THE RAINES LAW AND "OPEN SUNDAY" "

To he Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The "up-country Republicans and other
folks outside the metropolitan district have since
the November election watched with more than
ordinary interest the expression of opinion bv men
or standing and leaders Of opinion upon this knoty
question of excise There is one thinl; certain any
action which tends to make an open Sunday is
action which will not upft or help the working
people. a good many filings come from various
quarters about the Puritan Sunday bur upon this
point never let II be forgotten hat the grit of the
Puritan and what the Puritan Sabbath inculcated
IS the actual strength of this countrys greatness
The Republicans of the State of New-York do not
believe in allowing the law TO become cloak for
free license Sunday.
When clergymen in their pulpits read to the
giving way TO a lax sentiment, the IMAM on the
road is not impressed with respect for the cloth
The Raines law the writer has been in official
touch with. and knows its working. The weakness
in il IS the section which admits of the So-caIled
''Raines law hotel" This should he eliminated
When the bars let down either for Jew or
Gentle do his business for seven years. instead
of six then the result will be gradual, helping
the worker, but making the conditions of life more
strenuous. Excise laws can be enforced, if the
determination throughout the State is outspoken
AS a political measure. the strength of the Re
publican party always has been in taking firm
ground for right, and in the words of Abraham
Lincoln, Right makes might" No mans family
will be the better for open Sunday.
