The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-06-01

not Deen so united, so HARMONIOUS, SO
compact, so enthusiastic as IL Is now.
N. Y. Sun.
What cat and dog kind of semi-cen-
tury 1t must have been, to be sure.
Massachusetts, has fifteen cities with
population OF over 5000 each, and New
York only thirteen. en.-Newport News.
It's nothing to brag of. Put the fif-
teen all together and they wouldn't be a
patch on New York for wealth, wicked
ness or anything else.
IL is not such desirable task to carry
Oh an expensive government In poverty
stricken country.-Philadelphi Record.
Fact, it isn't. Who's doing 1t!
Rev. Dr. Randolph, of st. Georges
Church, New York, has caused con-
siderable comment by recommending
that the congregation of the metropolis
fight the liquor evil with its own wea-
pons. Newport Observer.
So much comment that the Observers
usually well-informed proof reader ought
to know that st. Georges is DR.. Rains
ford, not Randolph's.
President Benjamin Harrison is GER
tainly very felicitous user of the English
language in speeches from car platform.
In that respect he is the first American
we have, a very long way the first.-
Springfield Union.
And from any other kind of platform,
for that matter.
After Harrison aud Blaine have finished
their amiaple little scrapping match for
the Republican nomination we shall be
regaled with the spectacle OF Cleveland
graphing with the unknown for the
Democratic prize. Next to baseball,
politics will be the greatest attraction OF
the season.-Journal
A good Mugwump like the Journal
ought to be betting on the heavy weight;
but our morning contemporary is little
afraid OF its money, so it seems.
Not many years will elapse, presuma-
bly, before the quick tran satlantic liners
will be compelled to make English ports
merely points of call, while their destina-
tions will be the great ports of the Con-
tnent. American travellers bound to the
Continent will certainly not be sorry to
avoid the delays and expenses necessitat-
ed by passing over England.-N. Y. Re
corder.
No, indeed not more so than at pres
ent. Many transatlantic passengers go
direct TO the continent, many always
will. But the majority who cross will
always land on British soil, where lives
people kin of our own, speaking our
language, parent of our growth. The
London season will attract some, the
London sights others. Some go to STRAIT
ford, some to Loch Lamond, some to
Chester and Swansea. Even the big
German steamers, you will remember,
stop at southampton.
Extreme speed is notoriously costly

In the matter of conventions, it is, it
is-D. b. Hill.
New York is an American city. The
greater number of the foreign-born citi-
zens who reside here are Americans, heart
and soul.-New York Press.
True everywhere as in New York.
Wed have been a national shipwreck
long ago if it weren't.
Blair is still candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination. We mention this fact
lest it be overlooked at Minneapolis. is.-New
York World.
Blair is nice old gentleman, but he
isn't in it. He couldn't get the Chinese
vote.
The Brooklyn Eagle hasn't been con-
spicuously identified with the Cleveland
wing of the Democracy in New York. but
it does not hesitate to say that there Is no
question that Grover Cleveland would
poll more votes in New York State than
any other man whom the Democrats
could nominate. Boston Herald.
Only one difficulty here. The Edole
with the brooding Buddha of Lakewood.
