IT WILL YIELD AS HAVE THE OTHERS.

Preceding our last presidential election we had an interesting correspondence with a prominent Populist friend of the North anent certain remarks made in our paper concerning the dangers and uncertainties of politics, and the trend toward union of Church and State manifest in all parties, especially on the Sunday question. Our friend thought that there was danger to be feared in the religious direction from Republicans, Democrats, and Prohibitionists, but not from the Populists. We endeavored to show him that yielding to Sunday-law sentiment would be made a political necessity in that party as in others. Here is an evidence. Not only has Populism been preached from Bible texts in the recent past in this city, but now, evidently under the pressure of Christian Endeavor Sunday sentiment, at present active and demonstrative in politics, the People's Party Campaign Committee in this county has decided that Sunday political meetings are not a necessity, and request their workers to refrain from this in the future. This is but one step. Others will follow.
