TRAIN SHEDS AND CUFF.

We quote with becoming reverence tho
following stimulating observation by our
esteemed and ever humorous oontempo-
rary, the Providence journal:
Every vote given is the Common
Council tonight in favor of tho scheme Of
tho Consolidated road will be tnst OF a
hireling Of that corporation and IL VIII be
recognized a. such by every oitizen OF
sufficient intelligence Co 60 under train
shed when it rains. :"
Now we submit taking the Journal
seriously for the moment, that to the CIT
izen OF the abnve-measured intelligence,
utilizing familiar process of arriving at
an Inference IL can but be equally clear
that every vote given tonight in favor of
the scheme of the Providence Journal
Company viii be that Of hireling OF
that Incorporation and will be reoogni sed,
etc. etc.
If not, why not pray9
We don't know what the Consolidated
has to offer its hirelings but the journal
corporation proni sos liberal rewards. 1t
will print the names of its hirolings in
large type and will see that their politi-
cal future is nicely nursed. That is. IL
will until 1t finds it convenient to spit
upon them and throw them over. The
hireling business, after ALL Isn't any
great shakes TO rely upon.
But none of this CUFF of the Journal is
argument. 1t is out of the same parcel
Of bluff, bully.rGgging and browbeatins
tnht has marked the Journals course in
the whole train shed matter. Another
part of 1t is the frequently repeated state
ment that in acting at this time the pres.
ident of tho Consolidated bns taken nd-
vantage Of the stricken Mayor" when
because the Consolidated didn't make
haste and never thought of invoking the
Mayors condition until the railroad at
tended to its own and the publio's bust
ness In way she Journal didn't like,
though with all the promptitude de-
manded. Yet another ridiculous
plea has been to the effect that the
dignity of the council has been in
suited, but it is clear enough that
neither city council nor committee
Of the CITY council oaght TO be sensitive
about its dignity after ii has made a pub
lie spectacle of itself by cringing before
the greatest would bo autocrat in these
the attitude of the council last week was
due to human tendency TO slop over
that tody has glorious chance TO redet IN
itself by deciding the train shed matter
on its merits and not on any salf-consti-
tuted authoritys say-so
And therein is the whole material mat.
ter. The train shed controversy is or
ought to be- decided solely on its merits.
The public want suitable accommodations
and il wants them quick. No question
of hirelinss or any assumed constituencies
on the part Of tho council has anything
60 do with the case. Tho public interest
IL ut stake and il is the public interest
alone that the counoilInen have to deal
with. The public will not tolerate any
policy based on any other factors. There
are no other factors except what the
Journal manufactures out of its head n
its feverish ambition to have it's own way
regardless of the public interest and in
tolerant of discussion OF the question in a
fair, honorable and business-llke way.
