RErrpricAv speakers and writers followed
by some callow and half-baked Democratic
ones) are in n terrible Hurry TO talk about
" President elect Garfield " as if 10 keep up
their spirits and confirm themselves in the
safe possession of stolen goods. We had
thought that no man was President-elect u
at least until the Electoral College had met
and acted, TO say nothing of the subsequent
count of their votes needed TO substantiatC
the result. But rs this depends upon GER
tain document known as the Constitution, i
may be only an old-fogy notion nowadays.

THE 11QUoR LICENSE QUESTION.

THE IfQOOR LICENSE QCESIION.
The evils of intemperance are great. No
one can close his eyes TO that fact, and how
to regulate the manufacture and sale of alco-
hol is problem that has been discussed for
scores Of years, and it does not seem TO he
any nearer a solution now than IL was when
IL was first agitatcd. Absolute prohibition
has not prevented excessive indulgence in
strong drink, and much less have the spas
modic efforts Of preachers and those who
think with them been productive of good re-
suits. One of these spasmodic movements
has struck Washington Just now, and there
is an open warfare against the liquor traffic.
What good Is to come of III The law i'm
poses duty upon the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia with regard to licenses
as it does with regard to every other muni-
cipal affair. The law says that certain con-
ditions having been complied with license
| shall issue for the sale of liquor, and when
these legal conditions are complied with the
powers that be must look to the letter of the
law and not interpret IL according to the pro.
tests Of the anti-license people. The Dis.
| trct Commissioners are supposed to be law.
| abiding citizens, and the presumption is that
| they would not grant q license not in o
proper form, protest or no protest. TIL,
preachers are in this fight permitting thcil
zeal to outrun their discretion. They ar,
not acting with common prudence. The,
will preach on the Sabbath about the ole
adam" in man, and on week days will
lose sight of the fact that this very :" ol,
"Adam" " impels men to indulge in the for
hidden fruit.
So long as the liquor dealers keep within
the law they may justly demand that thci
rights shall be respected. The law of tn
United States and the law of the District
Columbia both recognize the business c
dealing in liquors. The United States de
mands for the privilege a heavy internu
revenue tax and the District demands
heavy license. The business is therefor
recognized rs u legitimate one, and neithe
preachers nor any one else have right I
despoil those who engage in it of their prol
erty. The cause Of the professors NEAR
spoliation and nothing else. 1t means I'll

q the Commissioners of the District shall m

SENATOR WADE HAMPTON rises up to advise
that the South remain solid for the Demo-
cratic party. Doubtless this seems proper
and fitting to the Senator and other Southern
Democrats similarly situated. But Senator
Hampton's public utterances are so embar-
raising TO Northern Democrats that they
could well dispense with this fresh evidence
of his regard. Indeed it would probably he

at Windsor, frankly told the queen he would
recommend Gladstone or Lord Granville be
consulted. He was then empowered to see
Gladstone and Granville.
The Democratic members of the Sen
ate committee on rules, and of the Senate Sc
lect committee on the subject of couiTing the
electoral votes, held long private meeting
April II, and substantially decided to recon-
mend Congress to adopt new point, or rule
providing that in case only one certificate Of
the electoral vote of the State be presented to
Congress it shall not be rejected, except by an
affirmative vote of the two houses, and that
in case of dual returns, neither shall be count
ed, unless the two houses agree that one OF
them is the true and valid return. The pro-
position is substantially the same offered by
Senator Morton in the Fourty fourth Con-
gress, and adopted by the Senate in the form
OF bill, which, however, failed to receive final
action in that body in consequence of Senator
Thurman having entered motion to recon
slider its passage. The former twenty. .secoLd

toral vote to be rejected, to which any ohjec.
ton was sustained by either house.
