The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-12-03
THE NEWS TURN NOW.


After affairs are amicably settled In
Brazil, Chill and Patagonia we may
expect
TO hear
from the Journal
on r. l. affairs.
-IOld Farmers Almanac.
-Pawtucket Tribune.
Possibly but the chances are some
thing to interest the Journal more
heartily may turn up in the desert of
Sahara or on the east coast OF Green
land.
We have been assured by gentlemen who
publican and the Democratic parties that
special arrangements have been made to
insure an election for Mayor and State
Senator to-day. This gratifying informa-
tion will be welcomed by all our wearied
citizens who having been called upon to
save their country eight times in one year,
are beginning to doubt whether IL Is worth
while to belong to either party for the
purpose of showing their patriotism
Journal and Bulletin.
This is the latest of the interesting ex-
amples Providence has had this autumn
of the way in which the Journal shows
its patriotism.
The Manufacturers Gazette of Boston
calls attention to the fact that during the
past year there have been large additions
made to nearly every iron working plant
In New England, and that even with this
enlargement they have not been able to
meet the demand Nothing" it adds,
sis more absurd than the idle talk of ruin
and decline of New England's industries,
which were never more fiourishing and
n hrfObfQr than nrQgQnt
time. "-Pawtucket Times.
1t is not likely that the calamity
Democrats expect to be believed, but
they are like a sick man in his delirium
who repeats over and over, until he is ex-
hausted, the same meaningless sentences.
And now the Providence Nc,Us joins the
Journal in wishing the city of Providence
rid of its Prohibitionists and Clarkites.
Birds of a feather" etc.-Westerly
Tribune.
The Tribune must have cataract
over its eyes If it can't distinguish be-
tween the plumage Of mugwump and
that OF an honest Republican.
One has to be cross-eyed and almost
rattle-brained to read the PROVIDENCE
NEWS nowadays.-Pawtucke Tribune.
1t seems to be difficult for Democrat
to take in good Republican doctrine.
But it's worth the effort, esteemed con-
temporary. Keep trying.
The Prohibition vote (big Pl in most of
the elections held this fall has been
smaller than that of last year. Students
of political affairs should not overlook
this in the estimates of possibilities
Westerly Narragansett Weekly.
The third party vote is dwindling, but
there still those whom it pleases thus to
amuse themselves.
One of the great things about Mills is
said to be that when he is in the wrong he
is always willing to admit it. We shall
expect a candid admission from him in
the near future, when he discovers the
mistaken views he now holds on the silver
question.-Boston News.
He'll have long and interesting con-
fession to make if he includes his blund-
ers as regards free trade.
In the present campaign the Tribune
has said some things which IL would not
have said, had ii not been fighting jour
nalist NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tribune.
The Tribune is not wise to let its tenn
per run away with it. Let dogs delight,
etc.
Ii is reported that the doings of the
State department are to be Investigated
by the new congress. We do not think
such course will amount to much.
Blaine is Blaine, and can never be any
thing else. The country knows exactly
what he is always certain to do. The new
congress might direct its energy into more
profitable channels than attempting to
prove that Blaine is Blaine. Telegram.
The Telegram is quite right. Blaine is
Blaine and the sound of his name
awakens Democratic dread and Repub-
lican enthusiasm.
1t is we'll for Governor Russell tn 1t the
people of this Commonwealth did not
know month ago that our Democratic
Representatives in Congress were going
to support free coinage Speaker. They
did not realize the gusto with which
Messrs. Hoar and Williams and the rest
were capable of eating their own words

They should have known that the in
dividuals in question are Democrats
with all which that implies.
