There can be no such thing as principle

CHILD LABOR AND OTHERS.

Editor Providence News:
Hope and Fear alike perplex me, oh,
fickle-minded dread:
How many idle fancies do you confine in
my head.
Mr.. j. III. Nickerson's letter OF Thurs
day, March 18th, brought me to the above
state OF mind. | have been always long
ing for something TO do away with child
slavery, also old man slavery and IL So
cialsm will do It / am with you heart
and soul. Mr.. Nickerson.
I was shown an editorial In the Provi-
dence Journal OF Saturday. which depicts
the heartrending condition OF children
working at ten years and under In other
states. but nothing about a remedy. II
you can combat the vast amount of ig-
norance, Mr. Nickerson, that Is where my
fears lay. Look at the old men--over so
years-working at cellar digging.
OF course, they have not the brains to
get up Miller swlndles or make -four and
oil dearer. but they have my sympathy
as well az the child slaves. acknowl-
edge you TO he a better writer and pos
| sibly a better man than I am, for you
have faith. live I'm hope and fear. but
I saw the sun come out Saturday and
clear away the mists SO, too. the mists
are clearing away from my brain and l
may yet see the true light.
My hope revived when I read In Fri
days News the letter written by Joseph
Brickell to Representative Mcdonald.
The union men are not TO be bluffed
by any play of either old parties" Thank
God for that. The sun is trying 10
clear the mists I'm the right place. My
hopes revive when The News is brave

son, TO a place In its columns, also others

WATERSIDE PARK.

Somewhat over three acres of the
| park area is now in good condition,
graded and seeded and a fence placed
along Water street to keep out teams
and other tresrassers until the lawn is
thoroughly est ablished. Another space
of ground Immediately below the shell
ter house has been roughly graded and
turned over to the young people for
gall games. New trees have been set
out, others replaced. The tree planting
has met with very little success on this
newly filled ground, where the material
Is composed of everything imaginable
and produces gases which sooner or
later kill the roots of trees. The filling
of the lower part of the park is pro-
crossing rapidly. 1t seems as it a very
few years would bring the whole sur
face to grade. This year, again, q large
quantity of compost has been accumu
lated. This inventories SS5 cubic yards,
/ which, at $3.50 per yard represents a
valuation of $1,221.5O.
BAY VIEW PARK.
This favOrite resort on hot summer
days has been considerably improved
in its condition. A dense new planting
of trees and shrubs, forming a natural
screen to conceal the dilapidated fences
and sheds in the adjoining yards on the
southern boundary has much improved
the general appearance of the park.
Small groups of planting along the
lake borders and on the iset have CIV
en- that sheet of water more cheerful
look. Two very substantial rustic
% CT nj 6paiCn
constructed connecting the island with
the shore on each side of it. Twenty
four new stationary settees have been
made and securely fastened in the
ground in various places under the
trees. A new dirt sidewalk along Fifth
street and a similar one on each side of
Hallock avenue were made during the
season The park cottage, bath house,
and bulkhead have been repaired and
painted. An annual covering of our
valuable compost makes the lawns, for
merly so poor, look green and vigorous.
QUINNIPIAC PARK.
While only small amount Of filing
is brought to this park, naturally this
area cannot show any great advance
ment from year to year. A number of
new settees were made and located for
! public use near the shelter. The bath
houses were painted l may here say,
! that none of our bathing facilities are
large enough to accommodate the pub
/ lie demand.
FORT WOOSTER AND FORT HALE
PARKS.
Only the money necessary for the
maintenance of these parks was apprO-
priated and no material chagnes were
