PECULIAR FLOP.

The Newport News has gone over TO
Wetmore and we can do no better than
print the comment OF the Providence Tel
egram upon the peculiar flop. II says:
"The Wetmore ranks have an addition
to their number which i'll informed people
will regard as one OF weight. II Is really
to be regarded only as proof OF the
power OF money and local and personal
influence.
1.-THE regular support OF Mr.. Cleveland
for the Presidency is the Chief claim the
Newport Daily News can make TO prove
itself anything but a Republican paper.

II has believed In tariff reform, and since

certain Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives are inclined to 90, 1t throws
. up its hands, so to speak, goes back on
its own record and declares for George
Peabody Wetmore for United States Sena-
tor.
"Now, ifthe News has been sincere
tariff reform advocate all the time, why
does II come out for a man whose agents
say he is stiff protectionist? Such ac-
tion might sometimes excite suspicion?
"I: 1t believes IN Mr.. Cleveland and
thinks, as the wetmore people do, that
this fight is being made on national is
sues, why does 1t not stand by Cleveland
when be needs friends instead Of going
over to his sworn enemies2
"For a paper OF the pretentions to po.
litical virtue when the Newport News
has always made this turn about Is sur
prising thing. For tariff reform organ
to go over to the protectionsts at THIS
stage OF the proceedings isa wonderful
thing.

Congress did its duty, though perhaps a
little tardily, in the matter OF striving to
save the Kearsarge, by making an appro.
priation. The news that the steamship
Orion found that the wreck had been
stripped, set on fire, and burned to the
waters edge is not a surprise to those who
urged haste at the time that the expedi-
tion was proposed. To the Nicarsgusns
the hulk lying on the Roncador Reef was
a source OF Winter fuel and other things.
The fault OF the gallant ships loss does
not lie there.

Character OF Witnesses

WAsHISGToN, March e9-The surprise
OF the Pollard Breckinridge trial ysster-
day was the unexpected appearance Of
one OF Miss Pollard's old lovers, Rankin
Rossell, a Kentucky sohoolmaster. His
deposition had been read In the case. but
10 make his testimony doubly sure, the
exhance WAS introduced In person, ami
no sooner had be taken the stand, than
Madeline Pollard glided In for the first
time this week.
Most OF the testimony yesterday was In
the form of dispositions. aud much OF 1t
was of character which can only be pub
lishsd In expurgated form. Those
dispositions, regarding which Judge
Bradley had expressed his regrets that
they could not be excluded on general
principles, re reoited, and the 1ustifiea-
tion for the scathing comments on them
was self-evident some Of the language
employed by Hiram Kaufman, q Lexing-
ton butcher and John Brandt. q Janitor
from the same place, would hardly be
tolerated in a well regulated barroom.
These gentlemen admitted in "A matter
of-fact way their tendencies toward
habitual drunkenness and marital inf
deity, and the court admitted their state
msnts unexpurgatsd, as ne remarked in
conversation that the jury might judge Of
the character of the witnesses.
Colonel Brsckinridge's private secretary
was one witness OF the day, and another
WAS Colonel Hay, an expert on penman-
ship, who was subjected to further cross
examination upon the principles employed
in detecting forgeries under the sug-
gestion of another expert, who sat at
Attorney Wilson's elbow.
From the addition OF this new expert
into the case IL looks as though a hard
fight had been precipitatsd over the
authenticity Of that black bordered letter.
The case of the defense will draw to
close, with the appearance Of Colonel
Breckinridge, whose testimony is ex-
pected To occupy at least three days. as
long a time as Madeline Pollard was on
the stand.
Then there will be rebuttal for an in
definite length, as Miss Pollard will take
the stand again. and witnesses have been
summoned from Kent-sL-.

WHAT DO YOU THlNk7

What do the voters OF Pswtucket think
OF the situstion2 We have been cheated
out OF the State government for year.
Nobody has done much weeping, as We
know, but the people have done some
thinking.
II lisa fair matter to speak OF among
ourselves. What do the constitution and
the laws amount TO ifa Governor can
perpetrate himself In power for an indef-
mite periodG
Any Governor who desires to do so can
"prorogue" the Assembly at will and We
can stand by and laugh or cry, like fools.
