SATURDAY. MAY 20, 1897.
GOOD STUFF!

We take it that the members of the
lower branch of tine Assembly do nos ask
or want any especial praise for summarily
disposing of the iinpudent and infamous
proposition TO revoke the will of the people
Of New Shoreham to nullify an important
feature of statute of the State and to
make a laughing stock of the fundamental
principle of local option and home rule as
practioed in this commonwealth.
The House of Representatives certainly
only did its duty in the premises.
But tnat body may we'll accept con.
gratrlations for the way IL performed
that duty. IL gave but short shift to
the impudent and Infamous proposition
i'he members OF the House showed that
and discussion. The bill that the Senate,
in spasm Of inexplioable inaninity.
passed, the House treated with the con
tempt it deserved aud showed it one side
with practical ununimity to proceed to
business of kind that had some claim
on its time.
The position i'm which tho Senate thus
found itself was significant chiefly of the
ease and grace with which the Hon. Kit
Champlin of Block Island was able to
stampede that body. lie is an old soldier
at the trick. We can but admire his inn
pudcnce, though his success must be hu-
initiating TO mis- fellow mem bers.

SATISFACTORY AMI AIFELIKE.
Portrait Of Ex-Gov. Brown on Exhibition
In 7 lien- -Thurber Gallery.

The most satisfactory and lifelike por-
trait of a public man. whose face Ia
familiar TO every one, ever exhibited in
this city Is that Of Ex-Governor ID.
Russell Brown. which now occupies the
place OF honor in the Tilden Thurber
gallery.
1t is for the State House collection and
Will be hung In the official gallery some
time next week.
The portrait was painted by Jared Il.
Flagg of the National Academy at New
York and the leading artist in his partic-
ular line of work in the country.
There Is an additional interest in the
governors portrait from the fact that
Flagg Is also the artist who produced tho
magnificent picture OF Hester Brynne
Hawthorne's famous heroine In the
scarlet Letter +"
This picture of the noyelisl's most.
charming character has created "A sensa-
tion, and Is still at the Iilden- Thurber
gallery.
Ex-Governor Brown sat for the portrait
without resorting To the conventional
custom OF holding an official looking uoc-
ument with tho red seal The pose is
most natural and tho leather stuffed
chair with carved arms adds to the sug-
gestion of an official presence.

Mabel Williams Munroe.

A shadow falls across our path
Not all this fair spring tide,
With wealth of bursting leaf aud bloom,
Can grief and sorrow hide.
The sky is still as deeply blue,
The cheerful sun shines yet,
But 10 our eyes these things are veiled,-
Their beauty we forget.
For one whose nature brought the light,
As morning brings the sun,
Has passed from out tins world of ours
Her earthly journey run.
Within the home once radiant
With love, and warmth, and care,
A cold and empty silence reigns,-
For, lol She is not there.
Among the friends whom formerly
Her gentle spirit blessed,
There is a vacant place, ne'cr filed,
While her voice is repressod.
But as her smile in happier days
Raincd kindness like the dew,
So may her mem'ry in our hearts
Shed incense ever new.
And though her star upon this earth
in gloom and darkness set,
In heavenly skies all glorious,
Behold it-shining yet.
oh, shine or -2s, beloved star,
And bid our souls take heart,
Till in that far and distant cline
We meet-no more TO part.

"The General Assembly on Wednesday,
remarks our esteemed contomI orary, the
Newport Mercury, passed resolution
sitting down somewhat heavily on the
state House Commission. IL ordered said

Assembly. such resolution as that
ought to have been passed in the begin
ming. No commission ought TO have con.
troll of unlimited funds"
