Automobiles Are Popular.

This is pre-eminently a season of auto mobiles at the Pier. The roads are in fine condition A favorite trip for automo- bilesA from the Pier is to Point Judith Light, a distance of about eight miles, The road leads along the shore of Narra- gansett bay and commands a beautiful view of sea and country. To the vest ward automobilists may visit Wakefield and Peacedale, charming inland coun- try with picturesque lakes and wooded country roads, For those wishing to visit Newport the Boston neck road is traversed to Saunderstown. At that point a ferry connects with the island of James, town, with ferry connections on the other side to Newport.

Had Him off On Time.

From the Atlanta Constitution. An aged Bellville citizen engaged the town poet to write an obituary on a late friend of his, and the following was sub mitted:
 He left this world of sorrow
 In another world to shine,
 And reached the heavenly portals
 Just as the clock struck g." '"The only trouble about that" said the old man, lis that he didn't leave here till 12.'

Saturday for Entertainments.

Saturday evenings are evidently to be the most popular for entertaining this season. There are always more men here at the week end, and, consequently, no difficulty in getting large and equally ball anced parties together at that time. Last Saturday MT. Pembroke Jones inaugural ed the delightful custom of dining in the open air. Mrs. Jones had her tables spread on the terrace in the open air at Inchiquin, and the change from the in- doors proved delightful as well as novel.

Takes Desperate Chances.

IEis true that many contract colds and

THE TARIFF PLANK.

1t is well understood that Judge Par
convention to adopt platform upon
which his candidacy should be placed but
simply, as when Tilden was endorsed
to present resolutions merely touching
upon some of the leading issues. In pur-
suing that policy Mr. Hill made the mis-
take of writing straddle plank on the
tariff a plank that means anything or
nothing The Democratic party in the
country would stultify itself by even con
siderng going before the people on that
the tariff will necessarily be command
ing issue.
What sort of declaration ought the
Democrats to make on the tariff? The
answer it: Re-enact word for word the
tariff plank upon which Tilden was elect
ed in 1876, or upon which Cleveland was
elected in 1892 The Tiden plank Is
shorter and therefore better, as we sec
it, but the 1892 plank is as sound as the
best dollar ever coined. 1t was denounced
ana dDuSeu III 1857, DuL OpPOHCiit Souiu
ever find a flaw in It.
The Democratic party will win if it is
honest, straightforward, and true to its
life long principles. upon the great ques-
ton of taxation. If it adopts such an eva
sive and abstruse straddle as was put IN
the New York resolutions it will not de-
serve to win.
Give us the tariff plank Of either 1876
or 1892, or put them both in one, and we
will win in 1904 as we won in 1876 and
IN 1872 Parker as the candidate and the
form, with the other up-to-date planks on
trusts and Imperialism, would appeal to
the independent voters and a united De
Inocracy

EVEN HENRY A. PAGE.

The Morning Post devoted half a col
umn yesterday to an attack on Mr.. Hen
nv A. Page This would seem to indicate
that Mr.. Page is getting to be wiser ana
.ounder politically. The Post hasn't adj
mired Mr.. Page as much as it formerly
did. since he made that eloquent speech
for the Watts bill in the Senate Chamber.
The Post always rides on the whlskey
barrel. 1t seems that it fears Mr.. Page
will not lend himself to the ends of the
McBee- Finch conspiracy and, in advance
OF the report of the committee, wishes to
lnjure him in the eyes of the people.
Heretofore the Conspiracy Organs have
been praising Mr.. Page. because he stood
with them in the effort to defeat Clark
(Mr. Page never got to their low Level
by advocating Russell for Chief Justice)
and, by consent, denouncing the other
four men on the committee-gentlemer
just as honest and just as patriotic as Mr..
Page. But because Mr.. Page declined TO
make a cuckoo answer every time the
Posts Southern Railway wheezy engine
lOOlett, COLueS III lOI d IeDuhc lIoh tIO
Conspiracy Organ. The purpose is plain;
the Post knows that its charges OF cor
ruption in the management are as fase
as hell and stink to high heaven II
knows that the committees report VIII
give the situation just as it Is, pointing
out the mistakes of management, the no.
tel failure Oknown by everybody since 1t
closed last September) and any othei
errors on the one hand. and showing, or.
the other hand that the service Is much
better and the equipment far better than
in the history of the road, and that the
cash value of the stock of the road is
twice as high as when Mr.. Bryan took
charge.
The people wish the true facts. 1t is
because the Post thinks Mr.. Page, as
well as the other members of the commit
tee, will present the truth. regardless OF
McBee's ISLANDERS or Mr.. Bryan's policy,
that the Post wishes now TO discredit
him. No honorable man. who refuses to
do the bidding of the Posts railroad crew
of wreckers, or who is suspected of being
unwilling to take dictation from them,
or who stands for temperance or decency,
fails to secure the disapproval Of the Post.
Not even Mr.. Henry Page escapes Will
fication.
