DEMOCRATIC DOCTORS BILLS.

Mills has been sick and Crisp has been
sick and Springer is still ILL., The quar-
rels of the turbulent Democratic House
majority have been responsible this win
ter for heavy doctors bills. The physi-
cal difficulties of Mr.. David Beaten Hill
are Of a sort closely allied. This latter
gentleman spent Sunday in New York,
and the big city's horde of reporters
found him "pallid, wan and sickly,"
with disturbed and anxious smile
With greater regard for pub
lie opinion than he has often dis
played of late the junior Senator
caused it to be telegraphed over
the country that he had accompanied the
Senate committee on immigration on its
visit of inspection TO Ellis Island. The
"bluff once made, however, he easily
persuaded himself that the " other fel
lows" (his colleagues could manage such
unimportant matters as typhus-infected
immigrants without his troubling his
head about the affair. and remained in
the city TO talk with Sheehan and Coch-
ran and the rest of the Tammany con-
tingent about the frightful defeat at
Elmira and throughout the State in last
weeks elections.
Report has it that Tammany tried to
send David South for his health, physi-
cal and political, thinking it just as well
for the immediate future to have him
out of the way. But Hill is not sick
enough yet so that he cared to start un-
til Col. Lamont and Smith Weed should
come North and leave him a clear field.
When the Cleveland still hunt is over
there the dropping Tammany brave will
gather medicine man or two about
him and seek fresh fields and Legisla-
lures and municipalities new. He may
be near his political death bed but he'll
die singing the war song and first he'll
do some scalping.
Hill is tough is more senses than one,
but what an amount of influenza afflicts
the Democracy!

WILL Ir ENCOURAGE LITERATURE,

The printing of the old town records
of Providence is "A matter of the greatest
importance, not alone 10 the present
generation, which will be able to gain
thereby a great deal of information
which is now locked up in the City Hall,
but to the future generations which
would otherwise lose much OF this valu-
able local history by its mutilation or
the possible accidents of time and chance.
That the cost of completing one volume
has been nearly 81 900 does not indicate
that the succeeding volumes will prove
so expensive, and if such should be the
case the result is no doubt amply COM
mensurate with the cost. Records Of
the whole State must necessarily be pre-
served at any cost.
In this connection the subject Of
Rhode Island history is important.
Aside from these records, what story of
Rhode Islands picturesque history is
there? If the records alone are so val
liable, how much more value would at
tach to the mass of Rhode Island his
torical literature and fiction which
should result from a careful collection
and publication of the detailed facts.

himself interviewed as to the duty of

their pretending to speak for either of
the two great parties. /" IL the Republi-

sideration, they must be held response

Would anybody believe that this vir-
tuous exhorter voted for the Hon. Roger
Quarles Mills, a free silver man, for
Speaker.

it does so with emphasis. Ii fattens
young Mr.. Hoar with the remark; 1--WE
desire to call especial attention to him,
because, in his unconscious impudence
and his belief in his call to lecture both
parties, he is an unusually brilliant
specimen of the Mugwump.'
Shermie deserves it, but, by the way,
it's thanlless task being Mugwump;
your average Democrat has some respect
for an outspoken Republican, but he's
no use for Pharisee.

THE ISSUE Is MADE.

Yesterdays extraordinary debate i'll
the House settled one thing beyond per-
adventure: The Democratic party is the
party of free coinage and will be obliged
in future to stand like an honest tub on
its own bottom. 1t is an advantage the
immensity of which can hardly be over
estimated TO have driven the skulkers
out of the bush and compelled them to
show themselves, their uniforms, colors
and weapons.
Two hundred and two to seventy the
vote stood against postponement to
December if every Republican in the
lower branch of Congress had fallen
into the pit digged by the Mugwumps
for his feet, and had given what assist
ance he could to the specious scheme of
the Massachusetts, independents" to go
into the Presidential campaign with the
lie on their lips that the Democratic
party was for honest money but with
the knowledge in their hearts that the
free silver bill would go through
almost without Democratic opposition
next December-if the Republican
minority had allowed itself to
be so tricked and played with,
even then the free silver ma
jority would have been thirty
over all. BY no possible concession or
compromise could the Republicans have
prevented the fixing of day for final
vote on silver, and this is, from one
point of view, credit TO the Democracy.
The party has shown the courage of its
convictions. The Mugwump faction has
acted the part of a sneak, and, to the
pleasure of all frank and candid men,
has been downed.
George Freddie rose in his place on
the floor of Congress, and with magnif-
cent effrontery declared that the hand
ful who voted against free coinage rep
resented the Democratic party. And
George Freddie at that moment was al
dressing his fellow Democrats only by
grace of Republican, for his party so
emphatically repudiated him and his
that il refused to let him open his lips,
and for the minutes in which he record
ed his futile protest he was indebted TO
the courtesy-such is the irony of fate
Of the man he has called "ex-Czar'
Reed.
Neither Mr.. George Fred Williams
nor Sherman Hoar can now mount the
stump as they did in 1891, and perpe-
trate a fraud on New England. IL they
attempt it, New England will shake in
their faces the declaration Mr.. Pierce of
Tennessee flung at them yesterday :
During the last two years the Demo
Gratis in twenty-eight States have pro.
claimed themselves in favor Of free and
unlimited coinage ot silver

To The Editors Of the NeiUS
The Loan Exhibition now being organ

ters of the American Revolution is to take
place on the 10Th and Goth of April, in the
rooms of the X. l. Historical Society, on
Waterman street, Providence, kindly

desired TO secure full display of colonial
and revolutionary relics, which we be-

desired. Hundreds of people in this State
possess some article of historical interest

in forming such an exhibition.
IL is remarkable how entirely all such

Lapham's Democracy.

politics Of the Hon. Oscar Lapbam as
being Democratic. will admit that such

racy make a claim that Mr.. Lapham' $
ascendency was the fruits of their votes l
emphatically deny it. The fact Is, his
ultimate success was mainly through the
efforts of dissatisfied asprant for official
honors, who, by an adroitly worded circu-
lar, captured a big percentage OF his
army comrades, combined with wire pull
ing by the American Mechanics " and
many Republican admirers.

count upon his firm adherences to their
incongruous principles, as it is well
known that his honest dealings entities

enough To know that to censure the entire
