The NEWS" TURN NOW.

STATES lie must carry New 1ork. D6viu
crat from Way Back" ia New York Sun.
A Democrat who says Hill can carry
New York doesn't need to add that he is
from "way back" 1t is in evidence.
II Is barely possible that the sound OF
the applause OF some Democratic conven-
tions for Grover Cleveland and pure poll
tics is good deal more pleasant TO high-
minded and patriotic citizens than the
sight or some of the men who do the ap-
plauding would be.--Journal.
1t must worry the Journal sometimes
to think that poor ordinary men and
women with no culchah kneel to the
same God to whom the Mugwumps, II
religiously inclined, bow their. stiff
backs. But Stephen cannot be elected
without the votes of plain Democrats,
fastidious neighbor.
When the Democratic legislature OF New
Jersey passed a law making the term OF
the mayor OF Jersey City five years. they
did such an un-Democratic thing that the
people OF that city turned in and elected a
Republican mayor. Eagle
The five years may have had some
thing to do with it. "What! five years
of the rule of gamblers, blacklegs, race
stealers and thieves" said respectable
Jersey City people against. "Not much,"
and they voted accordingly. 1t was not
altogether or only Republican victory
but victory OF decency and common
sense.
The majority of the adult male citizens
of New York make more or less daily use
of liquor in some form. In doing so they
exercise only the liberty that belongs to
the citizen, the right of individual Judg-
ment rs to the personal habits, without
which men would be under u tutelage tit
only for children. The law unjustly as
sumes to say that they-or at any rate
those of them VINO are not well-to-do-
shall not have on Sunday the beer. wine
or liquor to which they are accustomed
on the other six days of the week.
This law for New York city is wrong 1t
interferes impertinently with innocent
personal habits. 1t violates the popular
sense OF justice. 1t misrepresents the will
of the people, and by substituting the
Saturday night tickler for the growler OF
Sunday it must breed an increase OF
drunkenness.-New York World.
The plea for the legalization of Sunday
liquor selling which the Democratic or
gan of widest circulation in New York
makes, will probably reinforce the Pro.
hibitionists in their intention of sup
porting the Democrats and downing the
Republicans.
The New York Sun comedies nine
Cleveland delegates from Massachusetts,.
This is like making it unanimous.--Jour-
nal
Oh, it will be unanimous enough, dear
madam. Never fear.
One ef the NEST potent forces In the eeH--
test, the Providence NEWS, is of the opin-
ion that the independents to-day hold the
balance of power in Rhode Island and can
carry the State either for or against either
OF the two great parties. -Pascoag Herald.
The really Independent voter does
hold the balance of power in many
State, of which Rhode Island is one.
But not the mugwump, the holier-than-
thou free trade apostle. The real inde-
pendent voter is the intelligent voter.
Arrogance ON the one hand and igno-
rance upon the other are not indepen-
dent.
The charming New York girl with an
Easter bonnet has only one possible equal
That's the Brooklyn girl with an Easter
bonnet.-N. Y. Press.
Now may Providence forgive you!
With q good platform and wise leader
ship. Democracy and tariff reform are
sure to win in the impending national
contest. t.-Boston Globe.
Very pretty, with Colorado openly
threatening a free silver candidate to
run against ''any anti-silver man." and
the New York Sun daily predicting de-
feat to any crusade of tariff reform.
First write your platform and pick out
your leader, esteemed contemporary.

second election in Providence shows no
election of any Of the Democratic candi-
dates for representatives. We have yet to
learn that they are going to get up an 'in-
dignation" meeting. Newport Herald.
OF course not, for it was an honest
and above board count which didn't
find the wardens' mistakes all on one
side.
The (Congressional) Record, for in

edited by a competent newspaper man as

Here's an optimist indeed.
Tn Minneapolis there is one liquor saloon
to every 675 citizens while in New York
there is one to every III. This is not be-
cause the Minneapolitan is less fond Of his
toddy than the New Yorker, but because
the license fee in Minneapolis is 81, ,O00.-
Brooklyn Eagle.
But the Prohibitionist says high
license is a failure!
Every English paper is against the Re
publican party and in favor of the Democ-
racy. What is the reasonl--New York
Recorder
Probably because the British press
paws more attention TO the state of
British trade than half the Yankee press
to American trade.
why does God Almighty give us such
men as John p. st. John il not to lead us
upon supreme occasionss-New York
Voice.
Presumably because He moves in a
mysterious way, His wonders to per-
form," and "loveth whom he chasten-
eth" The same question might be
asked about The Allen or Billy McGlory.
