A ROTTEN BOROUGH.
Has Rhode Island Republican Form o
Government Not?

Has Rhode Island a Republican Form OF
Government or Not?
1.-The minority majority in Rhode
Island still holds it's grip on that
State, and the candidate for Governor
who received the largest number of
votes is now about to be defeated by
the Legislature. Governor Davis re-
ceived a large plurality of the popular
vote, but in that oligarchy-ridden
commonwealth this fact is of no i'm
portance. He must have a majority,
or more than one-half of all the votes
cast, and if no candidate receives that
number, then it becomes the duty of
the Legislature, representing much
smaller minority, to elect the Gov
ernor and such other State officers as
have not received a majority vote.
Besides the fact that the State is
districted in such way as to give the
manufacturing lords complete control
of a majority of the districts, it is
necessary that each legislative can
didate should be elected by a majority
vote of his district, and in case no
candidate in any district receives a
majority, then the incumbents whose
terms were about to expire hold over
and continue as legislators until the
next election.
One can easily see how, under such
circumstances. the whole law-making
power can be held in the grip of
few wealthy and INSCRIPTIONS men.

opinions that the mass of the people

with Western ideas of popular free
dom. But the Rhode Islanders do not
seem to know how to get rid of their
devil fish, and so continue under the
rule of 1.-The machine"
1t looks as if Congress would have
to take hand in the matter sooner or
later, and investigate the question
whether the State of Rhode Island has

not. The minority, and not the ma

Young and sentimental girls often
have an idea there is something
peculiarly romantic and attractive at
taching to them when fainting. Never
was there a greater mistake. Could
they once see themselves, pallid and
pinched and gasping, they would never
wish any one for whose admiration
they cared to have that same privilege.
A susceptibility to fainting can be en-
couraged, like one to hysteria; but

Simple Measures That Will Generally

Women faint much more frequently

even strong men now and then sue

where there is disease of the heart,
occasioning the phenomena of faint
ing, it has no respect of age or sex or
person. In cases of what is known as
fatty degeneration of tho heart, or as
a result of profuse hemorrhage, faint
ing becomes invested with great dan
ger, and the event may even be fatal,
the subject never coming out of the
state of syncope. But in most in
stances fainting is merely functional
affair, implying nothing serious be-
yond the moment; in fact being more
of relief than otherwise, and more
injurious-by means of the fright it
gives them-to others than it is to the
patient.
The act of fainting may be said
to be usually of nervous origin
horror, fear, joy, the sight of
blood or of any thing revolving, the re-
ceipt of nauseating odors, experience
of foul air, Or sudden shocks, all serv-
ing to produce loss of sensibility; or it
may be occasioned by trouble of the
stomach, by extremes of heat or cold,
and by long and excessive pain. OF
course there are various degrees of
fainting, some people merely seeing
the world turn back and vanish while
retaining consciousness, and others
losing themselves completely, and
being to all visible intent and purpose
as dead as they ever will be. In some
the heart will beat perceptibly, if
slightly, and the breath will be present
futteringly; in others there will be no
pulse to be found. and no breath to be
detected; and while with some the
affair may be of moments, in others it
may be OF hours; usually, however, mo-
ments determine il. In all cases the
face is pinched and pale; the heart re-
fusing blood both to the brain and
to the surface of the body leaves the
system without consciousness, the
countenance bloodIess, and the skin
cold. The remedies should be immedi-
ate, although under favorable circum-
stances nature herself assumes RENE
dial duty. The patient should at once

Where Cow-Bells Are Made.

Collinsville, ILL.,, is great place for
cattle bells. That COW bells are made
and do not grow on trees or elsewhere
seems to surprise some people. but
there are four establishments in the
United States which are exclusively
devoted to the manufacture OF that res
onant article, and two of these are in
Collinsville. One hundred and fifty
dozen are turned out daily and thou
sands of them dangle from the necks
of unfortunate COWS all over the prai-
ries of North and South America The
manufacture of cow-bells is entirely
distinct from that Of other bells. In
stead of being nodded the metal Is
rolled into sheets, cut into symmetric-
al polygons, which, when folded, are
pressed into their well-known form.
Having been rivetted they are next
packed in clay and brought to white
heat. When suddenly cooled these
steel bells are found to be not only
tempered, but also beautifully brazed-

FACTS ABOUT SALT.
Many Interesting Points for Seekers After
Reliable Information.

Reliable Information.
There are many interesting facts
connected with salt which it is we'll
sometimes to remember. To begin
with the name itself, a curious fact is
to be noted. Salt was formerly re-
garded as a compound resulting from
the union of hydrochloric Cor. as it
used to be called, muriatic) acid and
soda, and hence the generic term of
salt was applied to all substances pro-
duced by the combination of a base
with an acid. Sir Humphrey Davy,
however, showed that during their ac-
ton on each other both the acid and the
alkali underwent decomposition, and
that while water is formed by the
union of the oxygen of the alkali and
the hydrogen of the acid, the sodium
of the former combines with the chic
rine of the latter to form chloride of
sodium, and this term is the scientific
designation of salt, which, paradoxical
as it may seem, is not salt. Chloride
of sodium must be considered economic
ally under two heads, relating respect
lively to sea or bay salt, and to rock or
mineral salt. The one is probably de-
rived from the other, most rock-salt
deposits bearing evidence of having
been formed at remote geological pc
RODS by evaporation from the sea. At
one time nearly the whole of the salt
used as food and for industrial pur-
poses was obtained from the sea, and
in many countries where the climate is
dry and warm, and which have con-
venient seaboard, great quantity of
salt is still so obtained. In Portugal
more than two hundred and fifty thou
sand tons are annually produced, and
the same quantity approximately is
obtained on the Atlantic and Mediter-
ranean coasts of France. Spain has
salt works in the Balearic Islands, the
Bay of Cadiz and elsewhere. which turn
out annually three hundred thousand
tons, and even the small seaboard of
Austria produces every year from sew
enty thousand to one hundred thousand
tons.-LOndon Standard.

THE TwINE MONOPOLY.
A Combination That Has Proved Itself q
Thorn In the Farmers Side.

Thorn In the Farmers Side.
The honest farmer is beginning to
assemble in indignation meetings,
where he discusses his wrongs and
passes resolutions expressive of his
outraged feelings. The Irvine monop-
oily is great thorn in the honest
farmers side. 1t is not the only one.l
but it is the one that he is the most
conscious of. and he is getting ready
to vigorously protest against it. He
is not less the victim of the steel trust,
the barbed-wire trust, the oil trust,
the impending salt trust, the coal ring
and the rest of the robbers who are en-
trenched behind our blessed high-tariff
wall, but he is used to their exactions
and rather likes them; in fact, he
doesn't see how his grain could grow
and his fiocks multiply without the
glorious stimulus of protection to the
infant industries of Pennsylvania. But
this Irvine trust in some mysterious
way has chafed his sensibilities; it has
CALLED him until he winces; it has got
him as mad as a wet hen, and he is
indignating and resoluting with a fire,
and copiousness which show that his.
spirit is not wholly broken, however
much it may have been cowed by long
standing abuses not the less effective
because they were unperceived by the
deluded victim. For a wonder he has
discovered that high-priced Irvine
doesn't mean high-priced wheat;
no, not by a jugful. He might have
fn,1n1 ont firpa if no
pleased to inquire, that high-priced
lumber, iron, steel, woolens and cot
tons were equally Intellectual in max
ing high-priced grain, but he has been
so busy preserving his country from
the hated rebel and the accused Brit
Usher that he really hasn't time to ex-
anime the facts. He has just voted to
keep up his ''home market" and to
enable Mr.. Carnegie to pay high
wages, sweetly trustful in the gilded
promises of the prophets of high taxes.
1t is a hopeful sign that he has at last
opened his eyes and thrown off his
lethargy. 1t BODIES no good to the
kings and barons. The enemy in sight
is the Irvine trust, but the honest farm
er will presently see behind that the
serried ranks OF the other trusts and
combines and protects; and then will
come the deluge. Meanwhile the hon
est farmer is doing some thinking on
his own account. He IS putting two
and two together and finding out that
the sum of the addition is four. When
ne has got far enough along in his
practical arithmetic to determine that
if he gives $1,000 worth of wheat for
$500 worth of goods he is out of pocket
the whole difference, whether that
difference be collected by the Govern
ment for revenue or by Mr.. Carnegie
for protection, it will be just as well
for statesmen of the Mckinley and
Randall school to take to the woods.
