WASHINGTON, April 4.-The state de-

DI RUDINI's FERyoR COOLED.
New York, April 4.-The Mail and
Express has cable from Rome on the
present situation. Friends of the cores
pondent and Premier Di Rudini OBJ
tanned a statement from Di Rudini. The
premier said he harbored none but the
most friendly sentiments toward the
United States. These had really not
been disturbed by the action which he
felt called upon to take as q representa-
tive of the Italian people, upon being
officially made acquainted with the New
Orleans affair and the position which
Blaine was obliged to take in the matter.
He had no intention of pushing any de-
mands he had made, but only to protest
against what he was led to believe at the
time was neglect on the part of the
United States to protect the lives of
Italian citizens in America, under the
provision of the treaty. He expressed
himself as aware that to do anything
more at this juncture, would be a grave
error on his part, as he had perfect con-
fidence in the sincerity and justice of
the United States. Finally he said: 81
am now simply waiting further details
of the New Orleans affair; the characters
of the slain men, of the Louisiana au-
thorities and of the intentions of the
United states government; but what
ever these may be, l am quite sure that
settlement thoroughly satisfactory TO
both parties will be found, and that the
friendship which binds the two nations
together will remain unalterable and Sc
cure"

"a TIN PLATE prEM. :,

Under this suggestive heading the
News yesterday recorded the fact that
the Corliss engine works Of this city are
building 600-horse power engine for the
Somerton tin plate works in Brooklyn,
n. Y, which is nearly finished and
ready for shipment
The free trade contingent in this coun-
try is fond of asserting vociferously that
there are no tim plate works in the coun-
try. The records of the building de-
partment in Brooklyn show the Somer-
ton works, not yet completed, TO be an
enormous mass of buildings, with heavy
foundations, thick walls and spacious
area.
With all due respect to the free trade
contingent, the Somerton people do not
build an enormous structure and order a
G0O-horse power Corliss engine for a
political bluff. Dear friends, there must
be something in it. You will have to
drop that tin plate. 1t is getting hot.

THE ADVANCE CLUB ADVANCING.

The leaven of progress works slowly
and il seems ut times almost impotent.
Ostensibly the Advance Club was organ
lied with the single purpose of promot-
ing the industrial improvement of Provi-
dence and with the watchword "pro-
gress' as its motto the ideal was high.
The narrow escape of the club at its
recent meeting from becoming the mere
tool of political Office seeker shows how
almost impossible it is for any active
body Of men TO take part in public affairs
and still not become the prey of politi-
cal machine.
That the club has awakened to this fact
Is shown by the motions for expulsion Of
some Of its members, as well as the open
condemnation of the unauthorized COM
initial of the club to economic doc
trines which the members as a whole do
not approve. The action is commend
able one.
When this good work of wedding out
shall have been done the club will pro-
badly also be freed from that element
which cannot distinguish between prog
ress actively advocated and the destruc-
tive criticism Of the acts of public
officials. Perhaps the best question to
ask critic is, Are you willing TO un-
dertake to do in better way the work
you now condemn y The question is
pertinent to the case in hand. Certain
members of the club have criticised the
City Council for what it has done in the
franchise matter, for what il has done in
the Springfield railroad matter, for what
II has done in the electric car service
and III fact for almost everything il has
done since the Advance Club was organ
lied. Now the critic is not much of a
factor in this age, but if the judgment of
these critical gentlemen is so much
superior to that of the city's officials the
way is open to remedy the present condi-
tions. 1t is briefly this: Do not waste
time in talking with closed doors. Come
out before the people, present your ideas
to the voters, and If they seem good TO
the people the offices are yours to admin
ister.
If you can do better than the present
officials indicate your confidence by tax
ing actual part in the management of
the city's affairs. This progressive age
calls not for criticism so much as action,
and that citizen has no right to criticise
the action of public officers who is not
willing TO offer himself and his ideas to
the test of public approval at the polls.
THE News wishes the Advance Club
long and prosperous existence. II will
do all in our power to aid the club in
every legitimate and progressive step it
may take; but il also hopes to see it es-
cape from influences which are detri-
mental to its successful accomplishment
of the work set before it.
