want the seals all killed of till she gets


The Importance of the election to be
held in this city tomorrow cannot be
too strongly impressed upon the mind of
every Republican. OF our twelve rep
resentatives in the lower branch of the
Legislature only one is as yet assuredly
Republican. The interests of Provi-
dence are not TO be given over lightly,
for lack of a moments thought and a
half hours exertion, into the charge of n
party which has proved itself incapable
Of managing its own smallest affairs,
and which has been so recently as last
week declared unworthy of confidence
by the united voices of the people ut the
polls.
The result of Tuesdays election at
Newport makes the urgent need of vigor-
Gus and efficient effort the more APP
parent. Unless compelled to refrain by
the indignant protest of scandalized citi-
zens, the boss-led Democrats of that city
will persist in their shameless attempt
to seat men who have not the shadow Of
a right to certificates of election. AS
an emphatic rebuke to the corrupt and
revolutionary methods which now pre-
vail in the opposing party, and as a solid
guarantee that the acting power OF the
legislating majority may not be impaired
in consequence of such tactics, every
man who is sufficiently able-bodied to
stand on his feet and drop a ballot into
the slit should feel it his first duty and
appreciate it as his highest privilege to
do so. The honor of the city is at stake.
The business interests of the State may
be involved.
Republicans, we have a majority, but
ii is small, and illness or absence might
easily make it precarious.
BE early at the polls. Influence your
neighbors to vote. See that your ballot
is cast for j. g. b. Woods for Senator
and for the nine Republican candidates
for the House of Representatives. Give
us a sure and safe working force whose
efficiency cannot be impaired.

THE GODKIN LIBEL SUIT.

Newspaper readers will remember the
outrage upon editor +. l.. Godkin of the
New York Erening Post when, at the
investigation of .Tammany officials he
had criticised, he was dragged from his
bed early on Sunday morning on a war
rant issued in a criminal libel suit. No
courts were in session and Mr.. Godkin
had considerable difficulty in finding
bail and getting released. The arrest
was freely denounced as an outrage by
Democrats as well as Republicans. Mr..
Godkin was not at all likely to run away
and there was no necessity whatever for
his arrest which was purposely timed SO
as to inconvenience him as much as
possible.
1t now appears that the Tammany
officials, having accomplished their de-
sign to "get even" with the editor by
putting him in a cell had no idea what
ever Of pressing their suit, knowing full
well that the testimony which would be
offered would prove as spicy reading as
the Parkhurst grand jury presentment.
1t is not the policy Of Tammany to in
vite testimony upon its own rottenness.
1t would seem that Mr.. Godkin would
have a very good opportunity to collect
damages from his tormentor if the Tam
many courts were not as rotten as every
other department on which the tigers
claws are laid.

for the destruction which followed.
Honey had, it would seem, made things
secure enough for himself to have been
able to dispense with the final act OF the
disgraceful drama, in which as before
he played a leading part, burning with
his own hand a part of the ballots and
directing Mr.. Wescott to burn the rest
of them.
The Board of Aldermen thus becomes
the sole counting board, returning three
of its own members, and Honey will
present himself at the bar of the General
Assembly counted in by his own unre-
vised figures in his own ward. That the
Legislature will permit such outrage to
be perpetrated is not to be
imagined. For his W ultimate
success Mr.. Honey has gone too
far. BY subtler methods he might have
succeeded, but . the Legislature will
never allow its sessions to be d~isgraced
by the presence of a political highway
robber, who has assumed to carry it by
the strong hand.
Mr.. Honey and Mr.. King ought to
be unseated.

A SOLEMN MOMENT.

Congressman Beltzhoover of Pennsyl-
vania did his best for Grover Cleveland
in his opening speech at the State Con-
vention of the Keystone Democrats.
What more could the most ardent Cleve-
landomaniac desire said than that Z" the
name Of Grover Cleveland is enshrined
in the affections of all the intelligent,
virtuous and substantial citizens of the
republic" and that "they honor him for
daring to be right when it cost him the
brightest jewel in the crown of human
ambition. They love him for his heroic
character and for his unselfish patriot
ism"
Mr.. Beltzhoover also had n very kindly
word for Robert L. Pattison, not wish
ing to be inconveniently placed il Mr..
Pattison should succumb to a lightning
stroke. To Pattison he attributed
magnificent manhood, intellectual
vigor, sterling integrity, unfaltering de-
votion to duty, aud all the exalted char
acteristics OF mind ana neaft and SOUL

possesses two such great men.

SENATORIAL SECRESY,

The Journal refers to what is I'M
doubtedly an injustice, when it too flip
PANTY remarks:
A faithful and efficient public servant
has been sacrificed to the Senatorial
hypocrisy of secret sessions. but the bust
ness Of reporting what goes on behind the
closed doors will be continued at the old
stand and in the good old way.
1t is the misfortune of the Journal
that it cannot speak without a sneer, or
protest against one injustice without do
ing another. Newspapers often rail
against the secret session, but there is
neither hypocrisy nor unwisdom in the
practise, and we do sincerely hope that
it will be continued, and that the leaks
will be stopped by which accurate ac-
counts of the business done under the
seal of secrecy are now published.
The NEWS is as firm an upholder of
the rights of the press as any paper, and
as firm a believer in the value of news
paper criticism of public acts. But we
do not believe that it is best that mat
tiers involving peace and war, or the diff
ficult and delicate operations of diplo-
macy, should be made public until
watchful officials charged with the work
of government have decided that publ
cation can do no harm.
During the war newspaper men were
usually very anxious to obtain in ad-
vance the governments plans of cam
paign, when publication could only
thwart them and delay the final success.
Surely that was not public policy, nor
are those occasions rare in peaceful
negotiations when premature publica-
ton of the ''news" would be against
public policy.
Stop the leaks. Don't open the doors.

VIVA. cAnsIEp RHODE ISLAND,

wHAt CARRIED RHODE IsLAND'
The Philadelphia Pres ~pertinently re-
marks that IL Cleveland had read the
market reports and trade statistics ne
would never have allowed his free-trade
friends to persuade him to present his
favorite issue to the voters of this State.
A manufacturing State never can be
carried against protection when its man
ufactures are enjoying a prosperous sea-
son. Rhode Island is a small State, but
In 1880 it had q sixth of all the cotton
spindles in the United States, or 1,164,-
500 out of TO- 53. 400, and it holds as large
a proportion of the is, 900, 900 spindles in
the country to-day. Ten years ago 1t
had $4,000 900 invested and 21,4I4 per-
sons employed in the cotton manufac-
lures, OF whom nearly a third were
voters. All told, at least a fifth OF the
voters Of the State are to-day directly
and indirectly interested in this traffic,
and the general prosperity of the Com
monwealth is closely connected with 1T.
There could not be a worse year In
which to ask such men to abandon pro-
lection. Not ia forty years has cotton
been so cheap in this country as now. 1t
is new for middling upiands 611-l6-
cents a pound, against 0 cents a pound a
year ago; but while ''print cloths" or
the standard quotation in cotton manu-
features, were a year ago Scents n yard,
all this year they have been 3 lie to3t
cents a yard, at which latter figure they
now stand. In other words, while cot
ton-the raw material for the mills-is
lower than in the past, the manufac-
tured article is higher. Sales have been
SO steady at the higher price that while
the Providence manufacturers a year
ago were carrying 397, 900 pieces of print
cloth they have none in stock now. For
weeks they have been sold out, and it is
years since SO favorable conditions have
existed Nor is this due to a smaller
output. Down to April l the mills of
the country had taken this year, since
Sept. /, 1,s29,211 bales of cotton,
against 1,717,2A bales last year in the
same time. This is an increase of 9 per
cent. in consumption, and consumption
measures work and work measures
wages. AS a result of all this the cot
ton mills in Rhode Island have been
doing well this year. Fair wages have
been paid and there have been no labor
troubles.
1t was sheer fatuous stupidity to sup
pose that a state whose leading industry
was in This condition could be carried
against protection.
