WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
The Only Issue.

In very short time Rhode Island will be in
the heat of n stirring political campaign and
the Congressional candidates of both parties
VIII be struggling for supremacy. 1t is yet n
matter OF uncertainty as to who
these candidates will DO and this is
matter entirely unnecessary TO dis
cuss until the Congressional District
Conventions have been held. But the real
question at issue at the present time is not the
men, but the principle involved, and this is a
subject that the electors of Rhode Island, and
particularly those OF the Second District.
should study with great care and diligence
The Republican party may be depended upon
to nominate good men; the people must do the
rest at the ballot box.
The real issue OF the hour, and the only
issue. Is protection, and this is the one fact
that the wage-earners of the country should
bear In mind. Protection was what carried
the elections in Vermont and Maine,
and protection Is what should elect
in the State of New York thirty-four
members of the House of Representa- tives
who will be called upon to deal directly with
the tariff when they take their seats at WASH
ington. National and State issues must 60
together. Leading and outweighing every
other questions is the issue of protection TO
every American citizen, and the
voters of Rhode Island will without
doubt follow in the footsteps OF their
friends in Vermont and Maine. The only
hope OF the American wage-earner is in pro-
lection, and IL is therefore his duty to him.
self to vote for the candidates OF the Republi-
can party.
Let every workingman understand that
in voting for the Republican candidates ho
is voting TO restore the prosperity which
Cleyelandism has snitten down and to build
up tho fabric of American wages. industry
and independence which Democratic traitors
at Washington have assailed and wrecked.
The issue of Protection has in IL the power TO
restore American industries to their old-time
Protection Is the only issue.

BACKED BY The CHIEF.

For some time there has been little un-
easiness among portion of the members
OF Hook and Ladder, No. 2, on Harrison
street, and the members have made
an effort to have Captain Frank
II. Atkinson removed or transferred.
Numerous petitions have been signed
by portion of the residents in that
vicinity, which has been presented to
Chief George A. Steere, who has looked
into the matter thoroughly and has given
the committee on fire department
oil the facts, which are that
the captain simply makes the men
live up TO the rules OF the department,
and captains of other companies do not.
The chief says that this has been the
cause OF all the trouble, and that il the
men who feel aggrieved do not care to
obey the orders Of the captain others will.
The most serious cause of their
trouble was that the captain would
not allow his men to leave the
house without his permission. An
other was that he would not allow
them TO enter the other parts OF the
building which contained pieces of fire
apparatus. MIR. Atkinson has the ap-
prevail OF the chief and the committee,
and IL may possibly lead to have ali
of the rules and regulations OF
the department carried out more explicitly
in all OF the houses, and IL such is the fact,
the few malcontents in the company OF
Hook and Ladder No. 2, will not add any
friends to their list.

A PARITY OF PUNISHMENT.

The editor of the New York Recorder
wants TO know if we shall ever approach
any sort of logicali harmonizing of the
penal codes that prevail in our different
States and make together such a varie-
| gated patch work of criminal law.
THE News has called attention to
several phases of these inequalities from
time TO time "a well as Of
laws not criminal. The necessity
FOR national divorce law is one which
is far more pressing than is popularity
supposed. A national bankruptcy y law,
giving justice both to the creditor and
to the debtor, and giving the creditor in
Massachusetts, thS same rights that
would accrue under Rhode Island laws,
is imperatively needed. When the vast
ness and the multiplicity Of our business
enterprises are considered and when it
is remembered how freely business is
carried on between the states 1t does
not seem as though there could be
the slightest reason for hesitation about
the enactment of just bankruptcy law.
Yet for years and years business organ
izations have tried in vain to secure
such law. And, as the editor of The Re-
corder points out in relation to criminal
law, the death penalty, though it is not
exacted in all the states for murder of
the foulest type. is in force in many Of
theE for such crimes as arson, may
hem, rape, perjury, burglary,
and robbery. Two men are at this very
time in prison in North Carolina to be
hanged next month for the crime of
breaking and entering house with in
tent to commit robbery.
Missouri hangs q man who gives false
testimony on oath, provided that the
testimony he gives is intended to con-
vict an innocent person of a capital
crime.
In Delaware, however, perjury Of any
kind is punishable only with a fine not
exceeding $1,000. Forgery carries with
1T the possibility of life imprisonment in
New York, while Delaware's maximum
sentence is three years. Georgia hangs
people for mayhem, while in Colorado
three years in Jail is the maximum
limit.
II national laws governing such |
crimes or conditions may be considered |
as an invasion of State rights there
should at least be no reason why the
legislators of score of states should
not begin at once and reform these pen
llties so that there may be some ap-
iroach TO parity Of punishment in the
United States. 1t is reform that is
demanded.

THE News trusts that its esteemed but
oyer-hasty contemporary, The Journal,
may now and then suffer twinge Of
conscience for permitting itself 10 be
pulled into an attack on its fellow citi-
zen, Postmaster GEORGE, on no better
grounds than the irresponsible utter
ances of Western politician by the
name Of JONES, who chances to be acting
postmaster-ge But that is the
distinguishing characteristic of mug
wumpery-to be always ready to believe
anything that reflects on your own
neighbors.

excuse. but hemust remember that there
Is something more required OF n man
before he can he classed or callad Repub-
licsn than mere denunciation of the
Democratic party.
He must believe in and stand by Re-
publican principles. It is well enough
to find fault with the Democracy but
Mr.. LUCE must not expect that the Re-
publicans are going 10 fall over them
selves 10 welcome him for doing what
the majority of Democrats are doing
today.
He does not avow his alliance TO the
principles of the Republican party, but
says that he should vote after this with
that party. He believes in tariff reform,
not protection. In short, he is Cleveland
Democrat betrayed and abandoned by
his leaders, and he merely seeks to find II
resting place to kick at the fellows who
deceived him.
A ''tariff reformer' of the Cleveland
stripe is an absurdity in Republican
ranks. He is ont of place. He is vot-
ing the Republican ticket. not because
he believes in Republicanism, for he
expressly states that he does
not, but simply to punish the
leaders of the Democracy. The
Republican party stands with open arms
to receive all Democrats who have rec
ognized the error of their ways and who
accept the doctrine Of the Republican
party, but it does not care to shelter and
aid man who in announcing that he has
'joned the Republican party" declares his
disapproval of its principles and admits
that he joins it merely to administer "a
chastisement to negligent aud traitorous
leaders. Such an accession is
by no means desirable one, and
unless Mr.. LUCE was prepared TO
accept the doctrines of the party he de-
clares he has joined, he should not seek
refuge under its flag. None but those
who can stand under the protectionist
colors first, last and all the time deserve
the name of Republicans.

SUPPORTED BY AGiTATORS.

The committee on parks held n public
hearing in the municipal court room last
evening on the subject Of giving the resi-
dents OF the city needing employment the
preference on all public work. sydney A.
Sherman, secretary of the Union for
Practical Progress, under whose conduct
the meeting was, brought forward
resolutions favorable to the employment OF
home labor and a number OF speakers ex-
pressed their views on the subject. Seve-
raj labor sgitators were present and after
the sober minded had spoken they fn-
ished the meeting by charging the city
government with wastefullness and neg
lcct of the workingman. What might
otherwise have been a successful meeting
was thus spoiled.
