The Rhode Island Storm.


There is no doubt shout the fact that
Rhode Island Republicanism is in sad
way. The little State Is shaken from oen-
TIRE to boundary-lines. II is true that 1t
would he impossible for Rhode Island TO
get I'D much Of Q shake. She hasn't the
superficial area To command the atten-
tion Of a first.class political earthquake.
But the vibration we ailude TO
significant all the same, for II cannot be
denied that Rhode Island IL u miniature
Republican Gibraltar. For long timeou
esteemed contemporary, the Providence
Journal, has been easing of nom an ex-
IRENE partisan position. This has been
made manifest a. well in its disposition TO
be lust TO the South ~ in its criticisms
Of the stalwart leaders OF It's own party.
In proportion as its attack OF negro
phobia-the worst mslsdy from which II
sufIers--haye decreased IN violence 1t has
become liberal. Ii made Ions step in the
matter OF liberality In discussing the
"Moutgomery episode" and its recent
slash at BLAINE Afforded most gratifying
evidences that 1t was getting the mastery
over prejudice. All this, II seems, was but
the fororunneY Of storm, which has
Mt last burst. In late issue the Josrno
declares that II Is "Quite unnecessary TO say
TO the Republican party Of the State Of
Rhode Island that tho time has come when
II must make an important, perhaps final,
decision as TO the character OF its methods"
Indeed is the political outlook hopeful
when paper like the Journal thus boldly
kicks against Republican methods. Ii our
Providence contemporaries utterances
mean anything they mean that the day has
passed In Rhode Island for attempting to
hold the Republican party together by the
"cohesive power Of public plumber" or by
waving the bloody shirt; and II that day
has passed In Rhode Island II goes without
saying that 1t has passed everywhere else
