THE Do NOTHING DEMOCRACY.

The scenes in the National House of
Representatives Thursday are not cal
culated to strengthen the dominant
party before that very considerable
element Of our voting population that
judges parties by their performance
rather than by their platforms, and
votes correspondihgly Yesterdays
session of the House was wrangle in
which no public business was advanc
ed, not even the matters that started
the fight the move to give seat to
democrat who came nearly a thous
and votes short of election at the polls.
In the course of the struggle Speaker
Crisp proved himself as despotic as
his party charged Speaker Reed with
being. All Crisp was in the chair for
was to promote the interests Of his
party as they appear to his short
sighted vision. The rules OF the
House were nothing to him, neither
was the courtesy of debate. Nor was
he at all particular about a quorum.
To adopt a slang expression, "every-
thing went'' with him. The fact that
less than a quorum was present when
an order was adopted did not trouble
him in the least. He succeeded in
carrying his point, and that was all he
aimed for, and the House adjourned
after hours Of Bedlam, after wasting
the public's time and money land after
demonstrating that with an over
whelming majority the dominant par
ty can accomplish nothing without
re sort to the Speaker r.-Iranscript.

out Illinois in township elections; the
principal cities, except Minneapolis
and ST. Paul which held no election
show that the republicans were gen.
orally successful; Denver and other
cities went republican, the mining
camps went with the populists; Taco
ma, Washington, report republican
victory. Most towns and cities in
Wisconsin report republican victo-
ries; several towns in Queens county,
N. Y, including Gravesend, go re-
publican for the first time.
In Rhode Island on Wednesday the
Republicans won the biggest victory
that they have secured in that State
in many years. They elected their
whole State ticket by handsome
pluralities, and obtained such com
plete control Of the General Assem-
bly, that there probably will be only five
Democratic votes on joint ballot,
three in the Senate and three in the
House. All the prominent Demo-
cratic leaders were overthrow in
in their own bai1iwicks.

REPUBLICANS SWEEP RHODE IS
LIND

4 Rhode Island has rendered a clean
and unequivocal verdict in favor OF
/ Protection. Returns of the election
are incomplete at midnight, but they
show a tremendous republican victo
ry. Governor Brown is re elected by
more than 5000 plurality and the leg
islature is overwhelmingly republican,
insuring the election Of republican
/ to the United States senate. The dem
| ocrats began their canvass with a still
| hunt after seats in the legislature, but
they met with SO little encoura cement
that they virtually abandoned the
| contest week ago. They then con-
centrated their efforts upon the de-
feat OF Governor Brown, who had
succeeded in overthrowing the con-
spiracy for the capture OF state Of
fees last year. They have sacrificed
other candidates on the state ticket
and made alliances with the Prohibi-
tionists, wherever they could do so,
for the sake of electing a democratic
governor. Their canvass Of defama-
ton and revenge ends in complete
collapse.
The factories have spoken in this
election. Rhode Island is one Of the
busiest hives Of industry in the Union
under ordinary conditions Of tariff
protection. During the last year fac
tories have been either idle or running
on half time; there have been cuts Of
wages in the WOODEN, cotton, iron and
other trades; and employment has
been scarce in all lines Of business.
The voters have taken cognizance
OF these adverse industrial conditions.
They have profted by their expert
ence Of democratic times. All attempts
to divert their attention from National
issues have failed. They have desir-
ed to emphasize IL the strongest pos
siole way their condemnation Of the |
prevailing democratic policies by
which every branch Of business has
been paralyzed. This is the explana-
ton OF the republican victory ia
Rhode island. Democracy has been
judged by its fruits. Tribune.

A glance at the new liquor law of
South Carolina accounts for the bitter
opposition among people who take
their toddies with no more scruple
than we sip our tea Or coffee up here
IN the North. The provisions Of the
law are curious enough and form 2
contrast to the prohibitory enactment
intthis State.
Under this law there is no barroona
in that state. Whiskey is dispensed
or sold to consumers only by bonded
officers in the different counties in
sealed packages, ranging from half a
pint SO four gallons. No package can
be opened on the pre- misses. The oaly
requirement for any citizen to obtain
whiskey or other stimulants is to sign
an order stating the kind and amount
Of iquor wanted. Liquor cannot be
sold to minors Or habitual drunkards.
Beer an& wine are also included ia
the provisions of the law. The local
officers obtain their liquors from
state commissioner, who purchases
all the liquors sold in the state and
puts them into sealed packages for
distribution. al the goods purchased
must be analysed by the state chem
EST, and their purity guaranteed be-
fore sale.
The maximum profit allowed under
the law is SO per cent, to the state
and 30 per cent at the local dispen-
sary, one half OF which goes into the I
county treasury and the other half I
into the treasury of the municipality. T

The report extensively copied in
the state press that Bishop Hall had

to the prohibitory law is denied by
