The Recorder. the great paper which
was founded to defend Republicanism
in New York city only few months
before the News came to PROVIDENCE,
has performed significant and valu-
able service for political truth by pub
fishing in full the famous report Of
Commissioner Peck upon the wages of
workmen in New York since the passage
of the Mckinley law schedule d. Of
his report.) In this publication the
names of individual manufacturers are
not given. These can only be wrested
from Mr.. Peck by an order of court, for
he is bound by every consideration of
personal honor to hold in confidence the
figures that were given him in conf
dence. But the manufacturers and
others referred to are put down by
numbers. The magnitude of the task
may be imagined from the fact that the
tables fill nearly 81 columns of the
finest newspaper type. or probably not
less than s,1O0 lines of matter. The
tables are fortified by the affidavits of
Commissioner Peck and every clerk in
his Office as to their absolute authenticity,
so far as the knowledge of each goes.
The thoroughness of the work is attested
by the fact that replies Were received
from 5000 employers, representing al
most every conceivable gainful in
dustry. While the NEWS cannot print
this report entire, it feels 1t its duty to
RHODE ISLAND readers to lay before
them the results Of the inquiry so far as
these can be compressed into table
of moderate size. Below we give, classi-
fed by occupation, the number of cases
affected by an increase in wages and
the number affected by a decrease. 1t
is as follows:

Yesterday was the day when the people
| Of RHODE ISLAND assembled at their an
nual agricultural agglomeration were re-
minded OF the existence OF the highest
official within our borders. known as the
| governor. Journal.
It strikes us that the people Of the
State were yesterday reminded of the
existence Of the governor in quite diff
ferent manner than that alluded to SO
cleverly and generously by our esteemed
Westminster street contemporary.
1t is not often, indeed, that the people
Of the State are more agreeably
reminded Of the existence of the gov
ernor, and the power for good that re-
sides in him, than was the case yester-
day, when Gov. Brown issued his procla.
nation calling special session of the
General Assembly to correct the evil
brought upon the people of Newport by
the Honey regime in the city government.
While there have been numerous
illustrations of the spirit which the
Journal habitually manifests towards
the State and all its institutions we do
not recollect ever having noticed a more
perfectly characteristic one than this.
The spirit that prompted Nero to fiddle
while Rome was burning, by his own
orders, may be regarded as an exhibi-
tion of pure patriotism in comparison
with this execrable habit of the Journal
of sneering at everything that pertains
to the welfare of this State. Nero
meant to rebuild Rome more splendidly
than 1t ever existed, and he burned it
because the stubborn electors refused to
agree to his proposition to rebuild
it. The Journal seeks to cast ridi-
cule upon state institutions and the
doings of state officials simply to ex-
hibit its contempt for everything that
contributes to its existence, and to air
the contemplate mental defect that it
imagines is wit.
IL is one Of the least admirable traits
a newspaper or person can possibly
cultivate. this habit of publicly belittling
and bringing contempt upon local insti-
tutions. And when those institutions
are in all respects admirable and serving
their purpose with vigorous intelligence
the littleness of the policy of the Journal
comes into such bold relief as to be posi-
lively sickening.

A SURPRISE.

We are considerably surprised to find
among the numerous flattering and
friendly illusions to the NEWS second
birthday, the following rather tart para
graph from the Woonsocket Reporter.
The PROVIDENCE NEWS was one year old
Wednesday. In noting the event, the
NEWS said: 1.-THE anniversary is not an
occasion for boasting." Hardly. But
the NEWS Is doing very well--for an or
gan. Ia another year or two IL ought TO
be bright enough to distinguish the diff
ference, among It's exchanges. between
fake plate sheet and a legitimate news
paper.
In casting about for the explanation
of this remarkable utterance, we can
find but one theory which in any way
accounts for it, and that is that the
NEWS has occasionally quoted from the
Reporters local rival, the Cau, which is
presumably the "fake plate sheet" re.
ferred to.
If an occasional quotation from the
Reporters rival is an offense which
seems to it to call for excuse, let it know
that the News is fighting paper and
much more fond of chastising those who
are in error than of commencing those
who, like the Reporters able writers,
have seen the light. The question which
is the better newspaper must be left for
local judges to decide. The Call is q
good looking sheet. We've never read
it much, except the editorials.
Let the Reporter man possess his soul
in peace. There won't be much demand
for Democratic newspaper in Woon.
socket when all its people have been in
formed in the grand principles Of the

They have great fun campaigning In
the South. The audience mas as much
sport az the men on the platform who do
the speaking. Last Monday the redoubt-
able Tom Watson. the Georgia Peoples
party advocate, had joint debate with
Lon Livingston at Conyers, Ga, and
some of the incidents Of the affair are
thus related by the Atlanta Constitution
of the Goth.
A fellow back In the crowd kept yell
ing: sit down In front! SIT down In
Finally Col Livingston arose and
"Here, Doc Anderson, these men
haven haven. got anything to sit upon; you sit
"Sit down. II you have to cit on Lon
Livinxstonf' yelled Anderson in reply.
IF you do, you'll sit on more brains
than you ever carried; and I'll have more
whisky on me than ever carried"
The crowd yelled again.
Shortly after Colonel Livinston COM
menced. a. third party fellow near the
stand asked him several questions.
It'll take God Almighty to shove any
thing In your head"
The crowd applauded and laughed.
The fellow continued.
Colonel Livingston came at him again |:
Pm talking to brains, not to dough,
Shut upw
~ WON'T" replied the fellow.
"f you aon't, I'll throw you out OF
this crowd"
"You can't do it,"
"Come up here where l can get my
hands on you, aud I'll do it now" re
sponded Livingston, going to the front OF
the platform. The fellow subsidized, and
Livinston continued.
A fellow right in front Of the stand
yelled: Don't you cut me-" Immedi-
ately the crowd. ready for fight, attempt
ed to rush in. The man with the knife
WAS caught officers rushed In with clubs
and stopped the fsnt. but the talk and
rushed to the platform. and talked boldly
to he crowd
"Sit down there, Bill vandegrlff. II
you fellows don't stop that, I'll come out
there and settle the whole crowd"
The third party crowd yelled like de-
mons while Livingstone was pouring shot
into Watson and the third party.
Boys, you've got TO hear me-" cried
Livingston. 'It's like putting turpen-
tine on sore, but you must stand it."
The funniest incident OF the day was q
tilt between Livingston aud an old fellow
near the front Of the stand who had inter
rupted him repeatedly.

ston.
"PDl not do it," replied the old fellow.
Then I'll 60 over there and make

Come ahead" shouted the old fellow,
as he arose, spat on his hands, doubled
his fists. pulled up his sleeves and pre-
pared for battle. He shook his fists
wildly anu yelled again, Come On, come
on"
The affair was so ludicrous that the
crowd laughed and Colonel Livingston
joined in. But the old fellow was serious
and not until pulled down into his seat
wonld he give up the idea of q fisticuf
with Livingston.
