The result of the recent municipal
elections in Ohio shows heavy gains for
the Democrats, the Republicans having
met with reverses in Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Columbus and most of the larger
towns throughout the state. The cause
of this political revolution is directly
attributable to the passage, by the last
Republican legislature, of what is kno xn
as the Pond bill, measure which seeks
to restrict the liquor traffic by taxing
whisky vendors for the sake of regula-
ton and tariff This effort to arrest the
demoralizing influences of the rum traf-
fic has met with an opposition as decid-
ed as the experiment of prohibition in
Kan sas, and the whisky papers of Ohio
have been filled with the same twaddle
regarding constitutional and personal
liberty" which has been SO freely en-
ployed by the anii-prohibition journals
of Kansas. This only fortifies us in the
position we have always taken, namely
that the liquor interest is hostile to ev-
cry measure which contemplates
even its proper regulation, and is
essentially lawless in its character.
The plan of prohibition wherever it has
been tried has been quite as successful as
the half way eXpedient of endeavoring
to keep the traffic within proper o.
bounds. The Republican party of OHIO
can well afford to suffer defeat upon the
issue it has made on this question, and
today is in better shape than the opposi
ton which has achieved temporary sue
cess on a whiskeY platform.

Figures differ as to the amount of the
private claims now before congress. A
recent estimate puts it at 5000, 900, 900,
with more coming in almost every day.
Within eight months about $4,000 "war
claims"-that is, claims for alleged SER
vices done and alleged losses suffered
by alleged loyal people during the war
which closed seventeen years ago-are
said TO have been sent in for the first
time. How many of these claims are
wholly or partly fictitious, or are in the
possession of spectators who paid little
or nothing for them, there is, of course,
no way to ascertain. The impression
seems to have got abroad somehow or
other that all one has to do to get
money out of the public treasury is to
ask this congress for it. Common politi.
cal prudence ought to lead the Republi.
