A republican contemporary which is
opposed to prohibition, and opposed to
high license, in other words, which is in
favor of practically free whisky, says,
s.There was but little politics in the
Ohio campaign just closed. The whole
issue was whisky versus anti whisky
and the gin mills and distillers have
won." Supposing for instance that that
journals liquor platform should be
adopted in Missouri, would not the
ttgin mills" and: distillers VIM The
fact is, that in Ohio in all the large
towns where the whisky element was
strong the republicans made gains. The
same state that elected everything dem
ocratic adopted the following amend
ment to the constitution, "The gener-
al assembly shall regulate the traffic in
intoxicating liquors SO as to provide
against evils resulting therefrom; and
its power to levy taxes or assessments
thereon is not limited by any provision
of this constitution" There is nothing
GIN mill-istic in that. The gin mill
does not want to be regulated by law.
Is the republican contemporary alluded
to dissatisfied because the prohibition
amendment was not adopted?

controlled twenty of the th~irty-eight
states. The revolution could hardly
have been more sweeping.

PUTTING PUBLIC PROPERTY TO PR.
VATE USES.

A critic finds fault with the Intel)i-
gencer tor finding fault with Attorney
General Brewster, and says:-''In
commenting on the fact that when
Attorney-G General Brewster boarded
the o. s. revenue cutter, Samuel Dex-
tel, a salute Of sevente en- guns was
fired, the Intelligencer says, we had
thought this was a republic Does 1t
make it any the less of q republic
when a salute is fired in honor of the
visit of a cabinet of1cerP Attorney
General Brewster Is . high officer un-
der the general government, and it he
wants to take a ride on a government
cutter we do not see why the captain
of the vessel should be prevented from
firing a salute in honor of his distin-
guished guest. The trouble with the
Intelligencer is hat MI. Brewster is a
republican, and for being a member of
that party the Intelligencer thinks he
is trying to lord it over the people.
The encouragement is q man who
expects to be honored, not for himself,
but for the high Office he holds under
the republic" All of this is begging
the question. The Intelligencer
has no sort of objection to the fsrmali-
ty OF saluting q cabinet officer. The
practice does not mean much, but as it
is q mark of politeness between ma
tons and to prominent officials it is all
right enough. The fact that Mr..
Brewster is a republican does not ex-
empt his acts as q public servant from
criticism, or even from censure if they
deserve it. What we really objected to
in the gentleman's conduct was the use
ofpubHc property fer private purposes,
without authority of law. Our Ian
guage was plain enough. We said:-
"Secretary Chandler amuses himself in
q government vessel; Mr.. Arthur not
only uses them himself whenever he
sees fit, but sends one, 'the Dispatch
out fer weeks with his daughter, and
now Mr. Brewster, who Is only celebra-
ted for his shirt ruf1es and for letting
all tho guilty star-routers escape, takes
his whole family q jauut at the expense
of the once sovereign people. By
what right, what law, or what decent
custom such things are justified no one
can tell. The truth is, that these gen.
tlemen, morally and legally speaking,
have as much right to put their hands.
int the public treasury and apprepri-
ate its funds that way, as they have to
cause expenses in their behalf authoriz-
ed by no law. In the better days OF
the republic such things would have
been condemned by everybody-now
they are permitted to pass by almost
unnoticed." These are the 'sroyal
ways of doing things to which we re-
ferred. The question is, does our critic
approve of them !?
