ll.'a F.,wily P&ills aret the best
'Mayor Capdevielle on tnn Sunday
Law.
A few days ago the new Mayor of
New Orleans was interviewed by the!
Times-Democrat reporter in regard to
vatious mattets, and, among other
things, in regard to the Sunday Law.
The Mayor is reported to have said,
that every law should be enforced,
Jut that when it was founl I that a
law was Impracticable, and could not
be enforced, it should be repealed.
lie said that it had been demounstra
ted that the Sunday law, so far as
the city was concerned was an im
practicable law, but he (lid not think
that the country mem ,eri would vote
for its repeal. lie had been informed
that the law could not be enforced
and he regarded it as an impracticable
measurie.
With part of the statement of the
new Mayor we agree, and that is
where he states that when a law can
not be enforced, it shourd be repeal
ed. If the Mayor had stopped there
in his interview, we would not have
disputed his proposition, but the evi.
(leut animus of the chief executive
of the Crescent City manuifeat itself
very clearly as being an enemy of
the observance of Suunoy, when he
gives expression to the disingenuous
statement, that the Sunday law can
not be enforced in New Orleans. He
should have been manly enough to
have said openly, that he did not
propose to enforce the law. True, if
he stated the matter in those broad
terms, ae would have proclaim-ed
himself an otflicial who has no regard
for his official oath, when that oath
comes in coutlict with his hostile at
titude to the Sunday law, but Mr.
Capdevielle would have appeared as
a man at least who has the courage
of his convictions.
It was pretended, heretofore, that
the Sunday law could not be enforced
in New Orleans by reason of the fact,
that no juries could be found to
convict, so uniFopular was the law
considered by the majority of the
peop!e of the city. This was cer.
taimly a reflection on the character of
the men who are called upon to
discharge jury duty in the criminal
courts of New Orleans, and we have
always refused to believe that the
majority of the juries empauneed in
Sunday law vio:ations could be found
to so perjure themselves as to disre.
gard the law of tle cases presented
to them when the facts justified a
couviction. We can not believe it
possible tha, wore than two or three
juries at the most can be found in
New Oricans, so destitute of the
moral sense as to disregard their
solemn oaths as to acquit Sunday
law violators when their guilt was
clearly established. We have always
thought that the real reason why the
Sunday law was not enforced in New
Orleans was because the District
Attorney had not the courage to
offend the element opposed to the
Sunday law by fearlessly prosecuting
each and every one who violated the
law.. We are satisfied that if the
District Attorney had acted accord.
ing to his oath of otfice, he would
have announced that he was deter
mined to enforce the law even if he
had to sulmit his cases to every man
in the cilv of New Orleans liable to
jury duty. If he had done that,
there would have been no trouble inl
enforcing the Sunday law, and it
would have been producing the bene
ficent effects for the city of New
Orleans that it is having here in the
parish of Luafurhele and various
other portions of tne State where we
have Judges on the bench, determin
ed to enforce every law, whether it is
unpopular or not.
The objection that no juries can be
found to convict in a case of viola
tion of the Sunday law is no longer
tenable, for the Comlitutiou of the
State empowers climinal courts to
try all mtisdemeanors without juries.
As Sunday law offeuces are nothing
but misdemeanors, all that is needed
is to file an ffidlavit or an informsa
tion against any one violating the
law, and try the cases before the
criminal courts. If the criminal
J udges of New Orleans are true to
their oaths of ,,fice, they will very
soon see to it that the Sunlday law is
enforced in their iurisdiction.
Mayor Capdevidlle is right when
he says that the legislature will not
repeat the Sunday law, for, as he
says, the countiy members are op
posed to its repeal. The country
members have the we:fare of their
constituents at heart, and hence,
believe it to be their duty to vote
against any attempt to aboiish what
has worked so well in practice in
their parishes. They are not so
illogical as to believe that it the
Suuday law is a good thing for their
constituents, it must be an equatly
good thing when applied to the con.
ditiouns of city life. They realize, no
doubt, that if the Sunday law, as
.-perated in the country afiords a
needed rest to employcs in shops,
factories and stores, it must produce
the same beneficent result when
placed to operation in the cities
where the employea forced to labor
on 8unday are more numerous than
tbhey are in country districts. The
country members of the lt.gislature
klnow Ltat the ctoplic who clamir fir
the repeal of tl e Sunday law are not
those who are compelled to stand
behind a counter for seven days a
week, and be deprived of the abillty
and privilege of enjoying the rest
which nature intended that they
should have. They know that the
persons who do not want the Sunday
law on the Statute-book are those
who care naught for the condition of
their fellow men in enforced servi
Lotde, or who thoughtlessly believe in
liberty for themselves while willing
that others should be bound down to
the chariot wheel of commercial or
business interests. Others again are
opposed to the Sunday law for the
rdtson, that they confouni liberty
with license, and think that restraints
should not be impo3ed upon the
citizen, but that he should be at
liberty to force his employea to labor
for him unceasiugly~ without rest or
recreation, as if employcs were mere
macnines, having no rights that any
one is bound to respect.
The Firemen's Parade.
On Wednesday occurred the an
uual parade of the Thijxlaux Fire
Department, and it is the uuiveisal
opinion of those who witnessed it
that this year's celebration surpassed
that of any previous year.
Five companies in uniform parti
cipated in the parade this year,
whereas, heretofore, only four com
panius were in line. The newest
addition to the Fire Department was
the Brooklyn Hose Co. which, though
youngest in point of orgauization is
the peer of any of the older cowrpa
unies as respects etticiency.
This town may well feel proud of
its fire compauies, for, we do not
believe that in any part of the State
.o there a better organized depart.
ment in the volunteer service than
the one which so zealously guards
our hearths and firesides here from
the devastating element. Our fire
Department is not only a fine body
of men on a parade, but it is seen to
',eual advantage when fightiig a
tire.
The parade of this year started
from the court house square, and.
headed by Hun. Andrew i ice, as
Grand 3larshal, with one aid from
music inaterpeised in the procession,
the five companies ut the Department,
each preceded by its Mareats and
foilowed by its honorary members in
carriages, went down Main Street to
Jack-on, down Jackaon to Baker, up
Baker to Lower Canal, then along
this street to Market, up Market to
Green, down Green to Rose, from
Itese into St. Phi:ip and thence, to
the point of departure, where the
parade was dismiattd.
After housing their engines and
trucks, the various companies gath,
ered in the grounds of the Opera
House, where they were entertanued
with music by the bands. Lunch was
then announced, and, after justice
had been done to the eatables pro.
vided, the firemen were invited to
visit the hall of the Tuxedo Club,
where the Grand 1Marshal and his
aids were waiting to receive the
firemen. In order to prevent over.
crowding, but one company at a time
were invited into the Club-room. It
is needless to say that the fremen
were vert hospitably entertained by
the distinguished Grand Marshal and
Aids.
The evening was spent in serenad
ing 'arious perbous in the town, and
it was after ten P. &I. when the last
strains of the bands and the cheers
of the happy itemen died away on
the streets.
It would be ividious to speak of
the various decoiations uaett isn the
parade in terms of comparison, and
it will suffice to say that good taste
and elegance preslded over the ar
rangements by which the taucks and
engines were made to take on their
gala dress.
The streets through which the pa.
rade passed were lined wlih beautiful
ladies and children in holiday attire
and this was not the least of the at
tractions of the tiremen'a holiday
procession.

Last Sunday was one of the "wet

rainfall of nearly eight inches. From
1 P. M., Sunday to 1 A. M. Monday,
there was a steady downpour. Con
siderable damage was done to the
