breath while the Coxey idea has been
slowly revolving the dull gray matter
contained under the thinkcap of cultured
Athens. 1t was recognized that no snap
judgment would be rendered, and now
the verdict has been reached, according
to The Herald of that city.
"One OF the unemployed"-bear in
mind, not plain. everyday Hobo
writes to The Herald asking Beacon
street to aid the movement. Plain
walking may do for ordinary hoboes,
but for citizens who are temporarily
deprived OF the emoluments and re-
muneration with which their labor is
usually recompensed at the hands of
grateful and oft-times deserving en-
ployers, whose manufactures are
closed because Of the business depres-
sion which still hangs like a dark pail
over the land, in default of palace cars
or steam yachts. bicycles are about the
right size.
The citizen referred to communicates
to The Herald the Boston plan:
belong to the grand army of the
unemployed, and l propose To go TO
Washington with the boys, but do not
propose To walk, and as the Navy De-
partment has paid no attention TO the
request TO furnish the Enterprise
for the use Of the Eastern army can not
sail, neither can / go by rail- as the
Massachusetts authorities have not fur
nished transportation as yet by rail-
road. Now, then, / think there is one
thing for us, and that is this: There
are thousands of safeties owned and
used by the rich, and | feel as if 1t
would be asking but very little from
them that they would allow us the
use of them for our trip. Our army
will be responsible for them. / will
give receipt guaranteeing to return
them in 20 d order in go DAYS. We also
need haversacks for our rations, as we
want TO start with cooked rations.
Will not the ladies Of Beacon street
organize a sewing bee and furnish us
with them? Our headquarters are not
yet established, but soon will be. and
we should he pleased to hear from own
ers of safeties, and from the ladies about
haversacks.
This is Coxey's idea evoluted under
the blue glass Of Boston culture. and we
may expect to see corps of spectacled,
blue-stockinged Bostonians wheeling
gracefully along the roadways on to the
national capital to demonstrate with the
Government, pausing only long enough
to rest under some shade tree, and break
their fast by daintily eating Boston's
own luxury, the festive bean, cooked in
its native pot.

DOWN THE RIVER.

In less than a fortnight the whistle will
blow call aboard" for the first trip down
river. The shore resort schedule is TO go
into effect on May ! and the Newport
trips will begin with lection
day. There is not TO be
anything in the way of an innovation as
so far announced but that isn't necessary.
Going down river in the good old way
is fun enough for any season. The
Continental Steamboat Company expects
TO add one more boat TO its fleet, and the
New York agents are now considering
the advisability OF the purchase. The
steamer which Is being "looked at" is a
brand new craft 10 feet longer than the
Squantum and illuminated by electricity.
What's its name?" "Well, wait till
we get it,"
Manager Buffum anticipates good sea-
son and hasn't any dread of the effect OF
hard times or Coxeys army, for he says,
people don't think of going down river as
an expensive summer vacation cruise, 1T
is merely q cheap way OF get
ting a half-day's recreation and
ranks with taking car rice for the sake
OF the fresh air. A boat trip may cost a
few cents, but there Is more air and
no dust.
The dates ahead for society excursions,
etc., are already numerous.

BELATED ELECTION RETURNS.

The News esteemed professional
friend, Mr.. Joseph b. Bowditch, pub
fishes, through the sympathetic medium
OF The Journal, his annual analysis of the
results of the recent spring election.
THE News takes occasion to refer to
this in friendly spirit of coincidence
that its esteemed friend, Mr.. Bowditch,
can't get any more satisfaction than lie
does ont of his annual ANALYSIS. This is
largely the fault of the statistician HIM
self, because instead of approaching the
figures from the broad standpoint
of an unbiased observer he shuf-
fies them on the Democratic end
of the table and you can't reasonably
expect to get any Democratic satisfac-
tion out of contemporaneous election
figures nowadays. And Mr.. Bowditch's
position particularly entities him to the
sympathy of his newspaper friends, be-
cause of late years Mr.. Bowditch has
evoluted from the aDalyzing caterpillar
to the prophesying butterfly and his
"annual analysis" of year ago, DEM
onstrated, if The News remembers cor
rectly, that the growing figures meant
the reign Of unanimous Democracy in
Rhode Island within very short period
Now, Of course, this beautiful vision has
vanished
Accordingly, it is in no spirit of con-
troversy that The News regards Mr..
Bowditch's "annual analysis" for 1894
The figures make enough trouble for the
analyst without anybody else taking
hold. The News regrets, however, for
Mr.. Bowditch's own sake, that he
should depart from his analysis to say
unbecoming words about the Republican
State offlcers-elect. It's little late for
that kind of talk. THE News agrees
with the analyst when he goes
for the Democratic leaders in
the late campaign, who, he writes,
displayed appalling idiocy in refusing
to discuss national politics; but THE
News is surprised that The Journal
should SO cheerfully permit Mr.. Bow
ditch to print this reflection in its col
umns inasmuch as The Journal itself
was, and urged the home Democracy to
be, thus appallingly idiotic.
There's another thing wherein Mr.
Bowditch runs against snag and that
is in undertaking to quote from Thomas
Carlyle. Where's his Allibone?

River Point.

Thomas O'Neil was driving through this
place on Sunday with horse that he hired
from a livery stable in Cranston, and
when between the Royal Mill and the
bridge, the horse dropped dead in the
shafts OF the buggy. The horse seemed
all right while on his way from Cranston.
He and his lady friend were driven back
by Mr.. Pelleg.

MAYOR WAKEFIELD of Bath rises to
remark that while the census gives the
indebtedness of his city at $l64 80 per
capita, that in reality the muni-
cipal debt is only S4491-19 per capita,
the city having gone out of the railroad
bond business. This is all very well in
its way, but Bath will need something
stronger than this showing to Offset her
slowness in permitting a big industry
like the Bath Iron Works to even think
of removing elsewhere. 1t is one thing
to have low tax rates and another thing
not to have anything to tax. A small
indebtedness may or may not reflect
credit upon a municipality. 1t some
times costs good deal to have nothing.

EX-SENATOR TABOR Of Colorado, once
a bonanza king. is said to be financially
wrecked. Senator Tabor is remembered
as the builder of the Tabor Opera House
at Denver and the story is told that the
ex-senator objected to the decorators
installation Of Shakespeare's portrait in
the fresco and had his own put in in
instead, remarlSing that he'd like to
know "who in - Shakespeare was,
anyway" In Washington he was noted
for gorgeous rnffied night shirts, dia-
mond studded shoes and similar eccen-
tricities. He seems to have been gen
orally regarded as a chump.

RALEIGH. April ls-rhe special train
bearing the remains of the late Senator
Vance was met by thousands Of people
when it rolled into the capital city of the
state of which he was thrice governor.
After long nights travel, broken at
each station with demonstrations from
the residents in the tolling of bells, the
body of the great North Carolinian was
turned over to the state authorities here,
and escorted to the Capitol by the militia
and Confederate veterans.
The bells of the city tolled and the
great crowds that lined the streets, draped
with solid black, gave only slight in
dication of the universal bereavement.
Thousands were here from every section
of the state. Over $1,000 people viewed
the remains.
At o'clock the funeral train left for

preparatory to the digging of flower beds.
Two young men came along and one OF

who resented it, whereupon the men
climbed over the fence and punched
Delorey in the face. One OF the assailants,

rhe action of the Republican mem
bers of the House yesterday in voting
for the quorum counting rule to enable
the Democracy to transact business
without the presence Of a quorum of
their own party, was virtual abandon
ment of their previous position, which
appears as unnecessary as it was un-
called for, and looks like serious polit-
ical blunder for which the nation may
pay dearly in the end. If the position
taken by the Republicans, which com.
PEELED the Democracy to seriously con-
slider and finally adopt this rule, was
a sound one what was the necessity for
its abandonment?
Certainly the quorum counting rule
needed no endorsement at the hand of
the Republican party and their action
in joining with the Democrats has pre-
vented its receiving the sanction of the
Democratic majority. 1t can not be
said that the Democracy per Sc adopted
this rule. even though it is in control of
the House, for the Republican votes
were necessary ia order to secure its
passage. Unless this is admitted the
claim of the Republicans that the
silver purchase clause of the Sherman
act was repealed by Republican votes
falls to the ground. The Democrats,
although largely in the majority, were
unable to pass, or failed to pass. either
bit of legislation. The Republicans
came to their aid in both cases and to
the Republicans who 80 assisted is due
the credit for their passage. Therefore
ii was no vindication of the so-called
Reed rules to have the present House
adopt them when Republican votes were
necessary to carry the vote.
The Republicans have been bam-
boozled into believing that the Democ-
racy was about to humiliate itself by
abandoning its opposition to the So
called Reedism and have walked right
up and taken the responsibility off the
Democratic shoulders on to their own,
and have opened wide the door for leg
islation hostile to the best interests of
the country simply to afford themselves
the qualification of saying to their
opponents "you backed down and are
trying the Reed rules yourself"
Had they stood on their dignity and
demanded that the Democratic House
assume the responsibility for all legisla-
ton, as they have done up 10 this time,
their action would have been consistent
and logical.
II is urged in excuse that as Reeds
rules were principles advocated and
adopted by the, Republican party the
vote Of that party should be cast in their
favor.
What nonsense.
This same argument applied to the
tariff would mean that the Republican
party should vote in favor of those Sec
tions of the Wilson bill that are of pro-
tective nature, because the Repub-
lican party believes in protec-
ton Such reasoning is absurd.
Now having furnished the Democrat
with the power to legislate just as they
please without a quorum of their own
party present, the Republicans must be
prepared to accept part of the responsi-
bility, for they made IL possible for such
legislation to be enacted.
