The Democrats of Rhode Island are
getting very cold comfort from the Prov
idence Journal which SAYS:

getting very cold comIort TON Tie fTOV-
idence Journal which says:
Until the Democratic party names the candi-
date who will be placed in opposition to Mr..
Aldrich, and until 1t declares itself by its ma
jority in Congress in favor of sound money and
an intelligent revision of the tariff, it must be
regarded with distrust. The Republican party
can assure us that no silver bill can get past the
more united on policy of reciprocity than its
opponents are upon any schemes Of freer trade,
and while it is all wrong in many respects it un-
ouestionably appeals next Wednesday more
strongly to the Intelligence of the community
than the Democratic party does. All this would
be very different if a man like Mr.. Rowland
rich, if Mr.. Cleveland were assured of renomi-
nation, If the Bland bill had been defeated in a
Democratic caucus and if the machine of the
Empire State was not in the hands of David B.

justice and wisdom, according to the
party that now controls the House of
Representatives.
Free trade admits of defense as policy,
as well as protection. But a mixture
of the two, such as the Democrats pro-
pose in regard to wool and woolen man
ufactures, is utterly indefensible. 1t is
the protection of one department of la
bor at the expense of another depart
ment equally worthy. The word robbery
is none too strong a term to describe this
combination of free trade and protection.
If the Democrats who are advocating it
sincerely believe it is just then their in
tellectual vision is sadly distorted. If
they do not believe it to be just, if
they are advocating it simply as an enter
ing wedge to split the ranks of the pro-
tectionists, then they are undertaking to
compass their object by indirection and
deceit. Assuming the last to be their
purpose their method of accomplishing it
is to cajole the manufacturers into the
belief that they can get their raw mate
rial free and at the same time retain pro-
lection upon their finished product, Of
course they know that the ultimate re-
suit of such policy would be to array
all the producers Of raw material-a
vast army-against a protective tariff,
with the effort of speedily overthrowing
it. Indeed the whole policy of free raw
materials, of which this free wool bill is
one manifestation, is subtle attack
upon protection, vastly more dangerous
than an open attack would be, because
its true character may not be UNDER
stood

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.

Democratic inconsistency was never
more clearly exhibited than by the bill,
which the ways and means committee
reported to the House and which is now
under discussion, to remove the tariff
from wool. Shouting at the tops of
their voices that protection is robbery,
the Democratic economists of the House
propose to put wool on the free list
while manufactures of wool are left
protected by tariff. The American
wool grower is to be exposed to the
competition of the world, while the wool
manufacturer is to be defended from that
competition by heavy duty. For the
wool grower and the wool manufacturer
both to be protected is robbery, but for
the wool grower to be exposed to compe-
tition and the manufacturer defended
against it is the highest kind of economic

The story is in circulation in Washing
ton that the Bland bill is not quite SO
dead as it appears, that it is being held
back simply until after the Rhode Island
election, and that after that has taken
place it will make its appearance in the
House again with the advantage of clo-
ture. While the Democrats are quite
capable of this sort of tactics, we incline
to think that the bill is as dead for this
session as it appears to be.

The Hon. David Bennett Hill is getting
anxious. His Presidential boom which
appeared so promising few weeks ago
is manifesting signs of weakness and
there is danger of its utter collapse before
the convention meets. Even among the
Tammany crowd the feeling is said to be
growing that Hills chances Of carrying
New York are declining SO steadily as to
make it hazardous to put him in nomi-
nation. The truth of the matter appears
to be that Hills smartness has DER leaped
itself, and that reaction has set in
which threatens to overwhelm him.

Accusations Against Grand NJ aster Sweeney
Troops to BE Withdrawn.
Sheriff Beck OF Buffalo yesterday sent letter
to Adjt. Gen. Porter requesting him to with
draw the troops and thanking him on behalf of
the citizenr of Erie county for the prompt and
inestimable assistance they had rendered. Or
ders we're issued at military headquarters the
effect Of which will be to promptly send home
about 800 troops on duty in Buffalo. The
sheriff has been making close computations ms
to the final cost Of the strike. He says it will
be about S114.75O, while others place the out
side figure at $3.50 900.
Last evening there came up from the direc-
ton of East Buffalo a report that at the after
noon meeting those present repudiated Mr..
Sweeney and decided to ask Mr.. Barrett, who
is next in authority to Mr.. Sweeney in the
switchmen's order. to take up their views and
try and reopen the strike which Mir. Sweeney
declared off.
There came along with these statements also
Q report that among those who are discontented
there exists doubt to Mr.. Sweeney in
tegrity in the settlement of the strike. Tho
same doubts were heard during the day, and 1t
was thought likely that Quinn. who struck Mr..
Sweeney. had first been declared by the grand
master to be a liar because of an insinuation, If
not a charge. that his (Mr. Sweeney's) hands
were not clean in this affair.
There can be no warrant. the best informed
believe, for such intimation against Mr..
Sweeney.

THE POPE AND GLADSTONE.

Leo XIII Said tn Have n Liking for the
English Premier.
A Rome dispatch says the constitution Of q
Gladstone ministry in England has caused the
relations between England and the Vatican to en-
ter upon a new phase. The conservative party
and Lord Salisbury had tried to use the influ-
ence Of the holy see by promising much. whilst
giving aim ost nothing. Lord Salisbury had a
number Of agents at Rome, who tried inces-
sanity to get on good terms with the Vatican,
but who made the mistake Of cooperating with
the agents of the triple alliance in order to act
upon the Roman curia.
At this moment the agents Of the conserva-
tive party and the representatives of the
triple alliance are trying to persuade the
Vatican that there is nothing to be done
with Gladstone; that his policy will be anti
pontifical, and that he will never forget his
grievances against the papacy. They add that
he has become n revolutionary democrat and
that to RELY on him is to throw oneself into the
radical paths.
II is not believed that tho pope allows him
self to be in the slightest influenced by the
suggestions. Leo XIII likes Mr.. Gladstone
through affinity Of character, age and aspira-
tons. Mr.. Gladstone has committed faults i'll
the pope's opinion. Two above all-the publ
cation of .'Vaticanism" and the official mission
Of Errington. But these difficulties, it in be-
heved, win not prevent the pope from coming
to an understanding with Mr.. Gladstone. Tho

A Lively English Election-Canvassing
Among Workingmen.
The election in Newcastle-on-Tyne to fill tho
vacancy in the house of commons that occurred
upon the Right Hon. John Morleys accepting
the post Of chief secretary for Ireland was held
yesterday, as stated in dispatches to The STAR.
There was intense local excitement and the con-
test was watched with. eager interest every
where in the country. Mr.. Morley, who stood
for reelection in the district. was opposed by
Mr.. Pandeli Rall in the liberal unionist inter-
est. The Parnellite executive in London de-
cided to do their utmost to secure the re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. Morley. There was a display Of
rival colors. which appeared rather to favor Mr..
Morley. Both sides were well served with We
hicles. Mr.. Morley drove to every corner Of
the constituency. Both he and Mr.. Ralli the
latter being accompanied by Mr.. Hammond,
were cordially received. As the day advanced
Mr.. Morley's friends became more confident Of
success.
The exertions Of Commoners Wilson and
Davitt, il IL believed, induced many eight-hour
men to vote for Mr.. Morley. Although as Q
result Of the holiday in the desmond district
many voters were absent the pol1 was unex-
pectedly heavy, "a, 05l votes being cast, against
24,5s6 recorded in the general election.
Throughout the day there was plenty of noise
and excitement Mr.. Morley, who passed the
Elswick works while the men were leaving, and
who was cheered enthusiastically, advised the
men to poll quickly, and said that II workmen
did their duty their opponents would receive o
lesson they would not forget After the close
Of the poll the thoroughfare before tho town
hail. TO which the ballot boxes were taken. was
blocked with people. Some horse play was in
dulged in, but nothing serious occurred. The
result Of the poll viii be declared today.

His Door Bell Acknowledging to Build
Up His Ord1r.
A Chicago dispatch last night said that
Supreme Chief Justice Somerby Of the Orae:
of the Iron Hall left Chicago Yesterday morn
ing for Baltimore, where he intends to begin
the regeneration of his organization. Mr.
Somerby has been in Chicago for two days. but
has kept himself largely unto himself. Nobody
could find him or learn anything of his where
abouts or of his intention. His lieutenant, W.
X. Delano, chief of the order in Illinois. di-
vulged at a secret meeting held last night just
what Somerby is working to accomplish. The
meeting was called BY Somerby himself, bu. he
did not remain to attend it. There were pres
ent at this meeting delegates from every lodge
of the order in Chicago. Speech after
speech made denouncing Somerby in
the severest terms. When Delano rose to make
his speech in behalf Of Somerby he was over
whelmed by Misses. He finally managed to
calm the delegates, and urged them to ask for
receiver for the Illinois lodges of the Iron Hall.
He said it was Somerby's desire that a receiver
should be appointed in every state where the
order exists. In this way il would be easier to
straighten out the affairs and give it new lease
Of life. Mr.. Somerby had gone to Baltimore
because he believed that Maryland was the best
state in which to begin his work of building up
the order anew. Delano talked for an hour
and half. and when he sat down had the dele
gates with him.
A dispatch from Philadelphia last night said
there was considerable speculation there as to
the whereabouts of Supreme Justice Somerby
Of the order of the Iron Hall. Although he was
expected to arrive there Wednesday. no one
was able to find him in Philadelphia and We'd
nesday night "a report was current that he was
in Detroit At his residence a reporter failed
to find Somerby. The front Of his residence
looked unoccupied and the bell had been re-
moved to relieve the family from the constant
ding-donging of persistent inquirers. His FAM
lily are there, however. and trip to the back
door resulted in the discovery Of Somerby's
son. When asked il the supreme justice at
home he replied: my father is not at home
and has not been Last night we received a
telegram from him stating that he would be at
home tonight. He had left Indianapolis and
stopped off on the route for the purpose of at
tending to some business" Jus; where Su-
preme Justice Somerby had stopped off his son
did not know, or, if he did, refuses to tell.
