SAYING
Honor to General Graham +!
The sun.


Last winter there was erected in the Ma.
uonal Cei1eiery at san Francisco monument
To those soldiers of the Firth artillery who
lost their lives IN the conflict between the
pDlted states ana the rioters. The inscrip-
Strikers"
Certain aeita,ors in San Francisco choose 10
regard THIS inscription as an insult to what
they call "the cause of labor" bout three
weeks AGO. at meeting held in Metropolitan
hall, resolutions were adopted demanding the
removal OF the legend which records the deaf n
OF these soldiers in the execution OF their
duty. The resolutions were sent tp the COM
mandipe officer OF the Fifth Artillery.
This officer IN General William M. Graham
gallant and patriotic soldier OF the Union, a
hero OF the Peninsula, OF Antietam and
Gettysburg. He knows what fighting is. He
KNOWS when lives are unne cesar rily sacri feed.
He knows the difference between killing in
battle and murder in riot. the Army and
Navy Journal contains his indignant reply TO
the demand OF the metropolitan Hall resolu-
uons:
am competent Judge of how these
soldiers met their deaths, and the words
Mutderea by strikers' exactly and justly ex-
press my judgment on that point.
For TINS reason respectfully decline to
comply with the treasonable demand of men
who have publicly put themselves outside OF
the law, and of the respect Of honest law
abiding citizens, by adopt ng resolutions Of
sympathy with public. enemies. and condoning
the crime of murder"
The murdered soldiers belonged 10 the reci-
ment which General Graham commands. His
personal feeling in regard TO tue matter is
natural. But beyond that he speaks like an
American and patriot. Let il be understood
that when soldiers Of the army engaged in the
execution OF their duty. arc shot down by
enemies of the law, the crime is murder.
Let the in-cription stand, that every body who
reads 10 may know the true meaning of riot
in the name OF labor.
The question as 10 the removal OF this In.
sscripnnn has been referred TO the Secretary of
War. We are very much mistaken about the
spirit which animntes the not gigantic frame
OF Colonel Lamont IL the san Francisco agita-
tors get much comfort In that quarter.

SAVING GRACE-THE COFFEE
HOUSE

nOGDGs
The Union for Practical Progress met
for the first time since June last evening.
We have sadly missed the meetings of
the Union through the long cherries
summer days and nights, and we have
been looking forward with corresponding
impatien ce not unmixed with curiosity
to the opening OF the fall season, when
the Union would be with us once again
to turn on the hose OF practical progress
and drench MS with it's clarified stream.
Accordingly, we are disappointed, NOT
to say grieved, that the only thing that
came before the meeting OF the Union
for Practical Progress last evening was
the report OF the coffee house committee.
Thank goodness for the saving grace OF
the coffee house committees report!
For some reason or other the liquor
section failed to report-not even pro-
gress, practical or impractical. The COM
mittee on investigating the desirable fea-
lures OF the model municipal system un-
derstood to be in operation on the planet
Mars had no remarks to make. The Des-
ert OF Sahara joint standing committee
excuse themselves from having anything
to say on the feeble pretext that the sub
ject could not be practically looked into
during the summer months. The com
mittee on public meetings had no report
ready, though II suggested that in all
public meetings held under the auspices
OF the Union in future, speeches
should be made by speakers. The sec
tion entrusted with the duty OF drafting
a law providing that hereafter two meals
day, instead OF three should constitute
the victualing OF all citizens OF Provi-
dence above the age OF n, and that
teething babies should be privileged to
ride on the end seats OF bloomer cars
whenever the weather was salu brious had
only to say that such report was in course
OF preparation. And the committee on
emigration to Montreal and Buda Pesth
asked for more time to examine into RI
val claims that had been received from
the Board of Trade OF Timbuctoo.
No. the coffee house committee alone
was ready to report and there was time

Tomorrow the biennial elections amend
ment will be submitted for acceptance or
rejection to the voters OF Rhode Island.
Three-fiths Of the votes cast will be
necessary 10 secure shis most desirable
amendment TO our constitution.
1t is reasonable 10 believe that - goodlS
| proportion of the voters will take the
trouble to come out the amendment will
be adopted
II ought to be adopted and the voters
ought to come out-every taxpayer and
every registry voter, for the amendment
is OF distinct advantage to the people as a
whole-to our methods OF popular govern
ment and to our exchecquer.
Once before has biennial amendment
been presented to the people. 1t was lost
for no other reason than a slack vote. 1t
was passed upon, November s, 1892, and
while there was plenty of interest in the
national and congressional election that
eliminated on that day, the ballot was
so huge a sheet with so many things OF
different interests on it that the biennial
proposition received a comparatively scan
ty consideration.
In addition 10 national candidates the
State House loan proposition and the cor
poration amendment to the constitution
were on the ballot with the biennial act
and of over fifty-three thousand suffrag-
lists in Rhode Island, who voted for Presi-
dental electors only 81, 600, took the
trouble TO vote on the biennial PROPOSE
tion. The proposition was favored by
clear majority o. 1912 but lacked a paltry
s45 votes OF securing the necessary three
fifths.
II $4,000 voters take the trouble to go to
the voting booths tomorrow We guess the
much desired and long worked-for amend
ment will be accepted
1t will be the most important and use
full amendment made to our constitution
since the suffrage was opened.

RAIL AND CROssTIE.

The Illinois Central railroad officials
laugh at the rumor which has been going
the rounds declaring that the Illinois Cen
trail and the Southern railway have about
concluded negotiations for the joint pur-
chase of the New Orleans and North
eastern, the Alabama and Vicksburg and
the Vicksburg Shreveport and Pacific
railroads, with a total mileage of about
500 miles in Mississippi and Louisiana The
deal, IL was said, would give the Southern
and throttle a rival of the Illinois Cen
trail, the Mobile and Ohio. The Southern
was, according to the dispatches. to oper-
leans and the Central the other lines. The
Central officials in Chicago declare the
report preposterous on its face, for the
operation Of the New Orleans and North
eastern by the Southern road would nor
in any way prevent the Mobile and Ohio
from reaching New Orleans. Further IL
is pointed out that the Mobile and Ohio's
chief gulf business is to Mobile, to which
IL runs over its own tracks
