sunday alto. ’|.ether.
