The little II foot was placed on pile of
loose bricks, the lawn dress pulled up just

THE COUNTY DISEASE.

Humanity, at times, suffers from
| epidemic diseases which extend over
vast areas. The domestic animals,
also, are victims of certain peculiar
forms of disease which spread from
one section to another and cause great
loss of life. The cholera, yellow
fever, smallpox, ETC., arc well known /;
also, epizootic, backlog and foot and
mouth disease. The vegetable king.
dom is also subject 10 visitations of
disorders of wide distribution such rs
might be classed as epidemic. We
have become so accustomed to the
knowledge of these destructive ene-
mics of animal and vegetable bodies
that their existence excites no feeling
of wonder, but it does seem strange
that bodies polite should also be liable
to epidemic disorders. Nevertheless,
it seems that such is the case, and the
one which is attracting most attention
at present might consistently be called
the county disease.
The following item from an ex.
change shows that one of the counties
of Idaho has been attacked;
A contractor on the new Courthouse
at HALEY, Wood River, has barricaded
himself within the building, and is
holding possession under shotgun law,
He refuses to abandon the premises
until paid for his work.
This State has beena severe sufferer,
and Is not yet entirely free from the
troublesome visitor, but strenuous
efforts are being made, and the people,
at the next election, will probably
take sanitary measures which will
insure safety for some time at least.
Although the county disease mani.
tests itself by various symptoms, they,
in one form or another, nearly always
make their first appearance in the
Court house; but, as it is known that
official dishonesty is the germ, it is
pretty certain that active measures will
remove the evil.

FOREIGN ImmrGRATIay.

For The eight months of the current
fiscal year ending with the first OF
March, the number of immigrants
arriving Mt the great customs ports was
only 2G6,2Se, as against 300,lS4 for the
corresponding period Of the previous
year. 'fbis i 4 loss OF UPWARD of ten

Immigration given by The prevalence
of dull times 10 this country is as yet
in no degree counteracted. In 1873
the years report was OF $4,000, Int in
1874 it fell TO 3f3,G0C; in 1910 it fell
off some $4,000 more. and in 1873 the
total number bad dropped to 1875, 469.
The next two years showed an aston.
ishine change, the number rising TO
457 900; and two years later, in 1889,
the unparalleled number Of 7SS,0e9
was reached. The reaction from this
figure we are at present experiencing
is very natural, and is likely to con
tinue for the present.-l'eao Gdzette,
The dull times referred to above are
easily accounted for. While there
were not too many men inthe country
there was work for all ard the laborer
was comfortable and, in many in
stances, felt that he was prosperous.
An over-supply lessened the earnings
Of each individual aud, to a certain
extent, increased his expenses. The
consequence is dull times and u strug
Gle for existence, where formerly
everyone had plenty. The news is
sent 10 Europe that this is not the land
Of ease and plenty which 1t once was,
and the flow of immigration is
measurably checked.
1t seems strange that party leaders
do not open Their eyest to this eondi.
ton Of affairs and assert a principle
which, while inficting no injury on
any person not in the country, will pro
tect those who are here and permit
them to enjoy the fruit of their good
luck in being here. 81
