A whole band of robbers was very
neatly trapped IN La Carolina, Spain, by
the bravery of girl of thirteen, who has
become the heroine Of the neighborhood.
She is the daughter of farmer named
Fueras, and is called Caram1ta. The
family consists of the husband an ! wife
and daughter. The farmer sold some
cattle for 81, 500, and had the money in
bis house. A hand Of robbers knew of
the sale and the money, and laid their
plans to rob the house. After the farmer
had gone out with his work. people, a
couple of strangers approached the house
"a man travel l-stained, supporting a
woman who seemed unable to walk any
further. The man explained to the
farmers wife that he was geing to dis
tant village with his wife, and she being
i'll, had broken down on the way. He
asked permission for the sick woman to
enter the house and rest while he went


find conveyance to enable them to
continue their journey. Permission was
granted, the woman taken in, and the


man left. The sick woman partook Of
some refreshments, and the mother and
daughter went on with their work. Verv
soon Caramita discovered that their guest


had on pair Of pantaloons, under the


gown. She communicated the fact to


her mother, unobserved by the visitor,


and the two manao ed quickly to slip into
another room, close and lock the door.


The visitor, left alone and knowing that


his character had been discovered, threw
off his disguise, and ordered the woman to
open the door or die. The door was not
opened, and the robber began to cut
through it with large knife. At length
he hacked hole big enough for his body,
and he began to crawl through it. The
woman tainted and fell on the floor. The
brave girl seized her fathers gun, which
was in the room, heavily charged with
buckshot, placed the muzzle against the
side of the man, now half way through
the hole, and unable quickly to get either
backward or forward, and pulled the
trigger. There was an instantly dead
man and loud report. The other robber
lurking IN the heighborhood heard the
shot and returned to the house to find his
comrades dead body plugging the hole
IN the door and hanging there. Before
he could remove the body, which was
held in the opening by the girl, and en-
ter the room where the mother and
daughter were, the farmer came with a
force sufficient to capture the other rob-
Der. Then they sent for some police to
take charge of the living robber and the
corpse. On the person Of the dead robber
the police found two pistols, a poniard
and whistle. The whistle was treasure
now, as there were doubtless more rob-
bers within its call. The police sounded
the whistle, and concealed themselves in
the house to await results. The shrill call
brought four more men into the house,
where they were Gagged and ironed, and
all five were marched to Jail in good order,
and the dead robber was buried. Little,
black-eyea Caramita saved her own and
her mothers life and her fathers mopev,
made six robbers fewer in Spain and her
self the heroine of La Carolina.

however. was only one of long series OF
disasters to the Republican cause. The Name
Senator has been repeatedly crushed during
the extra session; according to the llveiy ana
variegated authorities already referred to he
is reduced, about every second or th1rd uay,
TO a state of disgusting limpness which Would
make rag look stalwart by contrast. Mr..
Coullling has been crushed almost out OF the
semblance of humanity. General Garfield
has been crushed TO such an extent that
il would have been more merciful to 0Dlltera'e
him entirely. And strange to say, the process
in every case has been described as exceed
ipply dull. The stupidity of the debates has
been lamentod by all the Democratic journal
lists in the same breath with their shouts OF
victory: and if we can believe what they tell
MS there has not been a lively passage OF
words at the Capitol, an interesting discussion OF
principles and historic facts, contest for intel

Republicans are reported to be greatly dls-

of rhetoric that the Democracy has been We
torious. This miraculously able party is per-
petually placing Its opponents IN the
most painful and ridiculous dilemmas.
The failure of the Appropriation bills at the

coinage will think that the action of the House
does not show a disposition to repuulate
honest obligations, public or private. we
shall see about that when the question goes
TO the people for discussion. The cool Repub-
Tcan leaders have seen the precise line when
separates honest from dishonest remonetlza-
ton of silver. 1t is one question whether III
honest silver dollar ought to be coined III thiS
country. 1t is another and very different
question whether q dishonest silver dollar
ought to be coined, aud forced by law
upon public and private creditors. Nhen the
smoke of ,he combat has blown away, The Dem
ocrats will find that more than nine-tenths OF
them have irrevocably and Enthusiastically COM
mitted themselves to the coinage OF us
honest dollar, with no possibility OF benefit
20 the Government, with the certainty that
ultimate reconciliation Of silver, If desirable,
would thereby be retarded, and with the
knowledge that creditors all over the Iahd
would thereby be robbed The argument
will come hereafter, and more than enough oi
it for the demagOgUes who have insisted upon
this measure of bad faith.


For the radical characteristic of Democratic
action, in this as in other important matters
is that it has been based upon the notion that
the people of this country have neither sense
nor honesty. Undoubtedly. there was very
strong desire for restoration of silver coin
ace last year. Whether it was mistaken, as
we then urged, or was reasonable and just
this at least is certain. that the feeling
has greatly diminished since the people
have learned by practical experience
what silver coinage is and what resump-
ton of specie payments means. we nave
reached resumption, and find that il hurts no
one. On the contrary, it brings swift ana
strong revival of business and industry. And
we have tried silver coinage, and find that
nobody wants the silver who can get green
back which is as good as gold. The situation
has changed. Advocates of RECOMMENDATION
now see, too, that coinage Of silver by TINS
country only encourages the opponents OF
reconciliation in Europe. They see that
n larger and less restricted coinage here would
only take from Europe greater part OF Its
surplus silver, to our loss and to the gam OF
Europeans. In a word, the silver furor has
obafed. Men begin TO think calmly about the
matter. But the Democrats, fancylng that
the people are stupid enough to prefer II
foolish thing, and dishonest enough to prefer
q general robbery of creditors, still insist
mon wider coinage Of Gcbased silver dollars.
Some are mere demagOSues, who aim to
please the basest clements. Some are
bankrupts, who want to pluIHler cred
itors. Some are repudatOrs, who want to
strike down the public credit But, be their
motives what they may, they are on record
at last. They want a silver dollar an unlim-
tied coinage Of silver, coinage in which the
bullion holder shall be enabled to fleece both
the Government and every creditor, and a
coinage by which the public credit may be as
much as possible destroyed. They are to be
defeated, and by the Republican party. And
then they are TO answer to the people for
tLaIr acts

1t makes no difference now what the House
does with the Silver bill and other measures
affecting the currency That body has per-
formed its part. Its mission was to prove
that the Democratic party, as a body, was in
favor of defrauding public creditors in almost
every conceivable method and that the Re
publican party, as a body, was hostile to bad
money and bad faith in every form. The
votes on the various amendments to the Sill
yer bill have placed both parties on the
record. There will be no difficulty,
at any future time, in fixing the char
acter9 of either party with reference TO
resumption, the payment of the public
debt, the maintenance of honest money, or the
plunder of the public for the benefit of bull
lion dealers and mine-Owners. The Rcpubli-
cans Of the House, with few exceptions, have
done their duty. They have discussed the
question ably, and have forced yea and nay
votes upon the vital amendments That the
bill would be beaten, sooner or later by a
Presidential veto if not by majority In either
House, few have doubted. But 1t was i'm
pOrtant to fix the position of Democratic men,
bers, and this has been done. The party of
revolution will now go into the next campaign
as the party of reputation also.

but it has suffered a hard blow, aud one OF
its most obnoxious features has been fairly
nulhfed. An attempt to lay the bill upon the

correspondngly raised. An amendment by Mr..

TO win over moderate silver men from the
Republican side to the support of the bill,w
defeated by the joint efforts OF hard
money men, and sOft-mOney men for whom 1t

third section was then adopted by majority
of three votes. An amendment by Mr.. Marsh,
which provided that the coinage charges
shall be the difference between the market
value of the bullion and the legal-tender
value of the coin, and would thus practi-
cally prevent the deposit Of bullion
at the mints for coinage, was adopted. how
ever, by a vote of 1T TO 105, and the hard
money men of both parties hailed this with
delight as real victory. The effect OF this
amendment is to rob the bill of much OF its
power for evil, and its opponents are conf
