The Republicans are quite jubilant
over having retained their hold on the
little State of Rhode Island. The rot
ten borough system which prevails
there places the power in the hands of
the rich nabobs to elect whomsoever
they please. and places the honest poor
men Of the State entirely at their
mercy. Rhode Island is the only State
In the Union that excludes men from
suffrage unless they own real estate.
No naturalized citizen can vote unless
he owns real estate, and no native
American can vote unless he owns real
estate or pays taxes. It is fitting that
the psrty that is constantly hypocritic-
ally boasting of being in favor of a
free and fair ballot and fair COUNT
and that agonizes over the intimida-
ton of the negroes in the South, should
jubilate over Republican victory in
Rhode Island.

KELLOGG I'm A RAGR.
He Threatens 10 Make Rich ne.
VeIWpMemts.

WAsHINGToN, A April 5-Among the
callers upon the President was ex Sen
atOr and Representative William Pitt
Kellogg, of Louisiana He called to
see about those star route indictments.
1t is said that he sat very nea.. the
President while he was talking, and
spoke soto vOce. His mann er was ear
nest and his language vigorous. Kel.
lOgg is angry, very angry, and de.
mands that there be no Indictment re
turned against him. Brewster, the
Attorney General, has stated to Kel-
logg and one or two of his friends that
he was sorry that the action has been
taken at all, and that he " ill stop it
1t is said that Brewster attempted to
pacify Kellogg by promising to dismiss
the case as soon as the present star
route cases were out of the way, but
Kellogg il quoted as assaying: "William
Pitt Kellogg saved the Republican
party in 1876 and he'll be damned if he
will permit his reputation to be defam-
ed by the finding of an indictment" !"
and he left Brewster and turned to the
President. He argued to Arthur that
he is ruined in Louisiana if an indict-
ment is found against him and threat
ems the party If the matter is not slain
in embryo. He wants the whole pro.
ceeding checked in its incipiency. He
demands that there be no Indictment
returned, and it was for the purpose of
again delivering his " riot act" that he
saw the President today. A friend of
Kellogg said today that he was amazed
that Arthus and Chandler, knowing
what they do about Kellogg's connec-
ton with the political affairs in Louis
lana in 1876, and the daring work he
did for Hayes, would suffer him to be
indicted for any offense. 1t Is the gen.
eral belief here that Kellogg will never
be brought to trial, and more than
likely will escape Indictment.
