AS L WAS SAYING.

"Why don't you advertise your hotel?"
asked guest In this city the other day.
people won't know where to find
il and you will have to trust" Hold
on, you can't work that on me. / don't
trust" exclaimed the proprietor, and the
man did not finish the sentence, trust to
luck to get customers"
'It is side issue, going out of your
house" said smart youth, as he left after
a call at a pretty cottage, with the en-
trance from the lawn on one side.
Very many funny things were said in
explanation of the eclipse Sunday even
ing One lady explained that it was
caused by a planet getting between the
moon and the earth. another was puZ-
zled when told that the moon got its light
from the sun, because she said, How can
it get light from the sun when it is not
shiningP'
"We have been to see Tammany," said
boy TO his mother yesterday afternoon.
The mother was puzzled until told that
Tammany was the tiger which lives at
the park and eats the fat Of the land.
"Did you ever notice how long the peo-
pies noses are in Providence" said lady
who was stopping in the city. .At home
the peoples feet are too big. My feet are
all right here, but really feel as though
l was out of fashion on account Of my
nose notice that most of the men wear
shoes which are too short. Now at home
the men wear shoes of very large style,
too big for them"

THE TICKET STANDS TOGETHER.

The attempt to show that the Ma yor
is responsible for all the legislation which
the City Council enacts. is absurd. If
the legislation was proven to be unwise,
which is not the case in regard to that
on which the greatest stress is placed, it
would not affect the Mayors action until
it came 10 him for approval. The fran
chise act about which SO much
has been said, has not yet
been decided in the council. II
the representatives of the people should
decide in favor of it after the full dis
cussion it would remain to be seen
whether their action was approved.
There seems to have been no tremend-
ous uprising of the people in favor OF
the denomination of those members of
the Board of Aldermen who voted against
il. and about all of those who voted for
it are renominated.
The attempt 10 single out Mayor
Smith, who so far has had the least to
do with it and who has been re-nomi-
mated by party which represents the
largest part of the tax-paying popula-
ton of the city, for attack by Demo
cratic paper and paper which always
aids the Democratic party is plainly an
attempt to use whatever weapons can be
improvised TO get into power party
which does not in any way represent
the traditional elements of greatness
which have built mp the business sue
cess of Rhode Island. There is no
disposition TO make an issue of the
franchise question except as 1t was
started and fostered by Democratic
partisans. as has been shown by the
hearty denomination of the present city
government. Now that the Republ-
cans have shown the unanimous ap-
proval of their representatives in the
City Council, it only remains for them
to be reelected.
Personal abuse of them and party mis-
representations should be punishable at
the polls. The same papers which
are now trying to elect Democratic
mayor would be likely TO turn ON him
and abuse him if he did not favor their
own particular scheme. The city affairs
are the peoples, and are not to be judged
on the basis of whether they suit the or
gans of a party which can only hope TO
succeed 10y making white appear black.
The little schemes of certain Democratic
politicians in this State have not been of
such nature as 10 make the people anx-
ious to turn over the city's affairs TO
them.

tury of experience has been lived at
Deerfeld, Mass, says that 2,647 scholars

the city of annual taxation and allow the
