MIR. ROOSEvELTS HYPOCRISY.

The National Civil Service Reform
club Mt meeting held in New York
last evening passed the following reso-
luton condeming the Van Allen purchase
Of the Italian missions:
"The National Civil Service Reform
League, through its executive commit
tee, expresses its earliest remonstrance
against the bestowal by the president
of high Offices of state in return for the
contribution of large campaign
funds. 1t must regard any APP
pointment made on account Of such
contribution as disregard of the
trust conferred upon the chief execu-
tive, as a violation of the professions
upon which the present administration
came into power, and as an example
which, if followed, must lead to the
destruction of all free institutions. The
League, through this committee, de.
clares its opinion that appointments
should not be given to such contributors,
and profoundly regrets that the presi-
dent has departed from this rule"
Among those present when the resolu-
ton was presented was Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, civil service commissioner,
who has been particularly active in ad-
vocating civil service reform so long as
none of his personal friends are molested.
Mr.. Roosevelt discreetly withdrew be-
fore vote was taken.
Why? Because relative Of Mr..
Roosevelt made a similar purchase Of
the secretaryship Of the American en-
bassy at London.
And this is the man who has elo-
quently dilated upon civil service reform
and whose words have been so eagerly
listened to by the holier-than-thou
element whose hypocrisy is unveiled by
this act of their great apostle.
Civil service is all right when it turns
out the other fellows and puts in our
fellows, for it is intended to throw a
safeguard around them to protect their
incumbency, but it should never be ap-
piled against one who contributes so
literally to campaign funds.
This is indeed reform with ven
geance and it is the same barefaced and
shameless trickery that ever character
ICES the professions Of the Democracy's
leaders.
Mr.. Roosevelt who has been like ada
mant when only his enemies were con-
cerned betrays mis- true feelings when
his own relatives violate the principles

THE CITY ELECTION.

What this city needs and what the
Republicans propose to give it is mayor
who has business capacity, firInness and
independence---in O word, a man who
will not be mere figure-head, but will
work and act for the best interests OF the
people.
Colonel Olney is man of proven ca
pacity. His independence is well known.
His acquaintance with municipal affairs
and needs OF the city is larger perhaps
than a majority Of those who have
served IN the city government. More
over he has the confidence of the people
without regard to their political afhli-
ations.
That he will be elected seems certain.
The only thing that can prevent such a
result will be the failure of the Repub-
licans TO go to the polls; but of that
there appears to be little danger. The
party is thoroughly aroused and deter
minsd to give Prov idence Republican
mayor and Republican city council.

1T WILL BE BETTER THAN EVER

In order to correct any misapprehen-
sion on the part of the public it is deemed
advisable by the management Of The
News to state that the paper viii be
continued in the future, backed
by ample capital provided by gentlemen
well known to the people of Rhode Island
as abundantly able to carry out to a
successful conclusion any undertaking
in which they may embark.
The aim Of the management will be to
provide newspaper, one that shall pre-
sent to its patrons all the important
news OF the day, both local aud tele-
graphic. 1t will be in the future, as. in
the past, clean, wholesome, and
readable. Many improvements will
be made in the near future, which
viii make it more than ever
welcome to the homes in this city and
throughout the state.
With increased facilities for obtaining
and publishing promptly and reliably
all the news of the day it will be the
endeavor Of the management TO make
The News a model and modern news
paper in every respect.

WILL. BE ENDORSED.

The resolutions adopted yesterday by
the Republican state, city and town COM
mittees viii receive the hearty endorse.
ment Of every memberof the party and
of every citizen capable of forming an
unbiased and unprejudiced judgement.
1t is held that fne specious economic
theories of the Democrats are response
bic for the present unfortunate condition
OF the wage workers of the country. OF
this there is not nor can there be the
slightest doubt. The presidential can.
vass Of 1892, so far as the Democrats were
concerned, was ene-of false theories ms to
tariff and gross misrepresentation re-
garding protection.
The taxed dinner-pail figured as
campaign issue, and unfortunately in
fuenced the votes Of well-intentioned
but misguided voters. Today they
still have their pals, but in many cases
nothing to put in them. Here in Rhode
Island we have had significant and
costly experience with Democratic
rule. As the resolutions truly state
peace, happiness and prosperity have
giveh place to disaster, ruin
and distress. A year ago the mill oper-
atives at Olneyville. for instance, were
among the most contented and prosper
ous in the country. That was under
protection. under the much abused and
maligned protective tariff. Today many
Of them are idle, and those fortunate
enough to. have work are receiving
wages much lower than before. This
regrettable condition Is due entirely to
the fear that the Democratic party,
which now controls the legislative and
executive departments OF the govern
ment, will carry out its threat to destroy
the protective tariff.
The words Of praise given Governor
Brown for his action in adjourning the
general assembly at Newport last May,
and thus preventing the Democratic ma
jority in the house Of representatives
from carrying out its outrageous scheme
TO steal the state government, are merit
ed and will be endorsed by every law
abiding citizen
II has been the claim of the Demo-
Gratis that the Republicans of the state
are not in favor of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment providing for plu-
rality elections. This of course is as
untrue as its claim to the honor of
having extended the suffrage to foreign
born citizens and of passing the ten-hour
law. On the matter of plurality cleo
tions the res buttons are clear, decisive
aud emphatic. IL is declared that the
adoption OF such IAN amendment is
necessary TO the material interests of the
state, and every Republican voter is
urged to go TO the polls and cast his
ballot in favor of its adoption. Hereafter
Democratic Misrepresentation regarding
this important matter viii deceive no
one.

mans do" she will bo careful never to
take an escorts arm in n Catholic
church. Indeed, tho guides instruct
those who stroll innocently arm in arm
about ST. Peters looking at the pictures

cathedral that they are committing al

Love For the Zigzag.

The straight line is an abomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it in their streets and buildings
and have banished IL completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute a curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
1t into zigzag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject TO the influence of
the foreigner, the houses and temples
are characterized by curved, often
peaked. roofs, ornamented with fantas-
tic notifications of the myriad stroke
pattern" The inhabitants of such re-
gions arc soon found TO have n mental
world to correspond. The straight line
is secuted. They think in curves and
zigzags. To tho Chinese mind the
straight line is suggestive of death and
demons. IL belongs not to the heaven
above nor 20 the earth beneath. In a
true horizon line are seen the "undula-
tions Of the dragon. Therefore, argue
the Chinese, the straight line pertains
to hades. Contemporary Review.

THE INSIDE OF 1T.

The removal Of Admiral Skerrett
from his post of duty and his replace
ment by Admiral Irwin, whose brother,
as the representative Of Queen Liliuo-
kalani, is deeply interested in the
restoration of >he monarchy in Hawaii
is not surprise when the presidents
recent acts are remembered. Irwin's
brother for years has been engaged in
shipping coolies from the Orient to
Hawaii when they become virtually the
slaves Of the sugar planters. and
he has grown very wealthy in this
modern slave trade. The American
public when it learns all the true in
wardness Of the case will be even more
indignant than II is today over the high
handed outrage that Cleveland has at
tempted TO perpetrate. His chief ad-
wiser in this matter has been Claus
Spreckles, the sugar king, who would
lose some two million dollars year by
the annexation Of these islands 10 tho
United States.

against the provisional government ana

Herald correspondent Noradof. whose
SON is in Spreckles' employ. Thus 1t is
seen that the personal interest of few
men have been allowed to overthrow
the only honorable government these is
lands have ever had, and the president
of the United States has lent himself to
their plans because Of his personal jeal-
ousy of his predecessor.
