filter system in time for use this sum-
mer. The city must therefore continue
to use water which though purer than
the average city water, and purer by
far than 1t was year ago, is neverthe-
ess confessedly unfit to drink unless
boiled.
The warm weather Is likely to begin
any day when there is every temptation
to slake the thirst with more than the
usual amounts of water-and water, too,
which is at this season of the year more
than usually polluted.
1t is noticeable that, although only
the most meagre reports are at hand,
cholera is assuming a more malignant
form in Russia, and has already adj
vanced in France from the country
towns to the suburbs of Paris. This is
the time for precautions.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-05-11

1t is not necessary to become unduly
alarmed over tho possibility that the
cholera may reach this country this
year, but as the season advances IL Is
advisable not to forget that prevention
is easy if precautions are taken.
So much was said not long ago about
the recent quarantine regulations and
their probable effectiveness that doubt
less many if not most people are off
guard. But no quarantine regulations
can be warranted secure. The most
rigid government laws have entirely
failed to exclude the Chinese immi-
grants, and even those infected with
loathsome disease have crossed the bor-
ders of the country from Canada and
escaped detection for long time---per-
haps many Of them entirely.
Aside from the inherent defects In all
quarantine laws, there are two facts of
local Importance, which may serve as
possible signals of the danger. One is
the imperative need of new plumbing
laws and plumbing inspector. Exam
nation Of the plumbing in many of the
tenement sections Of the city and even
in the average house shows that much
of the work is very poorly done--and IL
is needless to call attention to the fact
that from a sanitary point Of view poor
plumbing is far more dangerous than
noue at all.
Tie other fact of importance is the
recent announcement in these columns
that !. will be impossible TO construct q

Opponents of the license commission
bill were deprived last night of one OF
their chief arguments when the COM
mon council of Pawtucket adopted reso-
lutions urging its passage. The council
had been convened in special session by
Mayor Brown. who in a communication
recommended the adoption Of a protest
against the bill.
Evidently Mayor Brown misconceived
the temper Of the council, for instead
of complying with his request it tabled
the resolutions accompanying the ex-
ecutive communication and adopted
others of directly opposite tenor with
only two dissenting votes, both of which
were cast by Democrats.
This action should and doubtless will
have more weight than the speeches of
half hundred lawyers and many times
that number of practical politicians.

A GROWING CRISIs.

The arrival of the foreign papers con-
tanning comments on the defeat Of the
German army bill, the few days which
have intervened and the more just esti-
mate Of the effect of that action serve to
darken the picture and suggest possible
outcomes in the near future which
would be woeful for Europe.
The almost vindictive swiftness with
which dissolution was decreed and his
speech Of Tuesday to the army, show
the emperor standing firmly on his i'm
perial prerogative and insisting in no
doubtful tone that the peoples repre-
sentatives should be subservient to his
power and not he to theirs. 1t is po.
sition which scarcely Bismarck would
have dared take and that only when he
was sure of his support. The stormy
scenes which this insistence and impa-
tience of the emperor have called forth
exceeded in bitterness any which have
been known since 1870. Under cover
Of the army bills has grown up a
broader imperial conflict whose i'm
portance overshadows them. The old
question of the German federation is
again in the van. There were depths.
Of passion shown by the speakers
against the dominance of Prussia that
was full of ominous meaning.
All this feeling will be stirred to its
depths during the coming election, and
the result will be equivalent to much
more than mere party majority one
way or the other. There are such sim
lister weapons in reserve IL matters
should ever come to a point where the
representatives should feel warranted
in using them that the thoughtful must
dread the outlook. 1t is probably too
early even yet to foresee shattering of
the imperial government as a result of
Williams five years reign, but GER
tainly there has been no more grave
crisis in Germany or Europe during the
last twenty years.

What Push Thinks.

To the Editor Of the Netor
The most practical way in which the News
has advocated the project of sending a man
TO Chicago to represent the interests of Prov
idence as place for the location of industries
deserves the most hearty support of the peo-
Pile. 1t is project which unlike many
schemes that have been suggested, has a
practicable aspect oft. And while the subject
of booming towns is under consideration IL
may be suggested to the conservative people
that there is no need TO boom Providence.
We do not want a boom here. The city's
natural growth as you recently showed has
been truly wonderful. All we need is to show
its advantages and growth and they will
speak for themselves
presume you will meet with some objec-
ton from the "old guard A" of the city. but
happily that is growing less every year. and
those whose conservatism has kept the city at
a standstill are growing fewer and fewer. IL
you can give them one proof of the advan-
tage of activity in such lines as this their OBJ
jections and influence will have received its
death blow. PUSH"

notice with satisfaction that our business
men have taken hold OF the matter of send
ing man TO present the advantages Of Provi-
dence TO those who visit the Worlds fair.
Without doubt there will be hundreds of
men at the fair on the lookout for desirable
location for the establishment of new indus
trial enterprise, and il is essential that Provi-
dence should be represented by some one who
can put forward her claims in clear and
convincing manner.
BY all means send 1--we man to the fair,

ling" now will lead to the investment here of
hundreds of thousands of dollars of new
capital. PROGRESS.

IGNoRANCE AND CARELEssNEss.

If the two district wardens who have
figured as defendants before United
States Commissioner Blodgett recently
furnish a fair sample of the intelligence
of the whole body of election officers,
the wonder is that any ballots at all
have reached their destination.
They calmly admitted they had not
read the instructions sent them, and
they were equally unfamiliar with the
provisions Of the election law. Affairs
were conducted on the go-as-yon- please
plan, and with disregard of plain and
simple requirements, that in boy old
enough to distinguish baseball from a
balloon would have merited a strong
dose of the parental slipper.
No one will claim that ballots were
sent astray purposely or with criminal
intent, but there certainly was the most
inexcusable carelessness.

just the Thing to DO.


To the Editor OF the Ns,oe
In view of the very general, and in every
case that has come 10 my personal notice,
commondatory comment among local busi-
ness men on the idea of sending a capable
and duly authorized representative Of the
city 10 the Worlds fair. with sufficient money
and full power. TO promote the interests of
this city by bringing its advantages to the at
tention OF the manufacturers and capitalists
who will congregate there in probably greater
number than ever before in any place, can
not resist the impulse 20 add a word To the
popular testimony In favor of the carrying
out OF the idea In its fullest and broadest
sense, and taking advantage of all OF the
magnificent possibilities which 1t cannot fail
10 develop.
The representatives VINO will be in Chicago
during the next five months are undoubtedly
the men of all others it is TO the advantage of
any business community to interest as far as
possible in their local facilities for earning
dividends on capital invested Other cities
have been quick to see and appreciate the
value of this, and through their means at
their command To avail themselves of their
command to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity offered. and Providence, with natural
advantages equalled by few and excelled by
no other locality as manufacturing and
shipping point, should not be the last to reach
the ear of the capitalists, who by the way will
from the very fact that each is at the fair for
the purpose OF observation, with view to
possible investment, be in a particularly re-
ceptive condition, and open to the arguments
which properly set forth by an able represen-
tative-and we have many who would do
credit TO the mission and the city-could not
fail to be convincing and To result In the at
traction of much and valuable capital to
Providence.
BY all means the idea should be pushed to a
conclusion, and at once, and the business In
terests of the city well and literally repre-
sented at Chicago this summer.
