We met the other night,

How hungry was I on that night
And oh. how sad felt
When gazed at those oysters, small.
And knew how soon they'd melt.
Like guests unbidden in my eyes

Oh, what an aggravation thisl

THE sTAY.AT-HOME VOTE.

The Republicans of Providence stayed
at home yesterday and permitted Dem
ocrat to be elected mayor of the city.
The result is not creditable to men who
should know that eternal vigilance in To-
cal affairs is the price of good econom-
ical municipal government as it is, in a
larger field, the price of liberty. The
truth is that the Republicans of Provi-
dence have become careless. They have
become so familiar with a government
running smoothly, honestly and efficien-
tly that they have brought themselves
TO believe that in any hands it must con-
theposition of an engineer who having put
his huge machinery in motion sits down
to read the morning papers. Engineers
who have read thus have been lulled to
sleep by the regular and monotonous
motion and sound and often disaster has
followed. The Republicans of Provi-
dence having been lulled to a state in
which they feel it discomfort to go to
the polls may be awakened by crash.
The result of yesterdays election can
not be considered Democratic victory,
though it places Democrat in the
mayors chair and the Democratic party
must enjoy the fruits of the result. 1t
is victory for the stay-at-home Repub-
icans and one in which they should and
can take no pride. Fattened by the
plentitude of repeated successes by ad-
ministrations conducted in their inter
ests and by series of well-arranged de-
partments of government they appear to
have forgotten all hut personal comfort
Democrats went to the polls yesterday
and voted for Mr.. Potter; Republicans
stayed at home and thus gave what was
equivalent to half vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate.
The result is an endorsement Of the
excellence of the Republican local gov
ernment in Providence for the past
thirty years. IL is not, however, cred
table 90 the endorsers.

THE most potent argument, unques-
tionably, for Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 was
that he was better than his party" re-
marks the Boston Journal The same
plea, in n subdued form, was advanced
occasionally in 1888. but whoever dares
TO insinuate in 1892 that Mr.. Cleveland
is better than .his party" will lay HIM
self open to suit for libel. There are
some affronts that even the thickest-
skinned Democrat will resent, and this
is one of them.

GROVER CLEVELAND, thinks the Chi

Tammany tiger. Even the New York

that he will be defeated if nominated.

KANSAS CITY, April l3.-The Even
ing Times says:
Since the farmers alliance has taken
hold Of affairs in Kansas, many surpris-
ing things have been done, but the most
unique and daring plan that has yet
been evolved by that body is a reported
scheme TO build trunk railroad across
the state. Ii is expected that this prop
osition will be made the issue Of the
next political fight in Kansas by the
alliance.
The plan is for the state government
TO construct a trunk line about $50 or
300 miles in length, and for the coun-
ties TO build network of branches that
will touch every important point in the
state. 1t Is said that the right-of-way
privileges would be donated in every
instance Frank McGrath, president
of the Kansas alliance, was in the city
to-day. When asked about the plan he
was very reticent, but admitted that
such a scheme was under consideration
by the alliance.
Several railway.men were interviewed
concerning the farmers scheme. Mr..
f. c. Gay, general freight agent of the
Santa re road said:
"The state will have to guaran-
tee the payment for the first four or five
years interest on bonds OF this kind, for
the reason that the railroad companies
would make determined fight and no
road in the state would make any mon
ey, for the reason that rates would be
cut TO the lowest possible notch. In the
end, though, the companies would be
banlrupted and driven out of the field.
Mr.. Gay did not believe the plan would
ever be coasummated, and all the other
railroad men regard it as wholly i'm.
practicable and visionary.

what % do wan The Indian.


Many plans are proposed for solving
the Indian problem. One most inn
portant thing can be done. aud no time
should be lost in effecting it. Let
white men on Indian reservations be
reduced to the minimum as rapidly as
possible. Let all offices at agencies be
filled by Indians. Give them the clerk
ships. the traderships. the post-oflice,
the carpenter. shoe. tailor. harness.
blacksmith. barber. and other shops.
Let them run the saw mill when there
is one. Ia short, let no work be given
white men that can be done by Indians.
This rule should be vigorously OBJ
served. Teachers 10 the schools and
ministers of religion should also be
Indians as soon as NAV be. The Rev.
Mr.. Cook is a full-bloOd Sioux. and a
highly educated refined gentleman. He
has charge of the Episcopal church
here, aud ofliciated al the funerals of
our men killed in action. That de-
graded creature. the squaw man. who
does 50 much mischief should bo
abolished; aud any white man who
lives with a squaw should be obliged
to quit the reservation. and the woman
should lose all right 10 rations or an
nuities. White traders ought 10 20 as
soon as their places can be filed with
Indians. - Lieut.. j. C. Gresham ia

CLEVELAND, o., April l3, The an.
nouucement was made yesterday at the
annual conference Of Latter Day Saints
that Apostle Joseph Duff and, possibly,
another, together with other mission
aries, will, in all probability, be sent to
work upon the Utah Mormons To per-
suade them to return TO their original
faith, which is held by the reorganized
church. Apostle Duff says that poly
gamy is conducive to immoral vices,
but there are many Mormons in Utah
who despise polygamy.
Elder Hillard delivered an eloquent
sermon on "Tithing," saying that by
this method the poor man has claim
upon the blessing of the Lord just as
much as the rich In the New Testa-
ment there are references to the law Of
tithing, Notwithstanding that 1t may be
thought that tithes were abolished
when Christ's dispensation began.
