port:

the fund contributed for the reliefofthe sui

ted the Concmaugh valley, be as speedily as

that all purchases, contracts, and all exPen-
ses TO be paid out OF this fund Immediately

There is, politically speaking, good
deal about Rhode Island that is pic
ayunish and Pecksniffian. The late

be regulated by law,

Drink can be had whenever wanted
for the asking.
1t was proposed to re-submit the
question TO the people. Out of this
sprang up an anomalous condition of
things. Four parties took the field in
the late election. The republican
and the democratic parties were the
principal ones. The prohibition party
trotted out of course. Then there was
a fourth gang calling themselves the
enforcement of law party A hum
bug Of course.
The democrats won by a plurality,
but lost the governOr-ship for want
of majority. Besides, several Iegis-
lative seats were not filed because of
the same cranky requirement of a ma
jority vote for some one candidate.
The state in consequence is put to the
additional expense of holding by cleo

first made public his ideas concerning
the disposition to be made of Fort
Riley, number of years ago, in con-
versation with the editor of the Cham
pion, who had called to see him, in
company with Adjutant General
Drum, to discuss proposed abandon

this plan, General Sheridan stated, at
some length, what his own ideas were
concerning the reserve, and what he
wished to do with it if he could get the
consent of congress. A year or two
later, he succeeded. and several
years before. his death. the work he
contemplated was commenced. 1t has
