The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-03-20

Our esteemed GooGoo contemporary,
the independent Citizen, is real mad with
the Mucaguc, which 1t has heretofore
maintained was ncbulous with all the
political virtues. And being mad, it
splts out good deal OF truth in the fol-
lowing: "This organization has departed
from the purpose for which 1t was organ
lied, entering the domain of State politics
by nominating an Assembly ticket.
What the reason or excuse for SO doing is
nobody but select few know. The sue
cess which the League has attained in the
realm of city politics has evidently turned
the heads of a few of its leaders, and
they. like Alexander the Great, have
longed for moro worlds to conquer. This
action on the part of the League destroys
its usefulness as non partisan organiza-
ton and puts IL on level with every
other office seeking aggregation of voters.
Indeed the great trouble with the League is
that IL has In its ranks, especially among
its leaders, too many self seekers after Office
and too few men who are unselilsh in
their aims. The president Of the organi.
zation has big Congressional bee buz-
zing around his head, and the secretary
Is looking for somcthing-iust what doth
not yet appear The history of the or
ganization only shows us that there is
nothing non partisan in politics. "

Having heard from both the chief parties
To the Carson City discussion, we are now
getting tho views of their parents or
guardians and near relatives. Gliinpses Of
a higher passion than pugilism arc caught
through these We CLEAN, for instance,
that the triumph of Col. Fitzsimmons
has brought him all but absolute happi-
ness. He only sighs TO think that his
mother-in-law could not have lived to see
the day ON the other hand, the Hon.
Jim Corbctt can bear up from his disaster
were il not for the fact that the blow that
collapsed him almost killed father All
this shows the kindly heart beneath the
vest of knitted muscle II Is the only John
L. sullivan who recalls that, when he
battled with Mitchell, at a critical moment
for the latter friends at the ringslde called

We printed the other day an additional
statement of the committee of tho trpis-
toes Of the proyiacncc Public Library au-
thorizcd TO receive subscriptions for the
new building
While hesltatlng TO make an appeal for
the additional funds necessary TO secure
the full advantage of the moneys now at
command for the construction and
equipment of the new public library, the
committee aims to give their fellow citi-
zens clear understanding Of the situa-
ton which makes necessary a further con-
tribution TO the amount Of $1,000
AZ The News has been mt pains TO point
out since the receipt of the splendid gift
of Mr. John Nicholas Brown for tho
fund, helpful and encouraging as 1t was
and serving, as it does. to make possible
the completion Of the building, that gift
does not by any means provide for all that
is>needed and the donor did not contem-
plate that his contribution would bc
stretched TO cover, as well MS may be, all
the plans for setting up tho new library.
1t is not unlikely, indeed, that because OF
the size of Mr. Browns contribution
many citizens believe that no more money
will be needed But such an impression
is surely not warranted for the commit
tees statement as set forth the other
day, is exactly the same as was
presented Co the consideration Of the citi-
zens of Providence before there was any
idea that the generosity and public spirit
of an individual would go SO far toward
securing what the city has stood in need
| of for so long time, public library
| commensurate to the demands of the com
| munity and also to the interest and lofty
| ambition so long made manifest under
| peculiarly trying conditions on the part
of the trustees and staff of the institution
The citlzens of Providence indeed ough
to feel somewhat grateful to Mr.. Brown
not alone for the gift he has made but be
cause hc did not make it so large that al
the rest of us should be debarred from th'
material expression of our interest II
this, our public library. The opportunit!
is still left us i'm accordance with oul
means, to show our common public spirit
and raise that matter of a hundred thous
and dollars as speedily as practicable, an'
the more Of us that chip in the better WE
si1uff NIL frcf abottt itfur better THAN NJ
will, if we let tho opportunity pass o
making popular and general contribu
tion before one or two more men of larg
means and larger public spirit get ahea'
of us by completing the fund and shut
ting us out.
