rel instead OF at the bottom of u well,
more of us would get at it.-Telegram.
viii not the Telegram speak for itself,
please!
The people who put this enormous
majority In power are already beginning
| TO ridicule it for its awkwardness and 70
blame 1t for its slow and numbering move
ment. Perhaps IL Is not yet too late to re-
| gain some of the ground IL has lost In pub
lie esteem, but some positive and forcibie
efforts must be made very speedily or the
great triumph Of November, 1890, will re-
| suit in gigantic hzzle.-Journal.
You will have to wump again, es-
teemed contemporary; wump with care,
wump in the sight OF the Rhode ISL
ander. .
| That the Republicans of Rhode Island
| realize the size ana stupidity OF the mis-
| take they came near making In the hve
o'clock bill matter IL is now made evident
| by the introduction in the House OF bill
| To open the polls at o o'clock a IN. on cleo
tion days.-Telegram.
Is it not rather made evident that the
| Republicans of Rhode Island are hon
estly and earnestly desirous to promote
whatever measure may prove best
adapted to the free and full expression
of public opinion at the polls?
The Republican party has had complete
control of the State for nearly fifty years
and il has ever and always opposed every
advance asked by the people.-Pawtucket
| Tribune.
The Republican party has made Rhode
Island what it is, one of the busiest
and most prosperous manufacturing COM
munities on this globe.
If though hast run with the footmen
! and they have wearied thee, then how
canst thou contend with horses? And
| il in the land OF peace, wherein thou
trustedst, they wearied thee, then how
wilt thou do in the swelling OF Jordan?
| Jeremiah.
Or in other words if the Democrats in
the House, where they have an over
whelming majority, cannot agree upon
| principles what will they do when they
have to meet Republican combatants in
the campaign?
We offer to the toiling remnant these
three simple and obvious lessons.

So shall your days be long in the land

Chicago Evening Post.
Sensible advice and of sort that is
needed.
Baby McKee's name has been given TO a
race horse, and it will be long odds on
some other ruthless vandal seizing upon
| il over the entry Of some roaring old screw
with which he hopes to win pot OF
money.-Telegram.
The NEWS congratulates the Telegram
on its tardy confession of its blunder
Ruth is a prettier name than Columbia.
To David B. Hill: You're in bad fix.
Why not lay the blame on Murphy, pro-
testing that yea were opposed to- II mid,
upon Februarye Or, can't you have the
report spread abroad that the date which
has been fixed is a typographical error ?
| 1t is evident, senator, that something's
got to be done.-New York Tribune
You were too smart, Dave; too smart
by half.
There is every reason for believing that
the famine in Russia is making more
rapid progress than the effort in this
country to relieve it.-New York World.
The effort is crushed under the weight
of the big Democratic majority.
eff the Democratic leaders have any
! wisdom" remarks the Journal they
will take a new and untarnished stand
ard-bearer out of the great West" Why
may they not take him out Of the Great
| East" neighbor, No stronger candidate
can be named than William +. Russell of
Massachusetts, Globe.
It seems to afford the Globe consider
able pleasure to keep up its "funniEg"
Minister Egan appears to have become
| persona gratissima at Santiago since Mr..
Blainc's friendly move. Congressman
Arnold's most inopportune resolution
| asking his recall will probably find its
last resting place in the waste basket of a
committee room.-Boston Globe.
"Inopportune" is rather feeble word
to fit the case. Arnolds resolution was
the work of a sneak, and an unratriotic
American-save the name.
Whatever will catch votes" Is the leg
] lative watchword Of the Republicans in
the General mbly.-Telegram.
WHY, of course. What for are par
| ties? And in the long run wise, prudent
| and thoughtful administration and legis-
lation, economical without parsimony,
conservative without fear and progress
| i've without rashness, will catch more
| votes than any other course. That's the
| Republican way.
The Rhode Island farmer, however, has
| never had any tariff legislation enacted
| for his benefit, and when his vote Is asked
| for he voices the same question as the
! manufacturers: "What Is there in il for
mef" To this query it would appear that
arrangements are now making for very
practical reply.-Journal.
A more patriotic way of putting it is
'What is there !n it for Americans? Z"
And really it amounts to the same
thing. And yes; we are making arrange
ments for an answer in whose framing
the confirmed Mugwump will have very
little voice.
Why should the necessaries OF life and
| the essentials of manufactures be un-
| taxed for Germans and war-taxed for
! Amercans.-New York World.
Well, confound it, are they? The
tariff isn't tax.
