Ayers Pills.

For loss of appetite, bilious troubles, consti-
patton, indigestion, and sick headache, these
Pills are unsurpassed.
"For long time was a sufferer from
stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, expe-
riencing much difficulty in digestion, with
severe pains in the lumbar region and other
parts OF the body. Having tried variety OF
remedies, including warm baths, with only
temporary relief, about three months ago
began the use Of Ayers Pills, and my health
is so much improved that gladly testify to
the superior merits of this medicine. -
Manoel Jorge Pereira, Porto, Portugal.
For the cure of headache, Ayers Cathar-
tic Pills are the most effective medicine l
ever used"-R. X. James, Dorchester. Mass.

! he liver

When out of order, involves every organ OF
the body. Remedies for some other derange-
ment are frequently taken without the least
effect, because it is the liver which is the real
source of the trouble, and until that is set
right there can be no health, strength, or
comfort in any part Of the system. Mercury,
in some form, is common specific for slug

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-12-28

With all the vigor at its disposal, the
NEWS will insist upon the metropolitan
character of Providence, as distinguished
from most cities of its size east of the
Mississippi. Although the census of
1890 puts the population at less than
1874 900, it ranks, in character if not in
size, with such cities as Boston, Balti
more and Philadelphia, rather than with
Albany, Rochester, Pittsburg and other
cities which might seem to equal it in
Importance, if judged merely by the
census figures.
The distinction may seem at first sight
unimportant, but it is not so. To be me-
tropolitan in character q city must have
not only splendid hotels, spacious stores,
progressive government and sufficient
size to lend dignity, but it must boast
also ample educational advantages, a
cultured society, accumulated wealth
and the opportunities for philanthropic
endeavor which it brings, pronounced
artistic tone; and all these Providence
has. It must be the centre and mart of
considerable surrounding population
and this Providence is in very marked
degree, its "area of influence" as the
European politicians put it, fully cover-
ing the State and extending well into
Massachusetts, and Connecticut along
several well defined lines of travel.
To take for an instant familiar exam
Piles. Newark, N. j., Poughkeepsje, N.
Y, and Worcester, Mass, are cities not
greatly differing from Providence in av-
erage size and distance from larger
cities; yet how far each falls behind
Providence in many, perhaps, most, of
the metropolitan characteristics we have
enumerated. They are mere appen-
dages of New York and Boston respect
lively. Providence is independent of
larger centres. Even the great over
grown town of Brooklyn with nearly
seven times our population, is far less
metropolitan. 1t has no public library,
no stock exchange, no university for
either sex. III mad not Till very recently
any high school except a miserably in
efficient one in rented building de-
signed for quite other purposes. 1t has
an art association in name, but it is NOR
ibund. It's newspapers are less enter
prising, without other compensating SUI
periority, than those of Providence; and
we wish to include our contemporaries in
this comparison.
The people of Providence ought to be
proud of their city. All Rhode Islanders
ought to be proud of it. And all should
rejoice in the bright prospects of mate
rial advancement before it, and aid in
every way possible to keep it abreast
of the times,

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-12-28

THERE is something to be said both
for and against the proposition of George
@. Mason, Jr., that it would be well to
erect at Chicago, previous to the Worlds
Fair, duplicate of the old mill at New
port. Whether the work of Norsemen
or prehistoric North American tribesmen'
or by later hands, it is still one of the most
valuable archaeological relics we possess.
But would duplicate have the interest
of the originate And viii there be no
difficulty about the expense, which will
be considerable?

RIVERS AND HARBORs.

The appointment of William Steele
Holman of Indiana as chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations is gener-
ally taken to mean that the present Con-
gress is to make its record before the
country for economy" If the cue of
the Democratic journals and speakers is
to be taken there will be an especially
obstinate dead set against river and
harbor appropriations.
Yet il would not be difficult to prove
that Indiana is nearly if not quite as
as much interested in waterway inn
provements as the seaboard States. IL
is directly and obviously interested in
the development of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers for purposes of commerce.
1t has itself no great lake port, but Chi
cago is, except in name, as much lake
port Of that State as of Illinois, while De
troit performs like service for a smaller
section in the northeastern corner of the
ested in the Hennepin canal, project
which has been much abused but which
would prove of immense value to the
country. and at Detroit only few days
ago a Deep Water convention was held,
which urged upon Congress the neces-
sity of constructing canal from the
lakes TO tidewater 10 admit craft of over
20 feet draft. and a corresponding deepen
ing of the lakeports and straits. The
advantages of system which would
admit ocean vessels TO our great lake
system, and permit direct communica-
ton between Chicago. Detroit, Cleve-
land. Milwaukee and Buffalo with any
seaport on the globe need not be enlarged
upon. In time of peace for commerce,
in time of war for ready intercommum-
cation, the canal would be valuable
possession. Manchester has dug or
nearly dug a great SHY canal fos a single

Quite the most important statement
affecting Mr.. Blaines willingness to be-
come a candidate for the Presidency is
that of Senator Washburn of Minnesota,
who corroborates authoritatively the
impression which has for some time pre-
vailed among people of sense that Blaine
is in no sense candidate; that he will
accept nomination if it seems to be the
will of the party that he should do so.
and that perfectly friendly under
standing exists between him and Presi
dent Harrison.
This is all that the Republicans of the
country want. If Mr.. Blaine is willing
to accept nomination there is no donbt
that il will be rendered to him. From
Maine to California he will have the
delegates of nearly every Northern State.
President Harrison will fare much better
in the South and local feeling will un-
doubtedly hold Indiana, but the voice of
the States which elect Republican Presi-
dents will have weight in the convention.
He will be nominated. More; he ought
TO be nominated. He is the one Republi-
can with whom success is sure. With
amy other il could only be likely. With
President Harrison 1t might not even be
likely. Gen. Harrison has given the
country good administration and he is
man Of marked ability, but a President
makes many enemies in his own party.
Mr. Blaine commends himself TO his
countrymen by his magnificent courage
and by the fact that he is above all
statesman a man whose name will
stand in history with those of Pitt and
Gladstone, Hamilton and Webster. He
has been called second Henry Clay,
hut he is greater than Clay. That great
genius had little taste for study and was
not noted for thorough knowledge of his
subject. Mr. Blaine garners the fruits
Of wide experience in a marvelously
