The Supreme Court is evidently fair
body.-Pawtucket Tribune.
Perfectly fair. Would you be as ready
to admit it if Carroll had lost his case?
II the Tribune thinks Providence wants
a million-and-a-halfS State house it is again
mistaken. Providence would be very well
satisfied with one costing one half that
sum.-Telegram.
IL the Telegram thinks Providence, or
the State, would be satisfied with any

mirer the sun Flower.

against the national Democracy is taking
a drop like that of sky-rocket in public
opinion-Pawtuxet Valley Cleaner.
