ficient for any creed, and the fact that
the movement is inaugurated by some
Of the foremost ministers in all the lead
ing protestant denominations may be
taken to indicate that there is an awak-
ening to the serious Importance of that
fact going on that may at no very dis
tant day start much needed revolu-
ton.
There Is no reason whatever for the
disunion that now prevails in the protes-
tant church, and every reason for union.
One-tepth of the energy now expended
for the maintenance of church organi-
cations is sufficient for the purpose. and
all the rest of the work that is now
wasted in keeping up unnatural aud ir-
religious barriers ought to be expended
in labor for the better knowledge and
the better life of mankind.
This new brotherhood has wide,
rich, and fallow field for labor. 1t may
do great service to the christian world,
and therefore to the heathen world,
by exposing the folly of churches ex-
pending SO much of their vital force in
splitting hairs while the world con-
tinues to wallow in the trough Of its
dearly beloved sins and errors.

Newport in drawing jurors recently
rejected the names Of all foreign-born
citizens is without foundation in fact,
and is an indefensible aspersion ON the
character Of honest public officials.
That such charges will be credited In
any quarter is to be doubted, for the
reason that the people know the source
from which they eminate to be untrust-
worthy and unreliable. 1t was
this same organ which pub
lished with glaring headlines
on the morning Of election day last
spring the charge that Mayor Horton
had ordered railroad and steamboat
companies to stop carrying passengers
to Newport on Sunday.
This story was made out OF whole
cloth for political purposes in the Office
Of the organ. The jury story was un-
doubtedly manufactured in the same
way and with the same end in view.

AFTER MIR. CARROLL.

That very large part Of the Pawtucket
Democracy which is opposed to the
dominance of Mr.. Hugh j. Carroll is
trying to find out where the ex-boss is
at. That is, they are endeavoring to
ascertain whether or not he will be a
candidate for the mayoralty nomination
this fall.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Carroll
has of late shown premonitory symptoms
of office-seeking, He has, for instance,
been patting Mayor Brown on the back
and telling the Republicans they should
give him a denomination. Those who
know Mr.. Carroll regard this friendli-
ness toward the present chief executive
as sure indication of his own intention
to enter the contest for the nomination
and of his desire to have Mr.. Brown as
an opponent.
Possibly they read Mr.. Carroll's in.
tentions Alright. Certainly they have
reason to be on the alert, remembering
as they do that year ago Mr.. Carroll
publicly and solemnly declared he
would retire from politics for five years
at least and in few months bobbed up
as candidate for the general assembly.
They will not, however, be dissatisfied
if Mr.. Carroll does succeed in capturing
the nomination. Indeed 1t Will be quite
in accord with their wishes for tn, y
have certain scores against him which
can be settled only by slaughtering him
at the ballot box, a consummation which
cannot be prevented by the tomahawks
of the King Philip club which he has, it
is claimed. impressed into his service.

KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT.

The Democratic press has had "lots
Of fun" over the tariff on tin plate and
the failure of one or two tin-plate fac
tories, but the Democratic press has not
had much to say about the testimony
recently given before the tariff commit
tee in Washington by the tin-plate
makers.
According to their testimony, over
forty tin-plate factories have been start
ed since the passage of the Mckinley
bill. These factories give employment
to thousands Of men, and the wages
are higher than in Europe; the capital
invested is about Si,OoO,OOO and the
production is los, 900 900 pounds.
Take off the duties on tin plate and
all these factories would have TO stop.
Here is a protection argument that
cannot be swept away by the waters of
free trade, not even If all the food gates
of that heresy were opened.
Tin ware is no higher than when the
Mckinley act was put in force and
this fact goes to prove that while pro.
lection protects, IL does not always pro.
tect at the expense of the consumer.

The improvements now in progress in
the government building in this city
seem to indicate that no new building
is contemplated for the present at least
1t may now be good time to consider
whether Providence is not already too
large both In territory and population
for its postoffice business to be confined
to a single location. A branch Office
at Cranston street, at Elmwood, and at
other points which might be mentioned
could be established probably to the ad-
vantage Of the service and the con-
venience Of the people. For the points
named the mails would be assorted on
the cars and thrown off at the stations,
and delivery at such points might be
commenced before the mails could be
received at the Providence Office. Such
an arrangement would remove from the
Office large number Of carriers, and
the space they now occupy could be at
the service of the Office or the public,
the routes of the carriers wonld be
shortened, and it is believed that the
business of the Office would thereby be
facilitated. II we cannot have new
building let us have all possible facili-
ties for doing business in the old.
Branch offices are in successful opera
tion in many cities and render excellent
service.

CHRISTIAN UNITY.

The action taken by some OF the
leading clergymen of all denominations
who have been in attendance at the
meetings Of the great religious parlia-
inent at the Worlds fair justifies the
hope that there isa work in religious
bodies or an impulse that will event
ually bring them to a union Of force
and work.
What is called the Brotherhood Of
Christian Unity has been formed, "for
the purpose Of uniting with all those
who desire to serve God and their fel-
low-men under the inspiration Of the
life and teachings Of jesus Christ" To
this simple but sufficient pledge
preachers OF many creeds affixed their
names.
This declaration Of principle is alI-suf.

CASTING OUT DEVILS.
Christian Alliance Members in Session
Seventeen Hours.
Especial to the Press. ]

OLD ORCHARD, August 1.-THE Chris
tian Alliance campmeeting here closed
with remarkable meeting lasting from
10 o'clock Sunday night until three this
afternoon. The first remarkable scene,
and perhaps the one special thing that
led up to the meetings that started at 10
o'clock Sunday night, was the cast
ing out of devils from woman. She
shouted and screamed, and at last fell to
the ground in commissions. A little band
of workers, headed by Rev. Benjamin
Luscomb, who started church in Port
land year or SO ago, and led in great
revival, gathered around. Mr.. Luscomb
read selections from the Scripture re-
garding the casting out of devils, and
then prayer was offered. At first the
woman screamed, or the devil did, just
as you choose to look at it. saying, 81
Then another prayer was offered, and
the woman became herself. and praised
God for her recovery.
Sunday night, after the close of the
regular meeting in the grove, a woman,

of the workers said this evening. ''was
prostrated of the power" and remained
in trance-like state for some time. She
was taken by number of the workers
of both sexes to the chapel, and there
remained unconscious. The workers
formed in circle about her, and clasp
ing hands prayed for the divine messen-
ger to bring the asked for blessing. The
missionary revived and began to speak
Then, as the workers claim, a strange in
fluence fell upon the entire campground
Men and women unable to sleep, rose
and dressed, and with one accord started
for the chapel. Nearly every cottage
was represented, and from that time un-
til o'clock this afternoon there was
steady stream of people going to and
from the chapel, but most of those who
took part in the opening of the meeting,
never left the room until it closed, fed

A Horse Thief ON His Travels.

Augusta, August Last Tuesday a
young man hired team of E. W. Smith
of Newport and drove through to Au-
gusta the same day, leaving it at a stable
here. Mr.. Smith began to look around
when his property was not returned, and
set the officers at work to find horse and
carriage. The thief went to Hallowell,
Thursday, not satisfied with his New
port theft, got one Of Niles's teams and
had not been heard from at last ac-
counts.
Norridgewock, August 7.-On Friday
night a man about 25iyears old registered
at the Sawyer House. He had dark
brown horse and road cart. In the morn
ing he offered to sell the team at such q
low figure as to arouse suspicious that it
was stolen, and on being questioned
closely about it he suddenly decamped
leaving team and a coat in the stable.
