There is no question that the NEWS has
exactly hit the popular view Of the Bor-
den case. 1t Is the topic OF universal con-
versation on the street, in the shops and
in public conveyances. It's surprising,
too, how many PROVIDENCE people know
something about the Bordens. A man on
a street car told me the other day that
clerk in his Office had gone to school with
Lizzie Borden. and remembered her as an
extremely bright scholar. You can't
tell me" said this gentleman, that the
character and good reputation OF SO many
years counts for nothing"
II. b. Little tells this story which hap
pened few days ago. An engineer was
surveying some land bought by the city
for yard. He left his instrument for a
few minutes aud on returning could find
no trace of it. After astime an Irishman
came driving up with the Instrument in
the bottom Of his wagon, well shaken up.
"Faith they sent me for a kedge anchor,
an tho't it was that, shure, and kerried
itoff," said he.

candidate has its regulation lesson for
the party that prefers ruin to regulation.



The inefficient, thriftless and unruly
majority Of the House of Representa-
tives has received no more vicious scor-
ing at the hands of partisan Republican
sheets than it is forced TO submit to
from the New York San. OF the weak
and ludicriously apologetic figure shut
fling I'm which Mr.. Holman has indulged
himself the organ of Tammany says:
There could be no more striking illus
tration of the folly of the irresponsible
Democrats in the Fifty-second House
than is afforded by Mr.. Holman's attempt
to defend the record OF the majority In
the matter of appropriations. 10 MAKE
showing of retrenchment Mr.. Holman
In Obliged to. compare the total with the
figures for the second session OK the isll-
the first session, where the com
parison properly belongs. The ke-
publican spendthrifts OF the Billion
Congress made way with S494, 400
24s of the peoples money at their nrst
session. At their second session the to-
tai grew 10 $54l $50, ,672 The figures Tor
this first session of the Democratic Fifty
second Congress are s507, 7Ol. $50, or Si3,-
245 1872 more than at the corresponding
session of the Billion Congress. Mr.. Hoi-
man Is forced, therefore, to set this first
sessions total against the second session
of the Fifty-first Congress; an unnatural
proceeding.
Mr.. Holman's evasions are dishonest
though even the Sun is not bold enough
to bring out this fact clearly. Brer
Dana does, however, say with emphasis
that the record of the Democratic
House in the matter of appropriations is
a betrayal of the voters who elected it
on the issue Of economy, a reputation
of its own professions and promises, and
a shame and disgrace to the party" He
says also: ALREADY the attempt
has begun to explain and ex-
cuse and extenuate the failure
of the overwhelmingly Democratic
majority to fulfill its mission. This
course is regarded as good campaign
policy. We do not think so. We be-
lieve that it is good campaign policy to
state the facts exactly as they are, to
hold Democratic sinners to their
full measure of responsibility.
Good campaign policy or not. the
course Brer Dana recommends is the
only righteous one, but If it be faithfully
followed will the people commit the
egregious folly of sending another DEM
ocratic majority to Washington to imi-
tate the reckless, selfish and criminal
extravaganza of the money scatterers of
the Fifty-Second Congress?

Returns to Secretary Fisher of the State
Board of Health indicate for July great
increase of diarrheal diseases compared
with the preceding month and especially Y
of cholera ipfantum In the compact COM
munities. Taking the State at large the
amount of general sickness in the rural
districts was not above an average of the
corresponding month in preceding years.
Compared with the preceding month, in
number of cases, and number of places
prevalent, bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsili-
tis and Group had largely diminished,
while diphtheria, typhoid and malarial
fevers, measles scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough remained about the same.
Diphtheria was reported ,as having quite
large prevalence In the vicinity of Caro-
lima, measles in the city of Newport and
whooping cough In Pawtucket.
No epidemic prevalence Of any disease
occurred during the month. There were
five cases of smallpox in New Skoreham,
the disease having been introduced by a
passenger on steamship Prussia One
case terminated In death. Compared
with July, 1891 the mortality from
cholera morbus was more than twice as
large in July, 1892, and of other intestinal
diseases the difference was nearly as
large.
Compared with July, 1891, the mean Of
barometic readings in July, 1892, was al
most exactly the same; the mean temper
ature 3 1-10 degrees higher; the mean rela
tive humidity 2-l00 less; the mean veloc-
ity of the wind one mile per hour less; the
mean amount of cloud III less, and the
amount of rainfall IL inches less in

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-08-13

The New York World to-day prints a
very sensational political story to the
effect that at least sixteen Republican
senators believe the defeat of Benjamin
Harrison to be necessary for the pre-
servation of the Republican party. 1t
descends' to particulars and says that
these senator's have all expressed this
opinion after comforting together and
carefully considering all the arguments
on both sides. Here are some of the
arguments:
Four years more of Harrison. they say,
will so disorganize and disrupt the party
that 1t will be impossible TO pull 1t to-
gether and elect another Republican presi-
dent for twenty years.
Therefore they have come to the con-
clusion that Harrison's defeat is the only
thing that can save the party from total
wreck.
The above information comes to the
World correspondent from an absolutely
reliable source.
His informant is member of the Senate
who holds high position in the councils
Of the Republican party.
This opinion Is believed to be shared by
nent members Of the House of Represent
atives
1t is impossible to exaggerate or over
state the feeling OF hostility that exists
towards Mr.. Harrison among the major
ity OF the Republican leaders in both
branches Of Congress.
The names of the Senators supposed
to be concerned in this treason are given.
That is to say, the coolly World assumes
that all those members of the upper
House who were opposed to the noinina-
tion of Harrison are now opposed to his
election. These are, it is well known.
Messrs. Quay and Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania, Walcott and Teller of Colorado,
Jones and Stewart of Nevada, Petit
grew of South Dakota, Hansbrough Of
North Dakota, Power ami Sanders of
Montana, Washburn of Minnesota, Du-
boif and Shoup of Idaho, Squire and AL
len of Washington, Stockbridge and
McMullen of Michigan, and Casey Of
North Dakota.
These men were entitled to their
opinion as to the wise course at Mime
apolis. There is not the slightest
reason for libelIing any of them.
But even if these senator's did secretly
oppose Harrison they couldn't prevent
his election. A single senator could
freeze Grover Cleveland ont of the
White House. His name is Hill. Look
to him, Mr.. Pulitzer.

Cleaning up
Prices!

They prevail throughout
our store, just now-for OBJ
vious reasons.
Stocks are pretty low
even remnants and the odd
accumulations which distin-
guish the seasons ending, are
pretty much reduced. And
the bargains that are left
from the past two weeks of
our Midsummer Sales are
greater bargains than ever
before. A tour of inspection
will discover many things
that you want, at prices lower
than you would be likely to
name yourself if you were to
"bid" on them.
Another thing-important
improvements now in pro-
gress, which will necessitate
a rearrangement of many de.
partments, make us the more
anxious to thoroughly clean
up stocks, and not at all
backward about cutting prices
way down to do it.

wHITNEY.s ENGAGEMENTS.

The Mugwump press, which has had
malicious things to say about Wanna
makers experience at the bargain coun-
ter, may find itself forced to regret that
William G. Whitney has not had better
training in the legitimate and necessary
art of dickering. Mr.. Wanamaker,
when he was actively in the drygoods
business, was obliged to advertise his
bargains, and accordingly they had to
be real bargains but Mr.. Whitney has
been trading in secret, and if he has not
pledged the same thing to two or three
different people at two or three different
prices he has certainly contracted to de-
liver various things of which various
people deny his ownership.
: Mr.. Whitney went to Chicago to nomi-
nate Grover Cleveland, and to that end
he bargained fast and furiously. He
made his best deal with Richard Croker,
and the consideration he offered that
gentlemanly assassin was written
pledge from Cleveland to turn over to
Tammany the whole federal patronage
of New York State in the event
of success, if in return Tam
many would refrain from indulging
before election its natural propensity
for knives. This was great and genu-
inc bargain, but unhappily the knowl-
edge of it came, however dimly and in
what distorted lights, to Grace and to
Fairchild and to Anderson. Now, these
blossoming dandelions cherished the de-
lusion that the pouring out of their money
and the unstinted spending Of their
labor and their time entitled them, if
at any time there should be spoils, to
certain share in the division. They
made heated remarks to Whitney and
Murphy, Sheehan and Croker poured
less choice but hotter assortment into
his other ear. Some brunt of the dis
turbance was carried by the winds rs
far as Buzzard's Bay, and the fisherman
prophet thereupon sent one of the let
ters, for which he is chiefly famous,
to the dandelion group entreating them
to hold their peace and trust Whitney.
They held and trusted for the time being.
for the command of the prophet was not
to be gainsaid, but when the cruel war
was over, and through devious channels
there came to their knowledge fresh
particulars of the Cleveland hitney-
Croker deal, then indeed they said to
themselves, "can we suffer this sale to
continue?"
Maynard was to be run for Chief
Judge Of the Court of Appeals, the
campaign funds were TO be handled
wholly by Hillites and the Tammany-
Hill men were TO have absolute control
of the Assembly candidates and cleo
tions. Maynard is the blacklist of the
dandelions' black beasts and the dande-
lions had a clever plan TO elect enough
Assemblymen TO prevent Tammany.
