Buffalo Express.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-08-25

The fate of the Buffalo strike was
sealed from its beginning. Without
going into the question of the mems
grievances, of the seriousness OF which
outsiders can know little, there seems
to be a general agreement among labor
men that 1t was ordered hastily and
without due preparation. The scenes
OF disorder and riot and the
attempts at train wrecking
which accompanied it deprived the
strikers of all benefit of public sympathy
and strengthened the hands Of the COM
panies. There was too the widely ex-
pressed suspicion that Sweeney was
using the switchmen as the instruments
of personal vengeance, or that the strike
was sensational coup to secure his re-
election to fat $1,000 grand master
ship. These things prejudiced the case,
and the strikers only hope was forlorn
one they must enlist the trainmen, the
hremen, engineers and conductors in a
general railroad war or own themselves
beaten.
The orders to which Sweeney appealed
rightly refused to pull his chestnuts out
of the fire. The firemen are conserva-
tive body. They have not had strike
on their hands in years. Chief Sargent
is said to be Of the opinion that strikes
are. almost without exception, unnec-
essary, and that labor troubles are bet
ter adjusted in other ways. The engi-
neers have peace record as bright as
that OF the firemen. Chief Ar
thur has been singularly successful
in forwarding their interests without
wasteful stoppage of work and wages,
the blockade of commerce and the in
convenience of the travelling public.
Sweeney got cold comfort from their
common sense, and the switchmen who
through his folly have lost their places
will find cold comfort in his discomf-
ture. Some of them, without doubt,
can go back to work, some cannot, all
have lost time, cash and credit, and the
best hope to be derived from the situa-
tion is the old one, often disappointed,
that "next time" the teachings of ex-
perience may bear fruit of wisdom.

The charge of jingoisrh which had
been raised against President Harrison
for his manly and determined protest
against the unjust discrimination exer-
cised by the Canadians against the
United States on merchandise carried
through the Canadian canals has fallen
completely to the ground since the
house Of representatives has unanimous
ly approved Of the presidents attitude.
There appears to be little doubt that the
Dominion officials will at once take
steps to overthrow the Objectionable dis
elimination, but If they do not do SO tho

THE PROVIDENCE NEWS.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-08-25

False in one thing, false in all things,
says the old proverb, applicable at this
date to the PROVIDENCE Journal. There
was another old Latin proverb, "easy is
the descent to" the place that is paved
with good intentions. The first lie
makes the second one easier. The first
deceit leads the way to others.
The News is too young to remember
just when the PROVIDENCE Journals
political course became crooked and
evasive and its conscience was first
scared to disregard Of untruth. Prob
ably when in 1884 it deceived its read
ers by masking its love of free trade
under pretended hatred of James q.
Blaine which, subsequent events prove,
never existed. Whenever or however
the vicious practice began it has now
become chronic. In language so plain
that we regret the necessity of its en-
ployment, lying comes easy to the
Journal.
The monster lie of the Journal this
summer, lie which is to be both spoken
and acted consistently, is that the tariff
is not an issue in the present campaign.
BY pretending dissatisfaction with the
Chicago platform from the free traders
standpoint it hopes to lull protectionist
Democrats into fancied security.
Then the Democratic Congress will pass
q free wool bill for the Journals mill
owning proprietors. 1t is beautiful
scheme, and so ingenious that no doubt
it will deceive some.
But the Journal isn't satisfied with a
lying declaration that the tariff is not
an issue. 1t even seeks to cloud Presi-
dent Harrison's record as an honest
money man by vile insinuations. 1t
does not dare directly accuse him of
trifing with this grave subject, but it
does print paragraph like this
And now the Republicans of Idaho
have also declared for free silver coinage
and Harrison and Reid. Apparently
some of his fellow-partisans are slow to
believe that the President had any strong
convictions i'm his mind when he inti-
mated many months ago that he should
feel Obliged to veto a free coinage bill.
veto il II It came from Democratic
House.
Enough of this innuendo and insinua-
ton. Why doesn't the Journal speak
boldly and plainly9 Has it any authority
for limiting at insincerity on the
Presidents part in this matter7 We
will venture to answer our own ques-
ton. The Journal has no such reason
or authority. 1t knows Mr.. Harrison to
be sound money man, but it wants to
win votes for free wool for its owners
factories by fair means or foul.

he was gone only for a short time and

Town AT his desk to wait for him. A

interestingly her eyes followed its
lines.
"Dear Jack" 1t read, "you want to
know something about my typewriter.
| want to say to you that she is a

yulsively and gasped for breath, Her
first impulse was to rush into the pri
yate office and assault the young lady
employed there.

her fault entirely. My husband is
the one to receive the greater censure.
Oh, that | have been so blind. Fool

he has undeservedly known the depth

writers, but none of them are in it
with mine. l was fortunate to secure
the one | did, and I'm really in love
with my selection"
This was altogether too much for
the wife to bear, and the opportune
arrival Of her husband was all that
prevented her from visiting the young
lady who vas in a measure response
BILE for all her misery. When her
husband entered the room her dis.
turbed and excited appearance alarm
ed him,
"Why, what's the matter; my dear?"
She pointed to the letter. For an
instant her husband was painfully
puzzled. Presently he laughed heart
lily. Then he handed her another
note, which read:
"DEAR Tom; l want to buy a type
writing machine. Do you like yours,
and had | better get that kind?
Yours, JACK"
And then the wife laughed, and
brushing a tear from her cheek said
that she knew he was a dear, good
