The success Of the WessoG Cotton
and Woolen Mills located at Wesson'
Lincoln county Mississippi, for over q
quarter Of a century, is an object les
son, that should have been followed by
other towns and localities in the State.
These mills have not only created
wealth for the owners. but they have
built up one Of the most prosperous
towns in the State, and more than
these, they have established the fact,
that manufacturing cotton and wool
in the State accomplishes that ss'ae qua
non, by which everything in these days
of pelf is measured-it pays. The
goods from these Mississippi Mills are
known and sold in every center OF COM
merce in the United States, from New
York to Sanfrancisco. With the sue
cess of this great industrial output,
the wonder is, that they have not been
duplicated in a half dozen other places
in the State. Men who have capital
are on the hunt for business and places
for investment, and have passed around
these interesting lessons of practical
success, as though all the brains and
money lying along this line of enter
prize had been exhausted in this
solitary effort. II is fair reasoning to
say, that if the Wesson Mills have
rot with such great success, others to
at least a limited extent elsewhere,
with similar conditions surrounding
would be followed with the same
results. Now when there is an enquiry
for some other business besides farm"
ing we take occasion to call tho atten-
tion OF those who have enterprise and
money to the splendid example OF the
Wesson Cotton and Woolen Mills.
A synopsis OF President Cleveland's
message, which is the longest he has
ever written, and OF less intrinsic
value, as an exposition OF our resources
as a nation, will be found in this issue.
The most OF it is review of the sub
ordinate officers of the Cabinet. He
gives us, the pleasant assurance that
the United States is at peace with all
the world, leaving the financial. mat
ters Of the country without any new
light which was so generally expected,
and SO anxiously desired. On the
WHOLE. the message will 60 down TO
history as commonplace, rather than
the wise emenation of great states
man and great President.

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.

1t looks as though the United States
would have to stand on its dignity and
protect the seals in the Bering Sea alone
this year, if the utterance of the Cam
adian leader, Sir John Thompson, in
the House of Commons can be
taken es an expression of English inten-
ton. He declared that the modus
vivendi expired when the decision of
the Paris tribunal was rendered, and that
the Paris tribunals decision was value
less until enacted by Great Britain into
astatutory law. In other words England
had played bluff game and the Cam
adian poachers were to be given license
to steal. Uncle Sam intends to
live up honorably to his agreements,
and yet he does not propose
to be bullyragged by Great
Britain. The assignment of Rear Ad-
miral Walker to the Pacific Squadron at
this time is very significant. England's
double-dealing and trickery will not be
tolerated by the United States.

MONEY NOT PRINCIPLES NOW.

The report comes from Washington
on what is considered good and nom
partisan authority that the Democratic
members of the finance committee have
been assured of the Presidents co-opera-
tion in having the tariff bill become
law, as he has expressed his approval of
the bill as a whole.
Mr.. Cleveland, in the course OF con-
versation with member of the COM
mittee, took occasion to say that he
hoped it would pass and that there would
be as little delay as possible in getting
it through the Senate.
In regard TO the income tax and the
sugar duty this member of the
committee is the authority for
the statement that the President
spoke in a not unfriendly way of these
two items, not 50 much with refer
ence to the principles involved in the
provisions, as Of the fact that they
would assure a sufficient revenue for
the necessities Of the Government"
In other words principles have been
abandoned in the mad scramble to ex-
tort, in some way, money enough out Of
the people to fill the hole caused by bad
Democratic financiering and legislation.

who is an invalid as well, has been
made, according to The Journal, "beside
himself with grief" as may well
be believed, although he did not
"fully appreciate the enormity Of the
hints and half accusations which, II
true (save the markD involved him in
terrible crime" This morning
The Journal naively remarks that
"there is hard talk about the person
who started the rumor." We should
think so. Hints and half accusations"
are poor stuff on which TO base an i'm
piled charge of murder in the public
press.
The other day The Journal and Tele-
gram indulged themselves in fights Of

the Atwell's Avenue fire station. AS
a matter Of fact no such fight occurred.
The report was the only thing in con-
nection with the affair that was brutal.

THE VILLAGES TELL THE STORY.

Even in the little villages and ham
lets in Maine and other States the strong
determination of the people to overthrow
Democratic misrule is shown this year.
The towns of Wells and Eliot, in Maine,
have always been Democratic strong
holds. In all the years that Tom Reed has
been elected to Congress from the First
Congressional District of Maine which
embraces these two towns, they have
sturdily clung to the Democratic party.
But the people have seen the danger of
Democratic supremacy. One year of
Democracy has taught lesson never to
be forgotten, and the people are refus-
ing TO countenance the Democratic ad-
ministration even in so slight a degree
as in town election where
victory might be considered
an endorsement of its national
policy. The town of Wells last year
gave 100 Democratic majority. This
year the figures are reversed. And Eliot
followed suit with big Republican gains.
1t will prove so in Rhode Island for
here the national issues mean even more
to the people than in the old Pine Tree
State. Rhode Island is absolutely
dependent upon her manufacturing in
dustries which have been so outrage
ously attacked by the Southern mem
bers of Congress in their sec
tional measure. The Democracy has
deliberately set to work TO destroy New
England industries. The events of
the last year show how successful
they have been so far. IL
the Infamous Wilson bill, as amended
by the Senate, becomes law il will be
three years before it can be changed,
andt for three years longer must the
people Of Rhode Island continue to suf-
fer what they have endured, during the
past year. Hard wages and low wages,
or no wages, will continue during all
that time.
The question before the people at the
present election in this State is "Shall
we give our enforcement 10 the party
that has brought about this condition Of
affairsg
II is vital question and Rhode Island
viii treat it as such and give the Repub-
lican party the grandest victory it has
ever received in this State.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
The Arithmetic Of Protection.
nroas


Census statistics recently published show
that during the 10 years ending with 1890
the wealth of the United States increased
nearly s2300O,000,00 This increase
alone is about forty per cent. greater than
the total wealth of the country in 1860
1t is three times greater than the total wealth
OF the country IN 1850. During the 20 years
intervening between 1870 and 1890 the wealth
of the nation more than doubled. the valua-
tion OF all tangible property at the close of
1890 being over s65,Oo0,U0O,0c0, an average OF
$1,000 for every man, woman and child. What
n baselesss falsehood it is therefore, TO
assert that n commercial and industrial
policy. under which such gigantic strides
in prosperity were possible, is dwarfing the
energies of the Republic ! The policy that
threatens to arrest the continued develop
ment OF the United States is that EN- bodied in
the Wilson bill, which would reverse all the
essential conditions under which the country
has achieved material greatness.

Running Through the Park Extension
VIII Make a Picturesque Driveway.
The plans for the new avenue, to be laid
out mainly in the annexed territory to
Roger Williams Park, as executed by the
City Engineer, will afford one Of the most
picturesque and attractive driveways in the
popular resort. 1t will extend some little
distance from the Broad street entrance
by circuitous route to Park avenue, q
distance OF 2h miles with a width of 60
feet, and traverses the beautiful environs
OF Cunlin's Pond. The Board of Aldermen
will undou btedly concur in the resolution
appropriating 100000 for the construc-
tion OF the avenue and the excavation
OF the pond 30 as to Sc
cure a uniform depth and supply IL with
a sandy bottom. 1t will be connected with
Crystal Lake, and the feet of launches
will be augmented SO as to penetrate
the delightful spot, interpreted
with miniature Islands and ma
ative woodland sscenery. The New
Bedford city officials who visited the
park yesterday were enthusiastic in praise
OF its beauty and and attractiveness, and
they obtained valuable suggestions rs to
the utilization Of some 800 acres which
that city has acquired for park purposes.
