The authorities Of Rhode Island have
published a volume on the state of Rhode
Island education, which is not particular
ly cheerful or encouraging, although the
report begins with an allusiOn to 'sabund-
ant evidence for congratulations and
contains the general remarks of the usual
kind, such as this: 1t is at the fireside
that the budding intellect Of every child
begins 10 unfold and expand The re-
port mentions for the whole Of Rhode
Island but y free public libraries,
with only 1874 volumes. But far
worse is the statement that out
of 5j,S32 children between the ages
Of five and fifteen, 1885 did not
attend any school at all, and that
the public schools had but 3J,055 attend.
ants. The real attendance, Of course.
must have been somewhat smaller, so that
the statement is justified that out of the
Rhode Island children who ought to attend
school less than One-half are found actual
~ in the public schools. which accord
ingIy cost the people Of the State less than
six hundred thousand dollars a year, OF
which only twO-thirds is for teachers
wages. fhe statement is all the more un-
favorable, when it is known that PrOvi-
dence does very well, while whole pOr-
tiOns of Rhode Island are i'm gross ignOr-
ance.

Indiana Getting Crowded.

something has been said about assisting
the party in a State by Cabinet appoint
ment, and such prize was thought to be
about what Ohio needed in the present
emergency. Ohio did not get it, however,
but her neighbOr, Indiana, did, and yet it
does not seem that they are entirely happy
over there even with a POstmaster-Gen-
eral. The fact Of the matter is that In
diana is becoming too close an imitatOr of
Ohio for her own peace Of mind; that is to
say, she is accumulatingan embarrassing
number Of great men.

What Takes Chandler to Florida L?

BY the way, what is the explanation CT
Mr.. Chandler's irrepressible desire to go
to Florida with the President: Not to
take rest, for he is as restless as tumble
bug. Not to shoot, for he could not in
dulge in that sport without endangering
the lives of his companions. Not to fish,
for he is too uneasy mortal to enjoy the
tranquil pleasures Of the rod and line.
Not TO perfect his plan for building the
new steel cruisers by private contract in
the yards of his friends, for neither John
Roach nor any other of the irOnclad pa
triOts build i'm that State. What, then,
drew W. f. Chandler to Florida! 1t is a
psychological truth that horrible fascina-
zion sometimes impels guilty conscience
to revisit the scene of a great crime years
after its commission.

Since the charter elections, eX-President
Hayes declines to be a candidate for the
Office Of Governor of Ohio. When Hayes
declines a nomination it is sure evidence
that the ease is desperate. But after all
il seems that the great mass Of the Re-

will not give anything to the campaign

party will steal for him. from the Presi-
