NO STATE STEAL IN Jersey.

The attempt of the Democrats in
New Jersey TO steal the control Of the
State on the fimsiest excuse possible
has just been rendered futile by the
decision Of the Supreme Court of that
State. The answer. to the legal points
raised by the Democrats this New
Jersey case becomes an important addi-
tion TO the legal decisions relating to
disputed legality of legislative bodies.
The court ruled first that il had juris-
diction In the case because decisions
whether the regulations of the consti-
tuition have been violated rests exclu-
sively with the judicial department of
the State. The point raised by
Attorney General Stockton that the
Senate was continuous body was
shown to be worthless, as the State SEN
ate, unlike the National Senate. does
not have continuous presiding officer,
and the State constitution fixes time
for the annual meeting of the Legisla-
ture, provision that would be super
fluous if the Senate was an ever
living body. The Republican position
was upheld in every particular, and the
claims of the Democracy were exposed
as shallow and unsubstantial. The
last desperate attempt of the
Democracy to keep New Jersey in the
Democratic column has proved futile,
and next fall will, without question,
see New Jersey safely landed in the
ranks of the Republican States. Demo
cratic robbery, pandering to the gamb-
ling element, and attempted revolution
have resulted in creating a disgust
among the people that can result only in
the sweeping from power of party
which has so outraged every principle
dear TO the hearts of the American
people.

mands this class Of reading. and il ii
were not for this public demand the
papers would not print the stuff.
There may be demand for it, and
there undoubtedly is, but that is no
reason why the desire should be graft
fed. III every whim and desire, no
matter how low or debasing, were
surrendered TO, the world would
in very short time realize the con-
ception of Dantes Inferno, and the ex-
cuse shows that the papers offering II
are willing TO prostitute their colu INNS
and carry pollution into the homes of
their readers in order to profit pecuni-
arily by the publication OF all this filth.
There is other news OF equal import
ance that never sees the light of day
because il is killed TO make room for
this vileness. 1t is not enterprise TO fill
column after column with this salacious
reading, but instead mere pandering
10 the lower sensuous craving on the
part OF certain class of readers that
is disgusting and disheartening to OBJ
serve.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

There seems TO be large sized differ
ence of opinion as 10 the value of reci-
procity among the Democrats aud their
allies and the effect that the proposed
abrogation of the treaties will have
upon the amended tariff bill. Congress
man Moses Stevens of Massachusetts,, the
only manufacturer on the Ways and
Means committee which prepared the
Wilson bill, when asked whether the
bill, as amended by the Senate, would
pass the House, replied that
it would not and the first reason as
signed for his belief was - to quote
his own words--"I do not think that the
Western members will consent to the
abrogation of the reciprocity agree
ments under which they have built mp
an extensive export trade, in order that
the Louisiana planters may have duty
upon sugar and the refiners have so
much protection"
Our morning contemporary, which is
probably better posted on the situation in
Washington than Mr.. Stevens, declares
that "whateyer other changes arc made
in the bill before it becomes law, this
clause [abrogating the reciprocity trea-
ties is sure to remain in it, as the
accepted plan of'obtaining revenue from
sugar, to say nothing of the demands
of influential Louisiana plant
ers' require it. We have. therefore,
come to the end of the reciprocity ex-
pertinent which was begun with the
enactment of the Mckinley law"
II is fortunate that the people Of Rhode
Island and the country have so good an
authority right at home to tell them
what not only is, but what is to be.

Democratic Candidates.
Pawtucket Times.

The result of the Democratic State conven-
ton held i'm Providence yesterday was no
surprise TO those who had kept in touch with
the politics of the State, and the renomina-
ting OF the old ticket in it's entirety was a
natural conclusion and In full keep
ing with the situation. Mr.. Heffer-
nan OF woonsockct made some pre-
tence at demurrer, but, as usual.
this was fully understood, and the able Woon-
socket attorney will in all probability consent
to accept the denomination for Secretary OF
State. The same course will probably be
pursued by Colonel Dalton r. Young Of New
port who has been renominated for the Lieu
tenant -Governorship against his expressed
wishes.
The makeup OF the Democratic State ticket,
as far as regards individuals, is a most excel
lent one, all the nominees being men Of high
standing in private and professional life, the
head OF the ticket, Hon. David s. Baker. Jr.,
being "a gentleman Of recognized ability as a
lawyer, and holding a high position in social
circles. II, therefore. is particularly sad To see
that such excellent men should be unavold-
ably condemned to defeat, owing TO the fact
that the country at large and the people of
Rhode Island in particular are most thorough
ly disguised with the principles as enunciated
by the Democratic platform. These gentle
men, unfortunately for themselves, represent
all that is opposed to the interests OF the
American workingman and the American
manufacturer.
Bitssl as the dose must be for them TO
swallow, these gentlemen might as we'll
realize at once that this is a Republican
year, and that the Republican State and
Legislative ticket will be elected by
handsome pluralitles. The wage-earners
are aroused and they can no longer be
deceived by spe, ious argument and tho deftly
turned phrases OF platform orators. An ex-
per fence Of privation is very bitter one, but
10 has taught lesson which cannot fail TO
bear wholesome fruit. Workingmen will vote
the Republican ticket.

A DISGUSTING EXHIBITION.

Public decency has rarely been more
outrageously violated than by the pub
lication in nearly every paper in the land
of the disgusting details in the Pollard
Breckenridge scandal, which is still
dragging its noisome, Shiny length along
through these bright spring days. Col
umns are given to the story of criminal
indulgence in lustful qualification simply
because one of the chief actors is noted
public man and a candidate for re-elec-
tion. On this fiimsy excuse the press of
the country with hardly an exception has
devoted columns TO this hideous story of
indecency. In her Tuesdays testimony
this woman, according to one account C.,
put her head down on her arms resting
on the rail of the witness box ard cried
like a child, while men in the courr room
cried with her. She had just sworn
that she gave her children away at the
command of her alleged seducer to
shield him from suspicion.
No doubt 1t was very pathetic, for even
such woman as this one has shown
herself to be must grow pathetic over
life so completely ruined by her own
wicked indulgence in Illicit passion, but
IL is outrageous that all this nastiness
should be forced into every home in the
laud. Miss Pollard can hardly COM
mand much sympathy when according
to her own testimony she was living as
one mans mistress, while being sup
ported 10y another and while engaged to
be married - third.
For years she has lived off tribute
levied from her "seducer' or victim, call
him what you may. Their relations
were notorious and while he was willing
TO support her she had no qualms of con-
science and no remorse. Her paramour
deserves no sympathy for he has proved
himself low-minded, contemplate
whelp, but it is pity that
these two low. bestial natures
should be allowed 10 drag into the glar-
ing light Of publicity the disgusting de-
tails Of one Of the lowest scandals ever
made public in the history of this coun-
try. Whether she made the first
approaches like the woman Of the town
she has since proved herself TO be by
nature according 20 her own testimony,
or whether she was really innocent and
ruined by Breokiuridge, matters little in
view Of the years Of their criminal inti-
macy and her disregard tor even the
decencies Of life.
Both are unfit for association with
reputable people and the story OF their
vileness is too debasing 10 be carried
into every home and read beside every
freside in the land.
II may be claimed in self justification

WILL HE VETO TT

The fact that Mr.. Cleveland sent word
to delegation of New Workers. who
proposed to visit him and protest against
his signing the Bland bill that they
might spare themselves the trouble, is
taken TO mean in certain quarters that
he has decided to veto the meas
ure. This would indeed be
good news if true, but by
just what process of deduction this con-
clusion was arrived at is not very clear.
IL unquestionably means that his mind
is made up and that no does not care to
discuss the question or listen to argu-
msnts, but TO infer from this that
he proposes TO veto the bill is
as absurd a deduction as
to have inferred that the
refusal of the Senate committee on
finance TO listen to either the manufac-
turers or the employees was capable of
the Interpretation that the committee
intended 60 grant the requests that these
bodies would have preferred.
TIE News hopes most sincerely that
Mr.. Cleveland will stop this infamous
attempt at imitation, and IL will award
most gladly TO him the credit that such
action would deserve IL he doe.

This Is n Republican Year.

Referring 10 the Democratic state ticket
the woonsocket Reporter says "Asthe peo-
plo declined to elect this ticket year ago,
with only State issues TO be considered by the
voters, IL Is not unreasonable 20 expect de-
clded population of II on Aprili. when Rhode
Island. as the first New England State, will
record its verdict on the Wilson bill.
'sThe platform adopted is the most gro.
tesque piece Of partisan literature ever
placed before an intelligent public. II
attempts 90 treat upon the tariff ques-
tlon, but merely reiterstcs the exploded
theory that free raw materials and An en-.
larged market Is what the country needs
thus rcpudiating in an indirect way the work
Of the Congressional tariff reformers who
have declined to put sundry raw materials on
the free list"
