II is a source of great pleasure to us
TO know that the result of our labors
will be thus preserved to those who
shall discover the different articles
deposited In the stone, and the ques.
ton naturally arises: What will
they think of our paper? Will Its
contents be instructive or in any way
beneficial to those who follow us, or
will the news contained therein
throw no light upon matters which,
to them, are of vital Importance?
Will the political world be wrestling
with the Tariff and Free Trade,
Farmers Alliance and Prohibition,
or will the citizens of this country be
realizing the now visionary system
of Edward Bellamy? Will our
opinions on religious questions coin
eide with theirs, or will they differ ?
These questions can only be answered
by those who come after us.
Be the condition what it may on
political and social affairs. we sim
cerely hope the religious fanaticism
of tot day will be thing of the past
and nothing but the true ard pure
doctrine of Him who taught more
than eighteen hundred years ago be
promulgated when THE REPUBLI.

A Narrow Escape.

AT an early hour this morning, as
the Chicago express No. 8. was round.
ing a curve at the west end of the II
mile grade, the engineer saw in the
dim morning light huge rock lying
on the track about rs yards in front
of him. The train was running at a
fearful rate of speed but the engineer
Immediately reversed his engine and
the great line of coaches filed with
sleeping passengers, was brought to
a standstill within few feet of the
obstruction.
Just at this point lofty rocky pearls
loom up on either side of the tracks
and the boulder became detached and
crashed down. bringing with it tons
of small stones. The crew of the
train and many of the passengers,
with blanched faces and beating
hearts. Immediately went to work to
clear away the debris.
Every passenger and train hand
was fully aware of the danger that
was obyiated by the cool.headed en-.
gineer. and he was sincerely thanked
by them for having saved their lives.

On Sunday, June q lat p. M. the
corner stone of the new M. E. church.
in Oakland, will be laid with appro.

Rev. B. w. Hutchinson, President
of the ". Va. Conference Seminary.
He is man of rare talent, scholarly
attachments and remarkably graceful
manner. 1t will be worth more than
an ordinary effort on your part to
hear him. He will preach in the
Memorial church in the morning at
II O'Clock.
THE OAKLAND M. E. CHURCH
was first built in 1858, M. M. Eaton
in charge, H. 2. Adams. P. E. The
church was built largely through the
benevolence and energy of Mr.. Isaac
mccarthy. At that time there were
fifteen preaching appointments on
the circuit,tne preachers salary being
1851 per year. The church was en-.
larged in 1875, during the pastorate
of DR.. j. A. Fullerton. Samuel Steel.
Presiding Elder. The house was
dedicated by DIR. NV. Webb. Dur
ing the year 1875 the circuit was d.
yided into 8 circuits, leaving Oak
land and Terra Alta as one.
There are many precious memories
connected with the old church, and
many of the members were Ioath to
give it 10 as place of worship.

Have We RetalIated?

The report gained currency in
Washington on Tuesday that the
United States Government has re-
called our Minister from Rome. 1t
has been known for some time that
Minister Porter would return; but
it was rumored that he had been
granted a vacation merely. Now,
however. there appears to be high
authority for the opinion that he has
been recalled.
If this be true, the administration
is retaliating for the hasty action of
Italy's Prime Minister in recalling
the representative of that country
during the heat of the controversy
between Secretary Blaine and Baron
Fava.
Mr.. Blaine's ringing replies 10 the
Italian Minister met with a hearty
response from all Americans. His
language will we'll bear repetition.
II do not recognize the right of
any government 70 tell the United
States what 1t should do. We have
never received orders from any for
eign power and we will not begin
now.
PLEASE inform Marquis di Rudini
that the federal government cannot
give the assurance which ne requires,
and that it IS a matter of total indif-
ference to me what persons In Italy
may think of our institutions. l
cannot change them, still less violate
them.
"If the italian Government with
draws it's representative from WASH
ingtOn we shall recall ours from
Rome"
The difference between the admin
istrations of Cleveland and Harrison
are more marked In the State Depart
ment than 10 any other branch of the
Government. Blaine's vigorous
