later than that of the election in Yer
mont. so that the dear public Will not be
compelled to reeale itself long with only
dull and unimportant news.-Journal
So the Journal considers the prize fight
more important event than State
election. 1t is sometimes instructive to
know the mental attitude OF the great
journalist.
The English Journalists are drawing
heavily on their imagination when they
say that this summers labor troubles III
Inc United States prove that our country
Is fast approaching it's ruin ana that
democracy itself is "a miserable ana aDJect
fRilure.-Journal.
They do, and 80 do those who go fur
ther and ascribe our alleged decadence
to the tariff. The Journal stops just
when the thing becomes interesting.
The antipathy of the PROVIDENCE NEWS
man 10 Pawtuxet water Is something re-
markable.-Newport Enterprise;
Not remarkable at all. Pawtuxet
water causes typhoidal semi-epidemic
every autumn and scattering cases be-
tween whiles. Something ought TO be
done to get supply of pure water to
drink. The Pawtuxet would do to
water lawns.
The New York World is soliciting a
fund with which to carry certain North
western States for the Democracy. 1t Is
evident, however, that the National De-
mocracy is not very enthusiastic over the
scheme. Perhaps Ii remembers the re-
suit when he World led the Democratic
hosts In RHODE ISLAND last April.-Nar-
ragansett Weekly.
Perhaps it does il it doesn't it is likely
to get its memory sharpened by repe'
tition of the experience. The World Is
disreputable as well as an unsafe guide.
Les candidats presidentiels de la demo-
cratic de 1902 sont les plus impopul aires
que nos adversaires politiques aient de-

ance.
Well, that depends. Cleveland Is
popular with the Mugwumps though
not SO much so as he used to be. He's
popular with the Henry George men for
his free trade sentiments, and he's pop
ular enough for all practical purposes
with the Southerners TO whom he en-
deared himself by his pension vetoes.
AS for Stevenson, his axe is of close kin
to the scalping knives of the Tanmany
braves, and the ex-confederates haven't
forgotten all their gratitude to the
Knights of the Golden Circle. Steve
and Cleve have friends enough, though
not all of them are of a sort to be proud
of.
We want great many more Dianas whose
cheeks glow with health than we have got. =

A practical suggestion. The NEWS has
before expressed its interest in the pres
ent uncommon liveliness Of the Diana
market, caused by the brisk demand
from the Journal.

necticut Prohibition State Committee,
st. John of Kansas in joint debate on

mer Is In Connecticut the first week in
September. We hope Mr., Mckinley will
accept, but we doubt it.-Newport Herald.
So do we. Major Mckinley has no
time to waste on small fry.
1t is said "that brass cam paign buttons

Some thirty years ago they were quite

It's an ill-omened combination, and
the old Bourbons ought to feel IT so.
1t will be interesting now to listen to
the inane barking OF the Canadians aud

1t is refreshing thing to find Dem

It might seem to casual student of
the English language that Loon Lake

which Mr.. Harrison should date his let

Would Buzzard's Bay be of more

1t Is said the reason for not declaring
the Homestead strike at an end is that as
soon as that is done the strikers will
cease to be supported by funds gathered
for their relief. Report says that the
Amalgamated Association has n large
sum in bank, declared by some to be
$3.50, 900. but that dollar has not been
drawn out as the managers have succeed
ed in getting what was needed from the
workingmen of other cities who have not
the sliGhtest interest in the affair.--New-
port News.
Report may lie. II report tells the
truth, report virtually accuses the strike
management of scoundrelism.

read the News? We give instances of
improved wages, six days in the week,
