10 the EDITOR OF rHE NEWs'
Shall we have a breathing place In front of
the new railroad station? This Is greatly
needed, and anxious eyes are waiting to see
tho announcement that the matter is settled
beyond doubt The present status of Provi-
dcnce demands IL, and tho future growth
makes IL imperative.
Now that the cove with It's open space is TO
be supplanted by buildings and bridges. our
city has no public square or park in the
midst OF the crowded and busiest portion, and
its citizens have q right TO complain IL any
other disposition is made Of this space than In
the interest OF fresh air and
beauty. Exchange place. broad and
airy, with its Burnside in bronze
and soldiers monument In granite, overlooke ed
by the fine city hall, may be transposed into n
fine ornamental square by adding the land
vacated by the old railroad station and all t,e
land that can be spared for the purpose.
strangers say Providence Is a beautiful city.
So say we all, but the destruction of the cove,
with its curves and lines OF
b.auty. the combination OF water and
earth, removes what impressed the
traveller on first app oaching our city by
rail. However, ncedful for sanitary Purposes
this destruction, Is nevertheless a loss In q
scenic point Of view. But IL the land not used
for railroad purposes can now be devoted to
adornment and heath even In this respect,
we may be gamers by the change.
Like the front door and entrance OF our
dwellings II IL the most conspicuous place and
the ono which makes the first impression,
"All tho world" as the French say, ENTER and
depart through this main porte cochere. I"
There Is then this added motive TO health and
comfort, Providence Is truly beautiful
for situation. and only needs the cooperation
OF its citizens TO retain and increase It's fair
fame. The opportunity Is NJ hand. This tide
taken nj its food leads on 10 glory and honor
IN Il costs money future generations, for
whose benefit mainly It will be. can pay for Il,
and Il will be even to their children's child
rem n rich Investment.
Perhaps this r. all IN the minds and inten-
tions OF those who are working out this pro
blem. kbrcathing place in the hcsrt OF our
city With green turf. towering shrubs foun-
tain, and other clippings from natures store
house will he lasting memorial IN the hoard
and wise foresight OF the creators Of our peo-
pies inheritance, the city Of Providence.

OUR CONSULAR SERVICE.

The Boston Chamber of Commerce
celebrated it's eighth birthday yesterday
by passing resolutions approving the
course Of the Boston Merchants asso-
citation in taking up the cudgels in favor
of reform of the consular service of
the country SO that it shall stand upon
"merit and permanency rather than
upon the "spoils SYSTEM" The
Chamber of Commerce in it's
resolutions says that "we
heartily approve of such effort; that we
regard the time favorable for wise ac-
tion in this direction, and that although
the subject bristles with difficulties, dis
regarding all party feeling and affection,
the agitation should be continued until
a scheme shall be devised and adopted
by congress which shall place this i'm
portant national service on such foot
ing as shall redeem the reputation as
we'll as conserve the great material
interests of our country"
"We regard the time favorable" is a
very naive way Of getting in cut direct
at Josiah Quincy and his now quiet little
hatchet. The Boston Herald, which has
recently been threatening dire vengeance
on those who have had the temerity to
criticise Quincy for his prostitution Of
the consular service to reward partisan
workers can now see how the merchants

The notices Of ten per cent. cut
