FOOLISH

Visions of death by dynamite or some
other destructive agency have caused
the silver senators to hitch around un-
easily on their seats of late. Instead of
keeping both eyes on Mr.. Speaker, as of
yore, one optic is now employed in
sweeping around the galleries in search
of the deadly bomb-thrower, while the
other concentrates in the direction of
the president Of the senate. The fill
busters, so-called, are the object of at
tack, and it is thought that il an explo-
sive were dropped on the crown of a
silverite's head it would be a most per-
suaslve argument in favor Of a gold
standard. So far have these foolish
fears taken possession of the senate that
the sergeant-at-arms has issued an order
to all doorkeepers and ushers in the
senate wing to watch carefully all visit
ors to the galleries, and if they see any,
one carrying a bundle or a ,alise, no
matter how small, to prevent the bearer
from entering the gallery with it. La
dies are watched as closely as men,, and
il there is a suspicion Of a package in
pocket of anyone he is requested to
lake it out and leave it in the custody of
The doorkeeper. Three mysterious men
there must be some mystery to the plot
ire now constantly patrolling the senate
corridors, 80 dispatches read, outside the
and watching them inside.
Some crank is evidently having fun at
he expense Of the dignified senate, or
lse it is a very gauzy trick of the gold
Jugs to shut off further parlay with
heir pet measure.

THREE weeks have now elapsed since
the repeal bill was reported from the
house and the senate is now no nearer
to a vote than when it was reported.
The gold bugs are getting nervous, but
the silver men cannot be choked off, and
the inevitable result must be a compro.
mise or no Legislation. This is at least
the way matters look now.

OF revenue, unconstitutional. Protec-
tion has been the corner stone OF our in
dustrial prosperity. The very moment
its-stability is attacked the superstruc-
ture feels the shock and trembles.
Whether it will fall depends entirely
on whether the corner stone is knocked
out.
The Democrats have said they would
destroy this corner stone. If they do
the people will know they have but two
alternatives before them, either to
accept the same rate of wages paid to
European workers or 10 remain in hope

national calamity. but it will not be
much worse than the present condition
under which all certainty and confidence
have fled, and financial disasters are

EVILS OF UNCERTAINTY.

AS business man Of large experience
and good judgment Mr.. Charles
Fletcher is entitled to speak with au-
thority on the present monetary and
commercial condition of the country.
He is not a political pessimist, but he
sees very clearly one Of the chief causes
for the present depression in trade.
Mr.. Fletcher says the uncertainty as
to what congress will do in the way of
tariff legislation is primarily response
BILE for the present depression. No sem
sible man who has given the matter a
moments thought will deny this. The
Sherman act is responsible for some of
the evils from which the country is
now suffering but not for all of them.
The repeal of the obnoxious clause in
that law will do much to create n bet
ter feeling in financial circles, but the
effect on the industrial situation will be
Insignificant.
The fact -is-that there cannot
be better condition of affairs
until 1t is known just what the
Democrats will do. At Chicago the
party denounced protection vs. q

THE CUP DEFENDERS.

The new Herreshoff cup defender
Vigilant, on her trial spins, has shown
herself so speedy that those who ought
to be well informed on such matters
have picked her as the boat that will
meet Lord Dunrayen's Nalkyrie.
Perhaps this confidence is well found
ed, but it will be well to await more
definite results. We are all certain
Bristol will have the honor of building
the winner of the Americas cup. With

MILL PRosPE RlTY.

The semi-annual review of the tex
tile industries made by the Textile
World, just published, shows that there
has been serious check to the growth
OF those industries during the time
covered by the latest report.
Everybody in Rhode Island remem.

Everybody knows now that the cotton

The Sun is at heart protectionist, and

PROVIDENCE is all right, SO far as its
banks are concerned. The statement
of their condition made this week shows
that they have plenty Of money, and no
extra call for it is being made, or is
likely to be made. The only trouble
with our banks is that their cash is not
loaned up as closely as they would like to
have it. They've got more money than
they like to carry.
