Reform in Rhode Island.
New York Commercial Advertiser

Last April the then enfranchised cit
izens of Rhode Island voted on pro-
posed amendment to the constitution of
that State, the object of which was to
do away with the property qualifica-
tions which, until now, has disfranchis-
ed many thousands of residents other
wise perfectly qualified for citizenship.
This feature of Reode Islands organic
law has been always reprOach to the
State, an absurdity and great injus-
tice. Alone among the States, it con-
ditioned the right to vote on the fact of
mans possessing certain amount of
property; and by this means large
number of worthy poor men, who
would be allowed to vote as matter of
course in any other State, have been de-
prived of any voice whatever in the ad-
ministration of local or national affairs.
The vote last April, on the question
of remedying this evil, was counted Of
ficially yesterday and was found to have
resulted in victory for reform, though
by narrow margin. The amendment,
which enfranchises every male citizen
of the age of q years who has had his
residence and home in Rhode Island
for two years, and in the town or city
in which he may offer to vote for six
months next preceding the time of vot-
ing. and which abolishes the property
qualifications for voting for general of
ficers, received 20,098 affirmative and
12,l93 negative votes, which is I'll more
than the requisite three-fifths of the to-
tai vote. The amendment, therefore,
is adopted.

A Dangerous Cat.

The following cat story comes from
Trimble, Athens county, andis vouched
for:
About ten o'clock at night, when
Mrs. 0. J. Savers went up stairs to re-
tire, she passed through the room oc-
cupied by her little boys. She noticed
that George, a boy of nine years, had
his eyes set as If he was dead, or nearly
so, and becoming alarmed attempted to
awaken him. He paid no attention to
her. She then threw back the covering
and found an old cat stretched fiat on
the child's bosom, its mouth at the
child's chin and the fore paws on each
side of his neck, it's hind legs and tail
stretched straight back. The cats eyes
burned like coles of fire, and it clung so
tiercely to its position that it took near
ly all of Mrs. Sayers' strength to tear
the animal away. After throwing the
cat out Of the window she raised her
boy up, and it seemed she says. as if he
never could get his breath. When he
came to again he said, ooh, mother" I
had such a terrible dream" He was
very restless the remainder of the night
and is not entirely we'll yet. On being
questioned he says he doesn't know how
or when the cat got into his bed. The cat
has always been great pet with chill
dren and was supposed to be perfectly
harmless. The above is a true cat tory,
the particulars being obtained from
Mrs. Sayers and given almost in her
own words.

Says DR.. Arnold: II meet with O
great many persons in the course of q
year. and with many whom I admire
and like; but what I feel daily more
and more to need, as life every year ris-
es more and more before me in it's true
reality. is to have intercourse with
those who take life in earnest. 1t is very
painful to me to be always on the sur
face of things; and I feel that literature,
science, politics, many tonics that are
of far greater interest than mere gossip
or talking about the weather, are yet,
as they are generally talked about, still
upon the surface-they do not touch the
real depth of life. 1t is not that 1 want
much Of what is called religious CONVEX
sation-=that believe is often on the
surface like other conversation-but I
want sign which one catches as by q
sort of masonry, that man knows
what he is about in life, whether tend
ing, in what cause engaged; and when
/ find this, it seems to open my heart as
thoroughly, and with as fresh a sympa-
thy, as when I was twenty years young

Naturally there is great deal Of
speculation concerning the sort of life Presi.
dent Cleveland will lead when he shall have
retired from his present high position. OF
course his plans may not yet have been de.
veloped but such items as this that follows
are none the less interesting. 1t is from a
Washington special in the World. Mr.. Cleve-
land is still in the very prime of life. He
will leave the White House at least 1000
richer than when he entered it. This, added
to his other investments ought to give him a
comfortable fortune of upward of 100000.
Moreover, Mrs. Cleveland, through the divis-
Ion of the Folsom estate in Omana, is an
heiress in her own right, and is probably
worth not less than $5OO,000. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland would prefer few years of
foreign travel as a pleasant rounding off of
their White House experience before settling
down to the quiet of every day life, and for
!his reason the European trip is regarded as
amongst the strong probabilities.

THE NORTHWEST
The New States.

1t seems to be conceded on all sides that
one of the first things done by the Republi-
cans when they obtain possession of the
Government will be to pass an act admitting
several of the Territories as States of the
Union. There is no question as to the justice
and propriety of taking Dakota into the
sisterhood of States, though there is some
dispute as to whether the Territory should be
divided and admitted as two States. There
are seven other organized Territories-Ari-
zona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. The Indian
Territory is not organized, and Alaska is
only partially so.
According to the census of 1880, only Idaho,
Montana and Washington, in addition to
Dakota are eligible for admission, SO far
as regards their population and general
social and progressive condition. The pres
ent population Of Dakota is not less than
100000, that of Idaho about $4,000, Montana
has fully $4,000, and Washington more than
10000. Wyoming has prosperous and pro-
gressive population and great wealth, but
there are not more than $4,000 people in the
Territory, and it is not proposed as yet to add
her name to the roll of States. Utah, of
course, is out of the question, and New
Mexico, with large majority of "greasers"
within her borders who neither speak our
language or practice our habits of life, will
hardly be thought of just yet as State.
The political importance to the Republi-
can party of the movement to admit Idaho,
Montana and Washington, and to divide Da-
kota into two States, can readily be appreci
ated. Their entrance into the Union would
add ten United States Senators to the Repub-
lican majority in the upper chamber of Con-
gress and probably dozen members of the
House of Representatives of the same politi-
cal complexion. Besides this there wonld be
the electoral votes of these new States, upon
which the Republicans believe they could
confidently depend in the next contest for
the Presidency.

OIL As FUEL.
Its General Use in Ohio aud the Saw
inga Against Coal.


special dispatch to the 81. Louis Globe
Democrat from Cleveland says that an edi-
torial in q recent issue of Cincinnati paper
urges the manufacturers of Cincinnati to
consider the question of using crude petro-
leum as fuel. Investigation shows that Gin
cinnati Is behind many other cities in the
use of the liquid fuel, which is found in such
abundance in Ohio and within such easy
access of that city. Cleveland manufactur-
ers use the Ohio oil extensively as fuel, and
are even experimenting with good results in
the direction of converting it into gas for
fuel purposes. Chicago is using 10000 bar
rels day of the new fuel. Even the town of
Hamilton, o., has made more progress in
this direction than Cincinnati.
A gentlemen just returned from Hamilton
says the number of oil cars he saw on the
sidings led him to make some Investigations.
He found large flour mill which is running
three 100-horse power boilers with Ohio oil as
fuel. These boilers required nine tons of
coal for 24-hour run, at 81 ton, making $1S
day. The same boilers are run with % bar
rels of oil, costing so cents barrel at Hamil-
ton, total of $i4. Two stokers and coal
shovelers were dispensed with, making saw
ing of So day for labor. The saving in shov-
els, wheelbarrows, CRATE bars, etc., for this
establishment is estimated by the proprietors
at 50 day, making the total expense of oil
$14, against 1923 for coal. The oil is said to
furnish one-third more power than the coal,
with less wear and tear on the boilers. At
other factories in Hamilton, boilers are run
with gas made from Ohio oil. Nearly every
town of any consequence in Ohio uses more
or less Ohio oil as fuel.
In Harrisburg, Pa, a firm that has con-
tract with the government for furnishing
steel for steel-clad ships uses gas from Ohio
oil for melting steel billets. This firm states
that they are able to melt a ton of steel bill
lets from gas made from three gallons of oil,
and regard it as one of the most important
discoveries of the age for the manufacture of
steel. There are 80 of these gas plants now
in operation, and one is now being erected at
Johnston, Pa. Business men who are watch
ing the progress of liquid fuel believe that
within year 10000 barrels day will be
used for this purpose.

Springer Still in Favor of Making
Four New States.

Representative Springer has reached
Washington. Speaking with a report
er about the outlook, he said that he
was not satisfied which party would
have control of the next house, but that
it appeared that the majority would be
too small to be of any good to either
party. He said it was not likely that
much would be done this session. In
his opinion, it was mistake on the
part of the democrats not to- pass enab-
ling acts last winter for the admission
of new states into the Union. He is go
ing to make an effort for the admission
of four new states, and hopes to secure
the passage of the bill for that purpose
this winter. He does not expect any
tariff legislation this winter, he says,
and very much doubts the ability of the
republicans to revise the tariff at any
time. eff" he said, 1--WE should send
25 democrats home and give the repub-
licans majority in both houses, they
would not be able to pass their tariff bill.
They cannot agree"

YOUNG MRS. BLAINE.
Some Gossip About the Treatment She
Has Received From her Moth
er-inLaw.
philadelphia Tlmes.l

The flct that young Mrs. Blaine's
husband was not near her when his
beautiful young wife brought another
baby into the world this week; that no
message was received from nor inquiry
made by him during an illness which
threatened fatal termination, and
Walker Blaine's published intimatiOn
that even her daughter-in-law's death
would in no way concern his mother,
have aroused strong feeling of min
gled sympathy and indignation among
the women of New York. From what
/ saw when the Blaines returned from
Europe | am not surprised at this sad
outcome of the affair. For three days
young Mrs. Blaine was on the recep-
ton boat.
She is n beautiful, stylish-loOking
Young woman and conducted herself
with striking modesty of demeanOr.
When James @. Blaine climed from the
City of New York to the Laura M.
Starin he greeted his pretty daughter
in-aw effusively. but his wife met her
with freezing silence. Later when the
ladies were seated together on the up
per deck of the boat, the crowd below
in the bow gave "three cheers for Mrs.
James G. Blaine" and then with even
louder acclaim, "three cheers for Mrs.
James G. Blaine, jun" But they neg
lected to shout welcome to the two
Blaine girls who sat in the party and
are as homely as mud and adorned
with the big swelling nose, which is the
most prominent facial feature of their
distinguished father, and which all his
children have inherited. When Mrs.
Blaine heard the cheers given for her
sons wife she deliberately and in a
manner which attracted comment,
turned her back upon the charming
young woman who sat next to her.
"Well, what's all this trouble about?'
This is easy to answer and yet it is
difficult to understand. Although no
one has ever accredited Mrs. Blaine
with high lineage; she had ambitious
designs for the future of her son, who
will carry his fether's name down to
posterity, and she believed these were
destroyed when the boy ran away with
Miss Nevins: Not a word was said
against the girl, but she was what Mrs.
Blaine. with a strange forgetfulness of
her early life, terms "pauper relatives" I"
But what about young BlaiLe? Truth
compels me to say that those who were
well acquainted with him during his
life here unhesitatingly speak of him as
no earthly account, and even apply to
him the harsh epithet of "dead beat"
1t is certain that Miss Nevins made q
bad bargain when she gave him her
hand, and all agree that the girl is en-
tirely too good for her husband. That
conclusion has certainly been justified
by the poltroonery he has exhibited in
permitting his mother to lock him in
his room and by his remaining away
from the young girl while she was suf-
fering the pangs of motherhood.
Whether a suit at law will grow out
of the matter is still problematical.

Conspiracy Must Go.

The cowardly assault of a band of
fifty masked outlaws in southern Ohio,
who took q man from his bed and al
most beat him to death, calls for the
prompt action of every patriotic citizen.
1t matters not who the man or what
his oftense, he is citizen of Ohio and
entitled to the protection of the law.
Neither national, state nor municipal
government can long survive conspiracy
against the legal rights ofcitizens. The
time has come for every good citizen
who believes in a constitutional govern
ment to take stand. Conspiracy is
ever the resort of dangerous and un-
scrupulous men. Whenever conspirators
show their horny head they should be
dealt with speedily and decisively. We
trust that every decent, loyal Ohioan
will stand up and demand that the hon
or and dignity of the state be MAIN
tanned, and that this be the last act
of conspiracy and mob violance that
shall disgrace Ohio's fair name.-Tole-

Shorten The Campaigns.

More bitterly than ever before have
merchants and manufacturers through
out the country complained of the de-
pressing effects upon business of Pres
idential campaign and more clamorous
are they than ever for some kind of
change that shall relieve them from a
repetition of these quadrennial hard
ships. The election of President but
once in six or eight years has been sug-
gested as way to diminish the difficult
ties under which business men claim to
labor. A better way still is urged by
the Chicago Herald, which paper
claims that the trouble does not so
much lie in the frequency of the cam
paigns as in their tedious length. ut
was all right" remarks the Herald, "to
have long campaigns when there was
no means of rapid transit, when the
electric telegraph was unknown"
Time was necessary then to reach the
interior settlements. Now with all the
modern appliances of telegraph, of rail-
roads and daily newspapers at hand,
more can be accomplished in a day
than could be accomplished in months
during Old Hickory's time. The last
Presidential campaign was spread over
nearly a twelve-month. The first half
year was spent in getting ready for the
conventions of st. Louis and Chicago,
and the other six months in discussing
their issues. The whole business could
have been accomplished between the
middle of September and the first
Tuesday after the first Monday of the
current month. 1t would be we'll if the
business of waging an intellectual
campaign" were constant and if that of
gathering IN votes for favorite candi-
date for the Presidency were reduced to
what can be transacted in few days.
