THE HAND OF FATE

We have had occasion before to re.
mark the fact that fate seems to be
"agin" our war vessels. The Texas,
Mo ontgomery, Puritan and the Brook
lyn have barred their breasts to the
stroke of misfortune and retired much
tho worse for the experience. And now
Admiral Bunce's gallant fleet has been
tossed about by the elements like an
old woman's market eggs and nearly
capsized.
Only four lives are reported lost in
the admiral's disaster, but the good
vessels of his feet were twisted aud
buffeted and barely escaped leaving
their bones to bleach on the nearest
coast. The misfortune OF the fleet was
beyond the control of the commander
and it is lucky that it turned out no
worse. We await with humility the
next stroke OF fate upon the uhfortu-
nate vessels Of our national defence.
We don't know which will be next in
order, but unless our luck changes we
will not bo much longer in condition
to talk back either to Spain or to Eng
land

BRADLEY MARTIN FETE.

The gorgeous Bradley Martin fete
has passed into history, but controversy
on the financial outlay in these times
of depression and wan. still rage back
and forth. The utterances Of Rev. DR..
Rainsford from the pulpit of ST.
Georges church, criticising the Brad
ley Martins for giving On entertainment
OF such lavish display, when popular
discomfort ran 30 high, counted for
naught.
Here is minister of the gospel who
ought to know by heart the Biblical
story of redering unto Ceasar the
things that are Ceasars and its full
meaning, who seeks noteriety by in
Weighing against the rich people of that
city spending their money on shows,
bails and banquets, just as if they did
not have right, morally as we'll as le-
gally to do as they please within de-
cency. He seems to think that rich
displays are injurious to the humber
classes Of the community, and that they
excite envy and ill-feeliug.
In this view we cannot agree with
Rainsford. We incline to the belief
that the more money the wealthy ex-
pend the more of it the poor will get.
AS to the envy we dare say that no one
would think of such feeling were it
not suggested by such peculiar fellows
as Rainsford. AS it has resulted al
ready in the sending of threatening let
ters to one person who is going to give
gran d display, we can see that his
talk has had an evil instead Of good
effect. There is such thing as sug.
sestiveness in insanity, and when one
crank breaks out we may we'll expect to
see brood of like beings come to the
front.
In the olden times it was always re-
garded as a great sign of liberality and
hospitality for the great ones Of the
earth to have famous demonstrations
and the greater the splendor and ex
pc nditure the more the citizens, shop
keepers and the trades people generally
applauded, because they reaped the
benefits. It is the same thing today
and the more mon ey is set going tn,
less gold the misers hoard, the better
the common, or more strictly speaking
and meaning, the poorer people, viii
be off. But we presume Rainsfort
wanted to make hit, and he has don,
90 with boomerang.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Editorial Views OF Our Contemporaries on
Matters Of Interest.
The Milford Daily News. Bourke
Cochran went to Cleveland on Monday
and had conference with Mark Hanna.
As Cochran insists that he is not look
ing for an Office, and would not accept
one if rendered, bis business with
Hanna was probably Of . financial
nature. The big New Yorker did not
leave his party and go into the cam
paign last fall for his health.
Atlanta Constitution We look for
ward to q time, and that not many
years in the future, when the people;
restored to political sanity by stern ne
cessity. will place the real Democratic
party in power, and thus, under the
operations of tariff which will yield
sufficient revenue to pay the expenses
of the government, and an expanding
volume Of currency, the country will
be restored to prosperity, and the re-
public to its former glory and power.

pLA0 DAY.

Today is the anniversary OF tho birth
dav of Abraham Lincoln, man whose
name will not pale beside that OF any
other man since the days OF the
Apostles, not even George Washington.
Patriotic exercises were held today in
nearly ell the public and parochia
schools of the city in honor OF the
event. Delegations OF veterans visited
the schools and participated in the ex-
ercises. In prose, poetry and song the
deeds of Lincoln were interestingly
told. Such celebrations as those held
ia the schools today keep aglow the fire
OF patriotism in the rising generation,
and act as an incentive for purity of
life and character.

MAYOR GOTTSCHALK'S POSITION.

The position which Mayor Colts
chalk of Central Falls occupies is pc
culiar one. When he was first elected
Mayor OF that city he called the liquor
together and told them in plain Ian
guage that he meant to enforce the
Sunday liquor law. He gave them fair
warning, but instead of profiting 10y the
advice some &C them persisted IN dis
obeying the law, believing that the
Mayor was talking for effect. Others
felt secure inasmuch as they mad the
patronage of such men as Dennis,
Fournier and other Republican bosses.
They did not dream for moment that
Mayor Gottschalk would dare modest
them.
Furthermore. the icense board were
all Republicans. and of course the
liquor dealers interests would be looked
after. These calculations were upset,
ii seems, by the Mayor, who inaugu-
rated non-p bipartisan crusade against
the illegal liquor dealers. Tie license
board was forced to do its duty, and a
number OF dealers who persisted in dis
"obeying the laws have been punished.
But in doing this he has incurred the
enrnity OF the leaders OF the Republi-
can party who have been paudering to
the liquor element for years. He has
taken the contract which has existed
between the Republicans and the liquor
dealers, and howl has been raised 20
down Gottschalk, even if they have to
resort to secret investigations. Mayor
Gottschalk has nothing to fear from
set OF men who are ashamed to have
their doings made public.
Another and skilful hand is seen in
these personal attacks. Dennis, Craw-
ford, Eastwood, Keene, Fournier and
others are but mere tools to vent the
spite Of greater intellect who stand,
in the background trembling les,
Mayor Gottschalk shall wrest the Stat,
senatorship from him this spring. Thi,
giant intellect :aid to reverend gen
tleman that Mayor Gottschalk ha,
not an honest fibre in his head" bu
yet, Notwithstanding this, the Mayo
was handsomely indorsed. No matte
what these followers OF secret meeting
may do Mayor Gottschalk may rest as
,sured that the fumipgs and bluster O
discredited politicians will count TO
naueht with the sensible citizens o
Central Falls.

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

"Do you think there is any such
thing as kleptomahia ?" asked the ner-
vous mans wife in Fairlawn.
"I'm convinced OF it," was the reply.
And il could get into the room of
that man who practices on the from

1t was reported at the annual encamp-
ment OF the Department Of Rhode
Island, G.. A. r., held at Woonsocket on
Tuesday, that during the past year the
number Of deaths in the order exceeded
the number Of musters by twenty.four.

OFF ON THEIR MISSION.
Messrs. Stevenson, Wolcott and

commission abroad to confer with the
European governments and endeavor to Sc
cure their consent to come into interna-
tiona1 conference on the question of the
coinage Of gold and silver.
Gen. Stevenson said that the commission IS
plans were not as yet in definite shape
The commission had, however, he said,
decided 10 visit Paris first and consult
with the prominent government officials
there. Then they would go to Berlin to
meet the representatives Of the German
empire, after which England would be

The three tracts, with a total of 400
acres, are none too much for the purposes
of the Government during its second cen

ish Women. There are sixty-four sections
in the United States, from Boston to Sacra-
mento; one in Montreal, Canada; hence
