The election in Rhode Island, to-mor-
row, promises well for the Republicans.
The Providence Journal, which has
heretofore for several years been per-
sistently Democratic, has declared for
Cleveland, free wool and Aldrich. AS
Aldrich is Republican opposed both to
Cleveland and free wool it is clear that
the effect of such mixed course on the
part of the first Democratic paper of the
State must be to confuse and divide. The
Republicans seem sure of the legislature,
and ought to elect their governor. 1t is
a magnificent battle, with the leading
men of both parties on the stump.

Although Bismarck seems to be out of
German politics for good, he does not let
pass any opportunities for bringing him
self and his record into favorable con-
trast with the doings Of his successors.
His birthday celebration at Fredericks-
ruhe, on April list, was made the occa-
sion of what would be termed in America
a bismarck boom.'' There were spe-
cial trains from Hamburg. eulogistic adj
dresses, speeches from visiting delegates,
and then number of little suggestive
responses by the statesman out of Office,
writes London correspondent. To each
delegation he said what was calculated
to please them most. To the miners of
Bochum he recalled how he always de-
Tended their industry. To the farmers
he pointed out how he was more an ag-
riculturist than anything else. To the
artisans he dropped hints that he re-
manned the stern, unbending protection
list. To excitable young torchbearers
from Hamburg he made lingo har-
angue, declaring amid cheers that Ger
many could take her two enemies on the
east and west and knock them to pot to-
gether. Yet for all the mistakes of the
young Emperor, and for all the humilia-
lions his ministers have had to stand,
there is said to be in Germany very little
idea of returning to Bismarck or the Bis
marck policy. German thought
is broadening and Germany is
becoming more liberal every year that
she is out from under the hand of the
