members present. The proceedings of the
last meeting were read and approved. The

the barn well filed with some fine tobac-
CO, that is, that which was cut before the
storm; that cut since has some dirt on it,
The barns are in good condition, but need

tie looking well and the sheep a. very good
South Down breed. The horses and mules
in fine plight; corn crop ordinary, owing

pearance. The dwelling and surroundings
neat and comfortable. We think the out

THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

The formal announcement of the deal
by which the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company is to
obtain control of the Old Colony lines
was made yesterday. The public is
thus formally informed that the pro-
testations of the several officers of both
companies to the effect that there was
no deal on foot were to be taken in the
Pickwickian sense, as they were.
Now that the deal is made there is
nothing to be done but to make the best
of it. Ii may turn out that it is not
quite as bad as some anticipated. Hone
springs eternal in the breasts of even
those who have waited years for the
promised terminals in this city.
The statement Of the New Haven
officials is not packed with assurances
of what the company plans to do for
the benefit of the public, one may say.
1t recites the reasons hatimpelled them
to make the deal, published, doubtless.
to quiet compunctions of uneasy stock
holders. II hints, in vague but large
way, of sundry possibilities for serving
the public better than are now opened
TO the management, carefully abstain
ing from making any pledges TO grasp
the opportunities. IL alludes 10 the hone
that the public may indulge that there
may be arrangements made for quicker
time between New York and Boston.
which is hope that has survived many
previous deals and is not yet absolutely
II Will pass muster on this
occasion. II is about all there is 10 hope
for, according to this statement.
IL is TO be noted that care has been
taken TO obviate all objection that can
be avoided. The present arrangement
is 10 be a lease, which the legislature Of
Massachusetts, cannot prevent. The real
is 10 come later, at the
pleasure Of the promoters. aud after the
legislature can be impressed with the
philanthropic motives of the Consoh |
dated road, possibly after another leg. |
islature has been elected.
There is not much in the statement
to make Providence people sing praises.
Perhaps the new deal will make it nee
cssary to go all over the terminal mat
ter again. Possibly it may be found
that President Clark Of the Consolidated
may not agree with President Clark of
the Old Colony. There are infinite pos.

Uniform legislation is an expression
that needs no legal mind to comprehend.
Its purpose is 10 secure the enactment
in all the states of similar laws relating
to marriage, divorce, deeds, convey
ances, wills, descent and distribation
domicile, Legitimacy, naturalization.
insolvency and minimum and maximum
penalty for crimes.
AT present each state has separate
laws OH all these subjects.
The condition of the laws of our own
state on the question of marriage and
divorce are sufficient illustration of tbe
defects that exist. The state is annn-
ally invaded 10y large numbers of those
who come TO secure divorce, which
under the laws Of their own state thew
are denied.
Accepting the fact that this lack Of
uniformity exists and that it needs
remedy, there arise two suggestions
That all topics upon which there should
be uniform laws he referred 10 the
United States Congress, and that uni.
formity must be attained by the action
OF the separate states.
The first solution would involve an
amendment 10 the constitution, and as
but one set of amendments have ever
been added 10 the constitution since its
adoption and they cnly 10y means cf
civil war the difficulty is almost insupe,.
able. II would also disturb the nice
equilibrium existing between state and
national governments and make an
innovation that might prepare the way
for an onslaught on state prerogatiye,
that would endanger the government.
There remains, therefore. but one
way 10 put an end 10 the difficulty. and
that lies through the state legislatures.
Already twenty states have the matter
under consideration, aud Rhode Island
should not I've the last 10 adopt some
plan Of action on this important topic

stood as soon as read. and its results
will be as helpful TO the Democrats as
the Republicans.
Any measure that looks toward prac-
tical purity Of the ballot, however, is
sure 10 produce the most profound hor-
ror among certain Democrats. Their
imagination runs riot through the whole
gamut Of possible wrongs which lurk in
the sections of such an act. The ignor-
ance which they assume in regard to its
meaning surpasses if possible that which
they are actually possessed of.
The tactics yesterday assumed by Mr..
Mccarthy are not worthy of him. Mr..
Brown very neatly exposed his position
by expressing desire to see any Demo
crat who didn't understand the BILL IL
was this policy of dilatory methods
that caused Mccarthy 20 be relegated
to private life from the City Council
last year.
The General Assembly is elected TO
enact beneficial laws and not to waste
time over partisan discussion cloaked
under pretended ignorance. II is fortu-
nate that the majority of the Democrats
showed no intention of following the
assumed leadership of the two gentle
men from Providence.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-02-09
THE SECOND THOUGHT.

The announcement now made by the
representatives of the deposed queen of
Hawaii confirms the suspicious of those
conservative people who have from the
outset thought that the question of an
nexation required the utmost caution.
1t appears that the United States is
confronted with very different condi-
ton from what was first supposed. The
| statement that the revolution was
popular uprising, consequent upon the
PRONUNCIATION by the queen of consti-
tuition distasteful to the people, is
directly contradicted by what appears
to be the true version-namely, that the
queen had decided TO withdraw the new
constitution and that the revolution
was in the nature Of an unjustifed re-
bellion, led by few business men who
seek to control the islands.
Under these conditions the action of
Minister Stevens is open to criticism.
The intense Americanism assumed by
the advocates of annexation seems TO
have been somewhat premature if i'm the
light of truth it is finally shown that
the people of the islands are capable of
governing themselves, and that they are
anxious TO do so.
The business interests Of the islands
are of Importance to us, but any action
which forcibly wrests from the natives
under protest-the possession of a gov
ernment which is their own will
scarcely be accepted as honorable.
A protectorate over an unwilling peo-
pie will not conform to American ideas
of freedom, and in this case. where the
people are intelligent, it will not have
even the excuse of necessity, which has
been the only basis of the subiugating
policy of European countries.
Americans are ever ready to censure
the rapacity of England, but it now
seems possible that we may be in danger
of overstepping the bounds of interna-
tional right ourselves.

AS will be noticed from the table

based on the census Of 1890 had in view
the making Of an almost solid free trade
delegation TO Congress, but with the
marked increase of the Protection vote in
1892, it is safe to predict that with ac
tive effort the Protectionists will elect
three ana perhaps four Congressmen from
New Jersey in 1894.
By the comparative returns given it
will be noticed that the Republicans had
an increase Of 43,3l3 votes az the las,
election, and the Democrats had an in.
crease OF $3.50. hence the Republicans
show a net gain over the Democrats of
4,93l votes for 1892 as compared with
1890. IL will also be noticed that the
Prohibition vote fell of 2So votes and

The first bill of Importance to demand
the attention Of the lower branch Of the
General Assembly-that relating 10
printing the addresses Of the registry
voters-gained additional value as the
discussion of it was an indication Of the
tactics which may be expected during
the session from certain members of the
minority.
The bill is i'm no sense partisan
measure. It's aim is simply 20 purify the
ballot by securing TO legally registered
voters the rights which are theirs by
furnishing them more exact means OF
Identification and depriving others II

BALLOT REFORM.

The report of the special committee
on the congressional election was in
many ways a remarkable document.
The preparatory announcement was
coupled with such a severe arraign-
ment of some of the election officers of
the state that one questions whether the
voters or the election officers need the
most instruction in their duties.
Ballot reform in all of its details has
not proven itself that boon that its ORR
ginators anticipated. Attention has
been so frequently called to the results
of the law during the election, in which
the complication of the ballot plainly
disfranchised thousands of voters, that
remedy for this defect need not be
again urged.
1t Is confidently claimed that the de-
fects in the law on this point will
remedy themselves. Complicated as
our city ticket is there is very little di-
versity between the votes cast for the
first and the tenth candidate. The
voters are able to distinguish the names
of those for whom they wish to vote.
When they do not wish to vote they
may indicate that fact as they did in
the spring election of year ago, by
simply abstaining from voting.
The defect noted in the recent report
lies not so distinctly in this line. The
law is plain enough, but while it is
mandatory and the public statutes pro-
vide for no penalty for their violation.
particularly where the violation is not
intentional. Whether the trouble will
right itself with time can only be con-
jectured, but the strong language used
by the committee cannot fail to have q
very salutary effect upon every election
officer.
Notwithstanding the concensus of
opinion that some action should be
taken immediately, there need be no
especial haste in the matter. The law
is explicit enough. All that it needs is
some slight amendments making its
provisions more binding and providing
a penalty for the violation.

NEW JERSEY ELECTION RETURNS.

The American Economist will say to
morrow: The study of the Congressional
election returns OF the State OF New Jer-
sey are even more interesting than those
of Nebraska given last week and show
decisive gains for Protection mem bers of
Congress over the elections Of 1890. By
the new census, which gave New Jersey
u populati on of .444, 1888, the new districts
were formed with view TO the election
of as many free trad Democrats AS pos.
sible, and according to the present an.
portionment the population of each is az

sibilities of further delay In the new
DEAL but it may be the part of wisdom
to refrain from borrowing trouble about
the matter. The common sense view of
that phase of the matter is that the Con-
solidated will be the more anxious to
have the use of the new terminals here
as soon as they can be completed.
We in Providence can console our
selves that the Consolidated does not yet
own the highways, and that until ii
does, and the walking is worse, no man
can truthfully affirm that this city is
completely "bottled up"
