The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-07-05
The NEWS" TURN NOW

into line with the rest of the Republican
organs and is working the free trade I"
scare for all II - worth. We do not
recollect to have advocated any such sys-
tenn, but of course that doesn't matter
Newport Herald.
You don't stand on the Chicago plat
form, then? We didn't suspect you OF
bolting.
The PROVIDENCE News has considerable
to say about Headsman Stevenson. Con-
sidering the prominent part Headsman
Clarkson took in the inception OF the
NEWS" it would be better form for that
paper to make fewer references to men
who have run the guillotine. .-Olneyville
Times.
Well make as many remarks about
Headsman Stevenson as the spirit moves
us to make. Mr.. Clarkson isn't running
for President behind an apoplectic
bogus civil service reformer. Besides, he
isn't half as much of an axeman as
Adlai. As for the article he kindly
wrote for the NEWS first number, what
has that to do with the case?
The annual mad dog scare has again
begun. But il is well to remember that
imaginary mad dogs outnumber real mad
dogs a thousand to one. The genuine
mad dog, though. he sometimes appears.
is very rare animal Tri-
bune.
So rare that Supt. Hankinson of the
N. Y. s. p. G.. L. A., who has had
wider experience than any other living
man, never saw one. 80 rare that DR..
Gibier, the quack who's getting rich
out Of the Pasteur Institute in New
York, never saw case Of rabies that he
was sure Of. Come, let's join hands in
Democratic-Republican campaign in
favor Of the right Of dogs to life. liberty
and the pursuit OF happiness. Dogs
have fits in hot weather. Shut 'em mp,
give 'em plenty of water, but no food
for twenty-four hours. They'll come
out all right.
Do you remember the great powwow
in Newark, N. j., a few years ago. Dog
bit six or seven boys. Popular sub
scription to send 'em to Paris to Pasteur
(Gibier hadn't begun his precious insti-
tute then.) Boys were utterly ruined by
the fuss. Got the "big head" One
went into dime museum. Sad affair.
Dog never mad at all. Shut up for
awhile, got well, let go. Never killed
at all. May be alive yet. for all we
know. Big huinbug. Superstition.
Nonsense.
1t is devoutlv to be hoped that, however
the coming contest may result. this cleo
tion will not be close one.--Boston Her
aid.
There we may strike hands. A big,
big majority for Harrison will suit us
well enough.
Not even the Pinkerton detectives have
hQQn a hla TN find "A mill farfnrv In this
country where wages have been advanced
through the operation of the Mckinley
tariff.-Newport News.
Many such cases have been found;
many new industries have been started
which pay well, especially in the max
ing of tin and buttons. But in the
main you don't expect higher wages
from tariff reductions, do you?
Let us not be satisfied with a million
voters next November. - Independent
Citizen.
No danger. You won't be.
Our neighbor of the PROVIDENCE NEWS
campaign" just wait till he swelters
through this month and next and see
how he'll change his tune.-Attleboro
Sun.
The NEWS doesn't change its tune. 1t
sings the good old song OF Republicanism
in every issue, hot weather or cold wea-
ther. Do you the same.
There Is perhaps no truth in the state
ment that the manufacturers Of oil are
running extra hours TO produce sufficient
product to lubricate the jaws Of the ora

Not bad idea. But the an ti-tariff
mems jaws will need it more.
The nomination OF ex-President Cleve-
land is the first instance of the kind on
record where a Presidential candidate
has been nominated against the wishes of
the solid delegation from his own State
Newport Mercury.
Probably when the result is known it
will be the last.
The New York Sun sees no hope for
Democratic success unless the Democrats
openly oppose the Republican policy of
fair elections. Torchlight.
There never has been any hope of
Democratic success, not the slightest,
except by denying fair elections. Cleve-
land would never have been chosen
President without the denial Of political
rights to the Republican majority in
more than one Southern State. The
present Congress wouldn't be Demo-
cratic IL there had been free elections in
the South.
Buzzards Bay people will be more anx.
ious than ever to change the name after
the attention Of the country has been
called to 1t all summer by Mr.. Cleve-
lands assiduous devotion to the noble
sport of blue fishing. - PROVIDENCE
Journal.
We cannot sympathise with those who
desire to change the name of Buzzards
Bay. 1t was, perhaps, derived from the
specimens that at one
time infested that region. The place
has more recently been brought into
through the presence of
buzzards of political type, and any
change of name, just now, would be cal
culated to do violence to every sense of
propriety.
Mr.. Cleveland is a man of great force,
