In accepting the position Mr.. Miller
said that the Democratic party met today
with great hopes for the Nation and the
State. II was unquestionably true that in
Rhode Island we were not living
under q constitutional government, but
he believedathat this would be ended.
1t was also true that we were living under
the shadow of the last Republican mis-
rule. the Mckinley bill, and other
legislation of such obnoxious character.
But now that the nation was living under

Grover Cleveland at their head the dark

REEDS GREAT SPEECH

That is a great speech which Thomas
B. Reed, Of Maine, delivered ID Cooper
Union, in the city of New York, last Sat
urday evening. It glistens all over with
gems of thought 1t marks him as
great. broad gagged man. 1t is so
thoroughly honest and free from petty
craftsmanship and self-laudation that it
can be appreciated by every honest and
thoughtful reader of whatever political
faith.
He said that the depressed condition Of
business il not the result or the present
tariff law, nor Of the previous one, but Of
uncertainty, quoting Mr.. Wilson's declar-
alton that the fight is only just begun.
He referred to the matter of strikes as
follows:
STRIKES are always unfortunate things.

cess consists not in their victories. but in
their possible existence. Men who see

Yelled Prophet is far older, dating from
1875 quite a hOary antiquity for St.

sion from New Orleans and Mobile, and
the scenic presentations there trace back
through the carnival and saturnalia to
the prehistoric festivals of Greece and
Rome. And finally these had their orr
gin in that symbolic nature worship
which seems to have been the first reli-
gion of the Aryan race.
