"AleXanderC Caesar, Charlemagne and my

rest the creations of our genius? Upon
force! Jesus Christ alone founded his en-

men would die for him.

test for three centuries, begun by the apos-
Ties, then continued by the flood of Chris

and potaltates Of earth were on one side; on

Napoleon stopped at these last words; but

added, elf you do not perceive that Jesus
Christ is God, did wrong to appoint you

The Rhode Island Loco Foco Revolution
turns out, as we presumed it would, to have
been IL bloodless one. We received the fol.

Providence, April IS, 1912.
The farce of anelection, under the social
ed Peoples Constitutions" is now going on.
They will hold meetings in the greater part
Of the State, but probably will not attempt it
in some the Southern towns. The Ward
ems and Clerks will not be summarily arres-
ted here, but will be indicted and tried in the
usual manner. In some parts Of the State
it is probable that arrests will be made to-
day. In that case they will not make resis-
lance, as they have threatened, but will give
bail. The voting is conducted without any
OF the usual precautions against fraud, and 1t
is doubtless the intention to return large
number Of coles, with very little reference to
the number of Uolers. Nothing can be easier
than this. Some indignation has been excl
ted among the party by the refusal of the
leaders to act as Wardens. The post Of hon.
or loses its charms with them when it be-
comes the post of danger, and they put for
ward men from the rank and file.

RHODE IsLAND.-Each party has held an
Election and carried its ticket by an over
wheIming majority--the Free Suffrage party
on Monday, when it polled some 5000 votes;
the Landholdcrs' party on Wednesday,
majority, and its Representatives ia most of
the towns. ct is hardly fair to call this par
~ the LandhoIders', since they have framed
and submitted Constitution giving the
right of Suffrage to all American born citi-
zens irrespective of property Their poll is
about as great as that Of the Suffrage party.
Each ticket Was made up from 10th the old
Political parties. No opposition was made
to the holding of the Free Suffrage party's
Election, but it is understood that, When their
officers proceed to qualify aud assume the
functions Of office ON the third Monday of
May, they will be arrested under the "Alge-
rine Law" as it is termed, of the late Legis-
lature. This arrest, it is threatened, will be
resisted by force, aud thus the two parties
will be brought into direct, and we fear
bloody, collision. The Suffrage men say
they have three thousand men ready to fly to
arms in defence of their Constitution.
This is sad state of things, fer which
both parties are much to blame. In the first
place, the Landholders ought to have conce-
ded more liberal Constitution long ago in
the next, the Free Suffrage men should have
accepted that which was offered, and thus
invested themselves with power to modify it
legally as soon and as far as they chose
But neither party chose to follow moderate
counsels while they were available, and now
both are exposed to the horrible danger of
each others blood on punctiliO
when all essential grounds Of difference
have been removed.-N. Y. Tribune.
THE MEXICAN ARMY.-We find in one of
our Campeachy papers of the 18th ult., a
statement OF the Mexican army that had Just
been received by an arrival from Vera Cruz.
The force actually on foot and mounted was
upwards OF 10000 men and although not
thoroughly disciplined at the time, there was
no doubt it would soon become nearly per-
feet, from the unusual excrtions and activity
displayed by the officers 10 effect that object.
The army was then stationed thus-36OO in
Kalapa; 1900 in Perota 1000 in Puebla
500 in Vera Cruz ; 1900 in Uloa; 1000 in
the capital, and the remainder at various
