The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-01-04

The Cleaner heartily wishes the Provi-
dence News success because it wishes to
see Republican daily newspaper in
Providence. out the NEWS makes SONS
very bad breaks" For example, it says
in an article wherein il assumes the title
of the representative newspaper OF
Rhode Island" that the Telegram repre-
sents nothing" but as a matter of fact, ii
quotes and makes more comments upon
telegram rot" than from any other daily
paper.
Thanks! But the NEWS. in denying to
the Telegram a representative character,
did not mean to deny it interest, circula-
ton or even influence in certain direc-
tions. 1t doesn't represent anything in
particular except its controlling genius,
but it's awfully funny sometimes and
very available for purposes of quotation.

The Derby Hat.

If the derby hat is to be crowded out
by the easier and softer styles Of head
gear there won't be much regret over its
going. In spite of its advantages as
cross between the silk hat and the
SLOUGH, it has never had the merits of
either of those styles. 1t has always had
the discomtorts of the silk hat without
having its dash or beauty, and it has not
been much dressier than a neat soft hat,
although it has always been more I'M
comfortable. 1t is bad thing for hot
DAY, and it isn't much for cold spell,
and fate help the man who wears it in
the morning after a banquet. The
tendency now is to easy hats, and it
ought to be encouraged. Men have
laughed a great deal at women's slavery
to fashion, but they have never been
able to point to more forclble Illustra-
ton of that slavery thar their own adj
herence to the derby hat supplied

Taste and Smell.

Some curious observations by Profess
sor Jashow indicate that our apprecia
ton of food depends largely, if not
chiefly, upon the sense of smell instead
of that of taste. The subject of the in
vestigation was a student twenty-one
years old, who inherited from his mother
the defect-acquired by her in child
hood-of complete absence of the sense
of smell, taste and other sensations being
unaffected. He was found to be unable
to detect any difference between tea,
coffee and water. In three trials out of
five he confused bitter almond water
and water, but distinguished between
ether ana water and ether and ammonia.
Fruit syrups were simply sweet, no diff
ference between them being perceived.
Gloves and cinnamon were recognized,
but mustard and pepper gave only a
sharp sensation on the tongue. Trenton

Perhaps the weirdest and most inn
pressive of the many unwonted memories
that the traveller carries away with him
from such like travel IN the East is the
recollection of the camel caravans which
he has encountered at night. Out of
the black darkness is heard the distant
boom Of heavy bell, Mourn July, and
with perfect regularity of iteration it
sounds, gradually swelling nearer and
louder, and perhaps mingling with the
tones Of smaller bells signaling the rear
guard vi the same caravan. The big
bell Is the insignia and alarm of the lead
ing camel alone. But nearer and louder
as the sound becomes, not another sound
and not visible object appear to accom-
pany It. Suddenly, and without the
slightest warning, there looms out of the
darkness, like the appar!tion of phan-
tom ship, the form OF the Captain Of the
caravan. HIS spongy tread sounds softly
on the smooth sand, and like a great
string of linked ghouls the silent process
sion stalks by and is swallowed up in
the night.
And how wonderful and everpresent
is the contrast in Eastern travel to all
life and movement at home. No heavy
carts and numbering wagons jolt to and
fro between the farmyard and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past upon macadamzed roads. Alas!
there are no roads; and if no roads, how
much less any vehicles or wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hed@erows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush of the
train-these might not exist in the world
at all, and do not exist in the world of
the Persian, Strengthened and stunted,
but inexpressibly tranquil in his exist
ence. Here all is movement and hustle,
fux and speed; there everything is i'm
perturbabIe, immemoriaI, immutable,

The Great Wall of China.

The great wall of China was measured
in many places by Mr.. Unthank, an
American engineer, when engaged on a
survey for a Chinese railway. His meas
urements gave the height at eighteen
feet, and width on top of fifteen feet.
Every few hundred yards there isa tower
twenty-four feet square and twenty to
forty five feet high. The foundation of
the wall is of solid granite. Mr.. Tn
thank brought home with him brick
from the wall which is supposed to nave
been made 200 years before the time Of
Christ.
In building the immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars the builders Dever
attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 1900 miles the
wall goes over mountain and plain, and
every foot of the undation is in solid
granite, and the rest of the structure is
solid masonry. In some places the wall
is built smooth up against the bank, or
canons, or precipices, where there is "a
sheer descent of a thousand feet. Small
streams are arched over, but in larger
streams the walls run to the waters
edge, and tower is built on each side.
On the top or the wall there are
breastworks or defenses, facing in and
out, so the defending force can pass
from one tower to another without being
exposed to an enemy from either side.
To calculate the time in building or the
cost of this wall is beyond human skill.
So far as the magnitude of the work is
concerned, it surpasses everything in an
cient and modern times of which there
is any trace. The pyramids of Egypt
are nothing compared to it.--DetIoit

BELVA IN THE FIELD.

If reports can be relied upon, we have one
Presidential candidate in the field-Belva
Lockwood. But this statement may need
confirmation-Boston Traveller.
CONSIDERING that this is leap year the
declaration of Belva Lockwood that she
will not accept the Presidential nominal ton
unless it is freely offered her is certainly
very Chicago Times.
BELvA A. LOCKWOOD is once again on the
Presidential race track, ana proposes to stay
there until the votes are counted ON election
night. 1t is believed that not even a two
ounce mouse could scare her away.-St. Paul
Globe.
Mrs. BELvA LOCKWOOD has announced
openly that she will again be a candidate for
the Presidency. She does not propose to
take any advantage of Messrs Cleveland,
Boies, Blaine and Harrison.-Men,phis Ap-
peal Avalanche.
BELvA LOCKWOOD has announced her in
tention to again oppose both the old parties
for the Presidency. Strange that Belva can:
not reconcile herself to one or the other of
the old parties since she is such an elderly
party herself.-Ne,0 York Aduertiser.
BELvA LOCKWOOD modestly says: "Mr.
Blaine and stand in the same position, for
both of us, if nominated for the Presidency
next year, will be forced to accept" So a
repetition of the terrible struggle between
Mrs. Lockwood and other fellows who wear
-ahem!-is inevitable.-Roston Record.
BELvA LOCKWOOD says she is not q candi-
date for Presidential honors, but will accept
n nomination if it is forced upon her. Belva
seems to have taken a leaf from Mr.. Blaine's
book, and indeed it may be admitted that
she stands about as close to the Presidency
as the tattooed statesman.-Chicago Times.

PARTIES IN CITY POLITICS.

The action of the WllliamSpOrt Board OF
Trade, as representative of the independ.
ent citizens of that city in appointing a
Committee of Thirty (three from each
ward of the city, to make non-partisan
nominations for city positions, calls at
tention to the idiocy of importing.national
politics into city affairs. The Williams
port case is reaction from misgovern-
ment resulting from partisanship in its
municipal government The Board of
| Trade is making efforts to correct this,
having gone so far as to request the party
organizations to refrain from making city
nominations In view of the importance
of bread and butter in the party eStima-
tion, it is not probable that this request
will be granted by both parties; but if not,
the independent element has taken step
which will enable it to draw the lines on
the municipal issue of good or bad gov
ernment.
There is no respect in which the super
stitiOn of partisanship more clearly re-
duces itself to an absurdity than in this
practice of drawing party lines in NUM-
cipal elections. The use of parties is to
carry out the lines of policy supported by
the party which wins the vote. But a
party formed to advocate national
policy can by no logic of public
usefulness claim a control of NUM-
cipal government where there is
no possible application of that
policy. There may be and should
be divisions of municipal parties on ques-
tions of municipal policy; but those party
divisions are naturally as distinct from
national parties as the municipal policy
is from the national policy. There is
nothing so utterly devoid of reason as the
idea that certain views Of tariff or coin
age, should control the selection of a
municipal body to act on questions of paw
ing, water-works or lighting; nor would
any such idea ever be entertained, if it
were not for the supreme consideration of
party spoils.
Fortunately there is certain check
placed on this anomaly by the readiness of
the people to disregard party lines, in vot-
ing for city candidates. But more de-
furnished by the fact that rings to control
municipal business do not confine them
selves to party lines. They preach the
party principle to aid them in the control
of the vote; but wherever valuable
services can be obtained in maintaining
supremacy, it is secured without regard to
party allegiance.
There is not the slightest reason why
the interests of the people should not en-
joy the same liberty. We hope that the
independent element of Williamsport will
be successful in showing how to divide
municipal parties on the issue of faithful
service to the interests of the people. Its
success may stimulate similar independent
movements in Pittsburg, Allegheny and
other places near home.
