At the meeting of the Pend d'Oreille

INST, large amount of business was
transacted. The resolutions adopted
at the meeting of the Miners Ex-
change held on the 18th OF August,
was endorsed by large vote and with
request for their republication in

wagon road to West Branch was
discussed and petition will be at
once prepared and unanimously

through which the road will pass have
agreed to donate the necessary land.
The matter of side track on the

they will haul the ties at once, in or

THAT TRANSFER BILL.

Within recent years we have been de-
veloping our splendid system Of rapid
transit for the city OF Providence.
To this end legislation has been neces-
ssry and the desired authority has been
secured by arrangements involving mu.
tual responsibilities, concessions ana ad-
vantages to the municipal corporation
and the corporation that invested is cap
ital in ths enterprise. The Assembly has
readily granted such legislation as the
public, represented as well by the trolley
corporation ss by the government OF the
municipal corporation, has come 20 an
agreement on. The result has been the
rapid instsllstion OF the finest car service
in the United States, a service that has
been and is being improved from day to
day, more often than not in anticipation
OF public demands.
Now City Council that represents,
not the people OF Providence, but poll

Yesterday the National Association OF
Democratic Clubs observed ths 1881 an
niyersary OF the birth of THOMAS JET
PERSON.
For such observance as had been
planned distinguished Democrats and
other Dem acrats assembled at tha tomb
OF JEFFERSON.
Yesterday was not tho snniversary OF
the birth OF JEFFERsoN. The great
American was born Oh April 2 Neither
was it the anniversary OF the Cay OF his
death. lie died on July 4. But for what
ever tribute the Democratic party chooses
to pay, and on Whatever cay, the whole
country may join and especially those Of
us who call ourselves Republicans, FOR
although the author OF the Declaration OF
Independence founded the Democratic
party--or, as 1t was estshlished, the DEM
ocratic- Republican pnrty-the principles
that he stood for, especially the great
principle Of protection to American in
dustries, are those of the Republican
party today. THOMAS JEFFERSON would
no more recognize the Democracy of 1896
as his Democracy than would hen
whose confidence had been misplaced on
a ducks egg recog aize the product there
OF as hers.
Wherein the orators of yesterdays oc-
casion "rose above partizanship' in the
language OF Ex-Governor RUSSELL OF
Massach hustts, who is al old and prac-
ticed hand at rising above partizanship,
they worthily respected the memory Of
JEFFERSON and echoed the solemn senti.
ments of a nation Of Americans. Who're
In, however, they attempted to "apply
the principles" Of JEFFERsoN to the Dem
ocratic party and undertook to bring to
the presidential campaign OF 1896 the in
spiration OF his words and deeds, they
got of their trolley. hopelessly. 'we
Democrats" spake the eloquent BILLY
RUSSELL, snow going forth to battle,
reverently pause at the tomb OF JEPFER-
SON to catch the inspiration of bis voice, 7"
but, while We may not irreverently pre-
sumo 10 speak for JEFFERSON from his
tomb, there is historic ground for the
belief that IL "his voice" could really
have made itself heard the Democracy
assem- bled would more likely have caught
something in the way of sepuichral ad-
vice to go-soak-their-head rather than
any sentiments OF approval, encourage
ment and inspiration.
For there was no tiapdoodle about
THOMAS JEFFERSON as any school boy or
historical student can testify. About
everything that JEFFERsoN stood for and
did, the Democracy Of this day has oe-
faulted.

IT looks as IL our neighboring town of
East Providencs was to enjoy the advant-
ages Of good wholesome own-your-own-
home real estate boom OF the kind that
has done SO much for the prosperity OF our
neighboring town OF Cranston in recent
years, and of which the latter town has
enjoyed something OF a monopoly. We
take ii the real estate promoters made no
raistake in opening up plats in East
Providence. 1t Is fine town with q
splendid future, as well as a substantial
present.

IT is, Of course, difficult for different
minds to come to an agreement as to
what particular man would think of an
issue that is bora some years after the
man is dead. For instance, Ex-Governor
RUSSELL OF Massachusetts Is confident
that II President JEFFERSON were alive
today he would be opposed to the free
coinage OF silver. and Senator DANIEL OF
Virginia is sure that JEFFERSON would
be IS to I advocate from the sole OF his
feet to the crown oil his head. Which
seems TO indicate that going to tomb
for inspiration is not unlike going to a
soda fountain for soda, in that you msy
draw variety Of things from 1t accord
ing to taste.

character and can furnish references
