EyADING THE ISSUE.

Evidences of that weakness which
always attends lost cause are becom-
ing daily more frequent in the utter
ances of the assumed spokesmen and
leaders of the local Democracy. That
singular fatality so universally befall-
ing Democratic predictions leaves the
parity without any facts to point to
when the active work of the campaign
begins, and it's members are compelled
TO make constant drafts upon their inn
aginations for subjects of discussion.
The most recent and insignificant of
these attempts to pervert the public at
tention from the real issues of the Con
gressional campaign is the attack upon
the record of one of the Republican
candidates upon the agricultural school
question. The weakness of the accusa
tion lies not only in its utter falseness
but in the fact that it presupposed a de-
gree of ignorance among our farming
population that was an insult TO their
intelligence. Every farmer i'm the State
knows the record of every member of
the General Assembly upon this ques-
tion; every one of them knows that it is
no longer an open issue and that it has
long since been in the hands of the Su-
preme Court for settlement.
The voters. both urban and rural, are
willing 10 trust the justice of the court.
Meanwhile the farmer wants TO know
what his Democratic prophets can offer
him in place Of his home market. He
wants TO know how he can meet the
competition Of Canadian hay, vege-
tables and eggs IL Democratic free trade
opens TO Canada our markets by means
of the rapid freight lines reaching all
over the country. These are vital ques-
tions TO the farmer. Upon their correct
solution depends his daily bread, and his
mind is not now i'm condition 10 be
turned aside from their consideration 10
questions which are long since dead.
The Democrats viii have abundant oc.
cupation in explaining away the Difficult
ties of their own situation between now
and the 9th Of November. They need

wATTERsoN's GRAFTON.

Some days before the dedication of
the Worlds fair buildings at Chicago
last week the News criticised the choice
of Henry Watterson as the orator of the
occasion.
The speech delivered by the Kentucky
editor abundantly justified the NEWS
structures.
1t was fine and flowing and grandilo-
quent-almost eloquent. 1t was de-
lightful to listen to, no doubt, as it was
pleasant to read.
But ii was peroration simply. 1t
was not an Grafton in any proper sense.
1t was wind and froth, merely. There
was no substance to it. 1t was one pro-
longed, glittering generality.
The opportunity was one that is pre-
sented to people but once in many
generations. The grafton at Chicago
ought to have been one of those great
speeches that furnish extracts for the
reading books of a score of generations;
such summing up of the mission, ac-
complishment and destiny of this coun-
try as would not only gain credit and
notice for us abroad, but would stamp
itself upon the consciousness of the
whole people ineffacably.
1t is, of course, to be considered that
Mr.. Watterson had but very little time
to prepare for his effort, but it was not
necessary for him to accept an alterna-
tive that compelled him to spoil the
Haest striking opportunity Of the CEN
tury.
MIR Watterson is a particularly able
man in his line of thought and effort
which is unfortunately not the line of
progress which the country has marked
out for itself and along which it has
travelled to the wonderful development
the Worlds fair is planned to typify.

/, ALL Is LOST.

All is lost, but honor. The State must
be going Democratic, if the following
dispatch, printed yesterday in the New
York Sun, is accurate:
CENTRAL FALLS, n. l., Oct 24-The great
est outpouring of Democrats ever known In
this part Of the State took place here this eve-
ming. Ten thousand cheering Democrats
marchedst through the streets bearing banners
bearing the legends; "Down with the Deputy
Marshal, mo Force Bill, ""No Negro Domi-
nation" All the halls in the city could not
hold the enthusiastic crowd, which was adj
dressed by the leading Democratic speakers
of the state. Thousands of mill hands came
from the large cotton mill towns, where they
have In the past been compelled To vote the

Democrats in Lincoln who are going to
vote against Negro Domination as rep
resented by Messrs. Bull, Capron, Loril-
lard, Rocker, Wilbour and Haskell, we
may as well give up the contest and go

could not be overborne.

A STATE HOUSE ALMOST WITHOUT
COST.

Only fortnight now remains before
the election and yet the only local is
sue which is to be settled at that time
has had very little prominence. That is
sue is whether the people of RHODE ISL
AND want new state house The is
sue is not whether the people want a
state house In PROVIDENCE; il is not
whether they want the state house the
plans for which have been approved by
the commission; it is not whether they
want TO pay 81 600, 900 for a state house.
The simple question now to decide is
whether the people want new state
house of any kind. If they vote in the
affirmative the details of how much it
shall cost, where it shall he and what
its architecture shall be will be decided
by the representatives of the people in
the General Assembly.
No more fitting time to begin state
house could be conceived than the year
of the Worlds fair. The latter marks
the close of the most marvellous era in
the history of civilization. A state
house would be a monument in years to
come of more than ordinary historic
value from its relation TO that great
event. But considering the question
from financial standpoint the time is
peculiarly opportune. Strange as the
statement may seem, il is nevertheless
true that if the vote is in favor of
new state house, new building
costing approximating 81 900, 900 can be
erected without any expense to the citi-
zens of the State beyond what they are
now paying into the state treasury. In
short, new state house can be built
without the outlay of one dollar by the
taxpayers in the form of extra taxes
This fortuitous fact arises from the
condition of the states funde d debt and
Of the sinking fund provided to meet
that debt. The total debt OF the state
amounting to 81 ,2S3, 900 is due partly on
July /, 1898 and partly on July /, 1894,
The sinking fund to meet those pay
ments now amounts to nearly 81 100, 900
and that sinking fund has been created
by annual appropriation from the states
aunds of $4,000 In less than two
years the state will have paid its present
war debt. IL at that time the appropri-
alton now made to the sinking fund be
continued the amount will be amply
sufficient to pay all Indebtedness in
Cured for a new state house in very
few years, both principal and interest.
:. This is a statement of facts which any
one can plainly comprehend. The,ex-
planation lies in the fact that our pres
INT debt is about due and we are ready |
TO meet it. BY continuing the present
policy of sinking fund we can meet
any new debt which may occur without
adding in the least to the taxes which
we are now paying. A new state house
which will not add to the states ex-
penses is worthy of favorable consider
alton

1t is always obstructive and destruc-
