NOW LET THERE BE DUST.

The formal filing of the deed to the
city of the land recently owned by the
New York and New England railroad,
which the Consolidated road wants for
the approach to the proposed new union
station, which occurred yesterday, has
made it possible for the New Haven
people to begin work on the new sta
tion at once, according to their own
view Of the situation.
The movements of the New Haven
officials in the immediate future will be
noted with the keenest interest by the
people of this city.
1t has seemed to Providence men of
business that the New Haven officers
We're seeking excuses for delay. They
have protested that such was not the
case. They are now in a position to
conclusively prove that they mean to
build the union station by building it.
This matter of the new station has
been so long before the public, and has
been so thoroughly canvassed, that the
present situation is pretty well under
stood.
The people of Providence know that
whatever obstacles now remain be-
tween them and the realization of their
terminal hopes are so slight and so un-
important as to amount to nothing.
The occasion is ripe for the beginning
of the dusty work on the Cove lands
that the railroad men have been declar-
ing to be imminent for long time. Few
things would prove SO refreshing as
sight of an army of workmen pushing
the new station building toward COM
pletion.
If the New Haven officials want Prov
idence to look upon them with favor,
all they have to do is to look with favor
upon Providence, and that at once.

WHO is TO BlAMEs

The need Of repeating the Sherman
silver law is no longer debatable ques-
ton In this section of the country, and
II one may judge from the expressions
of opinion of the Southern and Western
press the opinion of those sections is
nearly as strong against it.
The question now to decide is how to
accomplish that repeal, and on whom to
fix the responsibility for the delay
which has been so ruinous to the bust.
ness interests of the country.
Even the Indian financiers-men whose
love for the white metal is doubtless the
strongest of any one class in the world,
because India is monometalic coun-
try and silver is the sole money-have
closed their mints, and they were only
coining-'rupees whose value was In a
ratio of 90 cents to the dollar. Yet this
country continues its suicidal policy of
coming n 50 cent dollar, and the exist
ing authorities take no steps to remedy
the evil or to forestall the losses which
must inevitably continue.
Looked at in any light whatever, we
are forced always to the conclusion that
the president and congress are doing
nothing. IL has always been within the
power of Secretary Carlisle TO sell bonds
abroad. II has always been within the
power OF the president to call an extra
session.
Nothing has been done.
There has been no necessity for the
losses which the country has suffered.

Sentiment OF the South Strongly In Favor
of the Repeal Of the sherman Law.
BALTIMORE, June 29--The News pre-
sents the results of telegraphic canvass
Of the leading newspapers of the south,
showing that public sentiment in that
section is now overwhelmingly In favor of
the repeal OF the Sherman law.
Up to few months ago the south had
been considered free silver section and
the votes of majority Of the congress
men were relied upon to oppose the re-
peal of the Sherman act, and even to go
further in the direction of enacting free
silver legislation. In order to find out
whether recent events had brought about
a change in public sentiment The News
sent to the editors OF the leading news
papers in all southern states the following
telegram:
Please wire us whether the sentiment in
your section now favors repeal OF the Sherman
act and whether congress should be assem-
bled at once for that purpose.
The replies show remarkable change
In southern sentiment One Mississippi
editor thinks the Sherman law has not
had fair trial; every other editor ad-
dressed declares that the sentiment is de-
cidedly in favor of repeating the law, and
a very large majority are in favor Of very
prompt action.

government, and to the lack OF conf
dence in its hesitatihg policy.
Mr.. Cleveland entered Office with the
avowed conviction that reforms wer
needed. He virtually accepted office
under the pledge that reforms would be
carried out, as far as he has power.
What has he done? He has appointed
Mr.. Carlisle secretary OF the treasury
IA man whose known views on finance
were directly opposed to sound cur
rency. He is the man who, in the
midst of one Of the most critical pc
riods, recently went fishing and left the
treasury to take care of itself.
AS early as April Mr.. Carlisle refused
to restore confidence by accepting loan
of $25,OOO,OOO in gold from the New
York banks, and though repeatedly i'm
plored to do so he has refused to issue
bonds to restore to the treasury gold its
proper reserve surplus. Not that these
measures would have been effectual
remedies. They would have been only
temporary. But time is what Mr..
Cleveland claimed he wanted. and even
a restoration of confidence for day
would have been valuable.
Any indication that the administra-
tion really had sound views, and in
tended to maintain them at all costs,
would have been received by the mer-
camille interests of the country with
profound qualification.
But no sign has been forthcoming.
The country has been left to struggle
along under its burden as best it could.
The treasury has been allowed to run
itself. Now the alternative is facing
us. We must act at once or suffer the
consequences. Delay and vacillation by
the president and his advisers is the sole
cause for the present condition.

The orations showed a breadth OF
scholarship and depth of study
that will compare more than favorably
with those of the years when intensive
study of the classics and mathematics
was the leading characteristic OF
Browns curriculum.
In short, it does not appear from re-
suits attained that in liberalizing the
courses of study there has been any sacri-
flee Of that power of grasp that comes
of old methods OF study.
Freedom of choice has not produced
dilletanteism. The men who enter col
lege for work are benefited by the

enter for other purposes are not injured.

viCTORlA'S BOUNTY.

Queen Victoria is an eminently pru-
dent and practical woman. Very early
in life, apparently, she learned the very
valuable lesson of how to live within
her income and put something by for a
rainy day. That precept has been her
rule of conduct in later years. In time
of disaster, when the hearts Of the COM
mon people were stirred and their purse
strings let loose to succor distress and
affliction, Victoria has never permitted
her sympathies to overcome her pru-
dence.
She gave, of course, but her gratuity
never materially affected her bank ac-
count, nor was it of such proportions as
to lead her immediate family to con-
slider the advisability of having guard
ian appointed to prevent her from squan-
dering her estate.
The latest evidence of Victoria's pru-
dence is furnished by her donation Of
G100 for the relief of the families of the
four hundred officers and seamen who
lost their lives by the sinking of the
English battle ship off Tripoli. This
will give each family the magnificent
sum of $1.25 or less with which to sooth
their sorrows.
The wonder is that Victoria should
have given this sum outright and with
out reservations of any kind. The
temptation to people who suddenly be-
come possessed of $1.25 to indulge in
lavish expenditure is well known. and
the queen should have guarded against
such danger by placing the amount in
the hands Of trustees with instructions
to divide the income annually among
the beneficiaries.

The Air
We Breathe.

Science teaches us that nature
carefully provides essentially the
same air in all parts of the earth.
Not only are its principal constit-
uents the same, but also Of one un-

At all attitudes and in all parts of
the world-in the streets of the most
populous cities and on the SUBMITS
of the highest hills-the proportion
Of the oxygen to the nitrogen in the
FREE AIR varies but few hundredths
Of ONE per cent.
While the amount of vapor in the
air may vary greatly, and we suffer
no appreciable harm, We must have
an atmosphere with not LESS than 20
per cent. of oxygen. The food we
eat may differ greatly, but the air We
breathe constantly must have oxy-
gen, with the slightest possible varia-
tion.
Bananas and blubber will each
make vital blood; but neither the
one nor the other, or any other food,
can produce a drop of vital blood
without oxygen.
The blood is the life, and the life
blood is sustained only by the oxy-
gen we breathe.
And while nature is lavish in its
supply Of pure air, We often fail to
avail ourselves of the proper amount
of it.

And in the degree that oxygen is

attempts to find a substitute are not
only futile, but waste of time and

believe that you are suffering for
