The business men OF Providence,
without one exception, so far as has yet
appeared, 'indorse the plan of sending a
representative Of the city to the Worlds
fair.
The project has taken a very firm
hold upon the good sense Of all who
have inquired into it, or been informed
regarding it.
1t has now assumed such terrible
shape that committee of prominent
business men has been constituted to
solicit funds to put it into execution.
This throws the responsibility for the
success or failure principally upon the
general business community.
If the small amount of money needed
can be secured Providence will be pre-
pared to make an effort to secure at
least its proportional benefit from the
Worlds fair.
If the money is not forthcoming this
city will be silent spectator of the
growth of other cities more alive to
their own welfare.
Whatever method the committee
adopts to secure this fund will be duly
made known, and for the credit of the
city, as well as to secure for it the great
benefits sure to follow. it is to be hoped
that the responses will be quick and gen.
erous.
Considering the opportunity and the
certain benefits to follow, the sum to be
raised must be said to be exceedingly
modest, and it ought to be assured al
inost the day the request is formally
made by the committee.

The thirteen principal newspapers
published in New York and Brooklyn
last Sunday printed 420 pages, nearly
5000 columns, and over 5, SOC, 900 words.
There never has before been pre-
sented to the public Of one city in one
day such a marvellous evidence of the
capabilities of modern journalism. To
read any one of the papers thoroughly
would have required more than the
whole day. Practically, however, the
task presented to the reader was that of
selecting from the innumerable sub
jects presented, and doubtless every
purchaser of paper did so just as he
would select a book from well-sto cked
library. The variety of topics and the
fulness of their treatment in the metro
politan Sunday newspaper makes the
paper almost equal to a library in itself.
To judge of the effect OF the wide
circulation of this mass of reading upon
the public is impossible, but it cannot
fail to have an educative influence, for
Sunday is the day of all others when
the multitudes rest and read.

up by boldly declaring that the license
commissioners 'can say to the liquor
dealers that If they don't support
the persons they want for city
councilmen they cannot expect to re-
ceive license" Well we'll! this is
interesting indeed, coming as it does
from man who while mayor made the
license board of Pawtucket partisan
by refusing to recognize the minority
as his predecessor, Republican, had
done. Perhaps the explanation Of Mr.
Carroll's attitude toward the bill may
be found in the fact that he has still
hankering after the Office of mayor and
sees in the proposal to take away the
appointing power the destruction of all
his influence with and power over the
liquor element.
The senate will not. in all probability,
be deceived by the specious arguments
put forward yesterday by paid attor-
neys and interested politicians. 1t will
decide the matter entirely upon consid-
erations of what is best for the state.

NOT BACKED BY FACTS.

Not one valid reason for the defeat of
the license commissioners bill was ad-
vanced by those who appeared before
the senate judiciary committee yester-
day afternoon in opposition to the
measure. 1t was urged that the bill
had not been asked for that it was
intended to reward certain wholesale
liquor dealer of Pawtucket for services
rendered, and that if it became law
license boards would degenerate into
political machines.
In no one of these conditions is there
a scintilla of truth, as those who made
them would have known had they taken
the trouble to make inquiry. The bill
was asked for by the city of WoCnsocket
more than year ago and it would have
been passed at that time but for the persis-
tent antagonism of the Democrats in the
general assembly. 1t is, however, neither
usual nor desirable for the law-making
body of the state to delay reforms or
correct abuses until formal request is
made by some city or town council in
any but purely local matters. This
license commission question is not
local one; it affects every part of
the state in an equal degree, and it is,
therefore, both necessary and proper
for the general assembly to take the
initiative whenever, in its Judgment,
the welfare of the commonwealth re-
quires action.
That the bill has not, as asserted by
its enemies, been brought forward in
pursuance of an agreement with Paw
tucket wholesaler, is amply proven by
the record, which will show beyond
question that when the assembly was
engaged in framing the liquor law sub
sequent to the repeal of the prohibitory
amendment the Republicans sought to
have incorporated in it provision for
the election of commissioners by city
councils, but were unable TO do SO be-
cause of Democratic opposition. To
assert that license boards, If elected by
city councils, would become partisan
political machines, is to state what
cannot be proven, and what practical
experience has often shown to be false.
Ex-Mayor Carroll in urging an sd-
verse report said: "This bill puts an
almighty power in the hands Of these
five commissioners" AS a matter Of
fact it in no way affects the powers
OF license boards, neither increas-
ing nor curtailing them. They
will remain. just as they now
are and always have been. Why
thus seek to deceive the committee by
such palpably transparent statement
But Mr.. Carroll did not &. mt himself
with that assertion, for ls fsllo we'd At
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-05-10

The Democratic minority in the lower
branch Of the general assembly took oc-
casion to show that it prefers to work
for "spoils rather than transact public
business. This is, however, not its first
offence in this line, but the cause of it
was too trivial to have deserved a
seconds thought and the final breaking
of the quorum.
1t was simple question: Whether
or not the mayor of Woonsocket should
be ex-officio member Of the sewer
commission. Such a position might
offer a chance for the distribution of
favors and it was at once coveted by the
Democrats. 1t did not seem to occur TO
them that no precedent existed for ap-
pointing the mayor on such commits
sion. Undoubtedly Mayor Pond is
interested in Woonsocket. Every other
citizen is also interested. The sewer
commission should be body Of engi-
neeriDg experts. The work requires
special training which no mayor is sup
posed to have and no mayor now acting
in this state processes to possess. In
other cities such work is assigned to the
department Of public works and is su-
perintended by the city engineer, and
a should be intrusted to men of like
training in Woonsocket.
If the Democrats Of Woonsocket want
= sewer system they want 1t scientific.

AMONG the saccharine sentences with
which the Newport Herald commends
the nomination OF Col. Honey is the
following: "His profound legal know
ledge and professional acumen viii be
of good service in the investigation of
the contested election cases." OF course.
The man who would for love of his
party deliberately burn ballots he had
promised to preserve can be relied upon
to do yeoman service when it comes to
unseating political opponents. But
then Col. Honey is not yet a repre-
sentative.
