The nation is moaning in every section
and in every paper, about business de-
preston, impoverishment and distress, and
crying that the people are poor and get
ting poorer. What a shame, humbug,
farce, hypocrisy, the cry is! How can a
nation be poor that can afford to support
100000 useless and dangerous grog shops at
cost of over $1,000 100000 a year? Poor?
And afford to support 5000 prisons, and
armies of jail-birds, and thousands of
courts and judges and lawyers and jailors,
mostly the results of supporting the grog
shops, and at the cost of 81 600, 100000 per
annum! Poor, is it? And afford beside to
support degrading and blood-cor-
rupting brothels, with their count
less unwomanly prostitutes, in ev-
cry county, and many in cv-
cry town and city, at a cost of countless
millions of dolarsl Poor, impoverished!
humbug! and can afford, besides to sup
port numberless gambling bells, in dens
hotels and Wall streets, at cost of fur
Their countless millions! Oh, how poor!
Yet can afford to support. in legislatures
and congress, many thousands of selfish
goddess, wasteful, reckless, Idle faithIess,
politicians, at a cost of other uncOunted
millions! Very much depressed! Yet can
afford, moreover to support vast num-

at a further cost of countless millions!
Business depression. yet able to support
a multitude of charities, at a cost of many
millions, for the care of hundreds Of
thousands pauperized mostly by the sup

What hypocrisy, to groan about national
business depression. nation able to
waste enough to keep 100000 in luxury
is royalty opulent. enormously rich.
The nation is looking to the President
and calling on congress to do something,
to restore business prosperity. They have
not done it; they cannot do it, II is sim
ply a case of demand and supply; aud
they cannot create a business, or invest
funds, that will increase the demand. The
people themselves can increase the de-
mand, can boom a demand. by stopping
the wastes, and buying what they need
clothing, groceries, Shoes lands houses
horses, wagons. furniture, books, papers,
toys, labor comforts etc. The nation is
said to be in general need of these things.
and there is an over supply of them. and
the nation wastes money enough to buy
out all the stores and increase the de-
maud. "Woful waste makes woful want"
That's the matter with US. What fools
these people be-" VIII the people stop the
waste, and buy what the home needs, and

A Bond issue to B. Voted on at the Town
M.eting-GlaSs In Roadway.

There were special services in st. AIMS
Catholic Church, yesterday afternoon,
after which the Holy Name Society held
"A meeting.
Tonight will be held the regular
monthly meeting of the Arlington Fire
company in Arlington district hall
On Saturday an inspection Of few Of
the fire hydrants on Park avenue was
made.
In the financial town meeting April
10th, the property owners will bc requested
20 issue bonds to the amount of $3.50 600.
If this bond issue Is 20 be made, many cit
izens are anxious that a portion of the
issue be made i'm small denominations-
say s25 and SO. Most OF the bonds issued
by the town have been in denominations
of $1,000. This face value was so high that
the small investor could not benefit.
Many prominent men think that if about
$50, 900 worth of the bonds are issued in
denominations of S25, $50 and 800 that
many people will avail themselves of the
opportunity of investing in home security
and that the town will thus be much
benefited by benefiting the people.
Last evening about O'Clock, an intox-
icatcd man of about fifty years, enter
tanned good-siZed audience with sing
ing and dancing on the corner of Gran
ston street and Princess avenue. He sang
nearly all the popular songs of the day.

children who listened. When told that
the policemen We're coming he walked of.
He Is said TO reside in the old.village. He
calls himself the modern Mozart and
other inappropriate pct names
Many OF the wheelmen of Cranston are
incenscd at what appears Co bo coward
ly trick. From Narragansett avenue To
Princess avenue, there are, at intervals
on Cranston street patches of broken
glass. This glass, i'm every case, is ON the
hard smooth path used by cyclists Yes
terday there was much wheeling along
this street and us n consequence of the
trcncherous bottom, many punctures
Many of the wheelmen who traverse that
section of the street say that the glass
was not on the street, Saturday evening,
but that they noticed it Sunday morning.
One young man who is famed for mo-
testing other people has been under sus-
picion for some time as the perpetrator
of these Jokes for this is not the first
time that this product Of destruction has
been strewn I'm nearly the same place
There are many who will willingly lend

REEDS VERDICT
Continued from Page l.)

brakestaff had been broken before and
instead of new brakestaff being fur
nished, the broken parts of this staff
were welded together and the brakestaff
replaced on the car.
Mr.. Brennan further argued that there
was no evidence at all that the plaintiff
was guilty of any contributory negligence
and claimed that there is a fiat contradic-
tion between the testimony for both sides
ns TO the marking Of this ear as unfit for
use. Considerable attention was paid 10
this point in the arguments on both sides.
The injuries received by the plaintiff, 1t
was further argued blythe lattei's coun-
l. were of such nature that he is
unable 10 do any labor at all.
j. Nj. Ripley was associated with Mr.
Hayes for the defendant corporations and
Dennis j. Holland with Mr.. Brennan for
the plaintiff.
During the arguments IL was admitted
on both sides that the object of IA man in
going around under the cars and tapping
the wheels which has been SO often
watched by PERSONS who were traveliI
with great attention, is not an adequate
test Of the wheels The main object I'm
doiue the tapping is To inspire confidence
