The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-05-21

Editor Providence News;
| was much gratihed 10 see AN article
in the News of May u. In regard 20 the
noises I'm the heart of the city nightly.
This sort of thing is getting To be "A first
class nuisance. All well regulated and
orderly people need and require certain
amount OF sleep and rest 10 live out
their allotted days on earth But owing
10 a class OF drunken hoodlums, who make
night hideous, roaming through the
streets from 10 o'clock until a. M, with
IL utterly impossible for anyone 10 get
a decent nights rest III this Is so for
we'll people what must II be for the sick?
A large proportion OF this pandemonium
Is I'm plain hearing OF the police station
on Fountain street. Is there no redress
for the people OF this city from such
state of affairs, any more than from the
gang of pickpockets who have infested
the city for the Last year or two, and not
one of them so far has ever been taken In
by the police and given their just deserts?
The writer OF this knows "a reliable man
who says he saw gang of pickpockets
work "A crowd on the wharf at Crescent
Park late last season saw them take
ers, and when he offered 10 point out the
parties TO the police they turned him
down and would not have It, Now we
would like To ask what the taxpayers OF
this city pay the salaries OF the police
for, II II Is not for the protection they
are supposed to give them and their
families. from these midnight marauders,
thugs and thieves. :. A. B.

Like almost everything connected
OF calculation, of the result of the vote
next November,as shown by the elector-
al college, is false. II was stated that
Grosvenor's calculations gave McKln-
ley 26O votes, Bryan Ia votes. and Kan
Now comes Mr., Grosvenor. with let
ter. declaring. IL did not have anything
to 90 with the table. purporting TO be
given out by myself. The publication
of IL as coming from me was an infam-
Gus fraud and falsehood. and known to
be such by the man who gave it out"
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-05-21

The Mail and Express. nor any other
paper. ever wrote a truer thing than
this:
"Oficers OF some historical societies
gay they have been given considerable
trouble lately by the inquiries of per-
sons hooking for proof or disproof OF
family matters. In their wearriness
they generally refer these anxious in
quirers to some professional expert in
American geneslogy or local history.
This IL a long-stapding difficulty but
Il grows more serious every year. The
price Of information is constantly go
ing up, like the paintings OF the old
masters"
One OF the most laborious pursuits In
the world Is THIS research for uninter-
ssting details among archives when
veritably dry as dust; and most In
quirers wish TO pay nothirS and for
you to pay AN pcstages.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-05-21

IT seems TO be without excuse, this
publishing OF simple facts which are
not facts. Here are three specimens
from three newspapers. The CONNER
cial Advertiser says:
"A record OF 1858 immigrants as one
days arrivals at this port is worthy OF
the closest study of the effect upon our
national life. particularly when, 2,3O2 of
them are from Italy. Never before have
such figures been reached in single
day"
In giving the same item the Brockton
Times says: ts
Immigration to this country seems
20 be at noodtide. when for a single
day at New York the arrivals foot up
5,5S2T This was the record OF wednes-
day"
still different comes the same item in
the New York sun:
immigration has long been regarded
as a measure of this country's prosper
ity. The 4,s57 immigrants who entered
the United States through the barge
Office of this port on Wednesday made
the greatest number known for many
years"
The question at once arises. what con-
ddence can be placed upon newspaper
statements upon anS subject?
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-05-21

In discussing the decline OF church
attendance the New York Herald says,
among other things:
The people will not stand for vul-
garity any more than they will for
stupidity i'm Sunday newspaper. There
can. therefore, be no widespread decline
in public morals because OF the in
creased circulation of Sunday newspa-
pers.'
That is perfectly clear. Anybody can
see it. If you can't see 1t. go and
see sappho. Then the Herald goes on like
this:
Upon the contrary. an increase Of
intelligence. a livelier patriotism and an
elevation OF public taste must result
from the widespread circulation of a
journal like the Sunday -"
All that, too. rests on rock bottom. II
you do not believe. look at the novel
reading from all public libraries.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-05-21

The News gave from Woonsocket the
story OF the effect OF the law, by which
an exemption of wages to the amount
of $40. in that city. 1t now comes with
a similar statement from Pawtucket as
given by the Evening Times:
The amendment 10 the act OF Ex-
emptions from Arrest and from At
tachment," secured by Senator Bani-
gan of Pawtucket and passed by both
houses at the last session. is of i'm
portant moment alike 10 dealers and
10 workingmen whose wages are barely
sufficient for their needs. The perti-
nent alteration in the law provides
that the salary or wages due or pay.
able to a debtor I'm the sum of SO shall
be exempt from attachment.
THE justice OF this restriction ought
TO be clear when the surrounding
facts are considered. 1t permits the
debtor to retain $40 from his weekly
wages or salary for the support of his
family To cut him off from his entire
earnings would leave him and his de-
pendents TO starve until the Judgment
was settled. together with the fees and
costs which he might be so unfortunate
as to encounter in the process of being
compelled to pay the debt"
