After come discussion the Virginia Legisla-
ture did not. as 1t was prophesied 1t would do,
repeal the Moflett register law. but endeavored
60 amend II and change II 30 as to make II
more effective. The tax on drinks was slightly
reduced. and the registers required to be
placed In more conspicuous places than pre-
viously. 1t Is thought that the law as re-
modelled will prove moro effective than
hitherto If 1t does not, the Legislature pro-
poses to repeal 1t ut Its next session. The
present arrangement will, 1t is thought. in

Only 1850 votes were cast In Rhode island
at the last election. One cause Of this is the
proseriptlve character Of the State laws. NO
foreign-born citizen, who is not possessed OF
a certain amount of real estate, can vote IN
the little commonwealth. When the resttle-
ton ID removed the vote will DO nearly
doubled. There Ia no immediate prospect Of
this. AZ the enfranchisetnsnt Of this class q
citizens would turn the State over TO the
Democrats. The late election showed that
the minority were not prepared to yield the
advantage unjust laws gave them by pro-
nnuneing In favor of free suffrage
