SYLVESTER Il. MERRILL.

Senator SYLVESTER X. MERRILL of
Cranston has been accused of "bolting"
from his PARTY. He has been sarcastically
referred to as the "silent statesmen"
one who was never known to have said
much OF anything, good or bad, while oc-
cupying the Senatorial chair. A good
deal OF twadde Is being printed with
view to discrediting Senator MERRILL's
chances for reelection. Indeed, Senator
MERRILL has got fame that he little
anticipated. After all is said, though, no
one who knows Senator MERRILL either
politically or socially, will for minute
question his integrity or ability. He has
way that few of bis predecessors have
done, and he has been an honest and
efficient servant Of the State. From
what we can learn great many of his
fellow citizens will cast their votes for
him on April next, and Republicans
throughout the State have, so far, not
been convinced that the Republican party
leaders in Cranston had any other than
the excuse of some quarrel in town pol
itics for turning him down. A Repub-
lican General Assembly will regret it IL
the State must lose his services and the
town OF Cranston will gain nothing in
distinction il his fellow-citizens fail to
return him..

A TRANSFER SYSTEM.

The Union Railroad Company has pre-
sent clear and business like exposition
OF the much discussed transfer ticket
question which ought to convince the i'm
telligent reader that the introduction OF a
transfer system is big question, quite
too big to be made the football Of poll
tics or to be solved by half shot oratory.
The trolley corporation IN its relations
with the municipal corporation has ever
acted in good faith and on its part any
and all questions that have come no have
been discussed in fair and business-iike
way. The attempt to drag the corporc.
tion into politics by reason OF the attacks
and denunciations OF socialistic and pop
ulistic agitators and the interested indi.
u who have seen in such agitation
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-03-17

an opportunity for their own political ad-
vancement has failed so far as the trolley
company is concerned, although the MAX
ing of an anti-corporation issue together
with the "issue" OF neighborhood bar
room quarrel in Ward resulted in lively
shaking up OF things political last fall.
Against the ranting and demagoguery
of the small politicians who won a tenn
porary success by their anti-corporation
and barroom campaign last fall, the troll
ley company today appeals to the people
in its business like document which
gives us more practical information about
this transfer ticket business than all the
stump speech-making OF all the self-seek-
ing politicians from McGUINNEss to the
ineffa ble BURBANK with which the public
has been satiated. In this matter, as in
many others of the so-cslled tissues" of
the municipal campaign, the public Is
beginning to find out that they were told
good many things that were not so by
the hysterical Goo Goo reformers of last
November.
Meanwhile, we are enjoying the advan-
tages of the best trolley car service in
the United States. II the public demands
anything 1t is not universal transfers"
but more cars. The public Is willing to
pay car fare il it can only have the cars
TO ride in.

Cuban, silver and Immigration Questj"ns
Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, March IL. - The senate
had an hour Of spirited Cuban debate late
yesterday after the early part OF the day
had been given to set speeches by Mr.
Lodge on immigration and Mr.. Pugh on
silver.
The Cuban discussion was mainly I'M
portant In bringing out the full reading OF
statement OF the Spanish side OF the case
by Minister de LONE. This had been re.
ferred TO some days ago, but could not bo
made public. Yesterday, however, Mr.
Morgan read a letter from Secretary OIL
ney saying the Spanish minister gave his
permission for the public use OF the state
mont
1t claimed to detail the insurgents
methods OF gnerrlla warfare, the burning
Of caneflelds and the disorganized charac.
ter of the insurgcnt bands. Mr.. Morgan
commented severely on the ministers
statement. The senator had several sharp
controversies with Mr.. Hale over various
phases of the Cuban question.
During the day Mr.. Elkins offered a
resolution directing tho committee on for
eign affairs to report as to the status OF
the war in Cuba, before vote was taken
in the senate
1t was suspension day In the house, and
several bills were passed. The most i'm.
portant was the Oklahoma homestead
bill, which relieves homesteaders in Okla
homa of the payment of the purchase
price of their homesteads. According to
the report of Secretary Smith, this bin
will relieve tho settlers of the payment OF
about SO, 100000.
The concessions Of these lands from the
Indians cost the government 5000, co.,
AS tho supreme court yesterday decided
that the territory known as Greer county,
Texas, was public domain, and therefore
part OF Oklahoma terr tory, an amend
ment was added to Il bill suspending
the public land laws over this territory,
pending legislative action.

'RAH FOR RULE ~.

Shortly after the present Common
Council was sworn into Office 1t added
Rule..XVII TO the list of sixteen rules that
had governed the proceedings of previous
Councils. The purpose of the rule was to
prevent the introduction OF measures
without previous warning, the argument
in its support being that measures were
often "sprung" on the Council when it
was not prepared to consider them. The
argument.was good one, and Rule XVII
is a good rule. Here 1t is:
"Ali committees and heads Of departments
having reports to make or business to present
to the Common CounciI shall give notice 10
the clerk OF their intention to present such
reports or business st least three days before
the meeting Of the Common Council, in order
that tho same may be printed upon the
docket: and no such report or business shall
be considered unless notice of the same shall
have been given as herein provided
Rule XVII was invoked last evening
against the snap presentation OF the
long-awaited report OF the committee on
city engineers department. which com.
mittee undertook to bring before the
Council against the letter and the spirit
of Rule XVII SO important matter as
filtration.
Fortunately for the consistency and
sincerity Of its purpose the Council stood
firmly in support Of Rule XVII, but the
members were undoubtedly annoyed at
the attempts OF so high ranking a COM
mittee as that on the city engineers de-
partment, which Is headed by the Mayor
himself, to spring this important matter
upon their unsuspecting fellows. The at
tempt deserved the rebuke IL received,
and 1t may open the eyes of the Council
men to the apparent fact that the same
snap methods which were resorted to two
years ago to push through the city gov
ernment the city engineers scheme OF
natural filtration have not heen aband-
oned in the effort 10 work the present
Council.

Allow me TO say that Park Street, Free Bap-
tist Church sent in a good list OF names, in

for no-license for nearly 33 years. Permit
also this further explanation; Our Free Bap-

ERNEST GEORGE WESLEY.
Providence, r. l., March Id. 1885.
At this moment we are not prepared to
state whether or not Mr.. WEsLEY's name
appears on the LIST Of petitioners. Our
reporters looked over the list of some 1000
names with view to culling therefrom
those of such of our fellow citizens as
might be representatives of different pro-
fessions and business thus showing the
character of the citizenship that was back
of the appeal to bring the license ques-
tion before the people. We hardly think
they would have missed a name SO famil-
lar to us all as that of Mr.. WESLEY and
yet they might have overlooked it. At
any rate we are sure, and we think the
public is sure, that Mr.. WESLEY has ex-
erted every effort to contribute to the
strength Of this petition and that on elec-
tion day his vote will be cast for "no-
license"
His record is a sufficient guarantee of
this, even had he not written US this
communication. And we think the sup
porters Of this no license movement may
surely count on the votes of citizens Of
the Free Baptist demo mination on their
side, as Mr.. WESLEY so unqualifedly as
sures us.
We have pleasure in printing this
letter in the interests OF Mr.. WESLEY and
his church people, for the further as
surance of the no-license advocates,
among whom Mr.. WESLEY has long been
a leader, and for the information Of the
public in general.

Refinement and kind -hearted>
ness are as necessary in a nurse
as are quick intelligence and

Nursing is re-eminently a
calling for gentlewomen, and we
have often wondered why the
daughters of well-to.do families
-supposing them to have health
and some inclinations toward the
duties Of the sick room-do not
oftener go from home to learn
how to nurse, just as they go
away to learn music, or French.
They need not, necessarily, fol.
low 1T afterward as d profession,
but the knowledge gained can be
very useful to them in emergen-
cies at home and in their visits to
the poor.
Trained nurses in this latter
day are SO much approved and so
well paid that their ranks ap~
pear to be overcrowded. But on
the ladder of this, no less than of
other callings, there is still a
plenty of room at the top"
