THE LINCOLN CASE.

In the hearing yesterday upon the
Lincoln case these facts appeared:
Mr.. Gobeille was nominated by
some hocus pocus arrangement, without
the knowledge or consent Of Mr. Spen-
Ger, who was and apparently is the
rightful candidate, having received the
honor in convention.
James f. Murphy. a notary, admitted
that he certified that Clerk Riley or
Reilly personally appeared before him
and made oath, when Riley did nothing
of the sort. But Mr.. Fitzsimmons told
him it was ''all right"
MIR. Fitzsimmons declares that the
nomination was offered TO Gobeille be-
cause Spencer declined it. Mr.. Spencer
denied the declination.
There is something more than mere
blundering in this precious muddle-de-
ceit. false swearing and trickery of the
most contemplate sort-trickery meant
to betray Democrats us we'll as deceive

is HE POOLING MICHIGAN?

Michigan claims to know what Hill is
up TO, but the chances are Michigan is
being neatly fooled. The junior Sena-
tors friends in that State think they
have had the tip given them that when
ID. Boulanger Hill says he wants dele
cation that will agree to vote rs New
York votes, he is not working the dodge
for his personal benefit but for that of
John NJ. Palmer Of Illinois.
Now it is not conspicuously probable
that Hill has given up the game at this
early stage. If he considered himself
out of the race, the Bland bill would
have passed the House Thursday.
Palmer, to be sure, has quite as much
interest, if he regards his own candidacy
seriously, for stunning vote in the
Senate, but Palmer's hand has not been
visible in the thing.
Yet the reported interviews of Hills
Michigan followers with ID. Boulanger
bear on the face of them certain color
ing of plausibility. "You can say"
says the alleged emissary" who is re-
puted TO have been on a mission to
Washington, and to have returned to
Detroit primed, "that Hill is not in it
for this campaign, except that he will
dictate the nomination" That sounds
ike David, it must be confessed, and it
means war to the knife against Cleve-
land. He has withdrawn from no SEN
timental reason, but simply because he
appreciated his weakness as a popular
candidate" Felt himself, in plain Eng
lish, too hard hit by the universal con-
demnation of his sandbagging methods
in New York State. You can be cer-
tain that, next himself, Mr.. Hill desires
to see the nomination go to Palmer.
This is likely enough. Palmer is too old
to stand in Dawes way long.
The story is pretty and well put to-
gether, but Michigan must excuse
experienced politicians if they wait
the "two weeks" within which "AIr.
Hills intentions will be made plain to
everybody" before crediting it entirely.
Mr.. Hill wouldn't like to be defeated /;
that much may be conceded. Sooner
than be beaten he'd play party boss,
dictate somebody other than Cleve-
land and wait for next time. For the
rest let us watch out few days and
especially let us observe the spending of
the Mugwumpcorruption money. Grover
will need to draw heavily on his friends
TO come out ahead of Boulanger.

But let MS not be deceived by platform
promises. The Democratic party, if
successful in State and nation. could not
cut down the hours of labor, no matter
what it promises. The best it could
DO, having enacted free trade, would be
TO graciously vouchsafe to Rhode Island
textile workers as good conditions as
they enjoy in Great Britain--the munifi-
cent pay Of Sll per week for overseers,
81 week for male spinners, $3 and 81

VERY POOR TASTE.

The News endorses with the utmost
emphasis every word the Pawtuxet Val
ley Cleaner utters when it says that it
is not in sympathy with that partisan
spirit that drags into the State canvass
the wife and children of the Democratic
candidate for governor.
The utmost that the family of any
candidate can wish is TO be let absolute
ly alone. The campaign does not con-
cern them, and it is both silly and i'm
pertinent TO drag them into it. We do
not think that Mr.. Wardwell has helped
his prospects for the governorship by
the manner Of his introduction of one of
his children into the campaign in pub
lished interview, nor that the World,
his especial organ, has helped it by pub
fishing three columns of silly twaddle
about his home life, which is not fac
tor in the campaign, and which should
not have been touched upon at all.
True is the eastern proverb that a
foolish friend is more TO be feared than
a wise foe. The World and Mr.. Ward
well have shown very poor taste in this
respect

THE NINE HOUR LAW.

MR.. HONEY's DEFENSE.

The News prompt exposure of Mr..
Samuel r.. Honey's purpose to under
pay the printers on the Newport Herald
has evidently given that gentleman the
worst scare he ever had in his life. Be
fore the paper had been in existence
three days he suddenly changed his
plans and announced that full regular
rates would be paid. This makes "a con-
cradle drain upon the Cleveland fund, of
which Mr.. Honey is the Rhode Island
disbursing agent, and to-day it is further
depleted by the insertion in the News
and other papers of an advertisement
containing signed statement by eight
or nine men that they are "now" re-
ceiving full rates.
Nevertheless, it is a fact that the
printers were engaged for the Herald at
price below the regular scale, and that
the scale was raised before the first pay
day. 1t is also fact that girls were to
be employed at less than half the regu-
lar rate, and that these have since been
dispensed with. Their names do not
appear upon the advertisement with
which Mr.. Honey has kindly favored
the NEWS.
This sudden conversion is very com
plimentary to the News, but we are
going to watch Mr.. Honey's paper

THE PHILOSOPHY OF COURAGE.

The question which Of the two sexes is
more courageous is, at best, an open one.
It would be very hasty generalization
which should assign TO bearded humanity
heroic qualities denied to those whose
faces are smooth. IL is true
that women are, as an acute OBJ
server recently put it, prone to
scream and faint when menaced by
danger. but the News would be inclined
TO attribute these phenomena TO nervous
causes inseparable from the conditions
Of modern civilization, and principally
due TO unhealthful dress and the use Of
tea and other harmful drugs. That this
view is well founded is attested by the
prowess of many noble women in his
tory. Nor need we go back to Boadicea
or to Cleopatra OF historical, or the ANA
IONS Of legendary fame. Our own
country bps It's Joan OF Arcs, though
none ever commanded the armies Of a
