The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-08-22

ately forthcoming Issue is to present Its
readers halt-tone picture OF the New
Transfer Station for the city of Provi-
oence. While we are aware that the Sun
day issue OF The Journal has wide circle
of readers already, as 1t deserves to nave,
for usually 1t is a good paper, far better
than most Of the bigger sheets that strike
this town, we take this opportunity to
call the attention of such OF our readers
as do not ordinarily buy it to the imme-
diately forthcoming issue because OF the
public importance OF the souvenir that
is to be given with 1t.
In word the half-tone picture of the
New Transfer Station should be in every
home. We make no doubt, OF course, OF
its excellence as work of art for The
Journal does things no in good style as a
general thing, and we think we may
guarantee that the picture will be suita-
BILE for framing and OF worth and
beauty that shall make 1t an adornment
10 any home, from the humble house of
the populist to the palatiaI mansion OF
the plutocrat. But after all that would
not prompt us to spread broadcast the
announcement of the gift were 1t not
that the half tone picture will have an
interest for the public far more impor-
tant than IL expressed by its aesthetic
value.
We feel that the hnlf-tone picture OF the
New Transfer Station is the only material
result, IL not the sufficient Justification
OF the political overturn of last Novcm-
her and the placing In ofIics of The
Journals original and only patont-
application Goo-Goo municipal gov
ernment. 1t may be recalled that,
prompted by The Journal and backed
by the Democratic party, moved
by illusions and stimulated by Mysteries,
the citizens OF Providence turned out an
administration of kind politically that
had served the city for half a century,
more or less, and tried a new kind. The
new kind was put in office because its
representatives made people believe hat
a great many things were the matter
with the town, and they promised to set
thingsright. One of the chief troubles,
as the citizens were told, was that
citizens eager to indulge in perpetual
travel by trolley from Randall square to
Fox Point were deprived OF such in
diligence by reason of being compelled
10 pay two fares-and correspon dinghy
two more fares were necessary TO get the
citizens back again from Fox Point to
Randall square. This dire condition Of

force, conductors and motorm, car

failed to accomplish what it was elected
to do was not altogether the fault OF the
Goo GOO government, since upon the
making OF sundry and several investi-
cations it was learned that the evils
portrayed did not exist outside the
fervid Imagination OF The journal and
the whirlinR, whizzing cerebella OF the
