We take it baek-our sighting remark
as TO st. Swithin.

What is probably the last shipment of
gold for many months to come has been
made. Ths movement OF the joyous
metal will now be this way. The de-
mand for hreadstuffs from abroad Is un-
precedentedly early and this is good
thing for the farmer who by reason of a
call tefore. his crop is ready for harvest
will save good bit of the middleman's s
usual profit
The farmer Will have plenty of
good money because nature has ar
rapged it so for him. And tho working
man in the mills and the manufacturer
will get share of it later, thanks to q
tariff which keeps the foreigner from
reaping the benefit of the abundant

SOME HARD HrsDED FELLOW
CITIz FMS.

The corporation Of Brown University Is
composed Of something more than thirty
menbe
OF this body the following named are
perhaps the moro particularly we'll
known hereabouts;
Chancellor William Goddard. Mr.. Mar
shall Woods, Ex-Governor Sprague. Mr.
Arnold B. Chace. Congressman Walker.
OK State Senator Woods, Hon. Andrew j.
Jennings of the Spindle City, Arnold
Green, Esq. Rev. Moses III. Bixby, Mr.
Robert l. Gnmmell, ex-Congressman lap
ham. ex Senator Chace. hr. Cornelius ;.
Sweetland, DIR. George L. Collins MIR.
Rowland g. Hazard. Mr. Eugene w. Ma
son and Secretary. the Rev. Thomas ID.
Anderson.
From timo to time these gentlemen are
in the public eye in one way or another,
quite apart from their connection with
the affairs of the university.
They represent diversity of the profes-
sions and trades
They are not infrequently found to be
variously shaded az to politics, one
against the other.
They STAND for ideas that are not always
in harmony as between them or many
other folk In the community.
But, with ono or two exceptions, they
are distinguished by an attribute in com
mon that is, we believe, quite generally
recognized In this community as oonspic-
uous among their parts and talents.
To wit; They are gentlemen OF very
hard heads
Sot in their ways. as 1t were.
Not commonly disposed To vacillation
or 10 anything in the nature OF Mysteries
1t might be well to take cognizance OF
this in estimating how the corporation
is likely to DO affected by the tempest it
has recently kicked up.
And we guess there are some equally
hard headed gentlemen included in the
thirty odd of whom we know less here
abouts.

the big boys were not lacking in chivalry
toward their weaker rival, and after Will

And after some weeks of this pleasant sub
terfuge they would let him reach me without
worrying him with even pretended rivalry.
Which was mighty nice and generous of the
big fellows, am sure.

oFFENsEs TO PUBLIC DECENCY.


The News OF yesterday showed up the
peculiarly nefarious sport of policy play
ing as openly conducted In this town-the
wiekedest and most harmful kind OF a
gambling game that was over invented
for the stealing of the dimes of the masses
of the people.
The exhibit thus made In our columns
was still further communicative evidence of
the shameful condition that exists In this
community under the present administra-
tion of its affairs.
The News does not propose to preach to
its readers. 1t seeks no altruistic social
condition. IL does not ask its readers TO
believe that in city of lt0, 600 inhabi-
tants there need be no vice and no crime
Public sentiment would Do accused of
squeamishness. 1t will stand great
deal and worry along and look on the
brighter and more encouraging side.
But public sentiment demands a con-
sidsration of its self-respect
1t demands that at least the decencies
shall be observed by the authorities in
srusted with the good name of the com
munity. There is great deal of vicious
ness that can be suppressed, ruled out.
There is much Of another kind that can
only be controlled and reduced.
But here in Providence Woe and
viciousness in many directions seem to
neither know nor recognize any authority.
They fiaunt themselves before the pub.
lie community and boldly challenge COR
vection and defy public condemnation.
They are a stencil In the nostrils of a
self-respecting community--a city OF
homes aud churches and reputable oft
izenship that once it is aroused will be
powerful to crush them out and drive
forth in ignonimy any set of public
officials that tolerate and encourages thom
however confident such may feel in
their political security. The News
stands for this public sentiment.
1t stands for the homes and the
shurches and the seif-respocting citizens.
1t stands for the good name Of this city.
1t believes thsre are laws enough and
ordinances enough ana police force
enough to clean the town and kesp ir
clean.
1t will stand by the authorities, no
matter of what political or partisan faith
they may be. that maintain law and order
and public decency.
And 1t will continue to call public at.
tention to evils that exist and will use
all the influence at it's command to bring
the authorities that leave the weapons of
the law to gather dust in their ignorance
or willful blindness to the bar of public
iustice.
