Henry Watterson's judgment Of the new

There is no one to walk into court and
demand the political rights of a dead
man. That is why the Democrats were
encouraged by Hill to steal the seat of
Senator Deane. Is il possible that the
people of New York Democrats and Re

rage? Is the Democratic party of the
State willing to assume responsibility for
the steal P--Chicago lnter-Ocean.
The leading morning Mugwump organ
declares that Ohio is for Cleveland and
free trade. Ii this Is the case the Ohioans
certainly concealed their preference very
successfully i'm the last election. There is
a strong popular impression that Ohio
went for Mckinley and protection by
about 2l,00O plurality on that happy oc-
casion. But perhaps little thing like
that doesn't count in the estimation of the
rainbow chasers.-New York Press
So far as the Senatorial contest is CON
cerned il must be plain TO every one who
gives the matter a thought that Mr..
Woods will be the final choice of the citi-
zens, even though Mr. Hahn again in
vokes the assistance of secret and benefc-
ial orders to help him in his canvas. The
reputable citizens of the largest city in the
State are not likely to send as their repre-
sentative to the highest branch Of the law
making body in the State n man without
experience and whose only claim TO politi-
cal prefcrment is based upon his single
years service in the House of Representa-
tives. to which his election was as much n
surprise TO himself as TO those who mis-
takenly voted for rhim.-Pawtucket Times

WHO SIGNED 1T.

No circular has been sent out, we
believe, during the past ten years which
contained the names of so many of our
active business men as were signed to
the call for the citizens, meeting at Mar
ragansett Hotel last Saturday to forward
the election of Mayor Smith next We'd
nesday.
Look at the names and see what they
represent and let those who fear to trust
Mayor Smith with the management of
the City Hall affairs remember that
among the signatures are the names
of men whose energy has pushed
Providence to her present position,
and who are the acknowledged leaders Of
the city's business men. More than that
there is not name on the list against
which the least word of reproach can be
uttered, and thirteen of the twenty-five
names are those of men who have never
taken any active part in politics.
They are the largest taxpayers in the
city. They pay the most money into
the city treasury. Their interests are
the largest ones at stake. If they are
willing to entrust Mayor Smith with the
executive duties Of this city need anyone
else hesitate to do so?

but we charge the Mayor with direct RESPONSE
bility for the existence of the shameful inan-
cal condition and for it's continuance, as well
as with fatuously ignoring IL and seeking TO
keep II from the knowledge OF the people.
There IL is After all this furore and
all this abuse the paper "does not advo-
cate any specific method Of relief" but

sponsible for the alleged horrors. it
howls. But we charge the mayor with
direct responsibility for the existence of
the shameful financial condition Of the
CITY,"
The mayor is not responsible for the
alleged condition. but is charged with
the responsibility for political reasons.
Why? Because the paper and its clique
have a man for his shoes. Because a
paper which has proven nothing and has
nothing to suggest wants man with
whom it thinks it may be able. to hob mob.

to mislead and to trick voters into cast
ing their ballots for Mr.. Potter.
Ii is true that the claims made by the
Democrats that Mayor Smith is inter-
ested in aiding alleged schemes Of al
legged monopolies need no refutation to
thinking men, but it is also true that the
safeguard of the secret ballot box is Of
little value when the open circulation Of
confessed untru hs is allowed to go unpun-
ished and the corruption of mems minds
is not checked by spirit Of honor which
is generally supposed to exist even
among thieves.

CAMPAIGN DECEPTION.

There are few citizens whose sense of
honor is so low that they will not
heartily condemn the method of decep-
ton practiced in the Tenth ward on the
day before the last election. The story
is short, but il discloses one Of the most
disgraceful and dishonorable pieces of
campaign work ever noted i'm this State.
Not long since some statistics were
prepared for the Advance club Of this
city, bearing on the question of the
comparative cost of municipal light
ing. After careful examination
by the club, it was decided
that owing to conflicting statements ,
the Incompetence Of the data and the
principles of socialism contained in the
reports. il was unwise 20 distri-
butte copies of them 10 the public. The
figures used had been repeatedly refuted
and disproved. Nevertheless these docu-
ments were printed in an evening paper
and credited 60 the Advance club. Ii
is these same documents reprinted
with different title page. that were
circulated among the voters Of the tenth
ward. The whole tissue of statements
contained was misleading and designed

THIS cry of extravaganza is almost as
old as the city government. The Demo-
Gratis condemned the extravaganza of
the deceased Mayor Doyle for eighteen
years, but the misguided people refused
to listen to them, and insisted on re-
electing him every time that he ran for
the office. The cries of extravaganza
against Mayor Smith will be equally
effective

NEXT Wednesdays election will deter
mine whether honest government, de-
cency, law and order represented by
Charles Sydney Smith, or the opposite,
will obtain in this city during 1892. The
question is a most important one. In
electing Smith honor will be preserved,
in his defeat the city's disgrace will be
recor1ad

THE News has published figures which
any one can verify from the official re-
cords at the City Hall showing that
while the percentage of increase in the
city's expenses for the past year has been
12 per cent. the percentage of increase
in work done and under construction has
been 81 per cent. Does that look like
extravaganza? To Democrat maybe.

ANALYzING LIrLE's STOMACH.
Charge of Poisoning to BE thorough,
Investigated. Though Discredited.

DR.. Heliker IS making chemical analysis Of
the stomach of Willis Little in order to discover
whether there is any ground for the eharge Of
arsenical poisoning. The process requires time
ana much labor, involving the use OF very costly
apparatus.
The doctors present at the autopsy were unani-
nous in their conclusion that poisoning had
nothing 70 do with the death aud that, If arsenic
had been given the boy. il was the exact drug
which would in his condition have prolonged
his life.
Dr. J. B. Lowry said that while the cause of
death was perfectly apparent TO one present at
the autopsy, yet as charge OF poisoning had
been made the ANALYSIS must be made. Coroner
Horizons views coineided with those of DR..
Lowry, and be expressed the opinion that con-
sumption was so evident from the condition of
the lungs that the theory of poisoning was alb
surd. He said tina. even should the examina-
ton show signs OF arsenic. that would not figure
as the cause OF death or as the sntecedent OF the
complications which resulted in death
Funeral services over the remains were held
at II O'Clock yesterday morning at Cross Co s
undertaking rooms, and the body was buried in
Mount Pleasant cemetery.
