Sickness in the County.

Much sickness is reported in some
sections of the county, which is attri.
buted in measure to the long, dry,
hot spell of weather; and the county
physicians have, as q general thing,
been doing a good business. Many
of the complaints, we are informed,
are from malarial causes, which has
brought about typhoid, intermittent
and other fevers, some of which have
proved fatal. No less than six or
eight deaths have occurred in the
fifth district alone within the last
three weeks from these causes. There
is also considerable sickness in the
first and eighth districts, but we have
not heard of many deaths from those
sections. It is to be hoped with the
approach of cooler weather and frosts
the health of these sections of our
county may improve.

Change In the Weather.

A sudden change took place last
night in the weather, which rendered
heavy clothing and even fires quite
comfortable this morning. A heavy
rain passed over this section, accom-
panied by q severe blow from the
northwest. Although the shower was
quite light in this city, we learn q
good rain fell in some Of the districts.
It begins to look and feel now like
the hot, dry spell, that has prevailed
for the past six weeks, was about
ended, and we may look for more
fall.like weather in the future.

That was rank hypocrisy and the statement of
the reason Il lie Every intelligent man knows
that the mass of Chinese in this country are free
laborers, and the sole object of the pledge was
to gain votes from the sand-lots of California.
alt can be shown that the exclusion of the
Chinese is as unwise in the light of political
economy as it is anti Christian in the light of the
Gospel. But principles are more than profits,
and we cannot abandon the former to pre-
vent Tilden's election. / would rather trust
God, and the Democrats in power, than Repub-
lican President with God standing aloof. We
open our ports to the hordes of immigrants from
Europe, assisted as they are, and we must not
vote to close them to the few from Asa-most
needy, most thrifty, most temperate of all. We
will take our stand on the platform of the Re-
publican party of 1864 and 1868, and declare
again this country shall be the asylum Of the
oppressed of all nations, trusting in Him who
said: Even as we did it unto the least of these,
we did it unto me-
Thus Tor one reason and another the
''grand old party'' is under an irreversible
ban, and unless the Democratic convention
of this week, at Chicago, shall be guilty of a
blunder that sane men should not per-
petrate, the days of the republicans are
numbered.
The last hope of the Republicans is in what
what they are pleased to style, in no very
complimentary terms, chronic Democratic
laundering" Shall they be gratifeds For
once let common sense, and not party
blindness and personal selfshness rule the
hour.

The BARRIERS.

Recently the tonsorial artists of the city met
at the city hail. and after consultation with Mayor
Palmer, who desired that the wishes of people to
have some little respect paid to the Sabbath be
regarded by them, entered into an agreement to
close their doors at 1 q. m. and not to admit
any one after that hour. The arrangement was
entirely voluntary on their part, and was en-
dorsed by the mayor, who thought this would be
satisfactory in the main to the citizens.
Last week one OF the number who had broken
the agreement was, on complaint of another
barber, arrested and fined under the old Sunday
law Now comes a letter to each of those max
ing the agreement as follows
81 hereby notify You that the agreement be-
tween o. P. Iceberg, E. Blodson, NJ
Fallensteln and myself to close
up our barber shops at eleven clock a M, on
Sundays is ended and from this date shall not
be bound by that agreement and shall not hold
you to that agreement
H. G. THoms.
Dated at Mankato, July I'd, 1884
The superstition is that it will lead to the entire
suppression of Sunday shaving for
when any one feels disposed they
can swear out q complaint under
the law just as well before as after eleven
clock, the agreement not modifying it in the
least It is said that Mr.. Thoms will return
dose of the same medicine with which he was
served upon the unlucky complainant if he dares
to shave or clip hair at al Sunday. While it
may and aciu be great Inconvenience to the
public if the shops are to be closed on Sunday as
far as the BARRIERS themselves are concerned it
will be very acceptable change.
