A RICH AND RaCY RSNCogNrEa IN
RHODE ISLAND,

Tie political situation in little Rhode
Island is sufficiently novel to attract
the attention of the whole country.
II has been the aim of the Democrats
Of that State, for years past, to break
up the little ring of self-seeking poll
ticians who have kept the ballot box
closed against large class Of deserving
citizens for their own personal and par
tisan purposes.
The arbitrary conduct of the ring had
disguised q large section of their own
party, the Republican, and they re-
belled. Here WAS chancellor the DEM
ocrats to bring about the reform desired,
and they endorsed the nomination Of
ex-senator SPRAGUE as means of
uniting all the detected elements.
Now q moss-grown lot Of antediluvi-
ans, calling themselves Democrats, have
bOlted from the action of the regular
convention and propose to nominate a
straight ticket in opposition to the
SPRAGUE menagerie. This is nothing
more than "pure cussedness" on the
part of the obstinates as its only effect
can be to assist the old Republican ring
to perpetuate its reign.
Not content to fuse with the indie
pendents, and having good cause to de-
test the present Republican ring, the
Temperance party will also put a
straight ticket in the field, believing
that there are great many Repuoli-
cans, who would not vote for the ma.
chine candidate under any circum-
stances, and who might therefore be in
duced to vote for SPRAGUE, will now
have an entirely satisfactory reason for
ignoring both dire alternatives by vot-
ing for Temperance man.
Thus by the time the election is held,
on the 18th of next month, there will
probably be four tickets in the field,
viz: the Sprague alliance composed Of
boiling Republicans and Democrats;
the anti-Sprague alliance composed Of
moss back Democrats; the ring Repub-
lican ticket; and the Temperance
ticket.
The result will probably be that there
will be no election by the people, the
Legislature will have to elect the State
officers, and in this event the Temper
ance party hopes to force the machine
Republicans to select temperance and
nOn-machine men.
AS sample Off large-sized political
muddle this is big enough for State OF
the dimensions of Rhode Island.

THIS Much SETTLED.

The most important matter in con-
nection with the meeting of the next
Congress is settled this far in advance
of the session, and that is this: that
further reductions of the revenue must
he made from considerati ions wholly in
dependent of the question of tariff for
revenue or protection.
a Democratic Congress may not
touch the tariff, but it will cut down
and cut out the unnecessary surplus
revenue.
Ii is already demonstrated that there
will be a glut in the treasury from the
exec ssive rates oftaxation. Legitimate
business is seriously threatened by this
excessive accumulation of revenue in
the treasury vaults, and there is no
mode of relief except in payments on
account Of the public debt-that is,
since the appropriating Congress has
vacated the capitol. Thus the money
market is subjected to fluctuations be-
tween scarcity and extreme redun-
dancy.
The inadequacy of the reduction made
by the last Congress, brought about by
a disposition to retain the horde ofinter-
nal revenue officers, is alresdy made
apparent. From the estimate Ofthe In
ternal Revenue Bureau the total re-
Ceipts from internal taxes for the year
ending June so, 1888, will be Sl+3, 625,-
coo, making a net decrease of five mil
lion dollars in three months under the
operation of the new law. At this rate
the abatement of internal revenue for
the next fiscal year will be about TWEEN
ty million dollars, instead of the forty
million dollars claimed by the promot-
crs of the act. Allowance, however,
must be made for an increase of reve-
nue. from the remaining subjects Of in
ternal taxation, and the abatement will
not amount to twenty million dollars
annually.
Concerning the effect of the new act
uron revenues from customs no esti-
mates have been made: but it is not
believed in official quarters that it will
cause any substantial reduction of the
Treasury surplus.
II is well known that the recommen-
dations Of both the President and Sec
rotary of the Treasury in regard to the
extent that reductions might be made,
were disregarded by Congress. The re-
suit is a glut in the finances before Con-
gress has been out of the Capitol thirty
days.
BY the first OF December the situation
will remain substantially unchanged.
There will be an enormous surplus in
the Treasury, and the necessity of ablt-
ing il by reducing duties that are an ex-
cessive burden to consumers and an OBJ
struction to trade will remain as i'm
perative as it was when the last mess
age of President Arthur was delivered.
The country may, therefore, reasonably
anticipate renewal of the recommen-
dations Of the last Presidential message
and Treasury report for revenue redue-
tons, though there should be a change
Of the head Of the financial depart
ment. With the majority in the next
Congress and the Administration in en-
tire harmony, the pathway to the salts
factory adjustment Of taxation aud
revenue ought to be easy and smooth.

Paper sometimes Chief Item Of
Expense.

Mr.. Charles s. Smith, the editor OF the
Philadelphia Press, undertook the other
day to tell the students of Lafayette
College how to make a newspaper. Mr
Smith knows how to make a very good
newspaper, and we are not surprised to
find that his address at Lafayette Col
lege was modest, sensible, AMI general
ly sound. Yet one of his remarks was
exceedingly unphilosophical "White
paper used to he by far the largest item
in the cost of a newspaper now, wing
to the great reduction in price and the
increased demands in other directions, 1t
is comparativelysmall part of the pro-
duction.'
That depends altogether upon how
much white paper a newspaper uses. IN
the business of a journal with a circula-
tion of five hundred, or five thousand,
or twenty thousand copies, the cost OF
the white paper may be a comparative
ly small part of the cost OF produc-
tion. Al the circulation increases, how
ever, the expenditure for white paper
in .reases both absolutely and relative
ly. Other expenses!may not -incrhase
much ; but every additional copy print
ed adds to the white paper account. In
the case of a newspaper printing seven,
ty-tive thousand or Il hundred thousand
copies, it may easily happen that white
paper is the chief item, no matter now
liberal the outlay for brains and elec-
tricity.

Not for Nc Don al Il.

Mr.. Frank Trissal, an Indiana law
yer, claiming to be n democrat, IN a
recent interview spoke in deprecatory
terms of the proposed Presidential can
di,lacy of ex-senator Joseph f. McDoD-
aid. He claims that the ex-senator has
never displayed any strength in Indiana
that he has been drone in the demo-
cratic party, and that he was an accl-
dontal Senator. Mr.. Trissal regards
Mr.. Hendricks as a more deserving and
popular man than Mr.. Mcdonald. But
he does not regard Mr.. Hendricks as a
possible Presidential candidate, and
thinks if the first place on the ticket Is
to fall to Indiana it should be given to
the Hon. w. f. Niplack, now one OF
The Judges # the Supreme Court of the
State. The Washington Sunday
Chronicle contains an attack on Mr..
McDonald's private character, charg-
ing him with libertinism, and referring
in an uncomplimentary manner to the
fact that he has been married three
times, the last being 10 divorced lady.
The article evidently emanates from
some person savagely hostile to the
Senator.

Tho Loci eusts Due Next Year.

The following Is from the Baltimore
Sun: The 17-ytar locust is not, as many
suppose, several years late. He is due
next year, 1884. Everybody knows the
insect which buzzes and whirrs from
the limbs of our trees. The veins in its
wings mark a w on its back, and its
note IL heard at intervals of abJnt three
minutes. This Is the common Cicada
Autumnalis. 1t is with us every year.
Its brother, the seventeen year visitor,
has the w in red vel ins on Its back, and
il lite smaller. 1t comes in great
swarms, but does no great amount OF
damage. Popular prejudice is against
the seventeen-year locust. 1t is firmly
believed by some that great mortality
prevails during its stay and that les
bite is fatal. These ideas are as errOne-
GUS as most popular chronological the
cries. The cicada septem-decim is a
queer insect The sexes only live long
enough to mate. The male dies in. a
a day or two, and the female, with a
spur which is carried beneath tue abdO-
men, punctures o small branch of q
tree with little holes. An egg is then
deposited in each hole. The mother
dies in eight or ten days, and the eggs
hatch by themselves. The Larvae fall to
the ground and commence to dig.
Eventually these embryo insects find
their way to the ut ermost roots of the
tree. There they exist for sixteen years
and few months undergoing develop
ment in the perfect locust. Their
food is the sap ofthe tree. In seventeen
years these return to the earth and pro-
duce the young, which 60 through the
same process. The locust eats nothing
when above ground, being provided
with no mouth. A species of giant
wasp, which carries a poisonous sting,
is its enemy, among other birds and
beasts. 1t stings the locust and carri es
it under ground to its nest. The belief
that the locusts sting is fatal arises
from the fact that persons sometimes
brush away locust that has fallen
from branch above and are stung by
the wasp which is clinging to its victim
unobserved. The sting of this waspis
sometimes fatal. The cicada.tre-decim
or 13 year locust are smaller specimens
of the red-veined cicada, which come be
fore the main army. Some of them ar;
with us now. The farmer might well
rejoice securely in his growing crops il
every insect " we're as harmless as the 10.
called locust, whose unique voice
through the summer woods is only a
part in the conglomeration Of lazy sum.
