The General Assembly has passed the
Newport bill as amended. The citizens
of that fair city will not be deprived of
the right of franchise by Mayor Honey's
senseless and high handed proceedings.
OF whatever party they may be, the
Newporters thank the General Assem-
bly, for this interference i'm their behalf.
Some of the minority acted rather like
lawyers quibbling in criminals defense
than like legislators elected and paid to
do public work. They "took excep-
tions" for suit. They will, perhaps,
appeal to the courts TO decide finally
whether Newport's people shall or shall
not be disfranchised. This seems like
folly, but it is probably useless to pro-
test against it. Whom the Gods would
destroy they first make mad.
We think the voters of Newport will
have chance to cast their ballots this
year both in local and general election,
and we are inclined to think they will
vote as Republicans by a considerable
maiorify

Dandelions. Grasshoppers, Crickets,
Toads and Bullfrogs In Evidence.
II saw more signs to-day OF late fall
and mild winter" said an old Pawtuxet
Valley weather sharp yesterday. II have
lived great many years aud have sell
dom before seen dandelion blossoms in
this region on the LIST of October. Golden
rods all about are AZ fresh and bright as
they were three weeks ago. / never saw
the blossoms so yellow aud beautiful in
the early October before. Mountain ash
berries are two weeks later in getting
real red than they generally are, and
that Is u sure indication of an open win
ter. There has been no frost TO change
the color OF the forest leaves, chestnut
burrs still cling to the nuts, and acorns
haven't dropped fron the trees yet-go ood
signs OF "a warm winter.
Then take grasshoppers for another
sure sign OF n late fall. They are AS live
ly as there were in August. / caught
three day or two ago, and they yielded
molasses as freely rs they did In midsunl-
mer. When there Is going to be a cool
fall and n hard winter. you can't coax q
grasshopper to spit up molasses after the
1st of September. Crickets are thicker
than they were six weeks ago, aud that's
another unfailing indication of an open
winter. Tree toads have sung AT er
nightfall two weeks Ion ger than they did
In 1891. They are good weather prophets,
and they tell me that heavy overcoats
will be drug In the market next winter.
Bullfrogs croak in the ponds at night
with good deal more energy than they
generally do at this time Ia the fall, and
That means long, pleasant autumn, aud
winter without snow"

HOW THE DEMOCRATS DO TT.

The officials of the National Demo
cratic Committee, including Chairman
Harrity and the immaculate 10. Quincy,
have been caught in pretty low-down
piece of business. but one that perfectly
| illustrates Democratic methods and
throws strong light upon the honesty
of the professions of that party.
II appears that scientific gentleman
has recently returned to New York
from New Mexico, where he had been
studying mineral deposits. He believed
he had discovered tin deposit, and had
notes Of his observations collected in a
scrap-book, intending to write some
magazine articles.
His scrap-book was shown TO New
York Democratic lawyer. 1t was
enough. When New York Democrat
once lays hands upon thing Of value
he hates TO let 60.
This Democrat takes the scrap-book
that tells about the supposed tin deposit
in New Mexico to Harrity and suggests
that it be purchased and the fact that
the scientist believes he has discovered
tin suppressed, at least until after elec-
ton.
Harrity sees the point. He knows
when his crazy bone is whacked. He
sent the scrap-book peddler to 10.
Quincy. That political Uriah Heep also
saw the point, and agreed to pay GER
tain price for the book.
The scientist agreed to accept the price
offered. and told another lawyer about
it. This second lawyer persuaded him
to repudiate the trade and recover his
scrap-book, which was accomplished
after some hesitancy and attempts at
bluff by the disappointed Democrat.
This is the nice and frank and open
way in which the Democrats are con.
Quoting their campaign of education"
If there is chance to deceive and
hoodwink the people they fall over each
other in scrambling to seize it.
1t is not at all certain that this geologi-
cal grubber has discovered tin in New
Mexico, but the Democrats are not will
ing to risk anything. They have vigor-
ously lied about American tin and
American made tin plate far too long to
allow little thing like scrap-book to
interfere with them new.
Nothing could be more truly illustra-
tive of the Democratic method of cam
paigning than this little incident.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-10-08

and Catholic with equal warmth assure
him, each that the other Is anti-Christ,
and when the Protestant sects them
selves divide so sharply upon the ques-
tion of eternal punishment. Between
the priest with his vestments and the
preacher with his hymn book; between
the doubting missionary, who is not
quite sure about future probation and
dare not teach it for fear of a wrathful
Board, and the Universalist or Uni
tartan, who relegates hell to the lumber
yard of dead creeds, he may well halt in
indecision.
To encompass the world with the
bloodless victories of faith, Christians
must first conquer themselves, must get
together. They must also, in order to
secure the very best results--here we
are putting forth with proper diffidence
the Judgment of lay inexperience-real-
ize the vast difference in mental capac-
ity between the different nations to
whom missionaries are sent. The CEN
tral elements of Christianity can be
taught to all men, the simplest as the
most profound. But theological sub
tleties which Hindoo, heir of count
less generations of hair splitting
Brahmin theologians, would understand
and enjoy, might be tedious to a gentle,
kindly Jap, and absolutely incompre-
-hensible to n FIJI OF Hill Dyak. For
tunately these things are not essential.
There have been many millions Of de-
vout Christians who were poor theo-
logians, and there will be millions more.

SENATOR STEWARDS WITHDRAWAL


sEHAToR STEWARDS WITHDRAWAL
THE withdrawal of Senator Stewart
from the Republican party, on the silver
issue, is one of the best things that
could happen.
While Mr.. Stewart is an able man, his
ability has all been employed to further
the interests Of the silver mines in which
he is very largely interested. In the
Senate he has been drag to the Repub-
hcan party, and has constantly sub
jected it to the criticism, not wholly un-
deserved, that 1t gave political power
and place to mere attorneys for special
interests.
Mr.. Stewart has constantly sought TO
force free silver upon the Republican
party, against the repeatedly expressed
judgment Of the majority, and has been
the cause of almost the whole Of the
trifiing with this question that can by
any stretch of Democrats imagination
be charged against the Republicans.
The most important consideration In
connection with Mr.. Stewards declara-
ton that he will not support Harrison is
that his withdrawal from the party
purges IL Of all suspicion Of sympathy
with Mr.. Stewards free silver ideas.
That he despairs OF accomplishing his
purpose through the Republican party
simply means that the Republican party
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-10-08

THE Democrats don't know vet
whether or not they are to count Judge
Gresham among their converts. They
know that their claim that Judge Cooley
of Michigan has turned away from
his lifelong adherence to the Republican
party is wholly false.

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

Something like order was brought out
of chaos at yesterdays meeting of the
American Board of Foreign Missions at
Chicago, and liberation, as the nearest
practicable substitute for Peace, spread
her grayish white wings over the war
ring hosts. The hero of the occasion was
DR.. Richard Salter Storrs, that grand
old man of Congregationalism, who be-
fore consenting to accept reelection
as president, demanded to know whether
the board adhered to the rules laid
down at the New York and Minneapolis
meetings. 1--WE have held" said the
doctor, that 1t is not advisa-
BILE to send men into the for
eign field who believe in a proba-
tion after death. do not wish to teach
the heathen what is not taught in the
word Of God. do not believe in that
doctrine, but do desire to see a liberal
catholicity in the Board. My definite,
absolute and final position is this, that
young men who are not certain whether
there is to be future probation, who
neither affirm it nor deny it, but who
are willing to leave it to God, and who
have all the other qualifications for mis-
sionaries, should be considered suitable
for foreign missions"
Apparently the Board also held to this
opinion, for after an acrimonious wrangle
a resolution reaffirming the New York
and Minneapolis rules was passed,
| whereupon DIR. Storrs accepted the
Presidency. The vote was unanimous,
and the Board was apparently glad to
shelve the whole question.
1t is impossible that the question
should fail to be reopened in the future,
however. The liberal party in ortho-
doxy is strong in courage il not in num-
bers, and it includes many men of keen
and subtle intellect who will die fight
ing. They have youth on their side,
and to very large extent public SYM
pathy which does not always follow the
bent of the strictest theologians. More
over, the settlement indicated in the
words of DIR. Storrs is in itself as un-
satisfactory Ms halfway measures usual
ly are. DIR. Storrs does not wish TO see
that which is not in the word of God
taught to the heather his willingness
to see doubters and undecided men
transmit their doubt and indecision to
others savors not little of inconsist-
ency. This is the fate Of all comprom-
ises.
The whole question Of foreign mis-
sions is one of vexatiops, disappoint-
ments and failures. In some countries,
rs japan, proselytism makes rapid prog
ress. In some, as China and parts Of
Hindostan, II makes very little. In
others, as in the South Sea Islands,
great apparent progress is reported, but
Christianity Is too thin veneer upon
the savage to quite satisfy the most ex-
acting. Hard as the work isy- hopeless
rs In some quarters IL remains after
many years Of effort, IL Is rendered inn
measurably harder by the conflict OF sects.
The poor heathen. even II reasonably
willing TO abandon his joss, must be
sore beset by hesitancy when Protestant
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-10-08

is firmly committed to sound money,
and cannot be cajoled into the support
of anything else.
The action of Mr.. Stewart ought to
convince the country that the Republi-
can party is not tainted with his finan-
cial heresies in the slightest degree.
