THE CONVENTION NEWS"

There was an almost unprecedented
demand for the News last night. Deal
ers placed heavy extra orders and news
boys were rushing for fresh bundles
continually. On the streets. in the
horse cars, in the hotel corridors and
wherever people congregate everybody
was reading the NEWS. The fullness,
freshness and intelligence of its Mime
apolis reports were thoroughly appreci-
ated. AS usual it covered the general
ground more accurately and with more
brains than its competitors, and in ad-
dition it gave the only full account
published of the movements of the
Rhode Island delegation.
The News presented yesterday the
points in favor of Harrison made by
Depew and Hscock in prolonged con-
ference in the Rhode Island parlor.
1t noted the thought given by
the delegation to the possibility of
bad blood without a comprom-
Use. 1t reported President Tipkes
speech before the clubs of the Republi-
can League of Ohio. The News kept
its readers in touch with the doings and
the thinkings of their own representa-
tives at the tenth National Republican
Convention. Without regard to other
considerations and simply as question
of newspaper policy, 1T believes it better
worth whifc to do this than, hike the
Morning Uttnp, to cry down the local
interest contemptuously and continu-
ously.
On the delegation of no other State
would the Journal have permitted its
correspondent to cast the slur flung at
the Rhode Island men in the statement
yesterday that they We're las solid (for
Blaine) as their mental condition per-
mitted." The Journal has taken from
the beginning the attitude that Rhode
Island was a nonentity in the conven-
ton and has treated it in its news col
umns worse than accordingly, for it is
not necessary to insult a nonentity. But
if the Wump can stand it, Rhode Island
can, for in the News it gets inside in
formation straight from the seat of war.
For an adequate, well balanced and
complete account of what's doing, read
the NEWS.

and patriotic steps already taken by our
government to secure an International
Conference to adopt such measures rs
will insure parity OF value between

This is business sense and honesty. 1t
call for bi-metallism by agreement OF
the nations, and with clear outlook for
such agreement through the action of
the international conference already
arranged. No sound money man can re-
fuse his hearty endorsement of every syl-
liable.
The Republican party is a party of
principles and it has set before the
country the principles on which it will
win.

Lansing'sLetters.

The publication Of the letters
of MIR. willard 1. Lansing upon
the wages, cost OF living and
home conditions OF free trade
wOrkingmen will soon begin i'm
the columns Of the "News."
Mr.. Lansing will visit the most
important Industrial centres of
Great Britain and will spend
probably two months i'm the in
vestigatiOn. He is thoroughly
equipped for his work by nature,
education and by study of
economic problems. and carries
letters of introduction from SEN
ator AIdrich to our ministers
abroad and from Secretary
Blaine to our diplomatic agents
in general. He has also letters
to the largest manufacturing
firms i'm England, SO that every
facility for prosecuting his work
will be afforded to him.
The manner Of Mr.. Lansing's
selection for this task was q
result Of the intense excite
ment growing out Of the spring
election i'm Rhode Island. In a
newspaper "coupOn contest {" to
select a representative working
man for this mission, Mr.. Lans-
ing, who is an emplOye I'm lum-
ber yard, distanced all his COM
petitors, receiving nearly 54 900
coupons out of an enormous
total. This commission is such
as no American correspondent
ever carried before. 1t is an
endorsement i'm advance from
his fellow wOrkmen of the fair
ness and perfect justice Of his
letters.

Invective is not argument, and the
Homestead should take the shame to
itself for flinging about its threats so
recklessly. President Andrews and the
Brown trustees are honorable men, and
nothing is to be gained by abusing
them. The Homestead will do better to
make its protest in such form as to in
vite instead of repelling the attention OF
impartial readers. All men are fallible,
but Brown men are not bandits.

THE impending resignation OF Prof.
Hardness of Brown University, of which
the NEWS gave public information
for the first time yesterday, was learned
with sincere regret by all of the old
students and the present ones at the
university. Prof. Harlxness thirty
seven years Of work there have been one
long period Of successful teaching, and
his life has been an example of thor
oughness and earnestness to hundreds of
young men. Outside the college he was
well-known to the public as the author
of standard text books, and a genial and
companionable man.

OREGON AND RHODE ISLAND.

Number two is now added to the list
of Republican State victories OF the
year. From far away Oregon comes the
echo in no uncertain tones OF the success
which our own State was the first this
year to win for protection and honest
money. The landslide Of Democratic
victory Won two years ago by deception
and fraud has ceased. The intelligent
American citizen may be deceived for the
moment but his mature judgment will
always be found to be right. Oregon
has followed Rhode Island and elected
both Republican members of Congress
by splendid majorities; it has elected
Republican judge of the Supreme Court
and gives the Legislature into the con-
troll of the Republicans by an over
whelming majority.
1t is a great Republican victory, and
all the more significant in that its local
interests are so entirely different from
those of Rhode Island. Oregon is not a
manufacturing State in any sense of the
word. 1t can scarcely be called an ag-
ricultural State. 1t is as yet an almost
wholly undeveloped region, and its most
valuable products are what our Demo
cratic friends ignorantly speak of as
''raw materials" Its forests of lumber
are almost limitless, and the wealth of
its mines is inexhaustible. Free trade
Democracy would delude this great
State by advocating the opening to it Of
the great markets of the world
where its wood and minerals could
be sold so readily. But free trade
Democracy would forget to speak of the
cheap labor of the world. Evidently the
voters of Oregon have thought of this
last fact and they have decided that they
prefer to have their miners and wage
earners protected in order that they may
have a market at their doors for as large
a portion as possible of their agricultu-
raj products. The beautiful Democratic
picture of free wool did not delude
Rhode Island-neither did the similar
picture of free lumber, free coal and
free iron delude Oregon.
The column of Republican victories
is swelling, what State will join it next?
