The Life-saving Grew at Point Judith.

The Life Saving Grew at Point Judith.
Those persons who have had the
pleasure ofspassing down NarTagansett
Bay and around Point Judith known
to the people of that region as 9'Old
Pint Jude when there was a high sea
running can gain some sort of an idea
OF the merry Christmas enjoyed by the
life-saving crew stationed at the point.
Tw, wrecks were discovered early
Christmas morning, and men appeared
to be clinging to the rigging. The
crew put of and after rowing four miles
found nobody on either wreck. An at
tempt was made to return to the sta
ton in the face of the gale, but it
proved impossible to gain an inch, and
the boat WAS headed for Block Island,
which was safely reached before II
O'Clock. Here the crew OF one Of the
wrecks were found. The life savers
were anxious to get back to the main
land, as there was no means Of notify
ing their families of their safety, but it
was too rough Saturday for anything to
leave the island. The master of a small
schooner promised to take them oyer
Sunday, but when Sunday came he
weakened, and the sort Of weather that

were still urging him to make the ven

little tweive-ton schooner which the
Assistant Inspector Of Life-Saving Sta
lions had chartered with which to learn
their fate. She had lain at anchor near
Fort Adams all night waiting for the
gale to subeide q little, and had run
across In two hours and seventeen
minutes, the distance being about
twenty-five miles. A larger vessel was
obtained for the return trip, an eigh-|
teen-t0n schooner smack, the lifeboat
taken in tow and the start made. The
islanders came in large numbers down
to the shore to zee them on. declaring
that it was impossible to make the

Ir MAY not be amiss, at the commenc-
ment of the year, to thank our friends Tor
their influence in extending the circula-
ton of the DAILY and WEEKLY STATESMAN
We have said very little about it, but per
haps no other paper in the state has IN
creased so rapidly in circulation as The
STATESMAN, in the last four months. Our
friends seem TO be enthusiastic in their
commentator. We suggest that each
one of them attempt TO send us at least
one subscriber, either to the DAILY or
WEEKLY STATEsMAN.
The WEEKLY STATESMAN, containing n
clear and full statement of affairs all over
the world, with editorials can be had for
dollar per anuum. 1t is an eight-paged,
six-column paper.
The daily is SO per annum and the
only democratic paper with associated
press kilograms published at the capital.
All in reach of the daily ought to have
it. II is admitted to be a irst-clGss paper
in every respect.

dispatches of the cowardly and inhuman
assault made by John l.. Sullivan, the
slugger, on little newsboy at the Gilsey
House, Boston. 1t seems three of the

the boy left senseless.
The fact is, Sullivan, as previously
shown by the treatment of his wife, is
little more than mere animal, and a
cowardly and contemplate one at that

ONE should not make a quotation, es
pecially from Shakespeare, unless he is
certain he understands its meaning. He
should be willing to forego the credit of
the implied knowledge if he is not willing
to incur the labor of ascertaining whether
That knowledge is strictly accurate. Not
outstanding, writer's, and those too who
ought to know better, are constantly in
sertiug quotations, especially from Shake
speare, in such connections as show that
they totally misunderstood the meaning
A case in point occurs in serial story
in the January number of the Century:
The heroine of the story ("John Bode-
wins Testimony quotes from Hamlet
the sentence, conscience doth
(sic) make towards of us
ALL" understanding, conscience, =
sense, the faculty to distinguish right
from wrong. Now the connection in
which the sentence occurs, proves that
Shakespeare meant by "conscisnce" an
entirely dilereht thing. Hamlet is de-
| liberating whether so be, or not to be-
and decides not to commit suicide on ac-
count Of his conscious dread Of something
after death. The word conscience" then.
in this quotation means what we now call
consciousness" Conscience, in its mod
ern sense, never made a coward of any
man. On the contrary it has nerved even
feeble women to face danger, insult, and
the fires of martyrGom.

ACCORDING to the estimates of the gov
eminent experts, tho farmes of the United
States raised this year two billion bushels
of corn, 629,000,000 bushels of oats, and
357, 000,0O0 bushels of wheat; quite lib
eral supply of food for both man and
beast. The market value of the three
crops is put at one billion dollars. A ma.
ton that can take this sum of money
yearly from the soil is in no particular
danger of famine or bankruptcy, and
can stand a good deal of crude statesman
ship on financial and economical subjects.
This years crop of cereals is said to be
the largest on record in point of volume,
and, if equally distributed, would give
each inhabitant a ration of fifty-three
bushels, or bushel week; quite enough
TO keep the wolf from the door; that is
il the wolves are properly distributed,

CANT and presumptious OF them to ask
such indulgence and favor. No man Is
apt to kiss the hand and bow the knee to
another who has so lately attempted to
reduce him to political vassalage. No
man is so mean SO soon after such huml-
iation to allow the assumption of power
of his late oppressors, but these men
will smooth the way and by every artitice
blind the community to their former
enornities and seemingly identifying
themselves with each community will,
finally, if it is necessary, as democrats,
ask office from the lands of the very men
that at one time they would have hung
drawn and quartered. This game has
been successfully played in other states
and mark the warning and prediction,
these very men will attempt to play it in
this state.
THE New York Herald is undoubtedly a
great newspaper. 1t has no equal as a
newspaper in the world. There are many
other papers whose editorials are more
forcible than those of the New York Her
aid, for the editorials for that paper are
written upon the immediate impulse and
necessity of the moment, and while its
articles are models of newspaper style,
they are neither learned, studied or per-
feet in style, but still they meet the re-
quirements of newspaper articles. They
give expression to the first fresh thought
that is caught by that nights reading of
dispatches or news.
But this is not where the New York
Herald excels. That paper spares no
expense to give to the public the latest
and most reliable news from every part of
the world, and not content to take the
news haphazard, the proprietor goes to
the expense of sending suitable cores
pondents everywhere, so that the news
shall be the most reliable.
1t earns more money, perhaps, than al
the papers combined in the city of New
York, but it spends more to collect news
than all the papers combined. That is its
special merit. 1t gets the news at any
cost.
Even that is not al. It takes up any
question or practical subject that can be
of benefit to the whole country and pushes
the investigation to the utmost limit.
As an evidence of that fact it has taken
up the subject of rabies and pushed it in
such a way that number of gentlemen
are about to establish labratory to
which all persons bitten by mad dog
may flee, as one of old to the temple of
sanctuary, where he clasped the horns of
the altar, and was safe. Even may those
threatened with hydrophobia fly to this
labratory and be treated with the same
treatment that patients now receive from
M. Pasteur, the eminent chemist of
