The Outcome of It.

THE Monterey County Republican Convention gave expression to its sentiments on the Sunday Law as follows :—

" WHEREAS, The Democratic party of California has declared in favor of abolishing that long-cherished and time-honored institution, the American Sabbath, the proper observance of which as a day of rest is the prime factor of good society and good government and promotion of the peace, prosperity, and happiness of our people; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Republican party of Monterey County, in convention assembled, is unalterably opposed to the repeal of the so-called Sunday Law, and in favor of such additional legislation as experience has demonstrated will render its enforcement more certain and its provisions more effective, and the delegates chosen by this convention are hereby pledged to do their utmost to have incorporated in the State platform of the Republican party a plank embodying the declaration of the sentiment herein expressed."

The above resolution gives evidence of what we have many times stated, that the present Sunday Law is far too inefficient to suit the minds of the Church-and-State people. There is no reason why anybody should be taken unawares by the union of church and State, which is sure to come soon. Then, as a Sunday-Law speaker recently said, "let the minority abide the consequences."
