There is no room for complaint on part of the Rhode Island people of re- stricted suffrage in the States of the South. The new Democratic +overnor- elect in speaking of conditions in the State in recent interview said:
 We have a restricted suffrage That is the trouble. Our State ii. divided into twenty eight towns and cities each of which sends one Represents tive to our Senate. Twenty of these towns control and twenty of them rolled into one would not have the population of our greatest city, which, of course. has but one Senator.

THE DIFFERENCE

In a temperate and we'll written edi- torial The Brooklyn Eagle calls at tention to the course pursued 1y Presi- dent Cleveland in the famous dispute between Great Britain and ,enezuela. It sets out the details of the course pursued by Cleveland and the satisfac- tory results of that course, &Ed shows how the critics of the President were silenced and put to shame. Then it adds:
 Mir Cleveland rounded up" Great Britain, because he knew how to do 1t. and because he know that 1t ough. with that pursued by Mir. Roosevelt Tn the action of the Board oS Education of San Francisco as that action is af- fected by the sensibilities of Japan. Mir. Roosevelt in his message f1attered Japan to the top of the possibilities of pen and typewriter, even under the orthoeraphy. If his object was to in timidate California by resounding praise of Japan. the Chinese who hope to win battles by the, 1oise of drums, instead of the use of weapons, found in him an unexpected im'tator Japan. however. though pleased at the prom inency accorded to her in the message, has not also found that the State of California was correspondlngIy scared"
 It Is dificuIt even to ser out such an order of events as this: First. 1t was asserted that we were to make d new treaty with Japan. Next, it was asserted that we are to make no new treaty with Japan. Then it was dc clared that the United States courts would enforce our exising treaty with Japan. against the School Board of san Francisco. and that wcG followed by the discovery that the School Board tt ar An. ( the treaty had nothing to do with the School Board or the School Board with the United States courts. Finally, the whole incident is closed" and every one is happy. There never was a case. or an event. or A series of events equal to this. It was an all-orchcstra affair, but the only instrument in the orches- tra was a big bass drum. That has become silent. It reminds one of Mfr. CleveIand's round up" of Great Brit ain--but, only, In the late Nate Sauls- bury's words. because it is so dix ferent.
 If we were asked to state in a few words why there was such k wide diff ference in the results arrived at, and why those results were so creditable in one case and not in tie other, we should answer: Because in one affair 1t was Mir Cleveland who was Presi- dent and in the other it was Mr. Roose- welt. This would explain the matter concisely. As The Eagle says, Mr. Cleveland succeeded because he knew that it ought to be done and how to do 1t. Mir. Roosevelt did not know what ought to be done, what could be done or how to go about doing any thing. That is the difference between an official who knows and one who doesn't.

; Sympathy For Prisoners.

 'Illustratively of the good feeling of the white man toward the negro, I noticed several instances today while prisoners were being sentenced by Judge Thomas in the City Court" said A lawyer.
 There were several negroes found guilty by Juries during the term whose fines were fixed at one cent. or course this seems light, but account must be taken of the large costs which run up and which the average negro cannot pay, and must therefore work out. The least number of days, under the law, that a judge can Impose for a fine Is ten days, and this means hard labor. There were three such ,negrues be- fore the court yesterday who had been fined one cent. for which Judge Thon- as, in pronouncing sentence every time. made 1t ten days hard labor. But in each instance white men in tho court room stepped forward, handed the clerk one cent out of their pockets It seems almost incredible to believe that these negroes haven't a penny to save them ten days at hard labor. but this Is true in great many instances.

 T was much impressed with the ma . terial side of the Conference of Mathn- dist ministers which has just closed at Eufaulas" said visitor to the con~ ference, yesterday, ''and was specially struck with the good hnmor which M they heard;-for the first time, the places to which they were assigned, to live and work for the next year. lf there ware any serious disappoldtments among the preachers as to their loca- tions they certainly did not make It known.
 T realized, as never before, the gem nine consecration of man who will trust himself entirely in the hands of others to decide for hirn where he Is to make his home. Tho pathos of the sit- uation struck me forcibly. know there wer men there who. for n.any reasons, did not want to leave their present charges. yet were changed and they accepted the situation as pleas antly as did those who we're assigned to the most important places tn tho Conference.
 rJust before the bishop read the appointments, Monday afternqon, q minister remarked to me with genuine feeling In his voice: you have no icea of what the last hour of Conference means to us preachers. You have no conception of the peculiar feeling a man has when he knows he has .a fanl- fly dependent upon him, and has no Idea where his home Is to be, or into what surroundings he will be coinpeli- ed to plunge his family, and yet in all the years that I have been in touch with the Conference, never knew a man to refuse the appointment given him by the bishop. The homes of more than six hundred people will be chang ed within the next hour

Wholesale District Eplargine.

"The man who keeps to the prtnci- pal business streets of Montgomery. whether he be visitor of a local man, cannot possibly appreciate the great improvement that Is constantly goinR on in the city" said well known Elk yesterday.
 "Only a small percent of Montgom- ery's population appreciates the extent of the great building operations which have begun in the two blocks north of the Eiks Home, and between it and the Western freight depot. These improve ments have called for the clearing of a space of valuable real estate equal to two city blocks. In clearing away the old buildings for new structures, some of the city's old landmarks have had to give way before the march Of pro- gress. That part of the city from time lmmemorial has bee4 set aside for cot. ion warehouses. It was near the riv- CT and In the old days a half dozen steamboats have been at one time tied up at the wharf. while q steady stream of negro laborers passed back and forth, loading the boat with the eOts ton bales of Middle Alabama.
 But the property is now too vaiu- able for cotton warehouses. It has been claimed by the expansion of the wholesale district of the city. The wholesale district has long been con- gested and confined nut it's further confinement Is no longer possible, and where the warehouses stood, modern wholesale structures are to reaI their heads

BLAST WRECKS A BUILDING
Score Of Men Working in New York
Glucose company's Plant Injured
in Explosion and Fire.

New York. May 2s,-A score Of men
employed in the engine and dyanme
rooms Of the New York Glucose com
pany's plant at shadyside, N. j., on
the west bank of the Hudson river
opposite Ninetieth street, were in
jured Tuesday by the explosion Of a
steam pipe.
The roof Of the building was blown
off and the wreckage caught fire.
Some of the 80 men who were at work
in the building narrowly escaped
death, but were taken out of the blaz-
ing ruins by their fellow laborers
from adjoining buildings belonging to
the same company.
In the confusion which followed the
explosion many reports Of serious loss
of life were spread among the rela-
tives of the employees, thus exaggerat-
ing the extent of the disaster. The
company's force and local firemen
fought the flames, which threatened
to destroy several other buildings of
the large glucose plant.
After the explosion the officials of
the company were unable to account
for five of the men who were en-
ployed in the wrecked building. It
was said however. that they might
have gone to their homes. No bodies
were taken fro 4 the ruins.

QUAKE FELT IN ILLINOIS
SHOCK CAUSES PANIC IN SOUTH
ERIN PART OF STATE.
Houses Rocked, Chimneys Shaken
Down and Dishes Ratified
Water Mains Broken.

st. Louis. May 23.-Thousands Of
residents OF southern Illinois are in
a state bordering on hysteria in con-
sequence Of the severe earthquake
that rocked their homes and business
houses, throwing down chimneys In
places and inficting other damage
elsewhere. A repetition Of the seis-
mis- shook 10 feared.
The earthquake was felt shortly
before one o'clock Monday afternoon,
causing great alarm. The terrors of
the San Francisco horror were at
once revived, and. in fear of q repe.
ution. people ran from their homes
into the streets, elamoring and pray
Ing, Wherever there was a negro
population the fright reached the
panic stage
The shock seems to have been more
pronounced IN Clay county than in
other sections. At Flora the water
mains Of the Baltimore & Ohio South
western railroad were burst and
caused considerable damage in the
yards before the flow was stopped,
<As A0oAbVAAA0t 4AA.s CQ0 QuAA9 was
preceded by low rumble, which
seemed to come from the west and
go toward the east. This was fol.
lowed by sharp quake, which shook
the houses till bric-a-brac fell and
pictures swung. A great many per-
sons there became SO alarmed that
they ran into the streets for safety,
fearing their houses would fall on
them,
There was decided shook felt at
Clay City. While no damage was
done, houses rocked in such uncanny
fashion as to frighten their occupants
outdoors.
Clay City, Louisville and Flora are
all in the heart of big coal mining
district. It is suggested that the
quake was probably caused by a fall
in the limestone under the coal veins.
While alarming to the residents,
scientists do not fear any great ca
lamity like that which visited south
east Missouri in 1911.
