Whether it shall appear that Chile
1as or has not apologized, whether the
issue be peace, as seems likely, or war,
as may be possible, the blunder of the
silver-tongued Breckenridge in his at
tempt yesterday afternoon TO make it
appear that the President has been
using the Chilean incident to his own
political advantage is sufficiently glar-
ing.
There is nothing in Mr.. Harrison's at
titude toward the Chilean question
which warranted Mr.. Breckenridge in
his attack upon the public integrity of
the President Of the United States. Mr..
Harrison has called about him the Demo
cratic leaders in both houses. He has
consulted with them rs to every detail Of
the Chilean question and advised with
them as 10 the patriotic and
honorable course to pursue. That
his stand has been in all respects salts
factory TO men of both parties who arc
not partisans before they are patriots il

THE COLORED VOTE.

We print to day letter from an i'm
telligent educated colored man in
Providence deprecating the recent move
ment to establish a Democratic colored
club in this city, and from another cor
respondent in Newport, whom we as
sumo to be colored man, asking if a
colored man might not vote as he pleases
without being called an migrate.
Certainly colored man may vote as
he pleases, though if, without the strong
est provocation, he votes against the
party of Lincoln and Sumner he will be
fairly chargeable with ingratitnde.
That is, he may vote as he pleases in the
Northern States. South of Mason and
Dixon's line he cannot always be sure
that his vote will be either permitted or
counted.
Mr.. Dewning's evident opinion that
the northern Democrats will convert the
southern Democrats to a more liberal
policy, and his faith in the fair prom
ises of politicians are rather lfaiereus.
Let him strike balance between what
Democrats and Republicans have done
for his race. Let him put on the one
side the whips and gags, and on the
other the ballot; on the one side the
Kuklux khan, and on the other the
yankee scboolma'am, and let him
strike the balance.
Is lack of office the trouble? Many OF
Caucasian blood lack Office all their
lives, and survive the lack. If no
worthier motive than this can be ad-
duced for a colored Democratic move
ment-and we know of none-it is not
worthy of a moments attention by any
self-respecting and self-supporting Afro
American.

THE STATE HOUSE PLANS.

The views which we present to-day OF
the architects designs for new State
House at Providence show that the COM
mission cannot complain of the lack of
suitable competition. The best archi-
tects in the country have been invited
to take part in the competition, and the
result is a remarkably fine collection of
designs.
Those which are illustrated In this is
sue of the NEWS show classic forms and
decorations, always boldly and effec-
lively treated. They differ in their de-
tails greatly, and into the final choice
such questions as the lighting and inte-
rior adaptation to the uses to which the
building must be put will enter quite as
largely as the external appearance.
OF the plans not illustrated, Messrs.
Carver 81 Hastings show building in
the style of highly ornate mediaeval
chateau, with broad terraces in front,
and William r. Walker e. Son have de-
signed n building nearly square, with a
rich Corinthian pediment overshadow-
ing balcony with heavily rusticated
loggia underneath.
Rhode Island is reasonably certain to
have a State House of fit proportions and
commanding presence, and at reason
able cost.

CONARDLY EVASION.

The Hill, German and Brice triumvi-
rate has formulated plan for dealing
with the tariff and coinage questions by
resolution. There is only one sentiment
which is shared by all members of the
Democratic majority, and that is fear
The free silver Bland men don't want n
direct vote for fear that they may not
get big enough majority. The Shermie
Hoar sound money minority don't want
a direct vote for fear the majority may
be quite big enough 10 overwhelm the
party in New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin.
The Springer tariff reformers are
afraid to 20 ahead with their proposition
for piecemeal reductions because their
revenue-cutting plans are ont Of har-
mony with their shrieks about the
emptiness Of the treasury.
The Mills tariff reformers are afraid
the winter will he too short 10 give them
chance to vent all their rage against
the Springer people.
And 80 all these fearsome and quarrel
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-01-27

some folk are corralled by Brice and
German and asked to get together in
caucus and make friends and agree to do
nothing. The scheme is Hills Albany
speech scheme over again; to go before
the country with O set Of oolorless reso-
lutions asking for the repeal Of the
Mckinley tariff and the repeal Of the
silver act of 1s90-simply this and
nothing more not a suggestion OF posi-
tive legislation in room of them.
: The Bland people and the Shermie
Hoar people are almost afraid enough of
each other to agree to put off the fight
until after election. The Springer peo-
pie are quite fearful enough that their job
is too big for them to be willing to back
out of it; but the Mills people are chiefly
afraid that they may miss their chance
of making themselves disagreeable, and
so they will fight the proposed caucus
and the resolutions of the caucus tooth
and nail.
AS the News has before remarked, Re-
publicans find the session an interesting
one.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Tele-
gram, when it argues for the election of
United States senators by popular vote.
both misrepresents Democratic principles
and shows either ignorance or wilful
disregard of the history Of the State and
country.
The appoItionment of senators and
representatives was the rock upon which
the trainers of the constitution came
near laundering. The large States natur-
ally wanted popular representation in
proportion to numbers in both branches.
The small States as naturally wanted
equal representation in both. The pres
ent arrangement, by which representa-
tives are apportioned in proportion to
population, while the senators We're
evenly shared, was compromise against
which Rhode Island was the bitterest pro-
testant. A senator represents his State
as whole, representative the people
of his district. This is the States
rightsp--the Democratic--theory of the
constitution, and for a Democrat, and
most particularly Rhode Island Demo
crat, to desire any other arrangement is
a rare example of political inconsistency.
The Senate is popular enough. 1t
comes direct from the people through
their representatives. If the Democrats
want IA senator let them elect their legis-
lature first in the old-fashioned way.

How TO ADVERTISE.

Some years ago I was connected with
arge patent medicine house which tried
the system OF house-to-house distribution
of pamphlets advertising its preparations.
Out of curiosity to note the effect OF the
scheme, L followed three of the distributors
down n populous thoroughfarc and no.
ticed that whenever the little books were
given to people on the street. In nine cases
out of ten they were either dropped on the
sidewalk or thrown into the street. Inc
next day I went over the Same ground
early and found scores OF the pretty little
books--which cost us half q cent each
either thrown out I'm the areas or showing
themselves on the top Of fash-barrels.
The only respectable advertising Tor
which anybody has any regard Is legio'
mate newspaper advertising. and 1t is also
the best paying and most effective In the

THE end of the long Chilean control
versy seems at hand. The unofficial
outline of the reply of Chile to this
country's demands is not yet confirmed
by the official dispatches, but if the EN-
phasis of the so-called 'ultimatum' with
the knowledge of our prompt military
and naval preparations, has indeed
brought the truculent little republic toits
senses then the policy of the administra-
ton has justified itself magnificently.
We are too generous people not to for
give and forget offences properly atoned
for, but there must be apology before
there can be arbitration.

So far as our observation has gone, that
fat-witted old Tory the Providence Jour
nal, is the only American paper which
discovers "bluster" in President Harri-
sons Chilean message. That is about
the last term to apply to it. Even the
thick and thin Democratic papers com
ment approvingly upon the calmness and
Journal.
How are the mighty fallen, that the
Journal with its glorious past should in
its degenerate present expose itself to be
called "fat-witted old Tory" The re-
buke is richly deserved.

sufficiently attested by the pointed re-
buke Breckenridge received from his
own side of the House. If the eloquent
Kentuckian shall make many more such

serve the nickname which is beginning

twill be asked why the President chose
the interim between the sending OF the ultl-
matum and the reception of the submis-
sive answer TO send his warlike message
and the correspondence to Congress. Did
he know that Chile would answer as she
did, and fear that another days delay
would deprive him of grand opportunity
to fire the popular heartS-Telegram.
The Telegram hasn't the grace to be
ashamed OF itself, but it ought to come
as near shame as it is able when 1T re-
fleets that this fling at Mr.. Harrison is
based upon Submissive answer" the
report of whose sending was only q
canard. The Telegram must be referred
to its own columns for sufficient de-
fense of the administration. "As the
