used to serve boiled dinner on Mondays,
Bill Thought nothing of assimiiating three
heads OF cabbage and the appropriate ac-
compartment of salt meat, while he helped

cured Sunday on a railroad track at the
foot of Monroe street From papers
found on the suicides body he is be-
lieved TO be Henry Hershaw, editor and
manager of the New Orleans CONNER
cial. The man was noticed standing on
tho tracks and as freight train ap,
preached he threw himself upon the
tracks and placed his neck across the
rails. The police FASTENED to the spot,
but the train severed his head from his
body before they could reach him.
Letters found in the mans pockets led

true, tell a sensational story. In all the
letters which he had written Kershaw
speaks of crime charged against him,
which was being prosecuted by a woman
he designated as Libbie Bloom, and a
number of secret societies lie claims
that ne was bounded to death and to
the grave. He speaks of an ufair trial,
and evidently believed that his enemies
intended to murder him. He hinted at
lynching, but stated that he did not fear
it, not fearing death.
Letters were also found ON him signed
by Libbie Bloom, and they. taken in con
nection with those written by himself,
indicate that he was infatuated by the

Reform Needed in Rsod, Island.

Reform Needed IN G5Od5 Island.
The people of Rhode Island are remark
ably patient under minority rule In any
other state OK the union condition Of af-
fairs that makes minority rule possible
would be changed without unnecessary de-
lay. In Rhode Island, however, year after
year the people permit the choosing OF q
governor who represents only a minority
faction, without making an effort to amend
the constitution, so that a small faction
could not get control Of the governoTshIp.
The constitution of the state provides that
a majority of ell the votes cast shall be
necessary for the election of a governor.
For years there has been three candidates
at each gubernatorial election, ana no one
of them has been able to get majority Of
all the votes cast. When there is a failure
to elect by the people the legislature chooses
a governor.
The republicans ara in the minority, but
they succeed in electing the governor. They
control the legislature, and they do it not
because they have a majority of the voters
but because the representation in the legis-
lature is so arranged that they are able to
elect majority of its members The state
is divided into towns, each town being al
lowed a representative. IN the cities
large majority Of the voters are democrats,
while Ia the country the majority are re-
publicans. A city having 900 voters has
no greater representation 10 the legislature
than country town or district that has
only 100. 1t is easy 10 see. therefore, how
the republicans are able to elect the leglsla-
ture and also the governor.
The system for electing congressman in
that state is fairer than that for the election
of governor, because a congressional candi-
date that fails to get majority of the
votes at the. first election has only to get a
plurality of them if second election be-
comes necessary.
Some OF the leading men in Rhode Island
have been trying for years to have the con-
stituton so changed that candidate for
governor may be elected by plurality of
the votes cast. The state is a slow one,
however, and it is a difficult matter to get
the people sufficiently aroused to demand
a change In the state constitu-
ton. The republicans have the con-
troll Of the legislature and they
don't want the constitution changed. They
prefer to have it as it is because it increases
their chances of retaining control OF the
governorship.
The basis OF representation should be
changed also, so that the people in the cities
would stand upon footing equal to that
Of those in the country. A fair representa-
ton would, in all probability, give the leg
tslature to the democrats.
