INDIGNATION AROUSED.

The last resort of the Journal to mako
malicious personal attack, simply. dis
closed the motive Of It's more hypocritioai
assaults on the proposition. IL is not the
public interests that the journal socks to
guard. lt Is not the proposition to issue
the bonds that the Journal objects to.
But IL Is malice against the board of COM
mlssioners that prompts its opposition.
This is SO scandalously plain today that
tho whole community, rsRsrdless Of pre-
vious differences Of opinion, shades OF be.
lief or QuestiOninRs as Co the financial
side Of the proposition, nre sunk in the
general indignation ut the Journals In
famous attack on gentlemen who are en-
TITLED 10 have, and who nave. In this pub
lic work. ms In their private business, the
trust md confidence Of their fellow citi-
Gems.
HOW THE COMMISSIONERS FEEL.
The members of the Board OF state
House Commissioners, of which only
few are resident In this city or have
business here, are naturally reticent.
Indeed, they feel that it Is not their
privilege or place 20 resent such an scur-
rulous attack In kind In the public press
and that their personal characters and
regulations are secure In the hands OF
their fellow citizens from such blather
skite assaults on thom. There is some
talk OF signing protest among the COM
missioners resenting in digni1ei Ian
guage the unoalled for insult and person
ally, OF course, they all feel indignant as
they have right TO do.
AS one well known manufacturer ex
pressed 1t this morning: IF were a
mem Der OF the stats house coInmi issioD /
should feel like saying something bat 1t
would not te fit to print" And the
Journals utterapces were Likewise unit
for print in felf-respe citing new spnper
which had not lost all sense OF dscency,
dignity and ssIf-control In its desperate
eaaerpess TO attack privats character.
Another business man declared the
Journals utterances to be the most
scnrrilous matter he had ever had the
misfortune to read.
The proposition ought tn 60 through on
"Wednesday and 1t is confidently believed
that, by large majority, Rhode Island
citizens will vote Yes" IL there was
any doubt about this before. the dirty
attack OF the Journal has made IL prac-
iically certain. The assault was a
boomerang.
