into the authorization that the Council
committee had FOR coming before them
TO get the endorsement of the city soli-
citor, perhaps, that what was wanted
violated no law or ordinance, and
to decide for itself that it's
provisions did not violate the constitu-
tion Of the State nor conflict with any
precedents or statutory law that the
State would wish to preserve. Being
satisfied as to these things the business
OF the Assembly was to grant
the request of the city Of Providence
thus fully and autlfcritarively repre-
sented by a committee from city gov
ernment elected by the people, whose
votes direct the affairs of the municipal
corporation. To do it promptly and
without any further questioning was the
Assembly's business. The Assembly
could assume no responsibility in the
matter even if. by any action looking to
change or obstruction outside the lines
of its proper inquiry, it undertook to-
The city government only could be re-
sponsible. A certain measure was asked
for, affecting the conduct of the af-
fairs of the municipal corporation.
Tne directors of the municipal
corporation asked for it. The
Assembly's business was to grant it, so
long as it was not vicious of itself.
What the city did with it the people of
the city could take care of. The corpor-
alton of the city of Provi-
dence is in good standing. Its
basiness methods are beyond reproach.
Its credit is first-class. 1t is big
enough to take care of itself, meet all its
obligations, and attend to its own respon-
sibiities. Imagine the municipal COR
poration going to the Assem- bly, for per-
mission to do its own busine IS and hav-
ing the Assembly jump on
its representatives The idea
is preposterous. 1t violates the
principle OF home rule, about which too
many safeguards cannot be maintained;
and what's more it violates the dictates
OF plain every day horse sense.
This appears to us 80 plain, a mere
primary lesson in politics, that we are
sure some of our recently indignant
friends will be able to see themselves
some of the light.

A Travelling Fruit Show.
New York Sun.

1t is fresh idea of the Californians to get
up travelling circus with a brass band for
the display Of the products of that State in
foreign countries. The show Is to be big one,
especially that Of the fruiteries, wineries,
canneries, and factories Of the State. Over
300 California firms, representing hundreds Of
millions of invested capital. are interested in
it, The starting point, few weeks hence, Is
to be Berlin, after which will come Paris,
London, and other cities. 1t could not be re-
garded as a California affair If there were not
humorous features associated wirh 1t, and
we suppose that the most attractive one Of
these to the Berliners will be the propaganda

Quaker garb. The German will surely laugh
at this California notion the French will give
a double shrug when they see it. and the En-
glish will probably doubt its respectability.

idea OF the San Francisco syndicates.

ASSEMBLY AND CITY.

Am ong the many slant-sided ideas that
have cropped out of the recent extraordi-
nary, not to say overweighted, outburst
against the Union Railroad Company
and everything that has. or ever had, or
is fearfully expected to have, anything
| whatever to do with that semi-public
institution, nothing has represented
more short-sightedness, or displayed
more ignorance or contempt of facts and
established practices, the value of the
preservation of which isgenerally recog-
nized, than the hysterical hullabaloo
about the ears Of the General Assembly
because that body was ''railroaded
through" by the so-called extension of
franchise bill; because no one in the
Assembly, mot even the members from
Providence, elected to protect the inter-
ests of her citizens" rose in his seat and
tried to stamp the measure out Of exist
ence; and because the Assembly gave
no public hearings on the matter.
While we think that, on general prin-
ciples. our government is just as secure
and our rights and privileges are quite as
well conserved under existing conditions
as would be the case if things were run
after constitution and bylaws and rules
Of procedure prescribed by our indignant
friends, we are further confident that if
the latter properly appreciated the rela-
tionship that exists, and should exist,
between town and State government,
they would call off the dogs from the
General Assembly, whomever else they
let them loose on.
This franchise business has presented
no new features, no unique points, moth
ing that has not characterized hundreds
of transactions between town and State.
II was a matter Of municipal business
that was TO he done with the State gov
ernment, and it was done after long
standing and business-like methods that
have rarely been complained of or criti-
cised, and never. in our memory, have
been the subject Of anything like the
attacks Of our indignant friends, as
ridiculous as they were vicious.
Aud now that they have calmed down
a bit. and may be hoped to be in a mon
tai condition to listen to reason, provid-
ing it isn't given them in emetic
doses, we feel that they
may recognize that the Assembly,
at least, is no party to any so-cal!ed "out-
RACES" The plain fact is: A committee
Of the City Council, appointed and duly
authorized by that body, went 70 the
General Assembly for permission TO do
business that the city charter or any later
acts did not provide for. II was
the province Of the Assembly to examine |

KINGSTON SCHOOL TOMORROW.

We have taken no means TO find out
what may be the possible outcome of
the discussion by the House Of Repre-
sentatives tomorrow on the Senate reso-
luton appropriating $4,000 for rebuild
ing at Kingston School. We hope. in
the interests OF the school and in
the interests Of the public, the House
may decline to endorse the action
OF the Senate, and, instead, take steps 70
look into the condition of the institution
on Kingston Hill and find out what the
matter is down there before spending
any more money on il.
For tho life of us we don't see why
the House should hesitate to do this any
more than we can understand why the
management at Kingston should object
to having it done. Here is State
school that has been running four or
five years. IL is n creation of the Gen
eral Assembly and is maintained
under its supervision. Yet, except
on occasions Of pre-arranged exhibi-
hons, we are safe in stating, as n
whole, or in any official representative

ever small, taken at the present session

TERSELY TOLD.
What Became of "Polly" Seward.

New York Press.
/ passed two Stewards yesterday-william
H.. bronze statue, in Madison square, and
William H., flesh and blood, at the Windsor
Hotcf.- The living William H. Seward is a
banker in Auburn. Ho is unlike his dis.
tinguished father in every respect. He is also
unlike his brother, Clarence, who, i believe.
Is president Of the Union Club. There was
always n good deal of mystery about the Sew
ards. We all know that the Seward Of war
times was, in his youth, a school teacher in
Georgia. He had a sister called "Polly, F"
who, IL she lived today, would be in the front
rank of women reformers and crusaders. She
was woman Of strong mind and high pur-
pose. Because she refused to return to the
North with her brother there was a family
misunderstanding, which resulted in per.
manent severance of family ties. ] have been
told that there has never been q meeting Of
any kind between her direct descendants and
those Of her brother. / do not believe that
William II. Seward of Auburn and Clarence
Seward of this city have the remotest idea
who are their next of kin in the South, and I
know that "Polly's" grandchildren and great
grandchildren know not Of the existence Of
any relationship with the Stewards. "Polly"
Seward became the wife OF Alfred Holt, q
distinguished Georgian, and he was Just as
much ashamed Of William H. Seward as will.
lam II. Seward was Of him. It was a mutual
dislike all round, and the posterity will
probably keep as far apart as possible But
it Is strange how families loss sight of each
other.

note of the progress Of the school, and
knows little about it today except what
is smoothly told in the annual report.
IL Is perhaps not unnatural that
the management Of the institution
thus located so far from lines of travel
that il is serious undertaking for an
Assemblyman, or anybody else, TO visit
the school except on occasions for which
elaborate arrangements are made,
should come to believe that the school
belongs TO them.
Now something is the matter with
the State School at Kingston. 1t has
been running down the past year or two
and it had never run up very far. In Its
brief career it has, apparently, reached
its highest point of possible success, and
now is going backward, its opportuni-
ties and wealth slipping away from 1t
before it is half established, a pathetic
commentary on what we feel was origi-
nally a triumph of short sightedness,
but which now threatens to be a monu-
ment to managerial pig-headedness.
Nobody who has looked into the King
ston school-excepting, always, the
management and few otherwise inter-
ested persons-denies that something is
the matter with the school, that it Is
amounting to so little when so much
was expected of it. II is not matter
for sensational accusations, or for
attacking credit or ability. But it does
seem to be fair subject for the
Assembly to look into-not as an inves-
tigation, but as an examination such as
the Assembly might reasonably be ex-
pected to make, if it choose to, even if
the school had won nothing but glitter
ing distinction for itself. considering that
it has been running four or five years
and has not been bothered by any AS
sembly.
And in view of what the readers of
THE NEWS have had served up to them in
good faith about the school, it strikes
us the management would demand
Of the Assembly an examination of their
institution for its own interests. We
regard the action of the House
tomorrow as of almost vital importance
to the future of Kingston School 1t will
be more serious matter for the school
and its management, than for anybody
else, if the General Assembly says to
them, virtually: "Here is the money you
want. We don't know anything about
your institution and, what's more, we
don't care. 1t really isn't of enough
consequence to bother about, espe-
cially as we can't find that the
people know anything about the
school or care anything about 1T.
Don't ask us for too much money
too often, though, and try not
to burn down any more buildings than
is absolutely necessary"
We repeat, it will be a serious thing
for the school when the General
Assembly authoritatively announces
that it has no earthly interest in the in
stitution. 1t has suffered enough,
already, we should say, because it
has been of use or interest TO
so few, but we hope the op-
portunity has come to establish it
rs it was designed to be--a live factor in
our educational system, an institution
Of splendid possibilities of value to our
people.

WE are informed that somebody has
real estate near the Kingston depot that
the State would have to buy if the school
was established down there. We don't
know anything about that, and the
General Assembly does not know. Let
the Assembly examine into the whole
matter before spending any more money
on Kingston Hill, and we Wilt all know
more, and know it right.
