The Legislature and the Sabbath
By Editor
The New York Observer remarks that there are at least two classes in that community who can "look upon the record of the last Legislature with feelings of profound satisfaction. They are the liquor dealers and the pool-sellers." There is yet another class who, along with these two, ought to look upon that Legislature with profound satisfaction. To satisfy a capricious demand of the churches, that same Legislature made the Sabbath of the Lord a half-holiday. Perhaps, however, the satisfaction on their part will not be so profound as is desired until the Sabbath is made wholly a holiday, and the Sunday rigorously enforced upon all people. But with politics as it is, and with the start that they have, it is probable that their supreme satisfaction will not be long delayed.
