FOR SUNDAY READING.

The presumed founder OF the Chris
tian religion is reported TO have said 10
his disciples that 1.-the Sabbath was
made for man. not man for the Sab
BATH probably meaning thereby that q
day Of rest had been set apart by Gus
tom for mans benefit, not for the pur-
pose Of special worship to q Supreme
Being, but for rest and recreation. Yet
many Christians. instead Of accepting
for their guide the injunction Of their
master and teacher that the Sabbath was
made for man, will make tomorrow .
day OF modification and psnance. in the
belief that BY so doing they will please
their God. They have been taught that
weekly public religious service is . duty
they owe to their God. and that prayer
and praise offered to Him on Sunday
will be accepted as compensation for the
blessings OF the week. and q q credit to
balance their weekly debit Of sin. This
belief Is so deeply hIsd in the minds Of
many religious persons that, not contsnt
With worsbipiug their God o n Sunday In
their own way and in accordance with
the dictates OF their own conscisnces.
they feel 1t to b. their duty to compel
their nsishbors to observe Sunday in
the same manner that they do; hence
the proscriptivs Sunday laws Of some
States.
But what q cry Of persecution would
come up from the class OF r~elieionists
who now enact and endeavor to enforce
Sunday laws. 10 psrchance II should
come to pass that people who believe ii
TO be their duty to spend Sundays in
recreation should have sufficient politi-
cal strength and influence to enact laws
compelling the closing Of places Of rsli-
Pious worship on Sunday. on the ground

number Of people walking the streets

day! Yet such laws. enacted by q ma
jority OF the people. would be just as
consistent with the fundamental p:inci.
pies Of our government as is the present
Sunday law o! California. And. as
public opinion frequently passes from
one extreme to another. like the swing
Of o pendulum. il is not beyond the linn.
its Of possibility that. II the class Of pa.
friots in California who are now making
their Sunday Law so odious to great
numbers OF people there persist in their
attempts 10 enforce its provisions. the
people may. in n spirit Of revenge. pro-
bibit by Law the ringing OF church bells
at all times. Perhaps the action already
taken by the Sunday law patriots may
induce q majority Of the members OF the
next Legislature Of California 10 pass a
law requiring all church property to be
taxed the same as private property IL
taxed. II church property is now exempt
from taxation in that State.
Giving these considerations due weight,
II would seem that prudence should sug.
gest to the Sunday law patriots OF Cali.
fornia the policy OF ''gOing SLOW in
their attempts to enforce the provisions
Of an odious law. The world moves,
and the day Of religious prescription
and persecution ought to be past.

For o newspaper that has maintained

son. the silence OF the Enterprise during
the session Of our last Legislature. and

tiers Of public Importance. has been
''passins strange" Whether there are
personal and concealed motives for its
persistent rancorous attacks upon Sheriff
Hanks, a. has been charged, 10 not
known to the NEWS. but the fact that the
Enterprise has SO suddenly shown . de-
sire to expose official shortcomings, after
its long Rip Van Wrinkle moral sleep.
certainly gives some little warrant for the
charge made that other motives than . de-
sire to advance public interests prompt
its present passionate attacks upon Mr..
Hanks. The News firmly believes that
Mr.. Hanks has made q most excellent
and efficient Sheriff. To all appearances
the duties Of the Shsriff's Office have
been faithfully performed. The attaches
Of the Office have always been found
courteous and oblisipg. And II there
are any good grounds for complaint
against Mr.. Hanks. or against his dspu.
ties. the News has never heard them
mentioned. Therefore. until some
charge against Mr.. Hanks for derelio-
ton Of duty Is proved, the NEWS will
continue to believe him o good officer

Cemetery Improvements.

The city authorities have for some
time contemplated making certain i'm.
provcments Mt GlenwOOd Cemetery,
such as changing the course of the
creek, etc, and had went so far rs to let
the contract to Mr.. Elisha Bates at
$349, but when Mr.. Bates commenced
work last Tuesday, Joseph May, a
farmer living in the vicinity, served an
Injunction restraining further work as
the improvement contemplated would
damage his property. The city engineer,
Mr.. Chas. Brown, has drawn an accurate
plat of the grounds rs they now are and
outlined the course of the intended i'm
provements, to submit to the court for
examination, when the city will ask
that the injunction he set aside.
The improvement was to tap the
creek as it turned to go into the Gene
terry grounds and run the water in
ditch on one side of tho road some 700
feet, until it again connects with the
natural bed of the stream. Where the
creek or ditch would cross the highway
it was proposed to build a culvert 80
feet long under The road. As the creek
now runs it endansers the highway after
every ircshet, but to coniinc its waters
rs proposed it would not only remedy
this trouble but give to the Cemetery
Association lands which at present are
of no practical benefit.

publishers of THE FREE PRESS deter
mined to meet the demand ola growing

countered body of pessimists who ut
once foresaw failure staring us in the
face, and gave expression to their pre-
dictions by throwing in the way every
obstacle imaginable. But we rs pub
fishers, never faltcred, feeling confident
that stick -to-it-ivencss and good work
would bring about the desired result,
and we have not been mistaken in our
belief, for to-day our bindery and blank
book mandatory is a greater success
than we ever anticipated in so short a
time. What work we have done has
been done upon honor, and all
those who have received work from our
hands speak in the warmest terms of it
We have on hand at the present time
several orders for county records and

institution, and We desire all who have
work in our line to be done to afford US
an opportunity to give prices.

What Will the Harvest Be !!

Minnesota millcrs who have gained
an enviable reputation as manufacturers
of gilt-cdge flour, are waiting with
anxiety for the new crop OF wheat to
ripen, for upon it depends either con-
tinuation of their past and present repu-
tation or Il closing of their mills to save
their good name. 1t is the universal
verdict that all the experience and
Knowledge of our best millers have been
taxed the past year to sustain the lead
ing grades of their flour made from the
wheat raised IN this State and Dakota.
And the principal mills in the State in
Guiding the big one ut this place, have
determined to close their doors if the
present crop is not an improvement
over the last one. The Chicago market
is receiving wheat from Illinois and
southern States which weighs 6219
pounds to the bushcl in the dirt, while
the crop of Minnesota and Dakota wheat
of last year failed to weigh over so
pounds to the bushel. Thus il can he seen
that the same anxiety is manifest with
both the miller and farmer.

A LadY's Opinion and Advice.

I think the County Sabbath School
Convention which was held in our city
last week was quite success and al
ways will be-if the advice given be
adhered to in the future.
The words OF Rev. p. p. Fisk, Of
Carleton College, were very instructive
and interesting. His story about the
''horse shed" class reminded me of a
scene l witnessed last Sabbath evening.
Having taken my babe TO church and
she getting tired and restless ! was OBJ
liged to retire before the service was
concluded, but when reached the out
side door. l was surprised at the crowd
of young men lettering on the steps.
And as descended l looked down and
found the steps completely covered
with tobacco juice making them unfit
for any lady's dress to touch. Now if
there had been Il horse shed at that
church perhaps this crowd of young
boys would not have went to it, for
presume they were at the church for
different objects than horse trading, al
though l heard them betting quite free
ly as l went out. ! suppose they were
there not to sec the horses but what
girls where present. Now if / was a
young lady and young man would go
to my church and sit upon the outside
steps during the services pitting tobacco
juice. waiting for me to come out and
with smile ask, lean see you home
I should very quickly tell him that his
services were not wanted. l tell you
girls if a young man is ashamed to go
to your home and walk to church with
you, should be ashamed to walk home
with him.
But to return to the convention
There were number of others who
made short addresses, among whom
were Geo. Ii. Brewster and w. w. P
Mcconnell. These did nobly, and as
sat and listened to their remarks
thought they had better give up selling
machinery and dry goods and go tc
preaching, for they spoke as if they
possessed the right spirit, and no mar
who hath light should put it under
bushel, CITIZEI.

The County Fair.

The time is rapidly approaching for
holding the annual County Fair, this
season at this place, and rs it is intend
ed To he an experimental effort it is well
TO impress the fact upon all our citizens
that it behoovcs them TO be alert and
perfect arrangements for making the
Fair II success beyond the expectations
of every one. The cos: to each will be
trifling, yet in the aggregate the display
of various articles which will be cXhib
ited-if sufficient inducements are
ofiered-will amply recompense an out
lay, besides encouraging an enterprise
which is of paramount importance to
all, both business men and farmers.
Let our merchants speak to their farm
or customers to attend, and bring in
something; a prize pumpkin, coop of
choice fowls, n fat calf, any thing for
comparison with other exhibits. Let
every farmer speak to his neighbor and
talk the subject up until there is an
unanimity of feeling among all to
make the Blue Earth County Agricul-
tural Society grand success.
An endeavor is being made to
change the location for holding the
County Fair, from the old Driving Park
as at first contemplated, to the bottom
land in West Mankato. Within the
past ten days an element has been
at work ascertaining whether the lat
ter grounds could be leased and at what
price, and they found that the land can
be had free, besides small bonus
secured for having the Association To-
cate there. The subject was brought
to the attention of the officers of the
A gricultural Association at their meet
ing yesterday, and fully discussed, when
the committee took carriages and in.
spectcd both localities. Upon return
ing, the committee from the Agricultur
al Society and Board of Trade, met a
City Hall for further consideration
when the first named committee sub
mitted their report, that they could no
accept the old Driving Park grounds
but would accept the upper grounds i
they could be procured and were ten
dercd by the Board of Trade. Thu
committee from the latter body will
submit the question next Monday even
ing for their final action. We hope Il
see afnal adjustment of the matter, ant
an unanimIty of feeling prevail whicl
will make the Fair one of fuccess fnan
| cially r1d otherwise,
