of themselves and their families force
them into asking for relief in the shape
of charity. who infinitely prefer an OPP
portunity to earn money for the support
of their families.
There are cases where an absolute gift
is necessary and deserved, and these
cases will by no means be neglected or
refused, but In the vast majority OF
cases work is what is needed.
The city has improvements that must
soon be made. By the employment OF
the idle they can be made now with
advantage to the poor and to the city
and the action of the city council last
night in recognizing these facts will
find hearty commentator and support
from all good citizens. The good work
cannot be begun any too soon.

REJECTED AGAIN.
The Hornblower farce was re.ena

The Hornblower farce was re-enacted
yesterday with new scenery
and the latest stage effects. The
"would be" judge appeared in his ancient
and justly celebrated role of solicitor
of the senate, and the heavy Williams.
Hill ct ais, promptly deposited him in q
political grave.
Now that brick house has fallen on
Mr.. Hornblower he will probably realize
that he is not welcome guest at the
council fires of the Tammany braves.
He and his friends have twice
subjected himself to the indignity Of a
senatorial snub and it is hoped that they
will further forbear from toying with a
relentless and Democratic fate. Judges
of the supreme court are appointed by
the president with the advice and con-
sent OF Tammany aud the function of
neither can be disregarded.
Is Judge Maynard hungry?

OBJECT LESSONS.

The campaign of the coming fall will
be a campaign of education very differ
ent from that of '92. Then the free
trade theorists were expounding the
beauties of their doctrines and so
speciously did they word their appeals
that 1T was thought that land
flowing with milk and honey would be
reached by the free trade route. Next
fall the fruits of this teaching will have
become ripened. The campaign from
theories will pass on TO object lessons
and they have multiplied so
rapidly during the past few
months that there will be
no lack of examples. Closed mills, half
starved wives aud children, charity
cards, abandoned enterprises, broken
banks, and the wrecks of former sue
cessful business houses will rise up in
evidence against them.
II further campaign material should
be necessary tie tariff speeches Of the
Democratic leaders will supply the de-
mand.

WHY CONFIDENCE HAS NOT RE.

To show the present distrust Of capital
in the financial and business policy, or
lack OF policy, Of the Democracy the
statement of the New York banks fur.
ishes most astounding illustration.
The surplus reserve of idle money in
New York banks is SOC, 800, 000, and while
deposits increased $1,000. 900 last week
loans fell off. Think of 1t. All these mil
liens Of idle capital lying dormant be-
cause of the distrust that is prevalent
and the fear that the proposed policy
Of the Democratic party is TO be carried
out.
While hundreds of thousands Of work
men are idle and thousands are going
hungry, these millions that under ordn-
airy circumstances would be at work
keeping mills and factories running,
seeking investment in bonds and stocks,
starting new enterprises or enlarging
old ones are lying as useless as so much
old junk in bank vaults in New York.
Borrowers, OF the legitimate class are
few. Men who generally carry nun
drsds of thousands of outside capital in
their business have curtailed operations
and will not borrow at any price. Bunfs

THE Ex-QUEEN ON THE wARPATH

The ex-queen of the Hawaiian Islands
talks of assuming the role of an a1ven-
turess and blackmailing Uncle Sam in
revenge for her disappointment in not
getting back on to the throne and. in
cidentally, to acquire possession OF a
few thousand handy dollars.
Every tragedy has its comedy and
this is the funny end of the Hawaii dis
grace. Mrs. Dominis might bring suit
against the president for breach
Of contract and misplaced confidence,
but she must direct her operations
against him as an individual for he was
not a representative of this government
when he instituted his ill-starred policy
of restoration. The presiden. is only
an agent of the government when he
acts within his constitutional province.
If Mrs. d. wants satisfaction she must
go elsewhere for it.

WILLING IDLERS.

The professional labor agitator is in
his element during the business de-
preston. When he talks to empty
stomachs and shivering bodies his lurid
sophistry becomes trebly destructive
and the credulity and ignorance
of his prey, the unemployed. becomes
glaringly apparent. In Cincinnati re-
Gently band of workless, foodless and
clothingless victims of hard times
have dignified themselves by the
paradoxical title of Willing Workers.
They lacked the barest necessities of
life and were offered employment by
the city at 81 day. They wanted the
money and were willing and glad to get
it. But the walking delegate happened
along that way and told them tAat they
were low-spirited ours to work for sach
a sum. Better starve! And the Will
ing Workers elected to starve unless
their wages were raised.
There is no intelligent sympathy for
such destitution. The wise man takes
what he can get in times like these {;
the fool clamors for more. When
there is barely enough to so around
the lions share belongs to nobody,
If there ever is time when the hy-
pocrisy, the servility and the rascali.y
of the walking delegate shows forth in
its native colors, it is just such time

A MALICIOUS ATTACK.

A local paper yesterday morning
made an attack upon Senator Frye of
Maine in the following words Senator
Frye is still to the fore with laws, regu-
lations and sugg sstions relating to
American shipping. Some of tie poll
ticians of his size who lived in the past
almost killed American ship-building
and navigation, and he is bent on ex-
terminating what remains"
Senator Frye comes from a ship-build-
ing state and state whose ships sail on
every sea. Its merchant marine out
numbers that Of any other state, and
there is hardly port in the world where
Maine built vessel has not carried the
flag of the United States.
Senator Frye has represented the state
of Maine in the congress of the United
States for a generation, yet her ship
builders and ship-owners have never
discovered that he has been busily at
work destroying their interests and it
has remained for Rhode Island paper
to discover his hidden wicked
ness. All these years the ship owners
and ship of Maine have been
supporting Senator Frye for his supposed
loyalty to their interests. Democrats and
Republicans have repeatedly thanked
him for his efforts in behalf of the mer-
chant marine and memorial after me-
mortal has been submitted to him as
the advocate of the shipping industry.
The Journal, either through ignorance
or by willful perversion of the facts
grossly misstates the condition of the
American merchant marine. Our coast
wise marine, thanks to the efforts
of Senator Frye and others of the Maine
delegation in congress is second to
the merchant marine of no other nation
of the world, and but for the obstructive
policy Of the party whose continuation
in power the Journal advocates, our for
eign carrying trade would take equally
high rank. When England, France,
Germany and the other maritime nations
of the world are fostering and encourag-
ing their foreign carrying trade. the
Democracy of the United States has
opposed every proposition introduced by
Senator Frye and other supporters of the
American merchant marine looking to
similar encouragement on the part of
the United States.
The shipping interests of this nation
have repeatedly acknowledged their OBJ
legations to Senator Frye for his good
work. Strip from our national statute
books the laws proposed and carried to
successful conclusion by senators Frye
and Hale, by congressman Dingley, Reed,
Boutelle and Milhken Of Maine, and you
would have an emasculated skeleton
that would not be recognizable.
1t is not very becoming In Rhode
Island newspaper to sneer and jibe at
Senator Frye who has stood shoul-
der to shoulder with the congress
sional delegation from Rhode Island for
score Of years in behalf of the indus
tries of Rhode Island and especially
if newspaper which for the past few
years has been laboring night and day
and Sundays to destroy those industries
upon whose support its own existence

DEMOCRACY TO THE wORKMEN.

When thousands are idle, when long
lines of people who have never before
asked for charity are found day after
day seeking relief from the overseer of
the poor in this city, when the daily
papers are filled with reports of suf.
fering, starvation and want-just pause
and think what these words mean
right under our very eyes, when hund-
reds and hundreds of thousands through
out the country are working ON reduced
pay, Congressman Black, Cleveland's
former commissioner Of pensions, in the
national house of representatives de.
clares "if l were certain that wages
were higher here I would seek to repeal
those laws which make wages higher"
This is the sympathy of the Democ-
racy. A jibe at the workman when
starvation stares him in the face, and a
declaration so infamous that one can
hardly believe that an American could
have uttered it,
That is the kind of legislation that the
Democracy is aiming at. If it can sue
ceed in reducing American labor to the
level of the pauper labor of Europe
and it is rapidly doing tits mission
will have been accomplished.
Next fall the working men will have
an opportunity to try their hands at
legislation by the ballot and if they do
not make some wholesale reductions in
the wages of such representative as
Black then the signs are not right.
