A most terrible fatality occurred In
the town OF Eas. Providence about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, whereby
the three cLlidren of James Brassill, a
farm laboror. were burned TO death,
although the mother of the little ones
did all in her power TO save their lives.
The awful tragedy occurred In a
small cottage situated in a little clear
ing in the woods, between the old
Swansea road and the road to Cres-
cent park, about a quarter of mile
east OF ST. Mary's seminary. Here
James Brassll lived with Lis wife ava
five young children, the father gaining
a NV lihood by working on the farm
OF the Mcbride Brothers In the neigh
borhOod. Just how the fatal fire orig
mated is not known, but II is believed
that il was caused by one ~ the chill
dren lighting paper at the stove.
Mrs. Brassll was In an adjoining
room yesterday afternoon when she
heard a cry from the children. and
turning toward the kitchen she saw the
whole room in a blaze She rushed 10
a craure In which was lying a baby
only a few months old and seizing the
infant she called 20 the otner children
10 follow her at once out OF doors.
when she reached the yard Sne lounu

house 10 save her children. This. how

she tried TO enter the room TO bring

terror OF the children seems TO have
been too great or. perhaps. they were

calls.

American principle Of free and I'M
trammeled vote.
That Mr.. Carter should lend his eff
fort to advance the interests of any
machine seeking to control the Repub-
lcan Party is not to be supposed. That
he should play into the hands of ma
chine politics of any character Is
doubtless highly distasteful to him
and any for whom he may speak. Yet
machine politics Is the practical out
come OIL the proposition advanced. 1t
merely increases the difficulties Of en-
rollment, shuts out a large number
who through business engagements
may nc unable To enroll their names
and gives the manipulators plenty Of
time to operate.
The object of party work is to obtain
as many voters as possible, not restrict
the number by hard and fast dulles
which take advantage OF degree Of
political indifference existing in all
communities.

A MACHINE MEASURE.

One of the suggestions made by Mr..
Carter regarding the holding of pri-
maries Is that the registration of Re-
publicans close twenty-four hours pre-
yious to the voting for delegates to the
district convention. Just what IL to
be gained by such a course is not VET
made manifest. Certainly it will ac.
complish nothing in combating ma
chine politics. 1t Is in fact a method
highly approved by all machine politi-
cans and productive of corruption at
the primaries and the fixing" Of tick
cts to assure the election of machine
puppets to the conventions of the party.
With the registration closed previous
to the day set for balloting, full op-
portunity is given for the machine
manipulators to 60 over the lists, pick
ant their men and select those who
are amenable to the cajolery and IA
vors of those who have other ends tc
accomplish than the fulfllment Of the

THE OBJECT OF 1T.

Harpies Of the morning organ have
carried their campaign of jealousy and
spite to such lengths, that the object
of their nefarious work shines out in
marked contrast to the principles of
majority rule which they pretend to
uphold. There Is not a single incident
OF the tempest in tea pot, into which
these people seek to force the RepuDli.
can Party, to prove the assertion that
any attempt has been made to force
corrupt rule upon the Party or that the
men charged with being machine poll
ticians have been eXerting their eff.
fort to any other purpose than the sue
cess of the Party in Honolulu and
throughout the Islands.
Clash of opinions there must he and
they will continue in evidence so long
as the people take an honest interest
In political conditions and enlist their
effort to secure for the Territory the
popular and successful government
that will gain the support of the peo-
pie. the workingmen as well as those OF
high intelligence and assumed super
iority. When this clash of opinion
reaches the point Of making unfounded
charges against men whose loyalty 10
the Party cannot be called In question,
who accept the will of lie majority
though believing the course taken will
carry the Party to defeat, the only OBJ
ject of such an attack Is to uiscredit the
Party before the people and force It's
defeat at the polls.
This campaign of misrepresentation
was taken up by the morning organ i'm
mediately after the wednesday evening
meeting and is continued to the present
to the utter disgust of every honest
Republican and every true hearted
American. The campaign lies uttered
by this organ have been repeatedly
proved. 1t has Haunted before the peo-
pie machine cry that has not one ele-
ment of fact or honest political rea-
son.
The eventual result of the Advertiser
policy, IL it had the least chance for
success. Is to continue in Territorial
politics the old warfare of mission
airy" and "anti-missionary," "royalist"
and "annexationlst.' This old fight
1t apparently prefers rather than the
and division of both
these old bitter fighting forces on the
broad political lines of the Republican
and Democratic parties. The people, |
however, will not have 1t. The morn
Ing organ is simply accomplishing its
own undoing which 1t is free 20 con-
'.nue until its howl expires in the
death rattle following the apoplectic
ut brought on by its jealous and spite
ful rage
