directly or indirectly opposed by nearly every
Democrat in the House, that it was signed by
the President, and has thus far been enforced
by him in manner deemed by the association
worthy of high commentator, as respects the
framing of proper rules and the appointment
of excellent commissioners.
When the Democrats put into their platforms
resolutions on this subject as they usually do
IN Difference to public sentiment which they
dare not openly resist, it is noteworthy that
they always follow the spirit Of the amendment
offered by Mr.. Robinson, o. New York, IN the
House, that the reform shall not take eff6c
until Democratic President has had four
months time in which to turn out Republican
officials Mr. Hoadly, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor in Ohio, bluntly expressed
the prevalent Democratic feeling in saying |;
When the injustice Of the last twenty-one
"years of exclusive choice from one
"party has been remedied by the
next Administration, and the Democracy
"of the country and their allies as represents
sing more than one-half of the people may
"perform their fair share of public duty, the
"time, in my Judgment, will have arrived for
ga new departure upon the question OF public
patronage and for adoption of permanent
"system of low salaries" In other words,
Mr.. Hoadly is in favor of putting Democrats
into the offices before he will consent that the
desired reform shall begin. The Republicans
have begun it already and mean to uphold it.
That is the issue, on that subject.

Mr.. William H. English does not mean to hide
his light under bushel. He has issued letter
to the public conveying the information that In
coming to the rescue OF the First National Bank
of indianapolis. which was threatened with
bankruptcy, he did so wholly from dis'nterest-
ed motives Apparently Mr.. English feared
that the public might be under different I'M
preston. In that respect he was not far astray
If he has suddenly become philanthropist the
public will want something besides letter adj
ayertising his bank to establish the fact

SELLING LIQCOR WITHOUT 4 LICENSE.
The answer of the Excise Board to the
structures made upon the management of their
Department by the Commissioners of Accounts
is not a conclusive document. IL is absurd TO
suppose that any number of persons pay
an extra sum to the Federal authorities for a
liquor license because they are Ignorant that
an ale and beer license can be had for less
money They have the same means of inform
ing themselves III regard to one grade OF
license as to the other. 1t Is even more Tidicu-
Ious to assert that dealers will take no risks
under the provisions of the Federal act be-
cause it is more strict than the State law.
The Federal statute provides for a civil pro-
cedure, while an offender under the State act
is liable to be arrested, fined and imprisoned,
and civil action can be brought against his
bondsmen. The city has excise inspectors and
policemen to tho number Of nearly three
thousand to enforce the State law, while there
are mere handful of .rsons similarly occu-
pied in behalf of the Federal statute. And
with this great difference the fact remains that
the Federal authorities collect a liquor license
from /, 1913 more dealers than does the city.
According TO che Excise Commissioners the
sale of malt liquors in the city has increased
about so per cent in three years. Doubtless
the sale of liquor of oil kinds has increased
in about the same proportion. Yet for the
year ended on May 1, 1883, there was de-
crease of 262 in the number of licenses issued.
The Commissioners explain that The Internal
Revenue Department collects a tax from dis
reputable resorts, etc, which the Excise Board
refuses to license. But such places, in that
event, are selling in violation of the law, and
it is the duty of the Excise Commissioners to
report them to the Police Board. The list of
such places sent to the Police Department
does not average fifty, while the number of
them is probably not less than 1000

Fishing appears to be good in that part of
the Rocky Mountains visited by the Presi-
dents party. 1t is to be hoped that Governor
Cleveland will meet with equal success in the
Adirondacks, where ne is about to try his
luck. There is no reason why Gubernato-
rial junketing party should not be just as sue
cessful in catching fish as a Presidential party.
There is a Democratic committee now en-
gagged in the arduous work of inspecting"
the Adirondacks at the expense of the State.
The success of the committee in catching fish
will not be known until the bill of expense is
presented to Controller Davenport. There is
no reason to believe, however, that the catch
will be other than large one.

The two rival Republican Associations in
che XIIIth Assembly District have wisely
agreed TO a settlement of their differences.
The basis of the agreement is a substantial
evidence that the plan for reorganization of
the party in the city is to be faithfully car
ried out. The criticism has been made that
under the primary election law the reorgani-
cation plan cannot be made effective without
q change in the constitutions of the various
Assembly District Associations While there
is no good ground for this criticism it is pleas
ing to know that action is being taken to
meet it. Three of the Assembly District AS
sociatohs have already taken the necessary
preliminary action to provide for the change
In their constitutions, and there is every rea-
son to believe that the alterations will be
made by the central organization in time to
govern the election of delegates to the State
Convention. 1t is certain that nothing will
prevent Republicans from voting at the pri-
maries this year except their own neglect to
come to the polls. A free ballot and fair
count at the primaries are assured. That means
good nominations and Republican victory in
November.
