we call Tammany. commanded
by an unhung murderer, captained by
thieves, divekeepers and prize fighters,
controlled for vicious purposes by vicious
men? That majority of the rank and
file and small minority Of the officers
are decent men, does not alter the char
acter Of Tammany. The decent privates
have no voice. The few decent officers
are chosen for outside effect, and cannot
overbear the majority.
What's Tammany to RHODE ISLAND?
Well, not much, except that Cleveland
can't win unless he carries New York
by grace of Tainmany, and Tammany
is likely to enforce conditions which will
make an American blush for his coun-
try.

pIxoN,s DEFIANCE.

The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who is
at present under indictment for libel
found by Tammany packed grand
jury for telling the truth about Tam
many's Excise Commissioner Koch, EVIL
IDENTIFY does not propose to be frightened
into silence. Speaking as Democrat
from the South, where Democracy is
principle and not an appetite, and speak
ing for the good name of the city where
he lives, Mr.. Dixon said from his pulpit
yesterday:
Tammany Hall Is the most powerful
coterie Of organized criminals that ever
tfUuIiuHtet the tire OF any CIVILIZATION. It
makes and unmakes judges and juries. IL
feeds and breeds on vice and crime. With
merciless iron heel 1t crushes the weak
and ntimidates the half-hearted and de-
fies the strong. II Is the one withering,
blasting curse of our city's life, damning
with the hot breath Of corruption and dis
honor every ramification of our body
polite. Like fostering cancer 1T Is liter.
ally eating the heart out OF the honor OF
our ambitious young manhood.
IL it be true that the life of minister
OF the Gospel Is not safe who dares seri-
ously to attack Tammany Hall, then in
the world knew IL.
BY birth, tradition and association as
Southern man, l am "a Democrat, and
voted that national ticket in the last cleo
ton. But the Democracy / learned in my
old native State meant honesty and in-
tegrity aud dccency. A Southern Demo
crat cannot affiliate with Tammany Hall
without first lowering the standard of
his manhood and selling his soul to the
devil.
l take the occasion to warn the ma
tional Democracy that Tammany Hall Is
load IL cannot carry longer. Before the
party comes before the nation to win an
other victory il wilt first have to kick
Tammany out of its back door and turn
on the hosepipe. After trying TO destroy
the State of New York they come sneak
ing back from Chicago saying they will
support the ticket.
They liel They come back with honey
on their lips, treachery in their hearts and
knives in their boots. They will do In
November what they have done before,
and spend another four years in trying TO
lie out OF It, The difference between the
present regime of Tamniany Hall aud
that of it's founder William NJ Tweed. Is
tue difference between the ethics Of bun
CO steerer aud highway robber.
Mr.. Dixon's reference to Tweed as the
founder" of Tammany Is probably a
slip of the tongue. It cannot be an
error of igorance, for the sturdy
preacher knows so much more about
Tammany than its chiefs like to have
him know that they are trying to scare
him into silence. Otherwise the charac-
terization is correct in substance, moder-
ate i'm tone. What else than "co-
terie Of organized criminals can

AS 1 WAS SAYING.

President Metcalf says there will be no
more electric cars built so large as the
present ones run on Broad street. They
are very fine cars, but SO heavy that they
are unnecessarily noisy. A well-known
physician living on Broad street says
that when crossing the street ia his car
riage he always comes to a full stop be-
fore reaching the track, especially where
houses prevent a clear view up and down
the track.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Activity IN politics is equivalent to
dullness In trade and the campaign
which is now fairly begun will probably
be attended by condition of business not
materially differing from the present.
There are however aside from this ele-
ment of dullness conditions existing
which cannot be changed in season to
add to the general confidence. The
financial condition Of the country
is becoming source of grave
apprehension. Our gold continues to be
drawn from us by Germany because she
offers high premiums for it. This is
special condition of affairs, it is true, but
it does not obviate the fact that our stock
of gold is small and constantly decreas-
ing, with government gold reserves at
only $114, 900 900, or 18 per cent. Of the
holdings of foreign banks, as compared
with over 40 per cent. two years ago.
This, added to the decrease in bank re-
serve, has served to put check on the
stock market which is not likely to be
soon removed.
The news of Importance in financial
circles during the week was the state
ment by President Parsons of the New
York and New England that the Housa-
tonic deal would be of great benefit to
the road. It liberates the New England
from a traffic agreement that was
drawing $l25, 900 per year from the New
England's earnings; it also frees the
board of directors from that ele-
ment which was opposed to
all improvements and expected
the road to compete with its more
modern neighbors with antiquated and
inadequate facilities. All Of these are
now eliminated from the management
of the road and the prospect of the sue
cess of President Parsons voting trust
will leave him in position to make a
success of the road if success is possible.
The rumored entrance into New York
city and the filing of the $25, ,00o,000
mortgage on Saturday are both plans of
the new management. Whether the
oft asserted and oft denied traf-
fc alliance with the Reading
is fact or not is question
of not so much moment as already exist
ing conditions are. Those conditions are
that New England is under new control
and i'm the hands Of a man who appar-
emily knows what he Is about, and is in
fair way to accomplish his purposes.
Ii is also fair to say that most conserva-
tive business men have confidence in
Mr.. Parsons.
Turning aside from New England, the
West presents more favorable conditions
this week. The receding floods have
left the crops less damaged than was
feared. The rice crop promises to
double that Of last year and the sugar
crop is also ahead of that of last year.
General crop conditions are good. Trade
at Omaha and Kansas City is active. In
other sections IL is good, but not espec-
tally active. Except in iron and steel,
prices are fair.
In that market, however, the out
look is filed with gloom. The refer.
ences in these columns for the past few
weeks to the pending trouble between
the association of amalgamated iron
workers and the manufactures are
proving true, lockout and strike
seem now unavoidable. The great
Homestead factories Of Mr.. Carnegie
refuse to recognize The association, and

PROHIBITION AND FREE SILVER.

PROHIBITION AND FREE SILVER.
The National Prohibition Convention
meets in Cincinnati on Wednesday of
this week, and Miss Frances Willard is
credited with planning to bring before
it q truly interesting and amusing
scheme. Her idea, as set forth by her
friends, is as follows: To put up Gen.
Bidwell of California as the Prohibition
nominee for President, and the Rev. ID. c.
Kelly of Tennessee for Vice President on
the understanding that these gentlemen
are to be swapped off for the Peoples
Party candidates IL the Omaha conven-
ton, which is set for July Fourth will
put Prohibition plank into its platform
and in case that convention nominates
for the Presidency either Gen. Weaver,
Mr.. Powderly or Ignatius Donnelly.
Miss Willard must excuse us while
we laugh, for with all respect for
most able and a most sincere woman
for whose life work no praise can be loo
high, this new notion of hers brings the
third party Prohibition movement to
its reductio ad absurdun. Freak Dom
nelly before Benjamin Harrison
Miss Willard and her co-workers, for
strong group of Prohibitionists are
said to have enlisted on her side, are
ready to swallow free silver if free sill
yer will take up Prohibition. This is
the delirium of fanaticism. The Omaha
convention has its origin in the refusal
of both the great political parties to de-
clare i'm favor of national bankruptcy.
Against the business interests Of the
country, against common sense, against
common sanity the selfish ignorance
Of the Western miners and the poor
white ignorance of the South is propos-
ing to array itself, and an influential part
of the Prohibition following is ready to
fall in line. Greenback Weaver can
have the white ribbon support, Freak
Donnelly can have it; but can the ribbon
stay white if so worn?
Miss Willard's position, after all, Is
logical. The Prohibition organization
has done its puny best to destroy the
party which guards the interests Of the
home. 1t has turned its arrows
against the party which has built
up the nations prosperity, the only
party from which it had itself anything
to hope. 1t has been reckless Of the
country's good, it has defeated its own
cause. Is there anything more in har.
mony with its record than that it should
now ally itself with the most desperate
and, fortunately, the feeblest Of the ma
tons enemies?
The NEWS will not say such hysteria
might be expected of women in politics.
that would not be just, but it will say
that women who go into politics should
do so with juster sense of political re-
sponsibilities.

A DEFT AXEMAN.

Mr.. Adlai Ewing Stevenson was asked
by bold interviewer on Saturday how
many Republican postmasters there were
in Office when he was appointed Assist
ant Postmaster-Ge He said he
didn't know, but he thought there We're
about 40 900, and then he went on of his
own accord to describe his method Of
decapitation instructively and entertain
ingly. Il never beheaded Republican
Postmaster merely because he was a
Republican, but when majority of the
Democrats of any town or district ex-
pressed desire that Democratic Post
master should be appointed in place of a
Republican then in Office, if their desire
could be gratified, considered it my duty
as Democrat to oblige them. l didn't
hunt up places, as tell you, but / did
my duty as a Democrat"
General" asked the interviewer,
"about how many Democratic Post
masters were there when you left Officer"
81 don't know exactly" was the
answer, "but think there were about
40. .OO0."
Thus gently and deftly and without
offensive partisanship, merely in pur-
suance of his duty as Democrat,
Stevenson worked the guillotine. There
are more ways than one to kill a cat,
but, provided her ninth life is thorough
ly extinguished, the precise method
doesn't matter so very much to pussy ;
nor, presumably, is it much consolation
to Adlai's 0,00O victims that the grim
"maiden" embraced them not because
they were Republicans, but because
Democrats wanted their salaries.
As public executioner Adlai de-
serves twice the reputation of M. de
Buffalo himself, and for his skill with
the axe will command the heartiest sup
port of the whole swarming tribe of
starving spoilsmen. No man in the his
tory of this country was ever nominated
SO BADLY and unblushingly on his spoils
record. No man ever appealed more
openly to the tigers cubs by the prom
Use of blood fresh and plenty. No man
was ever made by-word and mock
ing after more humiliating fashion
than is Grover Cleveland, the civil ser.
vice reformer, by his running mate, the
heaisman.
BY the way, how do you pronounce it,
Adlai? -
Are you going out or town for the
summer?
Keep your eye on Providence.
