TIE FIVE O'CLOCK BILL.

The five o'clock bill, so-called, was
this morning brought up in the lower
house Of the Legislature and its consid-
Grafton indefinitely postponed.
The measure was right in principle
and perfectly feasible Gov. Ladd's
suggestion was intended to place this
State in line with others and to prevent
some Of the scandals that now distinguish
the last hour at the polls. He was of
course perfectly aware that earlier clos
ing of the polls would necessitate the
observation of the day as "A whole or part
holiday, and made that definite sugges-
tion in an interview published in the
NEWS on Jan. 25th. In his message he
also suggested that the number of poll
ing places mig It need to be increased to
permit all to vote.
But there is reason to doubt whether
the workingmen of the State would care
TO have all election days made compul-
sorry legal holidays, and certainly the
added expense has been used as an OBJ
lection to the multiplication of polling
places. The Hon. Hugh j. Carroll,
leader of the Democracy, was two years
ago, when the bill was passed to make
the April and November election days
holidays, dared" to favor making
these holidays COMPULSORY, and fatty
refused to do so.
The Democratic policy was then, as
now, to misrepresent every measure pro-
posed by Republicans and carefully to
avoid anything which might look Ike
definite independent action. The policy
Of the Republican party is now, as it
was then, to give every proposition a
full and fair hearing, to fear no
Misrepresentation, trusting in the
common sense of the people
to rate men and measures
at their true worth. The five o'clock
bill was not party measure, but it was
proposed by one of the most progressive
governors Rhode Island ever had as a
basis of discussion. To it, in his NEWS
interview, he invited the fullest express
sion of opinion, and, in Difference to such
expressions, it is now withdrawn. Per-
haps some day when Rhode Island,
always a conservative State, has further
considered this proposition. it will meet
with legislative approval.

THE ELDERS DANGER.

The grounding of the Elder on Ather-
field rock near Ventnor, is the last of a
long series of accidents to passenger
vessels which have involved more dis
comfort than damage TO life and limb.
The Oregon began it when she attempted
to make short cut to New York across
Long Island. The City of Rome poked
her nose against the Fastnet rock and
the City of Paris broke her machinery
in midocean and drifted about for days
before towed into port. Then there
have been numerous "close shaves"--of
rock, icebergs or what not--which have
blanched the cheeks of timid passengers
and shown what awful possibilities there
are at sea. But always excepting the
terrible crash on the Thingvalla steamer
when so many immigrants lives were
lost. there has not been of recent years
much to alarm the most timid of Allan
tic passengers. And there is no doubt
that ocean travel becomes every year
more safe.
Yet il is disquieting enough when a
ship like the Elder goes ashore in the fog.
The high speed of modern ocean vessels
lessons danger when all is clear, but GER
tainly increases it when everything is
one thick blur round about and sea and
sky are the same perplexing gray.

THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.

The attention of the Democratic
House, which refused TO send the grain

millions, is respectfully directed to the
following report received by the Depart
ment Of state from Minister Smith at
st. Petersburg:
"An official estimate of the number OF
those without food or means of support
who require ard is given as 100000
persons and this is probably below the
true number. Time is most important
factor in the work of relief. Every week
is vital. One hundred and eighty million
hounds Of food are necessary. Fifty car
loads should arrive every day in these
stricken provinces, but only eleven car
loads per day were received during
Christmas week. The spectre of the
famine has overshadowcd everything,
and every energy must be strained tC

THE Russian Emperor has personally
given enormously. and all classes are
giving according 90 their means. "A con-
servative estimate OF the loss TO Russia,
in view of all consequences, is placed at
not less than one thousand million
roubles $500. .000. .OOO). Upto the present

The resolution to cut off the super

is the sum and substance. Is it not a
glorious record of nothingness? Two
