WE have been informed that the “National Reform Association,” known as the Religious Amendment Party, have sent one hundred of their laborers across the Rocky Mountains to work up the Sunday-Law interest on the Pacific Coast. They are not, however, working publicly, but canvassing privately, meeting with the Good Templars and Home Protectionists, strengthening the deception that it is a temperance law. From other sources we learn that the Home Protectionists are holding secret meetings, discussing questions which, as one of their number said, “they did not wish to have come before the public at present.” “He that doeth truth cometh to the light.”
Since the action of the Democratic State Convention, in planting itself squarely against the Sunday Law, a great commotion has existed in the political camp. All eyes are turned toward the Republican State Convention, which is yet to be held. It is largely expected that they will throw out a bait to the advocates of Sunday. If they do not, then these will nominate a ticket of their own. In either case the coming political contest promises to be one of the hottest that California has ever known. There is no possibility of predicting the result from the known strength of political parties, as party lines will be badly broken down. Who remains now to laugh at the Seventh-day Adventists for predicting that the Sunday will become the most exciting political question of the age? They all use to do it.
A Geographic Correction

The editor of the Stanislaus Wheat-Grower—a live paper, by the way—says that Dayton, W. T., is on the Yamhill. Not unless it has taken a long and difficult trip since we last saw it.
