EHE FALL ELECTIONS.

While most of the elections to t&ke
place this fall are to very large extent
of local character, yet the Issues in
volved in esch of them assume almost, if
not quite, a national Importance, ard
will to greater or less extent influence
the Presidential election of next year.
The first elections to come off this fall
are those of California and Vermont, on
the first Tuesiay in September. IL these
States Governor and Legislature are TO
be elected. In Cslifornis, the Radical
nominee (B0othe) is unpopular with his
own PARTY, and if there was any danger
before, this assures the reelection of
Gov. Haight. The Democrats are also
confident that they will carry the Legis-
lsture. The Radicals will, of course,
carry Vermont.
Ga the Second Monday in September
Maine holds her election for a Governor
and other State officers. The election
there will be warmly contested, and it is
strongly hoped the Radical majority there
will be largely reduced.
Gov. Davis has ordered an election in
Texas for four Representatives in Con-
gress, commencing Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Next come the elections in the great
States of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa,
all voting on the second Tuesday in Octo-
bf. A great deal of interest centres
upon Ohio, where, in addition TO the
election of a Governor and other State
officers, new legislature is to be chosen,
which will elect successor to the Hon.
John Sherman in the United States Sens
ate. A vigorous canvass is being made by
the candidates of the two parties, and
the Democrats are saDguine of carrying
the election. The Radical situation there
is considerably mixed. John Sherman
ard Columbus Delano, and possibly Min
lister Schenck, Gov. Hayes and Ben.
Wade are candidates for the Senate. This
will create more or less division in the
local politics, which will rebound to the
advantage of the Democrats. In Penn
sylvania the canvass is being vigorously
prosecuted, and everything at present in
Gates that the Democrats will carry the
State by handsome majority.
Elections will be held in Massachusetts,,
New Jersey and Wisconsin on Tuesday,
November z, when State officers and
members of the Legislature will be
chosen.

cured but that the heavy vote against it
was simply an expression OF popular dis
gust at the continual meddling with the
Constitution which the people Of the
State are content with as 1t is.
Concerning the first amendment refer
red to. the Journal remarks:
The people of Rhode Island view this
ma n practical question, as a question
wbether the State shall be governed as
New York city is governed, and without
the wholesome restraint which New York
city receives from the political power OF
the rural population. Unfortunately for
us, the agricultural interest in this State
Is too small TOO make an efectual barrier
against the kind OF government which al
fiicts New York. And our people believe
that with the same suffrage, we should
have the same rule. If the amendment
lust voted down would bring nothing
worse than the ascendancy Of the Demo
cratic party, which, of course, would toll
low, II would be tolerable; but when we
look at New York, and contemplate a
similar ruein Rhode Island, prudent citi-
zens, Democrats as well Us Republicans,
and many naturaliEed as well as native
voters, shrink from the picture.

too insignificant for serious attention. II
is especially important tn have good su'

Editors Of the IntellIgeneeF.
Il is currently reported that the Demo,
cratic candidates for the Constitutional
Convention, and for the State Legislature,
are pledged to the division OF the school
fund, between the Catholic Church and
the residue OF the community, in proper
ton 10 their respective numbers That
is, that the church is to have under its
own control the proportion Of the fund to
which its numbers are entitled, To be ex-
pended for the support OF schools under
the control OF the church. This is mat
ter Of too much importance to be- left in
doubt 1t is due to the community whose
votes they are seeking to say promptly and
frankly whether they are in favor OF such
a distribution Of the school fund or not,
II they refuse to do so they haYeno right

NOR as true, and govern themselves accor-

A Reform in the Conduct of Fu-
neTnIs.

We have long considered, and have at
times suggested, that the custom oil em-
ploying long funeral trains in the sepul.
turc of the dead, was not only one more
hOnored in the breach than in the Obser.
vance, but was serious evil grave enough
in its magnitude, and glievOus enough in
It's results, to merit the best ciTerts of all
philanthropic persons in m effort to re.
form IT, 1t Is with dhe more pleasure,
therefore, that we print elsewhere n paper
on this subject, prepared and signed by all
the resident protestant clergymen in the
city, save one or two who were absent,
recommending that, from considerations
Of propriety and delicacy, no less than
of n proper economy, those who set ex-
amples and give tone in all social customs
and observancCs dispense with the long
trains of carriages that now everywhere
follow the remains of the dead to their
resting place, and leave the last rites
to be performed by the immediate friends
of the deceased, with privacy better
suited to their feelings and to the occa.
sion than is possible under the present
custom.
The subject is presented with so much
good sense and dellcacy that we could
not hope to add to tie persuasiveness Of
the argument. We refer to it, therefore
only to direct attention to the paper
itself, and to commend 1t to our readers,
both at home and abroad, with most
earnest approval.

The Rhode Island Election,O

Rhode Island last Monday voted on
three amendments TO her Constitution
and rejected them all, three.iliths of the
votes cast being necessary to ratify.
The first and most important amend.
ment proposed TO abolish the existing
property suffrage qualification for citizens
of foreign birth This ia question that
has agitated the State for several years.
1t is not improbable that but for the OK.
ample afforded by New York this restric.
ton would have been removed; but the
Tammany exposures coming just when
they did, and showing such deplorable con.
sequences of an irresponsible foreign rule
in that city, no doubt contributed TO en-.
phasize the vote Tor Its rejection. The
vote stands for abOlishing the property
qualification; 3,tl4 against, G,3GO.
The second amendment proposed to
abolish the registry tax Of one dollar for
the support of public education MS quail.
tlcation for suffrage in persons who paid
no other taxes. This was rejected by
1914 votes for and 5,ssS against.
The third amendment proposed to pro.
hibit any appropriation of public money
for the support Of sectarian schools. This
received vote of 5,OOS for and 449I
against, but Jailed for lack OF the three.
fiiths On its face this this would indi'
cate large proportion Of public senti-
ment in favor Of permitting the use Of
public money for the support Of sectarian
schools; but the Providence journal says
there was no real opposition to this
amendment, its objects being already Sc.
