The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-01-15
THE NEWS TURN NOW

1t needs no argument To convince any
one who knows them that the prominent
Independents In this and New York Sate
will vote neither for Mr.. Hill nor Mr..
Blaine Indeed, the list Of excluded can
ddates might be considerably prolonged.
Boston Herald.
So the Columbian party starts out
with the Boston Herald. New York
Times and Post, Springfield Republican
and Providence Journal as its organs.
1t will not lack able advocacy. What 1t
will lack is the votes.
The fact that corn bread disagreed with
Mr. Blaines digestive organs should not
discourage those enthusiastic patriots VINO
are trying to introduce 1t into Germany.
1t is food for men who work.-New YORK
World.
And il is also prominently foodfor
men Of sedentary habits, who are apt TO
iniure their digestive organs by over
much meat and bolted -four. Graham
and corn breads, plenty of fruit and
vegetables and fruit and meat once day
is good general rule for food, to which
of course there are exceptions.
IL would be interesting TO know how
many members of the General Assembly
which is soon TO convene in Providence,
while forming good resolutions on the
first of January, resolved to drop partisan
politics and legislate only for what they
believe to be the right, and for the pubic
good. Westerly Tribune.
When the News feels particularly
ugly, when the sun hasn't shone for
week, the devil and one stereotyper sick
with the grip. and the telegraph wires are
grounded, we always turn to the West
erly Tribune, with trenchan. shears
gaping for silly paragraphs, and are
never disappointed. Probably all the
assembly members mean to do their
duty. Probably none of them mean to
drop partisan politics.
The question of selecting successor for
Platt az the head of New York Republi-
canism is simply a problem OF finding
some Republican who has none Of Platts
characteristics, qualities or methods
Journal.
On the contrary the new leader must
have many of Platt's characteristics
virile Republicanism, personal popular
ity, aggressiveness and persistence. There
are worse men than Platt.
| It is hoped that Congressman Lapham
of Rhode Island may be successful In his
attempt to give the figures of the exact
condition of the United States treasury,
so the people may know how Uncle Sam
stands financially Worcester Post.
Lapham has nothing at all to do about
! il. except offer the resolution, and then
sit still while Calico Charley Foster and
his clerk get out their slate pencils and
| do the sum.
&c nh ha
| cratic men in the House unless they hold
a caucus and designate who their leaders
on the Aeef shall be.-Newport Observer.
They have chosen their leader by the
usual method. That is, they have elect
/ ed a Speaker and he has appointed a
| leader of the House, Mr.. Springer. To
hold caucus for his deposition would
| be so unusual an action as TO widen the
breach in the divided Democracy.
| Boston wants "a five hour train to New
! York, :" but would Boston really risk its
| travel over the New York and New Eng
! land at that rate of speed. Springfield
! Union.
Bless your heart, yes. When Boston
man does start for New York he's In
such hurry to get there he'd ride on u
! cyclone or straddle telegraph wire.
Immediately Mr.. Springer announced
! his scheme for an international monetary
| conference, Senator Teller (Rep intro
| duced a resolution to effect it, Talk about
stealing the enemy's thunder
But Springer did the stealing. An in
ternational conference is good Republi-
! can doctrine.
There appears to be little discrepancy
| in the case of DR.. Graves. 1t is stated
that the emotion for. suspension is de-
med,r and this is followed by the state
| ment that he will undergo suspension in
! February. Chicago Post.
This is a sorry jest upon serious sub
! iect. The Post man wouldn't feel so
! funny about if he were in that con-
| demued cell.
While Republican journals are de-
| nouncing the refusal of the present Dem
| ocratic Congress to appropriate $4,000 of
] the peoples money TO send grain to Rus
sia, they do not give the reasons for this
economy.
The extravaganza of the last Congress-
the Republican "billion dollar Congress" :"
necessitated the greatest economy.-Paw-
tucket Tribune.
Oh. YES: we give reasons for it. 1t was
because the rebel brigadiers who rule
| the House Democrats have never forgiven
Russia for taking the part of the United
States government during the war.
We suppose that il the members of the
| board of trade are satisfied with the policy
and performance of that organization
other citizens have little ground for com

men might exert n much more potent in
fuence in pushing the city forward than
the board OF trade exerts. Telegram.
Why don't You take hold and help,
then, instead of belittling every public
man who tries, to do anything to advance
the city and abusing every improvement
proposed!
Better send n capable diplomatic agent
