from one of the first emigrants that sailed

Republicans are somewhat surprised
at the fact that provision is made for
one of their political faith on the
board of managers, and one on the
board of Canvassers There are
members. who belong to the old '76
school, who are so thoroughly op-
posed to this idea of having Repub-
licans on any political boards with
them that they will oppose this sec
tion in the Convention. They say
that no good can come from it. The
Republicans, of course, expect to
fight the plan-there is nothing else
left for them. They have but little
idea of its defeat la the Convention
or in the courts, but expect to fight
simply as a matter of form. TIE
chief fight of the cciored delegates
will be to have the entire Constitu-
tion submitted back to the people for
ratification. They have an idea that
this can be done, and with heavy
negro vote the work Of the Conven
ton csn be nullife1. 1t will, how
ever, not take the Convention long to
settle this delus;vc fancy.

THE n PHI'S.

We refrain from making such comment
rs seems to be due to the subject of the
COMMITTEE Of Fifty" until the cecIina-
tions are all in and the vacancies are sue
cessfully filed.
. We are informed that about half the
committee held a meeting somewhere
yesterday and that they elected the
original Committee OF Five, their W
maker and creator, TO honorary mem ber-
ship. The which performance strikes US
humorously.
So far as 1t is completed we observe in
the membership OF the committee:
/. Anuriber OF distinguished gentlemen
who have never before, to our knowl-
edge, taken any earthly interest in the
common affairs o. their fellow-citizens
and whose awakening to even this much
OF public spirit commands approval.
2. A batch OF fellow-citizens who are,
proverbislly, kickers and would ever be
kickers unless the game was football
when they would be likely to sulk be-
cause everybody else would be kicking.
3. One fellow-citizen whose political
habit, it is generally supposed, is to
corral what he calls Republican votes
and sell them to the Democratic bosses.
L. Several very young men who are to
be forgiven on account Of their youth
and incxperience.
5. Fellow-citizens whose ambitions
have, for one reason or another, been
restrained in their respective party organ
ization..
G. Democrats
T. Gentlemen who will decline to serve
just as soon as they catch their respec-
tive brcaths.
But as above. we refrain from comment
pending the completion OF the Chi Phi's
to the limit OF membership with ell de.
clinstIons account cd for.

We arc ssa. 7Ss. That is the population
OF Rhode Island.
The figures must be gratifying 10 every
Rhode Islander who takes pride in the
growth and prosperity Of his state-and
we guess we all dc take pride in our
State, even the reformers.
1t is a goodly figure, 1t is So,474 more
than we could show ten years ago, this
increase being greater both in numbers
and percentage than was enjoyed the de-
csde preceding. When the federal CEN
sus was taken five years ago we numbered
80, 252 persons less than we do today. The
increase in our population during the past
five years has thus been within six thou
sand OF the growth Tor the whole decade
bet 1875 and 1885. 1t Is nearly ten
thousand more than was estimated or
guessed it would figure before the enu-
merators went forth. We probably have
a bigger population in this little State
than Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada, New Hampshire, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah,
Vermont aud Wyoming. We are som
pumpkins.
Twelve out OF our 81 cities and towns
are decreasing in population, but the de-
crease is in most cases of no especial i'm
p~ortance or new significance. The balance
of the communities have increased, most
of them at a surprising rate. Cranston is
the ban ner town for growth. Although
she has lost some of her territory since
1885 her population has increased 70. 10 per
cent. North Providence next and
the town of Warwick is third.
1t is interesting to note hat the diver
gence between the male and female popu-
lation which has been marked in most
of the Northern States, and very m arked
in New England, since the rebellion took
SO many thousands OF our men, Is much
reduced by our new census. There are
only 95z8 more women thar men in the
State, or more correctly speaking more
females than males for the population
down to babyhood must be included. In
other words there are almost s'enough
men to go round" Twenty of the
towns contain more women than men,
sixteen more men than women, and the
town of Foster has the distinction OF
pairing off exactly-595 males and 500
females. The town OF War wick with its
big population of over p, 900 has only
about $50 moro women thar men, while
the City of Providence has nearly 5000
more-in fact about one half OF the total
excess Of female population, Wards /, III
and TX being the only sections where the
male population predominatcs in the mat
ter of numbers.

AZ INTERESTING ~nEroaMlE.'

we guess that Mr. Sosr2I a. .IiL-r>,
who is fluent on tho subject OF municipal
reform and is a mem Der OF the executive
COMMITTEES of the National Municipal Re-
form League, has actually exercised his
right OF suffrage as a citizen less than
any man OF anything like his years in
town, IL not in the world.
He has been talking on public matters
for a good many years. He was promi-
fiourishing days was as conspicu-
ously a talking organization as the
Union for Practical Progress is today.
Mr.. MILLER has always participated in
public matters with his voice, h2t never
with his vote. lie must be over 60 years
OF age, q German by birth, a socialist by
disposition and we believe he was natu-
rallied out in st. Louis as many as thir-
ty-ive or forty years ago. But, If we are
correctly informed, though Mr> MILLER is
a taxpayer he has yet to cast his
first vote in the city OF Providence
about whose interests he shows
so much concern. A smiling
public will, however, be pleased to learn
that after so extraordinary a period of
nervousness as a citizen Mr.. MILLER has
at last consented to quality as a voter
with the apparent purpose OF performing
the highest and at the same time the
simplest, the fundamental, duty OF an
American citizen. lie qualified barely in
time to get his name on the list and the
influence OF his X will doubtless be ex-
erted at the forthcoming municipal cleo
ton. The public will be disposed to par
don his neglect OF a generation in view OF
his final awakening TO what American
citizenship really means-which is more
than talk, even reform talk.
