The Value of u Cipher.

We often hear the expression II

prompts the utteranoe commendable.
but these characters have their places
prominent ones too. which will be
sadly missed when they are not pres
ent, as we discovered last week when
the absence OF one OF those ciphers
caused MS to make the declaration
that Shreveport had on hair. ono day,

LlPR-NErs AT FIRES.

The fire at Detroit last night exem-
pli6es the fact that the fire departments
of the various cities lack one OF the
most valuable piece of apparatus for the
preservation of human life. We have
big hook and ladder companies, water
towers and engines galore, but we have
no arrangement for the salvation OF life
at fires in the shape of safety
nets. In the recent disastrous conhagra-
tion in Boston, dozens of men and women
leaped out of high windows because the
roaring flames would not permit them TO
wait until ladders could b. raised. I'M
provsed nets made Of horse blankets
saved at least score Of lives.
Last night at Detroit man after man
hung to the window sills until the
flames forced him to drop, and then he
went shooting downward TO his death
on the hard ground below, when life
net, which could have been spread in a
minute would not have cost over twenty
FIVE dollars, aud every life would have
been saved.
Public sentiment will soon compel
fire departments to include life-neis in
their list OF apparatus. They could be
carried on'every hose wagon, and could
be spread in less than thirty seconds.

POLL TAX AND REGIsTRATION.

Mr.. Geo. II. Utter, in the Narragansett
Weekly, calls attention 10 the prevail
ing misapprehension regarding registra-
tion and ihe payment Of poll taxes and
explains that the two are entirely indie
pendent and in no way connected with
each other.
The same misapprehension which Mr..
Utter finds in the southern part OF the
state prevails here also. although re-
peated explanations have been made.
Some citizens have the impression that
because they pay poll tax they are not
compelled to register while others think
that although they have registered they
can not vote unless they previously pay
tax. Both impressions are erroneous.
Under the law, every man who would,
if he registered, be entitled to vote. can
be assessed for poll tax. Whether he
registers or not this liability remains.
To qualify himself as an elector, how
ever, he must register. This is the one
and important prerequisite to voting
and is entirely distinct from the duty OF
paying poll tax.

THE RIGHT MAN.

The Republicans of Woonsockct could
have made no better choice for the
mayoralty than Mr.. Aram J. Pothier to
whom they extended a unanimous and
enthusiastic nomination last evening.
No citizen of Woonsocket is better
known and none enjoys to a greater ex.
tent the confidence and esteem Of the
people of his own city, and indeed, Of the
state, than Mr.. Pothier.
While yet in the prime of manhood
he has had large and valuable expe-
rience in public affairs, and has dis
charged every trust imposed in him
with credit 20 himself and satisfaction
to the public. Although he previously
failed to be elected that failure was due
entirely TO a lack of interest on the
part OF Republicans. OF this there
is no danger in the present canvass.
The party is thoroughly aroused. More
than that il is united and enthusiastic
and determined To win.
With such n fcuiiment in his favor
ard with only divided and d.sheart.
ened opposition TO overcome Mr.. Pothier
should b. certain Of success
