THE NEWS TURNING


tors Hill and German are credited with
contemplating-the mere adoption or
Joint resolution setting forth the Demo
cratic tariff policy--shines like q star with
good sense and good party policy.-Tele-
gram.
The Hill-Gorman or Gorman-Hill
policy is one of evasion and cowardice.
But what better than evasion could
even the most rabid Of free traders sug-
gest as policy likely to be endurable in
tariff State like this?
Two hundred thousand dollars Is con-
siderable sum to pay for war dispatches,
hut nobody would object To its expendi-
ture If the Harrison managers should re-
imburse the public treasury To that
amount from the Presidential renomina-
tion campaign fund.-Journal.
The new paragrapher is getting wild.
In the first place he isn't certain there is
denomination campaign fund. Ii there
were one why in - well why should
1.-The Harrison managers" or anybody
else pay Uncle Sans telegraph bills? 1t
is arrant nonsense and unpatriotic non-
sense at that.
The New York World is put down by
the Hill contingent as Democratic Mug
wump sheet, the same as is the sun by
the friends of Mr.. Cleveland.-Newport
News.
The World and Sun are more properly
reckoned Jibboose sheets, but all the
same the Journal will have to wump
again.
Are we going to have the million dollar
State Houses-Pawtucket Tribune.
We are!
IL will be remembered by many of our
readers that when the city of Providence
decided upon the Pawtuxet river for
water supply, that mistakes of such choice
were pointed out, but the engineers be-
hind the scheme carried everything before
them, and for their mistakes of intent and
ignorance the city of Providence now
seeks to compel the Pawtuxet Valley
people to make sacrifice OF their own
health and natural rights. -Pawtuxet
Valley Cleaner.
What is one mans meat is another
mans poison, but it had not occurred to
Providence that Pawtuxet Valley folk
would dwindle and die if asked to drink
purer water.
1t is understood that "Brigadier" Bren-
nan has promised Rhode Islands support
to Hill in his canvass for the Presidential
nomination. The Democrats of the State
should take notice and govern themselves
cordingly.-Pawtucket Times.
As it is also understood that Honey of
Newport has pledged the Rhode Island
Democracy for Cleveland, the "Briga-
der" and the Mayor will have TO settle
any little differences arising from their
respective contracts to deliver the goods

The admirers of Senator Hill seem to
think there is something appropriate in
having the New York convention on Feb.
- 1t will make Washington's birthday
also Hill political birthday, they think.
The coupling Of Hills name with that of
George Washington would be ludicrous if
it wasn't sad.-New Bedford Evening
Journal.
It begins to look as if Washington's
birthday might be Hills political death
day.
We wish to assure our Connecticut and
Massachusetts, neighbors that there is no
immediate danger of the Ladd State House
being built at present, so there is no need
of beginning action against us for tres
pass. We understand there was some un-
enormous plans that the building might
lap over into one or both of the States,-
Newport Mercury.
Our contemporary has very mercu-
rial disposition. but it is "no good" as a
prophet. The State House will be built
and it will be o beauty.
Considerable is said about the city ad-
vertising going to the lowest bidder.
Really the lowest bid would he the lowest
price per thousand copies sold to readers.
independent Citizen.
So it would be. and so it was. The
NEWS offered it.
Penuriousness is not Rhode Island
characteristic. Once recognizing the need
or desirablity of n public improvement,
the people are wont TO respond with rea-
sonable liberalty. We need new State
House at the chief capital city, rs much as
northern Rhode Islanders need a county
seat at Woonsocket, and, as suggested,
there should be 40 unreasonable delay in
such needed improvements. -Woonsocket
Reporter.
There probably will be no unreasona-
BILE delay The whole State, with unim-
portant exceptions, favor building new
state House.
II appears to be evident that ex-President
Cleveland will not be the nominee of the
Democratic party, and IL is also probable that
a man far his inferior in moral and intellect
ual qualities will be Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
Is il possible that tho Journal has fin
ally got it's eyes open? What have NOR
ality and intellectually to do with ma
tional Democratic convention? Neverthe
less, il is not wise to be too hasty in max
ing these adverse predictions. Senator
Hill may become the chosen leader and
thus disprove all gloomy representations
East Greenwich Pendulum.
But Hill is just the man the. Journal
means: and for once its mental dyspep-
sia doesn't lead it to exaggerate, for
David B. Hills moral character is some
thing which doesn't admit of exaggera-
ton.
IL is TO be hoped that Congress will not
decide to formally investigate the Chilean
affair IL would do no good and would
very likely tend rather to injure the Dem
ocrats than the administration. The
country understands the situation fairly
we'll, and the administration is already in
