). Welshmen are looking forward with
peculiar interest, notes the New York
Ooserper, to the census of 1891, because,
for tho first time, clause has been In
serted directing an enumeration OF all
persons who speak Welsh and English
In Wales and Monmouthshire, and Of all
Welsn-speaking persons in England as
well. It Is generally maintained that
there are more Welsh, speaking people In
existence at the present moment than
there were ever before. That there
are more periodicals, newspapers
pamphlets and books published in the
Welsh language, and, therefore, more
Welsh readers now than at any period
heretofore is very certain, and admitted
on all hands. The other assertion IL

Ecclesiastical Wheat Fields.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Especial. Some
months ago President Elder +. A. Bur.
dick called meeting in this city of all
the Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen
district, and put before them the plan OF
sowing wheat for the liquidation OF
church debts The pastors took to the
idea, and after talk with their people
found the farmers would furnish the
land and do the work, if the church
would furnish the seed. The general So
cicties Of the church, which have then
headquarters in the Fast, then took hoid
of the matter and shortly announced that
the money for the seed should be forth
coming. -...-----,-
The Rev. Mr.. Burdick said last even
sag: eve hope to have at least forty
acres Of wheat on every charge in the
aberdeen district, and on some as many
.s sixty. AS matter Of fact, the -Churcl
at Bath has already started the ball POLL
lug with sixty acres. The income Iron
;his source will be applied altogether TO

Wants to Fight Rack.

EDS. RECORD-UNION l was pleased to
see that the matter of threatening and
intimidating practiced by the saloon
Keepers of this city was so fully venti-
lated recently.
There are several cases in this city
where prominent business men have
been compelled by threats to do what
their judgment and conscience utterly
condemn. 1t is strange that the long
suffering American people have not be-
fore this arisen in their might and de-
clared, thus far shalt thou go and no
farther. 1t is mentioned that the Liquor
Dealers Association of Sacramento
threaten men with blacklist if they re-
fuse TO sign their petitions. Why can
not our temperance people prepare a
circular and ,call il the ''White-list," in
which they shall state the grievances OF
our business men and moral people, put
ting down the names of those manu-
tacturers or merchants who are threat
ened with boycott for refusing to indorse
saloon pet tions, or other measures pro-
jected by the Liquor Dealers Association:
also urging all liberty loving and right
thinking people to demand of their
grocers or other dealers, the goods of the
Let this be signed by the Ministerial
Union of Sacramento, the w. CT. u,
the Good Templar Lodges and Gospel
Temperance Unions; then let the preach
ers of the various denominations send
these circulars to the churches of their
communion in every town and hamlet in
the central and northern part of our State.
Let the various lodges and unions also
distribute these circulars, and it will be a
strange thing if, through these organiza-
tions, more people are not reached than
by the Saloonkeepers or the LIQUOR
Dealers Association.
The circulars issued by these institu-
tons would plainly show that it was not
a business dodge, but an expression of
the people in behalf Of their rights and
privileges. l believe this matter has
been talked of, but let us act upon il and
thus protect those who suffer for con-
science sake.
To this article, Mr.. Editor, will sign
my name with no more hesitancy than to
any other article l have written, or NAV
write, on this or any other subject. 1t
was not lack of courage TO sign my name
for publication (as your notice in regard
to the same would imply, that did not
so sign it, but that aversion to publicity
that leads me to sign my initials only to
any article on any subject whatever.
