I'all Sunshine,

Owing To the extremely warm and
pleasant fall weather we have all been
enjoying this season, farmers have been
able to get along with their work without
so much extra expense of hired help,
thus In 4 great measure earning the
wages Themselves, which In case OF an
early winter they would have been com
PEELED to pay to others for helping
gather their oorn and prepare for cold
weather, Then too the fall weather
has continued mild and pleasant for SO
long u time that little more than the
average weight summer clothing has
been needed for comfort while at work
and comparatively small amount of
money has yet been paid out for winter
clio thing in our county, This has had u
marked effect not only upon the far
mers, and all purchasers In enabling
them to save money wherewith to p,,,'.
chase all needed supplies, but II also
has detrimental effect upon our mer-
chants especially upon our clothing
dealega who complain of the Eighties
clothing deals thus far this season that
they have witnessed for years. And
while the people are industrioasly
wearing out all their old summer and
fall clothes during this continuous nice
weather. Our clothing merchants are
absolutely overstocked with all kinds
of winter goods which they are COM
PEELED to offer at the very lowest possi-.
BILE per cent of profit In order to reduce
the stock and make room for new
goods. Why, ID. G.. Abrams Is over
stocked with winter goods In his large
brick clothing house, owing to the
meagD demand this pleasant fall
weather for such goods, that he is ac-
tually offering oyercoats, coats, pants,
winter suits Of every variety for men
and boys, woolen underwear, fur caps,
scarfs, ladies shoes, and in fact all
styles and qualities of winter wear at
very little more than actual cost price
He carries the very best quality to be
found in lirst-class clothing house
any where and is determined to make
s..le of them ii he does not lay up a
penny in order to maka room
| for the new stock and then
keep pace with the times, and be found
at the front in all the changes of STYLES
and seasons. Large sales and small
profits is his motto. You will never
see the time, likely. when you can buy
good clothing cheaper than you can
this month at ID. &, Abrams. Every
one who wants anything in his line
should call at once and see for them,
selves before purchasing elsewhere.
Examine and price his goods and you
! viii surely take some home with you.

There are several other changes In
the methods of treatment of the CON-
demned which will be put in practice
under the new law. Under the new
code the prisoner Is to be sentenced to
death without the assignment of any
specific date. The week only will be
named ia which the crime is to be ex-
plated, but the day and hour Is to be
decided upon by the agent or warden
of the prison in which the execution
takes place.
The announcement Of the day and
hour will be made only to persons
permitted TO be present at the execu-
ton. No one can visit the condemned
without an order from the court, ex-
cept the officers of the prison, his coun-
sci, ply siciau, priest, and members OF
his family.
Many years ago this subject of execu-
ton by electricity was introduced and
discussed by the Scientific American,
and ever since the question has been
one that has been mere or less promi-
inentIy brought before the public. 1t
has now become law. As a concIu-
sion is appended an extract from an ed
itorial published in this paper in 1873,
and which is of some interest 10 view
of the passage of the bill:
"The objection that electrical execu-
lions would be free from the horrible
hangings might be easily obviated.
The criminal, for instance, could be
exposed upon platform, in full view
of the assembled witnesses, his irons
being connected with battery and
Ruhmkorf coil capable of giving say
an IS inch spark. The mode of clos
ing the circuit might be a simple but
ton, to be pressed by the finger of the
sheriff. Then, when the usual formal.
tiles conclude, the latter Official es.ab-
fishes the current, the convict instant
Iy expires, and all is over. There
would be no slipping nor breaking OF
ropes, no black caps, no suspension Of
writhing form for twenty minutes OF
half an hour, none of the grim watch.
ing for death by the medical atten-
dants, nor any of those hideous sur.
roundings which now only serve as
food for sensation mongers, and prove
that a relic Of barbarism can still be
retained in the laws Of a civilized coun
try"

will make tact q second nature. COur-
tesy, for instance, requires me, If I
choose to 60 into a Roman Catholic
church, to bow my head when all the
worshipers are bowling theirs. hsve
no right to impose my disbelief upon
other religious worehtpers, and 80
wound their feelings and interrupt
their worship. A member of one
suit with member of another school
Of medicine, but he has no right to do
1t In q discourteoas manner-that Is, ia
n way needlesely to wound the feelings
of his brother-man. The sum of the
whole matter, then, is this: To be
courteous Is to be friendly minded 1t
is to have tact ; it Ia to be sympathetic
with other people, and observant Of
their needs, their wishes, their feelings,
aud in speech aud action considerable of
them. If one lacks this spirit Of SYM
pathetic consideration, no study of
rules of etiquette will make him truly
courteous. IL he possesses this spirit OF
consideration, he will be instinctively
courteous to all men and women IN all
circumstances, and will then have only
to inform himself as to certain general
rules of courtesy applicable alike in all
localities and stations, aud as to some
specific rules of etiquette which con-
venience has established In special
cases and in particular localities or for
existing social conditions. All the gem
eral rules of courtesy and most of the
special rules of etiquette have a foun-
dation In common sense AS well as in
kindly feeling.-L4yman Abbott in the

assisting criminals and sewer-rats to
come to America should be counter
acted in some way This order Of
things has prevailed to such an extent
that thoughtful people have repeatedly
pointed out that England was virtually
making of this country a receptacle into
which she empties released criminals
and men Of bad character. These
criminals, if they desire to work at all,
enter into direct competition with the
honest labor of our people, and it also
has q demoraljzing influence on the
whole society into which they have
baen thrown. 1t is bad enough to have
surplus laborers shipped here from
abroad, to enter into competition with
our people, even if the foreigners are
persons of the very best reputation and
moral standing, but when it comes to
the wholesale importation of criminals
the matter should receiye the careful
attention of Congress, and this cannot
be looked after an hour toe soon.

CAPT. r. B. FORBES, the veteran
navigator, writes to the Boston Adver-
tiser in mild criticism Of new book
published by Cassell & Co., entitled,
''Sh1ps, Sailors and Seas,' saying, ''the
only fault I'll find with it. is that the United
States fagis at the foot of the list con-
tanning all the flags Of the world. 1t is
very proper that an English book
should show the flags of that country
at fhe head. The flag Of the United
States should come next to those Of the
mother country.''' If the mother
country could have her way, adds the
Boston Pilot, the flag of the United
States would not appear Oh the list at
all and to her Justice, she has striven
her best, with the aid of privateers, pi-
rates and free traders, to achieve that
result. 1t is comfort to reflect that
whenever the issue has been fairly
tried in open battle, the faag of the
United States has usually found place
next to that of Engiand--only foot or
so above it-and the prize money was
divided among victorious Yankee tars.

POPE LRO's ADDRESS TO THE
PILGRIMS.

An interesting chapter in the cele.
bration Of Pope Leo's golden jubilee
was his address to the pilgrims at
Rome last Tuesday in the presence OF
the whole court. His Holiness OK
pressed JOY at the cohesion of Catholics,
and continued:
You have not given faith to those
who with the voice Of calumny try to
persuade you that the Pope is the en-
envy of Italy. The Popes have always
been the greatest friends and benetac-
Of Italy. You, like ourselves, are con-
vinced that the Church, by her holy
mission, ought to be independent
whatsoever OF terrestrial authority: that
the Church is a divine institution, and
that to try to reduce its interests to a
question of the laws of Italy can only
be the result Of most deplorable blind
ness
This address is of more than ordinary
interest inasmuch as it explains the
exact position of the Church with re-
gard to Italy. That it also expresses
the sentiments of the pilgrims on this
point is evidenced by the fact that
every utterance was received with rap
turous applause.

The Liverpool Catholic Times thanks
God that the good, honest working
classes of England did not produce this
mean creature called Balfour. He was
brought up in ''high' social sphere
where idleness and cal}ousness ware
the two things in life most admired.
He is not of the people and has no SYM
pathy with them. They are warm
hearted; he is heartless. They are
frank and straightforward he is an
equivocator. They are generous even
to their foes; he is brutal when he OBJ
tains the opportunity of gratifying his
spite against an enemy. No, the work
ingmen of Great Britain have not to
bear the disgrace of having given to
the world such political scoundrel,
and they will in due time prove to him
and all who sympathize with his meth
DDS of misgovernment that they will
not allow the name Of their country to
be brought into discredit, and their
Irish brethren. who are flesh and blood
like themselves, to be treated as helots
in their own land.

TIM BARRETT CONVICTED.

Tim Barrett has been found guilty Of
the murder Of Thomas Tollefson on the
evening of July 26. On the whole TIE
verdict was not a surprise to any one
who read the evidence brought out at
the trial. The chain forged by County
Attorney Davis was without flaw,
that is, if the oath of Henry Barrett
could be entirely relied upon. Even
then many important points were cor.
roborateu by reliable witnesses. An
effort will be made to secure new trial
for him, but in all probability it will be
denied, and the verdict of thejury will
undoubtedly be carried into effect.
AS for Pete Barrett, he is boy, but
very dangerous one. Judging by the
evidence in the case, he would have
done precisely the same as Tim had the
circumstances demanded it. But his
youth will probably be taken into con-
sideration, and save him from the ex-
treme measure of justice which should
otherwise be meted OUT to him.
A praiseworthy word cannot be ut
tered in favor of Henry Barrett. The
leprous creature has evaded the strong
arm Of justice by contemptibly turning
his back on his own brothers. The
Mosaic law, upon which the laws Of
our cay are founded, demands all eye
for all eye and a tooth for tooth.
Therefore, justice will be meted out to
Tim and Peter Barrett, but the con-
temptlble creature who traitoronsly
and cowardly turned against them
to save his own filthy carcass should be
forever cut off from mixing with the
outside world. Society demands this
much, at least.
