The tin plate liar has arrived at such a
state of decentralization as to call for sim
cerest pity. He still lies, for 'tis his ma
ture to and with the brazenness of des-
peration, but in his heart it is impossi-
BILE that he should not know he is
downed.
Such Democratic papers as pretend to
print the news without doctoring it
were obliged to give place in their col
umns this morning to an interview with
George B. Morehead. of the firm of
Morehead q Co., Of Swansea, South
Wales, who is in this country making
preparations to remove the company's
works to Elizabethport, N. J. The firm
is long established one and until the
passage of the Mckinley law was pros
porous; but now, says its responsible
agent, the tin mines of this country are
being so rapidly and so extensively de-
veloped that it will be found cheaper to
import steel plates and dip them into
American tin than to attempt to con.
tinue the manufacture abroad.
Mr.. Morehead says that two other
prominent Welsh tin manufacturing
firms are planning the building of ex-
tensive plants in the West, and, having
these things in knowledge, he probably
reads the effusions of the Mugwump
press with an amusement equaled only
by surprise. 1t must interest the rest
of Christendom to see how adept the
average Mugwump has become in the
art of holding his eyes closed.

as an essential part not only Of our
city's existence, but whose own exist
ence depends upon their equitable
treatment of their patrons in the city.
Nevertheless if the arguments of
monopoly and ''class legislation" We're
forcible six months ago, they are four
fold more so according to the recent
evidences Of legislative favoritism. The
class legislation then proposed was for
four corporations doing quasi-public
service, completely and efficiently salts
flying all demands made upon them.
The class legislation now enacted en-
ables only one corporation to secure a
special franchise ON liberal terms, while
the three others are still left exposed to
the dangers against which one has been
protected.
1t is not meant by this that the Legis-
lature has erred in passing the bill. 1t has
not. Any large enterprise whose field OF
work is exclusively confined to one com
munity should have certain right to
protection in that community. This
right has been granted to the Union
Railroad Company. But the perplexing
point is why these rights have been
granted to one company and not to
others. If there is justice and reason
in the case of one corporation, there is
equal justice and reason in other similar
cases. Each one of our other quasi-pub-
lie corporations has been here for years
and the quality of service as well as the
honesty of their management has never
been doubted by anyone who looked
carefully into them. Even were it SO
the restrictions which were possible un-
der the now innocuous franchise law
wonld have rendered all attempts at ille-
gal or exorbitant practices unavailing.
Nevertheless it is become evident that
one has been favored and the others not.
The thoughtful citizen would like to
know why, and he will want to know
with far more eagerness than now if in
the future our Legislators should refuse
when they are asked to grant similar
rights to others. Precedent is a power
full factor in legal work, but when pre-
cedent is combined with common sense
and justice it can hardly be safe to over
ride it.

THAT MILL.

A particularly nasty piece of business,
but one quite worthy of its instigator,
if not its author-Boss Carroll of Paw
tucket-is this statement with refer
ence to the success of Woonsocket in
securing the new mill, printed in the
Pawtucket Tribune:
All along, however, 1T has been no secret
that certain capitalists were continually
throwing cold water on the project.
They were afraid that IL a big mill was
located on the Plains 1t would make the
First ward Democratic.
Now isn't that ridiculous and contem-
tible at once? Pawtucket gained 1921
per cent. in population from 1880
to 1890. and more than proper
tionately in wealth and mass of
business. 1t was Republican enterprise
that did this. Is Republican enterprise
likely to destroy its work? Was it not a
Republican who offered free site fer
the new mill?

rHE DANGER OF LEGISLATIVE FA-
vORITISM.

Public opinion on the franchise ques-
tion has been so persistently and par
tisanly misrepresented for nearly year
now, that it may be pertinent to con-
eider in brief the issues and the facts.
The Union Railroad Company has Sc
cured by a special act from the Legisla-
ture, with the sanction of the city au-
thorities, practically the exact privi-
leges which the city could have
granted it under the original fran
chise act passed in May session
of 1891. 1t is not now necessary
TO call attention to the fact that the
Joint special committee of the City
Council having the contracts in charge
never had thought of granting exclu-
sive privileges tor period of fifteen
years, nor is it necessary on the other
hand to note that in the distant future
the city may possibly charge more than
3 per cent. on the gross earnings of the
company for those exclusive privileges.
The questions for the community TO
consider are the broad grounds of OBJ
lection to tins &c called class legislation /:
the reason why those objections were
pertinent and potent six months ago and
why they are to-day thought to be both
fanciful and futile. We were told
when the bill originally passed, that il
contained the "promise and potency"
of all the ills to which the body polite
could become heir in its dealings with
soulless corporations. The corporations
were described each as hydra-headed
octopus in whose grasping tolls the
Democratic spirit of our institu-
tions was TO be strangled. Pictures 70
that effect, so appropriately labeled
that there was no mistaking their
meaning, were freely circulated by ire
sponsibie parties, and such arguments
appealed TO those whose thinking is
done by others. But that time is
passed, and we have come to look upon
these corporatiers as We should, namely

Hecla is in the throes of a great
social sensation. James HolbOrn, a
banker and leading business man, has
been holding improper relations with
a Mrs. Head. The irate husband,
with revolver in his hand, was one
Of the party to discover the pair.
Holborn has fed the country, leaving
a wife and family. Mr.. head has
long suspected that his wife was too
intimate with Holborn and set a
trap for their detection. He let a
friend into his secret and both
watched. They saw Holborn go to
Mrs. Heads rooms and in Short
time they forced their way in.
Holborn was badly frightened and
made his escape, carrying part of his
clothing and leaving part. When
Mrs. Holborn was apprised of the
situation she ordered her husband to
leave the house, which he did. He
has left the state.
