The man who is willing to compromise
when great principle is involved, is not
ut to be leader.-Westerly Tribune
The man who is not willing to compro--
mise when great principle is involved
is not fit to be a leader. No great prin-
ciple was ever yet advanced except by
compromise.
When Congressman Mills talks on the
tariff he expresses sincere views, matured
by lifelong study, and is sure to carry
the conviction that always. results from
sincerity. His serious, scholarly and able
presentation Of this theme is In pleasing
contrast with Tom Reeds careless and
hippant treatment t.-Boston Globe.
No one questions Mills sincerity. No
body would talk free trade in Massachu-
setts as he does but sincere man or
an idiot.

Give the new folks show. Mistakes
aren't always due to ignorance, as the
News knows.

think Of it.
The PROVIDENCE NEWS is now a two-cent
paper, It's life as one-center was short
and probably not happy.-Newport News.
Well, brother in misery, it was mixed
some fun and much hustle. But we
had the satisfaction of not being Mug
wumpish anyhow.
II is evident that most women value the
suffrage very lightly. 1t has never been
tested under more favorable conditions
than those now presented in the intelli-
gent community of Massachusetts,
Woonsocket Reporter.
The Reporter is too little to understand
these things. Women have better chance
TO try the suffrage in England ynd Canada.
where they have full municipal suffrage,
in Kansas, where similar Privileges are
accorded to them. in Wyoming where
they have absolutely free suffrage; in
but what's the use in TALKING grown up
talk to such a sweet little thfngs
The PROVIDENCE NHws, Republican
daily, on Monday appealed IL what may
be a permanent form, etc., pages, and a
practical price, cents. With these
changes and a constant progression in the
securing Of news, we see no reason why
the start which this daily has secured may
not develop into profitable and popular
anency.-Burrillville Gazette.
That is a rather cautious Endorsement,
but it goes. And so does the NEWS.
Mr.. Mills made a very good plea at
Melrose for free raw material and a tariff
for revenue More than half the people Of
New England agree with him on these is
sues.-Bulletin.
Half the people of New England do
not agree with Mr.. Mills when he says
he don't want to protect anybody or any
thing against competition.
Mr.. Blaine returns TO Washington at
last, probably at great personal risk, for
his health cannot endure another over
strain. The Cabinet, however, must be
remodeled after the November elections,
and he must be on hand TO help OF retire
permanently from active life.-Bulletin.
Anotherinstance of the wish fathering
the thought. The Bulletin would like it
we'll if Blaine were out of the race.
The question, Of course, naturally arises:
Why were Democratic principles subvert-
ed and Democratic precedent ignored in
this most important matterg What is
there behind itS Who, besides the chair
man, is responsible for it Telegram.
Who is running the Democratic party
in this city anyhow? You, or the Dem
ocratic voters!
Divorced in New York city: Grover
Cleveland and George William Curtis
The former will now be known as Dem
ocrat.-Boston News.
Wrong. He'll be most famous as the
father of Ruth, the best advertised
baby in the world.
The mortgages released in Kansas
last month are now said to aggregate
100000 more than those placed upon
property during that time. Only twenty
counties show different condition Of
affairs, and these are in the extreme west
ern part Of the State, where the unde-
velopcd state Of the country makes any
deduction from statistics Improbable.
Evidently the calamity orators of Kansas
have lost their occupation for the present
at least.-Journal.
Seems to me the Journal itself has
been limiting that the industrial de-
cadence of New England is not thing
to be joked about. That's calamity poll
tics.
