BASE BALL
What Pursell Thinks of Onr Prince Of
hooters.

What Pursell Thinks Of Onr Prince Of
R0Oters.
There was one young man, we
heard some one call him Murphy,
who is probably the most modest,
retiring individual in seventeen
states. The audience divided its
time between the game and Bro.
Murphy's mouth. Bro. Murphy's
mouth is the most generous piece
of furniture that we have any
knowledge of at the present
writing. He has u rich, dark
brown voice that goes with the
mouth at the same price. We
have no idea where he keeps that
voice at night and on Sunday. He
has brought it with him TO the last
two games of base ball, and given
the people an opportunity to get
acquainted with it. On Saturday
last he brought it to us and intro.
duced it. AS we withdrew our
attention from all earthly things
and banished all other cares and
Affections from our niind, we gazed
down into the depths of that young
mans anatomy, studied the marvel.
Gus, internal mechanism of his di-
gestive organs and realized more
than ever before, how wonderful
are the works of the Creator. That
young mans voice will haunt us
for many long, weary days. Its
robust notes still fill our ears, and
il we live for IA century to come, we
shall ever hold that voice in humble
reverence. The young man is not
in keeping with his voice. He is
of slight and eifeminate build. His
girlish face with modesty pictured
upon il, would not suggest the mus
Gu ar tones of the steam caliope, or
the wild, weird screech the Afri-
can giasticutus And yet this blush
ing, backward boy can give them
both pointers. Oar rural neighbOrs
may not have much of a ball team,
and they may be behind the bal
ance of the world in everything
save mud, but we defy any place
on this mundane planet to produce
Il "rooter" who can make more
noise OF a seriously Objectionable
character than can this remarkable
young person who answers 10 the
name Of Murphy.
Murphy was leader Of the Logan
choir at the game on Saturday. His
seal brown voice could be heard
above all the rest. Out OF the gen
eral pandem0nium, the notes of

Politics..
The Stir and the Stirrers in the Cir
clcs Elite.

clcS Eiltc.
1t seems to have long passed the
day when only Democrats are gull
ty of dirty politics, so that even
Republicans of Hooking county
feel the keen sting of filth among
themselves. Some time ago we
were startled by the accusation
that we were gtilty of circulating
very degraded literature in GER
tain state campaign. We knew
we were sinned against; not sim
ming. We felt the keen thrust Of
the opposition in their laying at
our door the dirtyness Of vile per-
sonal campaign literature, but to
deny the accusation often strength
ems the guilt, and we said nothing.
We knew we were party of hon
or, but to make the opposition
known 50 in the heat of the cam
paign was another and more diff
cult task. We think we took the
wise course and bore the accusa-
ton. But ii has developed since
that we can not always be the ac
cused. In campaign wherein a
Republican judicial endorsement
was sought, and DIS the opposition
put it there was no Democrats, low
personal literature was circulated
in western Hooking the like of
which Democrat could not com
pose. 1t was penned by Republi-
can and printed by Republican,
in a Republican campaign and
there is no denial. The party was
marveled. They realized that
there lived, breathed and had its
being in their party man or set
of men that were actually as mean
as Democrats. We but smiled at
the discovery. Ere this voice from
the tomb has echoed and re-echoed
along the party line and is forgot
ten, another Republican struggle
comes on no longer ago than last
week, in which the elite are treat
ed TO another awful dose of filthy
politics in their own campaign, and
there still ale no Democrats. AS
the Journal puts it, there is IA pleas
ant (?) contest for the clerk of
court nomination. Those interest
ed are the best of friends, only that
a little circular now and then cir
culated in Ward township assailing
personally one Of their number,
done in all good friendship, has
been misconstrued and placed up
on the real mean list. We brand
the circulars as very low politics,
as any honorable man would do,
and are very glad that the Repub
licans needs lay this outrage at
their own fireside. Now that it is
admitted By those interested that
the vile art on two occasions emin-
ated from the bosom of some their
own number. We come back to
the original accusation. If on two
well known occasions personal cir
culars were issued against Rrpub-
licans by Republicans in Hooking
county, is it not at least PLAUSIBLE
that the former set of filth laid al
our door might not have eminated
from the bosom of some "kind |
friends" IN the rank aud file of our
o posi- ioi? We merely rccite the
above similas as defense in our
hearing rs honorable politicians.

THE NEWS MAIL BAG.
The Boiling Political Pot In Craustol

shV p'h'st"i w IA &laubAOhs
To THE EDITOR OF The NEWS:
sIR-As reader OF your paper and a
resident OF the east e q of the town OF
Cranston and supporter of Senator Mer-
rill l wish to express my appreciation of
the stand your paper has taken in the
Senatorial fight now on I'm Cranston.
Senator Merrill is man who is above
reproach, as a servant OF the town he has
a clean record. A story has been circu-
lated that Mr.. Merrill thought five dollars
per week was enough for a laborer on the
highway. Those who know him know
that IL Is false; to those who do not know
him would say that at the last financial
town meelirg IL was voted that the pay
of the laborers should be one dollar and
twenty-five cents per day. When IL came
TO the Town Council the proprietor of
Eden Park, member OF the Council,
said that five dollars n week was enough.
MIR. Merrill thought that enc dollar aud
n nalf was not any more than right for a
days pay. The Council as a whole com
prom on one dollar per day. Where
does the blame lie2
Another campaign falsehood which,
while II does not affect the vote at our
end OF the town, may be misleading, is
in regar TO the fire hose.
The town voted to buy hose for fire
purposes, and they were TO be dis
tributed. An officer OF the town wanted
one half OF the east end portion left at
Edgewood and the rest left Mt Pawtuxet.
Mr.. Merrill, as representative OF Edge
wood, waived all claim and recommended
that the fawtuXot FIRE Company have
them all. as they could take better care
OF them. However, a story is being cir
cuated that he did not want Paw
tuxet to have them, which is devoid OF
truth.
Again expressing my esteem for courtesy
extended, and trusting that everyone who
wants good government and that wants
10 see the ring rule defeated, will show at
the polls thst the popular candidate for
Senator Of the town Of Cranston IL syl-
vester X. Merrill EDoEwooD.

TIL; PASSOVER.

The feast of Passover, or the feast OF
unleavened bread, the Jewish Easter, ac-
cording to Hebrew chronology, began at
sundown on Saturday and will be OBJ
served by the orthodox Jew for eight
days. The date of the event in the He
brew calendar this year agrees with the
modern date OF March 20. The twenty
third chapter of Leviticus fixes the time
when the Passover shall be observed.
SIN the fourteenth day OF the month at
even is the Lords Passover, and on the
fifteenth day OF the same month is the
feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord;
seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
In the first day We shall have holy convo-
ocation; We shall do no serviie work there
in, but We sh,ll offer an Offering made by
fire unto the Lord seven days. In the
seventh day is holy convocation; ye
shall do no servile work therein"
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-03-30

approves the remedy that has aresdy been
applied.
THE News justly arrives at the conclu-
sion that majority OF the kepuoIican
voters OF the town are in favor OF senator
Merrill's reelection, the opposition to
him on the part OF the present party
managers being due TO the determined
stand he has always taken against cor
rupt influences In the management OF
town affairs.
The came means that have heretofore
been employed to override the wishes OF
the taxpayer OF the town in respect TO
municipal matters were used I'm the so
called Republican caucus TO prevent Inc
Repu blican voters from deciding who
should be their candidate for Senator.
Republicans are undeniably Justified In
bolting caucus from which they were
practically excluded by horde OF high
way Iabcrers whose naturalization papers
have not yet been filed with the town
clerk according to law.
TIE NEWS deserves TO be ecomplimented
upon dishonest and fearless advocacy OF the
idea that Republican candidates should
be,named by majority OF Republican
voters rather than by few intriguers
who by illegi,imate means have gained
temporary control Of the polictical ma
chinery OF the party and that 1t is right
and proper. under such circumstances, Tor
the legitimate Republican voters to take
matters into their own hands and use
heroic measures to effect change OF
management.

MONDAY, MARCH sc, ls9G.

WE clip the following paragraph from
our esteemed contemporary. The Inde-
pendent Citizen: "Boys do not grow to be
men in day, neither do political parties
develop sufficient strength in a night to
win victories and enthrone great princi-
pies In government. But boys do become
ncn by retaining all the growth OF each
past year and adding new growth year by
year. So parties grow, and tho larger
the vote the faster the growth" The
particular "boy'' that is meant is the
Prohibition party. But, bless the heart
of The Independent Citizen, the Prohibi-
tion party "boy" is pretty old boy. IL
it has not grown that is not because it
has not lived long enough. II WAS horn
bgfore the Republican party aud long re-
fore the editor OF The Independent Citi-
zen. But aged as 1t is, it is not so big
and strong today as it was when 1t was
In swaddling c'othes. The Prohibition
party is no spring chicken, though.
