The State Election.
Burrinyille Gazette.

Burrillyille Gazette.
There is no need OF a multiplication of
words about the election last "Wednesday.
The result speaks eloquently and impressively
for itself. From a State ordinarily classed as
Democratic goes a message to Congress that
ought to be, and probably will be, needed.
Rhode Island has emphatically and un-
equivocaily declared that she has had more
than she has wanted OF Democracy-as IL is.
The magnificent plurality OF over 600 for Gov
ernor Brown and the balance Of the State
ticket, most signally emphasizes the States
desire to abandon the party OF Prostration.
and TO return TO the party OF Protection.
Despite the efforts o. the Democrats to keep
national issues out OF the campaign, like
Banquo's ghost they woul not down, and to
these issues the Democrats may attribute
their defeat. In common with the thousands
OF the majority party, we rejoice that our be-
loved little State has swung back into its old
position in the line OF protection, prosperity
and prOnress

HIDEOUS RED TAPE.

Saturday evening child was run
over and killed by a Cranston street
electric car. Waiting for a medical
examiner to "arrive OH the scene" and
"view the remains" the little body,
according to the reports in the Sunday
papers, lay on the track and finally, as
traffic was becoming seriously en-
barrassed, it was removed TO the gutter,
where it lay for two hours and until the
examiner turned up. 1t was hideous
piece of officialism, the keeping of that
mutiated body out in the street..
There was no earthly necessity for it,
whatever the technicalities of the law
may be. II the body could legally have
been moved at all, as it was
when taken from the track.
it could have been moved n little
farther into some house or store instead
of being re-deposited into the street. 1t
is not medical examiners fault if ne is
Immediately unavailable every time an
accident happens. But the law never
contemplated any such spectacle as that
reported in the Sunday papers and if
there is anything in police regulations
that makes il dangerous for an officer TO
use discretion in the interest of common
sense and humanity, the regulations
ought TO be overhauled

Wednesdays Election.
Pawtuxet valley ol.aner.

The result of Wednesdays election shows
the trend OF public feeling and the dissatisfac-
tion with the Democratic management Of
affairs in State as well as national politics.
The hard times have had much to do with
the large majority received by the Republican
candidates this year and the result was indeed
the voice of the people. For the past year
many OF our factories have been shut down or
running on short time, cuts in wages have been
frequent and heavy and the working men
have at last began TO realize that il no worse,
surely no better times could be looked for
under Democratic rule and by their ballots
they have emphasized their condemnation of
the Democratic policy which is daily closing
mills and workshops and paralyzing every
branch of industry.

ENGLISH politics are again exciting
discussion and wagers are being made
that Rosebery's government will not sec
the roses bloom. While its dissolution
may not be as near at hand as that, for
there is not at present any serious mat
ter on which the house is likely TO have
division, from the nature Of things it
cannot be an enduring government.
The only one who apparently is not un-
easy over the prospect is the noble lord
who succeeded Mr.. Gladstone as pre-
mier.

AN ocean race between the Vigilant
and Valkyrie would undoubtedly be very
interesting and exciting, but the facts
that the latter yachts racing rig has
already gone over to the other side and
The yacht is in cruising trim, dispose of
any idea that such a race is probable.
But the Vigilant can find plenty Of
honor on the other side without racing
hcross in search of the doubtful honor OF
IN ocean race where the conditions
could hardly be the same.

The result of the election on Wednesday,
can be called a surpriseoniy in he.rnagnitude
of the Republican majority. IL was generally
expected that the party that was ont
would come In, but few predicted that
they would come with such an over
whelming rush. Governor Brown proved a
much stronger candidate than many
supposed, while the General Assembly
will not have "a Corporal's guard" OF
Democrats to make things lively and in
teresting for their opponents. There is
no doubt hut this is Republican year. and
that the people of this State have set the seal
of their disapproval on Democratic inefflcien-
cy. National issues must have entered large
ly into the campaign, aud hard times"
proved a factor Of the most potent kind.

REVOLUTION IN CHINA.
A Chicago Chinese Merchant Predicts
One There Shortly.

CHICAGO, Oct. i.-SpeakingS of the
report of the rebellion of the troops
in China, Sam Moy, the local man.
DARN, said: at means the beginning
of the end. We Cinnamon wish to
see China win, but more than that
we wish our own emperor back in
place of the usurper who now reigns
over us. For years the Gee Kings
have been growing in power and to-
day they have generals and officers
in command of the army. The sole OBJ
ject of the 'Gee-Hrng' society is to
overthrow the present emperor and
restore the old dynasty. 1t is a Sc
cret society with millions Of members
in China and 5000 in California. The
emperor has offered $1,000 re-
ward for the head of every Gee
Hing, but there is not enough money
iTthe treasury to pay for the heads.
The Yar with Japan will not last much
longer, for the Gee Kings will soon
be Strong enough to come out openly
ia1asdethrone the emperor.
tiAlapdarjn Moy thinks this winter
will see a new emperor and an elabo-
rate cofonation in China, which many
9ChinamensIiow in America will at
stehd II tlIeUean beg or borrow the
money-to cross the Pacific.

gave private exhibition to
newspaper men of his new bullet
proof dress. He used Martin Henry
rifle. The first test was at piece of
steel about e-eighth of an inch IN
thickness. The cartridges which the
captain intended to use were handed
to the members of the press for safe
keeping. The first of these was fred
at the steel plate and the result wa S

''Shall I fire at the plate or the
lady this tlme?" asked Captain Man.
ard, and there was chorus of "At
the plate" Again the bullet plowed
its way through the steel.
Those present refuseda second time
to ask the young lady, who was Man
ards sister, to pose as a mark, but
the captain told her to step forward
and she did so without hest
tation. His sister held pack
OF white cards in front
of her body and Manard fred. Miss
Manard moved just trife as a result
OF the shock, but the smile never left
her face that had come to it at the re-
fusal Of those present to ask her to
stand in front of the rifle.
Other tests were made with the
regulation Springfield rifle in use in
the American army and with the
same result.

JAPAN PUSHING THE CHINESE
WAR VIGOROUSLY.
ALL THE REGULARS IN The FIELD.
An Army OF $4,000 Men win Be Sent to
Corea or China at Once-Reserves to
Do Home Duty-Mad Panic in
Pekin and Elsewhere The
Whole of China said to Be
Almost Detenseless.

LONDON, Oct. THAT Japan pro-
poses to push the war with China
with the utmost vigor and to take ad-
vantage of the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie, was shown to-day when the
mikado issued proclamation calling
out for active service all of the re-
serves of the national guard. It's be-
lieved that this means that all of the
regular army of rs, 900 men will be
sent to Corea or China at once, and
that the reserves will be held on duty
in the Angdom for the present, to be
sent to the aid of the regulars if
necessary.
Reports from Shanghai are that
there is a mad panic in Pekin and
other parts of China and that the
very name japanese inspires terror
1t is said that the Chinese defenses
on the Corean borders have collapsed
and that the whole of China is prac-
tically helpless. The Chinese soldiers
at Win who have been opposing the
Japanese troops from Corea are re-
ported to have mutinied and thrown
away their rifles because they have
no ammunition.
1t is rumored at Shanghai that the
japanese have effected landing on
the coast of the Shanghai Tung prom
ontory to the northward of Cfe-Foo.
Adyices from Pekin are that there
isever increasing anxiety there among
the foreign population and at Tien
Tsin the foreigners are actively or
ganizing for defense of the foreign
quarters.
A dispatch from Shanghai SAYS: ut
is believed the emperor contemplates
a change of advisers and the dismiss
al of all the mandarins and others
who have been concerned in the con-
duct of the war. Affairs at Pekin are
tending toward an imperial court d.
etat, involving the overthrow of Ii
Hung Chang and other statesmen.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
the commander of the Japanese war
ship Naniwa has reported to the min
lister of marine, Count Saigo, that
while cruising in company with the
Atsukima, September 20, a Chinese
warship was sighted stranded in the
gulf of Tair-en- Wah. The japanese
believe she was the Kwang- Kai. The
Chinese crew on board of her, when
the Japanese cruisers appeared, set
fire to their ship and escaped. The
warship was reported to have been so
damaged as to have been useless for
further fighting and the japanese
completed her destruction. :,
