AS I WAS SAYING.

The NEWS correspondent at the Min
neapolis convention says the Rhode
Island delegates tell him the NEWS full

A picnic wagon full Of little girls
clattered down Pine street Saturday
afternoon at sunset. The children were
singing America. A white haired man
stood on corner and listened.
..,5 Ny country nn2 y tis ,,Sd Of thee,
or thee sing.
With an involuntary gesture the elderly
man raised his hat, and his example
moved three or four other men to do so
also. 1t was pretty scene, the children,
the music, the patriotic recognition.
There's q youngster in this town with a
badly sprained elbow. He's eight aud
freckled and he wrestled with a bigger
youngster who said Blaine wouldn't be
nominated. He got fall and was badly
used up in the scrimmage; now he nurses
his swollen joint, carries his arm in a
sling, says he doesn't know how me tore
his clothes off his back. but is quite cer-
tain 1t was not in the cause Of the beaten
the same in big folks and little. The
defeated have few friends.
The same youngster inspected the new
hyenas at the park very critically on
Saturday. "Seems to me-" he said at
length, they're just nothing but awfully
dirty, homely pigs in fur.

terprise. IL was on par with its fake
picture of the Rhode Islands headquar-
ters parlor in the West Hotel and Others
of its series. All jugglers think them
selves cute.
I was very much interested the other
day in game of ball (catch) which saw
played by the boys at the Deaf and Dumb
School. All the emotions of an ordinary
boy were expressed, but all by gestures
and facial expressions. One of the most
interesting gestures was that made by
tall boy, when he didn't want the ball
thrown so low. and another went through
facial pantomime to indicate that the
ball was lost and he didn't know where
to look for it.
At the recent election in Cranston
newly-made Democratic voter went into
a polling place, and after industriously
working over his Australian ballot for
short time, deposited 1T in the ballot box.
He then left the room, and as he came to
the entrance met friend of his, who is a
Republican, who spoke up, saying,
Hello, Jack. / suppose you voted the
Republican ticket ?d "No." said Jack,
"d-n them. i crossed every Republican
name on the ballot" And then he did
not see why he was laughed at.

1t has become evident at the recent
hearings over the Newport contested
election cases that Rhode Island must
look to her reputation or she may soon
deserve to be classed among those States
wherein intimidation and fraud accom-
plish the disfranchisement of the Repub-
lican voter. We complain Of the South
ern ourrages, and that, too, justly, but
what shall we say when the chief magis-
trate Of an intelligent New England com-
munity is accused of frauds which equal
in quality if not in quantity the practices
Of the southern Democrats.
II can not but amaze the voters of
Rhode Island that such practices as
these can be even attributed to Mr..
Honey and his accomplices in Office
much less that they are sworn to by ap-
parantly reliable witnesses. Mr.. Shelf
field is man of integrity and one who
has nothing to gain by misrepresenting
the character of Mr.. Honey, yet he took
oath that ballots were marked by Mr..
Honey.
The evidence also states that Super
visor Boyle took ballots from ignorant
voters, marked them, folded them, and
that they were used by the voters with
out being unfolded, and this, too, with
out the request of the voter. Over thirty
ballots are said to have been Illegally
cast in this way. The city sergeant
testifies that he was ordered by the
mayor to burn the ballots. This is the
sum and substance of the testimony Of
the State, and if it seems to be proven
to the committee there can be but one
verdict.
In rebuttal Mr.. Honey at the time of
writing, has offered no proof that many
of the charges are false. He has opened
himself to a serious charge when he
again asserted that he believed the COM
mittee had determined beforehand to
deprive him and his colleagues of their
seats. Such statements are not evidence
and it is universally accepted as char
acteristic of poor cause to censure the
opposing lawyer and the judge It is
useless for Mr.. Honey to assert that it
has been customary to burn the ballots
for years, and he merely followed the
example of his predecessors in Office.
Mr.. Honey knew that there were large
number of voters who wished the bal
lots preserved. He may also have
known, as is stated by the city sergeant,
that it had not been customary for pre-
vious mayors to order the ballots
burned. They had been burned as
matter of course the next day, but in
those cases there had been no request to
preserve them. The only straw left for
Mr.. Honey to cling to is the evidence
that one Of the aldermen did ask il any
one wished the ballots recounted, and
that no one replied in the affirmative.
But such evidence is of little weight in
view of the supposed facts. A written
request had before been presented to
the aldermen to have the ballots pre-
served, and If they chose to disregard
that of what need was it TO make any
verbal request? Moreover, if these
gentlemen had made false count once
there was nothing to hinder a repeti-
tion.
The conclusions from such state Of
affairs as this evidence would indicate
are too obvious to need further COM

McDOnaid's Talk.

Joe Mcdonald, who Is resting be.
hind the bars of the county jail, is
eli ther too contemplate to give any
satisfaction to the public or Is very
much ashamed of his past dIsbolical
deeds. When q man called at the
Jail and asked to see him, he was
shown his apartment, and, upon en-
tering, he, Mcdonald, ran to the cor
ner of the cell and covered his face
with some clothing, thus proving one
OF the above reasons. He did, how
ever, talk some little to one of the
officials yesterday, saying: "Do you
think would get off easier il were
to go on the witness stand and testify
as a states witness?" The officer re-.
piled that he would not be dealt
with in any way but a severe one and
that whether or not he was a witness
for the state, he would receive all that
was justly due him. This goes to
show that there are other parties in
terested in the outrageous conduct
that has been going on in the way of
thieving and arson and 1t is more
than probable that, when McDonald's
cases will come up in the October
term of court, he will "let the cat out
OF the bag" and by so doing implicate
others.

There has been q great deal Of in
terprise among the Catholic socie.
ties of the city aud large number of
fine buildings have been erected by
them; also a large amount of chart
table work has been doue in most

cations. 1t has been rumored IN the
city that college would De erected
here by the Catholics aud in order TO
ascertain all facts, a reporter OF the
LIGHT made investigation yesterday
and gained the following infOrmatiOD:
The proposed college, which has
been talked of. will De Quilt, perhaps,
on the old StIibliTg land at Alamo
Heights, the tract of twenty acres
having been purchased some few
weeks ago by Brother Charles Francis,
of the st. Marv's college. The cost of
the building could not be learned, as
an estimate has not been made The
money to be used in the erection of
the structure is to be furnished by q
society IN Mexico, through one of the
DlslOps Vi bndU COuutlS. IL 10 uhUo'
cided as to the time when the build
ing will commence, but it is quite
probable that u lapse of several
months will take place before
the money can be obtained. 1t is,
however, in readiness to be sent tlom
Mexico but the rate Of exchange is
too high, AS per cent consequently
the exchange will be deferred until
later, when it will not be SO extern
sive.
The object of the college will be, to
admit advanced scholars and educate
them in the most advanced branches,
in other words, it will be school for
students preparing tor the holy
orders and none but the most compe-
1tent applicants will be permitted TO
Renter.
y This will be quite benefit to San
Antonio in many ways and the citi =
zens are proud to learn OF the enter
prise OF these devoted people.
