A "Kiclz,, From Folsom.


EDS. RECORD UNION: Every citizen Of
Folsom, no matter what his politics, no
matter what his profession or trade, no
matter what his religion, if he respects
intelligence, if he respects moral decency,
If he respects public welfare, but feels
ashamed of the condition OF affairs IN
Folsom on last Sunday during the United
Order of Red Mems picnic at Natoma
Grove.
From the hour the train arrived in the
morning until its departure in the even
ing the streets presented scene OF
drunken hilarity that beggars descrip-
ton.
How much of the "fire-water" the Red
Men brought with them from Sacramento,
or how much of it was supplied by Fol
som saloons / know not, but do
know there was demand for the supply,
and a supply for the demand-aS shown
by the result, the one acting and reacting
upon the other, making the Sunday day
of debauchery, which must have been
followed by a sulphurously blue Mon
day and pale blue Tuesday.
Folsomites do not wonder that 'the
first spring snake story of the season." as
published in the RECORD-UNION, ema-
mated from the bewildered brain of a Sac
ramento picnicker.
] stood and watched the excursionists
start home. There were reeling, stagger-
ing, foul-mOuthed men, tagged out,
ashamed and chagrined women, fright
ened and nervous children, whose pros
poets of pleasant day had emerged into
2 vein of drunkenness, fist-fighting and
general decentralization. Sweethearts,
whose lovers had politely assisted them
off the train in the morning, at night
wended their way from the picnic ground
down the hillside, across the little foot
bridge and climbed on the car alone-alOne
except for the seething, surging mass of
humanity around them, a veritable gulf
stream of fatigue and irritability and
wretchedness. Their wofuI appearances
appealed for a Sunday law-that demand
for the sake of fhumanity-more strongly
than words can express. l.. l..

Sunday Evening Concerts,

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: I heartily favor
the proposition of holding our Sunday
evening concerts at Oak Park, if we have
to have them, but in my judgment we
need not have them at all. Why not
have two concerts on week days, and
both Of them at the Capitol Park? This
is the place, and the only one, where our
concerts should be held. The music
sounds better there, and the surroundings
give tone to the whole affair." or if two
concerts are too much, let us have one
grand concert per week at Capitol Park,

which was held i'll these grounds last

Tho tobacco statistics of West Va,
which we publish in another col
umn to day, show that this industry
is of much greater consequence than
most people imagine. In some
counties it is the principle staple of
cultivation, and the prices realized
demonstrate that parts of the soil in
this State can produce very choice
and valuable tobacco crop. Fayette
county produced last year over 500
600 worth ef tobacco, and the aver
age price received for it was about
20 cents a pound. The average
price of the Wood county product
was a little less than 8 cents per
pound. Lincoln county raised 56s-
900 pounds, and it sold for about IL
cents. The total amount raised in
the State was over two and half
million pounds, and the total sum
realized was 1902, $50, fraction less
than II cents pound average
