THE COVE CONTRACT.

Elsewhere in to-day's issue we publish
a letter from a thoroughly-informed au-
thority, telling precisely why the con-
tract for filling and digging at the Cove
was modified to the extent of something
over two per cent. of the estimated cost.
The reasons are, in brief, these The
fact that some solid earth was excavated
instead of soft mud as originally in
tended that some of the work was done
for the railroads, and paid for by them,
and that it was considered desirable to
change the course of the river or canal.
The work of blotting out the old pest
hole which men misnamed the Cove, and
Of preparing for the new terminal facili-
ties of the railroads is one of great diff

THE CHARGE AND CHALLENGE.

1t has been charged by an evening
paper that one Alderman asserted that
81. 500 was waiting for the member of
the Board who would vote for the
" guarantee" of the bonds of the New
York and New England Railroad.
Every one of the ten aldermen of the
City of Providence has emphatically de-
MED any knowledge of any such offer
either directly or indirectly.
The question is therefore one of
veracity between the newspaper and the
individual members of the Board of
Aldermen.
1t now remains for the newspaper
which made the charge to produce the
name of the alderman who is the
authority for the statement or to be
branded as a common liar, a malicious
defamer and n wilful blackmailer of
the character Of public officials.
The executive of the city and the
Board of Aldermen owe il TO themselves,
TO their constituents and TO the commu-
nifty at large to rigidly investigate this
most serious charge of bribery and TO
subject the guilty one to the fullest pen
alties of the law.

Bk. OF Washtenaw

In Massachusetts,, five banks out of fif-
teen were marked broken, and three out
of nine in the District of Columbia were
" stopped" or "closed." Then there
were the cred back money" quotations,
all of New York banks, varying from t
TO par in value. When trade was carried
on in those days it must have been an
endless haggle between buyer and seller
whether banknotes should be accepted
at one-quarter or three-eighths of their
face value. 1t is a significant commen-
tary on the state of affairs thus caused
that Brooklyn, small as it then was,
furnished four columns of tax sale"
advertisements to the same paper.
