From the higher outlook Of patriotism and
honesty and sincere love of country We can
sac that they have builded better than they
knew.
The Democrats won in Ohio, year ago, as
they have won elsewhere, because the anti
Grant Republicans and Liberals helped them'
They lost, this year, on the day they repudl-
ated their pledges Of 1872 ana
odopted an imitation platform. The next
morning the vote that had carried them
through, the year before, was solidly arrayed
AGAINST them. Yesterday that vote was cast,
and the altered figures tell them just what it
cost to take ground they knew the anti-Urant
Republicans and Liberals would not touch.
Now, gentlemen, that battle has been fought.
You have lost it on the field of your own
choosing and with your best generals. What
will YOU do next Heal the breach or split
Initiation, rag-money, all the nonsense OF your
Aliens and Carys and all the dishonest purposes
you had in mind have been rejected by the
people. You never can do as well anywhere else
rs YOU have done in Ohio. You have killed
some people who meant to be alive in 1876.
You have laid low multitude of aspiring per-
sons who were sitting on the fence. Are you
satisfied? It's but the feeblest sort of fight
you can make hereafter: is it worth your
whilei Would it not be better on the whole
to say. "We1l be honest and pay and take
a new departure7

WILL THESE GENTLEMEN SE4ND BACKl
The "tidal wave" is checked. The Repub-
licans have carried Ohio. Hayes is elected
and Allen defeated, by figures which we cannot
state exactly yet, but which, whatever they are,
are enough. The result is full of meaning
Has the Administration of President Grant or
the Republican party done anything since last
year to commend either of them to pub
lie confidence or popular support Not
one thing. SO far as they are con-
cerncd the situation is unchanged, except that
they have stood back and let their Oppo-
nents make their own fight and their own de-
struction. The wise Democratic politicians of
Ohio have dug their own pit. They seem
happy at it. They have done it repeatedly in
the past fifteen years, and so far as can be seen,
are capable of learning nothing from experience.
What with Valandigham during the war, Pen
dleton in the period Immediately following its
close and William Allen in the new political
epoch just opening, they have shown most
remarkable ability to Overturn and destroy.
In this election they have forced fight
upon the currency question. From q partisan
point of view. simply as a question of political
expediency, it has been the saddest of blunders.

The accident by which eleven men wore in
jured on the Centennial grounds in Philadel-
pha yesterday, should be lesson to those
responsible for the construction of the Expo
sition buildings. 1t is true that the Agricultu-
raj Hall, which was blown down, was unfln-
ished, but the work was well advanced, ana
the occurrence of such mishap suggests
doubts as to the strength of the material or
the skillfuness of the builders.

AS the work of the Association which aims at
n reform of international law advances year
by year, the limits of its usefulness become
apparent, large as is the field. The Association
will not bring about the millennium in which
there shall be no war, but its abors may result in
arbitration to settle numerous minor disputes
out of which war might otherwise arise. The
greater matters will as before be decided by
the clash of arms In attempts to
hamper the beginnings of war by
formalites, the Association proves pow
erless, since the military art now more than
ever before demands promptncss in the onset.
Equally unsuccessful Is the attempt at enter
ing protest against standing armies, while the
great States of Europe find them indispensable.
There is some chance for measures to protect
the property of ncutrals and non-comatants
during war, and perhaps to soften the horrors
of actual battle. But the more promising pOr-
ton of the work described in our correspond
ence from the Hague is that concerning private
international law the assimilation of contracts
and bills of exchange, regulating extradition,
fixing the pathways of ocean steamers, and
even, perhaps, requiring nations to pay their
debts as they agree to.

This is the second of the four days set apart
for the registration of voters in this city. The
remaining days are Oct. 22 and Oct 23
No citizen who has not been registered
before the day of election has the
right to vote. The registration of any
previous year will not serve the purpose ;
there is no copying of the names of voters
at last years election; the list must be new
one in every particular. new registration is
required as well from the man who has lived
in the same house for fifty years as from him
who has changed his residence within the last
three months. These points cannot be made
too plain, for every citizen who remains ignO-
rant or needless of them will find himself
without vote in the approaching important
election There are numerous places of regis
tration in each Ward, ard all of tdem are to
be open to-day between the hours OF a. IN.
and p. III. The registration on the first
day, this year, fell several thousands short of
that on the same day last year. There is al
ways rush and there may be difficulty at the
last. You cannot vote without registering,
and you cannot register at any time so easily
as this morning.

Michgan's experience in an effort to control
the sale of liquor by law is the subject of
letter printed on another page. The success OF
the methods adopted is the more noteworthy
because it follows the comparative failure OF
prohibitOry legislation in that State. With the
reduction in the number of places where liquor
is sold, diminution of crime is also already
observable. A telegraphic dispatch this morn
ing mentions that this new law has just run
the gauntlet Of the courts and is pronounced
constitutional. A point on which the argu-
mcnt of the opposition was supposed to be
strongest was the assumption that this was
practically license law. The Constitution OF
the State forbids licensing the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. The Supreme Court decides,
however, that the levying of a tax upon the
business is not the same thing as licensing it..
The decision may have some effect in counter
acting the notion which so many excellent
people have, that when liquor-dealing is taxed
it is also necessarily taken under the special
protection of the Government.

Mr.. Francis Gerry Fairfield could scarcely
have expected that on the eve of the dedlca-

theory that the poet was the victim of cere-
bral epilepsy would pass unchallenged. We
print in another column a caustic reply TO MS
essay, in which he is represented as mounting
his hobby and riding roughshod over the facts
of the case. Whether there was method IN
the madness or madness in the method, one
thing is certain: in regard to the "hard facts

In previous correspondence from Washington
we have given many of the facts respecting
the disgraceful construction of the new iron
bridge over the Anacostia branch OF the Poto-
mac To-day we present fuller details over
the signature of a civil engineer. If it were
only that this bridge is disgrace to the Gov
ernment and the nation, perhaps it might be
classed with other public works that are
chiefly Objectionable because of the waste OF
the peoples money. But this bridge is not
only an extravagant structure, it is fatally
defective and dangerous to human lfe
Prompt measures are necessary to make 1t ser
yiceable for ordinary traffic, and to prevent
what now is only too possible-a great bridge
accident, in which hundreds will be injured or
killed, whenever a crowd shall collect upon 1t.
