The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-03-01

Only two more days Of congress yet
remain, and its record can almost be
reviewed with single glance. Its sins
of commission have been few, and that
is perhaps the highest praise that can
be bestowed upon it.
When congress assembled after elec-
ton it was evident that nothing was to
be done except the transaction Of abso-
lutely necessary routine business. So
far as can be recalled the quarantine
bill and the car-coupler bill represent
the sum and substance of the work done.
The two most important questions, those
of silver and tariff, both of which
the Democrats stand pledged to reform
if their platform is to be believed are
left untouched, and the country, after
staggering along under burden of ex-
tortion, as the Democrats claim is still
to be left staggering along until the
Democrats see fit to fulfil or repudiate
their promises next fall.
No recent congress can be so readily
arraigned for the gross negligence
which it has exhibited toward the great
question of money. Had it acted
promptly and wisely the Brussels
conference would have borne far
different fruit. The American
delegates needed nothing further
to tell the nations assembled
than that if they did not reach some mu-
tual agreement the United States would
cease its purchases of silver. This fact
was patent to all and yet congress re.
fused not only to act on bills looking to
beneficiary measures but ever refused
| TO consider this.
There is needed no further evidence oI
Democratic incompetency than this in.
activity which rendered null an inter
national convention which the United
States had itself called. The end OF
such do-nothing congress is not to b,
regretted.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-03-01
ELECTION APPROACHING.

The last months work is at hand and
in five weeks from yesterday the state
election will take place. Thus far
nothing has been done. The Democrats
are idle, the Republicans are quiet
The prospect is for one of the least active
campaigns that the state has ever seen,
unless there is very rapid awakening
of interest.
Itcannot be that the lack of interest
is due to lack Of appreciation of the fact
that the time is ripe for great advance
in the states industrial and commercial
condition. On all sides there is work.
ing that leaven of confidence that must
result in progress. But the intimate
relation between the states progress and
the states government does not seem to
have hold upon the popular mind, and yet
the two are in close mutual relation.
IL is true that the executive branch OF
the state government. has little positive
power in framing legislation, but it is
also true that the power behind the
throne is as unlimited and powerful as
its pcssessor has the mind to make it.
From the very fact that the Office has
no delegated power to shape law it
arises that its incumbent should strain
every nerve to urge on the active ones
and direct their efforts so that business
principles may be thoroughly instilled
into the state government
1t Is customary to complain OF the
governors lack of authority, but the
governor has not existed within ten
years who could not accomplish almost
any reasonable Legislation, whether re-
formatory or looking to Improvements
which he might determinedly set him
self TO bring about. 1t is to be noticed
that all of our governors with hobbies
have so persistently urged those hobbies
upon the General Assembly that they
have invariably led to results. We refer
of course to reasonable hobbies. The
state house is one Of these hobbies, and
the coming of good roads is another.
If the people would only realize the
enormous force which even our chief
executive can have in pointing the
path to Improvements and by persist
ence get them accomplished, it is not
probable that there would continue to
be that lack OF interest in the political
issues until within few days Of elec.
ton.
An electors duty does not cease when
his ballot is cast. 1t is his duty to as
sist the state officers in all their Office,
and to exemplify in daily life the prin
ciples he voted for. The Governor anC
the General Assembly can do much Il
the people are awake, but they becom,
powerless when not backed by publ,
| interest.

1HE ORLD's MILITARY.

THE Simplon road, from Switzerland
TO Italy, was built by Napoleon's engi-
neers in 1907. Over 400,0 workmen
were employed at one time.
In breaking up the Volta, an old
wooden cruiser of the French navy,
loaded shell was found in her timbers.
It is believed the shell was fired into
her at the bombardment of Foochow,
nine years ago.
