A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
gentleman whose face is probably bet.
ter known than that of any man IN the
known world is democratic candidate
for the gubernatorial chair OF Massachu-
setts. There is hardly child in the
land who fails to recognize his picture,
for it has become familiar almost as
household portraits, being found in
every class of paper from one END OF
the country to the other, always i'm
pressing one with the keen business
and industrious look of the prosperous
man he is-a prosperity and stiiuence
he has honestly acquired by means OF
profuse advertising, the reliability of
his goods and, above all, by being
consistent and active democrat. We
refer to Mr.. VIM. L. Douglas, of Brock
ton, Mass, of ''$3 shoe" fame. The
possibilities of a man in this great re-
public were never better exemplified
than in the history of this diligent gen.
tleman. Left fatherless at tender
age, he, while other boys were engaged
in Juvenile sports, stood upon q box
and pegged brogans. BY industry, per-
severance and enterprise he assembled
rung after rung of the ladder until now
he is one Of the most prosperous manu-
facturers in the world. Mr. Douglas
has filled with credit various minor
posts, including that of Mayor of Brock
ton, and now his party desire him to
succeed Russell in the Governors chair.

STATE BANK TAX.

Because no reference was made in the
presidents message TO congress TO the
proposed repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on state bank circulation certain Dem.
ocratic organs assume he IS in favor of
it. This may be and probably is true,
because Cleveland has recently displayed
such subscrvieucy to his ptrtt,' -iss-tlae
matter of promoting its ons!aughts on
the tariff that it may well be imagined
he will not put any block in the way Of
establishing wildcat currency whic h
his party insists upon it.
The country has had sad and costly
experience with state banks. Millions
upon millions of dollars were lost throu IN
the foolish system and a still greater
amount viii be sunk if they are again
foisted oa thecountry. Here in Rhode Is
land there are hundreds, possibly thous-
ands OF men who can recall the tinant ial
disasters of 1856 and 1857 which mea in no
small degree attributable to deprecated
and worthless currency put in circula-
tion under the state banking law. The
same is true Of the whole country and
yet in order TO please an inconsiderable
and unreasonlng element the De.
mocracy and its present leader stand
ready to return to such an iniquitous
system. 1t is sorry spectacle. indeed.

Is trying to punish him by preventing
his confirmation.
This brings the matter down TO con-
test between the president and the New
York senator. II Cleveland has that
steadfastness Of purpose with which he
is centrally credited he will stand hy
his appointment. He has shown stub
bornness in worse cause and a display
OF it in this instance will do much TO
compensate for some OF his grieyous
errors in the recent past OF Mr. Horn
blowers fitness there appears TO be no
question and it would be a little
less than disgraceful to permit
a political fugler to compass his discom-
future simply because he had the hon

appeals was a criminal and unfit 10 wear

battle between the president ana the dis

HORNBLOWERS CASE.

There is very pretty iight on be-
tween President Cleveland on the one
side and Senator Hill on the other. The
president nominated Mr.. Hornblower
TO succeed the late Judge Blaichford on
the bench Of the supreme court Of the
United States, but thus far his confirm.
alton has been delayed. That this de-
lay is due to the opposition Of Senator
Hill cannot be doubted.
The latter stated just before the re-
cent election in the Empire State that if
Mr.. hornblower supported the Tam
many ticket--that is, If he voted for the
discredited Maynard, there would be no
question as TO his confirmation. From
Hills present attitude 1t is to b. as
snmed that he Is convinced that Mr..
Hornblower did not ,arsy out his orders
and that in spirit Of yindicliyeness he

has reached the end OF his rope. The
conference of the business men Thurs
day left no doubt on that point. They
are no longer able to support the des-
titute strikers and nothing remained
for Mr. McGuy but TO retreat
with his shattered forces as gracefully
as possible. This he has done and en-
deavors to save himself by assuring the
strikers that the new schedule is just
what they want.
The strike has left the operatives in a
deplorable condition. Debts upon debts
have accumulated which it will require
months of toll and pinching
to liquidate. Credit has been stretched
past the limit and the rebound will be
disastrous. Economy aud temperance
must characterize the lives Of the
weayers for months TO come il they are

will be shown them by their creditors,
but leniency must be supplemented by

PEIXOTO'S EXPERIMENT.
