RHODE ISLAND

The country as whole has recovered
out little from the Democratic tidal
wave Of 1890. The next House will no
almost as blackly Democratic as the
last, and even the Senate is lost for the
time. But in RHODE ISLAND we have
made great gains.
Two years ago this State elected n
Democratic governor and legislature in
the spring, and two Democratic con.
gressmen in the fall, i'm one case through
the partisan trickery Of the General AS
sembly. This fact, however. was no,
fully appreciated outside Of the State
The record stood. Even so late As one
year ago every city in the State was
Democratic.
To-day we face an altered and n more
cheerful situation. The State. as n
whole. has gone Republican by fair
majority and considerable plurality
both in the State and national election.
and by an increased majority this fall
over that OF Last spring. Two cities have
returned TO their faith; Pawtucket has
gone Republican by considerable
margin in both national and local issues.

Our morning contemporary suggests
that Newport will only be propitiated
by building three million dollar state
house there. II our friend studied its
news columns with the same acumen
that 1t uses in its self-satisfed intro
spection IL would discover that Newport
does not need to be propitiated.
1t was expected that Newport would
vote unanimously against the state loan.
Instead, however, it cast 5s3 in favor
out of total of 1884. Compare it with
the vote on the other amend
ments. The amendment To the
corporation law was "a proposition
which most vitally interested Newport.
as by its passage Newport will be re-
lieved OF that odium which has always
attached to the hasty passage of charters
at the short session. How did Newport
vote on this amendment ?-13i ayes,
2,O52 noes. Only 1873 more votes were
cast in favor of it than in favor Of the
supposedly obnoxious State House loan.
There is pressing need that certain
newspapers should know the facts Of
which they speak editorally. But there
is no need to propitiate Newport. The
element of the State is
heartily in favor of a new state house,
and the progressive element of Newport
is also in full sympathy with it.

THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM.

1t would be extremely hazardous to
attempt to predict what the Democratic
party will do when it finds itself in DOS

of the government, and perhaps of the
legislative branch as we'll

country to know approximately what to
expect in the way of tariff legislation.
II the spirit of the platform were to
be taken as guide it would at once ap-
pear that the Mckinley tariff would be
swept off the statute books and a law
adopting free trade he made TO super
sede it. But we cannot but remember
that the tariff plank of the Chicago
platform was rammed down the con-
vention's throat by the impetuous and
vehement Col. Watterson, against the
Judgment Of the cool heads there. and
that the tariff as political issue has
been minimized by the Democratic
party during the campaign.
If the performance of the first session
of the present congress is to be accepted
as an earnest of what the next congress
will attempt. it is evident that the Nc
Kinley act will stand substantially as IL
is, with amendments affecting wool.

The Democratic party is not free

all its so-called principles" The ell

may be alleged in the heat of a cam
paign, or incorporated into platforms
when votes are to be angled for. we
cannot so slander great body of Amer
cans as to seriously contend that the
rank and file of the Democracy believes
in the free-trade theory they have nomi
nally endorsed.
The forces within the Democratic
party that stand for country above par
tisanship will, we feel sure, prevent the
accomplishment of the fervid purpose
Of Henry Watterson. That the tariff
law will be amended must, however, be
considered as an assured fact. IL il is
skilfully and honestly amended the
country can bear IL.

do not hesitate to declare their hope
that the tariff will be left undisturbed.

Will the Peoples party lastg This is
perhaps the most interesting question
OF the campaign.
The new party cannot merely hold its
own. IL must either wax or wane.
With It's present strength il could only
hold the balance of power in close con-
gress. 1t could never impress upon
Legislation any of its peculiar ideas. and
thus justify its existence as "A party. 1t

tion Of the Peoples party. 1t consists
