The appointments of Almon X. Good
win as postmaster Of Pawtucket and
Charles N. Brown to like post in
Woonsocket, were made known late
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Brown was compromise candi-
date, acceptable to several hot rivals
for the place. Mr.. Goodwin has been
from the first the most prominent can
didate in his city.
These selections are most excellent
ones. Mr.. Brown is keen and thor
ough business man. Mr.. Goodwin is
also a business man of experience and
integrity, and has been honored by the
mayoralty of his town, but he is known
quite as well throughout the State for
his efficient service as the Chairman OF
the State Central Committee. No man
in the State is more deserving of honor
President Harrison is always fortu
nate in the character of his appoint.

PECK,s DEFENSE.

Labor Commissioner Peck of New
York, who has been arrested at the in
stance of Democratic politicians on the
charge of having destroyed public docu-
ments, the charge being based upon the
allegation that he had burned certain
from manufacturers, has formally stated
his position in an affidavit to the court
that heard the application for an order
to compel him to show these documents
to the Quincy-Anderson committee from
the national Democratic committee.
Mr.. Peck declares that his figures
were collected before the democratic
nomination was made and that it has
been the custom of the Office to publish
an abstract of the report in advance of
its publication, at about the time that he
published his now famous abstract.
The chief contention of the defence,
however, is that the communications
made to the commissioner Of labor
statistics by the manufacturers are
confidential, and as the law does not
specify how the statistics are to be
gathered these schedules are regarded
as personal property by the COM
missioner, who pledges himself not to
divulge them.
This method is pursued by all public
agencies for gathering industrial and
social statistics, and it is extremely
absurd to hold Peck criminally liable
for having destroyed the tell-tale sched-
ules, if he did burn them, or for refus-
ing to allow them to be examined by
nosing committee of disappointed poll
ticians.
Peck's defence is perfectly good. He
would be a despicable cur If he took any
other stand. All honorable men will
sustain him, as it is altogether probable
that the New York courts will.

In the usually fair minded Ne,rs of
Newport there has appeared an editor
ial utterance so little akin TO the fair
spirit usually shown by that paper that
we cannot but think it is due to total
misapprehension of certain points.
The Ne,cs, after speaking of the
PROVIDENCE correspondent of the
Boston Herald as "pretty good
authority" judges that he repre-
sents Gov. Brown and his party in
rather unfavorable light, in averring that
Gov. Brown will pay no attention to
the Newport mayors letter. The cor
respondent also quotes Gen. Brayton as
being very outspoken on the subject
and as saying that the communication
from Mayor Honey will be buried
under the dust of the sweeper-out Of
the executive Office. Moved by these
wonderful revelations the Netrs adds
III we mistake not nothing would suit
Col. Hcney's purposes better than such
treatment at the hands of the governor,
upon the advice and under the direction
of Charles X. Brayton. People love the
appearance of fair play in the treatment
OF an opponent. and 1t is not wise To
create an impression that the accused
official is not given opportunity TO be
heard In the usual form. That Mayor
Honey and his party will be pronounced
In the wrong is not To be doubted that
his argument will be overruled and his
plea set aside is morally certain; but IL it
is done without due respect to the forms
and customs of law and government n
possible reaction will follow that will
accrue 10 the benefit OF the aggrieved
party. Gov. Brown aud the political
organization which he represents cannot
afford 10 add insult To punishment.
The News of Newport must be mis-
taken in its differences. The News of
PROVIDENCE does not pretend to be in
Gov. Browns confidence, but it is fair
to presume that he will give due con-
sideration to every official matter that
is brought before him, Mayor Honey's
letter included. Nor do we believe that
Gen. Brayton has been "outspoken" in
conversation with any correspondent. 1t
is not his habit. Certainly it would not
be like him or any other man of sense
to assume to advise or direct the legis.
lature or the governor. They are en-
tirely competent to act as they see fit.
The News is probably right in con-
sidering the Boston writer well-informed
on RHODE ISLAND matters, but the best
Of information presents sometimes
wry necked and unrecognizable appear
ance, seen through the distorting
medium of Democratic newspaper.
Personalities aside, the Herald is not in
errant in RHODE ISLAND matters, and
this particular utterance is one Of its
worst breaks"

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.

The Massachusetts, Democrats at their
convention yesterday scarcely touched
the high plane they have been hoping
they might and promising they would.
They nominated the present governor
for another term and took a smart Grim
inal lawyer for the second place on the
ticket.
The platform adopted is distinctly
weak, as all democratic platforms in the
East must be this year. on account of
the radical free-trade plank in the ma
tional platform. 1t makes a weak and
spiritless attempt to straddle the tariff
question, and a weaker attempt to show
that the Republican force-bill policy
is campaign issue. The general tone
of the platform is quite in harmony with
Cleveland's letter, which was made pub
lie on the same day. As Josiah Quincy
spent Sunday at Gray Gables 1t Is pos
sible that this similarity was not wholly
a coincidence.
The aforementioned bounding young
politician made speech at the opening
of the convention, as temporary chair
man, that must have made some of the
wary old war-dogs who listened to il
smile and smile again. He was fresh
from his trip to Albany, where he had
been worrying the impeccable Peck
about his recent statistics Of labor re-
port, and he was cock-sure that New
York will go Republican in November.
He overfowed with rainbow ass urances.
They bubbled mp from the vast depths
Of his knowledge as bountifully rs
pure spring water from every suburb
in these piping times of polluted Paw
tuxet, and they flowed from him gen.

Although the baseball club that has
figured in the Eastern League as the
PROVIDENCE is in no real detail local,
1t has been partially backed by local
capital, and has at least never been dis
owned by the citizens of this city, who
are lovers of the national game,
1t is wit h no feelings of pride or sat
isfaction that these supporters Of the
PROVIDENCE club will now contemplate
the loss of the championship pennant,
considering the circumstances that have
attended the clubs performance during
the last half of the series.
There seemed to be no sufficient reason
why the club should not stand at the
head Of the list at the close Of the
second series rs it did at the close
of the first, yet the melancholy
fact soon forced itself upon the
friends of the club that it was not
playing as we'll as the professionals had
and could, in contrast with the gen.
orally good work of the first half of the
season. There was no lack of funds,
the public interest was well sustained.
The cause of the inferior work
during the whole of the second series of
games can only be conjectured. Per-
haps it can be satisfactorily explained
by the manager, who is certainly
under obligations to the people of
PROVIDENCE sufficiently heavy to con-
stitute demand upon him for an &C.
counting.
When the question Of a league club
was forced upon the rather unwilling at
tention Of the admirers of baseball last
spring there was great reluctance mani
tested, and it was only after very hard
and persistent work by the gentleman
who became the manager of the club
that financial support could be obtained.
There was not sufficient confidence in
his ability to successfully manage a
club throughout the season, and the
outcome has fully justified those misgiv-
ings-unless the manager may be able
to explain the remarkable toboggan
slide of the club in some other and sat
isfactory manner.
Two attempts have now been made to

Against Closing the Worlds Fair on
Sundays.

To the Editors of the Nst0s;
Learning that there is an organized move
ment going on among the more consesy ative
church people, manipulated by sabbath
organization, TO induce the people OF
Chicago, or in others words the controllers OF
the Worlds Fair, to close the same on sun
day, i, the undersigned, protest against this
movement for the following reasons:
The American principle Of separation OF
chnrch and state snould be maintained;
Public morality may DO subserved by pro-
viding a substitute for the immoral places TO
which men may resort when no moral amuse-
ments are available.
AS matter OF justice also to the people OF
Chicago, who have given of their means 70
make the Fair q possibility, tens of thousands
Of whom can visit the Fair only on sunday
ona general holiday. and a. a matter OF JUS
tice also to the visitors to the fair, whose time
or means may be limited and who certainly
are entitled 70 great consideration.
For the public good as the opening or the
fair on sunday will be for the benefit not only
10 Chicago but for the whole country. The
rights Of no one are infrienged, the happiness
Of no one is disturbed. Those who wish TO at
tend can do so; those who do not. can other
wise spend the day. This is solely humani-
tartan question:; a question OF human reia-
tions ana human welfare and thereto re, the
only standard by which one can decide Is that
Of the public welfare.
1t will benefit the fair, attracting a much
larger attendance, interesting more people In
IL and increasing It's receipts.
To the objection that Sunday opening OF
the fair will destroy the day as a rest day,
l affirm that the tendency would be exactly
the opposite. The more beautiful you make
Sunday the more attractive. the more noble
aud varied ia its pleasures and instructions.
the more difficult IL will be TO change its char
acter. With choice OF sunday occupation re-
stricted to attending church or visiting a
saloon the average workingman would choose
TO keep on laboring.
Finally. opening the Worlds Fair on Sunday
will harm no one but the keepers of immoral
places. while IL will benefit the fair itself,
the people of Chicago and the visitors 10 the
fair, thereby conducting To municipal pros
perity, individual education. public morality
and the development and good OF the whole
country. Il. w. BAKER.
