A great NUN Der of our citizens dai y
20 out to the line Of the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Railroad TO see what pro-
gress is being made with the work.
Those who have gone there have not
failed to see the large number OF Italians
who are employed in manual labor,
perfectly happy and contented at re-
ceiying dollar and quarter day r
their labor. We are not saying that this
is enough for laborers, for on the con-
trary we think it is not enough, but
what we want to say is that these ItaI
ians are happy and satisfied with re
ceivinp that much. The question has
no doubt arisen in the minds OF thos'
whn have waite he'd them tOiling witt
nick and spade in hand, why are theS
men over here in the United stale
where every thing and every body ar
strange to them, instead of remaining
at their own native homes, a'nongs
fri ends and the familiar scenes of child
hood? No stronger argument is needed
to prove the benefits of protection thai
the self-evident fact that these mel
have left home where free trade is On
Outraged to the fullest extentr-wher
labor is about thirty and tLirty-fv
cents a day, and came to this coun'r.

The Virginia StraightOuts,

The 5traightQUt Republicans Of Nir-
ginia held a convention yesterday and
passed "A series Of resolutions, one Of
which condemns Malone for bringing

The platform opposed mixed schools, 70

does MahOne's. II tavors an honest en-
torccmrnt of the laws of Congress, so

and an honest cOunL, so does Mahone's.

on the contrary repealed it. 1t declares
that public free schools should he made

1t condemns the administration fol
aiding Malone in repudiating one third

where they get what they call the mag
nitcent wages of sdollar and q quarter
. day.
Yet in the face of all this, influential
papers, that ought to know better and
do know batter, join with the trucking
free trade brawlers in an effort to de-
grade labor to European-Italian level.
If free trade is a. beneficial to the Ia.
boring class of people as the free trade
journals contend that lis, why do
these laborers flock over by thousands
to this country of protection where
they can get higher wages and live bet
ter? There is no shutting out the fact
that free trade for America would de-
grade American labor. If this were
not so the immigration Of the times
would be reversed and America would
fill the free trade countries of Europe
with immigrants. Here we have pro
lection; over in Europe they have free
trade with few exceptions Here the
wages of laborer are at least q dollar
and quarter a day; over there fifty
cents is not the lowest. Hundreds Of
thousands of laborers come each year
from free trade Europe to protected
America and they are all contented
enough to remain.
What foolishness it is then, TO think
Of adopting the plan Of European fret
trade. If protection was not the bes'
for labor these hordes of European la.
borers would not come here. If protec
ton did not protect the laborers then
immigration would cease. If these
Italian laborers that are amongst Us
now could do as we'll in free trade Italy
as they are doing here, what fools they
are for coming here. These are plain
practical facts which cannot be success
fully coatradicted. The proof of ouI
argument is before our eyes. These
Italians are here because they are glad
to get away from free trade Italy, where
they were in danger Of starving, and te
come to protected America, where they
are glad to get dollar and a quarter a
day tor their labor, low as even that
may appear. Free trade drove them
from home. Protection brought them
here. Adopt free trade in this country
and then labor will be reduced to the
beggarly position it occupies in free
trade nations.

THE EVERY EVENING styles the pro

old adage: Do not count YOU
chickens before they are Matched. Thu
majority of the American people will
take care of the idiots who wish to sac
rifice the substantial interests of thu
country to test the exploded theory OF
the beneticent effect of free trade.

The Faith l'nre.

At Old Orchard Beach, Maine, a doc.
tor, Charles Cults, is performing some
wonderful cures Of diseases through
what he calls he " laying hold of the
promises and the" efficacy of prayer
He has several assistants, among whom
is the Rev. j. M. Sutherland, lately
known to negro minstrelsy fame al
Senator Bob Hart" The doctor i'm
presses his patients that they must be-
come christians and then pray to be
healed, not simply that you may be rid
OF suffering, but that when you are
healed you may devote your lives to the
glory Of God" Then, he says, all thai
Is necessary Is that the patient shal
have faith" The meetings have beer
largely attended by the sick and the
well, the devout and the scotfers. Scorer
of cures of all manner of diseases art
reported by joyful believers but TIM
sceptical allege that but few of the case
cited indicated the need OF supernatural
interpositiOn.

Answering Wanted" Advertise
ments.

From expressions that are often made
We might conclude that everybody who
answers advertisements for situations
expect us to furnish them with infor-
nation that will at once lead to lucra-
tive employment. If those answering
advertisements would but follow the
directions and but give the matter q
moments thought they would see at
once that we are not supposed to know
anything more about the advertise
mtnts than they do themselves. A
man or woman who advertises for help
or for situation, sends in his or her
cad" under an assumed name, with
instructions TO address GA" "B"o or
&C." or something else. When the
man or woman sends for the answers,
they get them and compare them. If
there is a number Of answers they
make inquiry before they decide upon
whom they will choose. 1t is very Ger
tain, however, that if a dozen ans wers
the cad only one of them can get
the situation unless more than one is
wanted. OF IT." dozen eleven must be
disappointed, and will never hear ANY,
thing more of he matter. IN all this
transaction the publishers Of the adj
vrrtiat ment knows nothing except that
he put the card in the paper.
The answers come if directed at the
the publisher office and they are put
in Alphabetical boxes and given to the
parties who call for them The publish
tr does not know who advertises nor
need he know who answers. "A great
many people, when they see an adver-
tisement for help, clerk, cook, boarders
or for rent, rush away to the pub
fishing ONCE as if they thought the pub
Usher could just hand over the situa-
ton. They are very sure they were re
luested to apply at the REPUBLICAN
Office, and are quite taken back when
they are convinced that they must ad-
dress help, clerk, cook, drug, or some
thing of that kind at the REPUBLICAN
office. With this explanation, we hope
that those hereafter answering adver.
tlsemcnts in the REPUBLICAN will no,

THOSE WHO thought Courtney had
got into tight place in a rowing con
tsst with Hanlan at Watkins glen, yes
terday, from which there would be no
back out, found that nobody could en-
ter the big end of horn and come out
at the small end with more ease than
Courtney can. There is no doubt of the
ability of the man to give Hanlan a
tight race, but he evidently lacks the
courage to do SO. He is a coward and

TIE MAIDSTONE.
A Superstition that Is extensively pop
MLar. in the West.

TERRE HAUrE EXPRESS : Friday at
terno0n u MIR. Padgett aud wife, accom-
panied by their niece, Il child Of eight
years, arrived in the city from Wash
ingtOn. Ind +, and went 10 the residences
Of Mrs. Taylor. No $50 North Ninth
street. Their mission here was t" have
Mrs. Taylor apply her maidstone to tho
child. which was supposed to have been
bitten by Il mad dog. The child was
the po-sessor of small dog. n great
pet. About II week ago the dog went
away. but returned in a few days.
The little girl was very anxious
about her pet, not knowing where it
was. and when she saw it ran t" play
with it. The dog always kind before,
sprang at her and bit her in many
places. nearly tearing the clothing off
her body. Her screams brought assis
lance, and the dog was beaten off. It
was noticed that it frOthed ut the mouth
and ran around in Il circle. 1t was con
cluded that the dog was mad, aud it
was killed. A physician was called
and the wounds cauterized. Some q
mentioned the Terre Hante maidstone,
and it wa. determined to bring tho lit
tie girl to the city. Tho Titles ones
hands and arms were almost black from
canterization.
Mrs. Taylor scraped the flesh above
one of the wounds Until the blood flow
ell. The stone was :hen put on and
bandaged to the arm. In an hour the
bandages were removed, but the stone
was still adhering. The bandages were
again pu: on. Tho stone was applied
a little after 8 o'clock Friday morning
aud adhered till 10 o'clock iu the
evening. The virus drawn from the
arm soaked through two thicknesses of
cloth. After the stone dropped of it
was placed in warm water aud thorough
" cleaned. the bottom of the basin be
ing covered with virus. After it was
cleaned it was applied again. but would
not adhere. The child was prOnoun
ced cured and was taken home yester-
day morning.
: Madstones are very rare and very few
are known to exist. There is Il mad
stone in Des Mcines, Ia; Keokuk, the
same state ; one in Louisville and one
in Taylorsville. I'll. Many people
doubt their existence. The writer has
heard many people who considered
9hemselves well informed deny that
there was such a stone. But almost
every one in Terre Haute knows that
there is n in Terre Haute. and have
heard of the many wonderful cures It
has reformed. Where the madstones
come from no one seems to know.
Their pOssessors are not able to toll.
An old Indian chiefsaid that madst0nes
were found in the stOmachs OF extreme
" old bnck deers.

That corner is good place to stand,

servatiOn of how many "heWers of
wood and drawers of water" there are
among the colored people or the coun-
try as represented in Washington.
Not on account of the treasury depart
ment being just over the way, but that
corner is a kind of junction, and more
than tiye-sixths of the clerks Of both
sexes heads of bureaus and women
who depend upon the government, and
whom the government, in turn depend ;
upon, make their appearance and exit
daily from there. Now, if you will
just wait, will point you out colored
men that holds Uncle Samuel by the
horns with positions ranging from a
fOurth-clasS clerk down to the "hust-
lers," and What stream of them rep
resenting desks in each of the depart
ments except the State Department.
That's the only building that the

But, lo-honey-just-wait, in less than
two years, the bone of contention will
be squared back in that high toned de =
partment. You cant beat EN-, you cant

when there was but two colOred clerks
under the Executive Departments in
this city. Now look? we count them
by the hundreds. Oh don't know the
reasons, all the reasons. that have ope-
rated, but in general principles the
American people never mean to go back
on their faithful allies. 1 wish the

legion of people of that race that don't
hew much wood nor toat much waite r
on their heads. / tell you this for a

Is daily gaining in representation.
