The URl0a admits that the republican
party in Rock Island county is in sad
state of decentralization, that something
must be done, if the party expects to hold
its own in the future But the Union in
bemoaning the loss of the sheriff and
treasurer at the election last fall, seeks to
throw the blame for defeat then upon the
unfortunate third party-prohibitio The
prohibition element in Rock Island county
did not vote solidly in the last county
campaign, but the whisky suppression
vote. as the Union terms it, was quite lib
orally distributed. So there is no parties

county, the Union to the contrary not
withstanding.

PROHIBITION.
Why the Law is Not Enforced in Rhode
Island

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Jan. 1S.-The reason
why prohibition is not enforced in Rhode
Island was given as follows by Gov. Davis
in his message to the opening assembly to-
day:
1.-The chief of state police has been dill
gent in his office, and the law he was es-
pecially appointed to administer has been
enforced as far as punitive influence with
in his control can affect IT. That the law
is not more efficient, ard it is sadly in
efficient. is for want of a sufficient public
sentiment to support it. 1t is a thankless
task to attempt TO enforce law which has
not the hearty support Of the community
to sustain it. Laws may represent
public opinion, but their en-
wholly upon the public will, as contradis-
tinguished from public opinion, and with
out a win the way will not be found. The
prolibitory law, so called, is written upon
our constitution and statutes, and self
respect as well as the obligations of our
Office demand that we do what we can to
accomplish its purpose. The courts at
present taking action in the premises al
ready brought that the delays to final
action defeat the purposes of the prosecu-
ton. / would respectfully suggest that
the number of district courts might adj
vantageously be increased and the state re-
districted, making the districts coincide
more nearly with town and city bounds
without largely increased expenses, and
the courts given a broader and more con-
elusive jurisdiction

FEMALE RAILROAD PRESIDENT.

DOVER, n. H., Jan. 1S.-Mrs. Mary Z. g.
H. Dow enjoys the distinction of being the
only female president of railroad in the
world. She is the wife of Dr. Henry Dow,
of Dover, and worth nearly 5000 900 in her
own right. Like her husband, she is a
straight out Democrat in politics, and
believes that to the victors belong the
spols. In principle she is emphat-
ically woman's rights, and last November
was the first woman in the city to de-
mand recognition at the polls Fail
ing in this, She determined that her sex's
ability should be demonstrated to the
public at large, and at once set about
through agents to buy up stock of the
Dover Horse railway, owning several miles
of track and valuable property She
was successful in securing a majority of
the shares, and created great surprise
yesterday by walking into the annual
meeting of the company and voting her
stock herself. The result was that the old
officials were ousted, and she reorganized
the company by electing herself president,
with her husband rs treasurer. She an
nounces immediate improvements, such
AS new cars and extension of track.

ROBBED A MINE.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 1S.-As Oliver Graf
ton. prominent mining man of Brecken-
ridge, stepped from the South Park train
at the union depot this morning, he was
very much surprised to find.officers await
ing him with warrant for his arrest,
being charged by Colonel Ware of Brock
enridge with Stealing gold nuggets from
the Victoria mining company of that
place, and secreting them until he could
dispose of them with safety.
Grafton had been suspected of these
thefts for a long time and had been closely
watched until yesterday when it was ascer-
tanned that he would pass through the
city on his way to Canada. His effects
were seized and searched and in his trunks
were found $4,000 in mint certificates, the
proceeds of his latest populations. The
sums of his robberieS it is stated will
amount up into the hundreds of thousands
as they have been continued over consid-
cradle period Most of the money it is
said has been invested in real estate some
where in Canada.
Grafton was placed in the county Jail
pending his trial, which will probably
come up soon. His wife. who is with him,
is not over 16, and but recently married to
Grafton
In All interview this afternoon the pris-
oner said the whole matter was case of
malicious persecution, resulting from some
trouble he had had with Colonel Ware
last summer. The property in question
was what was known as the Grafton pla-
Ger claim, and until some time last sum
mer he and Colonel Ware had
each a half interest in it. The
colonel and himself could not agree
as the management Of the mine. and the
colonel sued him in the court of Summit
country. After the case was settled he
sold his half interest to Colonel Ware and
had since had nothing to do with the prop
erty. He said he started yesterday from
Breckenridge to go east with his wife to
spend the remainder of the winter and
that his arrest was a total surprise to him,
as he never suspected that Colonel Ware
was contemplating a move of the kind.
Grafton is a pleasant, intelligent looking
young man of good address and has not at
