THB Mckiuley boom kas grown to such proportions that all the other candidates are fighting bini and getting as many favorite sou candidates as possible to draw his strength.

WE publish in this issue a fit.e dialect poem, "Wilier Brunch." from the pen of oue of the REPUBLICAN'S subscribers. In it the writer Ci-ltbraies some of the exce lenr. qualities of his friends of the Ion 4 ago.

THURSDAY ILIE S A?-I Board of Health elected Dr. J. N. Hurty Secretary of the mrd. It will now be in a condition to do something in a sanitary way, as Dr, Kurty is recognizes as the leading man in the State in that line. He would have been el cted 1 ng ngo but Gov. Matthews insisted on keepiug the office in the Democratic party and 110 man so well qualified could be found for the position. It was ever tbus however in peanut politics, party before qualification every time.

THE deud body of a white baby wrapped iu some oi'i news papers, was found by a colored rag picker iu an alley betweeu the Marion Club and Builder's Ex change buildings at 7 o'clock Thursday morning. It was the well developed body of 1 .,.y, evidently born the night before and there were no ni trks of violence on it. Taere is nothing strange or startling about that nm, when connected with Indianapolis, as the finding of dead babies over there is something fearful to contemplate, as there is an average of several a month. The number disposed of secretly piobably largely exceeds the cases tnat come to light. Oue ot the leading ladies of Indianapolis, in a club talk there recently on, ''Are the

i^estlon lid Industrial Movemeats.

',S

ED. REPUB^CAN:—I attended tne citizen's meeting,tit the Masonic Hall in tfee interests oft he labor movement. I "was glad to see so mariy in attendance and so mnch interest m-iuife-ited. The addresses were very entertaining and instrustive. Especially was the speech of Mr. Hays, who has given the industrial qu -stion much thought and attention, full of wholesome advice and particular.infor' ation.

Tha aims, objects and effects of unions was clearly explained. They simply desire to bette'* the conditions of their sneiii bers. They waut a fair distribution of the wealth which their labor produces. Mr. Hays called attention to the report of tha United La tor Commissioners in wnicti it is ishown that in the United States labrn ei receive only about 17 percent. of h« wealth they produce. If such is the case and some one else gets 8B per ceut., the apportionment is not just. Any move that looks to an equitable distribution of the profits of toil, (the weal producing elemeut iu sooietj) should be encouraged "The laborer is worthy of his hire," aud everything that can be done by organization and union, should be done ti make his employment as profitable as possible.

What toe people ot every community should desire is that capital aud labor both be profitably employed. If capital is locked up banks aud .«afes, no one is benefitted by it. If laborers talk idly through our streets or tramp our highways unemployed no one derives any benefit ttier imm Itis the iuiy of every citizen to use their influence towards the employment of labor. It is also thejduty of every citizen of Greenfield to use their influence to get the managers of the bottle factory in our city, to run t/:at factory, and pay his employes living wages. No one should ask a man to work for wages that will not supply him with the necessities of life. The laborer should be paid such a price as wili enable him to live respectably. He is a better citizen when he is getting wages which enables him to live well and lay by something for a rainy day. If the laborer is employed at good wages he is a better consumer of the farmer's product he is abetter consumer for the merchant's wares. Everybody in the community is prosperous if all the laborers of the community are prosperous.

It is a mafti-r considerable importance to every citizen of Greenfield and Hancock Co. that the propriet rs of the bottle honve. run thn.t ctory as a union factory. The only object of the union is, for the betterment of the condition of its members. It is just such an organization as capitalists have. Nothing is'done in these pushing, crowdine times without organizations. Laborers must combine. The farmers should organize. It is a necessity. It is based on the principle of self-protection. Let the people of our entire community give this movement their sympathy and encouragement. Let us not allow our laborers to sink to the degredation of the laborers of Europe, as was shown by the speech of Col. aek

Our people should awaken in this matter. They are more interested than they realize. They should have heard the speech of Mr Hays. He has grown up with the work and is thoroughly informed on this subject. His speech was moderate and reasonable. He conducts himself in a fairminded, honest, conservative manner. We take it that he is worthy the confidence of our people.

Joh»ai| ^nbrodiu,

The Prussian^peasant poetess Jbhan* an Ambrosias tjitt |^dn be enabled to have her sjgall which thzeatexied to collapse, repaired. A subscription and several entertainments held) for her benefit realized 'aliriost 7,500' marks. Originally it wa& .proposed to? build a new and modbst but solid building for

abandoned upou the urgent request of the poetess herself. She does not wish anything for herself, she says, and her greatest clesire is to have her two children enter the world under-more favorable conditions than fell to her in her own private life. She will, therefore, be satisfied to have the thatched straw roof on her present small homestead simply repaired. This will take but a comparativply trifling, amount of the sum raised for her, while she will invest the balance in away to have a little fund for a rainy day and for the future education of herchildren. The committee having the funds collected in charge decided to agree to this unselfish and reasonable request of the peasant poetess.

She Attracts Birds.

Among the many peculiarities of that beautiful Avoman the empress of Austria one of the most romantic features of the present era is her strange influence over birds, which, were she of more humble rank, might prove a perfect gold mine to her. This power, never heretofore described in print, is known to few outside the court circle of Austria-Hungary, yet nothing is more wonderful than to see the birds flocking from every quarter around the empress the very moment she set3 foot in the gardens of Lainz or Schoenbrun, but especially at the latter place. There are many ornamental pieces of water at Schoenbrun, and all sorts of valuable birds, such as Australian swans, Chinese ducks, Tibetan pheasants and birds of paradise, are permitted to roam at will through this splendid domain. They all know the empress and aro subject to her power, as are also the wild birds, even down to the ordinary sparrow. They gather around her, each uttering its own peculiar cry, while the pigeons and smaller birds alight on her shoulder and arms.—San Francisco Chronicle.

German Women Agitating.

A great agitation is, a Berlin correspondent says, being carried on among women in Germany, having for its object the issuing of a general protest against different clauses of the new civic code which has just been submitted to the reichstag. As regards the civil law, women in Germany have occupied a rather inferior position, and the hopes that the new code would redress their grievances have proved fallacious. A married woman, for instance, has, if no special contract has been made, no right to dispose of her own fortune without the permission of her husband. Moreover, the latter is solely entitled to administrate and to have the usufruct of her money, even of that which she earns. Every financial transaction entered upon by a woman without the knowledge and consent of her husband can be canceled. Except in a few cases, women are unable to act as guardians. They are also excluded from family councils and so on. All this has led to a petition to parliament, but it is doubtful whether it has much chance of being-accepted.

Women Advocating Cleanliness.

The Women's Civio league of Cincinnati has attemped to bring about many reforms in the manners and customs of the Queen City. Last spring the league made an urgent appeal to the board of administration for sand piles to be scattered over the city that the children might play in them. Later the league suggested to the mayor that caspidors be placed along the edge of the sidewalks so that men might expectorate into them. Recently one of the members of the league, while riding on a street car, saw a policeman who was chewing tobacco and spurting the saliva on the floor. This lady reported the incident to the league. The women addressed an appeal to the mayor, and his honor Mayor John M. Caldwell issued an order to the police force, forbidding expectoration either on street cars or on the sidewalks. The Women's Civic league is becoming a powerful political agency in municipal affairs.—Chicago Chronicle.

Cigarette Habit Growing.

A manicure who is a close observer recently told me that she could vouch for the truth of the statement that the cigarette habit is on the increase among women of the supposed to be sensible and well to do class. A large percentage of their patrons call once a week to have the inside points of the thumb and index finger cleansed from nicotine stains. And these foolish maidens no longer puff those dainty Turkish fads of the not so very long ago. The small vice has led to a larger one, and now they [prefer the opium tinctured oriental oigurette, the consumption of which is surely on the increase.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Supplied Her Husband's Pulpit.

Mrs. Qeorge B. Frost, pastor of the Congregational church in Littleton, N. H., oame to occupy her position in rather an unusual way. Having supplied her husband's pulpit for a year, she was found so well fitted for the work that she was subjected to an examination by the ecolesiastical council, and afterward duly ordained. The arrangement is found most satisfactory, both to congregation and minister.

The Iiand of No Divorce.

South Carolina has for a long time held a unique position as the only state in the tinion which refuses to grant divorces for any cause whatsoever. It is exceedingly interesting to note the fact that the new constitution does not alter the state's polioy in this regard. Marriages between the two races are absolutely forbidden. Married women are accorded full rights of property. —Boston Transcript

ITAUAN CABINET RESIGNS. Tjhe Hwn« ^djonrn^ j|»Awiilt the AppointA agenfc of Ki«i Cabinet.

Rosas, March 6.—In .spite of the strong force e£ troops and police present about the chamber of djepnties yesterday it was with difficulty that order was maintained. As it was,, the soldiers and po-

cited populace and had it not been for the great forbearance displayed by the authorities many serious disturbances, wonld have occurred.

The chamber of deputies was crowded and the galleries were packed with excited spectators. The crowds about Monte Citorio, upon which the chamber of deputies stands, every now and again raised cries of "Down with the government," "Deash, toBaratieri," etc., etc., and from the galleries, previous to. the entry of the ministers, a number of persons wei"5 ejected by the police for uttering similar cries.

Almost immediately after the appearance of the premier, who was greeted with cheering by some of his supporters and by the cries of derision from, his opponents, he announced that the cabinet had resigned and that the king had accepted its resignation.

The announcement was followed by loud cheers which were heard by the crowds outside, aud, being understood, were taken up and echoed far and wide. Some moments elapsed before the cheering subsided and even then the loud, excited shouts of the Leftists continued for a time.

Crispi gazed calmly upon the shouting, cheering deputies, as if such a demonstration was quite an ordinary occurrence, and wlieu he was again, able to make .himself heard he added: "Tlie ministers will remain at their posts until their successors are appointed."

More cheers and shouts of disapproval followed this statement, after which the president of the chamber asked that the house adjourn until the crown decided upou the successors of the ministers who had just announced their resignations.

The Leftists raised a storm of protest against the proposition, saying that the government should be impeached, that tlie public were entitled to know who was responsible for the disaster in Abyssinia, and that there was no excuse for not making public promptly all the, facts in the possession of the ministers. But while the protests of the Leftists had been exhausted, the house adjourned, pending the appointment of a new cabinet.

FIRE IN NEW YORK CITY. Several Firms Jiurtied Out by an Early 31orning llaze.

NEW YOKK, March 6.—Fire started this morning in a 6-story building, 7 Laight street, and running back to 5 York street. The fire started apparently in the basement, w7hieh was occupied by William Radam, who manufactured a microbe killer. On the first floor was the manufactory of B. Ohlman, notions, who has a large establishment at 109-11-5 Grand street.

The building was owned by the Garvin Machine company, makers of bicycle machinery, etc. The firm occupied the greater part of the building, which was completely destroyed.

The fire was discovered by a patrolman. He sent in the first alarm and this was followed by four additional calls for assistance after the first detachment of firemen arrived. The flames spread rapidly through the structure and endangered buildings on either side and in the rear.

The damage at present can not be estimated, but it will be heavy. There was afire in the same building at about the same hour iu the morning two months ago, when $75,000 damage was done.

Holmes Has Sixty Days Yet to Live". HARRISBURU, March 6.—The date for

the execution of H. H. Holmes, the convicted murderer of Benjamin F. Pietzel and alleged murderer of 21 others, has been fixed by Governor Hasting. He names Thursday, May 7, as the day. The decision of the supreme court affirming the judgment of the lower court was received at the executive department yesterday afternoon, and was immediately laid before the governor by Secretary Beitler. The governor thought Holmes should have at least 60 days in which to prepare for death and selected the time accordingly. The death warrant was at ouce prepared and forwarded to Sheriff Clement at Philadelphia.

Dead Body Identified.

HUNTINGTON, N. Y., March 6.—The body of the young woman washed ashore on Lloyds' Neck, Long Island, Monday night, has been identified as Mary Fox of Brooklyn. The identification does nothing toward clearing up the mystery and local authorities are still unable to determine whether the affair was an accident, a suicide or a murder. Her sister, Miss Katie, of Brooklyn, thinks she must have been murdered.

Gold Coin Lost.

WASHINGTON, March 6.—The treasury yesterday lost $229,200 in gold coin, which leaves the true amount of the gold reserve $124,803,421.
