Still the Republicans are hugging
themselves with delight over the alleged
prospects of making q clean sweep this
year, but the Democrats should pay no
heed to their boasts as they have often
heard those boasts before. All that is
necessary for the party to. do Is to stick
together on an intelligent platform
and although 1t is possible they may
even then lose, the spirit of the party that
has won so often, even In doubtful cases
will not he frittered away. W
Upon this point the Washington Post
recently said.
''If the Democratic party is to be util-

EXCISE Methods in 81. Louis.

The system Of bribery and corruption
which had grown up SO appallingly In
the New York police force is not be.
lieved to exist to any very serious ex.
tent In st. Louis. Gambling seems to
be suppressed so far as any open Viola
lions Of the law are concerned, but no
attempt Is made to enforce the Sunday
closing law against saloons, or to sup
press d%isorderly houses. Nor is there
any pretense of a Sunday-closing pol
Icy, and M liquor-seller In st. Louis
would for a moment think 1t neces-
sary to pay regular protection money
to the police for a privilege that Ia free
ly accorded to all saloon-keepers.
The Excise Department Is also under
State rather than municipal control.
There are about two thousand licensed
saloons In st. Louis, the scale Of license
fees varying In accordance with tho
drinks sold. A beer license costa much
less than a full license, which includes
distilled liquors. The average fee Is
about five hundred dollars. and the
total income from liquor licenses APP
proaches a million dollars. Part Of this
money goes to the State Treasury and
part to the city.-Century.
