interesting and somewhat novel ar,i-

full of suggestive topics; for instance,
the state of morals in rural commu-

condition of education; and especially
the social condition and surroundings

The President, II Is reported, travels
with a body-guard of armed Govern
ment detectives constantly close to his
person. He never sleeps, never rides,
never walks, never goes abroad without
this body guard.
Mr.. CLEVELAND feels the full weight of
the greatness OF his office, in the sense
that il brings him in contact with pos
sible peril.
If this story is true it will inspire
good Americans with mixed feelings.
Why does Mr.. CLEVELAND fear?
Does he expect to effectually put a
barrier between himself aud such wild
cranks as BooTH and GUITEAU? Does
he believe there exists in this country
any sane person who would raise his
hand against President?
One is at loss whether to approve
the course the President has taken, or
to suspect him OF undue timidity.
1t is most grievous condition if we in
America. who choose our own rulers and
make our own laws, cannot assure our
President that he can move about among
us without fear of assassination.
THE News refuses to accept such a
horrid theory. 1t believes Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND might travel freely among the
people without fear of mClestation.
Mr.. CLEVELAND is peculiarly con-
stituted. He has always been one of
the most emphatic preachers of pure
democracy, but constant practicer of
monarchical notions.

The nomination of DR.. l.. +. G. Garvin
OF CUMBERLAND to succeed the Hon. Charles
III. Page in Congress will hardly be re-
ceived with a whirlwind of appreciation
by the workingmen OF the district, for the
labor party has a candidate of its own in
the field and the doctor is q pronounced
free trader, who would secure all Govern
mental revenue from a single land tax.
He. no more than Congressman Page,
can represent avowed Democratic prin-
ciples and be true to his own expressed
convictions, for while the Congressman
favors higher protective duties than his
party Is willing to concede, the doctor
would abolish what little there Is left OF
protection.
1t is difficult, therefore, to see wherein
the talented and fearless advocate of pop
ulistic reforms far in advance OF his day
and generation, and wholly foreign to the
direct issues of the day, is to expect any
considerable support at the polls at the
November election.
That the doctor is a good fellow goes
without saying, and some day he will be
recognized as the pioneer authority on
certain social and economic questions.
But his nomination for the parliament of
the people in 1894 is about quarter of q
century ahead of time.

What IL Means.
PaMtucket Times.

A Republican victory this year does not
only mean the supremacy OF the party
which represents good government, but
in means the thwarting of bold Demo-
cratic scheme to still further impoverish
the wage-earners of the country. IL Is
well known fact that President Cleveland
and several of the most influential lead
ers of the Democratic party have sub
stantially declared that the Democratic
tariff law passed at the recent session Is
only a beginning, and that the attack on
American industry and American wages
Is TO be followed up without rest or truce
until the barriers of Protection shall have
been entirely swept away. That this is
their ultimate intention there can be no
doubt. and this deliberate scheme must
be foiled at aIy cost.
President Cleveland, in his letter to Mr..
Catchings Of Mississippi, spoke, in effect,
of the Democratic tariff law as only a
step toward the fulfillment of the Demo-
cratic program. Senator Mills, tho leader
of the So called tariff reform movement
In the Senate, said: 1--WE do not at
all accept this as final settlement
OF the question OF tariff reform. We have
carried the outposts that defended the
citadel OF the enemy, and we intend to
push the contest until we carry the gates
OF the city and sweep the streets Of the
enemy and take everything from him."
1t is evident, therefore, that the Demo-
cratic majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives must be wiped out, and 1t Is
the duty Of every intelligent Rhode Island
voter TO help in this patriotic operation.
The people will not submit to be gulled
any longer, and have no further use for
Democratic promises and predictions.
The reality Is far too evident.
Intelligent workingmen now know that
Republican success will erect an insur-
mountable barrier against Q continuance
of the Democratic program Of destruction
and prevent further British encroach-
ments on the industries which support
millions OF American homes. A Republi-
can triumph next month will mean an
end to Democratic attacks on the tariff
and for this reason not vote cast for
Republican candidates will be wasted.

Everybody who conld get the chance
and had the disposition was looking at
Mars last week and some interesting
discoveries were made.
Tbs war god planet was nearer the
earth than at any time during its orbit.
1t was demonstrated beyond doubt
that Mars has double canals and that
these can hardly be natural for they
ramify in all directions from the poles,
the region melting snow, and in a
triangular manner-evidently the result
of design.
The overflow is also provided for by
broad surfaced basins wherever two
canals intersect. All this plan and
arrangement points to the habitation of
Mars by some sort of intelligent life.
The Martians however, it is now be
lieved, have not been carrying on any
signalling to us on earth, what was
thought to be possible Signals being the
snow peaks illuminated by the sun.
Many years ago an Italian astronomer
-caiied- attention to the double lines of
canals and if they are really artificial
they are tremendous engineering under-
takings. They are many in number,
thousands Of miles in length and Of a
uniform width of 200 miles.
What manner OF folks could have
built them?

A SPLENDID TRIBUTE.

What a splendid tribute was paid 10
the memory of the late GEoR GE L.
CRANsToN of North Kingstown on Sun
day! The death Of but few citizens in
all the history Of Rhode Island has
called out such evidence of so wide a
sentiment of esteem. No ordinary mark
of respec: was this. 1t was q tribute
as is only paid TO unusual popular
fame and greatness, as, in
Rhode Island, the similar at
tendance of crowds of mourners have
distinguished the last services over the
remains of Il BURNSIDE or an ANTHONY.
GEORGE Il. CRANsToN was not great in
the sense that he had acquired public
distinction beyond a good many others
of his fellow citizens, yet thousands
attended his funeral. No perfunctory
attendance was this, either, for the scene
Of the obsequies was little country
village rather inconvenientiy removed
from the close population of the State.
The fact is every one of the thousands
there had lost a personal friend
and that friend had been great in many
virtues that draw men warmly to their
fellowmen, as simple in his nature as he
was strong, unassuming as he was
brave, vigorous, hearty and honorable.

THE newest thing in microbes is the
diphtheria microbe and now that he
has been found, the way is opened to find
something to kill him, or ameliorate
the toxine that he secretes-for most
microbes only act indirectly and
through the poison that they instil.
NJ. RoUx, Paris physician, has pro-
posed "A system of diphtheria vaccination
which he calls the serum treatment.
Serum is the yellow colored liquid that
is observed, moist and warm, when the
coagulatiou of the blood takes place.
The serum treatment consists of in.
oculating a person suffering from a
given disease with serum taken from an
animal who has been secured immunity,
from the edisease-secreting microbe, such
immunity being secured in the animal
10y inoculating II with successive series
Of toxines so that it's organism has be-
come accustomed TO their action and il
finally refuses to be affected by the
efforts Of a given microbe.
From animals whose organism has, by
this process, been fortified their serum
may be either preventive or curative. 1t

Of pneumonia and cholera, where the
microbe must be killed before 10 de-

microbe Itself, but also W the
