WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

1t makes very little difference wheth ell
the appropriations of the Fifty-first
congress exceeded those of the Fifty
second by $s,0O0,OO0 or fell short Of
them by S3S,000,000. Within reason
able limits the point to consider is not
how much is spent, bat how il is spent.
In this respect there is little doubt
that the congress, whose second session
has just closed, was deserving of more
severe censure than its predecessor.
There has been some increase i'm PEN
sions it is true, but the general appro-
priation bills for maintaining the govern
ment have been less in all departments.
When an analysis is made of the
methods Of expenditures it is found that
bills Of a private nature and river and
harbor appropriations were greatly in
creased.
These two facts are sufficient TO show
the trend of legislation. Mr.. Holman
and his Democratic friends have made
great cry over expenditures only to
fall into worse pit themselves.

BARBOR FRONTS.

The question of harbor facilities is
not new one in this city. II has had
many enthusiastic advocates, and many
times it has passed through all the
promising stages of discussion only IN
end in nothing.
So universal has been the failure Of
attempts in this line that most of those
who are competent to discuss the sub.
ject are now scarcely hopeful for good
results.
Nevertheless, it may be accepted as
a truism that nothing but a one.sided
development can be attained by the city
until it takes its place as an important
point for New England, coastwise and
foreign commerce.
Boston and New York are trading
centers. Baltimore is rapidly becoming
so. Philadelphia is manufacturing

connect its great railroad systems by a

agitation has sprung up in that city
looking TO that end.
The record of Philadelphia should be
a lesson TO Providence. The expendi.

dollars has given ms deep water for
thousands of vessels. The railroads are
facilities to reach tide-water
with ease and rapidly.
But IL will be impossible 10 commence

What is most needed now is the i'm.

The city has had in hand for some |
time plan for wharves extending from
Hills wharf 10 Sassafras Point. A
vigorous effort made now, followed by
active work, would build docks soon

the full support Of his own party at the
polls.
The hankering for the chief Office of
the state for their mayor seems TO be
ingrained in the blood of the Democrats
of Woonsocket-or such of them as have
not gone off after the newer wing that
Mr.. Heffenan has lately spread. To
see Mr.. Pond the nominee of the party
of the state for the highest Office in the
state would permit many Woonsocket
men TO die happy, to judge by the ten
acity with which they stick to his for
tunes.
. The Democrats Of the other portions
of the state do not want Mr.. Pond for
the candidate, simply because they
know that he cannot hold the party to-
gether. None of the candidates who
have thus far been suggested can do
better, however, and it is thus far case
OF "the devil or the deep sea" as to
which shall be chosen.
The question does not seem to be,
Which man can be the most easily elect
sd9 Rather, Which one will give the
opponents the least majority
Viewing the matter in that light, the
iilemma Of the Democrats is seen to be
most perplexing one.

THE TREATY WITHDRAWN.

President Cleveland has done well in
withdrawing the Hawaiian treaty that
was sent to the Senate by President
| Harrison.
AS no reason was given for the act, il
is impossible to predicate from it what
the Presidents line of policy on the
question of annexation may be-
1t is not necessary to assume that he
has any particular policy to commend
an act that enables the administration
tc begin the consideration of the matter
over again, and possibly from more
sensible and patriotic point of view.
The first fact to be ascertained is
whether Hawaiian people favor annexa-
ton. Any other course would do vio-
lence to the fundamental idea of this
government. 1t ought never to assumed
that this government has any right to
negotiate for foot of territory, or the
control of any country that has been in
any measure independent, unless and
until positive assurance has been given
by the people interested that they desire
such action.
The next step is to consider whether
this country wishes to acquire the ter
ritory and assume the responsibility of
the government on any terms.
Neither of these most important facts
have been ascertained, nor has there
been any attention paid to them.
To begin right it was necessary to
undo that which had been done wrong.
The withdrawal of the proposed treaty
was the obvious and only proper course
for the President to take.
