A CRIME.

IL will not do to describe the killing of
Mary A. Lawson at Central Falls as an
accident" 1t was not, unless criminal
recklessness can be called by 30 mild
name.
Ought it not to be made q crime by
statute, as it is by the rule of common
sense, for anyone to willfully point a
weapon, loaded or unloaded, at another
There is no question that Lawson him
self is sufficiently punished by his grief
at the loss of his wife, but if that gun
had not gone off, if his wife were still
alive and well he would be deserving of
some punishment, as would any such
incredible ass.
When the ''unloaded" gun does 60 off
the punishment of the ass is usually
complete. Ought there not to be some
lighter penalty-say the whipping post
or chain gang--for the wretch who is so
lucky as to escape murder?

what the Agriculturists Want.

The agriculturists Of this country do
not want more farmers; they want more
people who do not raise their own food
and whom they can supply. Every new
industry increases the farmers homo
market and furnishes him what he most
wants-profitable customers. It is no
fault of the new tariff law IL the farm
ers Of the United States do not supply
every agricultural want of our entire
population. We frame that law to give
them this market and to encourage in
dustries which would increase the con-
sumers by increasing the factories and
the demand for labor therein. Governor
Mckinley.

THE CAMpAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Months ago, when the first faint rip
pies Of the campaign begun to lap the
shores of time, the Democrats loudly
and persistently declared that this was
to be a campaign of education. They
were going to educate the voters of the
country up-or down--to the accept
ance of their tariff reform" ideas,
which they did not know themselves
and which they never meant to be trap
ped into explaining.
The first real lesson was given to the
country in New York, where the Hill
and Cleveland factions plucked at each
others throats for four months before
the second lesson was given at Chicago.
AT their national convention the second
lesson was read to the people of the
country, and Henry Watterson dragoon-
ed the great body of delegates into ac-
cepting the free-trade plank he and his
friends had drawn. There was genuine
education in that.
This second lesson proved that the
Democratic tariff doctrine is wholly
conscienceless, by the ease with which
the evident conviction of the masses of
tine party was set aside and policy
Numerically opposed to it adopted.
Since the Chicago convention the edu-
cational program has been performed
with great faithfulness and signal sue
cess. The people are being rapidly
graduated from the kindergarten of
Democracy into the higher grades Of the
political school represented exclusively
by Republicans.
The Democrats have lost their intense
regard for educational politics and have
turned to the old familiar tactics that
are based upon the familiar automatic
fact that lie once set a-going can never
be overtaken by the truth. They are
flooding the country with about the
rankest imaginable economic untruths,

IL Ia but Natural.

The Democrats are able to show that
the increase Of population in this coun-
try and the admission of new states have
worked favorabiy for the Republican
party, and they proceed to howl about

tined TO become one of the leading is
sues of the not distant future.
IL is almost uncomfortable, Ia the light
of the history Of the early days of the
country, that this subject of uniformity
of such laws as affect the people equally
in all States has not attracted universal
attention long before now. But the
exaggerated devotion to state rights,
that has prevailed since long before the
adoption of the Constitution, has pre-
vented.
1t is now quite time to look this mat
ter seriously in the face, and RHODE
ISLAND ought not to lag in the rear.

The only National Debt we can never

torious Union Soldiers.

1t is with pride and satisfaction tha {
the patriotic people of this country real
ize that the spirit of this sentiment has
been held sacred by the government ever
since it was displayed, almost genera
tion ago. The substantial evidence Of
the truth of the peoples gratitude that
the government has constantly offered
the old soldiers, in the form of just and
generous pensions, has only weakly
typifed the warm and enduring love
the American people have ever felt for
the men who left all their personal in
terests and accepted the grim chances
of war to defend the principle their
ancestors struggled for generations to
establish.
The great popular interest the whole
people feel in the Grand Army is the
most reasonable and creditable Of any
national sentiment.
The pilgrims to the national capital
will be most cordially received there,

tain them. The good wishes of such of

Would it not be good idea to abolish

matters of controversy to the Judgment
of the mayors Of Newport and Paw

OF others may be, they simply rule that
such and such law is unconstit u tional

would be the effect il Mayor Carroll

viewed after the rebellion had been
crushed.
Then Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Lo-

have already been mustered out by the

helped to make so glorious. When
those war stained veterans marched
