WILSON'S APPEAL.

Mr.. Wilson must have been desper-
ately excited yesterday when he closed
the debate upon his bill. Otherwise he
would not have called upon the House
"in the name of nonor" to support the
iniquitous measure.
All legislators have their eccentrici-
ties and emotional ebullitions, but this
heartrending appeal of the professor Sin
the name of honor" transcends any
thing yet heard in the halls of Congress-
How many pairs of eyes wanted to
fill with tears when this touching
supplication flew from seat TO seat, seek
ing a lodgment in the hearts of the Oh
durate skeptics nobody can tell. For the
moment Mr.. Wilson doubtless
imagined himself national
Moses on whose unerring guidance
the fate of the nation hung
trembling. Scorn and reproach must
have permeated his breast when he
looked upon the invulnerable Republic
cans and the handful of sensible Demo.
Gratis who awaited with ill-concealed
eagerness an opportunity to strike a
blow at the national "honor."
Mr.. Wilson should furnish a chart
with all future speeches. lie should
not ak about national honor without
showing how that honor~is involved.
His frenzied appeal for "me cheeild"
will 90 down in history as the unin-
spired vaporing of court jester and
may be successfully prescribed in home
opathic doses for hypochondria aud other
forms OF melancholia.

Coaches In Frances

As regards the history of coaches in
France, Henry Nv was assassinated in
1910. Soon after his death some engrav
ings were published representing him be
ing murdered in his carriage by Ravaillac.
IL is from these that Roubo has had the
sketches of the three carriages on his plate
172 engraved.
They are simply square boxes, measur-
ing by scale q feet in length by ga feet in
width, on four wheels of the same diam
eter, without any springs or straps and
seating six persons in all-namely, two
with their backs 10 the horses, two facing
them and two more, one on each side of
the two "boots' at the side. Each vehicle
had roof resting on light columns and
curtains to draw or TO let down.
This agrees well with the received ac-
counts of the incident, according to one
version of which Henry rode in an open
carriage, and according to another that as
soon as the fatal blow was delivered by
the assassin the kings attendants, who
rode with him in the carriage, drew the
curtains, and hiding the king from public
view assured the enraged people that he
was only wounded. Notes and Queries.

the State would have exerted the same
influence.
Congressman Lapham-he is really in
Washington it appears from his vote
voted for the bill and against the inter-
ests of his State. Congressman Page
voted against the bill. If his action
was the result of his convictions
all honor is due him that he
manfully stood out against the
measure that has paralyzed the indus
tries of our State, stopped the looms
and shuttles and reduced the wages of
our mill workers.
If on the other hand, as there is some
ground to suspect. the two Rhode Island
members went off in a corner and tossed
up cent to see which should take
the off side it is not so creditable.
But whatever motives may have ami
mated our two Congressman, the sad
fact remains that we were practically
unrepresented yesterday when Rhode
Island was asked to respond to the roll
call and pronounce her judgment on
this infamous bill.

what an Engineer Does In Danger.

We are making a mile minute. What
would the driver do IL he saw before him
a burning bridge or the red lights of a
standing train? His left hand is on the
throttle. He would close IL. Almost In
the same second his right hand would
grasp the sand lever, aud with his left he
would apply the brakes. With both hands
in about the third second he would reverse
the engine. Perhaps he has heard that
old story that to reverse locomotive Is to
increase her speed-that bird will fly
faster with folded wings. He may pretend
to believe il, but he will reverse her just
the same. II she has room, she will stop.
Even without the aid of the airbrake she
will stop the train II the rail holds ont.
ought TO say that the instant he reverses
the engine lac will kick the cylinder cocks
open; otherwise he may blow OIL steam
chest or cylinder head. -McCluro's

PROUD OF TOM REED.

New England is proud of Tom Reed,
proud Of his eloquence, his ability, his
firmness and his loyalty to the principles
of the Republican party; proud of the
magnificent speech that he made yes
terday OH the tariff question, for its
mastery arguments are destined to go
down into history as part of the grand
est contribution to the literature of pro-
lection that has ever been made
in the Congress of the United
States they will be the theme of pro-
tectionist writers and orators for years
to come aud furnish a bulwark that the
free trade theorists will try in vain to
break down.
Those who have regarded Reed simply
as wit, a satirist, jeerer and a
scoffer, have been ignorant of the real
man. A close student, "a pro-
found thinker, man of brains
and force Of character he has
in addition TO an irrepressible
battery of rapid firing guns, broadsde
of heavy artillery that can be called
upon in time of need.
The natural leader of men, he attacks
his enemy on all sides at once with the
sharpness of his wit, his ceaseless firing
of pointed arguments, and caustic jibes,
but when occasion demands he can re-
sort to his heavier batteries.
In the fight of yesterday the serious
ness of the occasion left no room for the
smaller arms. His solid, invincible
arguments went forth from his lips in
such steady stream that his opponents
stood aghast and wondered what they
could bring to bear to oppose the crush
ing force of the constant fire.
He attacked the Notifications of his OPP
ponents, aud bit by bit the opposing walls
fell before his convincing logic. Turning
his attention to England, the model of
the free trade theorist. he pointed out
the fallacy of the arguments based upon
an English standard.
England, when she became free trade,
was workshop wherein was manufac-
tured the raw material of the rest of the
world. OF raw material she herself had
none"
Was there need to say more? Was
not the ground covered in that one state
ment? What further room for com
parison was there left?
New England is proud OF Tom Reed,
and will have further use for him in '96.

Poets who Publish Their Poems.

The pathos or really tear starting part
of the copyright records relates to poetry.
There are more books of poems in the Ma
tional library than the most careful and
diligent student of American literature
can imagine, End the sad thing about it Is
that by all odds the greatest number Of
these books are published by the authors
themselves. In every other class of litera-
ture the copyrighted publications are most
ly by large publishing houses, and the
writers appear to have more or less the
support of the reading public, but the
poor poet, who appears to be the most per-
sistent of all producers, seems to have to
feed upon his own fancies and pay his own
bills. BE the publishers as discriminat
ing as they may, the copyright law has no
favorites and permits all who produce TO
claim the right of exclusive publication,
and in the congressional library the vol
umes of the poetasters stand proudly by
the side of the works of genius. Thou
sands of volumes of Poems, published by
the author" stand upon the shelves, and
it is a revelation how many men and WON
en-, who would not attempt to write in
prose, think that their wild fancies in a
regular rhyme and stilted meter are worth
preserving in print for posterity. In this
class is found the very poorest example Of
literary effort. The number of produc-
tions of truly good poetry In this country
is, however, increasing with considerable
rapidity Washington Star.

THE BILL PASSED.

AS was TO have been expected the
House yesterday passed the Wilson bill,
income tax rider and all. No one is
surprised at its passage, for it was prac-
tically impossible, with so great DEM
ocratic majority, for any other result to
be obtained. But the Wilson bill has
only begun its voyage, and has tra-
versed the easiest portion of its journey.
1t has had comparatively plain sailing
so far. but when IL reaches the Senate
it VIII find itself in the breakers,
and there are many who believe
that it will never secure pilotage from
the Senate finance committee. The
Senate is very nearly evenly divided ON
party lines, and consequently the
chances for its defeat are very much
brighter IN that body. There are a
number Of Democratic Senators who are
not at all Ia sympathy with the patch

Wilson aud who arc vigorously opposed

by so crushing a defeat that years
will elapse before it can again Sc
cure ascendancy in National affairs.
1t is hardly in the nature OF things that
they will consent to take part in such
legislation. The bill will go to the Sem
ate and be promptly referred to the
Senate finance committee.
1t is doubtful if il ever emerges from
that committee which has its own ideas
on the tariff question, and, as its chair
man has frequently remarked during
the debate on the Wilson bill, the Senate
finance committee has before now
constructed tariff bill and can do so
again.
Thus it will be seen that the final
disposition of the tariff question is but
little nearer at hand than it was ten
months ago.
The House. by the preparation of such
measure as that which obtained its
approval yesterday has kept the country
in state of uncertainty and suspense
for months and bids fair to continue
that suspense indefinitely while the
Senate tries its hand at a bill.
There is one consolation, however.
The Senate, no matter what sort of a
tariff bill it devises, can not produce
any measure more at enmity to the in
dustries and the interests of the country
han that which received the sanction Of
the Democratic House yesterday.

CONCERNING NAMES.

When one Smith of Georgia was
given a cabinet plum last spring Mr..
Cleveland imagined that he had discover
ed a new principle in the art of successful
appointments. There was chance in the
rhythmic front name of Smith that
called forth the encomiums of the
Democratic press and led the misguided
President to apprehend that
craftsmanship and inconceivable
names were intimately allied.
Acting upon the supposed hint Mr..
Cleveland secured the nation in search
of cognominal monstrosities. His search
has been rewarded by rich and varied
collection, with the aid of DIR.
Dana), but the subsequent results
have not justified the President in his
theory that an odd name is tantamount
to Senatorial confirmation. Here are
some Of Mr.. Cleveland's attempts In this
line with their results
Hornblower-Sat upon. Hard.
Moonlight--In statu quo.
Hon. Dink Botts--Nothing.
Hon. Pod Dismuke-Not a thing.
Hoke Smith of Georgia-Went through
because Senate had no jurisdiction in
the matter.
The result should teach Mr.. Cleveland
that craftsmanship and patronimic COM
edies are entirely incompatible and are
dangerous expedients.

THE MESSAGE AND THE JOURNAL

THE NEWS esteemed but cynical con-
temporary, the Journal, was recently
aroused from its meditations upon Afri-
can and Asiatic matters to considera-
tion of estate affairs by the arrival of
the Governors message. The able doc
nment appears to have excited in our
contemporary that chronic malaria
which blinds its eyes to everything good
that may emanate from citizen of
this State. The Journals principal
objection to the Governors message is
that it is padded" although we are
informed that this is fault percep-
tible in the messages of the President
and other executives of the land. We
are further let into the secret that ''pad-
ding is habit of experienced space
writer's for newspapers. This revelation
probably explains the pillow-like effects
which characterize the Journals editor
ial columns.
OF the Governors recommendations
the one in regard to the State Board of
Arbitration has the most disastrous ef-
feet upon the emotions of the Journal,
so much so that it is at once dismissed
as a thoroughly discredited aud ex-
ploded idea" Now. while The
News is not prepared to en-
dorse the executive proposition
for an official board of arbitration, be-
lieving that voluntary system like that
which recently accomplished such good
work in Olneyville will procure al the
advantages without the drawbacks, yet
it must make objection to the Journals
half-cock denunciation of the PROPOSE
tion. If the free and easy writers who
fill the Journals editorial columns will
turn to their encyclopedias and collec-
tion of newspaper clippings they will
find that this plan of settling labor dis
putes was recommended by the most
recent report upon labor questions. that
of the Royal Commission on Strikes of
New South Wales. They may also
find that New York, Massachusetts,,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and other substan-
tial industrial States have in practical
operation arbitration acts which have
done some good work in the settlement
of unnecessary disputes. Moreover the
States of Massachusetts, and New York
are yearly adding to the authority of
their boards rather than weakening
them. The question is neither dis.
credited nor exploded" but is des-
tined to occupy most prominent place
in the discussion of solutions of the in
dustrial problems.

Figures Taken From Report of Conn
missioner Of Industrial statistics.
The most interesting portion of the re-
port of the commissioner of industrial
statistics, Hon. Henry f. Tiepke. sub
mitted 60 the General Assembly yes
terday, is that In relation TO organized
labor in the State. A complete census of
the labor organizations of the State
has been taken, of which the
following summary may be given.
Trade Unions in Providence have MEN,
bership of 279S, in Pawtucket 805, i'm New
port 40, in Westerly 510, in Woonsocket,
les, total for State 5091. There are 1882
members Of the Knights of Labor in the
State, and 5447 membera of the Textile
Union, of which over 1900 members were
organized since the recent trouble at
Olneyville.
The history, preamble and principles OF
these three organizations are given In de-
tail
District No. % OF the Knights of Labor
was organized in the city OF Providence
Aug. 10, 1885. The jurisdiction Of the
district embraces the State of Rhode
Island. There were about 1000
members represented at the forma-
tion of the district. In one year the
numerical strength of the district was
1900 members, distributed between
about 81 local assemblies as follows:
makers 2, mechanics 2, printers I, painters
4, blacksmiths i. These assemblies were
located in various sections of the State
Since winter 1886 the district bership
has decreased greatly and at the present
time IL composed Of II assemblies repre-
senting 1852 members.
The Central Labor Union was organized
i'm Providence, March ~, 1884, as the fruit
age of a convention composed of dele
gates from trade unions and KING ghts
OF Labor assemblies then organized in
the state. The Union has taken a
prominent part I'm agitating reforms in
The interest of the wage worker. The
union il connected with the American
Federation OF Labor by charter and has
an enrolment OF about 300 members.
IL is the largest representative body of
wage workers i'm The state.
The format ion OF the Textile Union was
caused by the strike which occurred ON
Oct. 3, and ended Dec. n, 1893, ian five
large woolen manufactures In the city OF
Providence. The striking employees took
immediate action TO organize, and their
efforts were successful. There have been
branches OF the Union formed in several
sections of the state. State Union Is
contemplated in the near future which
will compose delegates from the branches
repfeeenting about 300 members.
The statistics show that there are III $50
laboring people organized for mutual i'm
terests in Rhode Island.
