Providence, May 24.—Tire liquor deal-!
er „ continue to show a bold front, and
many profess to be confident of a favorable
,*, i-ion in the suit in equity entered in the
-trireme court on Monday iast, which asks
ti ll', honorable body to declare invalid the
vV-te on the prohibitory amendment. At
ihc same time it does not take a very close
observation to convince one that the deal- i
d's at heart have very little faith in the j
I ii and that this show of confidence is •
merely in line with the whistling feats of j
|ij,. vnuth who desired to keep up his cotir-
a’lsc'while passing a graveyard. All over I
th 1 .' city, in saloons of every class, from the
elesmntly furnished palaces on broad,
\Wybosset and Dorrance streets to the I
gr. •sireries which thrive in byways in less:
lavered sections . of the community, I
preparations are in progress for closing j
up. The large wholesale dealers are
raking out their cellars and storerooms, j
while the large show windows of many of
those concerns are tilled with bottled
ii,,uors, over which hang placards b: aring
ti.'i legend, “Your choice for fifty cents. :
just out of bond.” The provident tippler
and those who desire to have a stock on I
hand for “medical use,” are buying exten
sively, and the indications now are that a t
large part of the liquors at present in the •
stores of the dealers will lie transferred to
tlie cellars of citizens who have not been I
tainted with the “no rum” contagion, j
While the liquor dealers are thus prepar
ing for the annihilation of their business
the rabid prohibitionists are huggiug them- J
selves in ecstatic delight in anticipation of
the coming emancipation from rum.
A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
But the men who voted for and carried
the amendment are cot happy, for many
of them have discovered that, in the ex
pressive but inelegant parlance of the day.
they have bitten their own noses. Their '
discomfiture is really 'ludicrous, and these
whilom wearers of the blue ribbon are now i
among the most ardent well wishers for
the success of the liquor dealers in their
attempt to have the vote declared invalid.
Some of these men worked zealously for
the amendment, though they were the I
owners of buildings where liquor saloons
had been located for years. AVhen the I
amendment prevailed they awoke to a |
rather unwelcome fact that if it went into [
effect their income would be sadly de- [
creased, and their pockets being more sen
sitive than their consciences, they have j
made a change of front and of base
with unseemly haste. In whatever j
light it is viewed the prohibitory j
amendment will work a decided injury to 1
the business interests of the state. Not
only will it withdraw five or six million of ;
dollars capital directly interested in the
business, but it will leave untenanted many !
stores which cannot Ire leased for other j
purposes on account of the high rents, thus j
entailing heavy loss on the owners. One
of the most severe blows to the city of]
Providence will be the closing of the Nar-
ragansett hotel. This house has been run :
for years at a loss, hut the profits of the bar j
have been sufficient to make up the de- j
ficicncy. If the amendment is enforced, {
the management declare they will close j
up, and travelers will follow the custom in
vogue before the Narraeansett was opened
—of going to Boston rather than remain at j
our inferior hotels. The business of all the
shore resorts along the bay will be greatly I
decreased, and, in fact, almost every branch ’
of trade will feel the depression to a greater |
or less degree.
SYMPATHY FOP. THE POOR.
Both the liquor dealers and prohibition- I
ists are now very solicitous for the well be- j
ing of the workingman. The blue ribbon
men declare that It was not so much for
the purpose of closing the “high toned” |
places that they worked for the amend
ment as to crush out the hundreds of sa- .
loons which beset the laborer on his way
home after enticing him into the expendi- I
ture of money which he can ill afford and
for which his family is suffering. On the !
other hand the liquor dealer argues that j
prohibition will work a particular hard
ship on the workingman by depriving him ]
of an opportunity to get a drink after a
hard day's work, when it would really j
benefit him, while the rich men I
are practically exempt from this !
oppression because they can get all they;
want at their clubs or in their houses. But [
aside from these two classes—the dealers I
and the prohibitionists—there is a feeling I
among the more conservative part of the I
community, and in fact throughout the
state, that'prohibition will he a failure and
that much better results could have been i
securedby a high license law rigidly en- |
forced. The prohibitionists are somewhat !
divided as to the best method of enforcing I
a prohibitory law. Some of them are in |
favor of leaving that work to the present i
police force, the sheriffs and their depu
ties, while the rabid wing will have noth- !
ing less than a state constabulary, in j
charge of a chief constable. Among the 1
persons mentioned for this office is General 1
Charles R. Brayton, who has the support of
? large majority of the prohibitionists. It
is understood that General Brayton will ac
cept the office provided he is given the ap
pointment for three years, with a salary of
fMOO per year. It is impossible to give a
forecast of the action of the legislature at
its coming May session, but in its present
temper it is disposed to grant anything that
ultra prohibitionists may ask. The senti
ment of the majority of'the citizens of the
state, which is voiced by the Journal, iB for
the passage of such laws as will make pro
hibition effective without being extrava
gant or oppressive.
THE CASES IN COURT.
The bill which Charles E. Gorman and
Arnold Green have fildd in the supreme
court places that judicial body in the posi
tion of deciding whether or not they hold
their pilaces legally or not. This is, of
course, not the question raised by the bill,
hutthe principles involved are the same,
and a decision declaring the vote on the
amendment invalid on the principal ground
set forth in the bill would at the same time
declare that everv legislature elected under
the new constitution for about forty
years was not a legally constituted body.
hi such case all the acts j
df the legislature during those ,
lour decades would be invalid, and the !
supreme court itself, which is elected by i
the general assembly, would thus be hold-
mg office and exercising the judicial
functions pertaining to it without authori- I
ty. and necessarily illegally. The chief
ground on which' the complainants ask ]
that the vote be declared invalid is that the :

Washington, May 3S.—There is to he m
effort to pass some sort of silver legislation
in the house before this ses-ion of congress
ends. T hope t get the house to net on 1
the hill authorizing the issue of snmll sil
ver certificates before the adjournment. '
said Mr. Bland, the leader of the silver
men in the house.
“Do you intend to attempt to pass the i
bill authorizing the issue of coin certifi
cates without reference to the kind of coin
in which they shall he redeemed? - ’
“Yes, we shall try to substitute that for
the bill authorizing the issue of silver cer
tificates: we want to give silver one more
chance in the house yet this session.”
COSTOP RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT.
The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which has just been re
ported from the appropriations commit- j
tee. gives some interesting items which
show something of the cost of running a
big government like this. For instance, I
the sum appropriated for the pay of mem
bers of congress during the coming voav is
over two millions dollars. To pay the peo
ple who wait on them, their onict rs and
employes, costs between seven hundred
and eight huudre 1 thousand dollars a ;.v ir.
Add to tin's the contingent expenses, and :
you have a total of a million dollars for the
cost of running congress, aside from the i
salaries of the members. Congress thus j
costs over three million dollars a year.
The cost of collecting the internal revenue I
for the coming year is put down at nearly |
two million dollars. The other depart- !
ments of the treasury cost about two mil
lion a year. The interior department costs |
between one and two million a year. The |
salaries of United States judges alone ,
i amount to nearly a half a million a year. I
THE YELLOW FEVER INVESTIGATION.

those sent on tne expedition shall betaken

VICE-PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY.
The report of the select committee of
the house on the constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of a sec
ond vice-president gives some interesting
historical facts, which, although familiar
to all, are quite interesting when grouped
as they are in the report. Out of eighteen
persons elected to the presidential office
four have died before filling cut their re
spective terms as president, three of them
during the first year of their term, and the
other during the second year. Out of
twenty-five different persons elected as
vice-presidents five died during their
terms of office, one of them re
signed his office, and four became presi
dent. At the close of the present
presidential term, there will have been one
hundred years of government under the
constitution, and during that period there
will have been twenty-five years eight
months and four days, over one-fourth of
the time when the country has hud no
vice-president, and this without counting
the short period in 1789 at the beginning
of our constitutional history, when we
were without a vice-president until John
Adams assumed the duties of that office in
that year, and in the last forty years of the
period named the office of vice-president
has been vacant eighteen years five months
and five days, or nearly one-half of the
time.

It was but yesterday that a debate in
open session was held upon a question that
more Than any other has perplexed onr
diplomacy. 1 mean, of course, the fish
eries; and it will be admitted that the very
puolicity of the debate was productive of
good results. Such discussions would ex- 1
pose to the count ty tlie principles and con- 1
siderations that control senators on all \
questions concerning' not only the rela
tions of our govei'ii'iient to foreign govern
ments, but also the intercourse and trans
actions between citizens of our own and of
foreign nations, the nature and character
of ail disputes ar.d the manner and method
of their settlement.
As to nominations to office and their con
sideration by the senate Mr. Gibson justly
aud forcibly said:
But it is held that when the senate comes ,
to consider whether it will advise and con
sent to nominations and appointments the
doors should be closed and ine most rigid
secrecy be observed. How, Mr. President,
there are two methods for filling offices
created by the constitution and the laws—
one by election and the other by appoint
ment—and I submit that the reasons which
compel and justify the utmost publicity in
the discussion of the merits and qualifica
tions in one case should prevail in the oth
er.
The offices belong to the people, were
created for their benefit, and not for the
benefit of the office-holders, nor as per
sonal or political perquisites, not as official
patronage nor for the senate, but wholly
to do the necessary work of the nation,
and the people pay their officers for such
work out of their own pockets, and they
have a right to know all about their quali
fications when they come to lie appointed
or elected. If it were once understood
that entire publicity were the rule
respecting all appointments the ehiei
difficulty in the way of the thor
ough reformation of the public service
would be removed. In the first nlac . un
worthy men, knowing their own unfitness
or misconduct, would not desire that their
names should he exposed to a running fire
front the press and their fellow-citizens,
when presented publicly for the considera
tion of the senate. How many such men
now insist upon being appointed and se
cure recommendations, wno would not
venture to go before the people for elec
tion, counting upon the shield of secrecy
to protect themselves against the con
demnation of the public !
In the second place, it would impose
greater circumspection and responsibility
and better methods upon the appointing
power. It is utterly impossible from the
nature of things that the president should
know tlie real character of the applicants
for office, and he would realize that as the
recommendations and considerations that
control His selection were to lie laid before
the senate, not in secret but in open ses
sion, which is tantamount to laying them
before the country, it would behoove him
to require testimonials from the highest
sources, so that a complete record should
be made up for the country constituting
the credentials of the appointees, and sen
ators and representatives and gentlemen
in private life who nowcarelessly give their
recommendations right and left without
scrutiny would be more careful when it
was well understood that the measure of
theii responsibility v.as likewise to he de
clared to the country and not hid away in
the archives of t he committee rooms.
In the third place, it would relieve the
senate from the constant discussion of at
tacks upon private character which secrecy
holds out as a temptation to those who
would gratify personal malice or revenge
bv striking under cover or in the dark.
The lion's mouth at Venice, when the
council of ten,.the famous oligarchy, ruled
the city by the sea, was not a more appro
priate device to invite the secret denun
ciation of particular persons than the im
munity which secret sessions of the senate
afford!
No public interests require that any of
the proceedings of the senate should tie
kept secret' from them. Secret sessions
are as much now out of place and date as
the sword John Adams wore when presid
ing over this body would be upon the per
son of our president pro tern.
Senators Gibson and Butler are two who
have been of the strongest supporters of
the administration, and both have urged
the fullest publicity about appointments,
so that the impression prevails that the
administration favors and de.-“es open
sessions. Senators I’latt and T igan, it is
understood, will presently ask lor a vote
on the proposition to open the doors.
The Cliii-iigii Anarchists.
Chicago, May 2S.—While the indict
ments which were found against the an
archists yesterday returned into court were
only ten in number, apparently much to
the dismay of the attorneys for the de
fense, they really number sixty, as each of
the ten is separately indicted for the mur
der of six officers. Those ten are August
Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden,
Albert K. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George
, Eagle, Louis Lingg, William Seliger,
| Rudolph .Schnaubel and Oscar W. N'eebe.
i These are in jail except Schnaubel and
j Parsons. Fresh information has reached
! Captain Scbenck which will warrant two
I or more important arrests in the near
future. It is not at all improbable that the
throwing of the bomb will he more defi

Two colored men who belonged to Giles’

and the other half to the church absolute
ly. Afterward a codicil was made giving
one-fourth of the estate to his lawyer,
Hon. J. M. Nesbitt, of Owingavilie, as
a fee for sustaining the will, should he do
so, since it was well kn mn that tlie
validity of the will would be contested by
the heirs, his wife only being thoroughly
in sympathy with him in the whole mat
ter. Col. W\ C. P. Breckinridge was also
retained as counsel, and the will is in his
handwriting. While attending to the busi
ness connected with the will, Mr. Work
man wrote a letter to Col. Breckinridge,
which was so clear and sound that Col.
Breckinridge declared it to he good evi
dence of his sanity, and advised him to
write as many letters as possible, os they
would be valuable as evidence before a
jury. But in 1SS2 he became a raving
maniac, and died in that condition last fall
in the eightieth year of his age.
Although it was his purpose for very
many years to leave Iris fortune to the
church, still it was supposed by many that
it would he an easy task t< break the will.
Consequently, it was n matter i if great con
gratulation on all sides when the compro
mise was effected by which tiiu .southern
Presbyterian church in Kentucky received
one-half of t hi-: handsome estate, said now
to be valued at i?50,000. The money is to
be invested in intercst-benrintr securities,
and only the interest is to oe used for
church work in Kentucky.
it was well known among his friends
that when Mr. tVorkinsn nnee made ,.ji
his mind no power on larlii < "tilt;-u, i". ■
him from his purpose. I.ilte a .Scoieiiinan,
it was very important for him to he tight,
since he never changed his mind. As an
instance of tiiis, friends who had most
supposed influence with him endeavored
to have him bequeath it to the church in
Kentucky direct or to some worthy cause
under its care, but hi-; only reply was
that he had made his wilC-ah'd- the 1
trustees of the genet,1 assembly must
carry out its provisions as directed.
He sustained Gilead church, in Hath coun
ty. for many years, and when the building,
at a distance from the pike, could no longer
lie u-led, he purchased two acres of ground
on the pike near Bethel, in Bath county,
and erected a neat church ediiici at a cost
of 83501it One acre of tli is church lot was
set aside by him as a burial ground, and in
this beautiful church yard til’s remains lie
buried. That work and the legacy will
stand as a lasting memorial to this godly
man.

Washington people, in and out of office,
are delighted at the prospect of soon hav

will be.entitled to all the hoiiiusofthejio-

curiosity about the wedding is altogether
the expression of friendly concern, not vul-
ga: impertinence oT a desire to mi ddle in
anybody’s private affairs. Some regret is ex
pressed that the president will he obliged
t*, bring his bride to a house that is more
piiblv than most others, a house that is
nvcrun, even in the so-called private part,
by from ten to KXl privileged visitors every

A .'iliscr*' Story.
New York, May 28.—Luther C. Brvnnt,
a miser, died at At. Vincent's hospital this
morning. For a great many years lie sold
old coins and meiials opposite 'the old post-
office on Nassau street. Jt i.s eleven years
since the stand disappeared. One day the
morning j upei'6 told how tlie old man Bry
ant who kept it had been arrested on the
charge of collusion with thieving
office hoys who robbed their employers.
When his story was finally told and it ap
peared that tlie arrest was a job "putnip”
on him by thieves who knew his reputation
for saving, and had used tne opportunity
to rob him at leisure while the police held
him captive, tlie indignation took aiiuthei
turn. Old Mr. Bryant had lived alone
for years in a single room, hoarding
his savings and denying himself
almost the necessaries of life in order to
scrape together the money that the thieves
carried of!’ on the night after his arrest.
How much it was was never satisfac
torily established. The old man claimed
that it amounted to fully $200,000.
With characteristic distrust of banks
lie had kept it in a secret bureau
drawer. When old Bryant was released
and hastened home it was only to find
himself a pauper. He never appeared again
at his old stand, but devoted his re
maining years and strength to the pursuit
of tlie thieves who had ruined him. Two
were captured and convicted. They are
now serving out twenty years’ sentence.
But of the money tlie old man got but
little or nothing. Under the weight of
years and cares his mental and physical
j health gave way in the end, and before
the burglars come out to enjoy their
I stolen wealth he will he long since buried
in Potter's field.

Washington, May 2K.—Xb*n. H. Clay
Armstrong, consul general to I'nizil, ar
rived in the city to-a.iy on his way to his
homo in Alabama. Hois on a sixty day’s
leave of abser.ee from his post, and has
come home to look after some pri vate busi
ness. In conversation with the News cor
respondent he gave an int< resting account
of ihe condition of the colony of southern
ers wno went to Brazil just after the late
war. ‘ These people,” said Hen. Arm
strong, ‘‘left the United States 'miuediate-
ly after hostilities ceased. They believed
that the south could i.ot recover from the
effects of the iron heel of the war, and that
the people who participated in the war
would never have any show in the recon
structed union. They accordingly gath
ered together their household goods and
departed.
WHKRE THEY ARK.
“I found them situated 100 miles from
Rio Janeiro in the- back country. They
have a tract about fifteen miles squar*-.
Uol. W. If. Norris, who was quite a promi
nent man in Alabama, amf who at one
time was a member of the gi-nm al asvm-
bly, is one of the lending men of the
colony. I also met I'r. C. < ’. Crisp, a ve ry
accomplished man from Tennessee. I «•>:-
plained to some of the leading men of'the
colony that they had in my opinion, made
a mistake in leaving tlie United States.
They seemed quite well contented, how
ever, and said they would probably re
main. There are now about 500 people all
told in the colony.”
HOLDING SLAVES.
“Do they hold slaves?”
“Some of them do. I advised them to
get rid of them, however, and told them
that it is a relic of barbarism that even in
Brazil will soon pass away. 1 explained
how the United States had advanced since
the war, and they were very much aston
ished wnen I told them that 1 would light
before I would again permit slavery in my
state.”
“What are those people mostly engaged
in?”
“They are making a good deal of money
out of raising watermelons. These arc-
very large and exceedingly good. Tlie
Brazilians had never raised any, hut buy
them readily, and arc? very fond of them.
The native population do little except raise
coffee. It i.s hard to get them to under
take anything else.
COTTON RAISING.
“The Americans are engaged also in the
production of cotton, and this finds a ready
market as the mills that have been started
in tlie empire prefer it to any other. They
arc, in a general way, quite prosperous,
hut they need schools.* I shall take back
some school teachers with me if possible.”
“Do tlie young generation speak good
English ?”
“well, it is getting rather inferior and
somewhat mixed. They need schools
worse than anything else. The older mem-
h'rsnf the colony take some paptrsfrom
tlie United State- and I h-une that they
had kept a general run of what was going
on here. They seem to he proud that they
are Americans, and only in one or two
instances have they become naturalized
to the Brazilian Em pin..”

j oddest 1 had ever witnessed. In a ham*
! mock, which lie had evidently stolen from
! some door yard in California, lay a tramp
! sleeping soundly and snoring noisily. The
i hammock was swung under the car, close
I to the flour, and one leg of its occupant
hung out and trailed rather close to t he
'ground. Jn that queer tied his tram pship
; had been riding ail night, without ticNefc
