The Rhode Island legislature adopted reso-
luton to submit three amendments to the Con-
stitution to the people on the I'd Monday of
October next. The amendments abolish the
property qualification for suffrage, but re-
quire that a voter shall be able to read the
Constitution of the United States, provided,
however, that no person shall be allowed to
vote on any proposition to increase tax, or
for the expenditure of money by any town or
city, unless he shall have paid taxes year
previous on 1874 worth of property. They
also abolish the registry tax, and provide that
no sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL school or in
stitution shall receive any aid or support from
the revenues of the state, or from any special

He wants to fight on the same line in politics

show more plainly the demoralized condition
