Mr.. Comstock then stated that he
represented a number Of citizens who
would appear before the committee If
necessary and who had requested him
10 draw up the bill. He did not repres-
ent the people and so far as he knew
there was no general demand for 1t,

because public opinion is formed here
slowly.

for the Providence police force, ana
said that il was fully equal TO that of

ated favorable comment.
Mr.. Comstock said that he had been

that there s no discipline among them.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
Subject Of Rahbcne eardneTs Address Before
Young Mems Club Of CALVARY BAPTIST Church.

An address on Municipal Govern
ment" was delivered by Rathpohe
Gardner. Esq. before the Young Mems
club of Calvary Baptist church, last
evening. and Mr.. Gardner said, in SUD
stance. that there are many things IN
city government which would be pet-
tered IL men had more KNOWLEDGE OIL
municipal affairs. The government Oh
the city of Providence is peculiar. IL
has grown out OF the old system or
town government. 1t is a rule by COM
mittees, and the mayor had only
nominal position and no responsibility.
He said: Il believe that the meihoers
of the tity government are honesl' ailu
~ ignorant, act according To lllslr ~ ~
Judgment. The same cannot be salu
Of the legislature. | believe that body
as at present organized is rotten 10 tne
core. | believe that corruption IL rile
there IL ia rotten chiefly because ol
the bossism there. ! don't DelleNe Una.
there IS another of these In the United
states that is so boss-ridden In your
work here you ought To know SOME
thing about the social problems OF the
day. and TO consider ways TO so'nc
them. The main question today Is one
of money and the money class, ana not
a question of a difference of position IN
the classes.
"Take as an example the purchase
of the Rhode Island locomotive works
right here in this city. Some men
bought the works for s225,OOO ana gave
back a mortgage for that amount with
ont paying a cent. Today circular
of that concern. which saw. announced
the fact without any equivocation that
81 0OO. 900 had been paid for that plant.
Their idea is TO sell shares TO people
who really believe that 81 OO0O 900 has
been paid. l hope these considerations
will lead you To use your religious prin-
ciples in politics, and II you are cailed
To- office TO accept IL and do what is
right"
