The NEWS" TURN NOW

PROVIDENCE, Oct. 81.
To The Editor Of the Ne,cs:
SIR--You had better look after your
Office Boy. am afraid that he has de
generated TO writing dramatic criticisms
for the Telegram. l Thought noticed MS
free and easy style i'm the alleged dramatic
criticisms in last nights issue of that pa
per. But perhaps DO him an injustice; II
so | apologize.
And in this connection may say that
believe the public will not be slow To ap..
preciate the very complete department of
music and drama which the News prom
ises US hereafter on Tuesday afternoons.
THESPIs.
"Thespis" does the Office Boy injus-
tice. That Young man is very trouble
some, and apparently no power under
heaven will choke off his exuberant
effusions. We can't kill him by sar-
casm, as in the case of the poor un-
fortunate poet of places /; for to sarcasm
the Office boy is absolutely impervious.
| Nothing will silence him but death.
But we don't think he writes for the
| Telegram.
| The News has increased its capacity to
| rival the Telegram by giving false reports.
IL is now eight pages instead of four. 1t
had fifteen falsehoods in eight paragraphs
| in Mondays paper relating To politics In
the Tenth Ward.-Rec0rd.
In Tenth Ward politics, falsehood is
the way the other fellow thinks it is.
The Tenth is as peculiar as the famous
kangaroo of A. Ward.
So far we have To see the first substan-
tial reason why the Democratic party of
Pawtucket should not stand solidly Tor its
platform and its nominees.
No reason whatever, if they are con-
scientious Democrats and prefer success
with Carroll to defeat. But some OF
them don't.
And how does Major Mckinley enjoy
| being told by Mr. Blaine that he does not
| know enough to make a tariff Telegram
Well, the Major isn't complaining.
Seems to me the Telegram loves him
wonderfully just now and is very anx-
ious to spare his feelings.
It is reported from New York that
| Lieut. Gov. Jones means To make some
removals and appointments by virtue or
being acting governor during Gov. Hills
absence in the South. 1t is needless TO
say that the reports come from kepub-
| lican source, and il is equally needless TO
say that they are probably worthy or
their source, utterly false Lieut.-G Gov.
| Jones is not a thorough rascal nor thor
Hustled, who is the author Of the stories,
may think people will believe him TO be-
Telegram.
Probably the report is untrue, but
Jones would be well within his legal
rights in acting as indicated. DE Jure,
he is the governor of New York and has
been since Fill was elected senator. The
trouble with Jones. from the Tammany
standpoint, is that he is "A thoroughly re-
spectacle man.
In effect Mr. Blaine's letter amounts to
! his saying something like this: The
| fault found with Republican tariff pro-
iects last year was solely with Mr.. Nc
| kinley's idea of extravagant duties and
no foreign market and the same fault Is
still to be found with that idea. But
fortunately L was afterwards able TO in
| duce the Senate TO put some or my reel
procity scheme into the bill and to COM
| pei Mr.. Mckinley TO accept the modified
measure, and consequently in the final
form gave il the law Is an acceptable
one. bulletin.
Now, that's what / call real kind and
considerate in the journal or Bulletin
| always get 'em mixed-to translate
Mr. Blaine's letter into Journalese or
Bulletinese, so that we stupid readers
can understand it. Blaine's literary
style is so much inferior, don't you
know!
There were more Democrats than Re
publicans who bolted the Republican
| nomination.
is it not strange that citizens move
ment always results in the nomination of
| a Democrat ?-Pawtucke RecordVisitor.
II is strange, replying to the query,
and it does seem queer that Republi-
cans don't suspect the trick oftener. II
the Record Visitor is well informed, the
number of the innocents is small indeed
this year.
The Republicans are fond Of boasting OF
the decreased price of sugar under the Nc
Kinley tariff. But they say nothing about
the bounty that is paid the sugar raisers
of Louisiana, which is raised by increasing
the duty upon other articles of consump
tion.-Boston Globe.
Say what YOU like about it, it is ar
example of Republican fairness to the
South. The representatives in Con
gress refused TO destroy a Southern in
dustry when they had the power to dc
so. The Democrats in Congress are try
ing to destroy Northern interests con
stantly, persistently, Indignantly.
Since Goodwin does not care for tn,
mayoralty of Pawtucket' this fall, il i.
probable that his friend Carroll will b,
elected d-Woonsocket Reporter.
Oh. You naughty baby! If you kee,
on saying such wicked things, the NEwl
will conclude that you aren't nice littl,
tot at all, but case of arrested develop
ment, sort of journalistic "runt," tha

Now, there's some sense in that. Push
