GEOGRAPHY AND FIGURES.

II Is now Solid North and West, instead OF a
Solid South with all OF the border States and
some of the Southern trembling In the balance
and incning toward Republicanism. Either
last year or this the Republicans have carried
every State north of the 35th parallel but one,
and the margin in that was very narrow. 1nere
are TODAY only nine States to be reckoned sa1e-
" Democratic, or exactly one IN five OF the
whole Union-slnce Utah has practically become
the forthwith State Those are Virginia. South
Carolina. Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Blk
others are debatable ground Mary
land. North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri-with the chances decidedly IN 1avor
Of the Republicans in half Of them The other
thirty, or exactly two-thrds OF the whole, ought
steadfastly to be kept in the Republican column.
In the Electoral College there will be, next
YEAR AL votes and 224 will therefore be neces-
sary to choice. The nine safely Democratic
States which we have named will have 80 OF
those votes, and the six border States 6i more
Should they carry all the latter, therefore, the
Democrats would have only 1873 votes, or II less
than a majority. The thirty Republican States,
on the other hand, will have 294 votes or 70
more than are necessary for a clear majority. IL
,nov also he Of interest to observe that In the
Senate OF 1897 there will be 80 members. OF
whom the Republicans now seem certain Of 49,
n clear majority Of over Democrats and Pop
usts combined.
or course q great many things may happen be-
tween this and next November. The same OBJ
servation was numerousy made year ago; ana
we now see how it has been fulfilled. But with
ont any attempt 10 discount the future, 1t is
perfectly obvious that the present is fuii OF en-
enlargement to Republicans; and also full OF
exhortation to them to use their opportunity
wisely, and thus to merit realization OF the
promises now made.

and reasonable discussion and the most intelli-
gent catholic treatment The excise laws as
they now stand satisfy no one. They relate TO
one OF the most interesting and important Of the
social problems which invite the study Of the
political philosopher and tax the resources OF
Craftsmanship. 1t would be rash to call 1t In
soluble but II Is none the less true that its salts
factory solution Is far from having been reached
nv any Of the efforts In that direction from the
massage Of the Maine law, more than forty years
ago, to the present time. The next Republican
Legislature meets this question at the threshold.
There can be no doubt as to It's duty. 1t should
Immediately provide for the fullest possible hear
ing of all Sides Of those whose business IN
terests are concerned and OF all citizens who
have given the subject Intelligent thought ana
careful consideration; Of everybody in fact, who
desires to he heard upon the subject. The IN
yestigation should include all phases OF the
excise question, including. Of course the main
tenance Of the Sunday laws. as to which the
dominant party has taken positive stand ana
the question Of local option, concerning which
OpinIons are divided. The main issue upon
which this Legislature has been chosen u.s. as
The Tribune has repeatedly said. that OF munic-
ipal reform. To that issue the excise question
has the most vital relations. 1t must be boldly
met and intelllgently treated. All Republicans
agree as to the necessity Of some disposition OK
II which shall take ii out Of politics, where It's
influence is and always has BEEN full OF mis-
chief The Tammany Democracy pretend to be
Of the same mind.
There is, then, no excuse for avoiding 1t, but
every reason for meeting it with the courage
and wisdom of true craftsmanship. We have
PASSED through the stage Of Incorporate and
passionate ante-election agitation. Now let a
Republican Legislature take 1t up and delib-
erately dispose Of It

DEMOCRACY AND ITS SCAPEGOATS.

Local issues, we shall be told, caused the Dem
ocratic disasters in Maryland and Kentucky.
In the one the arbitrary methods Of the party
boss and his machine drove large faction into
omen revolt In the other the chief candidates
unsoundness on an important public issue, and
nominated. demoralized the party and alienated
many of It's best members. Such are the excuses,
and they contain considerable measure Of
truth: more indeed than we usually find In
sucb Democratic utterances. Their truth, how
eyer "a damaging to the cause they seek to
serve. and the remainder Of the truth, at which
they merely hint, makes up an altogether damn
ing indictment Of latter-day Democracy.
For It speaks Ill indeed for the party that 1t has
fallen under such leadership. If we are to believe
Its own organs In Maryland, 1t has there been
ruled by despot for his own selfish advantage.
Under such rule II has been corrupt Violence
ana fraud have been Its factors OF success. That
Is their own account Of II. In Kentucky. too.
we are told that the man whom the party chose
as It's standard-bearer is-politcally--a traitor
and a knaye. who gained place under false
colors and stubbornly persisted in course which
led to certain ruin. That Is the portrait OF the
man selected as the best in all Kentucky to be
Governor. And such, on Democratic authority,
is the character OF the Democratic party and It's
leaders in those States. Surely 1t well deserved
defeat.
That however, IL not all. nor the worst Of 1t.

TALL BUILDINGS Nv NETWORK.

The construction Of tall buildings in this city
is likely to be carried so far rs to prove scr
Gus injury to the metropolis. SO competent an
observer Of the conditions Of life In New-York
as John d. Crimmins expresses the opinion that
In n few years fifteen stories Will be not at all
uncommon in various parts Of the city. 1t will
be unfortunate for the community II the craze
for these lofty affairs is carried to SO great an
extent as Mr.. Crlmmins and other NEWCOMERS
anticipate A reasonable number Of these tower
Ing structures may not menace seriously the
welfare OF the community but II great num-
bers Of them are carried to so excessive heights
the difficulties which the Fire Department will
be compelled to encounter will be Of most
serious nature. and the effects upon the streets
will be deplorablc. These prodigiously high con
structions will shut out light and air from the
streets and will affect the public health njur-
ously. The next Legislature ought to take action
to restrict the number OF these buildings and
the height to which they shall be carried

ought to take steps to protect the Interests OF
New-York. If the walls Of these lofty Duild-
ings were made Of the most substantial ma
