Its with no small measure of conf
dence as to the response it will meet
that the News appeals to intelligent
and conscientious Democrats to join
with Republicans in preve nting the re-
turn of Mayor Honey to the Legisla-
ture. The State election is over. The
considerations that bound loyal party
men to sink even serious differences of
opinion, and to pull heartily and unre-
servedly for the general success, are
no longer binding. No national issues
are at stake no State issues, for
a Republican majority in both houses of
the Legislature is assured. No principle
is involved. II is a local question which
is to be settled and n question of men.
From the local standpoint and from the
standpoint Of political decency, can New
porters afford TO set the seal of popular
approval ON the INSCRIPTIONS autocrat
Honey has shown himself to be?
These are some of the counts i'm the
Indictment against him: He has i'm
paired the efficiency of every depart
ment Of the municipal government by
his indecent haste to turn out faithful
and experienced public servants of both
political parties to make room for his
WI %henchmen.
He has denied the immemorial right
and charter privilege Of the city to a
voice in taxing itself or mourning debt
by the issuance Of bonds.
He has threatened individuals and
corporations with the weight Of his dis
pleasure, using his official trust as a
means of securing personal retaliation
upon those who stood against his will.
He has gagged the press.
He has set mp a chcap-labor, personal
organ. and when compelled by the
Nrws' exposure 10 pay union wages to
the men in his employ, he has continued

III BILL.

Mr.. English of New Jersey is alluded
to in the reports of the House debate on
the Cotton Begging bib as the author of
the old ballad of ''Ben Bolt, MI.
English justified the title of his stanzas
for he bolted, and with reason.
II should have come home to the Dem
ocratic majority with unusual force
when one of their own number told
them the cold, hard, unfattering truth
about their latest pet measure. "There
is" said Nh. English, "a jute trust in
Calcutta absolutely controlling the out
put of the raw material. The moment
the duty is taken off jute the American
manufacturers will be placed at the
mercy of that jute trust. Then bagging
can be procured for six cents a yard I'M
til our manufacturers are broken up I;
but when that is accomplished the
screws will be put on, and we shall go
back to gunny at 30 cents a yard"
That was uncompromising English,
but the bill went through, two Democrats
only joining "Ben Bolts author in the
protest against it. This is free trade
wisdom, to raise prices at home in order
to keep up the profits of a syndicate in
India-

"MERCHANTs E

The aim of the Rhode Island Business
Mems association in advocating a ''mer-
chants week" is n that must commend
itself alike to those business men who
will be most directly benefited as well
as to those whose interests are
only remotely affected by
it. This is a subject in which
the whole community is interested, and
it acquires its especial value from the
fact that the idea is based upon a true
economic principle, that trade follows
where it is led. The maxim of a hun
dred years ago, that supply fol-
lows demand, is now obsolete, and
active business men of to-day
work upon the theory that
demand follows supply. We have the
in Providence /; if we can bring the
demand here by artificial induce
ments, such as merchants week, we
shall have gained not only more trade
but shall have placed u city and State
one step further on the road to the goal
Of supremacy for which their

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

In reviewing the causes which made
the Republican triumph of last week
possible the splendid work done by the
Republican League of Rhode Island
should not be lost sight Of. Where the
clubs Were most active there Republic
can gains were heaviest, while in the
towns in which organization had not
BEEN complete and active the Demo-
Gratis increased their vote.
The Republican League has every
right to point the State to Pawtucket,
Lincoln and Warwick for proof of the
invaluable help it gave the cause OF
American industries and the cause of a
sound American currency. The League
worked untiringly, intelligently and
upon the right principles. 1t set the
issues of the struggle clearly before the
people, and where political issues are
thoroughly understood there thinking
people are going to enlist under the ban
ners of Republicanism.
The League organized the young men,
and it is to young men that a progressive
party must look to uphold and carry
forward its standard. The League is in
the field for the Presidential election
and it is to the League that the State is
looking for a good share Of the bone and
the sinew, the mental vigor and the
staying power that must give Rhode
Island the place she must take next
November in the triumphant Republican
column.
The News offers, in the name of the
Republican party, its heartfelt thanks
and congratulations to the Republican
League for its noble accomplishments in
the battle past, and its sincere God
speed in the battle yet to come.

JUST how the Journal has placated
the Cleveland following is not made
public, but there is no question about its
aving done so. ~Ex-Secretary Fairchild

indeed but not reproachfully; he says:

torially that at the Presidential election

begging Mr.. Fairchild's pardon, has
said no such thing. 1t has hemmed
hawed and beat about the bush in
purposeless fashion, but if it has COM
mitted itself to any utterances which
the ex-secretary regards as to the point
It must have been in the now famous
letter Il wrote to Mr.. Cleveland, renew

to appear on the scene inopportunely
and interrupt its innocent little firta-
ton.

through the healthful process Of indi-
vidual and original thinking.
But that particular phase OF miscalled
independence known as Mugwumpism
forfeits all claim to the consideration of
practical men because it is not broad or
stable-minded enough to devote itself
effectively to the furtherance Of any pol
icy or principles. In homely phrase it is

pretends to value most, and scorching it.

but not substantial blaze.
Political results must be obtained
mainly through political parties ; this is
automatic, and when q principle is at
stake, this exaggeration of the element
of personality in politics, this picking
and choosing the man whose mustache
curls as against the man who has a cow
lick o n the wrong side savors of a fas-
tidiousness that passes the feminine and
becomes the effeminate.
The World is wrong in one particu-
lar only. III holds the journal In

overthrow. On this point it can be at

righteous conviction aids a good cause.
But support which is on the face Of it

Journal to thank for the Democratic
gain in the Legislature.

While the News can pretend to no es.
pecial sympathy for that journalistic
mountebank, the New York World, i'll
the defeat it suffered in its amusing at
tempt to annex this State to the Pulitzer
building, yet it is compelled to admit
that there is force and cogency in the
Worlds arraignment Of the course of
the Providence Journal.
We were told, it says, by the newspaper
representatives OF the Independents that
their votes were given to the Republicans
because that party had nominated better
men for Office than the Democrats had.
Granting the assertion for the sake of ar
gument, 1t Is fair to ask whether the rea-
son ought to have been sufficient to men
Of broad and clear minds.
II the Democrats had put up bad men,
dishonest or corrupt men, a case of con-
science would have been made. But moth
ing Of that kind Is asserted. 1t is only
claimed that the Republican nominees
for State Office were on the whole superior
to the Democratic candidates, and that
the Democrats had not named the man
they desired TO send TO the Senate In Mr..
Aldrich's place. He might not be so good
a man as Mr.. Aldrich, and so the indie
pendents voted TO return Mr.. Aldrich.
And yet Mr.. Aldrich's return TO the
Senate Rhode Islands voice and
vote for all the measures which these In-
dependents regard as most inimical TO the
public welfare, and most unrighteous. In
voting the Republican ticket this year
they voted for McKinleyism, for Force
bill legislation and all the rest OF il. They
have helped to continue that protectionist
control Of the Senate, which is the chief
obstacle in the way OF the reforms they
most strenuously desire.
Was IL wise or logical to do this Is IL
not possible that regard for principles
and results may be of superior moment
to any considerations Of men in a case
where the men on both sides are reputa-
blef No honest man will knowingly
vote for a thief or a rascal because his
party has nominated him; but surely
when no such alternative is presented the
j~udicious man will prefer 10 cast his vote
rather than for those whose election will

cherished political purposes, even though
be may regard the men who represent the
wrong side rs Ia some respects personally

THE BY~-ELECTIONs.

This is no time to rest upon our laurels.
The battle has been won, and what re-
mains is to drive the enemy completely
off the field. The second election for
senator and nine representatives in this
city occurs on Friday, and Republicans
must remember that their majority in
the House is uncomfortably and pre-
cariously small. No effort should be
spared to get out a full vote, and disap-
point those Democrats who reason that
because in many instances their candi-
dates secured a plurality last Wednes-
day, therefore they are going to elect a
sufficient number to stand a chance Of
h~arrassing the House if not Of impeding
legislation.
The emphatic verdict OF last week in
favor Of clean, honest, wholesome Re-
.publicanism, instead of satisfying,
should but stimulate to renewed exer-
tons. 1t is in accordance with common
sense, and is in the line Of sound poll
tics that the element which is in control
should be able to enforce its policy and
be held to full accountability. In order,
therefore, that the Republican Assembly
may be Republican indeed, let every
man who is frank enough to confess that
the Republican party is the party of
sound finance, of wise conservatism and
at the same time of we'll considered
progress, in a word the party of politi-
cal responsibility, put aside other bust
ness and be early at the polls.
