The Democratic party, with their most
recent ally, Mrs. Cougar Of Indiana, who
is somewhat incorporate of speech,
though she talks for Prohibition, take
some pleasure apparently in continuing
their denials that tin plate is

well for the south and east. The west
must be considered now and especially
the northern section of the city, in many
respects the most neglected of all.
Rapid transit TO Pawtuxet and Centre
dale will greatly enhance the value of
property in those directions. The city
should not be behind the real estate
speculator in appreciating the future
value Of lands, but before him. Toward
Pawtucket, also, further park area
might well be preserved against the
time when the cities 'run together"
But that is not all. Smaller parks
must be opened in the centre of the city
itself. To speak with perfect frank
ness, there are slums, rookeries of old
buildings, in more than one quarter near
the very heart Of the town, which might
well be replaced by pretty parks and
squares.
And it would pay in the long run.

THE "vALLY OF THIS REMARK" /"

The cheap and noisy accusations con-
stantly made by the Telegram against
citizens and officials remind one of a
scene in town meeting before Provi-
dence became a city. A citizen arose,
and after stating that depredations had
of late been frequent in the town,
moved the appointment of two watch
men, one for each side of the river.
The motion was seconded by a person
of shady reputation, when the mover
glared upon the seconder and exclaimed,
" He second the motion, Mr.. Moderator
Why, he is one Of the cusses we want to
watch" AS Capt. Cutie observed, "the
vally of this remark lies in the applica-
ton ont"

THE" NEWS" TURN NOW

The Telegram has constantly opposed
the extension OF the city parks at this
time on account of the large expense in
volved. The park system is now ample
for the city's requirements, we contend.-
Telegram.
Then the Telegram is utterly and en-
tirely wrong. Prof. Augustin Jones
conclusively proved at recent meeting
of the Advance Club, that Providence
lags far behind most other great
cities of the world in park
acreage relatively to population.
Any real estate dealer will say that the
city can well afford TO open more parks,
that the increased taxable valuation of
adjacent lands will cover the interest on
the expense, besides the benefit to pub
lie health, morals and happiness.
The trouble with the Telegram is that
it doesn't like to see money spent for
anything except city advertising.
The fear of the influence Of Platt and
his ilk is what keeps great many of them
from supporting the Republican ticket,
and il must be confessed chat this is some
thing more serious than bugaboo. .-Bos-
ton Herald.
The Herald is too able paper to mis-
use dialect. His ilk is. in the connec-
tion, atrocious. 1t is atrocious anyway.
Stick to English if you can't get the
Scotch right.
1t is almost as fashionable to be a Mug
wump in Pawtucket now as it was three
years ago to be stalwart Republican,
Bulletin.
The precise degree Of Mugwumpery
fashionable in Pawtucket will be ascer
tanned after election.
President Harrison has responded to the
demands of the situation in Chill in very
spirited manner. Perhaps he had had n
bracer or two of his imported Scotch
whisky. There is nothing like that frey
liquor to put man in the mood for fight
ing.-Chicago Herald.
The President doesn't drink whisky
and the Herald knows it. And so does
Mr.. Carnegie.
Again the Democratic party has reason
TO thank God that Lieut. Gov. Jones was
not named TO head the Democratic State
ticket. He has demonstrated n uuerul-
BUSINESS, petulance and childishness i'll fit
ting his official position and standing in
the State.-Newburgh Register.
That's because Jones refuses TO be
swallowed by the tiger, like Mr.. Cleve-
land. Sensible act, say we.

socket has ii right this time. 1t is
blush-compelling act TO print Carroll
editorials.
No, Mr.. News, Carroll, whatever may
have been his faults, was never a boodler
or political pirate. His worst enemies never
have accused him Of dishonesty but of
being sometimes seen in bad company.
We prefer him to White because. as you
argue for your candidate in pawtucket.

WOMEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

The nature and arrangement of the
exhibit Of women's work to be made at
| the Chicago exposition seems to be mis-
understood in many quarters very curl
ously. The New York Recorder saws.
for example, 4" for the first time women's
work will be set apart from that of the
other sex, and her contributions to pro-
/ gress and civilization can be seen and
studied by themselves. To this end
there is woman's building" etc.
Now the one thing which is to differ
entiate the woman's exhibition at Chi
cago most markedly from any which has
been held before is that woman's work
will not be set apart from that of the
other sex, as mt all previous expositions
ithas been. The women who have most
at heart good showing for the progress
and achievements of their sex have seen
most clearly that this was not to be
had by setting certain things off by
themselves, as made by women. On the
contrary it was their first stipulation
that women's work should be shown be-
side mems work, not divided from it nor
marked off in any way. One great gain
which is thus accomplished is that the
immense number of articles produced by
the joint labor of men and women are
to be credited to them jointly, not as
heretofore to men only.
The Woman's Building is not intend
ed to hold any part of the industrial ex-
hibit of women. 1t is to be women's
headquarters at the fair, and to afford
room for display and practical demon
stration of their methods in hospitals,
schools, refOrmatory institutions, ETC.,
illustrating with model kitchens, kinder
gartens and the like, the varied parts
women play in lifes drama. OF the reg
ulation fair exhibits sent by women from
different States, it will hold not one ar
ticle.

WHATEVER the Massachusetts, or
Rhode Island Democratic Congressman
may say respecting his undying opposi-
tion TO the free coinage of silver, it is
well TO remember that as the time for
action approaches, the majority of the
party is the party and takes command.
Free coinage is one of the demands
made in all but two or three Of the Dem
ocratic conventions and that party is
thoroughly committed TO it. That issue
is carefully kept out of sight by the
Democratic orators in Massachusetts,
and Ohio. but later on it viii be heard
