A physician who spent some time in
the countries bordering on the Gulf of
Mexico found a curious body of men
among the natives called Curados de
Calabra, or the safe from vipers. Hav-
ing been inoculated with the poison of
the serpents they. were proof against
their venomous bites. The incubation
was made with the venom tooth of a
viper and the bulb of a native plant
called mano del sapo (toad's hand).
The preventive inoculation has been
an old custom among the natives of
that region,

ST. CLOUD Journal Press: Another
amendment that should be made to
to the new election law is to permit
the counting of ballots as they are cast
and not waiting until the polls close
before the count may be commenced
In New York the judges are furnish
ed with two sets of ballot boxes. AT
the end of every two hours during the
day, the ballot box in which the votes
for those two hours have been cast, is
exchanged for an empty one, and the
votes are then taken out and counted,
a change of boxes being made every
two hours. By this method the votes
are all counted two hours after the
voting is done. In this state, in some
wards, it took over twenty-four hours
to complete the count. The law conld
easily be amended and this vexatious
delay avoided.

COUNTY BOARD.

The county board has voted the
second commissioner district the sum
of 81 900 to aid in constructing road,
to be expended under the supervision
of Com. Mahowald. The second dis
trict is the city of Mankato, and the
road in question is Glenwood Avenue.
The expense of improving this road
will be several thousand dollars, and
as it will be more beneficial to the peo-
pie living outside of the city than to
our citizens it is right that the county
should stand part of the expense.
The city has always paid One-third of
the county road tax and very little
has been spent within the city limits.
while the county has appropriated al
most the whole of it. Tens of thou
sands of dollars have thus gone out
from the city to aid the county. Our
citizens have no complaint to make
over this, as it has helped to build up
the county and particularly the vii
lagos, but it is time that small
part IF the tax which the city pays
should be spent in the city. The
county board should appropriate a
certain sum for use in the city each
year.
This 81, 900 is not payable until af-
ter March 1st, 1893. The board also
appropriated $50 to John Diamond to
be spent on the Eagle Lake road un-
der the direction of Com. Bruels.

IT is said that the present govern
ment of England is opposed to bimet-
alism, and if left to itself would OPP
pose any step looking toward the use
of silver as one of the principal factors
in the worlds volume of money. But
there is being big pressure brought
to bear by various Chambers of Com
merce throughout the kingdom, that
the government favor an interna-
tional agreement at the monetary
conference at Brussels, and this SEN
timent is growing so strong that it
may be forced to yield. If England
would consent to some agreement the
greatest obstacle in the way of the
final disposal of the vexed silver ques-
tion would be removed. and undoubt-
edly some agreement could be arrived
at. There is undoubtedly great
change of feeling as regards silver in
the trade centers of the British king
dom, but whether it is strong enough
to make itself felt upon the govern
ment remains to be seen. In the
meantime the international confer
ence will meet at Brussels on the 22d
and the work Of trying to arrive at
some agreement will commence.
There is some speculation as to what
will be the attitude of the Cleveland
administration toward the matter,
should an agreement satisfactory to a
majority of the nations represented
be arrived at and entered into by
them. But undoubtedly if some such
agreement should be reached and
adopted by the nations, the new adj
ministration would not stand as a
block in the path. 1t could hardly
afford to do so, for such an attitude
by any party would prove disastrous
to it. However, while there are pos
sibilities that the question may reach
an amicable settlement as result of
the conference the chances are con-
sidered very remote.

THE FIRST EFFECTS.
The Knitting Mill Will Employ But
so or IS Hands Instead of 200.
Hon. John A. Willard Says that this
and Other Protected Indus
tries Will Go Slow.
If the Threats of the Chicago COnven-
ton Are Carried Out the Mill
Will Shut Down.

Mr. j. A. Willard was interviewed
yesterday afternoon, just before his
departure for Chicago, by FREE
PRESS reporter in regard to the result
of the election upon manufacturing
interests, and especially local inter-
ests. To the question, GLOW will
the result of the election affect the
knitting mill?" he replied
SIT is impossible to tell in perma-
nent way until Congress shall consid-
er the tariff Should it consumate by
legislation what the Chicago conven-
tion demanded, have no doubt but
that it will shut up our mill and all
similar ones through the country, for
| do not believe that labor will sub
nit, until hunger causes it to, to work
for wages low enough to enable the
mills to run at a profit. So far as
ours is concerned it will shut down for
four years rather than run at loss,
and | suppose that most of the others
will do the same.
"Of course, if we really believed that
Congress would do what that conven-
ton demanded we should stop now,
with our building uncompleted. Not
fully believing it, and still feeling I'M
certain, we shall feel our way, COM
plete the building, put in the ma
chinery already contracted for, but
buy no more, and go to work with per-
haps 80 or Is hands next year, when
we expected before its close to have at
least 200. We shall carry as little
stock aswe can get alongwith and wait
and see whether Congress will carry
out the threats of the convention to
ruin the business. Such, | think, will
be the waiting policy of manufacture
ers affected by the tariff all over the
country. While have now and al
ways had great confidence in Mr..
Cleveland, the great question is can
he control an element that caused a
great party in its national convention
to resolve such wholesale obstruction.
No matter how economically the gov
eminent is run, a certain large reve-
nue. is required, which has always been
raised by imposts; in levying the same,
why wipe out protection to American
industry and American labor by low
ering the tariff on something made in
this country, under the pretence of
lowering the price to the consumer,
when to get the required revenue they
must put higher tariff on something
| like tea or coffee, not raised in this
country. Such a course in the end
| does not save the consumer any money
and at the same time ruins the pro-
Queer. 1t would seem folly to adopt
such a course simply to destroy the
principle of protection root and
branch, as some of them put'-it
Should they adopt such course it is
safe to predict that the American peo-
pie will get so much of it in four years
as to be unwilling to try it again for a
generation

In Hands of The Plague.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-News just
received in this city from CordOva,
Mexico, gives most distressing &C
count of the state of affairs there.
Yellow fever has ragged there with
awful violence and carried away al
most 1000 people of the town, and
most of the inhabitants have fled to
the mountains to escape the plague.
On the day the letter was written the
only human beings that could be seen
in the streets were few convicts that
had been pressed into service for car
rying away the dead. Cardova is a
pretty little town of about 1000 in
habitants in the heart of the Orijaba
mountains of Mexico.

IT has finally dawned upon the St.
Paul Globe that the Minnesota legis-
lature is Republican by a ''small ma
jority." 1t took the Globe long time
to ascertain a fact that has been ap-
parent for week And no sooner
does Mr.. Baker find out this fact than
he proceeds to demand the defeat of
Senator Davis for reelection
You cawn't do it you know, Bro
Baker! This is deal in which the
English government will not be per-
mitted to dictate, but where Re-
publicans-loyal to Americans and
American institutions will elect
Cushman X. Davis in accordance with
the emphatically expressed will OF
the voters of Minnesota. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that recommends.

below par with the incoming legisla-
ture of this State.

] SINCE the result has been made
known sthat the Democrats would
have complete control of the govern.
ment, there has been more or less talk
of an extra session of congress imme.
diately after the Inauguration of Mr..
Cleveland, for the purpose of revising
| the tariff to meet Democratic views.
Whether any of this came from an
authentic source or not is immateri-
al, but it is deemed Of enough impor-
lance to be noticed by leading and in
fiuential Democrats. 1t swould be
opposed that if the Mckinley law is
such bad piece of legislation, if it
adds to the burdens of the people, and
is, moreover, unconstitutional as the
Democrats officially declared, they
would have it removed at the earliest
possible moment. That they would
not allow the matter to rest year
before the first move is made, but
would begin action as soon as they
were in position to do so. Conse-
quently it is amusing to note how
prominent Democrats declare that
they know nothing about an extra
session. and how others are tumbling
over each other in their anxiety to
assure the public that there will be
no extra session. All this indicates
that Democracy will delay the day of
action as long as possible. After the
first delights of victory have worn off
they perceive the great responsibility
that is placed upon them. So they
will shirk that responsibility as long
as possible and in the end fail to re-
deem their pledges. The Democratic
leaders recognize the fact that any
thing which they may do that will in
any way interfere with the present
will be fatal to their flu
ture. The logic of the situation would
call for an extra session, but they will
let logic take care of itself and con-
tent themselves with the spoils of
office.

IT is proposed to build an electric
railway from Chicago to st. Louis,
which will carry passengers with safe
ty at the rate of 100 miles an hour
With such road in operation there
would be no use for passenger trains
run by steam. They would be sent
to the rear, as was the stage coach
when steam was first utilized. He
would indeed be rash man who
would venture to predict electric rail
ways an impossibility. We stand to-
day upon the very threshold OF. discov-
cry in the electric world, and the pos
sibilities of the ''fuid" have not yet
been made fully known. If line is
built between Chicago and St. Louis
and is successfully operated, it will
be but a.question of time before the
United States will be spanned by a
network of electric lines, as it now is
with lines of steel. We live in fast
age and if device can be brought
forth whereby people can be hurled
across the country with any degree
OF safety in one half the time they
now are, present methods of convey
ance would soon become obsolete.
Such is the character of remorseless
time. 1t cares nothing for the peo-
pie, nor for the vast capital that is
invested in any particular line, but
marches from one discovery to anoth-
er, and marks it's path with the
crumhling ruins of what had been
the necessity'of.the age it left.
