Remarkable Sunday Law Case.
By Editor
Under this head the Alta has the following dispatch:— "Santa Cruz, March 9th.—The first Sunday Law case actually tried here, and which occupied the Court two weeks, resulted yesterday in a verdict of acquittal. A strong fight was made by the temperance people on one side, represented by the District Attorney, and the Traders' Association on the other side. Ten days were occupied in empanelling a jury, and the township was exhausted. This will probably end the prosecutions for the present." It is certainly to be regretted that the temperance people cripple their efforts by making it a Sunday issue instead of a temperance issue. Let each question stand on its own merits, and we believe that the cause of temperance would greatly gain thereby.
