held In the opera house. DIR. II. A. Tor

the meeting. Fully 800 men rose TO their
feet when the invitation was given to
those who desired 10 start Christian
life. Colonel Hadley will remain in At
lanta during the week TO work under
the auspices or the local association in
connection with the week OF prayer for
young men.
An overflow meeting for ladies' was held
at the same time as that IN the opera
house 1t was conducted by Mrs. T.. T..
Whitemore of New York city, president
of the Door Of Hope Mission.
Mr.. Williams was unable to remain in
Atlanta to the close Of the convention

REFORMERS IN ACTION.

Contemp lation Of the course Of some
of the chief men in the Cleveland govern
ment with reference to that sublunary
something which has never found an
appropriate name but which has become
known as civil service reform, brings
great and poignant grief to the hearts
Of the mugwumps.
Mr.. Cleveland has been considered a
model and Jealous advocate of civil
service reform, as there were those who
anticipated that the glow of the ruddy
face Of Theodore Roosevelt would IRA
diate all the governmental departments.
But these glorious hopes have been
rudely and ruthlessly dispelled by the
great reformers MI. Cleveland has as
sembled at Washington. His old part
ner, the man who was his intimate dur
ing the years when he was sedulously
cultivating the reform temperament
that has borne such profitable fruit,
Postmaster General Bissell, has given
the country the most understand
able object lesson in true civil SER
vice reform Of the Buffalo brand.
He is not only engaged in making the
cleanest sweep of Republican post
masters that was ever even dreamed of
by the most unreasoning partisan, but
he has fagrantly nullified the law in
numerous large postoffices by rushing
new postmasters in just few days be-
fore the civil-service law became opera.
tive over letter carriers and other minor
employees.
BY this means postoffices in dozen
or more cities wefe swept clean of Re-
publican appointees and stocked with
Democrats.
The course Of the postmaster-g general
is only illustrative Of the course of the
party TO which he belongs. The Demo
Gratis seem never TO be so contented
with themselves as when they are en-
gagged in demolishing the fair fabric of
their platforms.
The exhibition made by this admins
traticn in the matter of living up to it's
professions and the platform it was
elected on is a very sorry spectacle in
deed. Maxwell and his axe, Bissell and
his contempt for law, Ulney and his
railroads, Carlisle and his incompetence.
Gresham and his renunciation of party
for Office. Herbert and his ignorance of
his duties, Smitb and bis antipathy to
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-07-21
is THIS THE MAN ?

The new postmaster Of New York,
Mr.. Dayton, is evidently bound to prove
himself abundantly competent to fill
the considerable Office that has been
thrust upon him by the president.
He has but recently graduated from
the editorial chair of weekly news
paper up Harlem way, and he is showing
the world what sort of training live
man gets in the newspaper business.
Mr.. Dayton has determined to give
New York very much improved postal
service, and has notified the Washing
ton authorities to forward him 100000
additional for the purpose.
Having settled this little matter, Mr..
Dayton proposes to take few days off
and run down to Washington for the
purpose of purging the postoffice de-
partment of the slim residue of Repub-
lican holdover officials, to one of whom
he charges the fact that New York
does not get all the letter carriers and
other mail facilities it desires.
Mr.. Dayton's zeal may possibly be
found to he outrunning his discretion,
and probably there is no surer way to
have that fact impressed upon him than
he has adopted. His visit to Washing
ton will be profitable to him, though
he has attacked the matter with all the
spirit he has been won't to exercise in
pursuit Of full-rate advertisement for
his weekly paper.
The whole country will await the re-
suit of Mr.. Dayton's visit to Washing
ton, if not with anxiety at least with
interest. If Harlem has produced the
man who can run the postoffice depart
ment in such a manner as to give every
postoffice all the carriers it thinks it
needs it is high time the whole country
does him due homage.

IHE soLIcIIoR,s opINIoN.

City Solicitor Colwelrs opinion on
the Dexter training ground matter will
give general satisfaction because IT
clears the way to the IA noring of the
memory of the greatest public benefac-
tor the city has ever had
The questions involved are very
important, and from time to time have
been discussed, but until the present
the city council has had no ruling TO
guide it. Mr.. Colwell's opinion is, in
brief, that Mr.. Dexter bequeathed the
training field aud other property
to the people of Providence for
certain definite and specific purposes.
The city, therefore, holds the property
in trust for the people. If it fails to
observe the conditions of the will. the
people through the court can compel 1T
to do so, but there would be no for
=feiture of the title of the people TO the
property.
While it may be said this is only the
opinion of one lawyer that is liable TO
be reversed or modified by the supreme
court, it will strike the lay mind as
sound and sensible.

POLITICS AGAIN.

Alderman Lansing expressed the gen.
eral sentiment Of the community yester-
day afternoon when he said it was time
for the board to take mp and dispose OF
the plumbing ordinance. This measure
has been juggled with in the upper
branch of the cite council in way that
is little better than childish.
There is not the slightest reason for
delaying action. Every member Is
familiar with the provisions of the
measure, and it is admitted to be
necessary and desirable. The trouble is
that politics has been drawn into 1t,
with the usual result that public in
terests must suffer until a few men who
are attempting To set themselves mp
against the majority see the folly OF
their present course aud the injury that
will result il 1t is persisted in.
The only point at issue is whether an
inspector shall be elected in joint con-
vention or by concurrent vote.
Five members of the board insist
that he must be chosen by the last
mentioned method. This would
give one-tenth of the MEM
bers OF the city council the
power to defy the other nine-tenths. 1t
would be in direct opposition to the
fundamental principle of Republican
government, that the majority shall
rule, but the gentlemen who are
attempting to nullify this principle will
find that their course is neither
approved nor upheld by the people.
