PUBLIC PAP"

The Times of last evening tried to dis
credit the Democratic House OF Repre-
sentatives because new clerkships had
been created or allowed by It for its Inn
portant committees. Let US see what are
the facts In the case.
Clerkships have been created, 1t is said,
for the committees On finance, elections
and education. For the first time within
the history OF the State, probably, the APP
propriation bill originated in the Senate
and was prepared before the reports OF
the state Auditor or General
Treasurer reached there. Here.
toiore they have always originated
in the House and Notwithstanding the
fact that the finance bills all went toitbe
Senate ready for concurrence the finance
committee ot that body had a distln-
guisbed lawyer from Bristol for a number
oiyesrs as its cberk and this year the
young man %ho was clerk OF the House
judiciary committee last year is clerk for
the seBste finance committee.
So charge Of extravaganza was made
when the Senate created that clerksbip
and no suspicion arose that it was for
public pap"
The next 10 be considered is the Conn
nittce on Elections. II the Times had
waited until after hearing from yesterdays
Democratic caucus It would hardly criticise
the necessity for clerk for that commit.
tee, at least for this year. Yesterday II
vas decided to push the PsUtucket and
East Greenwich contested election cases
ana il the taking OF testimony such az Is
likely TO be produced from the Second
Ward OF thus city and the "shsdy"
methods on last Spring as well as "Alpha.
bet" Aliens doiugs in East Greenwich
does not keep clerk busy we viii be
surprise
As 10 he charge OF extravaganza be-
cause oi the election Of Serge e1nts- at Arms
in Newport, it has as yet cost the Stale
nothing, but even II IL had, the condl-
tious under winch be House of Represen-
tetIves met justified the appointment and
expenditure.
Unless some stronger case Is put up,
the Times had better remain quiet on the
"public pap" ssue.

BETTER SYSTEM NEEDED.

There is a marked lack OF system on the
electric lines running between Providence
ana Pswtucket which causes great annoy
ance to the patrons. The cars from Provi
dence on the Garden street line return by
way OF Main street, and vice versa. Tue
conductors appear TO have the privilege OF
changing the signs anyw here that IL con-
venient. Sometimes this change is made
at the Garden street switch or on Main
street, and other times the change is not
made un II he arrival ot the cars at toe
end Of tue route. This system OF
changing creates an uncertainty which is
very annoying 10 the patrons and is re-
vervly condemned by those who have been
victimiZed.

BOiSTEROUS STUDENTS
May Be Barred From Commons Building
by the Faculty OF Yale.

NEW HAVEN, Feb. 7.-Yale university
Is greatly excited over the action of the
faculty in threatening to debar several
hundred students from privileges Of the
commons II students don't behave them
selves. Yesterday the faculty had posted
in the commons building a notice calling
students attention to the fact that the
university authorities will emphasize the
rule of maintaining good order in the
commons dining hall and insist on CO.
operation OF students In preserving de-
corum.
The faculty declare that IL there Is
any more boisterous conduct, such as has
been going on for many days, members
, Of the academical and scientific depart
ments who patronize the commons will
have TO withdraw at the close OF the
term. II has been the habit Of students
to send up college cries and yells at wait
ers, and when any thing out Of the Or
dinsry happened in the dining hall, caus-
ing great annoyance, and the faculty was
asked to interfere. The result Is that 400
or 800 students are In danger of being
expelled from the commons to find other
places for grub. The notice created big
commotion among Yale men.

IT is CONDEMN

The policy pursued by the Mayor In re-
lard TO providing work for the uniortu-
nate and distressed has not only proved
itself unpopular but has upon It the
marks OF dismal failure. No matter how
much people may try TO bolster ii up, It
will prove, as it was bound to be from the
beginning when charity and politics were
harnessed up together, as bad a piece Of
business as was ever put forth upon free
people. 1t is condemned by everybody.
Our down town contemporary has
endeavored to assist in upholding this
lost cause But We are thankful to say
the people sec through this hvpocritical
scheme and on all sides are heard the
rumhling and grumbhng against it.

loudest against IT, because they say 1t Is
