Presumably Mr.. Crisp of Georgia will
have the speakers eye" well developed,
and it will be interesting to see whether
the young Massachusetts Democratic rep
resentatives who wouldn't vote for Mr.
Crisp are sharp enough TO catch the afore-
said eye. A Democrat who bolts q caucus
nomination doesn't count for much in a
Democratic house.-Boston Journal.
II has been given out, on what seems TO
be unquestioned authority, that Gen
Grant of Minnesota will succeed Mr..
Proctor as secretary Of war. In itself con
sidered this choice would be wise one
from the executive point of view, as Gen.
Grant, aside from his general qualihca-
tiOns, has n practical familiarity with the
duties of the position. Whether the APP
pointment will strengthen Mr.. Harrison's
chances for a second term cannot now be
foretold.

the indications are that they will not
again touch the level Of a few weeks ago.

the Alliance bosses and held their crop,

New York must get along with one-half
the representation to which she Is en-

being, as the credentials of Senator-elect
Hill were not presented on organization,

traitor Jones must be kept out of the exc
cutive chair at Albany, and the grand lar
ceny of legislative seats accomplished. IL

State, but under demoralizing influences
she seems to have lost much of her old

The Democratic organs are already
notifying Postmaster-Gen Wanamaker
that most of his suggestions to a Demo
cratic Congress will fall upon deaf ears
In this we are again reminded of the pos
sible results of a conflict Of partnership in
the executive and legislative branches of
the national government. Some Demo
Gratis are already accusing Mr. Wana-
maker of advocating extreme paterndlism.

The reports of the various depart
ments at Washington are always inter
esting TO business men, but this years
report of Secretary Foster of the Treas
ury is more than interesting. 1t con-
tains the detailed accounts of the coun-
try's financial operations, the effects of
the tariff upon trade, the effects of the
silver law, the effects of reciprocity, all
of which will be instructive if not salts
factory to Democratic free-traders and
free-silverites as well as TO calamity
Mugwumps.
IL is encouraging TO note that despite
the predictions of theoretic Mugwumps
that we should be flooded with foreign
silver as "a result Of the new coinage law,
this country has not become the dump
ing ground to any appreciable extent of
the refuse of foreign silver. During the
whole years operations of imports and
exports, we gained but $2,745, 1868. BY
the operations of this same beneicent
dumping ground" law which the Mug
wumps say must be repealed,
we have been enabled TO stand a net
drain of $67 ,9l6, 76s of gold and yet re-
tain per capita circulation of nearly
S24.50, be enabled to move the largest
crops for years, not only without any
stringency but with monetary ease, and
these facts are all the more pertinent
when it is remembered that last year we
passed through months of severe strin-
gency caused by the demands for money
for moving crops that were but two
thirds the usual amounts.
In face of these truths the demands of
the Mugwumps for the repeal of this
law is only equalled by their infatua-
tion with their own biassed theories on
other kindred subjects.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-12-11

The failure of the police of New York
to complete the Identification of the
crank who attempted last week TO kill
Russell Sage and blow up the Arcade
building by the explosion of dynamite
seems TO have demoralizing effect upon
the force in that city and Brooklyn.
Men have been taken into custody for no
other reason apparently than that they
were possessed of harmless hobbys, that
they We're excitable or that they Were
not proficient in the English language.
One of the latter class was arrested by n
Brooklyn policeman on Wednesday. He
was a German who had been sick and
was out Of work. He bore good char
acter, and in the neighborhood where he
resided was known as man OF peaceful
and harmless habits. During the days
of his prosperity he had purchased some
bonds of the city of Hanover, and when
his ready money ran out he attempted to
dispose of one of them. The broker TO
whom lie offered the bond for sale would
not give him the figure he asked and he
returned to Brooklyn with the bond in
his pocket. He was naturally excited at
his failure to realize what he
had anticipated and complained of
the brokers' obduracy to an English ac-
quaintance. The latter could not I'M
derstand him well but he heard the word
cloud" spoken with Teutonic infection
and to him, with mind filed with fears
of dynamite and explosions, it took the
sound of bomb" With that as a sub
ject he rapidly construed his other
broken words into threats to kill some
person, and calling n policeman he
caused the poor Germans arrest. The
report of the arrest says the police
man handled the man gingerly as
though he expected every moment
that an Internal machine would be
dropped at his feet. When the officer
with his prisoner arrived at the station
house the sergeant evidently believing
that his life was in danger ordered the
man taken TO Court in the patrol wagon
at once. The Judge and his assailants
heard of the approach of the supposed
fiend an d FASTENED away, and when the
wagon arrived the Court room was
empty. The innocent German was then
hauled back TO the station and locked in
cell while bowling mob that had heard
that one of the associates of the Sage
maniac had been arrested swore at him
from safe distance.
There was really no cause for the ar
rest of the man. He had done nothing
except 10 excite the mind of one whose
mind appears TO have been unusually
sensitive 10 fear. He had committed no
crime and had not attempted TO commit
a crime. He had made no threats that
the policeman who arrested him was
aware Of. He had violated no law of the
state nor any ordinance of the city. His
arrest was little less than an outrage.
The police of the big cities are too apt
TO commit outrages Of this character. II
their disposition in this direction con-
tinues 10 advance il will be dangerous
for man 10 go out in the street with his
necktie awry or with the third button of
his vest hooked in the fourth buttonhole.

A SONG or CHRISTMAS.

Only q Christmas ballad.
sung TO Q careless throng;
There were mono that know tho singer.
And few that needed the song:
Yet the singers voice was tender
And sweet as with love untold:
Surely those hearts wore hardened
That is left 90 hard and cold.
She sang Of the wonderful glory
That touches the woods In spring.
or the strange soui-stirring voices
when "the hills break forth and sing."
OF the happy birds low warbling
The requiem OF the day,
And tho quiet hush OF the valleys
In the dusk OF the cleaning gray.
And one In . distant corner
woman worn with strife
Heard IN that song q message
From the sprin gtims of her life.
Fair forms rose up before hor
From the mist OF vanished years.
She sat in a happy blindness.
Her eyes wore yelled In teara
Then whom the song vas ended.
And hushed the last sweet tone,
Tho listener rose up softly
And went on the way alone.
Once more to her life OF labor
She passed. but her heart was strongI
And she prayed God bless the singeri
And. oh, thank 6od for the songr'
