THE OPENING GUN.

The Rhode Island Republicans fired
the opening gun of the Congressional
campaign yesterday by nominating Hon.
MELVILLE BULL of Middletown and Hon.
WARREN o. ARNOLD of Glocester 10
represent the First and Second Districts
of the State respectively in the Fifty
fourth Congress.
The Republican party, strong as it is
today, goes into the campaign with the
added inspiration that comes from the
candidacy of two of its strongest men
men who are, with few exceptions, more
generally and intimately known to the
voters of the State than any other two
that could have been selected. Mr..
ARNOLD has already represented his
State in Congress creditably and well,
while Colonel BULL, as Lieutenant
Governor, member of the Senate and of
many important commissions, has had
an experience in public life and has ac-
quired "a familiarity with the wants of
his constituents that have been the for
tune of but few of his fellow citizens.
Both the candidates have record of
many political victories to their credit
in both State and National politics and
it will be recalled that Colonel BULL had
some 100 plurality over his strong
opponent, Colonel LAPHAM, in the
the first Congressional election of 1890,
while Mr.. ARNOLD has yet to meet a
defeat for Congressional honors. Both
will draw from the Democratic strength,
not only because OF the tendency of the
times, but also because of their personal
popularity and repute among their fellow
citizens, irrespective of politics, in their
districts.
The Republican party has done well
to take the initiative in this campaign
and lot their fellow Democrats follow
with such fortune as head tide and a
de arth of available Congressional mate
rial may afford. The campaign need
not be an especially spirited one to
make it successful for the Republi-
can nominees, for the people already
have their minds made up and are only
awaiting their earliest opportunity to go
to the polls and express their resentment
toward party which has given us
"perfidy and dishonor' tariff. an out
rageous income tax, low wages, hard
times, miserably weak foreign policy
and reckless misgovernment in nearly
every department of administration.
And the expression of this resentment
will be especially marked in the oppor-
tunity also given for making known
cordial appreciation of the able and
earnest men whom the Republican party
have put forward.
The News will have the greatest
pleasure in extending to its friends, the
Republican candidates, the full measure
of its support and influence and has no
earthly doubt that on the seventh of
November they will be elected by rous-
ing majorities.

ADLAi ON SUGAR.

In his speech ut Lincoln, ILL.,. on We'd
nesday, Vice President STEVENSON allud-
ed to the question of sugar duty in these
terms:
II [the Mckinley tariff was solely In the inter est
OF the rehner, for the that the "free sugar~
OF which you have heard so much. was wholly un
for domestic use. 1t was the raw material that
passed first into the hands of the refners--of the
"Trusts." II the sugar used upon your
tables. Before It reached your table, the reaner
had added to its cost TO the consumer era city the
"tarif" that another clause of the Mckinley law
your homes, in cooking and upon the table, the
tariff tax was placed at so cents upon every hun
dred pounds.
What ineffable rot 4! What dense ig-
norance such utterances as this assumes
to prevail among people OF all the
wild and silly attempts made to turn
the inundation of popular condemnation
back upon the Republicans, this is far
and away the silliest.
What does Mr.. STEVENSON do with
the fact that Sugar was 4 cents per
pound under the MCKINLEY law and is
) cents per pound now?
Nothing, whatever, more than this
one fact is needed to settle absolutely
the question of the tariff and Sugar.

ALEXANDER Ill.

If the report Is trne that the Gar of
Russia has taken such serious view
of his condition as to induce him to
establish regency in st. Petersburg, it
is proper to consider his reign virtually
ended.
1t is not, however, easy to estimate
the consequences OF this imminent
change. The Gar has very strong
personality. and has impressed himself
upon Russia powerfully. 1t is
probable, nevertheless, that we in
America may be inclined to restrict
our view of Russian affairs within the
too narrow bounds of the literature that
has been popular here during the past
few years.
There has been evolved in Russia,
under the autocratic rule Of ALEXANDER
III, species Of constitutional govern
ment, or at least government according
to fixed principles, born of the fear of
assassination the Gar was continually
the victim of. Certain formulas were
adopted early in ALExANDER's reign
calculated to protect his person and give
his government stability in the event of
disaster, and certain powers were dele
gated to officials.
This delegation of authority, for the
purpose Of strengthening autocracy, has
gradually extended and perfected sys-
TEN that divides responsibility among a
group of statesmen. The overshsdow-
ing personality of the Car has dimin-
ished. The DEGREES of the government
have been formulated and executed by
others, his part having become more and
more that of adviser and of formal ap-
proval.
This tendency toward constitutional
methods has been noted, but its strength
and hold upon Russian affairs can
scarcely be understood. 1t may develop
its Importance If ALEXANDER dies, or
surrenders control of the Government.
And 1t is not at all impossible
that we in America may
see a condition of civil control in Russia
that will evidence greater degree of
progress that we have been taught 10
respect by that literary telegrapher, Mr..
GEORGE KEENAN,. and his compeers.
The part that ALEXANDER III. has
played in the progress OF Russia during
his reign has been a singular one, but
such as history has constantly
taught us to confidently expect.
The methods OF de-potism have
been forced to further liberty
the autocrat has become the hand
maid Of progress. Personally, ALEX
ASDER's life has been exemplary. and in
many instances he has given very pow
erful aid TO movements and impulses
calculated to advance civilization.
IL IS not the fashion, The NEws un-
deisiands well, to say good word of
Russia; it is not the fashion to do her
justice, even. Yet il ought TO be
possible now, as she seems likely TO
experience one of those radical and try
ing changes cnly monarchies are subject
TO. TO consider more of the elements
that are dominant in Russia, and en-

A FIRE KILLER.
Remarkable Exhibition at the Butler
Hospital for the Insane.

The inmates of the Butler Insane Asy-'
lum were somewhat startled yesterday
noon to see an immense fire burning
among the trees back OF the COW barn,
and smoke suddenly subside i've minutes
later: The fire was purposely set by
DIR. w. A. Gorton, the superintendent, for
the purpose OF allowing practical test of
the Bridgeport Chemical Fire Extin-
guisher. And the "fireman who 30
Reynolds Of New York, representing
Gleason & Bailey, the largest fire cxtin-
guisher manufacturers in the world.
The test was private and In every way
satisfactory proving conclusively to DIR.
Gorton's satisfaction that the extinguish-
which is sli that was claimed for it, but
that it could control flames that even
chemical engine would find great
difficulty in suppressing. The superin-
tendent spared no pains to build good
fire and q quantity OF brush and cord
wood, hay and rubbish was piled eight
feet high in q large hollow through
which from one SIDE swept very strong
breeze. The doctor insisted upon having
. good draugbt through the pile and,
aided by the wind, a roaring blaze soon
mounted above the tree tops on the bank
above. Then Mr.. Reynolds, with
burning mass and two three gallon ex-
tinguishers, walked to the verge OF the
pile and soon subdued the fire so that q
pail of water would have completed the
work. The extinguishers are made of solid
drawn copper shells and filled with So
luton devoid of acid or other corrosive
substance. They weigh when charged
about thirty-ive pounds and can be
operated by youths and women,
being very simple in construction.
They can be re-charged in three min
utes and the contents, by means Of com
pressed air, exert pressure OF 80
pounds to the square inch. To
subdue house and factory fires
at the start is the intention of the apps-
ratus, and DR.. Gorton oppressed himself
as being satisfied as to the practicability
of it. These extinguisher are in place in
many schools in the country and
are endorsed by John :. Damreil, chief
inspector of buildings, and Superrntend-
ant f. +. Cabot of the board of under
writers of Boston. The chemica solution
will not freeze and retains its efficscy.
At the Sockanosset school Mr.. Reynolds
met with hard fire to extinguish, but he
did 1t with only Az gallons of solution.
An old cellar was filled with tar and resin
barrels saturated with kerosene oil, and
in two minutes the fire was out.
