THE NEW HOSPITAL

Cannot Move Into New Headquarters This

Connections-Future Plans Contemplated
hv Tho Syatars

Originally it was proposed on its
completion this fall, to move into the
new hospital headquarters. but ow
ing to the fact that water cOnnec-
tons cannot be obtained. for the
present. at least, the Franciscan sis
ters will be compelled to remain in
the present old building. 1t was
the hope that the city would
have furnished connections in that
locality sufficient to warrant the us
age of water this winter that
prompted the sisters in contemplate
ing the occupation of their new
headquarters by this time. Should
an immediate change in quarters be
made, it would be necessary to use
well water, and as the building is
heated by steam, beside the usage
for divers other purposes, it would
be an impossibllitv to furnish a suili-
Gent amount without the desired
accommodations. The inadequate
room of the present building has
forced the sisters nearly every day to
refuse the admittancc of patients,
and it is for this reason alone that
they are DESTROYS OF getting into
their new home.
The New Bnilding.
knowing that the present state of
affairs will not permit Of the occu-
pancy of the new building this win
ter, the contractors have not pushed
the work, but should an op-
portunity present itself Of any pos
sibility of getting waterworks con-
nections yet this winter, it would not
take long to complete it, as nothing
more remains to be done but to finish
part of the flooring aud other in
terror work. Everything in readi-
ness, it will furnish accommodations
for so patients. There are 10 rooms
in this building, all large and well
lighted. The lower floor will be
used as kitchen, boiler room, laun-
dry and general dispensary, while
the private, smoking, surgical and
operating rooms and fever wards
will be in the second and third
stories. In its construction. every
precautiOn was taken to provide for
the best OF ventilation and sanitary
surroundings, and altogether the in
stitution is one of which our citizens
should be proud, rs it bespeaks the
fruits OF their liberality and the I'M
firing efforts and labors of the sis
tiers in charge.

The Rocky Rhode Island Platform.

The Rhode Island Democrats have been
corrupted by the shameless backslidlng Of
the Democrats at Washington. The de-
morallzation OF their moral and political
tissue is sadly evident In their platform.
The student OF political degenerations and
reversions will find q melancholy interest
In such passages as these:

Things That Arc Not So.

The Stddts-Z Zeitun0. now the organ OF the
wealthy Mr.. HERMAN RIDDER. has highly
philosophical discussion respecting the
future Of the Democratic party. 1t is not
true. in Mr.. RIDDER's opinion. that tho
party has been false to its programme.
because 1.-The House OF Representatives
promptly passed the WILSON bill and thus
fulfilled It's duty. Besides, this body repre-
cents the mass Of the Democratic party
much better than the Senate"
It would be interesting IL Mr.. HERMAN
RIDDEB would cause his Siddts-Z Zeit,rno to
explain In what manner the WILSON bill
fulhls any pledge Of the Democratic pro-
Rramme.
According to that programme II is a fun
damental principle Of the Democratic party
that the Federal Government has no consti-
tutional power TO impose and collect tariff
duties, except for tho purpose Of revenue
only" At the same time It holds that pro-
lection is q fraud. :" O robbery OF the great
majority OF the American people for the
benefit Of the few
Now the WILSON bill is q protectionist
bill at every turn, and It must take all the
cunning and subtlety Of Mr.. HERMAN
RIDDEB to show that Its protection. its
fraud. and its robbery. fulfil the Democratic
pledge Of "a tariff for revenue only"

came serious. as there did not seem
10 be any peaceful way Of ending the
deadlock. On the 18th day. DIR. ELLAURI
won again. according to the count. but
once more he declined to accept the
Office. most likely because OF his dread OF
the populace and OF the experiences which
he once had In an insurrection. His decllna-
tion was accepted by his adherents, who,
after an interval Of three days, resolved to
name another official candidate. and on the
18th OF March voted for sefior ALc1DEs

The public dlsquiet over the deadlock had
become so grave that the business OF
Montevideo was paralyzed.

listed at the opening Of last week. On We'd

nor BoRDA. was brought forward. under

possible that he may have had majority OF
one on the first ballot; but bis adversaries
declare that his election was invalid. the re-
suit Of diotation. terror. and fraud. It is
only through military power that he can
retain his hold upon the Presidency.
Our Mugwumps ought to profit by the
study Of this election. for the reason that
Uruguay illustrates some of the principles
which they desire to introduce into this
country. The Ignorant classes" are pow
erless In the politics Of Uruguay. The
privilege Of suffrage is restricted. only
those OF the male adults who are educated
being permitted to exercise It: every voter
must be able to read and write. Again. tho
official body Is exceedingly powerful In
Uruguay. 30 powerful that its members

composed Of distinguished citizens. Finally.
the President Of the republic is elected by
the two Chambers in joint session. both OF
which bodies are. or ought to be. far
superior to the ordinary run OF the people
Of Uruguay.
Yet. Notwithstanding all this MuRwump-
cry. Uruguay is q country Of revolutions.
and lie ruled by dictators: and the Chambers
spent three full weeks In trying to elect
President. while civil war was feared every
day OF that time.

Can IL BE Possible :.

1t 10 reported from Lexington. Kentucky.
that when Col. BRKoKINRIDdE returns
thither after the conclusion of the trial at
Washington. his friends and neighbors will
give him "a rousing reception" and a
|" banquet" and that they are already
making elaborate preparations.
This proposed demonstration Is to take
place. II the despatch tells the truth,
whatever the result OF the trial; and 1t is
reasonable that he should receive such
honor whether the case goes against him
or In his favor, providing that he deserves
any honor at all. 80 far as the character
OF Col. BRRcKINRIDdE is concerned and as
respects the moral quality Of his confessed
relations with Miss POLLARD during the
long period Of nine years. IL matters not
whether she obtains damages against him
for breach OF promise OF marriage or fails
20 get such a Judgment. II his course enti-
ties him to honor at the hands OF his Ken
tucky friends and constituents. and fresh
nomination to Congress by the Democracy
Of his district. verdict Of the Washington
Jury favorable or unfavorable. will make
NO difference In his merits or his deserts.
The fact that Col. BRRcKNRIDdE estab-
lished unlawful relations with young girl
or woman during the lifetime OF his late
wife is not denied by him; nor is it dis
puted that he kept tkem up until the death
OF his wife and that thereafter he continued
them until he was married again to another
woman than his paramour Of nine years.
So far as his moral character Is concerned,
therefore. IL Is matter OF no essential mo-
ment whether he promised marriage to
Miss POLLARD with professsdly serious
intention to carry out the contract. or
whether, as he contends. the promise
was made. on the understanding OF
both. for the mere purpose OF hood dwinkInR
their friends as to the depravity OF the re-
lations between the two. Such an aeknowl-
sdgment on his part only increases his
offence against society and against moral
law. He added deceit and lying to his other
indications Of moral turpltude.
IL he had made the promise honestly, as
hiss POLAND has testified that he did. and
had tulhlledi IL hoDorably. some measure OF
consideration would now be his due. He

End of the Deadlock In Uruguay.

There were several features OF interest to
Americans In the recent deadlock over the
election OF President OF the republic Of
Uruguay. In succession to DR.. JULIO HER
RRRA OBEs whose term Of ONCE ended
with the month OF February. and whose
successor was to be elected on the lst of
March. The incidents that have occurred In
Montevideo within the past three weeks.
during which the election has been In
progress amid constant apprehensions Of
revolution. are especially deserving Of con-
temptation by our Mugwumps.
1t may be said that the Presidential cam
paign began In November last. when the
legislative elections were held. as the sue
cess OF candidates at that time depended
upon their attitude toward the various as
pirants for the Presidency. The Official can
didates for the Chamber OF Deputies were
declared elected in every instance: and, as
IL was known that the President in ONCE
had selected the man whom he desired as
his successor. most people took 1t for grant
ed that the Presidential question had been
settled in November. The three leading
aspirants at that time were DIR. ELLAuRI,
Gen. PEREZ. and DIR. TAJRs. the last named
OF whom had been stiRmatized as Social
list Of the dangerous type.
On the lst Of March. as provided in the
Constitution. the two Chambers met In Joint
session at the capital and began balloting
for President. No candidate had a majority
OF the votes, forty-five OF which were needed
for election. The popular excitement ran
high, and the troops were confined to their
barracks. Next day DIR. ELLAURI. an ex-
President. was credited with the necessary
majority; but as his adversaTies assumed
threatening attitude. he declined to accept
the ONCE. though he had stood as the on
cial candidate and Was supported by the last
ex-President. On the third day another
vote was taken. and he was again brought
forward. but three Of his supporters de-
serted him, and his Liberal rival, Senor
GoAESzoRO, received the largest number
OF votes. though not enough to elect. The
sitting OF the Chambers had 20 be sus-
pended on account Of the danger Of a col
lision between the enrAged parties. There

ers OF the army were preparing 10 inter-
