Rhode Islands Canvass.

Rhode Island Pendulum East Greenwich.
Judging from appearances alone the
State election in Rhode Island this year
will be unattended by any contest; as far
as the State ticket is concerned the Re-
publican nominations once more
becoming in Rhode Island equiv
alent to election. The con-
~spicuous apathy in the Democratic
ranks is in the failure Of the party in 10
town, to make nominations for the
General Assembly, while the demoraliZa-
tion OF the party lie emphasized by the
declination Of numerous nominees TO risk
political fate al the ballot box.
What the Republican party has reason
TO fear in this canvass is the seeming
assurance OF certain victory under these
circumstances In the efforts OF a skilfuI
leadership TO resuscitate a party in such
condition as that in which the Democratic
party of the State now il, not too
much would be undertaken at once. nor
would too much noise be made about
campaign plans. We are rather inclined
20 believe that ifthcre are any brains in the
Democratic leadership that this practical
abandonment of any pretense OF contest
for the control OF the General Assembly is
but a well-arranged plan TO deceive Re-
publicans into an over confidence in sue
cess that will result in such Republican
apathy that the Democracy may "steal a
march" upon them with their State ticket
by well paid for activity on the eve OF
election.

A VESSEL LiBELlED.
Owner of La Platte Sued for Two
Thousand Dollars.

hhOuSuhu oiidI
The bark La Platte that arrived in this
port a few days ago from Bonaire with a
cargo of salt for s. ID. Andrews Son,
has been libelled by the owners of
the steamer Banan. The La Platte was
picked up at sea by the steamer and
lowed in to New York and for this
the owners OF the steamer demand
ed 5000, which was more than
offered the captain of the steamer 1000 for
towing and $50 for hswsers. This sum
was refused and q libel followed.
Stevedore John Adamson, who
has charge Of discharging the
vessel, ceased work when the libel was
placed on the craft, but satisfactory ar
engagements were made and the work Of
taking out the salt proceeded. Captain
Sloan left this city for New York yester-
day and the final outcome OF the matter Is
somewhat of a mystery. But from the
actions OF Captain Sloan, IL il probable
that the bark will be sold in this port and
will be bought in by her present owners,
the Shuttle Brothers of Nova Scotia.
Ii is though, that tue vessel, in its pres
ent condition, will not bring over $500,
and the costs of the court 1t will
leave the owners of the steamer but little
more than was offered them by Captain
Sloan upon the arrival in New York.
III the owners succeed in buying her il
Is probable that she Will be towed to her
home port in Nova Scotia, where she can
be repaired much cheaper than in this
country. The owners of the La Platte
have been notified to appear before the
United States District Court, Thursday,
April is, at 10 o'clock.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Eugene Meiggs, a brakeman on the
train that arrived in this city at S:15, this
morning, on the Warren IL Bristol Road
narrowly escaped being killed this side Of
Drownville. The train had started out of
the depot at this place and Meiggs was
standing IN the lower step OF the hrst
end Of the rear car to see IL the nag
man had got on the train and
a switch gaze struck him over
the left eye anAknocked him off the car.
When he fell he rolled toward the tracks,
but in some way which ne cannot explain
he did not get under the wheels. The
train was stopped and it was found
that he was not dangerously injured.
Mr.. Meiggs returned to Bristol on the
next train and a cash two and a hall
inches long was dressed by his physician.

Honest Money and Protection.
Boston Journal.

Boston Journal.
The Republican nominee for governor,
Hon. Charles Warren Lippitt, is a member
OF a disting uished Rhode Island family, a
successful man OF affairs, and known out
side of his State, as well as in it, as a pub
lic-spirited citizen. He is an admirable
candidate, well equipped for the high Of
flee which his father held before him. OF
his election and of that of all his associ-
ates by a strong vote there can be no
question. In the April election of a
year ago, the Republicans cast 29,157
ballots in the State and the Dem
ocrats 22,650-a Republican plurality
of 6507. Since then the Republican
preponderance has been steadily
strengthening. The Republican candi-
dates for Congress last November re-
ceived together a vote almost 5000 larger
than that given to their Democratic an
tagonists. As a manufacturing State
Rhode Island has as much at stake as
Massachusetts, in honest money and pro-
lection.

The Republican State convention which
met in Providence yesterday, was one OF
the most harmonious and satisfactory
for many years. The members OF
the convention were all men who
were working for the best interests OF
the State rather than for their own ag-
grandizoment and the nominations for
State officers were carried without a dis
s%enting vote. The candidates nominated
are all men OF we'll known ability and
integrity, and their nomination is equiva-
lent TO their election.

The Redemption of Rhode Island.

pAwtucket Times.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Boston
Journal, has evidently given the political
situation some study, which leads it to
remark that it is said that in several inn
portant Rhode Island towns the Demo
Gratis are so totally demoralized as to have
failed to make any nominations for the
approaching elections. Yet IL anybody
has the curiosity to look upon the files Of
the "tarihf reform" press OF four or five
years Ago., he will find elaborate editorial
arguments designed to show that by no
possibility could Rhode Island ever again
be carried by the Republicans.

ousted without any legal process.
Under this provision the lessee
lives with his head in the lions
mouth. A crank, or a hot-headed
man 10 office, may cause him se.i-
GUS trouble, and he is utterly de-
prived Of the right to resort to the
courts of justice for a remedy.
In all Of the relations of life the
citizen may resort to the courts and
obtain a judicial examination. In
the matter of securing and holding
a lease, under the new Act, he is
cut off from that right, and he will
hesitate before engaging in bust
ness which the law puts within the
arbitrary power of officials.
We are earnestly in favor of
securing the ends sought by the
new law, and are confident that
only reliable men viii administer
it, at present. But we present the
case from the strangers standpoint
and the standpoint of men who are
experienced IN worldly affairs. The
matter should be we'll considered
before the meeting Of the next
Legislature.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-09-03
TIE NEW LAND LAW.

One of the provisions of the new
law, which may defeat the objects
of its enactment, is that which al
lows the Commissioners to termi-
nate leases, with the consent of the
Cabinet, without any judicial de-
termination of the rights of the
parties.
Few intelligent men will submit
their labor and money to the arbi-
trsry disposition of the Commits
sioners.
The Cabinet and Land Commits
sioners are subject to the political
changes of the Government, and
while at the present time they are,
and will be, above suspicion, it
does not follow that their high
character will be maintained in
the future. The administration of
the land law may become the oil of
a political machine.
An intelligent immigrant will be
reluctant to engage in any enter
prise which an officer, under the in
huence of political leaders, may
destroy or iDjure.
The safeguard of the Anglo
Saxon is in the judiciary or jury
system, which secures to him a full
and fair trial.
The new land law, moreover,
provides that the lessee, under a
general lease, may be, without
notice or demand, summarily
