The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-11-03

The rumors regarding the possible
strengthening of the New York and New
England railroad, by securing an en-
trance into New York city and by i'm
portant connections with other roads,
are of great interest and Importance to
this city, and all southeastern New Eng
land, which is now served by the great
Consolidated system.
1t is not necessary to assume that the
Consolidated has any fixed purpose, or
any prediction, TO deal otherwise than
fairly with this section, or any section
il serves. But the mere fact that 1t
controls avenues of approach and exit
that are naturally competitive, and tina
its policy must be restrictive and di-
rected toward the forcing of transpor-
tation into channels that suit its conven-
fence rather than the convenience and
profit Of shippers and travellers, makes
it impossible to expect that it will ever
be able to serve the best interests of
Providence and Rhode Island.
The strengthening of New England so
that it might be considered permanent
factor in the transportation facilities
would tend to give general business here
a reliance it at present stands sorely in
need of.
So Providence is greatly interested in
Mr.. McLeod's plans, and hopes that they
may be fully aud speedily realized. We
know, however, that these plans have a
way of being prematurely published,
and have learned to await developments
without indulging especially roseate
views of what is in store for us.

THE GOOD TIME COMING.

Where is the business improvement
that was to follow the repeal of the
silver purchase law?
Perhaps it is too soon to expect results,
or indications; but the fall Of stocks
yesterday and the failure of anything
like speculative movement, even, TO
materialize. indicates pretty clearly that
the delay of repeal in the senate spoiled
the only chance it had OF doing good.
The failure of repeal to benefit busi-
ness men is as good proof as could be
required that the position taken by this
paper, that business is suffering because
of the uncertainty respecting the tariff
rather than because of silver purchases,
is sound.
1t is wise to discontinue the purchase
of silver, but the root of the trouble
would be struck If there could be some
assurance that the tariff would not be
so altered as to destroy great industrial
interests, as will inevitably result il the
program of the Democrats is carried out,
or If any protection is withdrawn from
the great manufacturing interests that
now rest solely upon protection
The case is an extremely simple one
A threat to revise the tariff bring
the whole country to the very verge OF
bankruptcy. Ample evidence that this
threat made into law would impoverish
thousands and destroy large proper
tion Of the wealth Of the people is avail
able TO all, and its teaching cannot be
misconstrned.
The good time coming that silver
repeal was to bring is still coming, and
wiilconiinue to be a hope instead of a
reality until IL is recognized by the law
makers that the tariff must be left
alone.

THE PAwTUCKET ELECTION.

Next Tuesday Pawtucket will hold its
municipal election, and, unless all signs
fail, the Republicans will elect their
candidate for mayor and an increased
majority of the members of the city
council. The Democrats are hopelessly
divided, while the Republicans are united
and enthusiastic to q degree that in
sures success.
That small and constantly decreasing
faction of the Democracy which is
under the control of Hugh j. Carroll is
making desperate but hopeless fight.
AS customary with it it is indulging in
vituperative abuse, bnt its vilification
of Mr.. Tiepke and other Republican
nominees will be of little avail. The
people of Pawtucket know the source
from which these attacks emenate and
are not likely to accord them even con-
temptuous consideration.
AS between the two candidates for
the mayoralty the citizen will have no
difficulty in making o choice. Mr..
Tiepke has served in both branches of
the city government with signal sue
cess and there earned the confidence
and esteem of the people. He
will make progressive, yet safe
and conservative executive, and one
against whom there is not the
shadow of suspicion of dishonesty or
trickery. Moreover, he will be mayor
in fact as well as in name. He will
wear no mans collar nor be controlled by
any clique or faction. On the contrary
he can be depended upon to administer
the affairs of the city according to his
own convictions of what is best for its
interests and its people.
AS to Mr.. Robinson, the Democratic
candidate, it is only necessary to say
that he is unfortunate in being the can
didate of a discredited ring. Were it not
known that he is Carrolrs man, and in
case of his election willb Carroll's tool,
he would probably receive the support
OF the major part of his party. That
of course would not mean his election,
but simply a reduction of the majority
against him.
AS it is his affiliation with Carroll
will cost him many votes, and large as
was the majority under which he was
buried year ago, it will be much
heavier next Tuesday.

TIME FOR ACTION.

The Rhode Island Business Mems
association meets tonight for the purpose
Of electing officers and planning its work
for the year.
1t seems scarcely necessary to point
out the possibly great benefit this organi-
cation can work for this city and state.
The members are well informed regard
ing it, and are also willing to devote
themselves to the work.
The special thing that ought to be
done by the business men tonight is the
furtherance of the movement for unity
and action among all the organizations
that are devoted to the promotion of
special interests, or the general business
welfare of the state and city.
The feeling that such unity is possible
and extremely desirable was strongly
developed last spring when the propo-
sition to send an agent TO the Worlds
fair to represent the business interests
of the city was considered.
1t was then resolved to continue the
provisional joint committee, If the or
CARNATIONS which created it approved.
The Business Mems association is,
perhaps, the most aggressively energetic
of these organizations, and has now an
opportunity to demonstrate to the
public how far its faith may be expected
to materialize into works.
The meeting tonight ought to result
to the great profit and advantage of
this city.

BELGRADE, Nov. 3.-M. Velimirovitch,
formerly Servian minister OF justice, was
found dead In his bedroom in his residence
here. His head had been severed from his
body, which was mutilated in a horrible
manner. A large sum Of money and a
quantity Of valuables were stolen. There
is no clue to the author or authors OF the
crime. 1t is believed, however, that rob-
berry was not the principal motive, and
that the crime was due to political ami
mostly engendered while M. Velimirovtch
was at the head of the ministry OF justice.

AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Another Decision That New York's
Law is Unconstitutional.

@AsW 30
New YORK, Nov. 3 Justice Bartlett,
of the supreme court, rendered decision
that the act Of 1892, which assumed to
authorize women to vote for school com.
missioners is unconstitutional, and conse,
quently invalid. This decision is in ac-
cord with one handed down few days
ago by supreme justice of the Syracuse
circuit.
The case which brought out Justice
Bartlett's judgment is that of Miss Ernes-
tine Benjamin. Benjamin X. Payne mado
motion to have her name stricken from
the registry Of voters Of the third district
Of Riverhead, Suffolk county, on the
ground that the law permitting her name
there was unconstitutional
In substance Justice Bartlett holds that
an election Of school commissioners is
within that class OF elections which the
constitution Of the state provides shall be
participated in by qualified voters only;
that qualified voters are male citizens
only, and therefore that, that portion of
the act Of 1892, which assumes to confer
the right upon women to vote for school
commissioners, must be deemed invalid.
