RAILROAD DEALS.

The report that the VANDERBILTs ar,
the absorbers of New York a. New En-,
gland stock is enlivening and quite likely
1t is true.
The VANDERBILT railroad interests
are today tremendous. They comprise
influential holdings I'm the Delaware.
Lackawanna d Western, the Delaware
d Hudson Canal Company, the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey, the
Rome, Watertown a. Ogdensburg. the
"Big Four" ana the Chesapeake a. Ohio
Railroad, besides the control of the New
York Central & Hudson River, the Har-
lem, the Lake Shore, the Canada South
ern, the Michigan Central and the Chi
cago q Northwestern railroads, while in
New England they have long been the
leading interest in New York, New Haven
d Hartford and the Boston q Albany.
Between the Consolidated and the b. &
A., is the fine New England system, with
Its 640 miles OF track, its splendid equip
ment, and its tremendous power as com.
petitor OF the VANDERBILT interests.
The situation certainly tends to
confirm belief in the report that
i is the VANDERBILT interest that has
been operating in New England and
securing its stock since the receiyership OF
he road developed its resources SO that
he stock is worth something to buy.
Second in Importance, but still OF i'm.
crest In New England, is the news that
he Boston & Maine Railroad has
ecured control OF the Concord & |
The latter property was
eased to the big corporation at meet
ng of stockholders on Saturday. We
hould say the consolidation was a good
hing for the road that is swallowed and
Dr. the road that did the swallowing.

OUR neighbor, the town OF East Proyi-
dence, is getting good deal of unsayory
advertising because young coiored wo-
man was refused an appointment as school
teacher, solely, it is said, because of her
color. While we regret the circumstance.
we regret also to hold the opinion that
agood many towns would most likely
become similarly advertised il the chance
were made for them.

This is Well Expressed, But Not So
Pawtucket Post.

Pawtucket Post
The Providence News. In discussing the
Cleveland convention Of tho National Repub,
hcan League. makes the assertion that silver
Is local not national issue. The late Gen.
erai Hancock made the same remark about
the tariff; but recent history proves that tho
tarin became national issue. Just as free
silver coinage Is certain TO do. The question
as 10 whether We are are 10 have sound or
aebased currency is not one affecting cer-
tain localities only. The whole nation is con-
cerned-its commercial interests and its credit
are dependent upon a proper settlement Of
the question.
Tho argument OF THE NEws In defence Of
the course pursued by tho convention on this
matter Is as able ono as could be made but
i'wiii not convince the people that the silver
issue was not lodged. Republicans through.
out the country expected from the league q
Instinct and definite declaration In favor of
sound money. That 1t failed TO mako such a
declaration Is regarded, and reasonably SO, as
an indication that the free silver heresy was
FOUND to be too prevalent among the delegates
To mako 1t certain that a resolution against
free coinage could be carried.

RELIABLE NEWS.

If you read THE NEWS Saturday nigh
you learned at once that the launching
OF Defender was, unfortunately, not
success. In fact, from a launching view
1t may be said that a launching, wherein
boat that is launched doesn't reach the
water, is failure. Readers of our con.
temporaries, however, got a different and
quite incorrect view of what happened al
Bristol Saturday afternoon. THE NEWS
told the story as the big army of disap.
pointed spectators actually witnessed the
event.
In the same issue this newspaper told
its readers that vallxyrie III lost her mai
den race to Britannia on time allowance,
while our local contemporaries recorded
the "victory" Of the cup challen ger,
their foreign press service declaring that
"Valkyrie iii won easily''
On Thursday last The Associated Press
Informed THE NEWS that Yale had won
The triangular race at New London, while
our local contemporaries bulletined that
Columbia had woman error due to the
fact that II looked like Columbias race
almost to the finish, but as the race was
not won until 1t was finished, and as The
Associated Press waited to find out what
the finish was before wiring the result,
this newspaper was the first, and for some
time the only, paper in town to bulle tin
the result correctly.
The above are observations citing few
Instances from many when the local,
national and foreign news service of this
newspaper have proved their superiority
over those at the command of competing
newspapers. These happen to have
commanded wide public interest be-
cause OF the peculiar interest in the re-
spective events.
The value of the news in newspaper
Is independent Of the size of the paper
The NEWS is rarely behind hand In
printing the news and is more rarely un-
reliable in what it prints. AS rule IL It
is SO, IL is in THE News. And il it is in
The NEWS it is pretty likely to be SOL
exactly so.

With this number The Mercury enters upon
the iSvth year Of its existence. To no other
newspaper In America has such a measure OF
years been granted. Since The Mercury was
ushered into existence many newspapers have
been started only to flourish for while and
then pass out Of existence. so that, at this day,
even their names are unknown to most of US.
others whose names are familiar to the people
ofShis generation have no knowledge of tho
inhabitants Of the newspaper world of cen.
tury or even a half century ago As The
Mercury has outlived all the compatriots Of
its early youth, held its own with the publ.
cations OF later years, and Is now, after l3s
years OF existence, as vigorous, as staunch to
It's principles and as ready to sustain the
right and crush the wrong as In those troub.
ious times of revolution, when Its motto, Gun.
daunted by tyrants Wen die or be free, p" was
printed on every sheet so may We hope that
It's future VIII bo as bright as its past has
been, and that its columns will always be
found as interesting TO the stranger within
