be no argument adv vanced for the act ex-

reason for changing the opinion or for
giving further attention To II.
Mr.. Mccarthy said this was in the form
OF petition Of he people OF Woonsocket,
and certainly they ought TO be allowed to
be heard. He believed that the whole
people were wiser than the twenty mem
hers Of the council, aud ne thought they
ought TO be heard.
T.. III. Wilson said the gentleman
see ed 70 think that the judiciary com
mittee had nothing to do but give hear
ings. The COMMITTEES sat yesterday from
10 "A. IN. until IL p. m, and 1t still had
matters of great importance pend
ing. At to this bill the committee
had given hearings, had advertised
then aud all the people VINO wished had
been heard last year. The committee had
given Its opinion and IL WAS only asked
of the House to express its opinion on the
opinion of the committee.
Mr.. Brown said that the gentlemen
who served on the City Council of Woon-
socket had been VIGOROUSLY and espec-
tally elected because they were partisans.
and many OF them were wholly uufit for
the offices TO which they were
G ected. He spoke advisedly on
these matters. Things had changed
since tho adoption OF the charter aud
the election of school committeeman
under the present system was carried on
in the most high-handed manner. The
people now believed that they could elect
their school committeeman much better
themselves. The petition was signed by
many Of the most important citizens OF
the city of " oonsocket, and they de-
served to BE- heard

time in his remembra no was sur
prsed at the remarks Of the gentleman
from Woonsocket (Mr. Brown. He
seemed to insinuate that the judiciary
committee had not treated the people OF
Woonsocket fairly, AS matter OF fact
hearings had been held aud the people had
been heard. III they wanted TO be he ard
again, why had thev not said soi They
had not asked for further hearing, and
the committee had done all that had been
asked OF IL ur all that was its duty TO do.
But the remarks Of Mr.. Brown had
made it plaiu TO him that there was poll
tics i'm it. He ba1 feared that this was
the fact before, but now he knew It to be
so.
Mr.. Brown asked for the yeas and nays

THE HOUSE.

The House started its work this morn
ing by discussing the act TO change the
man ner of electing members Of the school
committee of the city CT Woon-
the judiciary committee by @.
A. Wilson with the recommends
ton of indefinite postponement.
Under he charter of Woonsocket, adopt
cd four years ago, the school COMMITTEES,
consisting OF nine members are elected
by the City Council. This bill proposes
TO amend the charter so that the school
committee should he elected by warts
and by the people directly.
This is the first bill To come sbefore the
General Assembly this session that has
an element of politics 1t at once became
evident that the Democrats wanted the
change because it would enable
them to elect number OF m EN- bers
of the school committee II tie people
voted by wards, insl eld OF eiecting them
by the council winch is Republican.
Some of the wards are Democratic, nota-
bly, the 3rd anu 4Jh, and the 5tn is close.
Mr.. Brown said the people OF Woon-
socket had petilioned tor this bill. aud
he moved, in order 10 give them time to
present their views, that the bill be laid
on the table.
G. A. Wilson said that the charter OF
" oonsocket was wise In this point. He
believed that any one who examined the
system OF public schools would be con
viuced that, while the idea OF
electing school committee men was In
the direction OF democracy, the best
way 10 elect such officers was by much
smaller body. The record Of this proved
that under the present system we should
be better governed if the school commit
tie were electe by TIE council. For that
reason he proposed to stand by the re-
commentator of the committee. IL
would make no difference to him whether
a minority or n majority Of the people
wanIed the change. lie looked upon IL
as step in the wrong direetion.
f. ii. Wilson explained that Mr.. Brown
was mistaken in supposing that the peo-
pie had not been heard upon the act.
The judiciary committee had given
