IT is stated, and it is true, that Rhode
Island did not accept the Federal Con-
stitniion until an impatient nation
threatened to divide its territory between
Massachusetts and Connecticut; and it
will not accept the spirit Of the recent
amendments to the Constitution until
forced BY national authority. Natural
I'D citizens throughout the Union should
remember that the aristOcratic faction
which opposes the eniranchisement Of
the Germans and Irish Of Rhode Island
is petted and fostered by Useless S.
Grant.

The Chicago Times gays: Most people
who have been burned out in Chicago
are not worth very much, but those who
have not been burned out at all, are abb
solutely of no account, and are very
properly regarded With disdain." This
is the compliment Chicago paper pays
its patrons. And so, the millions that
have been sent to Chicago have been
given to people who are not worth much,
and are Of no account.

The Herald learns from an eye wit
ness that the Western fires have been
greatly exaggerated, and that they have
not been so extensive and destructive as
to disturb the general prosperity of the
country. The proelamations, however,
of the Governors of Michigan and Wis
eonsin establish the fact that, while hun
dreds Of lives have been lost by these
fires, thousands of people, including
many helpless women and children, are
left homeless and destitute, and in need,
not so much of relief for their imme-
date wants, as for their necessities for
the long winter that is just before them.
