THE JOURNAL"

After weeks of silence, during which
no doubt it has meditated prayerfully,
the Journal has concluded to advise in
dependent voters to support the Repub-
lican ticket. The reasoning process by
which it has reached this decision, as set
forth yesterday under the heading,
"Why the Democracy is Distrusted," is
comically disjointed and illogical; so
much so that, having such an extremely
circuitous road TO travel, the Journal is
to be congratulated most heartily on
having safely got there.
For the Journals advice is excellent,
and the Journals course is that of COM
mon sense and honesty, even though it
be also 10 the amusement Of the unre-
generate, that of inconsistency. Beyond
question it is better to be absurd and
right, than to be consistent and wrong.
A free trade sheet has not the shadow
of an excuse for supporting Senator Al
drich, and, if the News may be par
doned for offering "A word of comment
on the manner of the right about face of
its newly-acquired ally, the Journal
would have done better not to try to
find one.

Besides the big Republican rallies at
Infantry and Music Halls, Saturday
night, at which Gov. Mckinley Of Ohio,
Congressman Thomas Il. Reed and Ex-
Congressman Horr will speak, the meet
ing at Music Hall Friday evening is the
event OF the week. At that meeting
Senator Aldrich, Gen. Charles III. Gros-
venor of Ohio. Major a. NJ. Hancock Of
Maryland, and the Hon David Hall Rice
of Massachusetts,, will speak. That
hustling organization, the Fourth Ward
Republican Club will welcome every
body who can get into the hall.
The meeting at Gaspee Hall on Friday
evening, at which Congressman Walker
and Edward Fitzwilliams will speak,
will also be an interesting one.
None of these meetings will exceed in
interest the Young Mems Republican
Club banquet on Monday evening, but
the presence of both Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Reed at the rally Saturday evening
will draw great crowds to them, for
everybody wishes to hear these two
great men, who stand at the front as
protectionists and statesmen.

LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.

A measure of more than usual import
ance and interest TO the people of Rhode
Island will come to the front and en-
gross attention SO soon as hearings are
given upon the bill designed to protect
the building associations Of the State
from outside competition.
The value of these institutions to the
State can hardly be doubted. They pro-
mote thrift. They beautify and inn

tion OF dwellings. They better the tone

son of protection as Justify as practi-
cable.
As 10 the Bland bill the News has
contended and contends that the Demo-
cratic party is crazy financially, but this
is new ground for the Journal, which
throughout this winters fight in the
House has treated the sound money Re-
publicans TO more tongue lashings than
the free silver Democrats, and which in
the same column from which the ex-
tract is made says: "lt is altogether
probable that, after the strong opposi-
tion which has shown itself the Demo
cratic party will not put a national free
silver plank in its platform or any other
than pronounced sound money man at
the head of its ticket"
With regard to the third count, David
B. Hill is extinct as the mammoth, and
the Journal knows it. Cleveland's
hopes may not be OF the highest, but
Hill has already joined the shades of
the defeated in the political purgatory.
The Journal will be wise not TO rea-
son. BY no system of logic can it JUS
tify itself. and yet once more the NEWS
extends its sincere fluctuations. The
Journal has had the bravery to confess
TO itself that. whether he stands for no

worthily represent Rhode Island. The
ways of Mugwumpery are dark and
devious, but for once the Journal may
lay to heart the sweet assurance that, if
in its turnings and twistings it has left
its own principles behind it has at least
wriggled up on the right side.

strongest charm. One might go further
and say that this reacts upon the char
acter Of the population itself and renders
it more stable, virtuous and prosperous
but this is almost matter of course.
1t is source of regretful comment by
those who are laboring for the welfa re
of these associations--and whose work
is certainly disinterested, since no sala-
ries of consequence are paid-that while
they have to pay a slight tax to the
State to secure their charters, concerns
having headquarters in New York and
Boston, and managed for investment
profit are able TO enter the field untaxed.
1t is an inequality which should be re-
moved, nor do we think there would be
much objection from any quarter to its
removal. Rhode Island certainly can
not afford to discriminate against its
own institutions. Whether it can af-
ford 10 make determinations in their
favcr is perhaps more open to question.
Certainly it cannot afford TO do any
thing to render investment diff
cult, for Rhode Island is an
old and wealthy State, of small
area and limited capacities for remuner-
ative investment, and its citizens cannot
by any possibility employ their surplus
capital within its borders. With many
millions of dollars seeking investment
which cannot be here employed it is the
part Of wisdom TO leave investment
channels as open as fairness to local in
stitutions and the necessity Of raising a
revenue for the State will,permit.
1t is matter for regret that unprin-
cipled men have in some instances
stolen the name Of the building and
Joan associations for swindling purposes.
The bill is said to have been designed TO
shut these out. Care should, however,
be taken lest safe and conservatively
managed institutions be shut out with
them to tho States detriment.
! Against swindlers there are no sure
remedies but reason and caution, though
the State might furnish its people with
| the data for the better exercise of these
qualities by requiring the publication Of
periodical statements of the financial
standing Of, the loan associations, as ~
does in the case of life insurance COM
| panies.
