A FOOLISH PREACHER.

A New York divine has taken up the
cudgel in defense of suicide, alleging as
his reasons thereof that as man has a
right to live he has also an equal right
to die at his own behest. He even goes
further, and contends that physicians
should be empowered by law to kill in
curable patients, provided the victim
and his relatives desire it, Such teach
ings as this are pernicious in the ex-
treme, and are probably not made by a
man who would take his own medicine
even in the most desperate emergency.
One can imagine extreme cases whore
death being inevitable, swift and full
of agon, one would be justified in seek
ing to escape it by an act OF his own
hand, bat such instances are exceed
ingly rare and do not establish the just.
ness of q general law. Only those who
have lost hope, being sane, ever at
tempt self-destruction. It would seem
that the reverend New Yorker could
better devote his time to finding meth
ods of restoring hope.to the Respondent,
than to exhorting them to plunge into
the abyss where hope can never again
reach nor rescue them.

THE NEW ARM DRY.

It seems, according to the decision OF

the General Assembly will have to act
on the proposed condemnation ofiDur-
fee street, part of which is wanted for
the big new srmory. About half ofithe
street is needed for the building and
the street itself is of 30 little import
ance that its discontinuance void be OF
small moment to anybody.
The State needs nothing in the mill
tary line more than the new armory,
where ample room is planned for the
manoeuvering of large bodies Of men.
The present facilities are cramped and
inadequate. The training field itself
offers the finest advantages for clear
weather instruction in field tactics, and
its proximity to the White mill, out OF
which the new armory is to rise, will
make it especially advantageous. We
hope the disputants to the street prob.
lem will settle their differences and let
the troops yet under substantial covor
as soon as possible.

A QUEER CASE.
Strange Story OF a Pension Claim Told In
Congress.


Strange Story OF Pension Claim Told In
Congress.
One OF the queer cases in pension an
nails was reported 20 the house a day or
two ago. It.was Pennsylvania case,
where q soldier enlisted as Harmon
Francis, name he assumed for the COR
rect one Of Hiram Francis. He fought
bravely through three years of the war
in Company X Of the Ninety seventh
Infantry volunteers. At the end of that
term Of service he was veteranized and
re-enlisted for three years more. But
soon, by the consent of his company aud
regiment officers, he was allowed to 20
heme, and his brother, George Francis,
took his place in the ranks.
Now, the brother Hiram is dead.
George served to the end of the war and
received honorable discharge in his
brothers assumed name He was
wounded in the mine explosion mt Pc
tersburg, for which he drew n pension
under his brothers enlisted namc until
the latter died, when it was stopped
But George wants pension for his "a
months service. Hiram's widow now
receives pension for the service of her
dead husband This was too much for
the bureau of pensions, and so the mat
ter was taken to congress, where the
committee ON invalid pensions decides
that both soldier and substitutes widow
are entitled to government aid in ther
declining years -Washington Post.

There is little doubt that live Board
OF Trade would be OF material advau-
tage to Pawtucket. It would benefit
business men generally to get together
once in awhile and see if anybody had
anything to offer for the good OF the
city. Such an organization should
have low membership fee, and he or
gsnized so that anybody interested in
the welfare of the city could join it.
There are other things that it could do
besides inducing industries to locate or
remain here. Under such body

fairs might be carried out with profit
to the local merchants. But it needs

CLEVELAND'S JOKE.

President Cleveland is getting very

ny things he has said and done that are
surprising to those who consider him q
serious person, without humor or senti-
ment. But he is usually very sly about
his fun and does not let the outside
world participate in the enjoyment. He
did, however, unbend little at the
performance Of Chevalier the English
ballad singer, the other night, when he

When the prestidigitator of the com.

THE RICH AND POOR.

The statement that there are 5000
families in the city Of Chicago in Also
lutte destitution, having neither food
nor fuel nor any source OF income; to-
gether with the well-known fact that in
New York, Boston and even Providence
and smaller cities there is vast and
distressing amount OF poverty, causes
enc to wonder just how these UNEQUAL
conditions Of rich ana poor have come
about. But all speculation and theoriz-
ing are useless in alleviating the suffer
ing that we now find at our doors. The
present is the time for action; the fu.
ture will do for theory. What the
starving poor want now is bread ana
coal.

aroused to unusual exertions, and the
