The NEWS" TURN NOW

| A writer in the Boston Post who is in
| timatelv acquainted with the affairs of
the New York Tribune--Whitelaw Reid's
| paper--writes an open letter calling at
tention to the fact that the employees
| there receive go per cent less wages than
are paid bv any OF the leading Democratic
papers in New York.-Newport Herald.
Yes, ard some other silly has said that
it costs the Tribune 81 100 a week more
to set its type now than before he made
| terms with the union. One statement
| is about as asinine as the other and as
untrue.
Betting on free trade against protec-
tion. SO far as Rhode Island is concerned,
Is worse judgment than backing a turtle
against bicycle News.
Yet there are fellows who will do it.
! The Philistines will be spoiled this year.
The political state here in Rhode Island
will soon have written upon IL the names
Of those who have seen their opponents
and gone them one better.-Journal.
This is nice, pleasant allusion to
Messrs. Capron and Bull, which their
friends will all appreciate.
The next President will be either
Democrat or Republican, and the busi-
ness of the country will go right along
| regardless OF either.-Journal.
II will, to certain extent. It will
| for short time at any rate. But if the
Democrats should have Senate, House
and President, too-something not pos
sible under two years or so-then the
smash would begin.
There is no precedent in American
history for the election Of thrice nomi-
mated and once-defeated candidate for
President, and none for the defeat of 4
administration has been successful at
every point.-New York Recorder.
There's no precedent, nor Is there any
danger that a precedent will be estab-
lished this year.
What would the compaign be without
| Democrat Peck, Democrat Frick, Demo-
| crat Pinkerton, Democrat Streator, Demo
| cratic convict labor riots, and the Demo
cratic Reading coal trust, for the Demo
F! cratic party to attribute to the Mckinley
bill minneapolis Tribune.
Give it up. No feller can find out.
The latest scare is that beer drinking
conduces TO big feet.-Boston Globe.
1t certainly conduces to big heads and
small wit.
The message Of Gov. d. Russell Brown
| convening theGeneral Assembly in special
| session has the ring OF fearless patriot
ism.-Woonsocket Reporter.
And the Newport ring don't like that
kind of ring.
enough together IL there were not 80
many men trying TO get capital without
labor.-P. V. ID. Times.
It's an attempt which sometimes sue
ceeds, but always ends disastrously
either for the fellow who tries it, or for
the fellow he tries it on.
A radical change is necessary in tho
leadership of the (Republcan) party
Woonsocket Call.
OF course it is. And the leadership
is changing all the time. Leaders die
or grow old and inactive and young
ones take their place. We have radical
changes of that sort right along.
We remember no time at which cheap
campaign talk was less influential than
1t Is in this country the present year.
Boston Herald.
Exactly. That's just the reason the
party Of the Herald is going to be so
beautifully and completely left Nov. 8.
It's cheap campaign talk has so little in
fluence on the others.
1t did not take Mr.. Dana long to make
up his mind whether he would remain ut
home and vote for Cleveland or go to
Europe and take chances with the chol-
era-New York Commercial Advertiser.
II may not have taken him long to
make up his mind, but it was made up
long ago.
Mr. MacVeayh's conversion Is another
indication that the Republican party Is
on the Wayne. e.-Boston Herald.
The Herald probably means that the
Republican party is onto Wayne.
