In recent letter to the RECORD UNION
by Professor Moses on the new Mexican
law concerning train robbers, he told Of
the reasons for visiting summary pun
ishment upon these public enemies
namely, that it is found necessary in
order to suppress the banditti disposition
of the lower orders of the population,
who have looked upon and engaged in
brigandage for two centuries or more.
The dispatches Of yesterday tell US of the
application of this law. under which the
bill of personal rights is suspended as to
train wreckers and robbers and officials
are authorized to shoot these fellows as
soon as taken. The Son ora robbers were
taken to the scene of their crime and shot
to death. There was no trial. All the
officials had to do was TO satisfy them
selves of the identity of the offenders and
then to execute them and report to the
Governor of the State what had been
done. Under such system innocent
men may suffer, but assuredly it will put
an end to train and highway robbery.

WHAT WILL SHE DOs
Wontankind asks /:

WOnluIlRlflO ASKS.
The young woman who comes from the
schools and colleges this month, diploma in
hand, expects in a majority OF cases to &C
complish something in the world, and for the
world. What VIII she do?
Much. Provided, however and always.
that she is content to aot and be as was
intended for her by nature, which inten-
tion Is established in the eyes of good
judgment by her physical constitution,
by the equipment of an emotional nature,
by the Quitting that made her the
weaker vessel, by the natural and unoon-
querable disposition to seek refuge in
mans strength, by the patent proofs that
she Is not constituted to assume the judi
cial attitude. by the obvious evidences
that man was intended to be the prinoi-
pal and first bread winner. as she was in
tended to be the principal and first do
mestio carstaker and conserver.
We are inclined to believe with Pro-
fessor Lombroso that nothing more un-
fortunate could befall to woman than to
put upon her the duties and responsible
ties of men, by making her the political
and business equal of man. That to do
SO will parslyze those qualities that make
her gentle, msrciful and affsctio nate, and
by contortion make her cold, hard, cruel,
unjust and meroiless.
No one holds woman In higher respect
than those who oppose the proposition to
put her upon political. business and re-
Bponsible level with men. No one has
higher regard for mother, sister, wife and
daughter than the RECORD UNION. and
out Of that high estimate comes the con-
viotion that to disturb her present condi-
ton as the woman rsformers would do,
would mean to inf1iot upon her the great
est possible injury. and produce in not
more than three generations a sex in
which would be recognizable only the
physical characteristics that distinguish
women from men, and even these would
be to some extent modified.
Yes, the diploma girl. who is in evil
dsnos just now, in her purity. loveliness,
fearlessness, trustfulness, affection and
white muslin, will accomplish some
thing in the world, and for the world; all
that she ought to accomplish, if she keeps
out of the net OF the new woman. and re-
jects the fallRcies of the woman reform
srs; if she insists upon being non-
smanoipated, and being the maiden, wife
and mother, with all the duties, response
bilities and glories these imply. She will
accomplish her mission and do the world
infinite good and herself all benefit if
she keeps out Of the marts of commerce,
does not soil her skirts with the CRIME of
trade. keeps clear of the coarse friction Of
the shop and the counter, steers straight
for the home, and does not insist upon
wearing pencil in her back hair.

THE CANDIDATE wfTH A PAST.
Not the least interesting OF the many
features and factors that contribute to
the making Of interest in whatever do
ings our esteemed fellow-citizcn, Mr..
HENRY CoALCLARK, is going to do, is the
fact that our HENRY is himself a man
with a past a political past.
The spectacle OF our HESRy's present
position in the public eye as a professor
of reform, pure, unadulterated, undefled
fuIl-weight reform. must have a tendency
to make the abundant remains OF our
Jate fellow-citizen, Mi. WALTER PROCTOR,
%inn-holder and politician, turn uneasily
In their last resting place and long to
burst their dsisied bonds and give a mes
sage to the startled earth.
Mr.. PROCTOR formerly served the gem
eral public with the miscellaneous bill
OF fare that made famous the old Hoyle
Tavern, and to him was wont to resort,
for guidance ana ~helpfulness, our esteem
ed felIcw-citixen, Mr.. CLARK. In those
good old days 'sreformers" and ''inde-
pendentsn had never been heard OF. A
man in politics was cit her one thing or
the other, fish, flesh or fowl. And II was
the kind that Mr.. CLARK represented in
the old Eighth that Mr.. PROCTOR served
In a political capacity-for a reasonable
remuneration, OF courss. In those days
it no more occurred to Mr.. CLARK that
he would ever be a reformer than It did
to Mr.. PROCTOR that he would ever be an
srchangel. Mr.. CLARK understood Mr..
| PROCTOR and Mr.. PROCTOR understood
Mr.. CLARK on a basis that was mutually
agreed to. Politics cost money in those
good old days and Mr.. P%RocToR's cohorts
OF trusty mercenaries came high-rarely
too high, though, for Mr.. CLARK's vault
ing political ambition. To be sure Mr..
CLARK never got anywhere in particular,
but he made things lively for the other
fellows-a good deal more lively than he
has since he became a reformer and aban-
doncd practical politics for the pursuit of
epistolary literature.
Today Mr.. CLARE Is a reformer and
Mr.. PROCTOR is dead. Far be II from us
to speak uncharitably Of either. May
| peace and content accumulate and settle
like hundred tons Of Plymouth coal
about the respected head of Mr.. CLARK.
To the late Mr.. PROCTOR -peace to his
rotund shade!

IT is simply impossible to keep track OF
and refute the missiaiements OF The
Journal and its so-called reformers. Such
and so frequent recklessncss Of state
mcnts, such untruthfulness Of remark,
such adding with facts, such fooling
with figures, such absurdity of deduction
were never before flung at he heads OF an
intelligent citizenship. 1t is believed that
so much OF this stuff has already been dis
credited that neglect to expose further
items In so-caIled "charges" rejecting on
the integrity Of the city government and
the good name and financial rating OF the
town itself will not affect the decision OF
the public that the so-called "reform
movement" is based only on absurdity
aud mslevolence.

a SUGGESTION.

At the suggestion OF Council Candidates
WRATHBoNE GARDNER and CHARLES
SlssoN, In their brief remarks the other
evening, we beg to submit the following
platform, on behalf OF "reform," to the
consideration of the voters OF Ward Two
who are asked to support these gentlemen
on Tuesday next:
Whereas, 11he salary OF a Councilman Is only
$500; and.
Whereas. The value Of a Councilman's serv.
ice ia 10 times that: and.
Whereas. We cannot. IL elected, be blamed"
II we make something ON tho side; and,
Whereas, The people Of Providence. l.G 600
in number, yearn to indulge themselves in
frequent journeyings from Randall square to
Fox Point; therefore, be- 10
Resolved, That we approve ~ paying re.
form candidates, " elected. 5000 a year for
their services ne Councilmen or else,
Resolved. Failing to secure such increase OF
salary. we shall not "blame" them II they
use their offices To compensate themselves"
10 their own satisfaction and be 10 further -
Resolved. That such an arranscmen. bo
made that citizens may pass tho time in jour
neying from Randall square e. Pox Point at
a cost OF not exceeding b cents.

A CASE IN POINT.

After a long period of Republican su-
premacy in nationa. affair the Democratic
brethren demanded that they be given q
chance to show tine people how much
better they could administer the affairs
OF the government. With the assistance
OF a lot OF people who thought it fair to
let them try a chance was brought about.
We all remember the change and we do
not want to forget 1t, ether. "Good
government" prosperity unlimited was
promised. Did we get it? Not much!
Now here Is anothe just such case. The
same fellows are making the same prom
Uses and II they are allowed to succeed
the same result will follow. II II q good
thing TO let a good thing alone The
business OF the city has always been we'll

probably attend to it Is well, at least, o.
any others who nave thus far shown up

support. BY reason OF receiving a reason

CUMMINGS has undoubtedly laid up q

evidence OF this. lie has profted
that WINS never contemplated by the law
governing his Office or by the people
who elected him 10 his trust. In abso-
lutte control OF expenditures, trusted as
an honest public servant, ne has mulct-
ed the city treasury. That is the plain
fact. Nothing more han the figures
presented is needed to demonstrate il.
Their meaning is clear. Perhaps the
cook at the poor department. may have
occasionally been allowed her %rations.
Perhaps ever the matron. But the cook
snd, the matron never ate up ali the
choice stuff that those high-class trades
men, grocers DODGE & CAMFIELD, and
marketmep CALEF BROTHERS have fur
nished. Mr.. CUMMINGS has been living
well and the city has paid his bills. Sew
enty-fve dollars a month, for market and
grocery, even with occasional vanilla
cream thrown in, is better ''victualing"
than the average taxpayer enjoys.
In total, out OF an appropriation OF say
SIS, 600 a year for the poor fund. the
money thus expended by Mr.. CUMMINGS
for bis personal living is, TO be sure, not
previously large. AT the rate Of expense
Of tho bills we publish it could not
amount to more than 1000 a year. But it
is enough to explain why Mr.. CUMMINGS
has sometimes been compelled to make
fine determinations in desiing with the
poor ia order to keep within bis appro-
priation.
Only yosterd. y we published a COM
munication from one OF our leading citi-
zcns that took us TO task for opposing
the reelection OF MATTHEW J. CUM
MIYGs, declaring it TO be a ''disgracc''
for the Republican party to make a Domi-
nation in opposition to him, and declar-
ing, also, that he, the writer, would feel
disgraccd to support a party that made
such an issue. This fellow-citizen ha
been misled. Others, like him, have been
misled. MATTHEW j. CUMMINGS is I'M
worthy OF trust and confidence. His re-
election would be a disgrace, and every
citizen who would vote for him with
knowledge Of the facts presented in moth
or column would be disgraced by that act.
He has not ''served the interests OF the
city," He has misspplied the funds OF
the city. Tn one month, not less than
one-sixth OF the poor funds went TO the
support OF himself and This staf. An
amazing proportion OF the funds that
are appropriated Tor the support OF the
poor, he has used for his own support.

THE IDEA.

BRowN, JONES. SMITH and ROBINSON
cecide to 60 into business.
They put up a million dollars as capital
and invest It In merchandise
In the courSe OF business they incur OBJ
legations amounting, say, TO s2oo,00-
bills payable. Lee US suppose that the
business has been run SO extraya-
gantly, or thai the stock has shrunk In
value so much, that the merchandise con-
times to represent only one million
dollars.
Problem: What is the financial con-
dition Of the corporation OF BROWN,
JONES, SMITH aud ROBINSON?
Well, The Journal and the "reformsrs"
would tell you that the corporation OF
Brown, JONES, SMITH and ROBINSON is
on the verge OF bankruptcy. They would
startle you with the statement that 1t is
stepped in an indebtedness Of 81, zoo, 900.
OF course such a Statement would be
foolish, but they would expect you to be-
lieve II.
Now the condition OF the city OF Provi-
dence is a great deal better than that SUP.
possible condition OF the BROWN, JONES,
SMITH and ROBINSON corporation, which
owes goo, 600 more than its assets rep
resent. Ths city Of Providence owes to-
day sl5, 757, 1884. o; this %, i6l, Ss4 10 a
floating debt. The sinking funds, how
ever, reduce the total inde btednesss by 81
S32, Ss1 SO that the net debt, bonded and
floating, is si2, 1924, 500.
That represents the Liabilities. But
heavy as they are they are more than COW
cred by the assets OF which S6, 9s5, SOL, are
in water works that paid into the city
the past year n profit of s5s, 267. IS after
deducting all interest charges ana cost
of maintenance. We guess even The
Journal would like to be ain debit for
these water works IL it could have the
chances Of running them ana could do
it as efficiently and economically rs. the
city does it and pocket the profits.
The balance OF the ''debt,' - q mere mat
ter OF 70, 1888, ST., ia rcpresented in property
owned by the city moi the property OF the
taxpaying citizens, but OF the municipal
corporation. 1t Is a fact that the running
expenses Of government have been eco
nomicslly administered. Ii il a fact that
every cent OF municipal Indebtedness
has gone into municipal improve
acknowledgement OF its plant and
property. 1t Is undoubtedly a fact thst
IL, let us suppose, a syndicate of capital
lists might be organized to purchase the
business OF the corporation Of the city
for the purpose Of running 1t as an in
vestment they would cheerfuly pay for
the plant and property OF the city, every
sides. 1t would certainly be a bargain
ut the paltrv valuation represented by
the so-cslIed indebtedness.

A T.
rotund shade!

On the pubic record Of he OVER eer OF
the Poor the "reform movement hiss
hung its appeal for non-partisanship
with ,everish iteration. The ineffabie Jour
nal remarked recently that "not even the
strongest believers in tbs necessity OF par
tisanship in municipal business can have
the hardihooa to say that the election
Of the Overseer OF the Poor in the last
few years by ~non-partisan votes has
proved an unsafe or In any way a dissd-
vantageou, experiment. On the con
trsry. they cannot avoid seeing, and II they
are honest, they canno, refuse to ADMIT,
that that method OF election has resulted
in d management OF the department pre-
sided over by T. Is officer in a way which,
in sharp contrast with the results Of the
work OF other officers chosen by the rigid
drawing OF party lines, is entirely and
conspicuously s~s,isisc ;ory."
The contrast is indeed SHARP but has
the management been entirely s~atlsfac-
tory?
We should say not.
And VIC commend TO the consideration
OF all citizens the example OF Mr.. Cum
MINGs, the flower OF. non-partisanship,
the coddled pet, in whose name we have
been exhorted to embrace the Democratic
idea OF reform.
The Journal, deservedly, has not for
nearly ten years received a justification at
the hands of a discriminating public for
any political course it has undertaken
Which is why we expect to see its So
called "reform" movement overwhelmed
with the. ballots of honest citizens on
Tuesday next.
