THE NEWS" TURN NOW

SuCD 1aCtS rs tntst ptTSlSU III w
confront the exuberant indignation of the
New York Republican who lifts his
hands in holy horror at contemporary
political events in his own State.-Jour-
nal.
The News has several times ad-
vised the journal to try TO look with
more complacent eyes on Gov. Hill in
view of next years possibilities. 1t Is
glad TO see that its advice has beeu
needed.
The fight ought to be against the Re
publican party on the question OF princi-
pie and policy, rather than within the
party and regarding possible Candidates for
months yet.-Telegram.
The Telegram is evidently a close
reader of Speaker Crisp's speeches. He
has pledged himself to devote his ener-
gies in the high Office TO which he has
been chosen TO the interests of the De-
mocratic party rather than the country,
and now the Telegram urges the big and
unwieldy majority in the House to fight
against the Republican party, when it
might seem to the honest observer even
though a Democrat, as il the proper
business of the House were to further
the country's best interests by attend
ing to the business for which the men,
bers were presumably elected.
The protection which President Har-
rison claims that sixty-five millions of
people derive from the Mckinley tariff is
Just about equal to the immunity from
evil spirits derived from an old horse
shoe nailed over a barn door.-Journal.
This is very well turned paragraph.
The only difficulty with it is that the
paragrapher probably knew when he
wrote it that it was not true.
"Are new States neededY" asks the
Boston advertiser Yes, by the Repub-
lican party to assure IL of majority of
the electoral votes next year but il is a
Democratic CONGRESS that will have the
making of new States for two years to
come.-Telegram
And that is already planning to in
crease the number of free silver Repre-
sentatives. Friends of honest money
will need for the next two years to have
and to make good use of sharp eyes.
Supposing the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives had been SO
small that Mr.. Crisp could not have been
elected speaker without the votes of
George Fred Williams and Sherman Hoar,
what would those fresh young Democrats
have done with their consciences and their
promises to their constituents !-Spring-
field Union.
1t would be friendly act on the part
Of the Union to give us an easier conun-
drum.
Mr.. Potter, the mayor-elect, in his speech
before the Fourth Ward Democrats in
Providence was both moderate and mod
est. If Mr.. Potter is wise he will follow
this same moderate course in his admins
tration of city affairs. He cannot do this,
however, If he permits himself TO be
guided or controlled by such men as John
NJ. Brennan, as there is great and reason
able fear that he will do. If, however, he
refuses TO do so and acts only IN accord
ance with his own convictions of what is
Just and right, his future is in his own
hands. What will the record be Paw
tucket Times.
The Christian grace of patience is
needed in politics as in the conduct of
every other department of life's affairs.
Who will be the next Republican Presi-
Dental candidate or what Mr.. Potter
will do in the position in which he will
find himself placed presently can he
learned only by waiting for the future
10 unfold itself
II looks as though all the cities of
mayors next year-Newport News.
There is one that won't the year after
next, and that one is Providence.-Even-
ing News.
No, next year is presidential year and
Providence is quite likely to go Republi-
can.-Olneyville Times.
Providence is more than quite likely"
TO go Republican it is very certain to
do SO.
Democratic newspapers in New York
and Boston need not count on Rhode
Island i'm the Democratic column next
year because Providence has 10y chance
elected a Democratic mayor. When it
comes touauonal politics little Rhody is
still true blue Republican. - Pawtuxet
Valley Cleaner
Rhode Island is to) wise to ieopardize
It's industries and It's business interests
by giving its vote 10 the party which
has shown q conspicuous lack Of bust
ness discretion.
