RHODE ISLANDS LOW LEVEL.

used to take off my hat to Pennsylvania
when it came to booding, but now, an IN
doubt as to whether the supreme dishonor be-
longs to Pennsylvania or Rhode Island. My
doubt has been raised by Stefins. in McClure's
Magazine As is known, Stef6us has been
employed for some time in digging up the
cussedness of politicians, and recently, he went
to Rhode Island.
Rhode Island is supposed to be one of the
states of the Union, and has population of
over four hundred thousand; sends two United
States senators and probably representative to
congress. Rhode Island is Republican as to party,
but in form of government, it is an oligarchy.
In that state, the ballot is based on property
qualification. Up to 1848, a freeholder could
vote aud hold Office. Since 1S48, all rich peo'
pie can vote, no matter how the riches were
gotten. In Rhode Island, there is no ''igno-
rant'' Irish, Pole or Italian vote; neither is
there saloon, slum or rifraf. Figuratively
speaking, the voters in Rhode Island are clothed
in hne linen. Votes are bought and sold, same
as we buy and sell pigs in Kansas, and prices
range from IS to $25.
According to Steffins, United States Senator
Aldrich owns Rhode Island, politically. Al
drich is cbattel of Wall street., He is head of
the senate steering committee. No measure
can pass the senate unless it passes the steering
committee. All of which means that Wall
street owns the United States senate through
the nstrumentalily of senator's like Aldrlch,
and Of whom AldIich is chief. And as Stef-
fms remarks, ''the Rhode Island senator is
ground ed on the lowest layer Of corruption"
In that state, franchises are granted for 9oo
years. If something is wanted by the bcodlers
contrary to law, the law is changed to cover
| the want. @M
| Aidrich is in sugar, electric light and gas.
He secured the passage, through congiess, oi
an act that gave sugar $3, ,ooo, 900 year ol
cleaucut steal from the people who use sugar.
Sunday School Rockefeller is a son.inlaw o.
Senator Aldrich and so, through family rela
tions, Adrich is friendly to oil. AS the rail
roads and manufacturers elected Aldrich, he is
therefore, friendly to railroads aud panufactur
ers. All interests a.e ably represented ant
stood up for except the interests of the people

people as reward for big contributions to
campaign funds.
We are forced to say that government run
on such lines is damnable, and the men who
run it ought to be in the penitentiary.

the wharfs for some hours when he
suddenly jumped over the bulkhead

him to shore by a longshoreman who
had seen him make the leap and had
dived after him. Finally, when it
seemed that the heat crazed man

THE CATAWBA WRECK.
Arrest of George Owens Charged
With Wreoking the Train,

The arrest of George Ovens near
Osceola, S. O., Monday by Sheriff b.
A. Horn Of Union county and Mr.. w.
r. Newman Of Chester, s. O., Is ex-
pectcd to result in the clearing up of
the mystery that has surrounded the
catastrophe which occurred near Ca
tawba Junction early on the r1orntng
OF September 9Th of last year, when
passenger train No. al Of the Seaboard
Air Line was preclpitated from o
sinking bridge 80 feet to the ground
below, falling with fearful crash.
Only few minutes later, to add TO
the terrible confusion that already
prevailed, an extra freight came
laundering along and was hurled
headloDg upon the debris Of the pas
senger train. AS a result Of the acci.
dent five lives were 81 and more
than 35 were injured.
This double wreck was said to be
due to q tampered track. Ever since
the accident occurred tho officers have
been working on the case. A week or
more ago the wife of George Owens,
In q fit Of jealousy, disclosed the secret
which bad been 80 long sought for.
Owens was at once arrested and is
now behind the bars of Union
county jail. The warrant on
which he was taken was not
that Of train wrecklng, but for
the robbery of Mr.. B. A. Deaton's
store at Stouts. All the facts have
not yet been secured to connect Owens
with the Wrecking OF No, Al. but the
detectives have the case In hand and
the developments are expected very
shortly. In the meantime Owens re-
fuses to speak and is resting safe and
secure behind the bars.
