TRUE INDEPENDENCE

Says our very much esteemed contempo-
rary the Pawtuxet Valley Daily Times
POLITICALLY, The Times is an indepen-
dent newspaper, but as matter Of fact
it goes with the Republican party every
time. 1t is our aim always to combine
true independence with patriotism
and common sense"
True independence means just that.
Patriotism and common sense are essen
tial elements Of true independence.
True independence does not consist In
kicking, simply. The twelfth man on the
jury who complained because the other
eleven did not agree with him probably
fattered himself on his independence.
But he wasn't an Independent in the
true and lofty meaning Of that splendid
word. He was simply n kicker. A
mule is kicker, too, but no
one would think of regarding
the mule with favor as an
exponent of independence. Your mug
wump is of the same nature. He imag-
ines he is an independent because he
kicks at established parties and sets up
a standard of his own that bears none
of the emblems of either patriotism or
common sense. He is no more a true
independent than is bull in a china
shop.
No stree. AS our contemporary of
the Pawtuxet Valley rightly observes,
patriotism and common sense are essen
tial to the dignity that appertains to
true independence in politics. Aud, as
is the case with our contemporary, the
exercise Of patriotism and common
sense inevitably makes Republican
of him who is truly independent
in politics. Not that the
Republican party has monopoly OF all
the patriotism and common sense in the
land, but 1t has demonstrated often
enough that IL has the larger share of
then. Aud the more broad-minded
and intelligent is the quality Of inde-
pendence the more surely will it make
a Republican of him who exercises it.

We quote, with sympathy for the sub
ject thereof, the following remarks from
our red-hot Democratic contemporary,
The Tribune OF Pawtucket:
committeeman T.. j. Mccarthy has fiocked
with every political party and ism which has
sprung up since hc has had vote. He now
fiocks with the "better" element of the
Dem ocratic party-erstwhile he fiocked with
the Republicans. then with the other OLA
podrida which has occasionally come TO the
surface"
While we are not concerned about the
alarming process of disruption in the
remnant of the local Democracy, we re-
gret the circumstance, in so far as 1t may
bring harm to our esteemed friend Mr..
p. j. MCCARTHY, late disturber OF the
peace of our own Common Council. We
deprecate any quarrel that shall cause
him suffering. We don't know just what
sort of thing the "better element" Of
the Democratic party is, but if Mr.. Nc
CARTHY aspires to represent it we feel
disposed to take it to our bosom. We
know that our sympathy will be more
than repaid by the fun we shall get out
of it, for anything that Mr.. MCCARTHY
identifies himself with is bound
to furnish amusement sooner or
latter. We had feared, when,
regardless of the obvious desire of the
public to be entertained, our normal
friends, the Republicans of Ward 9, dis
placed Mr.. MCCARTHY from their delega-
tion to the Council, that our friend had
disappeared forever underneath the
fragile crust of publicity, and we should
know him no more. But it appears
that he has poked his head
up through the crust again and
we are glad of lt-even if he only APP
pears AS a representative of that intan-
gible thing which The Tribune describes
as the "better element of the Demo-
cratic party We welcome him back to
public life in any guise. We
want him with us. We shall
throw the full light of our calcium
upon him SO that we may see him and
enjoy his doings. And we protest against
the unkind, uncalled for and entirely
unwarranted remarks of The Tribune on
the occasion of p. j. McCarthy's reap
pearance.
Go to rancorous newspaper!
Hurrah for p. j. MCCARTHY! May
his shadow never grow less

the recent Gould nuptials came up.

STORIES OF HEROISM.
No. 81.

VII was the date Of Kill
the Enemy's patriok's attack on
c:4.t the defenses of
Sdpildi. Richmond with 500
troops and single battery All things
considered, this was the boldest raid of
the war. After passing around Lees
army ON the Rapidan, Fitzpatrick sent
detachment under Colonel Uric Dahl
gren to cross the James river, then
countermaroh and reoross by the bridge
into Richmond at 10 a. m, March 1,
at which hour the main column, led by
the general, would attack from the
north. Through the ignorance of guide
Fitzpatrick missed the road and arrived
at the Notifications on Brook pike at
D. m. three hours late. A telegraph
operator at one of the stations passed
by the raiders sent message to Rich
mond alarming the garrison, and Kill
patrick found bis road blocked by in
fantry and artillery behind an earth
work commanding the pike ard barri-
cade across the road. Nothing daunted,
the Fifth New York cavalry advanced
as skirmishers, followed by storming
column Of 900 men, led by Major Will
liam Patton, Third Indiana eavalry.
The enemy was forced back beyond
knoll, where Fitzpatrick planted his guns
to she'll the city. When all was ready
for grand advance, heavy columns Of
Confederate infantry and artillery were
seen marching forward to repol the
raiders. Convinced that Dahlgren had
failed to cross the bridge and spring the
attack in tho rear, Fitzpatrick retired
seven miles from the city and bivouacked
for the night. The attack. incomplete
as it was, cost the raiders GO killed and
wounded. Dahlgren had been unable TO
cross the James and turned back. His
column ran into ambush. and the
leader was killed. The region was alive
with enemies, and Kilpatriok's band
had to cut its way out down the penin.

The first number following the overture,
the Forty-second Psalm, by Mendslssohn,
was the most elaborate selection of the
evening, and was mag gnifcsntly rendered.
Difficult solos were sung by Miss
Flora Provan, whose voice makes up in
clearness and sweetness what it lacks in
strength to quite fill Infantry Hall.
The quartet were Messrs. II. 4. Brown, E.
M. Wheeler, +. l.. Martin, and w. w.
Flint. 1t
Mr.. w. II. Rieger sang twice and each
time was obliged to respond to an en-
thusiastic recall that would not be salts
hed with bow. Mr.. Rieger has been
called by many concert goers the best
tenor in the country. While ac-
tually hearing him 1t Is not
difncult to agree to that
rather sweeping statement. And the
honors of the evening were divided be-
tween him and the wonderfully sweet
voiced and captivating Miss Juch, who
sang the aria from "Queen of Sheba,"
as announced on the printed program for
Nordica and the the aria from Hero
diade." that was substituted for her bene-
tit.
Mr.. Jordan's "Barbara Freitchie" was
sung for the first time here and scored a
well deserved success. Nothing could be
more inspiring than the words of Whit
tiers familiar ballad, sung by the spendid
chorus OF the Arion Club, and Miss Juch,
who had never heard of the music be-
fore, enhanced the pleasure of listening
to 1t by her solos. In the orchestration
are very cleverly introduced suggestions
of Dixie and Star Spangled Banner. Moth
ing but repetition OF the last part would
induce the audience to cease applauding.
Mr.. Jordan's national hymn, +" Great
Western Land" is another splendid piece
of work with the qualities that appeal to
something besides the love OF good music.
E" King Olaf's Christmas /" was finely
rendered by the male memb bers of the
chorus, with accompaniment by the
string quintet, organ and piano, and with
the solos Of Mr.. Rieger and Mr.. Martin.
A new feature was the participation In
the concert of the Einklsng, O singing
society of Providence Germans. Under
the leadership OF Herr Gustav Saacke they
sang "Der Tag des Herrn" and "Abend
Fier" in q manner consistent with the
excellence of the concert throughout.
The accompaniments were furnished by
the regular orchestra under the direction
of Emil Mollenhauer, in the usual manner
that left nothing to be desired. Mr..
Clarence Hamilton presided at the organ
and Mrs. A. b. Carthell was the pianist.

Housewives and servants.

HOUSEWIVES anu SeENeutss
There's an idea for discussion at the tea
table this evening. The great crowd at
the Arion Coucert last evening was COM
posed of the representative people OF the
city. There were many housewives pres
ent, and the servants were, presumably,
at home. How many wives are there who
are little better than servants under
the disguised name OF help meet?
A wife who has to do the
cooking, mending, family washing,
ironing, caring for the children, bring up
the coal, split wood and build the
fire, comes pretty near being a servant,
and more than half the time her efforts
are not appreciated by the great am Of
the household who gave her to understand
when he married her that she should be o
bird in cage and fed with silver spoon.
No wonder there is a continuous turmoil
among the women champions of their sex
to get chance to legislate

Emma Juch's Wonderful Reception.
Lillian Nordica Unable to Sing.
Miss Emma Juoh has been credited with
being equal to any emergency and last
evening she proved her right to that
distinction by saving the Arion Club and
its leader, Mr.. Jules Jordan, from much
embarrassment and by changing the dis
appointment Of 1000 people to sincere de-
light.
Lillian Nordica had been advertised to
sing at the second concert OF the Arion
Club, In Infantry Hall, last evening, and
almost at the last moment she had tele-
graphed Mr.. Jordan that illness made 1t
impossible for her to keep the engage
ment. That was yesterday noon. dis
patch was sent to Miss Juch at New
York. She wired back that she would
fill the bill, and five hours later
she was receiving an ovation In Infantry
Hall. There were 1000 people at tie con-
cert, and nothing could have better shown
the popularity Of Miss Juch In this city,
than the instant return OF pleas urable
anticipation and content at being pres
ent, when Mr.. Jordan followed his an
nouncement of Nordics's illness, with the
statement that her efficient substitute
was on the way. .e..

We quote, with sympathy for the sub
ject thereof, the following remarks from
our red-hot Democratic contemporary,
The Tribune OF Pawtucket:
