A BOSTON ToyNBEE HALL.

Boston, it is stated, is TO have a Toyn-
bee Hail." The movement took form
at the Union Congregational Church last
Sunday, and will be called the Andover
House Association. 1t is planned to take
a house near the corner of Washington
and Dover streets, and to make it the
centre of work like that done in the
Whitechapel district of London, or by
the Forsyth street guild in New York
city.
The central idea is that of actual resi-
dence in the district chosen, with intelli-
gently sympathetic study of its social
elements, the formation Of clubs and
classes and the forwarding of social
Christianity. The work has unlimited
possibilities of good, and not few Of
harm, especially if it be handled on the
English lines, the virile independence
which n very brief residence in this
country generates resenting a touch
from outside but the spirit in which
the work is undertaken is earnest, de-
voted and sincere.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-10-21
PAwTUCKET INDEPENDENTS.

According TO the not unfriendly reck-
oning of the Journal, there Were twenty
nine persons present at last nights meet
ing of the Sherman independents in
Pawtucket. This seems TO indicate that
the great popular movement in favor of
a third-party candidate is not materializ-
ing so rapidly as was expected.
Another cause for comment is the
fact that of the original Republican
independent hackers of Sherman,
several of the most prominent-and there
never were nevere tnan bakers
dozen un all-were conspic-
uous by the big chunks of vacuous
space noticed where their corporeal
presence was expected.
Altogether, it looks as if the Republi-
cans can elect their mayor, and what is
quite as important, good working ma
jority in the city board, if they go at
it with will.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-10-21
THE M'KINLEY LAW.

The Journals new paragrapher this
morning has characteristic fling at the
Mckinley bill, in which he says that
"if the Mckinley law had really done
all the injury to Europe that some of its
advocates claim for it, in the way of
shutting up factories and throwing men
out of employment, the people over there
would not be able to buy our grain in
the quantities they are now. This prac-
tice of trying to strike down the indus
tries of our neighbors, if it could be
made thorough success, would be
found very speedily to be one that cuts
both ways"
The Mckinley law was not designed
to pauperize Europe but to prevent our
own land from pauperization. Is man
to be accused of wishing to give his
neighbor small pox when he has himself
vaccinated? incidentally, of course,
the tariff has greatly harmed the
Welsh tin men, the Bradford
and Leeds textile operatives, the
Crefeld knitters and spinners, the pearl
button makers of Vienna and others,
but the folly of their own governments
is primarily responsible. To apply all
the resources Of civilization in preparing
for a great war is not the way to steer
clear of famine, that twin scourge of
short-sighted humanity, when short
crop comes.
And the reality of the suffering in
Europe is not to be denied by the Jour
mars editorial columns, when its own
news columns offer such convincing
proof of it. Many in Europe can buy
our grain and many stare actual starva-
ton in the face. We are sorry for them
but we must protect ourselves.

Prairie Taste.

The chief feature of Sinbad as she Is
produced in Chicago Is legs. This is
strong proof of the claim made that the
human Imagination is in its decadence
The Oriental is satisfied with "A sight of
beauty fully draped. He sees a pair Of
bright eyes and gets glimpse of a tiny
white hand through a lattice, and IL CON
tent 20 let his imagination do the rests
The modern either has no imagination
