HITALUTIN ORATORY.
It Reached It's summit In the Eulogy
Upon senator Vance.

It Reached It's Summit In the Eulogy
Upon senator Vance.
The funeral orations pronounced In the
house of representatives just before It's
close surpassed In hifalutin oratory any
that have been heard for years, and
superlatives were flung round in most
reckless manner The late Senator Vance
was the subject of eulogy.
Speaking Of his personal characteristics,
Congressman Bum declared that the late
senator has left behind a radiant stream
of effulgent glory, like the brilliant sun,
which sinks behind tho distant hilltops
and leaves behind golden stream of gor-
geous splendors, making the whole west
ern horizon seem as IL tho most opulent
dye pots In the studio of the angels had
been upset and had leaked through upon
the clouds, thus giving them tho tintipgs
of celestial glories."
Then, in conclusion, Mr.. Bum let 60
his emotions and said:
"And now, Mr.. Speaker in coming to
pay my humble but sincere and heart
nursed tribute to transoendent worth and
exalted greatness and loftiest excellence,
feel the poverty of human expression and
weakness Of strongest language, for words,
however expressive and graphic, are at
best but poorest vehicles for the transmits
sion of those feelings. when the heart Is
swept by the rushing billows OF grief that
sweep o'er the ocean Of an overwhelming
bereavement. And so my tongue Is In the
roflin, and I can only bow my head
and weep o'er the memories of him who Is
now sleeping where the myrtles grow and
the daisies peep"

"IF THEY HAD COME OUT"

We trust, by this time, after care
full study of the figures. our Democratic
friends have abandoned the idea that
- ii they had come out" on Wednesday
they would have carried the remarkably
quiet State election.
They have, doubtless, learned by a
study OF the figures that if the election
was quiet. it was also significant.
AS we pointed out yesterday, there
was nothing slow about the Republican
votes. They swamped the Democratic
vote, but the best and biggest vote that
the Democracy could possibly have
polled, ''if they had come out" would
still have failed of securing the election
to their candidates.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor had 25.092. That gave him plu-
rality of 10,901.
But if the Democrats had brought ont
all the votes they cast at the last Con-
gressional election, 13,619-and that
was good, stirring sort of an election
the Republican gubernatorial candidate
would have had plurality of II. 473.
And If the Democrats had got out all
the votes they cast against Governor
BROWN, one year ago, 22,650. the Re-
publican gubernatorial candidate would
have had a comfortable plurality of
2442.
And il the Democrats had brought out
all the votes that they cast for GROVER
CLEVELAND in 1892, 24,335, the Repub-
lican gubernatorial candidate would
still have been solid with a plurality of
757.
And if the Democrats had managed,
by dint Of the stiffest kind of work and
boundless Doodle, to bring out the vote
they piled up against Governor BROWN
in 1901 the biggest they ever cast, 25, 433,
they would only barely have carried the
election by a plurality of 341. Which
reminds us that we were that much in
error yesterday in stating that Governor
elect LIPPITT's vote was sufficient to have
topped any Democratic vote ever cast in
the State. But any such supreme effort
on the part of the Democrats would
have been met with a more than cores
ponding increase in the Republican poll.
No! 1t is evidently. all poppycock, any
talk about a change in the result Of the
election ''if the Democrats had come
out" The result would not have been
changed although it would have been
again demonstrated that on u full vote
Rhode Island is Republican State.
The total vote was no. heavy one,
but it was not light one, despite the
Democratic falling off. And, at all
events, the Republicans did their duty as
earnestly as if they had had 10 face the
whole Democratic strength.

ment to agree to arbitration, and the
latter has promptly responded that there
can be no arbitration over the territory
up to the ScHoMBURGK line. Having
got about all she wants Great Britain Is
willing to arbitrate the rest.
Venezuela has a tight little army
armed with modern weapons and a
useful mosquito navy for immediate
business. The little Republic is pre-
pared to stand its ground with the
British force now in her territory and to
hold the fort pending the action OF the
United States.
1t looks like very clear case. The
administration of the United States
should act and without using much
diplomatic palaver about it, either.

CANDIDATE BRONSON, whose refusal
to promise to abstain from the use Of
tobacco has kicked up quite stir in the
Methodist ministry, was yesterday ad-
mitted to the New England Conference
without making any promises, and the
bishop did not demand them. Candi-
date BRONSON, however, doesn't use to-
bacco, and doesn't intend to begin, and
Bishop MERRILL in making reference TO
the matter expressed the opinion that
while he thought the tobacco issue of
minor importance as factor of precept
and faith, 1t would be just as well If our
pulpits should be clean and free from
small vices. even II they were not au-
thoritatively prohibited.

THE CHILDREN'S DINNER.

Annual Christmas Feast and Tree at
the Orphan Asylum.
The Christmas dinner Of the children
Of the Protestant Orphan Asylum took
place yesterday at noon, as usual
The number of children this year is
not so great as in some past years,
there being only 13I at present, but
they were all on hand, except the ba-
bies. At the given signal they filed into
the dining-room like veteran soldiers,
no hurrying or impatience, those of
each division being classified accord
ing to size and taking the table as
signed to them. The perfection of their
table manners was remarkable and
speaks volumes for the discipline of
Mrs. Cady, and the love the children
bear for her, for it was evident that
love and not fear was the moving
spirit that guided the little ones.
The dinner was all that larger people
could have wished for, nothing being
lacking, and was thoroughly enjoyed
The happiness of the little ones was
complete, when at 3 o'clock after the
rendition of a programme, consisting
of cantata declamations and songs.
the Christmas tree was presented to
| their favorable consideration, and every
child received its token of remem-
brance from it.
1t is a remarkable circumstance and
rebounds greatly to the credit of the lady
managers and the matron that, owing
to the sanitation and cleanly condi-
ton in which the building is always
kept. as well as the care taken of the
children, not death has happened in
the institution since five years ago the
coming March.
