4 lHE cooler weather HIS reuuceu the
death rate in the large cities. The de-
crease in New York last week was over
three hundred. But the heated term is
by no means ended, and the care for the
health, especially in the case of children,
should not be relaxed.
Two months after BOSS" Tweed was
indicted, and after his guilt. was known
to everybody, for the proofs had been
published, the Democrats of New York
elected him to the State Senate. And
now every one of those same Democrats
is shouting for Tilden and reform"
A CAPIAs was issued few days ago
for Mrs. Eliza Moran, of Palmyra, this
state, but the Sheriff of Lenawee county
would not serve it, as the laws Of this
state prohibit the Imprisonment of a
woman on civil process. There! Who
says woman hasn't more rights than the
rest of us, already?
IT is perfectly exasperating to some of
the Democratic organs that Mr.. Hayes
has nothing in his record which they Gun
assail They seem to think that any
man nominated for office must be a fool
or knave, and, as they cannot find that
he is the latter, they seem to think that
he must be the former.
Mr.. JEREMIAH BLACK, i'm his defense
of Belknap, took the ground that the
money received by him was in the ma
ture of present and not ola br.be He
cited the clses of Henry Clay accepting
the position of Secretary of State from
John Quincy Adams as President, of
Danial Webster's donations, and of the
presents which Grant received.

at Cincinnati, July 10, hged 81 years, was

THE correspondence relative to the
Salonica murder is published. The prin-
eipal facts are already known. The re-
port of the English Consul at Salonica
to Minister Elliott fully and warmly ex-
onerates the American Vice Consul from
any participation in the seizure of the
girl which caused the outbreak. The
Consul requests that Elliott shall submit
this testimony to the American Minis
tiers.
ALBERT SIMILAR, prominent Demo-
cratic politician in Wisconsin and dele
gate to the st. Louis convention, did not
get enough of Tilden's money from that
''barrel" to make his accounts balance as
treasurer of Washington county. He is
defaulter to the people for about $l5.-
600. He is sample ''reformer," for all
that, and has gone to join Boss TWEED,
with the assistance of his Democratic
| friends.
AT the burning of a shoddy mill i'll
Philadelphia last week, three women es
capped to the roof. Bales were placed on
the pavement for them to jump upon,
but some parties not knowing why they
they had been placed there removed
them, and two of the women cast them
selves down, killing themselves instantly.
1t is some consolation to believe that
would have died of their burns, probably
in long agony.
