Newport r. L. Aug 15.-This was one Of the
hest davs OF the season at Newport and there was
enough going on to keep the cottagers on the 90
from morning until night. In the morning there
was tennis az the Casino, at noon wedding, which,
however was made a quiet family aHaiF; IN
the afternoon a fox hunt and practice game OF
polo which, however did not attract many spec
tators. and in the evening numerous dinners and
luncheons. with large reception. which was at
tended by many OF the cOttaseTs.
The weather was such that it gave every one new
life. and IL seemed If all turned out at the Ca
sino during the concert hour, those who were nov
interested in the tennis thronging the horseshoe
piazza 10 listen to the music Aside from this the
cottagers had something 90 talk about over the
Burden robbery scare. and when Mrs Burccn ap-
peared at the Casino during the morning she was
surrounded by her friends all anxious 10 learn the

Mr.. Whitney responds 90 the call OF duty to
his party under untoward conditions. His
avowal of his candidacy comes late. His issue
is tariff reform. and this year the edge is taken
off &c by the fact that his opponent. Governor
Guild. displeases the Home Market Club. An
other year, with different sort of Republican
candidate, would be Mr.. Whitney's opportunity.
Besides. if defeated in the Democratic
State Convention Moran will run and split the
party. Mr.. Whitney's strong campaign last
year for Lieutenant Governor deserves better
reward than duty candidacy and the leader
ship of forlOrn hope. He is sacrifice to the
Democracy's dire need of self-preservation. He
enters the breach TO prevent his party from de-
generating into a mob personally conducted by

GOOD. BUT BELATED.

Justice GaynOr would have averted a great 7
deal of disgracefui disorder and great deal
of hardship 10 misguided persons and their in
n0cent fellow travellers if he had made his
statement Of yesterday several days ago. Per
haps if he had foreseen the evil use which
would be made of his opinion he might have
so worded il as TO give in il TO the public the
warning of its limita tions which he now gives.
1t is pity that when he first saw that 1t was
made the excuse for disorder he did not at once
take steps TO prevent his judicial action from
being so grossly abused.
Better late than never. While Justice Gay
nor is firm in the belief that the 1O-cent fare
is illegal, he says: THE railroad company was
mot a party TO the case before me, and that
makes a difference in respect to how far it Is
"bound by my decision and he advises every
body TO pay the 1Ocent fare. That ought to
quiet the agitation 1t is time for Mr.. Coler TO
give up inviting fellow officials TO make them
selves popular heroes by fomenting riot, and for
we'll meaning citizens to stop encouraging that
empty headed teacher of the doctrine that dis
order is a at road TO the attainment of legal
rights.
New-York tribune., 1906-08-16
THE REPUBLICAN, SITUATION.

Ex-Governor Odell was fully within his rights
in expressing his objections TO the denomination
OF Governor Higgins. The Governors friends
are within their rights in their desire TO have
him again become a candidate. 1t is fortu-
nate for the party that the opposing opinions as
20 the course which il should pursue are at last
being frankly declared. The avowal gives the
rank and file of the Republican voters a chance
20 understand the real issues 10 be tried out in
the coming state convention, and tends to make
the action of that convention a more than
usually emphatic indication of the true spirit
Of the party. A convention of delegates who
are forced squarely to consider the personality
Of possible candidates and the character of
possible leaders, and choose with open eyes. is
much better than a convention in which the
real issues that everybody is thinking about
never come to the surface.
The vote in the state committee yesterday
showed a surprisingly even division between
the Higgins and Odell forces. with Mr.. Odell
tactically, at least in the better position, owing
to the strange absence of the member from
Governor Higginss own district. This advan-
tage may be merely temporary or its pres
tige may give the chairman opportunity to
strengthen himself still further. Governor Hig
ginss friends have been handicapped by the lack
Of an avowed candidate. Mr.. Odell is making
war directly on the Governor as a candidate.
while the Governors friends have been able
neither to fight for his nomination nor to rally
around anybody else standing for the same
high ideals. Governor Higgins. for what are
no doubt Weighty reasons, has SO far not seen
fit to give the supporters of his administration
more than an abstract principle to sustain.
Now that the issue has been joined. he will
probably find it desirable to announce his in
tentiOns without much more delay.
Whatever may be the result Of the rvalries
exhibited yesterday in the state committee, it
must be evident that the party in order to sue
ceed must put forward a man in sympathy with
the progressive reforms which have character
lied Governor HigginsS administration. That
is the record which the campaign must be
made. Even the opposition hope for moth
ing more than to induce the nomination OF
somebody in harmony with the Governors pol

In the southern part of the town many pieces %

worth five and six times that amount, is being
valued accordingly
President RCOseVelts assessment will be on $40

most, If not all, of the subscribers whose ca
