NEWS AND COMMENT.
Rhode Island heard Cleveland, CAMP
bell & Co. civill7. Then it wisely went
and voted the other way.
Mr.. Caruth, of Kentucky, who spoke in
Rhode Island, says that the cheers for
Cleveland threatened to take the roof off
the hall, but as the result shows the
.'cbeers" didn't elect the Democratic can
didates.
The platform of the Democratic leaders
in Congress-We believe in free trade, and
the free coinage of silver, but it is lmpol-
itic to commit ourselves on the latter up-
til after the Presidential election.
Cleveland has the enthusiastic support
of every man who was appointed to office
under his administration. They like Mr.
Cleveland, are willing, not to say anx-
ous, TO again serve their country, for a
salary.
There will be no mistake as to where
Rhode Island will stand next fall. 1t
will be IN line for American wages, Amer
can industrial independence and the
maintenance of the comfortable American
home.
The fourth annual congress OF the Scotch
Irish Society of America will convene in

Mr. Villas, who was a member of the
Cleveland cabinet, has written letter to
an ex Confederate in Virginia, in favor of
the denomination of Mr.. Cleveland. But
ex-Congressman Gibson, of West Virginia,
saws over his own name, that Mr.. Villas,
when at the head of a government depart

holding a minor position in that depart

John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia
merchant, says that during the ten days
previous to Christmas his sales covered
about 500, 900 day, so that the grand
total for the ten days was only few dol
lars under million. He adds: spend
s., 900 week in advertising, and pay a
skillful mana former editor, and good
one 5000 a month to do 1t for me. |
make money by it. Advertising is the
leverage with which this store has been
raised up. do not see how any successful
business can be done without liberal adj
yertising.
The latest scheme being practiced in
many parts of the State is for an indl-
yidual to 90 to store keepers and state
that he is purchasing rare coins and pro-
duce a price list, asking the store keeper
to watch for such coins. Soon another
fellow comes IN, purchases some small
articles and exhibits several curious coins
whict he claims are pocket pieces. Ac-
cording to the merchants list, they are
worth forty or fifty dollars. He sees a
chance to make some money and after
some trouble secures the coin for good
price The com hunter never returns and
finally the merchant realizes that he has
been swindled.
An exchange has this to say of man
kind: "None are satisfied. Oae man is
struggling for justice. Some Others isl
flying from it. One man is saving
to build a house; another IS try
ing to sell his building for less than it
cost, to get rid of it. One man is spend
ing all the money he can make taking bis
gill to theaters aud sending flowers in
hopes eventually of making her bis wife,
while his neigbbor is spending all his
gold trying to get divorce. The eastern
man wants to go west, and the western
man wants TO 90 east. The farmer
wants to go to the city, and the city
man wants to 60 10 the country. The
man in trade wants to get out and every
one not In trade wants to be. The old
want to be young and the young want
TO be old and so it goes"
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of the 9TH,
SAYS The result of the Rhode Island
election yesterday has had a decidedly
depressing effect upon those Democrats in
Congress who are moro intent upon the
success of their party than of their own.
They are troubled because the Hill men
say many of the Rhode Island Democrats
had their srdor cooled by the fact that
their State convention had declared for
and the Cleveland men say
the Hill men "kniied'' the Democratic
candidates and they fear chat this feeling
will spread to other States. Some of the
leading Democrats IN the Senate, men
known to be friendly to Mr. Cleveland,
are seriously considering the propriety- of
advising that gentleman to follow the ex-
annie of Mr.. Blaine and write a public |
letter withdrawing from the contest, in
order that party harmony may be restor-
