THE RHODE ISLAND VICTORY.

RHODE ISLAND went as she went because
she wanted to 90 that way. and that's all
there is to it-Philadelphia Inquirer.
NOBODY believes that Rhode Islands
vote will be needed by the Republicans In
November. but they Will have To accept it
Just the same.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
IL two years the Democrats have man
aged to lose the Rhode Island Legislature
and 1875 votes. If they find matter for re-
Joicing in this. let no one interfere with
their jOy.-Plttsburg Chronicle-Telegrapb.
The result demonstrates that the Demo-
cratic delusion called tariff reform" has
no charms for the masses. and that the
enemies of protected industries are grow
ing beautifully less in the manufacturing
States.-PittsbnrgD Dispatch.
THE result shows that the Republicans
can safely make their fight on the tariff
Issue. that they are satisfied with President
Harrison. and that the country has no OBJ
lection to the way in which he has admin
istered public atfairs.-LOuisville CONNER
cial.
THE Republi cans made q national fight
for honest money and protection of Ameri-
can industries and won national victory
that will inspire Republicans throughout
the land with hope and courage. Rhode
Island leads the victorious Republican host
of 1S02.-Toledo Commercial.
THIS was the first election of the year
conducted on party lines and may be set
down as the first straw upon the stream of
political events. showing which way the
current of popular opinion is tending. The
waters are SO smooth and deep that their
placidity is liable to misinterpretatIon. but
a small object IN inst as decisive as q large
One.-ChicagO Inter Ocean.
THE Democrats might just as well own
up to the fact that they went into New
England manufacturing State with Mr.
Cleveland at their head and tried to carry
it for him and for disguised free trade. and
failed. The voters had sense enough to
know that while the Democrats might
talk abont lettering their condition by
tariff reform they intended to give them q
dose of free trade and low wages if they
got into power-Chicago Tribune.

cumstances over which nobody seemed
to have any control, except to make mat
tiers worse, the management has come
into decided disfavor with the public.
Starting out with the special object of
capturing the city government by pO-
litical pull, they succeeded in antaROniz-
ing public sentiment to such an extent
that neither the present city govern
ment nor any future one would dare to
show them any favor. As there did not
seem to be any future for the company
under such management, tho best
thing the owners of the property could
do was to sell. especially when they
were able to make an advantageous sale.
1t ought to be. and we trust it will be.
the policy of the new company to put
itself in line and touch with public sem
timent and with the progressive move
mcnt of the city. The demand of the
hour is for rapid transit and better serv-
ice. This means an extension and inn
provement of the electric system. A
company that enjoys practical monop-
oily of all the streets in the city ought to
build electric lines wherever they are
needed. If the new company adopts a
square. honest, liberal and progressive
policy the people will not be disinclined
to renew its franchise, at the proper
time, on fair terms.

RHODE ISLAND should change the
date of her State elections. As they are
now held. in April, the temptation is too
great, especially in presidential years,
for both parties to make it n battle
ground, on account of its influence on
the general result. This is not conducive
to healthy politics or honest elections. as
Indiana can testify. When this was an
October State the Democrats used to re-
sort to all sorts of fraud in our State
elections in presidential years, and
sometimes flooded the State with money
to carry them. There is reason to be-
lieve they did the same thing recently
in Rhode Island. though without sue
cess. The change of our State election
from October to November worked a
distinct Improvement in Indiana poll
tics, and for the same reasons the date of
the Rhode Island election should be
changed.
