Rhode Island aud its Laws Gov
eFning Voters.

The astonishing laws governing the
voters Of Rhode Island grow more
astonishing, although there are very
few people who go to the trouble Of
knowing them. The Supreme Court
OF Rhode Island has Just decided that
free holders in the city Of Providence
can vote for city officers without hay
ing paid taxes. In Rhode Island.
then, voters are to be divided into
natives and foreign-born citizens. The
latter are disfrsnchised unle.s they
own real property. The natives
are divided into freeholders and
mere registry voters. The latter are
d%istranchised until they pay their
taxes, the former can always vote.
But no man can vote for an expendi.
ture OF money until he owns property
assessed to be worth at least sl3i, with
this difference, that a freehold conferr
always and ip 50 faeto the right TO vote.
One can Imagine the confusion of a
town meeting, say in Pawtucket, when
oltiEens are called upon to announce
their preferences as TO town govern
ment. The matter becomes simpler on
the theory that in Rhode Island it "a
not citizenship or manhood, but reaI
property aud birth which confers the
right to vote.
