We appreciate the Telegam's delicaco
in not calling on the News to supply the
needed information, but we supply ii
| nevertheless. And in looking for our
list, the Telegram will have an oppoi'-
tunity TO see in our columns evidences of
prosperity which we hope will be as
| gratifying as it is to us.
An English estate, which nine years ago
| sold for hundred thousand dollars, has
| now been sold for sixty-five thousand.
That is a depression in price such as would

men now bowling in the American ranks
of free trade.-N. Y. Sun.
The Sun, which is wise luminary,
evidently thinks Tammany is sufficient
load without trying to work the calamity
issuealso. The Suns example might be
studied with profit by the Journal, which
is staggering along with both Tammany
and Calamity on its bent shoulders.
Candidate Fassett in New York has
been challenged by the Democrats To "a
joint debate with ex-State Senator Grady
on the issues of the campaign. Mr. Fas-
sett wisely refuses to accept the challenge,
| demanding as his right that, if any orator
is to be matched against him, il shall be
Mr. Flower, who is the chosen representa-
| tive of the Democratic party, as he Is of
| the Republicans. News.
Fassett has some sense of humor. His
grave invitation TO bag of dollars To
come up and talk is amusing. Dollars
chink, 1t is true, and money talks"
but only metaphorically.
Mr.. Clevelands speech TO the New York
Democrats last Thursday was sound and
sensible. The issue now is the tariff. It
Is too plain and unmistakable To be
lodged. d.-Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.).
It's fact. The tariff is an issue.
There Is one other. 1t is Tammany, an
organized appetite, coarse, ravenous and
criminal, with its paw on the State
House at Albany and its yellow, gleam-
ing eye on the capitol at Washington.
But down in Massachusetts they can see
no issue but Gov. Russell's administra-
tion."

Exactly, and lively work in the marble

now living in Rhode Island will be glad to
hear of the parental prosperity.
THE PROVIDENCE NEWS, the latest conner
in the newspaper field, is very attractive
in form and makeup, and there is a deli
| cacy and wholesome crispness in its style.
| There is room for the newcomer, and we
| trust it will live long and and prosper
Pawtucket Gazette and Chronicle
Thanks. The NEWS expects to live
and prosper and TO be consistent in its
Republicanism.
| 1t is because of the large increase in in
ternal revenue, for which no thanks are
| due to Mckinley ~ Co., that Mr. Foster
has managed to avoid the disclosure of a
deficit. But the fact of a deficit will be-
| come sufficiently apparent before the cleo
tions of lS92-Chicago Herald.
These Democrats are hard to satisfy.
| Awhile ago they were howling about the
| surplus and demanding that the revenue
be greatly reduced. Now that it has
been reduced about $l1 100000 more
than the Mills bill contemplated, they
begin to cry out of the other side of their
collective, individual and clamorous vo-
cal oriices about the alleged deficit.
Buffalo politics is-but having thor
oughly read all the Buffalo papers we do
not know what Buffalo politics is.-Brook-

Buffalo must be something like Paw
| tucket.
Free coinage fares as badly i'm Massa-
| chusetts as Prohibition does in Ken
! tucky, being contrary TO the traditions
and customs of the population.-Bulletin
Free coinage is hog, if it expects TO
| fare better in Massachusetts than it does
now, with all the Bay State Democrats
bowling In vociferous support of the
party which is free silver's friend.
New York, Ohio and Iowa will be fight

What the State ought to be is mat
| ter of taste. What it will be is matter
of fact Fassett is the man.
Fassett is rapidly making Tammany a
very respectable institution, both by con.
| trast with its own and Platt's methods
| and by showing that the wild charges he
makes against it cannot be sustained

The Telegram. which thinks Tam
many a respectable institution, seems to
agree wonderfully well with that other
Rhode Island organ of Tammany, the
| Journal Bulletin.
