the Process of Manufacture.
Would you like to know how to man
ufacture diamonds-real diamonds? The
process is somewhat difficult requiring
time, patience and some outlay of mon
ey, but then consider the possible re-
suits! The diamond, we know, is SIM
ply carbon in a Transparent crystalline
form. 1t comes of humble parentage
and Is brother to the lump Of coal.
Unlike easily crystallizable bodies,
carbon is insoluble in all ordinary solv-
ents, but molten metals will combine
with 1t. Let the diamond maker choose
iron for a solvent for charcoal, melting
it In an electric furnace, allowing it to
take up as much carbon as it can-in
other words, saturate itself with car
bon. The crucible containing the white
hot metal should then be plunged into a
bath Of molten lead. The result will be
that globules of iron will rise to the
surface of the lead and are quickly
cooled on the outer surface. Inside the
hard crust the iron remains for some
time In q molten condition, and as iron
expands in solidifying the contents of
these little globules receive q pressure
unattainable by any other means
When the lead becomes solidified some
bullets of iron will be found bound up
in the mass. Dissolve with some pow
erful acid first the lead and then the
iron, and a residue of carbonaceous
matter will be found to contain tiny
crystals--real diamonds. Any chemist
with a well equipped laboratory can
make diamonds in this way, but the
largest Of them will not be more than a
nftieth of an Inch In dia m eter

IT'S UP TO YOU.

The picture of political conditions in this state
presented by the New York Sun in the article re-
printed in the News-Democrat on Wednesday cut
deep.
Because SO far as its statements OF fact are
roncerned. it was TRUE.
How do the people of Rhode Island like thus
10 be held up before the nation either incapable
bf sef-eovernment or SO Indifferent their rights
nnd with so little pride for the reputation of the
state as to permit Rhode Island to be owned body
and soul by small group of men whose chief claim
no distinction is the success with which they have
6lled their pockets at the expense of the people3
How do YOU like t2
YOU KNOW THE FACTS They are no
kecret.
Have YOU not sufficient self-respect to rebel
against such conditions? Have YOU not the
ourage take your place in the ranks of the grow
Nng army of good citizens who about to fight
NOUR battle for civic deceney and representative
government?
Or, have you A FINGER IN THE PIE your
self?
Things have changed Honest men no longer
need stand alone. 1t requires courage today to
Join the mighty army that seeks to make YOUR
vote count on Capitol HILL to give YOU voice in
affairs that vitality the prosperity, the civic
Eleanliness and the good name of Rhode Island and
NOUR OWN WELFARE as citizen.

LET ONLY JUSTICE BE DONE.

The publication of the testimony taken by the
police commission in the hearing the charges
made by Rev. Mr.. Crsty against Chief of Police
Matthews disclosed little of consequence that was
not already familiar to the readers of the News
democrat
The public is in possession of all the
agreed facts and the contradictory statements upon
which the commission must render decision; and
while there should be disposition to foresta the
action of the board, or to seek in any way to in
Huence its Judgment it would seem that little diff
ference of opinion should exist among those who
9ntegently and without bias have considered the
Testimony of both accuser and defendant
The responsibility resting upon the commits
sioners is a grave one-a responsibility alike to
Mhe parties directly concerned and to the citizens
lof Providence To meet it requires courage, but
bonly that courage which enables an honest man
ITO do that which his conscience tells him is right
and just
The commissioners in their decision on the
contempt proceedings, plainly proved that they
possessed such courage; and the public has con-
fidence that they will act the main case un-
Influenced by popular clamor. by the sinister and
powerful pressure of political influence, or by any
pther considerations than those of absolute justice
Whatever their verdict, they will be subjected

pnly opportunity to protect friends or to wreak
vengeance upon foes; but the commissioners, il
they heed only the voice of conscience, need fear
mo criticism for in the last analysis public senti-
ment is always the side of fair play, of justice
and OF the honest performance of duty as between
man and man.
The restoration of confidence in the police
department-rudely shattered and almost destroyed
by suspicion and fact during the past few years
depends upon the wisdom and fearlessness, clear
headedness and conscientiousness of the board in
the present case and the result of its action cannot
but inure to the good of the city if only each
missioner will follow the advice of Polonius to
Iaertes:
owns be true.
And II follow. rs the night the

courage nor the consciousness of right their deeds
are those of darkness, and they fear nothing more
than the turning OF the light, the telling of the
truth
The reputed reason for delaying the announce
ment of the selection of a senatorial candidate is
that the Democrats and Independents will thereby
be deprived of target at which to aim their shafts
of fact and argument.
This is not only weak confession of the ex-
treme vulnerableness of both of the aspirants for
the prize but betrays characteristic obtuseness in
reading the handwriting on the wall.
Bless you, Boss, the honest voters of Rhode
Island don't fig whose money you take to
make him senator 1t isn't necessary for them to
fight the man. It's the methods and the principles
represented by those who select and back him that
concern the people of Rhode Island.
And those they going to fight to win!
Quit your worrying about the candidate and
trot out your man. You'll have your hands quite
full enough of trouble when the people once thor
oughly get after the rotten foundations on which
the candidate stands and the full light of the truth
is turned on.

RHODE ISLAND AS
SEEN IN BOSTON
(From the Roston Heraldl }

tfTOin the bOslou f1efdluJ
Rhode Island, like Connecticut, has an
antiquated constitution that gives min
ority OF the population living In country
towns more representatives In the legis-
lature that the majority who live in the
cities; and the voters OF the country
towns, under the long training OF Boss
Brayton and Senator Aldrch, have been
corrupted TO that degree that the boss.
with sufficient money in hand, can obtain
such a Legislature as he wants.
Money may not be the only bribe that
is availed Of; but the boss knows the
weaknesses OF the voters. and for many
years has always succeedd i'm obtaining
Legislature to do his will in the election OF
senators as In all other things.
He has been practically the governor OF
the state. and when DR. Garvin was titu-
lar governor he had little power over leg
islation compared with that OF the boss,
who. without public office. had head
quarters in the state house 10 which his
legislative lackeys were summoned Tor IN
structions and form which his orders to
the legislators were issued, orders that
were almost invariably obeyed.
The Republican boss has not yet deter
mined, at any rate he has not yet an

comforting the United States senatorship

sides the independents who think that
Mr. Wetmore has been sufficiently honor
ed. one of these is Col. Samuel Il. Colt OF

Colt of the United States circuit court.
Many who are well versed i'm state poll
ties think that he will be the next sena-
tor. The sentiment in favor of change
is so strong that 1t may not be thought
prudent 10 attempt the reelection of
Wetmore Something will depend upon
the nature OF the bid for popular favor
that Col. Goddard will make in his plat
form and its apparent effect on the pub
lie.
-Twn-thirds- of the population are for
eigners and OF a radical turn; but they
live In the cities, and as already indica-
ted. they will not have just representa-
ton in the legislature.
Significant as the campaign will be In

the fact that I'm New England a candidate
for United States senator has been desig-
mated by popular primary choice In a
