The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-01-09

The News to-day enters upon a new
regime, having been purchased OF the
corporation that has heretofore con-
Quoted it.
We do not intend to make promises
for the future. Day by day will show
what the News is. We intend to make
1t as good paper as possible, devoted
to the interests of Providence and Rhode
Island.
The News will continue to advocate
Republicanism, because we believe that
means almost everything that is best IN
politics and that tends to build up and
develop the country.
The News is entirely free from all
entangling alliances or obligations to
political parties, corporations or indi-
viduals, and the chief purpose Of the
present owners is to make business
success Of N.
The News will be conducted upon
the theory that it pays to be honest,
fearless and good-natured, and it will
not, therefore, take any part in any
newspaper "war." 1t has already DEM
onstrated that there is a place for it.
1t will endeavor TO fill that place. 1t
has nothing but goodwill for all its
local contemporaries, and will manifest
nothing else, reserving the right of
honest and good-tempered criticism and
emphatic differences of opinion.
The News is first, last and all the
time for the Greater Providence. Are
you with us?

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. "a couple
OF New York fakirs hired store Satur-
day morning in the Garfield building, un-
til recently occupied hya dime museum.
Shortly after o'clock one came out or
the sidewalk and did the shouting, whil5
the other took the admission fee. When
about three hundred persons had entered,
the crowd began TO clamor for the show
to begin. policeman, hearing the dis
turbance, entered to inquire into the
cause OF the trouble. The two fakirs
made their escape through the rear win
dow, while the deluded pleasure seekers
howled for revenge. No performers were
found in the place.

| To the Editors OF the Neios
1t was with pleasure that I perused
your article in the issue Of the 4th, en-
titled, "Do something" and / wish to
say that in my opinion II the press of our
city took hold OF these things as you fire.
quently do there would be more public
spirit among our capitalists What you
say from time to time in regard to the
city and what would benefit it believe
to be beyond question.
Note that notwithstanding that the
city Of Boston now has very fair service
with Liverpool the chamber of commerce
has recently asked for better, and this
idea presented itself to me. Why does
not our own Board of Trade. Advance
Club or Commercial Club, ask
that we be given even sucn service
as is now enjoyed by Boston9 Prob
ably no part Of the country has larger
foreign-born population in good circum-
stances who make frequent trips to the
old country, than Rhode Island, and is
there any reason why they would not
patronize a home line, If il was a very
fair one?
Why do not our people push the filing
in Of the harbor along the west side of
the river from HIPS wharf to Sassafras
Point, which when done would make
docks equal to those ia New York;
Why do we not have railroad to the
west, by which we could run through
trains in reasonable time and not be
obliged to have them hauled at will over
so MANY different roads?
Why cannot our merchants have facil-
tiles which will enable them to compete
successfully In various parts of the
country with jobbers of New York and
Boston?
Why is there so much talk about i'm
provements year after year, until it has
spent its force and dies natural death!
Why Is not the commerce of olden
times revived and our merchants trade
with all parts of the world. thus doing
away with the middlemen's profits?
i am glad to see the NEWS take such
view OF these important matters, and
one OF my reasons for admiring the News
is that it is firm believer in Providence
and does not carry the idea that there is
nothing in Providence that is OF any ac-
count. am glad that the News is a
thorough homo paper, and am anxious
to see the paper and its editor thrive.

have but little influence in winning the
sympathy of the public.
VICE In THE CITY.

One of our popular preachers present
ed very dark picture of the condition
Of the city's morals from his pulpit yes
terday. A good abstract of what he
said is in the News tonight.
Does this preacher present true pic
ture?
That is the question that every con-
scientious reader will ask. There is
nobody fully qualified TO answer with
full authority. The statements made
in the sermon cannot possibly be verified,
for reasons that will occur to every
body.
1t Is true TO greater extent than 1t
ought to be, anyway. IL is truer than it
need be.
Perhaps 1t is useless to discuss this
matter. Such vice cannot be obliterat-
ed by parading it before the public, and
its discussion in public places is on
many accounts to be seriously depre-
Gated.
1t must not be assumed that personal
purity has gone out of fashion. That
would be grievous error; a greater
error, in fact, than to assume that there
is no cure for the vice complained Of.
1t is not the object of the preachers
who have inaugurated this campaign
to convey the impression that the city
is going to the bad at rapid gait. 1t
is their business to see that it does not.
They are quite given to the use of all the
emphasis the occasion will warrant.
We do not believe the city is in as bad
case as this preacher seems to believe it
is, but it may be. We think we are
keeping pace with the rest of the world,
which is always growing better.
