tions. Biennial elections would lessen
elections. So would the plurality law.
To that extent both amendments are
similar, and the inference is that II one
were disapproved the other would share
its fate. Why then do its opponents
fear TO submit it to the voters?
They stand affirming that the people
can readily amend the constitution If
defects exist, but when an alleged de-
feet is presented they refuse to allow
the people to speak. They stand assert
ing that the people are not in favor of
reducing the number of elections as
shown by the vote on the biennial
election law, and yet they are afraid
to let the people be heard on a
somewhat similar proposition. In
so doing they stultify themselves and
the masses of their party and win. for
themselves the i'll will not only of their
enemies but the rank and file OF their
own friends. Either the theory OF fire.
quent amendments is wrong or the plu-
rality law should be submitted to the
voters. Which is it?

BUY THE BABY.

The response Of the public to the
News's appeal for funds to secure baby
elephant Roger Williams as a perma-
nent attraction has been very generous.
Lovers of children are all interested
in the plan and as for the children, you
should see how the faces of the little
tots tighten up when they are told of
the efforts being made to keep their
pachydermous pet for them.
Let everyone take personal interest
in the matter and the money will be
speedily raised. Do not content your
self simply with contribution. That
is good as far as it goes but if you will
make it point to speak to your friends
about the fund and its purposes you
will aid materially.

A FISHY STORY.

There is the usual and overworked
bottle-at-sea story on hand today re-
garding the lost steamer Naronic.
This story bobs up at every ship
wreck, with variations. 1t is little
late this time, and it is a pretty poor
specimen. The question Of the loca-
tion of the ship is wholly ignored, and
the writer of the alleged letter forgot
that a bottle would not be likely to
drift up the gulf stream to the Virginia
coast.
The fact that the alleged letter origi-
mated at a summer resort is sufficient to
destroy its value, and assure the acute
newspaper reader that the bottle yarn
is rather below the standard Of veracity
of the ordinary sea serpent story.

TIE couPoN CONTEST.

Tomorrow is the last day Of the cou-
pom contest for the $500 offered by the
News to the most popular organization.
No coupon received or mailed later
than 1890 o'clock tomorrow friday
night will be counted.
The coupons fairly poured into the
Office today and the constant changes
made in the standing by the inces-
SAINT arrivals of bundles of votes, showed
that the workers are active and that it
is anybody's race yet.
The winner must work harder than
ever and those who are most confident
of success may find it snatched from
them in the eleventh hour.
Remember that tomorrow night at
1890 o'clock the polls close.

WHAT CAUSES THE DELAY.

The very clear and cogent summary
of the progress of the negotiations for
the new union station that was pub
lished in the News last night serves to
indicate where the blame for the delay
really belongs.
The city has done all it agreed to do,
and great deal more. 1t has been pa
tient to the verge Of absolute indiffer-
ence, and it has INDUCED the dilatory
railroad officials in the exercise OF the
mastery inactivity that has character
lied their efforts until forbearance has
come to be positive crime against the
citizens.
1t is as clear as daylight that the
cause of the present delay is the railroad
companies. They have sent their Off
cials to this city to salve the sores of the
people with the honied phrases deliv-
cred after banquet and after the wine
has softened the anger of the listeners,
and they have given fair words and al
Turing promises.
The fact that the people of this city
take account Of Is that there is nothing
done toward the erection of the new
station that has been promised for all
these years, but which exists as yet
only on paper.
When we see the stones being put
one on the other, and the brick walls
rising, we shall be sure that there is
work being done on the new station,
and shall hope that it may be finished
in the course of the years Immediately
in the future.
There is now no indication that the
work will begin at once, or in the near
future, nor is there any indication thai
the Consolidated officials are interested
in the question. Apparently the cit,
of Providence is at the mercy OF th'
officials, and is likely to have to wal
for them to move.
1t is time for the city council to be
gin to devise means to compel the dere
lict roads to perform their part of th'
contract that they have acknowledged
responsibility for. The people of thi
city are not all sheep, though it may 70
the moment suit the pleasure and con
venience of the officials to consider then
| such.

srULrIryING THEIR PRINCIPLES.

sTULTIFYING THEIR PRINCIPLES.
If there is one point of sharp distinc-
tion between the principles of the two
leading political parties of this state
that point is the question of revising
the constitution by constitutional con-
vention and revising 1t by amendment.
II has been maintained for years by
the Republicans that constitutional
convention is unnecessary, and that
wherever supposed defects exist in the
constitution they can easily be remedied
by vote of the people at any election.
The ease with which amendments can
be carried when approved 10y the people
was illustrated at the last election in re-
gard to the corporation law. Alto
gether there have been nine
amendments, and they were passed
without any friction or trouble to the
people. 1t is further fundamental
principle of the party that on all these
questions the people are amply able 10
decide for themselves. The logical
deduction from these two principles is
that it is imperatively necessary to
submit 10 the people for decision any
amendment which may seem to have
the approval of large number OF
voters.
And yet when the question OF
plurality law is presented the party, OF
rather the majority Of its elected
representatives, refuse to submit it &c
the voters for their decision. Are moi
the people to be trusted on such vital
issues? In the last election one amend
ment was approved and another defeated
