A LITERARY REFORM.

1t is current gossip in publishing cir
cles that the price of the leading maga-
zines is to be cut to 25 cents. The
Harpers are said to be seriously con-
templating that move, and the Century
people are supposed to stand ready to
follow the lead of the older concern.
1t has recently been demonstrated TO
the public that fairly good magazine
can be produced for less than half the
price of the leaders. and the the sale of
the 35 centers has suffered in
consequence. Scribners has demon
strated that a really first-class maya
zine can be made and sold for %
cents, and it has thrived wonder
fully while making the demonstration.
There is no reason for the old-time
35 cent rate, except the greed OF the
publishers. All kinds of literature has
been cheapened to the readers, and it is
now the turn Of the magazines to come
down to the popular level, in the matter
of price. They ought also to reform their
method of editing as well, if they hope
to continue great popular organs of in

POLICE PUZZLED
But Claim to Have Strong Evidence In
the Toole Case.

But Claim to Have Strong Evidence In
the Tools Case.
BOSTON, Nov. up TO the present,
the case of the police concerning the
Toole poisoning shapes up AS follows: In
the first place they viii claim that
Michael Toole purchased certain guam
tity Of cyanide OF potassium at his former
pla ce of employment, Carter, Carter &,
Kilham's, within week Of the tragedy,
and signed for the same on the poison
book.
The police will show the fact that some
days ago Mrs Toole had drawn $1,000 from
the bank and placed it in trunk In
which was also package of the poison
which Michael had bought, and which she
placed there for safety. When the trunk
was opened at che station no powder was
found, although Mary had plai My stated
TO Captain Wyman the fact of its having
been placed there.
Next and lastly. most important of all,
the police will claim that when they ar.
rived at the house, and went into the room
in which the victims lay upon the floor,
no traces OF q cork, corkscrew, tipfoil or
broken wire could be found, nor could O
later or more exhaustive search produce
them. The inference must be that the bot
tie was not opened in that room, nor by
Margaret or her mother, but by someone
else in some other room.
This is about the groundwork OF the
evidence which the police viii present be-
fore Judge Fallon pext Friday, and ask
that the prisoners may be held for the
grand jury.
The defence will take numerous excep
tions to thess statements. and tn ey, too,
possess strong case.

proven that most of the allegations
of activity Of the alleged association are
mere gossip and political canards. In
more than one instance where it has
been alleged that the "a. p. A." had
forced certain candidates upon one party
or the other it was found that the "a.
p. A." member had been rejected and
an outsider chosen; and there is no lack
of evidence that the talk that has been
going on is mostly either wholly or
chiefly false.
The esteemed Journal has Joined the
esteemed Telegram in the hysterical
effort to persuade the people of Provi-
dence that they are threatened with
something very terrible, though very
indefinite and shadowy. The Telegram
hopes, of course, TO serve the Proyi-
dence Tammany good turn, and
increase the probability that the
city may be turned ove- to the control
of the clique that want TO bring about
ring rule. The Journal is evidently
merely striving to maintain its reputa-
tion ms the greatest discover of political
mares nests in this portion Of the
country, and place itself in its habitual
attitude of opposition to whatever can he
hoped to better the condition of the

that mythical organization was directed
toward the eradication of sectarianism,
rather than the fostering of it, as is al

that the organization exists in this city
at all, and if it does exist
there is little or no plausible
evidence that it has had, or tried to
have, guiding voice in politics as yet.

The unwonted element in this city

They have determined to show them
selves and not trust to the few men who
have heretofore managed the politics of
both parties, and they have determined
to operate through the Republi-
can party. That is all the Z" A.

1t is not wholly agreeable to the poll

The selection of Col. F.. r. Olney for
their candidate for mayor by the Re
publicans was the very wisest thing that
they could do. Not only is Colonel Olney
entirely satisfactory as a candidate, but
from whatever strategic point of view
his candidacy may be surveyed it ap-
pears to be wise and shrewd.
The candidate answers all the re-
quirements of the situation, in view Of
the necessities of the city and the op-
portunity that is now open for the &C
compiishment of work of the highest
utility to it, and the utmost Importance
to its future.
He is able, vigorous, Independent,
enlightened, and refuses to be bound
by the ready-made judgments or
opinions of any man or set of men, ex-
cept so far as they may be his own
opinions and judgments. s.s,s7
He is not a partisan in the sense that
he would let politics influence his ad-
ministration Of the affairs Of the city.
His life and his opinions are an open
page to the people of Providence. He
needs no introduction to any class of
citizens, and all classes know that in his
hands their interests will be protected
and furthered.
Great pressure has been put upon
Colonel Olney to compel him to give
definite assurances to certain interests
and combinations. but he has steadfastly
refused to commit himself to any
statement or promise or pledge, other
than that he will conserve the interests
Of all, in the event Of his election. This
attempt to extract pledges may account
for the opposition that developed itself in
the convention, but the fact that no
pledges were given will make Colonel
Olney stronger candidate, even with
the very people who wished to get from
him more definite declarations of policy
or specific pledges regarding action.
Since the first mention of the name of
Colonel Olney as possible candidate il
has been the expressed opinion Of all
classes Of Republicans, and large and
influential section of the Democracy,
that he would be elected. II
has been evident that the voters
who believe in the business
of the city being transacted in
business-like manner have desired his
nomination, and that they will now see
to 1t that he has an Endorsement at the
polls that will make it evident to the
clique that has been trying to Tammany.
ize the city that their schemes are
doomed to fail.
The Republicans have done as we'll as
it was possible for them to do in the
selection Of candidate. IL remains for
the voters to do their duty, and the
future of the city will be assured, for
one year at least.
