THE origin of the pending controversy
in the Ohio Senate is well and briefly
put by correspondent. as follows:
Lieutenant Governor Kennedy. the
presiding officer. is Republican. There
are II Republican Senators and 20 Dem
ocratic Senators. The pending question
was on the contests of four of the Demo
cratic,Senators from Hamilton, and the
issue, was on the ruling of Kennedy that
he four could not vote on questions iD-
volving the investigation into their title
to seats. This would leave the Senate
stand II Republicans to 16 Democrats
AS the Democrats had organized the
Senate with the aid of the four Senators
from Cincinnati, who held Dan Dalton's
certificates of election, they had so con-
stituted the Committee on Privileges
and Elections that it would not proceed
with the contest cases, and it has fol
three weeks retarded an investigation
thereto"

votes; and that the presiding officer ha'

THE Democrats in Congress are chang
ing front somewhat in regard ito the ad
mission of the three new States, Dakota
Montana and Washington. They now
think it would be well enough to admit
them, as, if the Federal patronage is
properly handled. the preponderance OF
Republican sentiment may be overcome
and the States swung into the Bourbon
column. The possibility of future par
tisan advantage is the only thing tt
move them to do what seems to be the
right thing concerning the admission OF
these Territories.

WHATEVER may result from the trou-
BILE in the Ohio Senate, let the cause of
it be distinctly understood. The mat
ter, briefly stated, is this: Four Demo-
Gratis from Hamilton county hold seats
by fraud and forgery. 1t is desired to
have full, fair and impartial investiga-
tion of their titles. 1t is not legal for
those four senators to vote on any meas
ure bearing upon their cases. The Dem
ocratie majority, including the doubtful
four, insists that they may so vote. The
Republican minority resists the claim
In order to maintain their position the
Democratic majority adopted rules by
which the clerk of the Senate is enabled
to usurp some of the functions of the
Lieutenant Governor. The latter, as
presiding officer of the Senate, refuses
to recognize the validity of rules that
conflict with the Constitution. If peo-
pie will bear these existing facts in
mind they will be able to intelligently
estimate and locate the Democratic cry
of revolution" %. S. Journal.

Important Decision.

Judge Brewer Of the U. S. Circuit
Court at Topeka, Kan, has just made an
important decision, holding that proper
ty invested in the brewing of beer prior
to the passage OF the prohibition law of
that State, connot be destroyed without
proper compensation to the owner. In
the case at bar, a company had expended
$4,000 in brewery at Lawrence. and
after the prohibition law went into eff
feet, it was claimed that the property
was almost Valueless, the company hav-
ing been restrained from manufacturing
beer for any purpose whatever. The
court was asked to decide whether IA
State could thus deprive citizen of his
property without due compensation
The court held that under the Four
teenth Amendment and decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
legislation which destroyed the use Of
property was void-that vested rights
Of property cannot be destroyed for the
public good without compensation. The
power of the State to absolutely prohibit
the manufacture and sale of beer was
aot questioned. But is held that prop
erty within the meaning of the Constitu-
tion includes both the title and the right
to use. and when the right to use in a
given way, is vested in a citizen, it can
not be taken away for the public good
without compensation. Should this de-
cision be sustained by the U. s. Supreme
Court. States where prohibition prevails
will have enormous bills to pay for
damages to breweriss. distillers and
vineyards-property rendered useless by
the enforcement of prohibitory laws.
