Recent proceedings in the Assembly
indicate that the Democrats propose 10
make an aggressive tisht TO secure the
United States Senatossh,p for thsir rarty,
and all the Indications roint 10 the
hottest camraiga that the State has
known in half dozen years
Il must be eopceued that properly
handled the Democrats have chance for
their canvass that has perhaps never be-
fore been theirs in Senatorial year
The growth Of Democratic strength.
which. up to six years ago, was very
marked for a decade. has never been cal
cularsd to make possible Democratic
Senator, however coed a showing was
made for the fight on State issues, for the
reason that, besides being pretty Loyalty
Republican on national issues. hhode
Island was sturdy protcctionist state
and neither raw free trade nor Cleveland
tariff reform could count on a majority
in this industrial commonwealth.
But today the tariff is not an issue, OK
cept In the opinion of forlorn band Of
mugwumps. The tariff Is out of politics
for some time to come, II not for oil time.
Protection, once Republican party
policy, IS now a national policy. 1t was
fought for dozen years, and any more
discussion over it can be but question
of schedules. The issue today in national
politics is ths money question, and on
this both Republicans and Democrats
here in Rhode Island are singularly
united, as they are in the greater part OF
the Northern aud Eastern states.
The Rhode Island Democracy is pretty
badly split up party chiefly by reason Of
the fact that it's uppermost lenders are
sound money men, while there is pretty
strong silver sentiment throughout the
rank and file. But the politics of the city
of Providence have been per verted in the
past three years to the disaster of Repub-
licans by strictly local issues so that the
disintegration has not been without its
effect on the Republican party through
out the State. On the other hand, the
Democrats and the recalcitrant Republ-
cans. as represented in the present Az
sembly, appear to be pretty we'll united,
and IL is reasonable to suppose that the
affinity may have bearing on the Sena-
torial contest which may be exerted in an
especially effective way, inasmach as the
Republicans cannot today claim the sup
port for their candidate that the protec-
tion issue has been powerful to assure
them since that issue has passed.
1t looks, indeed. as II stirring times
were ahead.

THE MARTYRED MINORITY.

What is all this fuss about the sssof
the Assembly, anyway: The majority of
the members voted to adjourn. Ihe
minority raised great hue and cry
about the moral cowardice" of the
majority. The minority pose as martyrs.
They assume the familiar GooGoo spirit
OF super righteousness. Being minority,
that of itself MAKES Them dead sure they
are terriucslly right. Their organ
shrieks in job type headline, "Six
Senators Protested In Vainl" OF course
they did. Six senators Will ever protest
in vain whom there ara twenty-tbree
senator's against them.
There seems to have been only IN in
different amount OF politics in the ques-
tion, since several Republicans voted
with the minority and Democrat or two
with the majority. The question OF recess
was matter of opinion, like most ques-
tions, and the majority rules, as IL always
Will and should. Moreover, the Majority
was so bic that it left very little of the
argument OF the minority standing.
Ii is 10 be expected that Democratic
politics will be created out OF this ques.
tiou, out II is perfectly simple proceed
ing nevertheless and to attempt TO create
an issue out OF IL is llubdub, pure and
simple.

THE CHANGES OF
 FUSION NOT BRIGHT Colorado Conventions Held Yesterday Separately.
 -ss TELLER WAN IS PHILIPPINES Temporary Chairman of Free Silver '. :. .,.ss Republicans
HE DENOUNCED THE PRESIDENT
And Declared He Had no Apologies to
 Offer for Having Voted for Bryan Committees Appointed to 
 T ts- Consider Fusion.

Colorado Springs, Col, September S.-At the end of today's session of the four state conventions, the chances of fusion between the democrats, populists and Teller branch of the silver republicans appear little brighter. The nomination of Simon Gug- genheim by the anti-Teller faction which seemed assured last night is not at all cer- tain.
 MT. Teller made an address at the fusion- ists' meeting in which he denounced Presi- dent Mckinley and his supporters as ene- mics of silver. He spoke of the phases of the late war, claiming that it would not have been necessary had the president list ened to the plea of congress when it asked for the recognition of Cuban belligerency. He created great enthusiasm by vigorous advocacy of the Philippines.
 committee was chosen to meet similar committees from the democratic and popu- listic parties to arrange for fusion ticket After this National Chairman Charles A. Towne addressed the convention. He de- fended his action in deposing State Chair man Broad, who he claimed had arranged

 Chicago, September S.-The following let ter was sent from National Woman $ Christian Temperance Union headquarters today to Miss Nancy Letter. who is to christen the battleship illinois"
 'The Temple, Chicago, Sept. 8. Dear Miss Letter: In behalf of 300 900 women of the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union of the United States, and, in particular, of the 15,000 of our number in Illinois, we respectfully request you to christen the battleship Illinois, not with champagne, but with pure water.
 we would call your attention to the fact that the battleship Kentucky was christened with water from the Lincoln spring, and we feel that there are enough historic streams in our own good state to make such an act most appropriate. We also feel sure that 1t would be far-reach- ing in its influence for temperance and righteousness.
 ''We know you will appreciate the spirit in which this letter is written, and will not feel that we have taken an undue liberty.

ORDER HELD UP.
United States Will Not Pay Duty on
 RationS to Havana.

Washington, September S.-The order di- recting the payment of the Spanish duty on the rations carried by the Comal to Ha- vana for the starving inhabitants of Cuba has been held up pending the ascertaining g of further information on the subject.
 { In answer. to cable message as to what the duty would be, d reply was received stating that it would be, according to the Spanish rates, s6o0o0 in gold. No agent of the United States government has any such amount of money on hand at Havana to pay this sum, and it may be that the United States government will take different course than that decided upon last even ing. By the terms of the protocol Spain re- linquishes her rights to Cuba, and the United States government may decide that it will not pay duties on such cargoes as was sent in the Comal.
