RHODE ISLANDS REPUBLICANTSM

The events Of the last few hours have heart
lessly falsified the predictions and deductions
Of some Of the so-caed Independent news
papers regarding the political situation in Rhode
Island. 1t was only few days ago that the
election Of one of the candidates for Mr.. Chaces
seat in the Senate was pronounced CERTAIN be-
cause his doodle" would hereafter be alb
soutely necessary to carry the stated Su@-
peStion which. we have no doubt, did the dis
tiueuished gentleman named as much injustice
rs the sequel shows it did the Republican ma
jority # the Legislature; for the contest was
decided Yesterday against him, and in favor OF
Nathan f. Dixon. Mr.. Dixon is young man
of high character and excellent ability, and
comes of line of statesmen. lie Will undouDt-
cdly worhily fill the seat which his grand
father held in his day.
The results Of the supplementary elections
for members of the Legislature show that the
situation Of the Republicans is much better
than it was at first represented to be by It's too
eager assailants. The Republicans had to con-
tend with all the perplexities and croSs-pur-
poses of the Prohibition question. creating d.
vision in their own ranks, and drawing por-
ton Of their strength aside to other organza-
tions. There were two temperance tickets IN
the field, the Prohibitionists casting l'3ll
votes, and the Law Enforcement party 3433
mostly. no doubt, Republican votes. Then
there were the new voters, whose number was
estimated as high as 5000, and many OF whom
were expected to 60 to the Democrats Tho
only State officer securing majority. and there
fore I'M election on the popular vote, was the
Democratic candidate for Atomey-GeneraI
But the completed elections for the Legislature
give the Republicans a clear majority on joint
ballot Of eleven, enabling them to elect the
Governor and other state officers. besides dis
trict iudgeS. In National campaign with the
Prohibition amendment disposed Of one way
or another and upon full yote-for this vote
showed large proportion Of Stay-at-homeS-
the State will probably be safely Republican,
even with the addition OF the new voters.

TIE FIRST L0RD,S SUCCESSoR.

An outbreak Of rancOrouS jealousy in the
Tory camp is likely 10 follow Mr.. Smith eleva-
tiUm to the peerage. The position Of leader of
the House of Commons is one Of vast reSpOn-
sibility, and the vacancy caused by the retire
ment Of the First Lord Of the Treasury cannot
be filled without heartburnng, resentment
and strife. BY reason of political capacity
and authority Lord Randolph Churchill is
entitled to the succession to the leadership.
and the Government would be strength
ened by his restoration to power; but
Lord Salisbury has not forgiven him for re-
signing Office and frequently attacking the
Government. and powerful faction Of the
party would resent his promotion. Mr.. GoSchcn
possesses The debating ability requisite for the
position but he has changed sides on political
questions too recently to be accented by the
Tories as their political leader. Sir Michael
Hicks Beach lacks the physical resources for
the arduous responsibilities Of party leadership.
Mr. Balfour after Lord Randolph Churchill is
the strongest candidate for the vacancy, and
can Justly be said to have earned promotion.
He will probably take Mr.. Smiths place He
is in every respect well equipped for the leader
ship, but his triumph will excite the wrath Of
Lord Randolph Churchill and enkinde fac
tional enmties.
Lord Salisbury has one alternative for the
promotion Of the Irish Secretary which he has
undoubtedly considered seriously. That is IA
reorganization OF the Cabinet on a UnonSt
basis. The Birmingham contest has disclosed
the weakness and instability of the alliance be-
tween the Liberal UnionstS and the COnserva-
tiveS. The Prime Minister may regard the
time as prOpitious for OvertureS for closer and
organic union between the allied parties. If
Lord Harrington could be induced to enter the
Cabinet and to lead the Commons. the next
general elections would witness the complete
absorption of the third party as a constituent
element Of n new UniOnist Conservative party
Ilalassing feuds like that Of birmingham would
be avoided ard the Government would be
greatly invgorated by the permanent support
and political influence of large body Of dis
senting Liberals. The necessity for the union
of the allied parties is becoming more apparent
as the difficulties Of arranging successors for
Liberal Unonsts like Mr.. Bright are multi
piled. If Lord Harrington were not inscnsibIe
| 10 appeals to personal ambition, he might be
| expected to entertain such proposals favoraby
Were he 10 enter the Cabinet and become the
| Government leader Of the Commons, he would
be Lord Salsburys heir to the Premiership.
Enlightened elf-interest would require him to
take advantage Of offers for promoting the
ANAL gamton OF the two sections Of the Union

| would be so strongly disinclined to consider his

regard to the missing books that almost any
body connected with the bureau could have
carried them off. As no trace of the books has
been found, it seems likely that the sum total
of the losses sustained by the city will never

the present inquiry is the need of frequently
overhauling all branches of the city government

The railway accident near Joliet Ill.,, was
one of those ineXcuSable occurrences that from
time to time shock the public and warn them
of the insecurity of railway travel even under
the most favorable circumstances. To call
such mshaps "accidents' is to use language
loosely. The passenger train was exactly on
time and, of course, had clear right Of way,
when it was run into by freight train that
had no business in that neighborhOOd at that
time The only excuse given is that it was
foggy; which is no excuse at all. Some one
must have disobeyed orders, and whoever he
is should be held to strict accountability.
