FATE OF THE FRIVOLOUS.

To the quintette OF frivolous Goo Coos
who were rushed in where angels fear to
tread by the sassy Goo Goo party ma
chine. an obligation is due on behaff or
their fellow citizens.
They have afforded practical person
al example of what has for three years
haunted tho public mind and tefogged
the vision, known as the strength of
non -partisanship. Ano the stock of
political knowledge hereabouts Is in
creased by their martyrdom.
: Sole and alone, frea from tie contnni-
nation Of partisan backing. pledged only
to Goo Gooism, asking only tho votes OF
such Of their fellow citizens as. like them
selves were independent in tho ughs and
action. bound to no man or party, so
'elp us, the Goo Goo quintstte put their
ears to the sround on wednes lay night
to listen to the thunder of non partisan
ship rolling up from the horizon.
And here is the way it rolled:
Mr.. Rathbone Gardner, who az a
Democrat and Goo Goo in 1897 got 1904
votes, got 1867 votes on Wednesday.
Mr.. George r. McAuslan, who as a
Democrat and Goo Goo In 1897 got 1929
votes, got 1880 votss on Wednesday.
Mr.. Alva Carpenter. who as Democrat
and Goo Goo in 1897 got sO57 votes, got
2lSs votes on Wednesday.
MIR. Cyrus M. vnn Slyck. who as a
Democrat and Goo Goo In 1897 got 1925
votes, got sio7 votes on Wednesday.
MIR. Samuel Ames, who as a Democrat
and Goo Goo In 1897 got 1871 votes got
23si votes on Wednesday.
From which 1t would appear to be
plain that the support OF an old-fsshioned
partisan organization in reasonably
good standing Is not to be sneezed at
when votes and not political aesthetics
are the thing sought.
How truly significant the poetic

THE JOURNAL AND THE ASSEMBLY
Having failed to bullyrag the people on
the State House issue, the journal makes
feeble attempt this morning to tell the
Assembly what to do In the matter. But
as the Republican majority in the As
ssmbiy has heard, but has not hardened
to the advics Of the Journal all winter,
has declined to be dictated to by that
newspaper and has gone its course In the
public interests on question after ques-
tion In direct opposition to the Journals

sufficient justification in an increase Of
Republican strength for the new As
ssmbly. 1t 10 not at Sll likely that either
the latter or the present Assembly Will
pay much attention to the wishes OF the
Journal except such Of them as may have
some other guarantee of representing
Rhode Island sentiment
The grip Of the Journal Is Broken and
the public men who have had the courage
to accomplish the wholesome job will
hardly bow to the yoke which the JOUR-
nal viii doubtless continue to offer them
with that fatuity which ever chnrAets
