FUCKERS DISCHARGE.
Interest in His Successor-Future
Plans.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Who will be
Horace fuckers successor as general
freight agent of the Illinois Central
road? was the question most frequently
asked IN railroad circles today. No one
could answer it, and in the absence of
President Fish and Vice President Han
rahan, none of the subordinate officers
OF the company would venture an opin-
ion as to who is the coming man. Let.
tiers and kilograms have been pouring
in on MI. Tucker all day, expressing
regret at his sudden and surprising dis
missal from the company. to whose
service he has given the best years of
his life. Among them were several of
fers of appointment to important posi-
tons. Mr.. Tucker says he will take
time to decide as to his future course.

bright new American flag was seen
floating from the flagstaff Oh the Frank

cape in the rear of the building and run

unobserved. Although the Flagstaff was

MeSerOle shortly after the shooting.
When young Meserole was acquitted of
the charge of murder Mrs. Larbig's suit

of winning. Gen. Meserole heard last
week that Mrs. Larbig was in straight

take the action referred to.

AT WOONsOCKET.

At Woonsoclet last evening Mr.. Cor
man was wiser than Mr.. Wardwen.
Mr.. German had been charged by
LEsperance with favoring a head tax on
French Canadian immigrants and this
he denied in manly and vigorous fashion
and called upon Mr.. Pothier to support
his denial. If Mr.. Pothier's recollection
of the 1880 episode agrees with Mr..
Gorman's, we shall be very glad to con-
slider the matter settled once for all.
But Mr.. Wardwell has been charged.
not only by the Woonsocket Reporter,
but by Mr.. Isaac f. Williams of Bristol,
with paying men from 10 cents to 81 per
day. Both the Reporter and Mr.. Will
liams have offered to produce reputable
men who will swear to this. But Mr..
Wardwell took no notice of the matter.
We repeat Mr.. German is the wiser
unless Mr.. Wardwell's defense is very
weak.

MIR WILBUR AGAIN.

In his speech last evening the Hon,
but politically dishonest, Mark ID. Will
bur made another of those marvellous
misstatements which are fast making
him notorious. He admitted that wages
are 80 per cent. higher in this country
than they were thirty years ago, but
claimed that the cost of living had in
creased in more than like proportion.
This is not argument. 1t is pure lying.
Mr.. Wilbur had reached mans estate
thirty years ago, and he knows as do all
but the younger voters, from personal
experience that wages have in many
cases increased much more than 30 per
cent. and that the necessities of life,
without one single exception but rent in
thickly settled cities and towns, are far
cheaper than they We're thirty years
ago.
1t isn't necessary to give figures.
Flour, pork, calico, woolen and cotton
cloth, axes, dinner pals, carpets, kero-
sene, coal-there is not one item of
household expense which is not cheaper
and great deal cheaper.
Mr.. Wilbur, by such reckless state
ments, leaves his fairest critics in doubt
whether to call him fool or liar.

he is able to declare also with his hand
on his heart, that "McNally and are
friends Carroll must go into literature.
The NEWS will take no denial. His
views ON friendship are absolutely with
out parallel, and would be read with in
terest in every Rhode Island Democratic
ward meeting. The world is not con-
tent to let such genius pine without re-
cognition. Sooner than such a mishap
should chance the News here and now
makes this offer: it will at its own proper
cost set in type, print and distribute an
exposition from the pen of Mr.. Carroll
of his views on
Love renned and purged from all It's drosS
AS strong as passion IT, though pot 50 gross.
When will Mr.. Carroll favor an eager
public and send us his manuscript!
Pawtucket may yet be proud of him as
the profoundest essayist and philosopher
of his generation.

woMEN's WAGES.

The NEWS is sorry that it is obliged TO
take back some of the words of approval
wherewith it greeted Mayor Honey's
answer concerning the wages paid TO
his printers.
IL will be remembered that the News
called public attention TO the fact that
Mr.. Honey was paying low wages upon
his new paper the Herald, and that Mr..
Honey promptly revised his determina-
tion and raised his rates for composition,
for men, TO the regular night scale. AT
the time we assumed that all wages
had been raised TO scale, which was
clearly the impression his answer
was intended 10 convey. But il
appears that this was not the
case. Mr.. Honey, after that notice
was published, continued to hire
women for day work at less than half
the Providence rate for such work.
We do not think that an organ pub
lished in this manner will do the cause
of Democracy any good in Rhode Island.
IL VIII call the attention OF workinglnen
again TO the utter heartlessness with
which Democratic employers, while pro-
Tossing the utmost love of the working
man in general, underpay those whom
they themselves employ. 1t is a curl
GUS coincidence, certainly, that Mr..
Carrolls paper in Pawtucket and the ex-
organ of minority Democratic faction
in Providence, have, like Mr.. Honey's
paper, earned the hatred of workingmen
by their skimping and unfair conduct.
1t is perfectly easy for Democrats to
make high-falutin speeches about the
rights of labor. Judge them by their
acts. Judge Honey and Carroll and the
"Brennan gang" by their conduct
as employers, not by their words as

The World began its Rhode Island
norance. II cannot find out" wrote the
first man dispatched to Providence, in
his first report TO Mr.. Pulitzer of st.
Louis and Austria, what is the matter
with McNally."
The World has picked mp since scrap
or two of knowledge in these plantations
to repay it for the disinterested O. inter-
est ii has taken in them. II has been
able, for example, TO crow exultingly
over Brooklyn contemporary because
it could spell the name of one of the
candidates for Governor, even though it
has never found out the figures of the
Governors salary. 1t has learned too that
it could place little trust in its local
party allies, and that when they said
they couldn't hire halls because the
greedy Republicans had gobbled them,
they were only looking for decent
cover TO hide the fact that they them
selves were too indifferent to contribute
the rent money.
But as to the original point--and some,
yes, several others-the original lack of
information has remained. The World
is unable TO see that anything is the
matter with Mr.. McNally, and it takes
occasion TO extend to him the assurance
of it's most distinguished consideration
by inviting him to be its presiding officer
next Wednesday evening, TO hob-nob
with its ex-Confederate Southerners and
its free silver Westerners, and its Tam
many congressman; to introduce the
free trade crowd to protected Rhode
Island workmen and to smile from his
lofty stage elevation upon Captain Jack
Brennan gnashing his teeth below.
The World is right; it may be con-
graduated on its discrimination. Mr..
McNally is "A good Democrat, truer TO
his party than the disgruntled ex-organ
of q minority faction which is urging its
readers to stick the knife into him but
the World with its other bits Of Rhode
Island wisdom must have learned the
sad truth by this time that the splits in
the Rhode Island Democracy cape too
wide for stitching together, and that it
really isn't worth the cost of a special
train to bring half Washington to be
confronted with an audience a good pro-
portion of which will DE more inclined

will give them the best of excuse after

DEMOCRATIC MONEY.

The News is cheerfully willing to ad-
NIT that the amount Of money raised by
the Rhode Island Democrats for cam
paign purposes is probably not as large
as il has sometimes been, and that even
the legitimate expenses of the campaign
might suffer somewhat if help were not
coming from outside. A curious feat
ure of the campaign, as illustrating this
fact, Is the now well known circum-
stance that the cry of the Democrats
about the Republicans having hired all
the halls was due in large part to Demo-
cratic unwillingness TO put up the nec-
essary funds. Realizing the hopeless
ness of the campaign they wanted to
save hall money and gas bills and car
riage hire. "Can't hire any halls" they
telegraphed to New York. "Bosh," an
swered New York. in the terse language
used by those who know what money will
accomplish. And New York. represented
by New York World man, came to Prov
idence and showed that hall could be
hired by hiring it. Thus even the min.
utest details Of the campaign in Rhode
Island are bossed from New York, while
the local leaders sulk and hold on TO the
coppers they know it would be useless
to spend.
But though contributions in this State
have not been over-generous, there is
plenty Of money in the campaign on the
Democratic side. IL costs mint OF
money 10 run the World as a Rhode
Island organ, and there are no cor
responding returns to be looked for.
