Edwitor Providence News:
Thousands will welcome and heartily
! applaud the News fearless demand that
| our Governor name the Judge whom he
| charges with using 500 to bribe voters
! to secure his election to the general as
sembly. A paper, like the News. honest
enough TO eschew partisan politics and
| commend his Excellency In all his at
tempts TO stop bribery and all his vigor-
| Gus denunciatIons OF immoral practices
! I'm our state, ought most certainly TO be
| credited with a moral courage not al
ways displayed by the press OF the ma
| ton, and in this especial display OF bold
ness In endeavoring to shield the inno-
cent from the foul suspicion, all fair
minded citizens will heartily commend
It's course.
But there are strange rumors afoat
Some think our Governor refers to this
inferior Judge. others TO that one. Some
say II Is a Republican while others affirm
the Judge TO be n Democrat still others
are willing 10 wager a sum OF money that
our Governor has learned the evident fact
that the Judge voted for his Excellency
and that our Governor IS too gentlemanly
as well "a too grateful 10 name one or
his warm supporters.
Governor Garvin Is esteemed as one
of the most courteous and gentlemanly
citizens OF Rhode Island and his reputa-
tion as such Is acknowledged by men Of
all shades OF politics: nevertheless, II he
persists In casting suspicion OF bribery
upon the innocent there will occur n NOR
al and political reversal OF opinion among
men OF both great political parties that
will resemble an earthquake In shaking
up and changing the sentiments formerly
entertained and the only safe course for
his Excellency Il to name the Judge with
out any unnecessary delay. or. lacking
the courage. he should at least name the
locality and thereby shield the reputa-
tion OF the innocent
For example while the horse pools of
North Smithheld and Newport have not
been pointed out as located in any par
ticular building. their localities have been
stated sufficiently near To bring the no.
torius places right up against the Re
publican president OF n council and the
Democratic mayor Of city.
In conclusion: n lot OF either political
numbskulls or scoundrels have created
the false impression that bribery II more
prevalent now than formerly In Rhode
Island whereas thirty and forty years
ago the purchase of votes was carried
on with a brazen efrrontery that no set Of
politicians would dare repeat today
Moreover. from TO n votes were then
purchased openly where one is bought
openly or secretly IN this commencement
OF the twentieth century What would
we think now % the expenditure OF
tso.0oc for the corruption OF voters IN
one OF our state elections.
All honor 90 any man who II endeav-
orins 10 stop bribery In good. little Rhode
Island which stands head and shoulders.

An Embarrassing c;tuation.

What a situation that must have
been at recent reception In London,
where lady appeared in gorgeous
gown looted from the imperial palace
at Pekin, and later in the evening
found herself face to face with the
Chinese ambassador! 1t may be de-
scribed as "curdliEg.' The ambassa-
dor, for moment apparently thought
some lady of the royal family of China
had suddenly appeared in London
drawing room, for the material OF the
gown had never been worn by any but
Chinese royalty. He couldn't conceal
his agitation in meeting an English
lady thus arrayed, but she fortunately
had the tact to leave the reception,
and thus somewhat relieve the embar-
rassment, but the incident, it is re.
ported, will not soon be forgotten by
those who witnessed it. One cannot
envy or pity woman who would wear
a looted gown, transformed though 1T
might be by the fashionable dress.

claret, or mare If SO desired. The
bottles were not to bear the names of
firms or owners Of vineyards, and the
gift was simply intended to com.
memorate the coronation. It is stated
that Lord PEN broke, in his reply, re.
GREETED that claret was not used in the
hospitals Of the country,, but all the
same he thanked the wine growers
who had made this generous offer. 1t
may be true that claret is not used in
British hospitals, but is there any rea-
son why 1t should not be-any reason
so cogent as to cause this excellent
gift horse to be looked suspiciously in
the face? Claret, by which We mean

RAPID AND GOOD FIRING.
American Naval Gunners Prove Them
selves the Best on Earth.


The gun crews on our warships are
doing some extraordinarily accurate
shooting of late On the Illinois, fir
ing at a stationary target while the
vessel was moving, a score of twelve
hits out of thirteen shots was made
with her thirteen inch guns at dis.
lance Of five miles. The gunners of
the Iowa, steaming at twelve knots
past stationary target, made thirty
hits out Of thirty shots with six-pound-
er rapid fire guns. This feat was
accomplished by three gun crews, each
having ten Shots beats all rec.
ords. At San Francisco the submarine
torpedo boat Grampus discharged a
torpedo at range of $50 yards and
struck stationary target squarely in
the center. Anything like this accur-
acy. of fire during a naval enga cement
when as rule one shot in twenty
makes a hit-would make the Ameri-

HOW Gold Nuggets Grow.

Gold in its natural state, like many
other products Of the earth, = is an
article of development. What its
original elements are is still a mat
ter of some speculation, but the fact
has been demonstrated that mug
get Of the precious metal left in its
original environments will gradually,
though slowly attract to itself min
ute particles Of gold dust and after
the lapse of years possesses an added
value. Gold is known to have grown
on mine timbers which haye long
been immersed in mine water.
