1t Adopts Number OF Resolutions "a,
Its Meeting.

IL Adopts n Number of Resolutions at
Its Meeting.
At the afternoon session of the Rhode
Island Temperance Union held yesterday
in the vestry Of the Richmond street
Free Congregational church, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted.
First. The Rhode Island Temperance
Union, in annual meeting assembled, de-
clares that the need OF its existence and
the demand for its work are as great to-
day as ever in its history. After "a short
period OF prohibition, the official records
OF what showed "a wonderful decrease in
the number OF saloons and crimes result
ant therefrom, our State has been
brought under the high license rule by
the combined influence Of the liquor fra
ternity aud the mistaken judgment of
many respectable voters, till now the In
crease OF crimes. directly aud indirectly
connected with the saloon, Is such that
all workers and students in social reform
are to-day appalled, and are casting about
for means To stay the tide OF evil. We
still reiterate that teaching our princi-
pies, total abstinance for the individual
and prohibition for the State, is laping
the axe at the root of this tree of evil
Second, We call again upon the
churches aud moral reform organic atoms
OF this StSe, not only to do their in
dividual work along this lice, but TO join
their forces TO this organization that we
may meet the thoroughly organized
enemy with the weil-orgauized forces OF
righteousness.
THIRD, We recommend that our Bosrd
Of Managers take steps for the opening Y
of bureau of Information aud the em-
ployment OF an agent.
Fourth, We call upVn all temperance
men OF the State o study the records and
know the opinions Of men running for
Office, and see that only those true to our
principles receive their ballots.
Fifth, We call the attention OF our
freemen 20 the fact that the right OF pc
tition cannot be denied" and yet the pc
titions Of this and other Representatives
bodies calling for more efficient laws
against prevalent crimes have been ig-
nored aud no public hearing grantet by
| our legislators TO the honorable petitions.
| Still, we recommend that our petitions
be again presented to the incoming legis-
| lature, aud that our representative bs
present " speak In their behalf

AFTER A DAKOTA DIVORCE;
Reported Intention Of Rev. II. Price Col
lier To Secure such.

iier 10 secure Such.
New YORK, Dec. 15.-The statement
that Rev. II. Price Collier, recently pastor
Of the Unitarian Church G; the Saviour in
Brooklyn, has gone to South npakota, has
given rise to a report that he went there
to secure divorce from his wife, who left
him last spring and returned to her moth
er's house in Brookline, Mass, soon after
the birth of her baby.
The cause of the unhappiness OF the
couple, who had not been married tive
years before they separated, was not made
known at the time, but there were curious
stories set afioat in the society. One was
to the effect that Mrs. Collier was jealous
OF the attentions OF her husband TO q
wealthy widow in his congregation. MIR.
Collier was regarded as a man of genius,
with some OF the eccentricities with which
genius is usually credited IL Is said that
he made prolonged absences from home
without explaining TO his wife what he
was doing, and failed often to return
when he promised. No member OF the
church could be found last evening will
ing to say anything about the probability
OF a divorce suit.

MILLS is being severely handled by
the democratic press from Gotham to
Texas for his Phillips letter. The
authenticity of that letter having
been established. the whole pack
Tray, Dash and Sweetheart-have
opend on his trail. There is good
reason for the howl that this letter
has raised, for 1t is an arrsignment of
the democratic chiefs who slaug entered
the big Texan at Washington, and is
done In Mills most vigorous style.
This letter leaves no doubt of Mills
intention to make war on the policy
announced by the democratic chiefs
in congress, but how large Q follow
ing the "Great Disappointed" will
have in this course remains to be
seen. Certain it Is that some of his
warmest admirers disapprove of his
course, and will oppose him if he per-
sists in it. Iul any event 1t invests
the situation in congress with no
little interest to the republicans, who
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose by democratic contentious.

TEXAS AND THE woRLp's FAIR.

Inc meeting Of the Texas Worlds
Fair directors ut Waco this week
suggests to San Antonio that the
time Is fully ripe for her to take &C
| ton in the matter of representing
herself and the state in the Colum
bian Exposition. 1t is by no means
creditable to state so vast in area,
so fertile In resources, so diversified
in agricultural products, so rich In
her mineral deposits as is Texas,
that she has done nothing towards
securing proper presentation of her
advantages in an exposition to which
the civilized world will contribute,
and which is being held virtually at
her own doors. 1t can be accepted as
true without question, that the SOUTH
western states which make the best
showing at Chicago will take the
lead in securing capital and immi.
grafton for the development Of their
resources. The Chicago expo sition
will mark an era In the
history OF southern develope-
ment. Heretofore immigration
and capital have been largely directed
to the great northwest, but when she
comes into competition with the south
west states, as she will at Chicago, 1t
will be seen that the ad vanrsges alike
of climate and soil, are in favor of our
more temperate region. Every year
sees more markrd disinclination on
the part of immigration to seek q
home in the bleak northwest, and J
when once it is demonstrated that q
more kindly climate and equal re.
turns can be secured by capital end
agricultural labor, the stream of inn
migration will be turned southwest.
