Editorial Views of Our contemporaries on
Matters of Interest.
Gazette and Chronicle: 1t will strike
citizens as very peculiar to say the least
that Special Officer John w. Mooney, who
has done faithful and efficient duty for
the past six or seven years, has passed by,
ignored entirely, in the selection OF per-
manent man. 1t Is understood Of course,
as matters have gone on under the present
administration, that men of Mr.. Mooney's 3
experience and fidelity are not wanted on
the police force by the men, who, un-
fortunately for the city, now manage or
make believe manage its affairs. Mr..
Mooney has made a mistake In trying to
do his duty conscientiously. The men
that engineer police appointments do not
want that sort of recommendation. When
Mr.. Mooney has broken into a number Of
stores and stolen articles therefrom, when
he confesses the fact then retracts it, when
he has assaulted at least three individuals,
been arrested and fined therefor, when he
has proven himself totally unfit for the
position of permanent patrolman, then
and only then may he be assured of sue
cess in his reasonable aspirations.

Woonsocket Call: The defence of the
State Census Bureau made in Superintend-
ent of the Census Tepke's paper, the Paw
tucket Post, is long and elaborate. But it
is too thin. We endorse the suggestion of
the Providence Telegram that the census
shop be closed before the jimmy can be
again used on the much minus state
treasury.

RIDING TO A FALL.

The disgusting attempts OF Gen. Weyler
and the Havana press to insist that the
war is over in the island and that the
white-winged dove Of piece fits cooingly
from one end to the other is given the lie
by every dispatch sent to this country
from the unsubsidized and unterrifed
American correspondents. A couple of
weeks ago this fellow4Weyler sent out the
island was pacified and that so far as war
was concerned there was no further need
of a single armed Spanish soldier in the
territory. Since that time the Cubans
have won one of the most important battles
of the whole campaign and have further
triumphed in several skirmishes. For a
state of pacifcation this is very peculiar
record
The home government, few days ago,
cheated itself into the Idea that it could
foist hypocritical set OF ''reforms" upon
the islandand that the country would stand
tamely by while they were administered.
1t sees differently now. Instead of accept
ing the farce, the Cubans have strewed the
woods to Baynamo with Spanish corpses,
and have caused the Spanish army no end
OF trouble and anxiety. This war will
never end until Spain has been driven out
of the island, and that day is assuredly not
SO very far off.

The Consolidated road has warned all
bicycle riders from using its tracks as a
highway and has thus struck the keynote
of a much decided reform. The railroad
track was built for the use OF trains and
not for everybody to who sees fit to ride
upon it. The rule should apply to pedes-
trians as well as to cyclists. Some day
bicyclists will be ground into powder, IL
railroads are kept strictly guarded and
any individual who shows himself thereon
is promptly arrested. IL the laws were
more rigidly enforced in this country
there would be fewer accidents and fewer
damage suits.

THE CASE OF WATSON.

Is there more than a grain of truth in
the statement that the temperance people
'are responsible for the hostility evoked
against Frank Watson, the Narragansett
Pier druggist who Is charged with setting
fire TO the Continental Hotel at that fash
ionable watering placer The court has
decided that enough good evidence has
been submitted to warrant holding the
case for the grand jury, but there are a
good many people who believe that there
Is a conspiracy against this man and that
certain agitators are at the bottom OF il.
The State made out fairly strong case
against Watson in the preliminary hear
ing, but II remains to be seen whether IL
will stand before the grand jury, or not,
and, II 1t warrants that body in bringing
an indictment, whether petit jury will
convict and judge sentence him. Wat
son may be guilty as charged, but again he
may not, and he should certainly not be
made the victim OF conspiracy, IL con-
spiracy there Is. We hope that this affair
will be sifted to the bottom, not that we
have any interest in Watson personally
for we know him not, but because some
very ugly charges have been made against
a certain element at the pier and there
abouts, and we do not like to see wrong
OF this kind, IL wrong it is, go unrighted.
There is something more than the mere
value OF building involved in the affair.
A conspiracy is the worst form OF public
danger.

OURABOUT

"Charity begins at home" is an old and
undisputable assertion. Protection comes
under the same category, but receives a
black eye several times each day when the
trains over the steam and electric roads
reach this city. The output of each train
from noon until late in the afternoon dis
closes somewhat lengthy procession of
Pawtucket wives and daughters, each in
variably armed with huge bundles bear
ing the trademarks of Providence firms.
An infusion of local pride is sadly needed
in the veins OF some Pawtucket people.
1t is said that the trouble with prohibi-
tion is that IL is ahead of public senti-
ment. That's what's the matter with the

Day the time will arrive when bare and
glaring streets will not be regarded as

change in sentiment is worth cultivating.
A few years ago, in moment of metro
politan madness, we set to work in this
city to cut down shade trees. We said
that they were wet, and unhealthy, and
dangerous along our principal streets be-
cause people might drive into them and
get smashed. The trees fell, and beauti-
full poles arose in their stead to support
wires. man may drive into these poles
and get smashed up, but that doesn't
count. Now there are good many be-
nighted citizens who wish that every tree
that was cut down was back again and
more up with them.

CURIOUS zNAcrIoN
Ofthe McckIenburs Authorities In tho
Wilson Case.

Considerable indignation is felt In
certain circles over the inaction of the
atecklenburg authorities, which necessi-
tated the release by Justice A. H.
Hawks, Of Huntersville, of Joe and
Mary Wilson, the negroes arrested
some three months ago by Constable
Mckown as the principal actors in the
brutal murder of DR.. Riggon in that
county some years ago.
There appears to be full and conclu-
slve evidence in the hands OF Constable
MclSown and the Commonwealth's At
torney to convict the two, but for some
inexplicable reason the latter has seen
lit to ignore the arrest of the alleged
murderers, even going SO far as to write
Mckown that he knew his own busi-
ness when the constable wrote and sug-
gested that he send for the prisoners.
Constable McKown went to Mecklen-
burg county soon after the Wilson's
were arrested and saw Oommonwealth's
Attorney Goode and Judge Holmes, and
was told by the former to hold his pris-
oners until he should send for them, as
he was afraid they would be lynched If
brought there. So safe was he in this
estimate of popular feeling that Con-
stable McKown was offered S150 10 let
