THE POLICE FORCE.

Three propositions relating to the
Providence police force were presented
to the Board of Aldermen yesterday.
One relates to the increase of the
number of the force from 235
to $50 men. A second provides
for a system of examination for the new
officers after six months experience. A
third asks for the frightening of the
yearly furlough from one to two weeks.
The third of these propositions is so
reasonable a request that its approval
would seem unavoidable. The second
is in the line of education and can
hardly fail to increase the efficiency of
the force. Neither of these will add to
the expenses of the city.
On the first point the force of any city
must vary according 10 it's needs. The
large majority of cities average one
policeman to every 800 or 600 inhabi-
tants. New York averages one police
man for every 800 inhabitants, Boston.
one for every $40, while Rochester has
only one policeman for each 1,04O in
habitants.
This city's present force averages one
policeman for every COS inhabitants.
With the increase the average would be
one TO so. This is slightly better than
the majority of large cities.

WANTS THE BALLOT
Mrs. Carrie l.. Chapman mathematics
the Government-fed sioux.

Mrs. Carrie l.. Chapman Anathe matises
the Government-fed Sioux.
Mrs. Carrie Lane Chapman OF Iowa,
addressed the Rhode Island Woman's
Suffrage Association at Blackstone Hall
yesterday afternoon. Her subject was
"A Lever of Power" She described
graphically prairies on either side of
the Missouri. The one on the east side is
called the Grow Creek Reservation,
which is controlled by women. There
are many refined aud educated women
there VINO are operating farms and build
ing up towns. All of these women are
unmarried.
ION the west side Of the river are tie
Sioux on the Sioux reservation. For 200
years these Indians have been celebrated
for their heartless cruelty aud ferocious
d pravity. Yet these degraded iends
have been enfranchised by the govern
ment and admitted to all the privileges
of citizenship.
In these days every woman cannot
get married. 1t is not the worst of fates
nowadays to be an old maid. There are
not men enough to 20 around. Many
women are earning $1,000 a year and 30
that price a woman will not readily
throw herself away on a lO.cent man.
"The old point of no taxation without
representation is not applicable TO
women in the Crow Creek region. They
must pay taxes into the Unite States
treasury in order 10 support the degraded
Sioux on the other side Of the river.
"No greater iusul has ever b en- heaped
upon the women OF this country thHn
when the precedence o! the ballot was
given TO these worthless Sioux.

THE CIUB.

The annual meeting of the Advance
Club, which occurred on Wednesday
evening, draws attention to an iustitu-
tion that has become one of the most
important agencies of progress in the
city.
The club is but three years old, vet il
has a membership that for progressive
ideas and enterprising men cannot be
equalled by any organization in the
city. Its character and purpose, have
been modified, and in some respects al
most revolutionized, but the main OBJ
jects Of its existence have been rather
exaggerated than minimizcd.
The club has always been fortunate
in its leaders and officers. and the cleo
ton Of Hiram Howard TO the presidency
now indicates that there is 10 be a con.
tinuation Of the aggressive policy that
has kept the club at the forefront i'm
all matters that most concern the best
interests Of the city.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

1t may safely be said that the mem
active citizens. Many may differ with
these views, and may even be able to
refute their conclusions, but no one can
deny hat they are necessarily present
ing some new idea for the improvement
of the city which provokes a deal Of
talk and criticism which in the end
must greatly benefit the city.
The latest suggestion Of this club re-
lates to the extension Of the great bridge
from Market Square TO Exchange place,
thereby connecting Canal street with
Washington row The plan also in
cludes the removal of the present street
car station to some less public place
neal the present cable-car station.
II is further suggested that the car
tracks could be removed from Exchange
street and reach the new station by way
of Exchange place and Washington
row.
That some such improvement is need
ed can be doubted by no n With
the possible exception Of Weybosset
street, there is no section of the city
where blockades are so frequent as along
Canal street and Washington row. The
trade that is carried on between the
wharves all passes through this point,
and in certain seasons of the year, when
fruits and vegetables are daily reaching
MS from the South, its amount is enor-
nous. 1t is impossible to transport it
expeditiously along two narrow streets.
1t is rare that a plan at once so ap-
parently practicable and efficient is pro-
posed. If carried out there would
extend along this section of the city a
plaza more than n hundred feet wide.
offering the freest passage to traffic
through a section which must eventually
be its most active business portion, as
il connects tide water with the railroads.

A N~INE-HOUR A

The action Of the contractors and
builders in agreeing to the nine-hour
day is without doubt in the line of wis
dom for them and of liberality for the
men. Ii is in the spirit of progress that
is rapidly making its way in employer
circles.
II is not necessary to assume that the
action was prompted by pure philan-
thropy. The builders would repudiate
such an idea. II is "A purely business
move. And it is more hopeful on that
account. When the principle that il
pays to be just and generous is recog-
nized as the business tenet of the men
who are the shrewdest and the most
successful the future Of the men who
do the work will be very much brighter.
This recognition of the nine-hour day
is Of great Importance TO the industrial
interests Of the city, as it is the best
sort of evidence that the misunderstood
ings that have in the past led to disas-
trous strikes is i'm "A fair way TO become
one of the disagreeable things of the
past.
The contractors and builders have led
the way, let the other employers of
labor follow.
