The Rhode Island Republicans are quick
TO accept the challenge of the Democratic
Congress. Their platform takes emphatic
ground against free trade and free coin

mended Tor his distinguished services and
congratulated on his consent TO become n

upon national questions. A strong state
ticket has been harmoniously nominated.

THE ATFoRM-sENAroR ALDRICH.

The name of Nelson w. Aldrich is an
illustrious one in the history of great
nation. In the upper House of the Ma
tional Congress he has welded an infiu-
ence equalled by few, surpassed by none.
Accredited TO the smallest State in the
Union and one OF the least populous, he
has taken precedence by native force of
character and by that authority which a
thorough mastery of legislative problems
gives, of men who have behind them
the countless acres of Texas or Califor
MIA, or the teeIuing populace Of New
York and Illinois. If any man conver-
SAINT with public affairs, no matter what
his politics, were slSed 10 name the ten
leading men in that little conclave Of
intellectual giants in the upper house of
Congress, he would unquestionably put
Senator Aldrich's name high upon the
list.
Long study of economic problems has
made Senator Aldrich one of the first if
not the first of authorities upon tariff
matters. The Mckinley bill, by which
the Republican party is ready to stand
or fall, in state or nation, is very largely
his work, though known by another
mans name because it must originate in
the lower House. The reciprocity clause
is wholly his.
The Senate is the nations bulwark
against the overthrow of the tariff policy
and the ruin of our industries. Repub-
lican by very narrow majority, the
body needs Senator Aldrich almost as
much for his single vote as for his ripe
and matured judgment of public meas
ures.
Recognize and appreciate the dis
tinguished services of Senator Aldrich
by sending him back where those SER
vices were performed.

John wilson Calls Beneath the

A sad accident occurred to one John
Wilson, wiper in the round house last
Sunday morning. Engine No 464 had
Just arrived from the west, and Engine
Dispatcher J. G. Hall was slowly backing
her into the round house, Mr.. Wilson
throwing switches ana assisting him in
the work as usual, and while standing in
the middle of the track attempted to
step upon the break-beam at tho rear
end of tender, but the beam being slip
perg missed his footing and fell length
wise Of the track. BY miraculous effort
he managed to throw his body outside
the track the wheel catching his foot and
crushing his limb to the knee. Engineer
Hal looking out Of the cab window saw
that Wilson had failed to hold on and
applied the air and stopped the engine
lmmed lately. Mr.. Hall cut the bell
rope and procured a stick and tied the
rope around the injured member above
the knee, Mr. Wilson tightening the
rope and holding it himself The in
jured man was quickly conveyed to his
home, where DR.. Daniels and Good
ger being summoned, found it nec-
essary to amputate the limb above the
knee. The injured man bore up under
the operation we'll and has rested quite
comfortably since and feels greatly en-
couraged in getting along SO nicely.
Wilson is a man of family and has
been IN the employ Of the company for
some time and residen. OF this city for
a number Of years. He is an industrious
and hardworking fellow and has the
sympathy Of the community in his mis-
fortune.

member have hired an attendant to help
take care OF him through his sickness
and also raised 4 substantial purse for
him at their meeting on Monday even
