would have a law to prohibit all un- necessary manual labor, and especially such as would disturb the people who
 wish to spend the day quietly in re- ligiCus worship, and prohibit all noisy and wholly secular and harmful sports that war against the sanctity of the
 day that Jehovah has hallowed-e.
 g.. the law should prohibit parents from compelling their children to Work seven days in the week and make IL impossible for employers to compel or require employees to labor without the weekly rest. I would have law that on the Christian Sabbath would forbid
 circuses close all theaters, stop all shooting matches, horse racing, football l and baseball games, close all business
 houses, and especially all liquor sa> l looms, those legalized Gates of Hell,
 as the women call them. Nor is this all If California had power to control 1 the Federal Government l would be
 glad to see law that on the Sabbath
 would stop every mail train and close ! every postoffice in the State. By it's Sunday mails and Sunday trains the Federal Government is not only the foe
 to free labor, but also the greatest enemy to morals and pure religion.
 You give me space to say only this
 I would have new law much like the one the Democratic Legislature re- pealed some years ago-a law Simi- | lar but better than most of the Sab
 bath laws of the other States. It would
 not "compel people to go to church., ' nor would it be an effort to make men
 religious by law" And it should be so 1 framed that it could not be used to do
 harm to any class of citizens who re- ligicusly and conscientiously observe or keep sacred the seventh day of the
 week or the Jewish Sabbath With such a law, accepted and voluntarily obeyed

 The Eva plantation, largest On the islands. employs about 2000 hands; the yield last year was IS, 900 tons of sugar. It will be 25000 tons this year. The is- land of Hawaii largest of the group, has hitherto raised most of its sugar, but Molokai will perhaps lead in fu- ture. It was chiefly owned by the estate of Berenice Pauai Bishop till re- gently, but is now in possession of a syndicate of Boston capitalists repre- sente1 by Arthur M. Daggett. This syndicate will put nearly all the island into sugar and it will then be by far the greatest sugar plantation in the world.

1. For health of his body man needs a periodic rest. In the long run man and beast can accomplish more by rest ing one day in seven than by working every day.
 ?. For the cheerfulness and greatest clearness and sanity of the mind man requires periodic rest, or change which is mental rest

 Church FAVOR a Sabba tn law and very
 strict one. I think the criminal l statistics will furnish sufficient Justification for this position. If we are to be healthy and strong phys ically we must meet the conditions con- ducive thereunto; if we are to be moral, upright and law-abiding time must be taken to meet the conditions of instruc tion, companionship and inspiration thereunto. After six days of seculariza- tion we need one day in which to un- secularize or to unanimalize ourselves; to put ourselves under the discipline which pertains to a higher life. Sab bath-observing people are always a law-abiding people, with a very small percentage of crime.
 The blue laws of Connecticut, of which so much is said, never had an existence There were strict laws, with severe penalties, which kept the con- scienceless from trespassing on the rights of their neighbors with con sciences. And when and where has such a stalwart, upright, liberty loving, prosperous people been found on the face of the earth? Compare any popu- lation trained under Sabbath laws with a people trained without them and the contrast will furnish a sufficient argu- ment for Sabbath legally protected. I think no other State in the Union Is without legal Sabbath; certainly no other in which have resided, and

 I would not make men religious by law, nor would I make them honest by law or non-murderous by law; but 1 would place legal safeguards about the right to be moral and religious if one wants to be, with severe penalties for any infringement of these God given and constitutionally guaranteed rights, which are included in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness mentioned in the declaration of rights upon which this republic was founded.

The Letter Charity Fund.

1t seems difficult to believe that the
proposition, emarating from the peculi-
arly eccentric community comprised
within the state of Kansas, to take I'D
a general collection for the benefit of
Mr.. Joseph Letter end his father to
compensate them for their losses in
bullying wheat during the past season
should have been regarded seriously.
True, the suggestion was made by a
Kansas crank that the farmers of the
West and Northwest should each con-
tribute / cent per bushel for the crea-
ton of fund of the character mention
ed, in recognition of Joseph Letter S
part in making high prices for wheat,
the sum, when collected. to be pre-
scented to the elder Letter to reimburse
him for the losses sustained by him on
account of his sons plunging. But the
announcement seemed to be more in
the nature of joke than otherwise.
However, even a journal so matter of
fact and seriously inclined as the Gin
cinnati Price Current gravely takes
the subject up to discountenance and
suppress the movement.
While the proposition appears so alb
surd as to command only a smile of
amusement, it is evidently not untime-
ly to remark that subscription to such
fund would be about as silly as any
thing in which the farmers in the West
or Northwest or anywhere else, in fact
could indulge. Joseph Letter, with ar
allowance of 81 100000 from the great
fortune of his father took to specula-
ton in wheat in the belief that he
could add several millions more to his
wealth He carried on his schemes sue
cessfully during several months, and
caused the price to advance far beyond
the figures that would have been real
lied under normal conditions. His op-
erations were purely selfish in thei1
! conception. When he reached a GER
tain point of embarrassment his father
came to his rescue; and, in order tt
| preserve the credit of his name, sacri
| feed several millions of dollars add
tional. This was honorable on hi:
part, but no more honorable than arr
the acts performed every day by mer
who figure perhaps more serviceably
to humanity. even though less con
spicuously. Had young Mr.. Letter sue

never have thought of contributing

1t Is said that the nomination of William
Henry Eustis cost him upwards of $4,000,
but the joke of the matter Is that he says
he is going to run his campaign with the
least possible expenditure of money. William
Henry will find that the free ballot and
fair count fellows are expensive. Take an
average year and place the Republican vote
in the state at 10000. and it will cost at
least 81 per vote Unless that amount of
money is expended the election is lost. So.
if William Henry wants a pointer anent the
least possible amount, let him or his COM
mittee cough up dollar for each vote for
Clough in 1896, and add to this So per vote
for those that missed Clough land hit Nc
Kinley. 1t costs money to run Republican
campaign they won't work and vote without
it. Its constant use has made them look for
it.-Pine Poker.
