The present fashionable hair-line script
is a hideous abomination that should be
banished at the earliest moment. Chill

faint and semi-visible as possible. When
the lines of their sight-destroying home

to do their work over again-a piece of
educational bigotry SO infamous that no
words In condemnation could be too
strongly placed. No self-respecting person

Thanks to its Democratic Senate, Con-

which has absolutely refused TO join
with the House in the submission of
existing difficulties to joint committee,

non-partisan tribunal or to consent to
any investigation whatever, the execu-
tive department has been compelled TO
put forth its utmost efforts to discharge
current obligations and to keep the
machinery Of government in running
order, with the wheels Of legislation per-
sistently and needlessly clogged.
By virtue OF the tireless energy OF
Gov. Bulkeley this task has been ac-
complished- Without appropriation
bills, with every possible and conceiv-
able obstruction wantonly flung across
its path, the Republican State admins
tration has demonstrated its efficiency
and its devotion to the interests of the

THE ELECTION.

Providence Republicans gave evidence
Yesterday of serene willingness to bear
extra taxation for election purposes,
which ought to be accepted as pretty
good proof of prosperity and full pocket
books. Prohibitionists and Peoples
Party voters illustrated in bright and
glittering spring colors their set deter
mination to put the city to as large ex-
pense as possible, and also the closeness
and fraternal intimacy of their alliance
with the Democracy.
The details of the scheme which up
to date has worked with remarkable
smoothness and success may he outlined
in few words. The Prohibition and
Peoples leaders are holding their vote
together and swelling it to the largest
proportions possible, not with the faint
est hope of accomplishing anything for
the causes they respectively profess to
represent, but of set purpose and under
agreement to tire out the Republican
vote and then turn over their
strength, for recompense, which GER
tainly will not take the shape of reform
atory legislation, to the Democratic
party.
1t is well-devised plan and almost
deserves success for the calmness and
tranquility with which Republicans
suffer it to be matured. The stimulus
of victory in the State election should
have been sufficient to insure shoulder to
shoulder work to complete the triumph
with one mighty effort. Instead, sue
cess has bred the inertness of confidence.
and it now looks as if the party might
need some of the discipline which is
likely to come of an insufficient Legisla-
tive majority to sting it to better ap-
probation of duty.
Wake up, Republicans.

TWO MURDERERS.

1t is with intense satisfaction that the
News notes the fact that Murderer
Almy has been sentenced to die by
Chief Justice Doe, and that Murderer
Trefethen has been found guilty in TIE
first degree by the jury which has been
trying him for the murder Of Tena
Davis. These are two especially mean
samples of the murderous tribe, and may
their tribe decrease.
Almy with cool deliberation killed
Christie Warden because she would not
marry him. There was no doubt OF in
tent or premeditation. Trefethen, with
equal premeditation, killed Tena
Davis. whom he had first ruined.
To the man who, in strong
passion, kills fellow man for real or
fancied wrong, some consideration can
be felt. The man who kills weak and
defenceless girl without shadow OF rea-
son is worse than beast.
Almy and Trefethen are pretty pair.
Hang 'em.

Democrats have no votes to spare, and
they have made themselves a record
which, matching SO perfectly as 1t does
with the stupid inefficiency and the con-
slant quarrels of their brethren III Con-
gress, should of itself, without regard to
the magnificent contrast presented by
the course of the opposition party, give
the States electoral vote to the man
whom its representatives will help to
choose at Minneapolis.

WHY 1T Is.

Yesterday the Providence News con-
tanned thirty-two columns of live adver-
tisements, or more than any other paper
in Providence, with a single exception.
This is apretty good showing for a paper
but about seven months old.
Every phenomenon has cause. The
cause of the NEWS popularity with ad-
vertisers is not far to seek. II has un-
questionably reached first place as rep
resentative Rhode Island newspaper,
and stands as easily second in point Of
circulation. In State so small and SO
homogeneous that the advertiser may
have direct dealings with all its citizens,
it is an indubitable advantage to use the
space of newspaper circulating in the
towns and villages. The News is al
ready right upon the heels of its only
real competitor for country patronage,
not only in Rhode Island, but in con-
tiguous Massachusetts and in the east
ern part of Connecticut, a region direct
ly tributary to Providence in business
way.
The free trip contest opened the eyes
even of the NEWS friends to its enor-
nous patronage in the city itself.
Only live paper with big metropoli-
tan circulation could have made of such
a contest so tremendous success. Ad-
vertisers are shrewd. They watch these

Mr.. Dean was born in Williamsburg,
Blair county. Pa, Feb. Is, 1885. After
leaving college he taught for short
time and was admitted to the bar, be-
ginning the practice Of law in Holli-
daysburg, where he has since resided.
In 1857 he was elected district attor-
ney, and in 1871 he became president
Judge of the twenty-fourth judicial dis
trict. At the end of his term in 1881 he
was reelected, as also in 1891. When
Judge Dean spoke of rSRring last year
nearly every lawyer IA the district
signed a petition asking him to serve
until 1901. Reluctantly Judge Dean
consented, but his nomination to the
supreme bench will of course break in
upon this arrangement.

1t is somewhat unfortunate for our
young Democratic contemporary, the
Newport Herald, that it should be
obliged to enter into lengthy explana-
tion of its position on the labor question
so soon after election. 1t is also unfor-
tunate for Boss Honey's sheet in the fair
city by the sea that it should fail to
state the cause of its controversy with
its printers quite fairly.
The strike in the Herald Office was
not against the employment of girls,
but was brought about in this manner.
When the News exposed the cheap
labor policy of the Herald before elec-
ton, Boss Honey feared the effect of
such truth. telling. Prices for men
were promptly raised to the union level,
but certain number of girls were re-
tained at 16 cents per thousand, less
than half union rates for day compost
ton, to set such matter as could con-
veniently, and economically. be put in
type before sundown. The Herald men
accepted this compromise. Election
over and voters being assumed to have
time to forget before November, Mr..
Honey's organ readjusted its forces. A
considerable number of the men were
dismissed and more 16-cent girls
engaged The Herald hardly veHtHred
to go the length of openly cutting rates
on men aud voters, but it did achieve
the same economy by increasing the
numbers and the relative importance in
its force of the underpaid girls.
Against this, somewhat hastily and
without proper authority, the men
struck and were, justly enough, sent
back to work by the union, pending in
vestigation. 1t is impossible to wonder
much, however, at the feeling of the
printers against a paper which so obvi-
ously deals with them on one principle
when the State is to be "carried" and
on another when it isn't.
The language of the Herald In ex-
planning its action is of peculiar inter-
est. Surely it says, no union men of
any great number could find employ
ment at any Office where competition
necessitated large portion of the type
setting to be done at the lowest possible
rates" II this is not an open declaration
against the working man, of whose in
terests the average Democratic organ
pretends TO be so extremely careful, it
would be hard to say how il is to be in
terpreted. IL is blunt statement that
any man is justified in hiring labor at
the lowest possible point to which he
can squeeze it down. II is worthy Of
free trade newspaper.
The Herald is hereby respectfully i'm
formed that there are certain subjects
which IL will not be advisable for IL TO
handle editorially in future. The repro
baton Of the "soulless corporation"
the "grasping coal baron" the hydra
headed trust" and all such topics must
be barred out emphatically. The war
on the water company must cease. Is
not the Herald itself grasping greedily

Ever since the NEWS printed the fact
that IL 900, and not 100000. was the real
number of guesses guessed in an idiotic
scheme invented by certain ill-bred

information honestly and that its cheap

vice from employees than IL deserves.
