appeals more successfully to business
men than any Of the others. purports to
be for the benefit of the relief association
of certain class OF city employees.
A history is 10 be published,
but the solicitor asks for "A contribution
to the relief fund. and explains that no
does not xpect merchants to regard the
advertising card printed in the history
as an equivalent of the money paid.
II is learned that the protector Of this
enterprise pays the relief association in
whose name he makes his request
for contributions stated sum for
such use Of its name, and that
beyond that the association expects to
reap no benefit from the publication,
unless the "history' is sold in excess of
1000 copies, when percentage is to be
turned over 10 the association.
Tue net effect Of such scheme as this
is that merchants pay TO the agent two
or three times rs much as the agent pays
To the relief association, in the expecta-
AloA Aiidl lut tSSNldbAoi 10 w icCCAFO
The scheme, however, is simply busi-
ness venture for the agent. lie is out
for the stuff-and he usually gets it.
Quite proportion OF the advertising
that is solicited in the names OF societies
fairs, semi-public institutions, ETC., is
managed in this way, and of money
paid by merchants in the belief
that it is to be applied to the support of
a worthy object only small proportion
is actually SO applied, while the balance
goes into the pocket of the shrewd soli-
citor who usually is unable to get liv-
ing in any other way.
1t is scarcely Necessary to point out
that this sort of business is getting
money under false pretenses. Those
societies that lend themselves to such
schemes will in the end suffer severely,
as business men will become distrustful
and be disinclined to aid in support of
worthy objects.
Societies and institutions whose object
is Of a nature to benefit the public should
make their appeal directly TO men they
expect aid from. They will rarely fail
to secure generous responses-and they
will get the full benefit of the business
mans liberality.

AN IMPOSSIBLE NEWSPAPER.

1.-The Point of View" in Scribner's
Magazine for November has an article
that doubtless will awaken a faint sym
pathetic response in nearly everybody
who reads it. 1t sets forth the need, or
the want, of a political newspaper
a NEWS PAPER.
IL needs no argument TO show that
there is nothing of the sort in existence
in America. Itdoes need both argument
and proof to show that such paper is
desired or could possibly live.
The writer calls for ga paper that
would sternly abandon all purpose to
characterize, in its news columns, the
intelligence it publishes, and that would
make that intelligence full and trust
worthy"
It is probable that this complainer
needs 10 have the news assimilated for
him for the reason that it would save
him some labor; either labor he now
feels bound TO perform for his own de-
lectation, or labor he is required to per-
form in his pursuit Of calling or pro-
fesSion.
If his desire for newspaper of the
sort he mentions is real, THE NEWS begs
TO inform him that there is one with
easy reach of him that would probably
be ready for his perusal when he reached
his Office in New York o'mornings if he
subscribed.
1t is called the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, and, 30 far as the knowledge Of
The News extend, it is the only news
paper of any considerable prestige or
circulation in this country that answers
the requirements of the Point of
View writer--that is in fact outside
its editorial columns, a newspaper.
There are many papers that claim TO
give "all tha- news" but il is not possi-
bic for them TO DO SO. or to give the
news about such "news' as they do
print.
The cause is found in the disposition
OF newspaper readers. rather than In the
disposition Of newspaper editors and
publishers. The great majority of
PEOPLE do not want the news stripped

AS TO CERTAIN ADVERTISING.

The kind Of advertising that yields re-
suits definite enough to be recognized
is chiefly newspaper advertising.
This fact is becoming better known
every year, bnt it does not prevent the
constant working Of schemes that yield
benefits only to those who work them.
This observation is prompted by the
knowledge of number of advertising
schemes that are now being exploited to
the business men Of Providence, or
recently have been, There is nothing
new about them except that they always
seem new to the too easily betrayed
business man.
A sleek and brave gentleman calls
upon merchants and represents himself
as engaged In compiling history Of
some local institution of public
nature, that relies upon voluntary con-
tributions for its support--a hospital in
course of construction, it may be, a
labor organization, or a benefit fund to
support disabled and aged firemen or
policemen.
The appeal is TO the public spirit of
the merchant, and he yields to IL, taking
space in the proposed book and paying
a tremendous price therefor when his
business sense tells him that It's value rs
an advertisement is much below the cost
TO him.
There would be little cause for com
plant il these enterprises were entirely
for the benefit of the institutions under
whose names they are Prosecuted. They
are, however. principally for the benefit
OF the shrewd solicitors who work them,
the institutions selling TO them the use
of its name for a stated sum.
One Of these schemes, that probably
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-11-03

of all bias. They would never believe
in IL nor read it,.
No newspaper could follow the course
indicated by this writer without having
an immense capital. an immense
prestige, or field lazily content to
let the wide world wag as it will.
The paper recommended to him has
all three. Nowhere but in Philadelphia
could it be- successfully published. But
since ii is published there those people
elsewhere who are minded like Phila-
delphians may have it IL they will.
Politics is feeling in America, not
reason. Not one man in thousand who
is interested in politics can believe the
truth about the other side and not be-
ing able to believe the truth he can
not be content to read it. 1t seems like
a lie to him.
A paper ideally like that suggested
would have one believing reader only
its editor.

FIGURES THAT TALK.

Twenty-Five thousand, two hundred
and forty-nine Democratic votes were
cast against the Republican candidate
for Governor in the spring OF 1891.
twenty-five thousand, four hundred
and thirty three votes were cast for the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate in
1892.
Twenty two thousand and fifteen
Democratic votes were cast in 1893.
Twenty two Thousand six hundred and
fifty were. cast in 1894.
Bnt the Republican vote grew from
2O,995 in 1891 to 29.15 in 1894 when
Governor Brown received plurality of
6507 votes.
In other words, the Democratic vote
is practically unvarying-in season and
out of season-in off years and all kinds
Of years.
To elect Republican it is
necessary TO bring out the
vote - absolutely necessary to
bring it out. And if it is brought out,
the election of the Republican candi-
dates is assured.
Ifit is not brought out. the Republican
candidate is likely to get left. The
Democratic candidate always gets his
party vote.
This applies particularly to the four
Congress districts which includes the
big vote of the City of Providence
Come out, Republicans, next Tuesday,
and vote!

polls to mark KS in the proper place on
the ballots.
Every Democrat who still hangs TO the
Democratic party will go to the polls
next Tuesday. 1t is the duty of the
Republicans to meet them there and
overwhelm them. 1t is the campaign
managers duty TO see that they come
out and do it.
Get up and hustle!

their own comments with them:

ARNOLD.
Hon w. %. Arnold.


ARNOLD.
Hon w. D. Arnoldi
Dear Sir:-Rhode Is
land has the reputation
OF holding corrupt elec-
lions. Recentginvestiga-
tions have shown be-
yOnd a doubt that bri-
berry has at times been
rife within the limits OF
the Second Con fres-
sional District. For this
humiliating state OF
affairs no one party is
exclusively responsible.
The wrong and crime
has now become so notO-
rious that ! do not see
how in the future any
candidate can es cape re-
sponsibility for the cor
ruption of voters when
carried on in his behalf.
Is IL not within your
power and mine 10 make
the pending election a
clean one on both sides Z?
so far as 4 am con-
cerned- and In this po-
sitiOn / am cordially
supported by the Demo
cratic committee in
charge OF the campaign
no money or its equiv
alent shall be expended
or promised, directly or
in iirectly, to Improperly
influence a single vote
in connection with this
election.
GI ask and urge upon
you to make "a ii e.
pledge in the same pub ic
manner. By so dong,
not only will the present
campaign end In accord
ance with the real senti-
meats OF the electors,
but a foundation will
have been laid upon
which the good name OF
the State In time may be
rebailt. Very respect
fully,

GARvIN.
Or, l.. Il. G. Garvin:
Dear sir-l have read
your letter, without date,
addressed to me through
a ne Nspaper. ! am aware
that you and those with
whom you act have been
in the habit OF spreading
abroad statements inju-
rious 10 the good name Of

didate, shorter. ii is true,
than yours. has not sug-
gested 10 me that they
are founded In fact. and

TO give them further
currency by following
out your sugge tions.
Ifyour frequent expert
ence as the candidate
Of your party has
served 10 bring To your
attention the great
amount of bribery and
corruption among your
constituents, which you
so freely charge. would
Il not be well for you TO

cal friends before offer
ing your services to
others?
AS to the pending elec-
tlon, | think there Is no
reason to doubt that il
will be conducted on
my side honestly and
In accordance with

prehend that any fraud

attem ted in any quar-
ter, / should feel s0re

admit, would serve any
good purpose or aid in

any reform.

WHAT WILL PROVIDENCE DO?

WHAT WILL PkUNlDENCE DOs
The News is cock-sure that Hon.
WARREN o. ARNOLD Will be elected to
Congress, by biz .,urality, over in the
Second Rhode Island District, next
Tuesday.
THE News is afraid, however, that
Hon. MELVILLE BULL will not find his
plurality 80 big as he ought to
in the First District.
Mr.. ARNoLDs constituency is made
up of number of comparatively
smut and c0mpact communities, and
if the Republican vote in all of them
should fall short, the effect on the total
vote would not be serious. Besides,
every town Of any size in the Second
District is either Republican in lis
natural political preference. or possibly
Democratic by only small majority.
In the First District, however, as goes
the big city of Providence so goes the
district. Besides. there are other big
towns, which, If Republican, only give
a small party majority out of a large
total vote.
The city of Providence is disputed
territory. When it is walked up it
goes Republican. When it is not
walked up it goes Democratic. A
Democrat, as such, always votes. If he
is inclined to go back on his party, he
usually does it by not voting. He rarely
permits himself to vote the Republican
ticket. The chief hope for n
swelling of the Republican vote in
Providence lies in the so-called
independent Republicans who vote with
the Republican party when they feel
justified. They will undoubtedly feel
justified this year. The intelligent
workingman may also be expected to
vote the Republican ticket this year If
he has heretofore been accustomed
to voting for Democrat There
are lots of such independents
and such workingmen in Providence aud
they may keep the Republican vote up.
Otherwise there is fair likelihood
the city of Providence giving OSCAR
LAPBAM plurality - and plurality
which it will be hard for the Republicans
in the small towns aud in Democratic
Newport to overcome.
The Republican campaign committee
of the First District should look this
situation squarely in the face. Colonel
OSCAR LAPHAM is a strong can didate.
He is widely known throughout the
city and is everywhere popular
He accepted denomination only on
the assurance that the full party sup
port would be secured for him. He is
likely to get it. The Democrats are
holding meetings in all the voting pre-
cincts possible, and are beating
up the bush in Colonel LAP
HAMS interest. The Republican
campaign committee is distributing
half-tone portraits of their Candidate
mounted on crushed strawberry card
board
THE News expects 20 see Colonel BULL
sent to Congress, and is putting
in its best ticks for MIN, but
it feels that his managers should under
stand clearly thatthey have no soft snap
and thai. while this is year when
majority of the people are in opposition
to the Democratic party, that is not the
~.

The BETTER and The GOOD.
"The better is the enemy of the good"
is an old German axiom. The good is
good enough until the better is seen.
AT every wedding, every reception, the
gowns from our establishment showed
them to be "the better" "Mrs. Cars
America" has been said lately by
prominent lady from ont of town whose
orders had just been filed in our work
room, "and when l compare style, fit,
materials and quality of work, don't
see how she does it at such reasonable
prices
PRICE ATTRACTIONS!
QUALITY attractions, too! That is
what low prices mean at LADD'S.
Nothing old. nothing shopworn, moth
ing "cheap'-only on the principle that
the best things at the lowest prices are
bound to be the cheapest.
No prices are so low as LADD'S,
quality considered. And quality is
always the prime consideration.
That is why it has become shopping
axiom in Providence and vicinity that
LADD'S is the cheapest place in town to
make purchases. They have choice and
exclusive things at the price of the
commonplace. Hence-BARGAINS.
