A PHASE on ME STRIKE.

No fair-minded person, regardless OF
of his opinion as to the wisdom or un-
wisdom of the Olneyville strike can help,
feeling n warm admiration for the un-
precedented good order that has charac-
terized the conduct Of. the unemployed
weavers throughout the whole un-
fortunate affair. 1t has been
a striking innovation in the methods of
conducting labor disagreements. Not
one word Of threat has been uttered,
not drop of blood shed and not single,
act of vandalism committed. Labor
agitators who have counseled iDccndia-
rism and resort TO force have
been uncompromisingl frowned
down. By concerted agreement
the weavers left their looms, but there
the whole matter ended. Six thousand
people, hungry, ill-clothed, and despond.
ent, have resi- ected the law and abided
by its mandates. The spectacle is one
never before witnessed in any community
and TO the unhinching fidelity of the
weayers to the law of the
land is due in great measure
the sympathy and assistance they have
received at the hands of private individ-
uals and business concerns. The lesson
is one that may well be craven upon the
memories of the entire labor world. The
teachings of anarchy are harmless in
such community. Olneyville should
be proud to class them among her law
abiding citizens.

NOW WE'RE OFF!
IIess Changes.

Not for good mahy years have so many
changes in the newspaper fraternity oc-
cured as at this time. The cause is mainly
to be found in the recent vicissitudes OF
THE News, and the numerous fat
attempts TO make that paper successful
financially.
Quite number OF able men have come
and gone during the two years which
have succeeded the birth 1.-THE NEWS, but
they have been men far better acquainted
with the people and customs of other
states than those of Rhode Island, and to
that fact is attributed the sluggishness at
the money end OF the paper, while the
news end was throbbing with vigorous
life.
II takes decade to discover all the
peculiarities OF Rhode Island newspaper
clientele, and those who survive that
period OF uncertainty are reasonably sure
of success.
But scattered all over the city are the
graveyards Of young newspapers which
have died OF inanition after few years of
painful existence.
Some of these were decent, self-respect-
ing journals, with lofty aims and dcserv-
ing OF better fate than death by the way
side, while others were monstrosities that
like Richard, came into the world but half
made up, with moral deformitics that
would have justified strangling at birth.
Not one of the latter class Is alive TODAY.
The latest development in the career of
THE NEWS must mako the paper successful
IL anything under the sun can. BY the
change effected in the organization after
the sale of the paper under mortgage
foreclosure, three OF the brightest and
best-known newspaper mon in the state
came into the possession OF THE NEW and
are to guide its policy. They are Charles
III. Howland, Martin c. Day and George Il.
Mackinnon, each one OF whom is n
thorough journalist by the divine right of
ability.
All three have been connected with the
Providence Journal for many years, Mr..
Day as city editor, Mr.. Mackinnon as n
departmental editor, and Mr.. How land
previous TO his appointment as secretary
TO Governor Ladd, as a special writer and
editor OF department of the Sunday
edition.
In addition TO ability with which are
coupled vigor, perseverance, courage and
enterprise, they enjoy the advantage of
popularity. There Is not a spot in the
state where they arc not well known and
liked, and this wide acquaintance which
was lacking among former proprictors OF
The News, viii be one OF the elements of
that success which the friends OF each pre-
dict for the paper under its new regime.
BY the reorganization Mr.. Mackinnon
has been elected president of THE NEWS
company, Mr.. Day secretary and MIR.
Howland treasurer.
The later, il Is understood, will have
charge OF the business end of the paper,
but all hope hat his duties as such will
not deprive the paper OF his talent rs "a
charming writer. Mossrs. Mackinnon and
Day have enviablc regulations as dcscrip-
tive writers, and possess versatility with
the pen that but few men in Rhode Island
can lay claim TO.
II Is said that Col. II. B. Wlnship Is in
torested In the paper, and may give IL the
benefit OF his splendid business ability.
II this is SO il must be successful

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With this number, the News company
takes full charge OF the property and
publication of the Providence News,
daily and weekly.
The News company is a corporation
chartered under the laws of the state
of Rhode Island and ofiicered as follows;
President-George f. Mackinnoh.
Vice president and secretary-Martin
G. Day.
Treasurer-Charles III. Howland.
Mr.. Mackinnon is superintendent of
the editorial, reportorial. composing and
mechanical departments and dramatic
and musical editor; Mr.. Day is man
aging editor Mr.. Rowland is general
business manager.
The new News will be new in every
feature--except those of dignity and
cleanliness, which qualities have,
through all the vicissitudes of the
property, maintained for it the
respect of the community. Its
facilities, the experience and ca
capital at its command will be devoted
absolutely to the gathering of news for
its readers, with an especial view to the
furnishing of fresh, crisp record OF
local events and the intelligence available
through the unrivalled service of the
Associated Press.
Politically the new News will be Re-
publican.
The new management begins its work
today by cleaning out the dead wood
that It finds accumulated in the natural
process of degeneration in the old News.
The paper will be reduced to four pages,
an eight page Issue being printed on
saturdays and such other days as an en-
iarged paper is warranted for the press
of news or business. Condensation will,
Aowever, be the principle and practice.
No dry rot will ever be allowed
to swell the paper. Whatever the size,
the price will remain the same, one
cent, deviation only being made to per-
nit the newsdealers to ask cents extra
a week for delivery to residences and
offices. There will be three editions daily,
at noon, at Q o'clock p. M. and o'clock.
The subscription price will be SO year.
The Weekly News will be issued at 80
cents year. The names of the present sub
scribers will be continued on our books
beyond the expiration of their subscrip-
tions until they have got their moneys
worth"
The new News begins its career with
ample evidence of cordiality and good
win on the part of the people whom it
seeks to serve. To meet those senti-
ments more than half way and retain
them shall be the single object. The
management is in business for the pro-
duction of first class newspaper. They
have absolute and sole control of the
property which bears their name and
are untrammeled by outside in fuences.
as they are also free of every financial
obligation.
The NEWS proposes to merit that meas
ure Of support which shall win success.
