A FAIR LAND.

This is season when, If ever, the sad
and sour Mugwump should wipe his
eyes and smile. Even the Journal,
which has of late expressed the opinion
that nobody remains on New England
farm who can gather the money or the
energy to leave this section, must be
moved to repentance of its savage
cynicism if it would but open its eyes
upon the fair whiteness and greenness Of
our beautiful valleys and hillslopes as
they lie in the yellow flood of sunlight
and the glory of tree blossoms this per-
feet day OF May.
The New England spring is coy. It
advances slowly. That is, we have a
spring, instead of jumping at once from
winter to summer as happens often in
other sections. There is nothing fairer
in this broad land than the outlook from
every rise Of ground, from every granite
outcrop here in Rhode Island; at the
feet roll the misty, pale green pillows of
apple tree tops, fecked with pink
and white foam. Farther away
lies the warm brown earth,
ready for the crops, or the vivid
green meadows, with here and there a
tall, reddish-brown chimney rising be-
side water course and a cluster of cot
tages gathered about it, with the blue
sky overhead and the paHpplish woods in
the background. Those brown chimneys
give us industrial life in its brightest pos
sible aspect; with the light and the air
about it, and with birdsong at night and
morning to vary the clatter of the
looms.
1t is not true that New England is los
ing its industries; it is not true that this
is failing and a melancholy section. 1t
is true that New England is as beautiful
as the columbine that springs ont OF the
clefts in her rocks, and that this is one
of her most gracious seasons.

pEMooRATIc ECONOMY.

The panic among the Democrats in
Congress is more than a little amusing.
After devoting their energies for two
years to denouncing the Billion Dollar
Congress and promising the country
an annual reduction of at least one
hundred millions in the appropriations
if once they got hold of the pursestrings,
there is natural chagrin and an
equally natural alarm over the recent
discovery by Representative Belzhoover
OF Pennsylvania that the total appropri-
ations of the first session of the present
Congress will exceed by 500, 900, 900 the
total appropriations 10y the "Billion Con-
gress" at its first session.
Considering the growth Of the coun-
try and the inevitable increase in its
expenses rs in its wealth, this might not
seem so distressing; but the Democracy,
you know, is making its record on
economy"

THE FREE PARLIAMENT.
The Norwood school.

To the Editors Of the Ne,cs:
Iwould have agreed with the taxpayer
who so cleverly OH the Sd of this month
represented his side OF the story concern
ing the Norwood schoolhouse, IL it were
true, but taking into consideration the
first statement he made about the num-
ber of houses Ia the district being from
sixty to seventy, would say there are
from ninety to one hundred: the possible
sixty children which he refers to can be
doubled and 80 per cent. of that number
added to it and then not have the actual
number in the district.
1t is true that the average attendance Is
but twenty-eight, the reason for that Is,
not because there are not enough TO fill
the house, but because the parents do not
wish their children 10 attend school anu
sit on the floor. It is thus very easy to
prove to fair minded man that the
present accommodation Is insufficient.
In referring to the unfair valuation
which he so hastely termed q public scan
die, / would say. that there is not one
person against the building of school
house that is taxed for more than $30O0
and those who are in favor OF the errec-
tion of a new building are taxed as high
as $1,000.
Furthermore. the gentleman who wrote
the bill in the issue of May 3 Is not taxed
for S400 in the district, and to go farther
into the subject, there are several of those
opposed to n new house that cannot even
write their own names-a hard state of
affairs in this nineteenth century, but
nevertheless it is true and cannot be dis
puted.
We admit there were but $371.Ss appro-
priated for the district for the past year,
but that was appropriated by an average
attendance of twenty-slx scholars. III there
were an average attendance of 100, and
there would be no reason for not being
that number, IL there were suitable ac-
commodations, the town and State would
be obliged to appropriate nearly 8, 800 n
year, and that would be sufficient
sum to run the school in proper manner.
He also says I'VE We got n church" and
that Is the part Of his argument that puz-
zles me, and have been wondering ever
since as to the connection of the two sub
jects, the church is an altogether different
scheme and is not being built by the dis
trict, but by few private parties.

THE COST OF LIVING.

The claim which is so often made by
the free trade Democrat that, although
wages are higher in this country than
in Great Britain, their purchasing
power is no larger owing to the greater
cost Of the necessaries Of life on this
side of the Atlantic, is one of the points
which Mr.. Willard /. Lansing, Rhode
Islands representative workingman
will no doubt take especial pains to in
vestigate in course of the trip ON which
he is sent by Rhode Islands representa-
tive daily. Meanwhile an interesting
side light is thrown upon the subject in
letter, written last August by Mr..
Thomas p. Smith, of the printing firm of
Smith e. Porter, Boston, who has lived
for some timein London, and read by ex-
Senator Tirrell, of Natick, at the Massa-
chusetts Club dinner on Saturday.
