which would destroy every industry
in Rhode Island or force the working
people to accept poorhouse fare and the
wages Of paupers. 1t has no desire
to dodge. 1t glories in its stand. 1t be-
lieves in honest money and it wants
the world TO know it. The Republican
party of Rhode Island accepts the issue
and goes before the people Of this State
confident that they will give their suf-
frages to the party which stands between
them and the ruinous competition of the
old world. This is the Republican
position aud it has no desire to dodge
o. equivocate. And its local issues
OF good government and honest
government are equally as much
gloried in, and there is no fear on the
part of the party that its position will
not be supported magnificently at the
polls by the grandest victory in years.

against brother and father against son,
in lanentable and perfectly avoidable
warfare. The conditions in Colorado
may be explained briefly. Some years
ago Denver applied to the legisla-
ture for a new charter which placed
the police, fire and public works depart
ments under commissions, appointed
by the Governor. This was to remove
them from politics. Governor Waite
has tried TO fill these boards with Popu-
lists. The board Of firs and police he
has changed repeatedly and his authority
being questioned by an appeal to the SUI
preme Court, it sustained the Gov
ernor in his action, and declared he could
remove for cause. He declared that the
two commissioners had violated their
trust by unlawfully placing special po-
licemen at gambling houses and he ap-
pointed two new commissioners. The
deposed members obtained fir m the
district court a temporary injunction
restraining the Governor, the Mayor and
the new members from taking possession.
Governor Waite refused to recognize
the injunction and ordered the State
troops out to take possession of the
city hall. The police force armed itself
with shot guns and Colts revolvers and
entrenched itself in the city hall. The
militia armed with repeating rifles and
Gatling guns are ready 10 attack, and
the excitement is at fever heat, with
the crowd sympathizing with the police
force. Governor Waite finally called
upon General McCook, commanding the
United States troops, for aid and he sent
600 Federal troops into the city, but
from the dispatches at hand it would
seem as il General McCook had respond
ed to the Governors appeal and then
taken sides with the chief of police, for
he telephoned the chief last night that
he would "assist him in keeping order"
The q vernon has ordered out the en-
tire State militia which will arrive to-
morrow and if the Governor orders an
attack at any time serious conflict is
inevitable. The details at hand are al
together too meagre to permit any opin-
ion of value to be rendered on the
merits of the case, but one thing is un-
questionably true, namely, that the
people OF Colorado are themselves to
blame by electing TO Office man of the
wild and visionary temperament of
Governor Waite, representing an ele-
ment that it is not best to put in con-
troll. The Populist craze will cost Colo
rado very dear before the end of Gov
ernor Waite's term.

WHAT WILL CLEVELAND DO!

Will Mr.. Cleveland veto, approve, or
allow the Bland bill to become law
without his signature. Those who
still have belief in his professions
insist that he will promptly veto
the iniquitous measure, sending it back
to Congress with a sound money veto
message that will shame both bodies.
Those who believe that he will sign the
bill,I base their belief on the ground
that as the measure has received the
approval of the Democratic majority in
both houses, and though he is himself
said to be opposed to the bill, yet he
will sign because it is party measure.
But there is much larger class than
either or both those previously named
who believe that he will cowardly dodge
the question by sitting back in solitary
grandeur and allowing the bill to become
a law without his signature, as he did in
1887 when the bill to redeem the trade
dollars became law by the pursuit of
just such tactics. 1t was believed up to
the expiration of the time allowed him
to reject the measure that he would veto
it, but instead he passed the
last few hours OF the time in
talking with a Congressman who
was vitally interested in having the bill
become law and who made round
score thousand dollars by Cleveland's
failure TO reject the bill.
Mr.. Cleveland may reject the bill and
in the interest of an honest currency
THE NEWS hopes that he will, but it
does not believe that he will
do so. The facts that the couu-
try's treasury is growing low again
and that another bond issue, similar to
the one recently issued, but not fully
taken up, would not be responded to, are
reasons why Mr.. Cleveland will avail
himself of the opportunity TO stink away
from his right to veto and allow the
measure to become law. Ii will give
him so much more currency to meet
present indebtedness and he cares
nothing about the honesty of the
currency or the cost TO the country
by such an issue Of pure fiat against an
already over-represented bullion and
against an absolute loss and not profit.
He may disappojnt those who believe
that he will pursue the last course indi-
Gated, but it is very doubtful.

NOW is THE TIME FOR WORK.

The Republican campaign in Rhode
Island has opened. A strong ticket has
been placed in the field and the platform
on which the party appeals for
the suffrages of the people
is such that it will commend itself to the
people who have the best interests of
the State at heart regardless of party.
There are many Democrats in this
State who will vote the. Republican
ticket this year, because they
wish to register their protest
against the attempt of the Southern
Democrats to get back at the North by
attacking and crippling Northern in
dustries. They realize that their own
party has unwisely started into war
fare against the best interests of the
nation, and they propose to cast their
vote against this determination. There
are hundreds of labor votes that have
hitherto been cast in support or as an
annex to the Democratic ticket, which
this year will be cast for the Republican
candidates because they cannot support
the party which, in the National Legis-
lature, is endeavoring to take away their
livelihood, or to reduce their wages
to the level of the underpaid help of
Europe.
These conditions all help the Repub-
lican ticket, but every Republican in
the State should realize that in addi-
ton it is necessary for every Republic
can vote to be cast in order that the
nation may see that Rhode Islands pro-
test against the destruction of her in
dustries means something. There has
not been campaign in score of years
when SO much of vital interest to the
State was at stake.
The time for work has arrived.

Mr.. Moody and The News.
The Home Guard.


Faith In printers ink may be weakness
that is inherited from ancestors who lived in
the good old days when newspapers told
"the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the TRUTH" but that people are much inclined
10 accept as truth what they see in print can
not be disputed.
Unprinciplcd editors sometimes take advan-
tago of this well-known credulity and use
their opportunity TO prejudice the minds Of
their readers against what ought to be highly
recommended. 1t is a strange inconsistency
that Christian people will continue to patron
ize journals that speak lightly of sacred
things, that slur and throw contempt upon
religious movements, that give whole pages
TO descriptions of slugging matches and
brutal prize fights. and confne the reports OF
great religious conventions and gatherings to
a few paragraphs.
We will admit that there are notable excep-
tlons During the Moody revival meetings in
this city. one of the daily papers, THE News.
reported Mr.. Moody's sermons verbatim, and
did justice TO the work in general. Some will
say that this was only business shrewdness
on the part Of the able management Of the
paper. Granted that 10 was business WISE"
il is none tho less commendable. Mr.. Moody's
efforts and all other wise Christian effort is to
turn lives in the right direction and if jour
nal is wise enough 10 understand the patent
truth that the newspaper IL largely dependent
on the Christian part of the community for
its support. and caters its columns for that
class Of people as we'll as non-church goers,
IL deserves commendation for turning the
minds of the general public In the right direc-
tion by giving wide publicity and hearty sup
port 20 everything that tends TO make men
wiser and better.

Rhode Islands lot TO give the first New Eng

phatic and conclusive declaration of the SEN

wreoking measure is especially aimed.
Inyears past the "tariif reform" press and
politicians have endeavored to wheedle the
voters OF Rhode 1sland with glittering PROM

contains no free coal and iron.
