Editor Providence News:
The winter is near. and the outlook for
the poor Is something terrible 1t is said
that the overseer OF the poor in the town
of East Providence has already given out
word that he will not do so much for
them this winter as he did last. / can
testify to case of last winter where a
lady OF refinement and respectability and
OF pure Anglo American stock, went TO
Mason b. Wood for little assistance
The lady was so weak she could hardly
stand and so hoarse she could hardly
speak.
She asked him If he would give her a
basket OF coal and few groceries. The
lady was suffering from an attack OF
bronchitis, which had been upon her for
three weeks, preventing her from acting
In her own behalf. This Is the answer
the lady received from the overseer of
the poor:
came from"
HAD ~ not been for a few friends the
lady would have starved. This person
had lived in East Providence nearly four
years, and had on an average given into
different grocery stores there one dollar
and half a week for groceries and fuel
the year round. besides spending almost
as much more there weekly in other ways
l find by reading the laws OF East
Providence that the person was entitled
TO Temporary aid" Such a law Is writ
ten and signed by ex-Councilman Nc
Causlan. There are other laws signed by
the same gentleman. which should be
known to ali people. l can show these
laws in printed matter today.
At the approach OF winter does II not
look as though such n man should be
turned from office and someone more
natural TO fill his place. The town OF
East Providence, and other towns. have
legal appropriations for the distressed.
and such appropriations should be given
to the worthy and even the unworthy. In
extreme poverty and inclement weather.
II IL Is right for such man 10 hold Of

named at all.

they have done since the second
election OF Cleveland. The Mas
sachusetts situation is satisfac-
tory to the Republicans, but
CASTOR has the support of a very
influential element which since
1890 refused to affiliate with the
Democracy. The masses of the
Republican party have intimated
pretty strongly TO the leaders
during the past few weeks that
there are danger signals ahead
and that though they are still Re
