That Third Ward Canvass Board.

THE PROVIDENCE NEWS makes seri-
Gus charge against Mayor McGuinness
when il accuses him OF having, while
chairman OF the toard of Canvassers of
the third Ward, kept the name OF Henry
Farr ON the list in that ward for four and
n half years az er his de,th, when the
board had his wife's affidavit to the
effect that he was dead end the certiil-
ate Of his death, and that Federal Su-
rervisor Blodgett, having threatened them
with an application OF United States law,
they removed this name for three weeks.
Thinking that they had done enough
pcnance, they put the name on again in
time for the corpse TO vO e at the city
election three weeks later, in December,
1897.
This Is a moss serious charge, and we
should like To 'eo the Mayo refste il. for,
falling TO do SO, he must be accounted
on tho same level as the ordinary repeat

gone, what prop will remain OF the "re-

THE Italian vote in Cranston appears
to be decidedly worthy of cultivation.

OUR esteemed contemporary, The Point
er, notes the holding of the recent Pro-
bibition party convention as follows:
"There was quite a gathering in Music
Hall last Monday OF the men who are
supposed to be trying to down the saloon,
but who seemed to the outsiderto be try
ing to down each other. 1t was readily
apparent that the machine had been
laying its wires to crowd the distasteful
dominant issue down the throats Of
those alI-around reformers who vote and
work Tor the Prohibition party"

the season OF so-called "national" polo is
drawing TO close.
To intelligent and self-respecting seek
ers for amusement the sport of rink polo,
as it is played, has become very tiresome,
not to say disgusting.
AS conducted under the auspices cf the
so-called "nationaln lea ue, the very
name OF which is a piece OF CHEAP fraud,
the game hes degenerated from an i'm
spiriting spectacle an exhibition OF fine
skating and exciting and clever ball chas-
ing, to nm oftimes disgraceful, and al
ways unintorcstiug, display OF rough and
tumble fighting and horse play that ap-
peals chiefly 20 those lovers of sport that
would be found at prize fight In a back

league comprises Eve clubs, five cities;
Pawtucket. New Bedford, Fall River,
