A DEAD HERO.

Every great calamity teaches the
world lessons in the possibilities of
human nobleness and self-sacrifice. The
martyrs of Johnstown who gave up
their lives that others lives might be
saved made long and glorious roll. In
the Oil City horror, which approaches
the other i'm the wildness Of the havoc
wrought, there were not lacking
courageous spirits who faced death, and
were overcome by it in the service of
their kind.
Willis Stewart is name that should
be honored. Stewart lived mile up
Oil Creek beyond the danger line. When
the alarm was given he dragged his boat
to the waters edge and pushed off to
almost certain destruction down stream.
For an hour he helped to drag people out
of houses on the creek banks and bore
them in his boat to safety. A great
wave Of naphtha at last overwhelmed
him, house cracked, and in an instant
he was engulfed in mass of mortar, oil
and flame. From below the river
stretched out hundred tongues, from
above came shower of timbers and
plaster. Stewart was killed outright.
He died at his post, the death OF martyr
dom.
In month his fate will be forgotten,
but such simple, homely bravery as his
renews humanity's faith in itself, its
present and its future.

NOT As wARRING FACTIONS.

As temporary chairman of the Mime
.Epolis convention Mr.. ]. Sloat Fassett
altered yesterday some of the wisest
and. most judicious words that could
possibly have been spoken to the excited
thousands he stood facing. An indis-
Greet syllable, an unlucky gesture from
an acknowledged leader of one of the
two camps into which the hosts are
divided might have lent irremediable
bitterness to the rivalry. But Mr..
Tassett rose to the occasion. He spoke
rs one realizing its full responsibilities.
Loyalty to party and to principles shonc
through his carefully chosen and concil-
iatary phrases.
1--WE are pledged" he said, "to exer-
else one Of the highest privileges Of
American citizenship as the trustees of
the many million voters all over the
land. 1t becomes our duty to choose
that man for a leader under whose
guidance we are most certain Republi-
can principles will be carried out in the
form Of law. We are not here as war
ring factions struggling to obtain SUI
premacy for our favorite candidates,
but as men blest Of a great party seek
ing to select from the roll of our great
men the statesman who shall be
most capable of plotting our bark.
None of our trusted leaders are weak
men. They are all strong. Gentlemen
Of the Republican party, the eyes of the
nation and the eyes of our adversaries
are hxed upon you. You will be held
accountable for your action. Do your
solemn duty. and that is all that will be
required at your hands,"
These were brave and sensible words
They needed 10 be spoken. Not only
for the guidance Of those who listened
for the eagerncss Of partisanship had
twsnfy-four hours before the assemblin,
Of the convention, taken a decided,
wholesomer and more good-naturet
tone. but especially as an emphatic and
authoritatiye declaration served on th'

newspaper gossips and retailers Of idle
tattle that, far from being in the throes
Of dissolution, the Republican party
was never SO strong, never SO united,
never so resolved as now.
There's tremendous ferment in pro-
cess, but the strong wines are not bot
tied and the effervescence win do no
damage. The vintage Of 1892 on the
contrary viii equal if it does not surpass
that Of any previous year.
These are facts and Fassett deserves
thanks for bringing them out 30 lumin-
ously.

THE Journals correspondent says the
Rhode Island delegates "seem to be hav-
ing good time, though nobody pays
them much attention" One wouldn't
have expected the Journal to know that
Rhode Island had sent any delegates,
this is such little State, and its conse-
quence is represented in the Journals
eyes by such large minus quantity.
Dear, no; nobody speaks to the Rhode
Island men except an average Of fifty
Harrisonians an hour, trying to swing
them from Blaine.

INDoLENCE AND INCAPACIrY.

The attention of the country is fixed
on Minneapolis, and in the general alb
sorption in the doings of the Republican
convention the Democratic majority in
the lower House of Congress yields in
fancied impunity to Its inherent indo-
lence and incapacity.
What words are strong enough to
characterize the action of a Legislative
body which, under gag rule and party
spur, and without pretense of considera-
ton or deliberation, shoves through
without so much as reading and with
out word of debate, bills affecting
the most vital interests of the nation.
This is how the Anti-Option bill, whose
provisions are so novel and so far-reach-
ing as to call for the most searching
scrutiny, and the most rigorous sitting,
was galloped to vote, slam-bang. This
is how bills admitting Arizona and New
Mexico were hustled through without
explanation. Both these measures con-
tain provisions affecting the public do
main, and to neither had the House
ever given one hours attention. The
Legislative, Executive and Judiciary bill
carries appropriations amounting to
$22, 900, 900, but, like the others, 1t was
rnshed through recklessly under suspen-
sion of the rules. Such an act, in the
midst of long session of Congress, is
believed to be absolutely without prece-
dent. Certainly it stamps the econom-
ical" House as more eager to shirk work
than to be wise in spending the peoples
money.
The legislation of this week has been
an open confession of Incidence and in
capacity. 1t admits Of one explanation.
The Democratic majority in the House
is apparently willing to have the coun-
try conclude that it has become so dis
gusted with itself and its doings that it
is ready to seize upon the easiest way
out of the whole job by thrusting its
whole calendar in crude, undigested
mass upon the Senate and going ,ome to
soak its 'ead with Mills.
A nice thing to tie to would be the
Democracy.

RESPECTFULLY RECOMMENDED.


The NEWS had the pleasure of pub
fishing few days ago an exclusive ac-
count from its Newport correspondent
of the proposed establishment by the
trinity of Honeys, lawyer, mayor and
representative in the General Assembly.
Of a dictatorship for life over the Isle
of Aquidneck, the same to be forever
split off and dissociated from the rest of
the State and more especially from the
Providence Plantations.
The project appeared to the NEWS as
one OF the greatest interest and import
ance. The revolt-for, though Aquid-
neck be allowed the privilege denied to
Southerners, and though no objection be
made when she raises the forgotten cry,
"All that axes is, let me Alone" SO de-
cided governmental change can hardly
be called by any other name-would af-
ford to the Honey trinity an opportunity
not otherwise easily within grasp, of
carrying out divers and several reforms
already inaugurated in the city of New
port, but under grave difficulties and
with q success that cannot be called
more than partial.
For example, the maintenance of
proper discipline of the press. The
Honey trinity, even without dictatorial
power, has done wonders in this direc-
ton, but under the regime now pro-
posed what new marvels may not be
accomplished? With the utmost defer
ence the NEWS would suggest the ad=
visibility of introducing, with proper
notifications to meet local exigencies, a
choice selection from the more stringent
of the press edicts of the Grand Turk as
recently translated and held up to ad-
miration in English newspapers; these,
say, for modest beginning.
1. Give preference to all news re-
garding the health Of the emperor and
his family (the Honey trinity
.. No novels must be published that
have not been approved by the Minister
of Education, and guardian of public
morals (the Honey trinity.) The words
ito be continued" must not be used, as
they excite too great expectations.
3. Leads and pointed lines must not
be used, as they produce offensive irri-
tations, and may be mistaken as equivo-
cations concerning His Imperial Majesty
(the Honey trinity.)
4. Carefully avoid the names of
prominent people. Should an Office
holder be accused of theft, embezzle-
ment, manslaughter or other crimes the
event must either be suppressed or rep.
resented as not proven. CThis is not
sufficiently rigid. Noinformation should
be allowed TO reach the press on any
police matters.)
8. 1t is absolutely prohibited to pub
lish petitions regarding abuses Of the
administration.
0. II is not allowed TO report attempts
Of murder against princes or riots In
foreign countries general news Of any
sort may well be included), the knowl-
edge Of such events being not profitable
to our loyal and peaceable people.
z. These new instructions shall not
be published in your paper, ~ Il might
cause dissatisfied men to pass evil criti-
cisms and renfhrlss concerning them.

that cholera has appeared again In that

no reason why it should not put in IN APP
pearance from time to time. In q severe
epidemic like the one they had last sum-
mer, it Is perfectly natural for the germs

stances are favorable"
Asked if he thought cholera would a.
pear again in this port next spring. DIR. Ed

and will undoubtedly be able to nip it in
the bud. AS far as New York city is con-
cerned, l would like to state. 1t 10 In excel
lent sanitary condition now. There is no
reason apparent why the disease should not
be handled with the greatest ease" DR..

by such safeguards as would prevent the
introduction OF the disease by Storage pas

ued, ARE as liable to contract and bring
