The invitation extended TO President
L. B. Andrews Of Brown University to
accept the chair of political science in
the great new Chicago University is a
fitting tribute TO the zeal, learning 'and
educational work of one of Rhode
Islands most distinguished citizens.
The subject of political science is one
would be especially interesting to DIR.
Andrews, and in line with his past stud
les and Investigations. Nor shall we at
tempt any disparagement of the Chicago
school, which is rich. well managed and
has future. 1t is flattering offer
Nevertheless we hope that President
Andrews will prefer the direction of
Brown, with its glorious recollections
and associations and the fine new vigor
that characterizes its management,
rather than become a subordinate in any
other galaxy Of educational stars, how
ever brilliant. We would all hate to see
him go, and his place on the Hill would
not be an easy one TO fill.

HYPNoTIsM WORKING.

The NEWS discussed at some length
yesterday the chances of success and
failure in Stephen c. Clevelands hypnotic
campaign. The influence seems 10 be
working with very reasonable degree
Iof power. 1t is frying out the fat, and
this is conceded to be the hardest test TO
which psychic OF any other force can be
subjected. If the political gossips of
New York are TO be trusted, Stephen, fix
ing his eyes in the seclusion Of his own
library, upon the convex lines of his
stomach, and repeating to himself with
concentration of purpose, g will that l
be nominated" has so conveyed his
thought, even as the Theosophists claim
to be able to convey letters, through the
air TO the faithful that in the space of
three days 500, 900 has been subscribed
to send New York delegation to
Chicago TO join issues with Hills
brigade.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney,
who has been mentioned by the NEWS
rs one of Clevelands best sensitives, is
credited with coming down with $20,
600, and the contribution of exMayor
Grace-it's significant by the way, how
many of the Cleveland lieutenants are
eX's, back numbers, restorations-is
variously estimated at from g, 800 TO
5000. Ex-Secretary Fairchild has been
mesmerized to the tune of $4,000 and
i. Ellery Anderson, f. X. Coudert and
a group of other good subjects have put
up $50, 900 between them. The psychic
force has worked so strongly and stead
lily that the message has been flashed all
over New York State, "Go ahead with
the work; the money for Syracuse and
Chicago is all ready"
Hypnotism is great idea. BY COM
parison, Hills bass drum and viol pro-
cession through the sunny South, the
scenes as he puts it of the late dis
turbance," is a scheme coarse in design
and clumsy and laborious in execution.
Stepher q, has evolved useful novelty
in campaigning; he ought to patent it.
The hypnotic method might be the max
ing of man not already corpse politi-
cally and waiting burial; it can only
galvanize Cleveland.

RAILROAD PROFITS.

The figures given by Railroad Com
missioner Freeman III his report to the
General Assembly concerning the divi-
dends paid by railroads in the United
States are full of interest. Ii appears
that of sixteen railroads operated within
the State ten pay dividends either on
preferred or common stock, or both. the
dividends ranging from % TO 10 per
cent. The proportion of dividend.pay
ing stock is, however, much greater than
five-eighths. Indeed, of the non-paying
stocks only about 81 900, 600 are extant,
while nearly $500, 100000 are extant of
the paying stocks, including New Eng
land, which paid dividend on preferred.
This is Il remarkably prosperous snow
ing. II is the more remarkable when
compared with. for instance, Michigan.
where only eight ont of seventy-six
companies paid dividends last year. or
with the whole country, only one-third
Of whose roads paid dividends. In the
State of Michigan only per cent. of the
stock is held 10y resident capitalists, who
are themselves only about : per cent. Of
the whole number Of holders. The rest
OF the shares are owned east or in Eng
land. Rhode Island has It's share.

OPENING TIE CAMPAIGN.

The rally of the Fremont club at
Woonsocket last evening was distin-
guished success. Addresses were deliv-
cred by ID. Russell Brown, by Senator
Aldrich, John w. Cass, Mr.. &. de Ton
nancour, l.. w. Ballou, Secretary of
State Utter, Speaker Capron, j. M. Au-
thier, President Norm, Lieut.. Gov.
Stearns and the Hon. III. A. Dubuque.
1t was great success for the new club,
and must result in greatly stimulating
its activity in good work.
There is no strain of un-Saxon blood
in its admixture of races, for which the
republic has greater reason TO be CRATE
full than the French. The French ma
tion has shown its friendship for us dur
ing more than century, and from
Yorktown to the setting up of the Statue
of Liberty has been foremost in proffer-
ing aid when needed, and in expressions
of good will. But beyond any political
debts to France as anentity we are CRATE
full for the vein of French blood which
has added Gallo quickness and insight
to Saxon stolidity. The land which
has SO long been a centre of arts and a
teacher of civilization has given us states
men like Gallatin "a French SWISS, and
the Morrises warriors like Lafayette,
Fremont and, on the other side, Beaure-
gard artists like ST.. Gaudens and La
large phifanthr0ptsts like Girard, INV
yers like Coudert, historians like Gay
ARE, writers like Thoreau, scientists like
Audubon and Agassiz, the latter again
a Swiss but of French blood, capitalists
like the Lorillards, LaZards and hun
dreds Of others who might be named.
More than these, it gave us the very in-
spiration of our national life and institu-
tions in the writings of Rousseau, Vol
taire and the great groups of the
eighteenth century philosophers.
The sturdy citizenship of the French
people, their love OF liberty, their skill in
the arts, their industry and inventive
genius make them extremely valuable
elements in our citizenship. The Woon-
socket French Republicans are as wise
in their political preferences as their
countrymen, here and at home, have
usually been.

THE NEW YORK GERRYMANDER.


Gov. Flower has presented to the New
York Legislature bill re-apportioning
the Congressional districts of the State
in accordance with the new census. OF
course Gov. Flower was not appointed
10 propose legislation, but this does not
matter in the least. What Gov. Flower
wanted was a bill to deprive the rural
Republicans of their proper representa-
tion in Congress, and this would seem to
be fairly well accomplished by his meas
ure. The average number of voters in
New York City Congressional Districts
is III, ,316; while one Congressional Dis
trict in the rural part of the State has
190,550 population another, 206,6s3; a
third, 1S9, 139; another, 202, ,416 another,
1856; and two others have 200.
Considering that the city Democratic
districts have had their apparent popu-
lation greatly swelled for political effect
in the recent partisan census, the Demo-
Gratis seem to have pretty fair notion of
being good to themselves.
BY this arrangement the Democrats
hope TO carry twenty-five out of thirty
four districts. 1t would be worthy end
of their enterprise if the decent people of
the State should rebuke such tactics as
they deserve. a new State census will,
under the constitution, be due in three
years, and by this justice may be done,
if the giip of the Hill looters can but be
loosened in the hot and heady fight that
is coming.

THAT SUPPRESSED DECLINATIoN.

There is quite unnecessary stir in
Mugwump circles over the New York
Telegrdm's "scare" story that the great
aspirant recently ceased from aspiring
and wrote a letter refusing to be put IN
nomination for the Presidency, which
letter he was prevented from giving to
the newspaper by the combined efforts
of Mrs. Cleveland and ''several level
headed Cleveland men,"
It seems to be considered proper TO
deny this story with emphasis and effu-
sion, but its truth or falsity makes not "A
particle of difference. Suppose Mr..
Cleveland did profess himself "sick of
the ittleness and chickering's and insults
that daily infringed upon his private
life;" suppose his first impulse was TO
run away and hide himself in the fast
