The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-10-25

on producing LOT the ihotuo'ioh, a."
formation and editcation OF the rest OF
US, an official, authoritative and numeri-
caIly complete presentation of The Jour
nal "movement" in Infantry hall last
evening.
Six hundred of our fellow-citizens an
swered the roll call and while some who
were thus corralled may have been pres
ent more out of curiosity than for the
purpose OF identifying themselves and
marching under the standard Of the
movement yet there were some who are
known TO be leaders in the movement
but who were not there. So IT Is reason
able to believe that we need not make any
discount from the sum total of the army
OF publication, indignation, reform and
what not that has been aroused to high
pitch of enthusiasm, not to say frenzy,
by the disinterested efforts OF the Proyi-
dence Journal. We repeat our sentiment
OF congratulation on the work OF the
Rhode Island Citizens Lesgue-whatever
that may be-in thus enabling the rest OF
MS TO count them. Now we know where
we are at.
And, furthermore, we should say that
the roster loses nothing OF any sc-
count by reason OF the sbsentess, con-
spicuous as some OF these may be, for We
know that though absent in the flesh,
their 'earts must ever bs true to Poll.
There was, for instance, no real need
OF the presence OF The Journal corpora
tion on the platform or in the audience.
1t was represented by able and conseien-
tious reporters and besides everybody
knowswithout the necessity of especial en-
lightenment that The Journal is "agin'"
everything that is and for everything
that is not, and that from Mr.. BAssErr
up the flights to Mr.. BOOMER, The Jour-
nails aginness comprehends everything
aud 10 as exhaustive a. vacuum pump.
Our esteemed friend, Mr.. GOODMAN A.
CAST, president Of the Society for the
Consideration Of Other Folks Troubles,
was not there, either, but those WHO
know Mr.. CASTS innate modesty as well
az his devotion to the cause of other
folks troubles viii not attribute his alb
sence to anything else but conscientious
conviction that the consideration Of other
folks troubles In all their various phases
would be 80 thoroughly compassed by
the meeting that his personal presence
could thus only mean an itching for
personal MISUNDERSTANDING far
removed from his nature.
Our reporters looked earnestly for Mr..
HOWARD o. sTURaEs, who Is mentioned
as an indignant candidate for the Coun-
Gil. They were unable to discover him,
but there was q rumor afioat through the
hall to the effect that citizen had been
seen outside the entrance wearing kid
gloves and an expression of countenance
that indicated . desire to 60 In, but that
other citizens identified as friendly to
Mr.. sruRoEs' candidacy, prevailed upon
him to depart unless he would consent
to the removal of the kid gloves as, 1t was
believed, these would excite strong oppo-
sition. The rumor further had 1t that
while the unknown citizen was consider
ing the matter, word reached him that
the kid gloves had already been discov-
cred and he took his departure forth
with. Such an eminent appreciation OF
the fitness of things 10 characteristic OF
Mr.. sTURoEs as q citizen OF in bred gentle
manly instincts. Colonel r. III. l. GODDARD,
also mentioned as a man Of the people,
and widely known asa gentleman pos
sessed by Nature OF that most gentleman
Iy OF traits 10 be never "out" with the
company you are in, had the tact to stay
away altogether from a meeting where
an evening suit, which should always be
