intelligence OF the Republican party than
on that of the general public.-Journal.
That's q very laborious and round
about way of saying that New Yorks
general public whatever that may
be-acted intelligently In endorsing that
corrupt leader. David b. Hill, and his
tool. Flower, in spite OF the disgrace
that has come upon the Empire state
through them.
The Democrats of the city OF Proyi-
dence have a clear majority Of over 1000,
and the vote should come out.-Paw-
tucket Tribune.
The Republicans of the city of Provi-
dence can win IL they work. The vote
should come out.
This is a great. glorious, galumptious
ana growing country, despite the Mckin-
ley Dill war scares, counting out OF legally
elected candidates. and other ailments OF
the body politic.-Newport Herald.
Thanks for this much Of candor. Even
a calamity Democrat, it seems, can occa-
sionally lay aside "that tired feeling"
Mrs Ellen T. Foster Is as staunch temperance
advocate as this country contains. In one preg-
the faith that Is In her. He who neglects the great

ance Republicans. News.
We ali know Mrs. Foster as a lawyer,
well rewarded by her chief client, the Re
publican party. Like other lawyers she
is liable to tell the truth. Suppose III Is
true that He who neglects the greatest

party that repealed the .prohibitory
amendment in this State at the behest OF the
saloonists and for money as everybody
knows.-Independent Citizen.
For one thing, that the prohibitory
amendment in this State wasn't an
available good seeing that public opinion
refused to sustain it. The Republican
party can do no better than follow the
example Of Lincoln who moved no
faster than he could carry the people
with him for solid backing.
1t is said that Gov. Ladd. Lieut.. Gov.
Stearns, Col. S. +. Colt, John Nicholas
Brown, Charles Fletcher and William
Gregory are booked for the delegates to
the Republican National Convention at
Minneapolis. These are all good men, but
1t would seem to ordinary minds that 1t
would be well to let the convention do the
nominating. Newport Mercury.
And as it would seem to ordinary
minds SO probably it will be. Conven-
tions usually do the nominating, and
when their choice falls on as good men
as Gov. Ladd and his compeers fnamed
above, then it is we'll for the community.

Unfortunately we have nona- Can't
the NEWS artist draw on his imagina-
tion.-Olneyville Times.
Can't the Times draw on its own live
ly fancy, seeing that all babies are
pretty much alike at that interesting
period.
But really there is no more reason or
necessity to instruct delegates to Mime
apolis to vote for Harrison than there is
to order them to indorse the doctrine of
protection with special emphasis on the
policy of reciprocity. There are some
things that are so well understood that
no orders are necessary.
The Journal doesn't mean it in Just
that way, but it is, nevertheless, entirely
true that Republican respect and ad-
miration for Harrisons administration
are SO we'll understood as to make weak
Democratic and Mugwump attempts to
create dissension in Republican ranks
too ridiculous even to be interesting.
The eminent M. Jean de Reszke. the
handsome tenor who won so much femi-
nine admiration as member of Mr.. Alb
bey's opera troupe, is to be married next
month This dreadful news has been
published in the New York papers, and
the state Of mind of the matinee girl can
be imagined better than described.-Jour-
nal.
The Journal is a little behind the
times in its comment. Since the
matinee girl discovered the artificial
and unprepossessing character of M.
Jeans hirsute adornments her enthusi-
asm has cooled materially.
In discussing presidential probabilities
and party prospectsit is fair to the Demo-
Gratis to say that they opened their cam
paign with blunder: They planted
themselves squarely in front OF the gun
And the election will be over long be-
fore they get out OF the political hos
pital.
Trailing all beauties everywhere abound,
but the beaux will think twice before they
pick them.-Rhode Island Pendulum.
This is the worst joke the long gown
has called out, but so arrant mischief
could not expect to inspire good ones.
When both shall have crossed the
river" and a never-ending eternity shall
have spread itself before them, the editor
of the Tribune will be pleased to sit down
with the editor of the NEWS and talk
tariff" until each shall have clearly
demonstrated to the other how little he
knows OF the subject.-Westerly Tribune.
This is a kind and gentlemanly invi-
tation, but the editors of the NEWS are
reluctantly compelled TO decline it,
They have other engage
ments for eternity. Besides it is now
and here that the tariff is of Importance.
Lieut.. Gov. Halle has at length yielded
