FIVE candles in each furnished
light for the darkened rooms and
also served to ornament the tables,
on which birthday cake with
five candles in it was placed at the
head for the little hostess to blow
out the lights, one by one, as a
stroke Of bell sounded, to signify
the years passing into the darkness
Of Time and the beginning OF
another year with the festivities OF
the occasion. Miss Virginia wore
a pink silk dress, pink slippers and

candy. fruit and dainties; she bore

the becoming grace and propriety
Of an age suitable to her formal
entrance into society.

When the lungs are sore such an ap-
plication on the chest and another on

/ Iccrtainly am heartily I'm favor of any and

that of all philosophical citizens, very much,
IL not nearly all wished for, can be accom-
plished. "Old men for counsel and young
men for war" Is as good an adage now as IL
ever was, therefore get the younger men of

chance to get hold of the wheels of
progress and help lift them out of
tho mud OF sluggish action, which
seems just at the present time 10 clog their

success. That certainly will he great point

CHAGRINED

1t is reported that some of the lead.
ing Democrats who took part in the
doings at Newport last week are already
convinced that they played an unwise
and discreditable part.
This is emphatically true, and even
the Republicans who desired to have
the Democratic position appear as weak
as possible would be glad, for the honor
of the state, if the record of the doings
of the men who followed the lead of
Colonel Honey could be materially
modified.
That the Democrats are already
ashamed Of their acts at Newport is
creditable to their good sense, as well
as to their political acumen.
1t is fortunate that the Republicans
have nothing to reproach themselves
with. Their course, outlined and
guided by the governor and advised by
eminent counsel, was dignifed and
liberal. They did not offer to obstruct.
and only required that the laws and the
constitution be strictly observed. They
were even willing to contemplate de-
feat and the surrender of the state
Offices to the Democrats, only stipulat-
ing that no violence be done to the laws
and the constitution.
The Democratic powers insisted upon
having their vengeance first, and so lost
the only opportunity that presented
itself whereby they might hope to real
ize their ambition to become the
minority rulers of the state. That they
were defeated can be regarded as only
the perfectly just and proper punish
ment for the unworthy tactics en-
ployed.

toward finding proof of the guilt OF
Miss Borden will be revealed during
the trial. The unaccountable laxity
shown during the first two day after
the crime was committed discredited
the Fall River police to such an extent
that the public has never felt that re-
lance could be placed upon their
theories.
There has been a singular hesitancy
displayed by the prosecuting officers
throughout. From the time of the
murder to the present they have appar-
emily had but little faith in their case
against Miss Borden. Responsibility
has been avoided, and steps have been
taken with signs of reluctantance.
The avoidance of direct responsible
ity by the attorney general of Massa-
chusetts, almost on the eve of the trial,
when at an earlier stage he had insisted
upon taking the management of the
case into his own hands, gives color to
a suspicion that the governments case
is not strong. Many circumstances
have strengthened this belief.
The public belief is that If Lizzie
Borden is not innocent the prosecuting
officers have an exceedingly difficult
task to prove her guilty. This belief
may be found to be utterly without
foundation, but il has grown in strength
and extent since the unfortunate
woman was arrested.
The concern Of the public in this trial
is more that the efficacy of the officers
of the law, and the processes by which
the law assumes to protect human life,
be vindicated, than that Lizzie Borden
be exculpated or convicted. There is
scarcely shadow of possibility that she
will not receive justice. A jury could
not be einpanelled that would convict
her if the evidence did not fully war

CHEAPER GAS.

The reduction Of the price of gas that
has been announced by the Providence
Gas company is step in the right
direction, and it will tend to direct the
attention of the public toward one of
the most important of the social re-
forms of the day.
When the price of gas is lowered to a
figure that admits of its use for domes-
tic purposes. other than lighting, and
the public become convinced Of that
fact, there will be very rapid adop-
tion of it for fuel and for heating houses.
The price that is to prevail here after
July is $l.20 per 1000 cubic feet.
Whether this is low enough to admit Of
the nse OF gas for all domestic pur-
poses is a matter not fully set
tied, probably. If due caution is
used to prevent waste it probably
could be made to show equal economy
with coal, if not superior. The margin
is so slight, however, that 1t is probable
that the majority of users would not be
able to realize much benefit by the
change.
If gas could be sold for 81 per 1 1000
cubic feet there would be no question
that it would be decidedly more econo-
mical than coal. The gas companies
will soon SEQ the wisdom of making a
price that will assure housekeepers that
it is for their financial advantage to aban-
don the cumbersome and health-d destroy
ing coal ranges that now make the ordi-
nary kitchen almost uncomfortable and
hotbeds of disease.
In this stage of the progress of all
the other branches of domestic science
it is not creditable to our intelligence
that we continue to consume crude coal
in our homes. The waste of energy is
something prodigious, and the damage
to health cannot he estimated.
This step in the right direction which
has been taken. is, therefore, Of the
greatest Importance, and the effects
that will probably be made possible
will have an important bearing upon
the economy and health of the people.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNED.

Last weeks occurrences at Newport
furnish some lessons which the Repub-
licans of Rhode Island can study with
profit. While it is true the Democrats
acted in an outrageously partisan and
palpably illegal manner, it is equally
certain that but for the failure of some
FIVE or six thousand Republicans to per-
form their duties as citizens on April 5
such action on the part Of the Demo-
Gratis would have been impossible.
1t matters very little from what cause
this lukewarmness sprang - whether
from a lack of interest or from a feeling
that the party was certain to elect its
candidates--the result was the same.
Two of the Republican candidates re-
ceived pluralities while the voto for the
other three was slightly below that of the
Democrats. Had one-half, or even one
third, of the dormant Republican vote
been brought out every one of the
nominees would have been elected.
That this result was not achieved was
chargeable directly to lack of interest,
and those Republicans who by their
negligence contributed to it can rega rd
themselves as responsible for the shame
and disgrace brought upon the fair name
of the state by the revolutionary course
Of the Democrats. ".''''
Every Republican in the state must
nUw be convinced that If the party is to
remain in control, and If good govern
mentis too be assured, he must exercise
his privileges as an elector.
The Democracy is growing stronger
day by day. It Is drawing e
its ranks, through misrepresenta-
ton and demagogic arguments, a
too large proportion Of the younger
voters, and unless the Republi-
cans present united front they may
look Tor defeat all along the line. an
event which will mean the grasping Of
the Ieins vi government " sst OF

The Democratic house is going to ask
the supreme court to decide whether or
not 1t is a revolutionary body. II the
decision is in the affirmative the ques-
tion is, How is the house to find it out ?
If revolutionary or illegally constituted
the body has no right to ask the court
for an opinion, nor is the court bound to
give one. In such case the Demo-
Gratis win probably enjoy a wait that
knows no ending.

A RETURN TO WILD CAT CURRENCY

A RETURN TO WILD CAT CURRENCY.
IL now seems certain that one of the
first acts OF the Democratic congress
will be the repeal of the ten per cent.
tax on bank circulation. What that
will mean those still living who remem-
ber the financial panic of 1s5657 know
pretty well, through experieuee involv-
ing personal loss.
President Cleveland seems deter
mined to make history repeat itself in
this respect, and that, too, solely for
the purpose of throwing sop to the
free silver men who insist that the
Sherman act shall not be repealed until
the tax on state bank circulation is re-
moved. The repeal of this tax law will
be followed by the establishment of
state banks and the country will suffer
as never before from an almost worth
less wildcat currency.
A glance at some of the figures that
have come down as warning, but
which do not appeal to Mr.. Cleveland
or his supporters, will show how great
is the danger that now menaces the
country through policy to which the
Democratic majority in congress stands
committed.
1t was estimated that during the de-
cade between 1850 and 1860 the loss to
holders of state bank bills by deprecia-
tion and failures of the institutions of
issue was $75,Ooo,ooo, $1S.s5 for
every family in the United States at that
time. 1t is OF course upon the wage
earners that losses like this .princi-
pally fall, and if the Democratic policy
as outlined is carried out they are liable
to be repaid by penury for their honest
though unfortunate support of Grover
Cleveland.

A More Earnest Policy.

As have previously stated In your colums,
approve heartily Of this business missionary
movement Starting In IL 80 late, we must
not expect great results from what can be
achieved simply at the Columbian exposition;
but what Is done there ought to be the begin
ming of a more earnest policy by the business
community OF Providence, TO make known
the business resources OF our city, and in the
way of systematic provision for marketing
our products In all parts Of the earth.
