THE SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.

The following letter on the anti Sun
day excursion bill from the Rev. John
Carol PerKips. was read before the ju-
dietary sommittee at the hearing on
Tuesday evening:
Dear Sir-I am asked to appeal to you
In behalf of the anti-Sunday excursion
bill. do appeal to you against Its pas
saQe. Ny reasons are as follows:
There is already In our statutes q
law sufficiently broad In It's scope for the
most searching isolation of the Lord q
DAY from ali other days. But sach q
statute iss wholly disregardsd by public
opinion II any Sunday legislation is
undertaken, 1t should be In the line Of
modification Of bhs existing statute.
Ill believe all civil restrictions Of
religious practice to be immoral and un-
just, an infringement OF individual
rights. II Sunday excursions become
an evident nuisance or breach OF social
order, sufficient protection against such
breach is already afforded cur citizens
III.--There is 70 my mind no sufficient
evidence that the public welfare 10
distu rbed. or the real spirit Of religion
soandaiized by Sunday excursions as now
conducted, or as likely % be eondunted.
IV.-Our lawmakers are oyerburdensd
by petty and unwiss appeals l consider
the present appeal az both petty and un-
wise; petty, because arising from mar
row view OF social welfare: unwise, be-
cause in o government like our own, re-
ligious observanees and practices should
be left wholly to individual men and
churches.
The relation OF the law to labor. do
not discuss. speak only as Christian

In q public office and under the eye of
a public official during the .ngraham ad-
ministration that the ballots were de-
stroyed as a part of the plot to reverse
and overturn the will OF the people
as expressed by their votes at the polls.
1t was under the eye of a public Official
of the Ingraham administrator that
citizsns were driven out OF the ward
rooms so that thers might be no teiltais
evidences to disclose the frauds on the
ballot boxes that the Democratic ring
had concocted. 1t was under the eye Of
a public offloial of the Ingraham admin

the city of all control over them. IL Mr..

tine first lively debate In the House OF
the session took place yesterday over a
motion to substitute the minority report
in favor of the Eastern Telephone com.
pany for the majority report which was
against that company and practically in
favor of the New England Telegraph

victory for the Eastern company. or the
Portland representatives all voted for the

supported the minority report. The contest
IL now transferred TO the Senate where the

The last year that the city of Portland
indulged in Democratic administration
was ls92 2-nine years ago. The public has
not forgotten what pure and sanity
affair that was, how free from scandal,
what valuable reforms were wrought
by It. Especially will 1t recall how 1t
sought to perpetuate itself and the bless
ings of Democratic rule by false counting,
and destruction of ballots to conceal 1t, In
ward one The memory OF the last Demo-
cratic administration Is so fragrant that
Il is no wonder that the agents of "a wet

illu minating, however. as nobody has u

receives the highest number, some over
5000 in a total OF 40. 200. President Low

this canvass has any significance 1t is
