THE DYING HENDRICKS.
dayton Journal.l

dayton Journal.l
There is quiet laugh at the expense
of big doctors in indianapolis. Ex-
Senator Hendricks was recently re-
gangrenous symptoms, certain, the great
doctors of indianapolis and Louisville
said, to carry him to n speedy death.
The Senator prepared for his fate calm
ly, and resignedly for the grim mes
senger. But he did not proceed to die.
The day to which tho scientific doctors
limited his life, blunt old Democratic
friend, who was u country practitioner,
came to pay his distinguished friend a
farewell visit. Hc looked at tho erysi-
Pelas of the dying statesman, and sud
IDENTIFY said, with an expressive grunt
"N othing but a bile, by CD" The
next day the statesman was at tho
polls, voting the Democratic ticket.
Tho distinguished scientific physi-
clans arc very quiet OH tho subject.
We have the documents for this story.
Tho Bedouins, like Newton's dog
Diamond, little knew what treas ures
they were destroying in the bravo
heart and brilliant intellect Of Prof.
Palmer. He was tho life and soul OF
the learned societies ho frcquented.
He had studied tho philosophy of
everything under tho sun, from tho
Oriental languages to tho game of mar
bles, in which he was an expert. IIe
knew the pattcr and the lore OF tho
Itomapy Chal. IIe could perform
every ono of the tricks by which the
gyspies managed to obtain tho reputa-
ton OF superior knowledge in tho
magic art. lie knew all tho Arab dia-
lccts spoken by the natives of tho de-
scrt, and had made himself most OBJ
noxious to the Spiritists by performing
ut once all tho wonderful tricks and
marvellous deceptions by which they
maintained for so long time an inilu-
cncc in London. IIe used jocosely to
declare no must have been a fairy child

offspring Of ordinary parents in mod

wiry in his frame, and yet slippery as

LITTLE RNODY AND FREE SUFFRAGE.
ICincinnati Timcs-Star.1


AT the late election in Rhode Island
the proposition to so amend the Con-
stitution that the Legislature might of
its own motion call constitutional
convention was defeated. The proposed
amendment was brought before the
people for the direct purpose of testing
the question whether Or not Il cOnstitu-
tional convention should be CALLED to
enlarge the suffrage. a three-fifths
vote was required to carry the amend
ment, but it did not receive even a
majority. Party lines were not drawn
on this issue. Several Democratic
towns gave majorities against the
amendment. The conclusion is, there
fore, that the voting population in
general is satisfied with those contitu-
tional provisions which restrict the
elective franchise. Rhode Island is a
stronghold of conservatism.
Under the constitution as it now
stands and as it will remain for a very
long period, probably, voters must be
male citizens of the United States,
twenty-one years old and upward.
Naturalized citizens must also be pos
sessed Of a freehold Of $13l or renting
for - per annum, and have resided one
year in the State and six months in the
town or city in which they offer to
vote. Native-born citizens may vote
upon the same qualifications they may
also vote without the property qualifi-
cation if they have resided two years
in the State and six months in the town
or city, have been registered on or be-
forc the last day of December preceding
the election, and have within year
paid taxes amounting to 81 or served
at least one day in the militia. But no
person can vote "upon any proposition
to impose tax, or for the expenditure
of money in any town or city, unless
he shall, within the year next pre-
ceding, have paid q tax assessed upon
his property therein, valued at least at
S134.'
Efforts have been made, time and
again, to show that some of these re-
strictions are unjust and un-American,
but, wisely or unwiscly, Little Ithody,
has persistently refused to disturb the
ancient fundamental law of the State.
1t is believed that if the Legislature
possessed absolute power to enlarge the
suffrage, the people would not object,
and it would be done. Amending the
constitution is regarded as very diffe-
rent matter. Whatever may be thought
Of the existing restrictions, certainly
there is something admirable in the
profound respect entertained by tho
Gunfiints for the musty parchment on
which their governmental system is
based.
