RHODE ISLAND lias followed tlie ex ample of Pennsylvania in voting j against constitutional prohibition by | a large majority. Rhode Island tried I it for three years and more than two- j thirds of its voters declared it a fail- \ ure. THE prohibitionists declare that | they must "reorganize." In much j the same spirit an old lady down j South inquired of her nephew, about I ton days after the surrender at Appo mattox : "When is General Lee going to whip these Yankees again ?" AN Ohio dynamiter who failed to blow up the house of a woman who wouldn't marry him committed suicide on being arrested. This was better than furnishing the hangman with a job, and if all dynamiters will commit suicide before blowing anybody up I they will do the public the greatest service possible. THE "bosses" of both political par ties in this state evidently have little influence outside of Philadelphia. ! They piled up a big majority for the j suffrage amendment there, but that city stands alone iu the column in-! tended for counties voting for the | amendment, aud its majority, big as it was, is not much more than a third as large as the majorities piled up against it by the people of the state. IT is reported that Miss Maggie j Harrison, the President's neice, was on Monday saved from drowning in Lake Minnetonka, Minn. The names of three gentlemen are connected with the event but neither is given special prominence over the others. It is understood that all will he treated alike and that their commissions will be issued as soon as their Democratic predecessors have been formally re moved. The time when Republics were ungrateful is past. OKLAHOMA is a typical American city. It is less than two months old and announces a grand celebration of the Fourth of July, which a commit tee has been appointed to conduct. Excursion trains are to he run to the new city, and the committee confi dently announces that 30,000 stran gers will visit the place. A great deal of this is Western brag, but it will have its ofiect, and the speculators who have lots and claims to sell fore see in flic Fourth of July celebration a fine opportunity to bring sight seers and investors to the new city. CERTAIN politicians, who thought they were going to grow Presidential timber when they planted David Ben nett Kill on the ruins of the Presiden tial campaign in New York last fall, are finding out that treachery is a poor fertilizer. While Gov. Hill's friends in Albany are vindicating the purity of his motives and the honesty of his purpose, the moulders of Demo cratic opinion tlirougout the country have carefully weighed his case and come to the conclusion that Gov. Hill is not the man to lead the Democratic battle in IHII2.—St. Louis /Icjiulilic. Quite correct. Democracy wants no ballot reform vetoer as a leader. STRIKING workmen in Europe mani fest a fierceness and savageness which is not shown by Americans, even under circumstances of greatest excite ment. Some silver miners on strike in the Ural mountains, Russia, set tiro to the houses of the managers and to a number of factories, and seven per sons were burned to death. These men in their blind rage doubtless thought they were getting revenge for years of oppression and wrong; hut they wore wide of the mark. Killing a few mine managers and burning factories will not remedy the trouble, while it will bring on those guilty of these acts the condemnation of Christendom, in addition to the severe punishment of the law. A COMPLAINING contemporary, com menting upon the refusal of the ad ministration to give reasons for the removal of Chief Justice Sandford, quotes the following passage from a speech mode by Harrison in the Senate in 1880: I do lift up a hearty prayer that we may never have a President who will not either pursue and compel his cabinet advisers to pursue the civil service policy pure and simple and upon a just basis, 1 allowing men accused to be heard, ana deciding against them only upon compe- ; tent proof and fairly—either have that kind of a civil service or, for I tod's sake, let us have that other frank and bold, if brutal, method of turning men and women out simply for political reasons. Let us have one or the other. Well, what would you have? Is not Harrison giving us the "other" kind of civil service policy, "frank and bold, if brutal," in full measure? The frankness is a trifle weak kneed per haps, but there can be no doubt as to the boldness and brutality of the things done by this administration. The wife of ex-President Hayes died at her home in Ohio on Monday. Simon ('ameron died at llarrisbttrg at 8 o'clock last night. The Modern Danger. Mr. John Fisko, in liia historical work just published, "The Beginnings of New England," after dwelling upon the growth and advantages of the English or representative idea of government as compared with the Roman or non-repre sentative, says: "The inherited pre datory tendency to seize unon the fruits of other people's labor is still very strong, and while we have nothing more to fear from kings we may yet have trouble enough from commercial monopolies and favored industries marching to the polls their hordes of bribed retainers." These are the words, not of a poli tician, but of a philosophical student of history and of governmental tendencies. They follow in a line of thought having respect to the weakness and strength of the several forms of "nation-making" from the earliest times to the present. First was the Oriental method, or con quest without incorporation. This was a mere extended slavery. Then came the Roman method, or conquest with incorporation but without representation. I This was an improvement on the former | and the cause of human rights was to I some extent advanced thereby, but dur i ing the many centuries it was maintained 011 the European Continent—and it yet j lingers—tribute all the time was wrung j from the unconsulted masses by the 1 >ower of might, j The Roman is being supplanted by the j English method, or incorporation icifh j representation, which, so far, finds its i | highest development iq the United | States. It has put aside old forms of j despotism and injustice, but, says Mr. i Fiske, not "without unremitting watch fulness can we be sure that the day of 1 peril is yet past." What if, though" we ! have a Government representative in form, the representation is assailed, pol luted and robbed of its fidelity by despots who have learned to make sceptres of money. It is a trite saying, but over j flowing with truth, that "eternal vigi ; lance is the price of liberty." The pre | datory instinct is still active, and here, clearly, is the enemy in its new shape, j and the sooner and more widely its pre- | ; sence is recognized the more effectually ! will it be coped with.—JY. 3". World. Cleveland Ever; Hill Never. Henry Watterson, the brilliant editor j i of the Louisville Courier-Journal and the i I most representative leader of "Western i j and Southern Democracy, says, in a late | : number of his newspaper regarding the early presentation of the names of Presi- i I dentialcandidates for 1892, that "thedis- j ! cussion of a leader for 1892 seems to us ; | both premature and frivolous. Half a , : century of American history teaches us j i that three years is a political generation in ! . a country and a system such as ours. "Three years before < Cleveland's nom l ination his name had not travelled fifty ' miles away from the city in which lie ! lived, and who, three years ago, when \ Benjamin Harrison lost his scat in the > Senate lie had not distinguished, would ; have ventured the prediction that he 1 would pass oyer the heads of Blaine, 1 Sherman, Allison and the rest and lie- j come President of the United States? I Facts like these baffle all calculation. They show us how idle is prophecy in I this regard. Our next President may be ; hid somewhere in a cornfield, the cane brake, or the stars. Who can tell?" The names of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. I Hill are those which are still solely men- 1 , tioned by the Eastern press for the Democratic nomination. The Demo-1 cracy of the West and South seem to he unanimous for the ex-President, and the North and East nearly so. As for the West, it does not like Governor Hill, and its leading Democratic journals ex- j press the general sentiment that he cannot be the candidate of his party in 1892. Respecting the proposition to nominate liim the St. Louis Republic, one of the most radical of Western Demo cratic journals, says: "This is the year to tell the truth about David Bennett Hill, one of the most ignorant, narrow and unscrupulous pot house politicians who even pretended to be a Democrat or knifed a Democratic ticket. Jle is not honest enough to be reputable, and he has not brains enough to conceal the traces of his subterranean work." Tanner as a Surplus Spender. Nothing could he better calculated to cast discredit on our entire pension system than the spirit in which a man 1 like Tanner comes to its administration. ! And surely nothing could he better cal culated to humiliate self-respecting vet erans of the war than the prominence given by the aid of the Grand Army of the Republic to a blatherskite and trick ster like the present Commissioner of Pensions. If Mr. Cleveland blundered in treating with scant courtesy the claims made on behalf of disabled veterans of the war, Mr. Harrison will blunder still more seriously if lie thinks that the country will stand any such reckless squandering of public money on all who ! have the ghost of a claim for a pension ! as Tanner and his associates seem pre- i pared to sanction. That since 18G5 the pension list should have grown from SB,- ; 000,000 to $80,000,000 is ;i sufficiently suggestive fact without adoptinga scheme ; of payment under which the expenditure j would continue to grow with the lessen- j ing of the numbers of the survivors of ; the war, and which would result in j saddling the next generation with an elaborate system of making paupers.— f i The Epoch. Til© Law ('(lines Non© Too Soon. The Philadelphia Inquirer, in referring ! to the accident at Plymouth last week by i which four lives were lost says that the law providing for examination of men employed in coal mines was not enacted any too soon, as was shown at the Not- i tingham mine, at Plymouth, last week. A number of Polish miners, so utterly I incompetent that they did not know the meaning of a danger sign, not only walk- i ed past the warning, but removed it, so that more intelligent men who might have escaped were led into the trap. It t was providential that the disaster oc- ! ourred when hut few men were in the mine; otherwise the loss of life would i have been much greater than it was. One would think that mine owners would fear to risk their property in the hands >f such incompetent men, hut they seem to look only at the cheapness of this class of labor and pay no attention to the •langor that goes with it. The Lehigh Valley Will Probably Win. Ihe New ork Mi niug mid Engineering Jour mil says there is considerable dis cussion now in the trade concerning the probable decision of the Inter-StatoCom-1 merce Commission in the Coxe case, I and, though, of course, no official infor mation has been given as how the deci sion will go, yet the feeling is becoming ! rather prevalent that it will not he against the railroad company; at least, ! those who are supposed to have the largest interests at stake among the transporting companies are acting as though quite satisfied on this point. Certainly the interests involved are enormous, and the commission will, 110 doubt, give the matter the most careful consideration before arriving at a deci- j sion. The case lias in no manner affec ted the market either for present or future deliveries. j Subcribe for the TIUUUNB. A Weighty Matter.

It was the beginning of the year,and \ Mr. Archibald Wise had made up his j mind that lie must economize some- | where. After debating the matter for j 1 some time he concluded to give lip i taking regularly a daily paper. Mrs. I Wise ventured a remonstrance: "Why not give up some personal j expenses," she said, "instead of hitting | upon something which will affect the ! entire familyP Cigars, for instance; i I have often thought it would lie a : positive benefit could you do without I tliem." Mr. Wise was a kind husband and , father, hut, like many another man, j once he had resolved upon a certain tiling he was not easily turned aside, j "The family," lie began in reply, j "consists only of you and me, my j dear, so far as the use of a paper is ! concerned. Our children, all under 14 years of age,are not exactly eager for i news, I take it; and as to my getting ; along without cigars, I could far more | easily go without my coffee in the j morning or tea at night. You can not imagine the solace contained in a ci- : I gar to a tired or perplexed man of business." But Mrs. Wise still remonstrated: "You are mistaken," she said, "in thinking that the children do not need the daily paper. Indirectly they do; I find a great deal of interest and in struction iu our paper with which to teacli the children. 1 really hope you will rccousider before actually stop ping it." "1 shall buy a paper quite often," , replied Mr. Wise. "Of course a man ; must know something of what is go- I ing on in the world about him, but I think a daily of numerous pages quite unnecessary, and I must he allowed to exorcise my judgment in the mat ter." It is an old saying that the remark, ; "allow me to juugo,' puts an end to al- ; most any discussion. Accordingly Mrs. Wise said no more, hut it de pressed her to feel that the friendly visits of her favorite daily must be dis continued. At first Mr. Wise carried home a lit tle thiu substitute for the old favorite nearly every night, but by degrees even that came less and less frequent ly. When lie boasted to his wife that lie really got fto news almost as com pletely as ever by watching the bulle tins and hearing men talk, she replied ratherly dryly that men did have con siderable advantage over women in the matter of getting news without paying for it. They could stand and j gaze at plcasuro at great scrolls I posted on the side of newspaper build ings and glean a good deal from other men. Yes, it was a real sharp way to | economize without losing much, cheap and perfectly nice, she supposed. Although Mrs. Wise's manner was : tranquil as a summer sea, yet her j words ruffled and irritated her husband; and if the truth were known, it was i not all quite smooth sailing for Mr. Wise. 11c did not actually enjoy sit- j ting in the station or horse cars empty 1 handed, among groups of men, all of ! whom, except himself, had open pa- pors in their hands; so lie resorted to the expedient of carrying a folded pa- ■ per in the breast pocket of his coat,that it might appear as if lie had a paper which presumably had already been perused. One evening as he was hurrying to ward the station, a little ragged gamin, with papers under his arm,squinted up into in his face and cried: "Mister, want to read all about the c'JissionP" "What collision P" asked Mr. Wise. ! "Oh, you buy the paper aud find j out," said the urchin, his phiz in the ! air and his little grimy paw held out j for pennies. "I have a paper," said Mr. Wise, glancing toward his breast pocket. "Bet you ain't seen 'bout the c'l lision," persisted the boy; "it's a spec ial in my paper; better have one, son ny!" But Mr. Wiso haughtily eschewed all counsel from such a source, and hurried on. On the train ho seated himself be tween acquaintances, who looked up from their papers to exchange greet- j 1 ings. "Bad news this evening." "Yes; quite a collision, replied Mr. Wise. "Ah, I hadn't seen that," said his | friend; "where do you find it?" | "I haven't read the particulars," ; said Mr. Wise, feeling the uncertainty of his position. "Will you allow me to sec your pa perP" asked the gentleman on his oth er side. lie was an agent for life in surance companies, aud added, "I'm making a list of accidents lately, with I a motive." Mr. Wiso realized the danger of tak- | ing subterfuge in further deception. "I haven't the account in my paper," j lie said. "I heard the matter men tioned, but can't tell anything about it. Thought I might hear more from you," he added blandly. Another mo ! inent ho adroitly chanced the subiect. Next day, in going to anu fro, Mr. Wise scanned the bulletins in search of tho "bad news" alluded to by his friend, also for an account of the" col lision mentioned by the boy; but ho succeeded in obtaining information on neither point. Ou his way homo he encountered the gamin again, who asked him with his aggravating squint: "Read 'bout the c'llision yet, mis ter?" "How dare vou tell falsehoods to help sell papers?" inquired Mr. Wise, sternly. "Read there for yourself," said the youngster, pointing to a paragraph in his single remaining paper. Mr. Wise took the paper and read: "Boylston street runs into Washing ton street." Without a word Mr. Wise paid for the paper and strode on. Arrived at home, his wife asked if he attended the annual meeting that afternoon of tho stockholders of the T. Y. and Z. Railroad Company. It oc curred a week sooner, she explained, than had been expected, but Mrs. Chester said it was advertised in the leading daily papers. Mr. Wise's face fell. He was not a stockholder in the wealthy concern, but it had been intimated to him that at the closo of the meeting some ap pointments would probably be made, one of which might affect him favora bly wore lie on tho spot to press his claim. lie ate his supper in gloomy silence, then went to call on Mr. Chester, one of the stockholders of tho railroad I company. To his keen disgust and disappointment 110 learned that his absence had been taken for indiffer cucc and the appointments had been made. "But I received a circular stating that the meeting would not taku place until next week," said Mr. Wise. "Yes," replied Mr. Chester, "so of course did I, but circumstances were making it necessary that tho meeting 1 should tako place to-day; it was well advertised iu the papers," added Mr. j Chester. "Strange I didn't see it," almost growled Mr. Wise, as 110 turned from I the door. i Mrs. Wise sincerely hoped this cir cumstance would convince her hus band of tho poor economy of trying to get along without a daily paper, but she soon discovered it had only served | to make his resolves the more dogged. About that time Mrs. Wise became engaged iu the purchase of a new dress. She was a pretty lady, and was always tastefully attired, a matter iu which her husbaud felt no little pride. Hut when sho appeared before lum in her new attire Mr. Wise ex claimed almost angrily: "Why, wife! I never saw you in anything so positively hideous before. What could have induced you to buy such a mean fabric, and such dull, un becoming eolorsP" "Had I only known it," his wife re plied, regretfully, "I might have gone to Warren's and bought a beautiful silk and wool fabric for the same money I paid for this, but I did not see their advertisement, and thought it was no use to go up to their store, where things arc usually higher than anywhere else. I was limited as to price, and did the best I could." In another part of the suburban city where Mr. Wise resided lived his cousin, Mr. Herbert Wise. The cousins had no great fondness for each other and seldom met, except occasionally at the house of Dr. Erasing Wise, an uncle. Dr. Wise was a retired physician, living in the great city where both his nephews were engaged in business. He was widely known and esteemed among the profession, and had a largo acquaintance, with whom he was ex tremely popular. A man of rare principles, he felt that lie should regard his nephews equally favorably, but despite the fact of Her bert being much more assiduous in ids attentions than Archibald, he yet felt drawn more nearly to the latter. As these nephews were the old doc tor's nearest living relatives, it was perhaps only natural that both gentle men had vaguo expectations that it might transpire at some future day that they had beeu generously remoin bercd when tho old physician should have done with all earthly wants. One morning as Archibald Wise was about entering bis oilice lie suddenly encountered his cousin Herbert, who said, smilingly: "So you didn't think best to appear at our good uuelc's last night?" "What do you mean?" "Why, I mean you didu't present yourself to ask after him." "Why, what's the matter?" "How? You didn't see the account in your paper yesterdayP" "Inot a word of it! Did you?" "Why, certainly. Uucle seemed to think your absence somewhat marked, I fancied, in the midst of such a largo assemblage of friends." As soon as Herbert Wise's back was turned his cousin went hastily to the nearest news-stand and bought a pa per of the day before. It took him but a moment to tindthat the old gen tleman had been injured and narrowly escaped death, iu a runaway accident, and that many citizens had called to congratulate him on having attained his 80th birthday in safety. At the large gathering the previous night, when Mr. Herbert Wise was about taking leave of his uucle, the genial old gentleman remarked: "1 am disappointed at not seeing Archie hero to-night. Have you heard that ho was away or indisposed?" "Oh, no," replied Herbert hesitating ly; "he may not have known of it." "But I think he must," rejoined his uncle; "the occasion was noticed twice in lus paper." "Perhaps he takes no paper regu larly," suggested the nephew, who seemed to have developed a sudden aptitude for drawing conclusions. "And perhaps he does," said the old gentleman serenely, at tho same tiino he thought a keen, forbidding thought concerning tho man he felt had cast a slur toward his favorite nephew. Reflecting on tho subject later in tho solitude of ids chamber, Uucle Erastus soliloquized audibly. "It looks to me as if Herbert might have said that for the purpose of alionating me from Archie. I can re call having heard him speak slighting ly of his cousin on former occasions. I wonder if he thinks—" But there the old man sank into profound reverie. After a moment, however, he aroused and added, em phatically— "No, indeed! That would not bo Archie at all! I'd be ashamed, indeed, of a relative of mine who would go without a daily paper for any causo except extreme poverty, but I believe there is no danger that a Wise would do so foolish a thing!" At noon Mr. Archibald Wise was emerging from tho newspaper ollico when lie met his uucle just going in. in eager, sincere terms, tne nepnew began to explain his absence the night before. "I entirely missed learning of the accident," he said, simply. "I see you have your paper," said his uncle, glancing at tho ample sheet in his nephew's hands. •'Yes; I've just been in to pay my subscription." "Ami I'm going in to renew mine; wait a bit, Archie, and we'll go to din ner together." True to the latent manliness of his nature, Mr. Archibald Wise told the whole story to his wife that night, and added what seemed a redeeming con fession; he said: "Why is it a man seems possessed to persist in a resolve he knows is only damaging and hazardous simply be cause ho is determined to do so? I can't tell; I only know I'm done with trying to economize in such a costly way as I discover is involved in doing without my valuable paper." A few years later, when Uncle Eras tns' will was opened, it was found that Herbert's Wise's prejudicial hints had not injured his eousiu in the least. For besides stubbornly apportioning alarge sum to the city hospital, of which he had long been the senior visiting pliy siciau, the old doctor had further de monstrated the contrariness of human nature by leavingto his nephew, Archi bald Wise, twice as much money as he left his more ambitious cousin, Herbert, who unconsciously displeased his good uncle by a base yet perfectly truthful insinuation, ouly its truthful ness was fortunately concealed. — Har riet A.
