THREE THOUSAND ACHING ARMS.
The Fight Against the Outbreak of Small
Pox in South Boston.

Boston, February 27.-Two more cases
of small pox were found in South Boston
today. One is a young girl Ia years of
age, living on Eighth street. The other
is man on Fifth street The girl was
taken to the hospital this morning and
the man this afternoon. Both cases are
supposed to have originated from the
affected family on Eighth street where
the disease first started little over
week ago. Vaccination is progressing
rapidly in the district. A house to house
canvass of doctors is, to the minds of the
members of the board of health, the only
way to stop the spread of the disease.
Over 5000 arms have been operated up
on. Refusals are being met with in
number of cases, most of whom are men.
The board intends to prosecute all who
refuse to be inoculated.

horse while the other ATTEMPTED to get
into the buggy. Selling a shovel, Mrs.
Behrens felled the brute to the ground.
Getting out of the buggy, she continued
to beat him with the shovel until he was
unconscious. Meanwhile a dog they had
was engaged in mortal combat with the
other negro. The faithful beast was
getting the worst of the battle when
Mrs. Behrens went to the rescue. and
with her spade felled the negro to the
earth. She administered to him also a
fearful beating and then drove to town,
Officers from Brenham went to the scene
and arrested the negroes.
The town of BRENNAN was full of
armed men last night who were deter
mined to lynch the negroes who at
tempted to assault Mrs. Behrens and her
companion. The sheriff appealed to the
crowd to disperse and sent for Mrs.
Behrens to persuade the mob not Ito
molest the prisoners, who will probably
die of their injuries.

cured the attendance Of Congress-

Stearns county was the only one
in the district that gave Baldwin
a majority it looked quite absurd
to make wonderful demonstra-
ton over the victory that was Sc
cured by other localities. Repub-
licans have a good right to be
cheerful. but if Stearns county
Republicans are 50 joyful that
they can't but demonstrate it, the
other parts Of the district will try
and keep up it's Republican
strength by effective work, 50 that
the enthusiastic party men of

son county modestly steps into the
Republican column, and pledges a
continuance Of good behavior.

Tho Need of tho Hour.

Never before have political affairs
more widely challenged attention than
at the present time, nor the Importance
Of these matters been more generally
felt, involving, as they do, the welfare
of the citizen and nation. The capital.
ist, the investor, the mechanic, the la.
borer, are alike regarding the situation
with anxiety, and watching and wait
ing-and for what? For some one to
come forward and demonstrate the prop
er policy to be pursued and assume the
responsibility of putting it into execrl-
ton. Who is responsible for the vel
fare of government of the people, by
the people, for the people? The citizen
himself. A properly administered gov
eminent is to be secured when men, sin
cerely seeking to promote its general
welfare, bind themselves together in a
united effort to secure that end, adopt
ing as their policy those measures which
in their honest opinion are for the bell
eft of all, and which long experience
has proved to be attended with prosper
ity and success. The past history Of the
country would seem to demonstrate more
clearly than theories the policy to be
pursued-protection. The events Of the
past few months clearly indicate the
imperative need Of a return to sound
protective principles >

Wild plans will never gain favor

now the plain duty Of members of
that party who are still controlled
by reason to take such position
that they may have some influence

are wasted with the Populists,
while with the Republicans they
can have their share of influence
over party measures. The Repub.

advance the interests of the agri'

sired in that work. The Populist

Our Markets Wide Open.

We may now hope to see some reviv-
al in q number Of the British indus
tries which suffered most under the Nc
Kinley ban. It is pointed out that on
certain classes of WOODEN dress goods
imported to the value Of $1S, 900, 900
last year the duties were IS, $50, 600,
but will now be rather less than half Of
that sum. It may follow that the Unit
ed States will continue to buy such
goods to the extent Of $36, 900, 900 a
year, in which case the value of the
stuff imported would be $24, 900, 900
and the duties only $12,000,00. Thus
on this one class oHgoods much wider
market should be opened to our manu-.

1t is insisted by Washington

that the national government will
soon issue $50, 100000 more bonds
to procure gold to replenish the
gold reserve in the treasury. The
reserve is now $40, 100000 below
the amount calculated as the
proper and safe sum, and the ad.
ministration is in duty bound to
keep the amount up to the $780,.
Ifthe present admins
tration cannot keep the expenses
of the government down to the in
come, it can at least use the credit
of the government to keep the
gold reserve large enough to pre-
vent the depreciation Of the
green backs. A Republican ad-
ministration will be able to soon
wipe out the added bond debt now
being created, and Cleveland is
justified in calculating that but "a
few more bond issues will tide the
