Major Baeuley, in speaking of the
letter, said TINT at present there Is no
provision in tho states military laws
Tor battery OF artillery, and asked for
au expression OF opinion as to tho nd.
visibility OF going ahead and organizing
an infantry company ii artillery is
found to BIO inexpedient. f"
Major Willis remarked, that an ex.
preston OF opinion should be given the
committee. Though tho letter from
Charleston gives more ENCOURAGEMENT
to the artillery idea than the committee
had expected. there arc many advant-

cry. Among many OF the disadvantages
OF the artillery would be the big expense
for the harness necessary for bnttery,
which he estimated would cost 500,
and would not DO borno by the state, Ali
the state can possibly furnish now are
the guns, and possibly sabres for tho
mon. A bill ia proposed to be presented
before the legislature next winter to
provide for several batteries, and IL it
passes the expense would not be SO
great. The major also wanted to know
whether the company would bear tho
expenses he mentioned. There nre
various ways to raise the iunds-notab!y
by entertainments. At the conclusion
Of his talk he suggested vote be taken
10 decide whether the Wheeling com.
pany shall be infantry if it is found i'm
possible TO form one OF artillery. The
vote resulted in 10 ayes and noes.
Chairman Baguley remarked that no
knew OF no famous military organiza-
ton which is OF, tho artillery arm-aIl
areinfantry. Another argument against
artillery is the fact that the boys would
have to groom their horses.
"Would tho privstes have to groom
the officers horses?" asked ono Young
gentleman.
YES" was the answer, and it did
more missionary work in favor OF inian-
try than all that had been before said
After some further discnsscn Mr..
Harper moved that an expression as to
an infantry company with u Calling
gun RS n side issue be given. The vote
was fifteen in favor OF such an orpaniza-
ton and two against.
The committee was empowered To 90
ahead and see what can be done with
the state officials on the line OF nm mr..
tillery organization, but 1t now looks
like infantry.
A cyclic corps was suggested and it
was said there is plenty Of available
material for such an organization in
this city.
The enrolment OF young men for the
organization has reached fifty-two, and
a number OF applicants were admitted
by ballot at the meeting.

have been placed daily before the eyes of
its readers with gusto which is truly
morbid, bnt equally digusting and
absurd illustrations have been used with
lavish hand. News and its dissemination IL is
the duty of every newspaper TO collect, but
columns upon columns of such stuff daily
simply shows desire TO cater to deprayed
tastes.
so far has this thing been carried that there
is a lurking suspicion in the minds of many
that this morning paper has become
jealous of the peculiar reputation enjoyed
by another sensational evening paper
published in Providence, and that
1t is making mighty effort TO outdo Il In its
own special features. The only moral ng paper
published in Providence has generally been
looked upon as respectable even
IL very monotonous, but its evi
dent desire TO give up the best
part of its space for nearly two weeks to the
unclean and nasty details of Keegan's alleged
career and crimes, will not serve in any way
to maintain its former reputation. Certain
people may like this sort of journalism. but
certainly not the majority of the people.
We have no objection to seeing every paper
give the news, AMI also all details that are
necessary TO convey a clear idea OF the cir
cumstances of the case, bat two weeks
continuance of nasty details and sick
ening horrors is indeed carrying
sensstionalism to excess. 1t is not news.

string out story which can be started with a
'scare head, in order to catch certain readers.

WHY NOTl

There is proposition for big pooling
arrangement by all the principal rail
roads, to control the distribution aud
movement of freight.
Without knowing any Of the particu-
lars, The News is unable to discover
why this should not be done.
1t would put stop to disastrously
expensive rate wars, and other methods
of railroad warfare that sap the cub
stance of the railroads without benefit
ing shippers.
The affairs of the railroads are at
present in desperately bad condition.
They are not likely to be altogether
mended by any return to business prob
able to occur at present.
The cure for the affiiction Of the rail-
roads must evidently be sought in their
management.
1t is conceivable that gigantic
freight-handling trust might be made TO
benefit all shippers, as the Standard Oil
Trust unquestionably benefits every user
of kerosene oil in the country.
This proposed arrangement is not to
be trust, however, but merely traffic
agreement that will embrace nearly or
quite all the great railroad systems in
the country.
1t may be the first general move
toward harmonious management of
all the railroads, embracing all questions
of administration.
A general agreement regarding pas
senger rates. and the adoption of some
form of ticket good on all lines, would
naturally follow the freight-pooling ar
rangement, and would save the roads
millions of dollars in expense, and the
travelling public both money aud vex-
alton.
There is very great work for tho
railroads to do to bring them up to q
paying basis again, and to develop
schemes Of management that will place
them in their proper relation TO the
country's growth and the peoples con-
venience.

ATHLETICS CONCERT.

From the cunning track OF the Athletic
Associations gymnasium last evening the
scene OF the floor was suggestive of Con-
tinental cafe, barring the absence of curl
ing clouds OF tobacco smoke. 1t was tho
occasion of the second club concert.
Reeves orchestra, David +. Phillips
leader, was located on the stage. ON the
floor were several hundred lsdiesand gem
tlemen. They were seated about little
round tables and were indulging in ices
and things to eat and chattering and
listening to the orchestra's music. They
packed the floor space. 1t all made
brilliant picture viewed from the running
track and the big company was equally as
inspiring To stroll among.
The popularity of the Athletics has been
demonstrated in no better way than by
the attendance on the two concerts already
given. In the first place the
concerts, with their charming music
and their informality of social
intercourse and the welcome cafe feature,
are unique In Providence. In the second
place the entertainment Is of a high class.
Reeves orchestra has officiated at the
two concerts now passed, and last evening
the eminent platform reader, Mr.. John
Thomas OF Boston, and Mrs. Anna Scrut-
ton Hough OF this city, gave recitations.
Along about l0:3O o'clock the floor was
cleared and an hours dancing was i'm
duleed In. The gym floor is a fine one to
dance on.
The next club concert will be enjoyed
on the third Tuesday in November. To
accommodate the attendance IL ~ pro-
poeed to utilize the running track as a
gallery. The track makes a wonderfully
nice place from which to watch the ami
mated scene of gym full Of gay people
enjoying themselves to the accompani-
r,ent OF ices and music aud things like
that.

somewhat caustic, are authoritative FOR

Those of ms therefore who were

that the great South had emancipated

heritage of slavery--will be again in

cept as even partly true the recent
words of The Tradesmau. On the

rers. promote the raising of dogs rather

Such is the thoughtful statement, not
of spleen or envy, but of paper whose
very life depends upon the success of
things that make for prosperity in the
South. The "bloody shirt" question
is quite foreign to the issue here raised.
The lynchings, lawlessness and evidences
of moral degradation are a phase
of social conditions, while this
is purely business criticism. This is a
section of tho country which elects over
100 members of Congress that enacts
our business laws and spends the public
funds, and it is not surprising in view of
these facts that the party now
in power has made such q failure
of government or has brought
upon the country condition
which has been more than ordinarily
disastrous. No one need wonder that
Northern and Eastern capital has been
growing more and more conservative
and year by year becomes less inclined
to invest in those sections of the South
where such conditions prevail and where
there is not even the guarantee of per-
manence that comes Of personal energy,
thrift and an equitably administered
local self-government.

THE DENOCRATIC PARTY.

An eminent Republican Con gressman
said the other day. in q speech accepting
denomination, that "there is not law
on our statute books today passed by
the Democrats party that any American
desires to have remain there, with tho
single exception of the Thurman law re-
lating to the Pacific railroads"
This is terrible indictment ofa party
whose most prominent leader pointed
out only few days ago that the Demo-
Gratis had controlled every Congress but
two for series of years.
Is the sweeping accusation of the Con-
gresham true? This is question every
honest man ought to ask, and endeavor
to have answered before he votes next
month.
The Democratic party is everywhere a
party of negation. 1t has not the
quality of positive action, In high or
low places, in Congress or in school dis
tricts, it delights to pull down. Then
it sits contentedly among the ruins,
without ambition to rebuild, and with
out capacity to DO SO il IL had the am
btion.
THE News firmly believes the state
ment of the Congressman quoted is
true-in fact and in spirit. Let every
man endeavor to recall his own knowl-
edge Of and experience with the Demo
cratic party. What can he credit it
with?
What has the Democratic party done

of Providence

ist, brake on progress, stumbling
block. When it has had power it has
failed to put it to any beneficial use !;
practically failed to put it to any use
whatever. 1t has never succeeded in
seizing the reins Of State or municipal
government but the team has been
stopped dead still to allow the party
leaders to wranyle about the direction
to be taken.
The Democratic party is a party of
inaction, of stagnant irresolution. The
simple reason is that it has no creed
but spols of Office, no ambition but to
succeed at the polls, no conception or
statecraft but to hold the tiller, no
policy but the division of rewards, no
honor but that practiced at a pistols
muzzlc, no conscience that cannot be
hidden behind bank note, no patriot
ism but such sentiment as is inspired
in the breast of pot hunter at sight OF
a covsy of quail.
These are not assertions OF o fervid
foe. They are cold, hard, disagreeable
facts, created by the history of the Dem
ocratic party. Their shame is shared by
Republicans, all of whom recognize the
necessity and value Of intelligent and
broad-minded opposition, and lamenS
that the Democratic shibboleth 10, and
always has been: Anything TO worry

FOREIGN WOOL FABRICS.

The Boston Herald learns, all the way
from Bradford, Eng, that the English
woolen and worsted goods market has
not yet been benefited materially by the
lowered duty on those goods provided
for by the new tariff act.
This fact makes it perfectly clear to
The Herald that there is noreason "to be
apprehensive on the score of importa-
tions of worsted and woolen goods"
The Herald is aware, of course, that
the new rate of duty on woolen fabrics
does not apply until January next.
Why, then, does it make such stupidity
dishonest use Of the fact that the new
duty, not being yet operative, has not
affected the market for foreign made
wooden cloth?
1t takes no very acute intelligence
to perceive that thing not yet in ex-
istence must necessarily be without
great influence. Even if the new duty on
woolens were at present operative, there
would be no very marked effect upon
the Bradford market for some months.
Such goods are made up and marketed
several months ahead Of their appear
ance in retail stores. or in the form of
clothing, and the new duty had been so
largely discounted in England before
the tariff act became law that no ap-
parent effect could be observed for some
time.
The first season for English woolens
imported under the new law will be
the fall season of 1895, and that season
can be but partially enjoyed by the
Bradford mills, for the reason that plans
will have been made and orders placed
before January, to great extent.
All this is so radically the A B G of
the wooden business that it seems like
imposing upon tho patience of readers
to mention it. But since The Herald has
assumed to play upon what it evidently
hopes or believes TO be the ignorance OF
its readers to the extent Of treating the
woolen goods duty as already operative,
IL Is certainly not entirely without justi-
fcation that The News refers TO the
facts.
The Herald proceeds to wisely opine
the American manufacturer of woolens
will find means to hold his home mar.
ket, under the new law. To be sure he
will. That has never been debatable
question. The point is that he must
hold IL by reducing the cost
of production, and that reduction
must come chiefly out of the
wages of the mill operatives. The heir
free raw wool will give him il hardly a
factor TO be computed--it is so small.
Processes Of manufacture cannot be
refined beyond the English standard, and
IL machinery is improved the English
viii share the benefit.
The Herald has indirectly hit upon the
pith Of the matter through its bungling
with the duty factor. Americans will
