BELGIUM GOING AHEAD.
Extension of Franchise and Ref
erendum Proposed.

Extension of Franchise and Ref
erendum Proposed.
BRUSSELS, May PA. decree was
published today containing a declara-
tion that the king approves of the reso-
luton recently adopted by the senate
and chamber of deputies providing for
a revision of the constitution. After
the senate and chamber have voted that
certain articles of the constitution are
TO be revised, those bodies become ipsO
facto subject to dissolution, and their
successors, elected within a period of
two months, will acquire the powers of
a constituent assembly. In accordance
with this provision, the decree of today
diSSOlveS parliament and fixes June ID
as the date for holding the elections.
There are several articles of the con-
stitution that it is proposed to revise.
Tne most important Of these is article
As, which opens up the question OF uni
versal suffrage, and article 26. under
which there is project for introduc-
ing the referendum system. The latter
question IS held to be more important
to Belgium than the extension of the
franchise. When the agitation for con-
stitutiOnal revision had reached its
height, King Leopold impressed upon
his ministers the necessity for meeting
the demands, at the same time incor-
porating in the constitution the best
of safeguards against haSty decisions,
confused issues and dangerous legisla-
ton. This, his majesty held. would he
attained by adopting the referendum
principle. The form of referendum
proposed in Belgium is to be applied on
the initiative of the king. not only to
bills passed by parliament, but also to
bills proposed. 1t is contended that by
following this course. it will be possible
to avert legislation, which might result
in straining the relations with foreign
countries.

r. Worthington, the head of the we'll
known publishing house of Worthing-
ton & Co., of New York, is at the Ryan.
Mr. Worthington is gentleman Of
something over fifty years of age, and
has been publishing books for the
Anne rican public ever since he came to
New York thirty-one years ago. In
politics he delights to be known as a
mhgwump and supporter of ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland.
"The only political speech ever made,
he said, laughiugly, was in the campaign OF
1884 when Mr. Cleveland was elected. l have
very seldom voted the Democratic ticket. but
l will do so again if Mr.. Cleveland is noml-
mated at Chicago
Can Mr. Cleveland carry New YORK if he
is nom;nated?"
81 think so, and by a large majority" was
the answer "a great many New York busf-
ness men voted for him in 1884 regardless OF
politics. and more will do so this year, and 1t
will not make any difference who the othe-
candidate may be. do not know why it
was, but i'll our business we never had as
prosperous a time as during the administra-
ton of Cleveland. This has been cut IN two
since. l do not know that it is due to the ad-
ministration of President Harrison, but you
know how people look at these things, and
the men in my line of business Will all vote

licans, who will vote for Cleveland if he is

railway, and one of the wealthiest and
most public-spirited men in Montana,
died suddenly this morning of heart dis
ease. Col. BrOadWater was native of
Missouri, but located in Montana at-an
early day. and has ever since been lden-
iified with the state. He was q man of
wonderful business ability, ,and-had been
engaged in almost every line ofbuSiness
carried on in the state. Mining ven
lures, stock raising, numbering. mercan-
tile enterprises and railroad building
were some of his undertakings. He was
president OF the Montana National bank
of Helena, and one of the projectors
and builders of the Montana Central.
His keen foresight and great business
ability attracted the attention of PreSi-
dent j. J. Hill, of the Great Northern,
whose confidence Col. Broadwater pos
sessed to a remarkable degree. He was
public-spirited man and was never
slow in taking hand in anything that
would help advance the interests Of his
adopted state.
The Hotel Broadwater at Helena Hot
Springs is a magnificent monument of
this public spirit and generosity, and is
one of the finest things of the kiud
in the world. Although possessed of
great wealth he was the most demo-
cratic of men; indeed. his simplicity
became proverbial, and acquaintances
in mentioning him would always ask if
Col. BrOadwater still carried his Water
bury watch.
In politics Col. Broadwater was a
Democrat, and one of the celebrated
big Four" of Montana. He was a
member of the Democratic national
committee, and has always been one of
the party leaders in the state. The
party suffers a severe loss, and one that
cannot easily be filled. Although an
impulsive and high-sDiriied man, Col.
Br0adwater was popular, and his death
will be sincerely mourned by the entire
state.

main for several days looking over the
North Dakota political field from the

The Kansas Celebrity Bloviating
in Dixie.

WARRENToN, Va, May pa big
crowd of members of the Farmers AL
lance thronged the streets yesterday in
spite of the fitful clouds and sunshine,
for they gathered to hear Congressman
Jerry Simpson in his first appearance in
the haunts of Virginia Democracy. He
handled both Democratic and Republi-
can principles without gloves. This
provoked Democrat in the house, who
continually interrupted tue speaker. AT
last Jerry called out:
"If that gentleman does not keep
quiet I'll pull off my socks and pitch
into him."
The speaker advocated unlimited
coinage. upheld the subtreasury scheme,
explaining that thirteen out of every
thousand owned several pieces of prop
erty In the country: banking and other
business absorbed the farmers labor,
and the government should control tele-
graphs and railroads. He SAID: "You
can't reform the tariff any more than
YOU can reform hell" and that he was
for free trade and not reform. Dele
gates were appointed to the Richmond
convention, which elects delegates to
the Omaha convention. They were in
structed to put up man for president,
but no name was mentioned.

KENTUCKY CONTEST.
Sentiment Seems to Be Leaning

Sentiment Seems to Be Leaning
to Cleveland.
LOUISVILLE, KY. May 24.-The night
before the battle gives every indication
that the most stubborn contest i'll the
bourbon state will add another blossom
to the great laurel wreath of Cleve-
lands. success. Delegates from all
portions of the state are arriving
in the city, and while there is great
division of opinion, the preponderance
of sentiment seems to be in favor of
strong declaration in favor of Mr..
Cleveland. Instructions for Cleveland
can, however. be given only in the face
of the most vehement opposition from
the supporters of Kentucky'S two favor
ites-John q. Carlisle and Henry Wat
terson; the latter of whom tonight in a
public speech reiterated his well-known
views concerning Cleyeland's inability
to win, concluding as follows:
Il have spoken as L had the right to
speak, and because it seemed that it |
did not nobody would; for the men who
hold the offices and who ought to guard
! the eeilfposts consider themselves and
their places of luxury and comfort first,
the people and the party last. There
ought to be somebody who holds no
office, who wants no office. who has no
motive for concealing the truth that
happens for the moment to jar against
the sensibilities and predictions of
the people. 1t is my ambition in
life to he that somebody-the highest
kind of high private, the first kind of
free Niger, and as long as you, my
neighbors ana friends, rally around me,
and believe in me and say. Hello,
Billy to me, shall be able and willing
to take the worst kind of bad medicine
out of the blackest kind of pewter
spoon, and if it turns out that a majority
of the boys in the trenches are resolved,
willy. .nilly, to go TO the devil, why, yon
and 1, and all of us, will go with them."

convention. Of the lot Charlie Baker

presidential nomination he said: Il
have voted for Blaine in three national
conventions and aided his nomination
in 1884, and each time represented the
sentiment of my state. Now, with New
