HONEY UNBURDENs HIMSELF.

The contested election cases in New
port have been very properly referred to
the committee on elections ana will be
decided by that committee, after fair
and impartial hearing, solely upon the
merits of the cases in question. Holding
as he does one of those contested seats.
Mr.. Honey had right to expect the
same degree of strict justice as should
be meted out to any citizen. But yes
terday those rights were virtually nulli-
fed by remarks on the floor of the House
which could not be easily misunder-
stood and for WI Nch his own party must
feel sense of shame and Indignation.
1t requires no adept in politics or logic
to comprehend the meaning Of Mr..
Honey's words when he said that the
Republican majority this year might be
a minority next year, that "there are
two significant political possibilities in
Rhode Island--a Democratic House and
possibly seventy-two in number" and
that Republican congressman chosen
in the coming election might not be
allowed to retain his seat in Congress.
We do not know at what time Mr.. Honey
was officially appointed spokesman
either for his party at Washington or
for that small portion of it in this State,
but his meaning was plain and the i'm
piled threat was quite worthy of the
man who uttered it. 1t is indeed time
to call halt TO Mr.. Honeys public
career when his political cunning and
his sense of respect for public opinion
so far deserts him that he dares to
insinuate to the people of this State that
if Democratic majority is elected to
the lower branch of the General Assem-
bly, next year, that majority will at once
proceed to contest every Republican
election and in the end unseat every
Republican in the House. Mr.. Honey
dares to threaten the Republicans of
Rhode Island that, if he has voice in
such matters, no Republican constituency
shall be represented in the General AS
sembly. He dares 10 tell the Republi-
can voters that IL IL lay in his power he
would disfranchise every one Of them
by depripias them of representation in
the State councils. He further insinu-
ates that the Democratic majority in
Congress would endorse his action by
resorting to similar treatment of Re-
publican congressman soon to he
elected.
This is what Mr.. Honeys words i'm.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

Certain Democratic papers are afford
ing themselves and their readers little
harmless amusement by ciphering
out the possibilities Of Democratic
Alliance fusion in Nebraska and Colo
rado. by turning over the State officers
and the Legislature to the Alliance in
return for the Democratic electoral ticket
the veracious correspondents are Of opin-
ion shat Republican defeat could be
made certain. This, it is gleefully re-
marked, would more than offset the
possible loss of New Jersey, which has
shown threatening signs of late of revolt
against the Democratic bosses, and of
Connecticut, i'm which State the party
is handicapped by the outcome of the
Phelan- Walsh contest and by special
edition of the New York World.
1t is very easy to figure the gain or
loss Of States on paper, but Democratic
mathematicians would find it quite as
interesting if not as pleasant to put in a
little of their fine arithmetic on the
probable vote of, say, South Carolina,
where the Alliance is much more likely
to give trouble than it Is in western Re-
publican States. The Peoples Party
has called its national convention to
meet at Omaha on July 4. Senator Pef-
fer says it will nominate Presidential
ticket and conduct an active campaign.
If it does so, it stands chance of car
rying Georgia, both the Carolinas and
Alabama. The Democracy has angered
these states by refusing TO pass free
silver bill, and would be better occupied
in pacifying them than in counting as
lively chickens its added eggs in nests
elsewhere.
There are many things against the
suggested fusion in the West. The AL
lance, to begin with, was unceremoni-
ously dumped last fall. Its vote has
gone TO pieces. Cleveland, in the next
place, looks like the Democratic candi-
date, and, as an anti-silver man, the
Alliance will not be especially inclined
TO trade with him. This is what PETER
says, and, as regards Alliance plans, the
eccentric PETER ought to know. "lf,
as now seems probable" he proclaims in
an interview. "both candidates are
against free silver, or neither of them is
in favor of unlimited coinage, then our
electors will vote for the candidate of
the Peoples party.
PETER appears to think, il his cere-
bral action can be dignifed rs thinking
that the Alliance -vete viii I've n strrignt

ties, Senator Kyle, is not averse to talk.

action" he says, ''remains TO he decided

Party complication is the unknown
