Chairman Riddle on State Fusion,

Chairman Taylor Riddle is quoted as
saying that he did not believe that the
Populist convention would or could force
any State officer to get off the ticket to

ready and willing to step down and out If
necessary to the welfare of the prin-

Western States Show That Business II
Keviving.

Boston. June l9-Mr. Henry ID. Forbes,
cashier OF the National Bank of the Republic
of Boston, has Just returned from a trip
through Kansas and Colorado, with a party Of
capitalists and others interested IN securities
in that section of the country. In converse
tion with Boston Herald reporter Mr.. Forbes
gave soma information in regard to affairs in
that region. He said
I'm our party were MIR. John J. Eddy, presi
dent Of the National Bank OF the Common
wealth of Boston; Mr.. u NJ. Addeman, vice
president of the Industr rial Trust Company OF
Providence: Mr.. ii. w. Stevens, cashier of
the Northampton, Mass, National Bank: Mr..
g. Henry Whitcoinb OF the Massachusetts, Loan
81 Trust Company of Botson, and Mr.. q. ii.
Burr, president of the ST. John Trust Com
pany OF Kansas.
Everything was very encouraging in the
way OF business in that section of the coun-
try. The outlook for a large crop and harvest
in eastern Kansas Is excellent. particularly in
the wheat crop. which, it would seem, is as
sured.
''The farmers throughout that section seem
10 be entering upon new era of prosperity.
and that, too on conservative lines.
Perhaps the most encouraging feature is
tho fact that they are not dependent upon one
industry. such ss the raising Of crops. They
are doing good deal in the way Of feeding
live stock, and are giving considerable atten-
tion 10 dairy products. New skimming sta
tions are seen in many of the small towns,
which. in the natural growth Of the com
munity. will develop into creameries.
"The Indebtedness Of tho farmers has been
very materially decreased in the last few
years, and IL Is quite evident tina. this years
crops will place many Of them entirely out Of
debt. mortgage or otherwise, and give them
something ahead.
Through the irrigated district of Colorado
there was great evidence Of thrift. This state
has great resources In mineral wealth. The
mills In Pueblo were working at full blast.
The visiting party was much and happily
impressed with the business being done by
the various lines of railroads. Especially was
this noticeable on the Atchison line, which
seemed to our party.to have taken new lease
of life. ~

One by one the assertions of tho silver
orators OF last fall are being disprovcd.
One of the most prominent of these was
the frequently reiterated statement that
prices Of farm products and other articles
kept pace with tho price Of silver. No
statement made during the campaign has
been so thoroughly disproven by tho
evidence OF the past six months as this
one Wheat has practically doubled in
value, wool has gone up fifty per cent,
sheep have nearly doubled in price. aud
other articles of farm production have
largely increased in value, while silver
has steadily gone down In price until it
has reached nearly or quite the lowest
point in its history.

Now York Democracy which at small
gathering of it's mem bers nominated
Andrew ii. Green for mayor of the greater

Richard Henry Dana's address on sunday OBJ
servance was valuable service TO tho com
munity, for which desire TO express my
gratitude. IL is unfortunately, seldom that
one finds such n union OF tho rational aud
spiritual clements in the discussion OF this
subject. would be glad TO see this address
printed as a tract and scattered broadcast
over our city. AS for tho existing Sunday
law in Rhode Island, IL is evident that its lit
eral enforcement would DO impossible. Any
law which forbids all 'rvcrestion" on Sunday
is on the face OF IL absurd. This law is an in.
heritance from the period preceding the adop-
tion of our Constitution, when church and
state were united in union which has been
wisely rejected from our present form OF
government. Later jurists, in their interpre-
tations of these Purtanical laws inherited
from the past wisely proceed upon the as
sumption that 10 Is only their secular aspect
which Is capable of enforcement. The newer
States base their Sunday laws on secular con-
siderations alone. am In favor OF an amend
ment of the present sunday law OF Rhode
Island TO bring 10 in harmony with ex-
isting convictions. law that cannot be
forced, though 10 may be called a dead let
ter" is very much alive as a source Of evil i'm
tho community. The condition of California,
whore there is no Sunday law, compares very
favorably with Rhode Island, where there is
a Puritanical one. All that the state can do
is to secure sucn an observance OF the day as
will tend to promote the peace and good order
Of society, but this much it is bound TO do.
The highest aim Of the church should be TO
secure the observance Of such Sunday as Mr..
Dana has so persuasively described. The say.
ing of Coleridge will then seem neither ex.
travagant nor unjustihed; IL feel ss IL God
in giving the Sabbath had given SO springs In
the year."

Now l am constant caller at the Seventh

the men complain of doing so much ex-
