Who Did the sstealing?"
Westerly Sun.


During the past 10 months Rhode Island
Democrats and their sympathizers have told
over and over again how the Republicans
"sto'e" from them the State Government last
May, ana now Mr.. Baker, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is repeating the same
tale, just as though he believed 1t. Let's SEQ
for minute who did, or who ATTEMPTED TO
do. the stealing"
When the General Assembly met at New
port on the last Tuesday in May, 1898. every
member was PRESENT, 100 In all. The House
had Democratic majority. and the Senate a
Republican majority; and had those two
bodies come together in the capacity of a
Grand Committe with the members
occupying the places guaranteed to
them by the constitution and the law, that
Grand Committee would have consisted OF 80
Republicans and "a Democrats, a division
which would have insured the election Of
Republican state officers. The Republicans,
therefore. had no motive for stealing" any
thing; they already possessed what they de-
sired
With the Democrats, however, the condi-
tioa was different. They wanted the state
Offices. and the only way to obtain them was
to so change the membership of the branch of
the General Assembly which they
controlled SO as To change the political
complexion OF tho Grand Committee.
That they did by unseating William Hoxse.
of Westerly, and By unseating John b. Lam
ders OF Jamestown and putting into his place
Democrat who has never been elected
BY this hocus-pocus arrangement,
they hoped to make the Grand Com
mittee stand 81 Democrats TO So

1t requires no argument TO prove who did the

had any motive for stealing" anything. and
the subsequent events proved that one party.
and only one Party. attempted to "steal" any
thing. The reason the attempt was a failure
was because the Republican Senate deter
mined that it would not be party 10 any
scheme to 'steal" the constitutional
rights of the people; and having
reached that determination, after deliberate
| consideration OF the whole case. the Senate
| has stood right there. and stands there today.
Had the Senate done the Democratic
leaders expected, it would have admitted
the right of any party, when in

The News and Its +" Coupons"

Mr.. Charles III. Rowland OF the Providence,
X. l., DAILY NEWS tells an interesting story
about three young men who at ono time pur-
chased bankrupt newspaper and determined
TO establish themselves as successful pub
fishers. The old-time method of waiting n
year or two TO let people acquaint themselves
with the paper under new management could
not be pursued because the necessary capital
to carry the paper was not at command. The
most available plan that presented itself APP
peared to be the "coupon business" The
paper had plenty of space to spare, in fact, in
excess of all requirements and the editor saw
that catchy" coupon offers would I'LL the
space II nothing more. The growth in c!rcu-
lation that was built up by the use of the
coupon scheme was an unnatural one, but Dy IL
the paper was circulated and when IL was once
fairly on the market. so TO speak, its merits as
a newspaper were tested. AS IL was not IN
ferior to contemporary newspapers, some OF
the people who had purchased 1t for the
coupons became regular subscribers. As the
return OF coupons diminished the space allotted
the coupon advertisements was decreased.
Through the increasing subscription list ad-
vertisements came 10 replace the coupon
announcements. Mr.. Howiand thinks that
the success OF the paper referred TO Is not
exceptional. The times are progressive. and
the successful paper OF today Is the one that
devises some new scheme by which public
recognition can be obtained. The coupon
business answered the purpose in this case,
but II Is no longer novel, and the question now
is "What next?"

BoATNER HOPES TO PASS
ANTI-ANARCHIST BILL.
Considerable Discussion In the House
Over the Pooling Bill Measure to Pro-
tcct Forest Reservations General News
from the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.--Thc effort to
prevent anarchists from coming to the
United States will be resumed in the
house of representatives next week IL
Mr.. Boatner of Louisiana, in charge of
the measure, secures from Speaker
Crisp the time he expects This meas
ure provoked an exciting contest at
the close of the last session, but its
final passage was cut off by adjourn
ment. At that time the government
had received official notification from
France that large number of an
archists driven out of Europe
were enroute to the United States.
Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle were
specially anxious to secure legislation
in order to cut off the influx of dang
erous characters. Senator Hill pushed
the anti-anarchist bill through the
senate, but it met opposition from
Messrs. Warner of New York, Goldzier
of Illinois and others i'm the house, and
had to be abandoned for the time be-
ing. Mr.. Boatner will now take up
the contest where it was left off. and
is hopeful of scuring the passage of
the exclusion bill before the holidays.
AS it has already passed the
senate, favorable action by the
house will conclude the legislation.
Representative Warner of New York
says the necessity for the measure has
evidently gone by. There was no sng-
gcstion in Secretary Ca rlislc's report
said Mr.. Warner, las to the need of
such bill. There was much ado at
the last session over anarchists about
10 land, and il was declared the
country was in peril. But what has
become of these anarchists? They
must have been drowned en-
route No one has heard Of
them. 1t is a singular fact that the
men who urge this measure live in the
interior far from ports where anarch-
lists might be feared The New York
newspapers, located ut the place where
anarchists would be most likely to ar
rive do not believe i'm the bill.
Mr.. Warmers objection to the bill
last session was that it did not define
anarchists, but gave government Off
cials a dangerous authority to call any
one an anarchist and then deport him.
