ADainty Dinner Table.

Nothing could have been prettier or
more dainty than the table which "A Pa
risian hostess arranged with her own
hands for an informal little dinner
which she gave. When her friends en-
tered the dining room. she asked laugh
ingly whether she would not be able to
make living as "a florist, for indeed
none else than person endowed with
the most refined Of tastes could have de-
vised anything quite as lovely rs was to
be seen there on that night.
No heavy gold or silver surtout, no
top heavy epcrgne loaded with fruit, OBJ
structed the view, but on the fine cloth,
edged with venetian point, were sue
cession of tiny baskets of spun crystal, in
which delicate snowdrops nodded their
little green cricked necks. A narrow
white MORE ribbon was tied in windmill
bows to the handle of each basket, and
meandered all over the table, caught up
now and again with cluster of pale yell
low and pink flowers. To make the illu-
sion more complete, fight of white and
yellow butterflies, fastened 70 invisible
wires, hovered over the flowers, and SO
true to nature were these velvCSy in
sects, trembling and glittering above the
table, that the first impression was that
they were alive.

MR vAlIGHAN,S ANSWER.

1t now looks very much rs though
the mayor overreached himself ! sen IL
ing that terminal facilities commuNl-
cation 10 the common council. Tie
tenor of the document was that Mr.
Potter had sought without ob'aining IT
informa ion upon a subject in which
the whole community is interested TO a
greater or lesser degree.
No other inference can be drawn
from his message than that he applied
TO the special COMMITTEES on railway
terminal improvements TO learn the tx
act status cf The negotiations between
that committee in behalf OF the city and
the representatives Of The Consoidaied
road, and he was uuablc to ob'all the
knowledge he sought.
Possibly it was not the mayors inten-
tion To give this Impression. II SO, IL
must be slld TINT he is the victim OF an
unfortunate misuse Of language. The
most significant point in this connecti' II
is that Mr.. William =. Vaughan, the
chairman of she COMMITTEES, says en-
phatically and without on lification OF
any kind that the lnnyor never asked
for any information aud more
over dspllyel "a remarkable indiifer-
ence concerning the subject. lie goes
further aud declares that an invitation
was extended the mayor to be present
at all the meetings of the Jmmittee SO
that he might be con family informed
Of the progress of the negotiations.
This certainly does not indicate any
attempt un the part of the committee
TO keep its work secret frVm the city's
executive. rs he intimates in his mes
sage. Further, if the mayor was really
50 anxious for information why did he
not attend the meetings. There was
nothing to prevent him from doing so,
in view of the fact thlJ his presence
had been requested.
Taking all the circumstances into con-
sideration no other ccnc.u iion can De
reached than that the mayor has made
a mistake which will not tend to in
crease the respect for him in the COM
munisy. And If he finds tho people re
gard his action as "a palpable bid for
political support he will have only him
self 10 blame.

FREIGHT TRAINS A suPERsLuITY

TnElST'' tuNiNO - OUT CNf III W
Here is pointer for Providence busi-
ness men 10 consider. The tele graph
brings the word from New Haven that
During the past week the freight
traffic on the several divisions of the
Consolidated road has decreased more
than 10 per cent. The road has laid Off
seven work trains and one gang Of freight
train men were dismissed from the
Shore line division yesterday. The
decrease in business is chiefly felt in
the New York and Shore line divisions"
Here is an object lesson that makes
itself seen right here ut home. The
only railroad between this city and the
great metropolis direct is cutting down
its number OF frerght trains owing to n
lack Of business. This shows more
clearly than anything else the wide
range Of the present business depres-
sion. Ii shows that banks aud stocks
are not the only things affected but that
the transactions in the every day com
modities of life are being curtailed &c
so great an extent that freight trains
have {, be cancelled because there is no
work for them to perform.
Last year the railroads could hardly
accommodate the business offered.
Freight blockades were the rule and not
the exception. A car famine was the
cry of the railroads. We have not cars
enough to supply the demand.
This il what change in administra-
tion from Republican protection to
Democratic promised free trade has ac
complished. Object lessons are being
given 50 fast that the average student
is getting rather bewildered.

A MUCH NEEDED LAW.

The board of aldermen will act con-
trary to the interests and wishes of the
people if it fails TO pass the plumbing
ordinance at its session today. There
can be no question that the delay thus
far has been injurious or that further
postponement will not be detrimental to
the public health.
Officials in the health department say
that much of the plumbing now being
put into houses is of the poorest kind
aud a menace TO health, but this
discouraging condition cannot he
changed until the bill which has been
blocked in board is passed.

These two things certainly have not
strengthened the confidence OF finan-
ciers in the desire of the Democracy to
crush the free silver heresy.
Senator Lodge expresses the beliet
that The approaching congress VIII re-
peal the purchasing clause OF the Sher-
man act, and thinks that no other legis-
lation should be attempted until this Is
accomplished.
While he does not claim that this
will entirely remove the depression III
business circles. it will do much to re-
store confidence and will remove the
anxiety now felt abroad that we are

bring about much relief in business cir
cles by making money easier.

SENATOR LODGES VIEWS.

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts, con-
tributes his views on the silver question
TO the current literature on that sub
jecT. Snator Lodge is very close
student Of political economy and for a
number Of years has devoted himself to
the study Of finance. He is keen
observer Of all matters pertaining
to government, AID while he believes
that the sherman act of 1890 is
responsible for prt of the present
business depression he most emphati-
cally denies thai it is solely responsible
for il, and points out in an incon-
trovertible way the fallacy of such
belief.
He takes the ground that The News

ness rests upon confidence, aud declares
"that no industrial enterprise affected in
any way by the tariff dares do anything
except contract its operations while the
uncertainty in regard to the tariff
exists lie believes that there can
be no doubt that the DEM
ocrats mean TO live mp to
the plank in their platform that COM
mitted them to free trade, a tariff for
revenue only, and that the fundamental
changes which this policy involves add
of course to the existing uncertainty
which is so fatal TO good business.
He points out that Democratic blum
ders have largely contributed to the
general uneasiness in regard to the sill
yer question, and among those blunders
he places Cleveland's appointment Of
Carlisle to the Sscretaryship of the
Treasury, when only two years age Car
