An Equal (?) Law.

According to the Johnston Sunday Bill for the District of Columbia, the poor nobody who habitually rested in his laziness one or more days in seven, say Monday after a Sunday spree, would, if he worked on Sunday, be exempt from fine or imprisonment; while the poor Government clerk who had spent the whole week in the gloom of great stone buildings, would be compelled to pay a fine of thirty dollars or lie in jail for thirty days if he took rest and recreation on Sunday by hoeing in his garden. If men would but use their common sense, there would never be a Sunday law.
