THE LIQUOR TAX LAW.

Among the sprats on the hooks of the Demo-
cratic sportsmen intent on catching the suf
frage whale this fall this label is noticeable
Repeal of the Liquor Tax law The bait
may be alluring for time, but we doubt If it
will catch either whales or gudgeons. And the
prediction may safely be made that the Demo-
cratic party. If intrusted with both executive
and legislative power the coming year. will not
have the courage to modify seriously any sec
ton Of the Liquor Tax law.
That law. largely owing to the excellence of
its administration by Henry II. Lyman, the
state Excise Commissioner has commended
itself to the people OF this State They will
not permit It's repeal. 1t so improves excise
methods over those authorized by former laws
relating TO the liquor traffic, moreover. that
there will be sturdy resistance even to any
notifications Of its requirements Formerly
the granting Of q license TO sell liquor was
largely matter of favor and accordingly the
excise boards became members of political
.'boss's'' cabinet. and influenced thousands of
votes All that influence has been destroyed
The State Excise. Department is not meddling
with political affairs. The number Of liquor
dealers has decreased. The amount Of drunk
cnncss Is less, despite an increase of population.
Statistics reveal these facts Enthusiastically.
Violations Of the excise lnws are less common.
Liquor-dcalers who formerly only paid the
United States tax and evaded the State license
fee now pay the State tax. and thus there Is
an increased State revenue from this source
We have said that the Democratic party Will
not repeal the Liquor Tax law and we may give
as an additional reason for this dogmatic state
ment that the law puts too much money into
the treasures Of the cities and villages and into
the State Treasury to permit Of any sane mem
Der Of the Legislature venturing the loss OF his
office by voting to discard the statute The
Democratic cities have profted so largely by
the adoption Of the law that If resardful Of the

EOTTH AFRICAN ELECTIONS.

Mr.. Cecil Rhodes has personally triumphed in
the Cane Colony elections. He has been re-
turned to Parliament by an overwhelming ma
tority HIS constituency is one in which Dutch
influences are strong. ana the most vigorous
fight was made against hin personally. Into
that one district the best efforts Of his enemies
were centred. and there their money was spent
most lavishly. There Is no reason to suppose
that Mr.. Rhodes's campaign suffered from lack
Of funds, either but Mr.. Rhodes himself gen
crously gave the bulk Of his attention 10 other
constituencies and to the general campaign.
That In such circumstances he has handsomely
won will be n cause Of unbounded qualification
to his friends and to many all over the world
who take dsinterested nterest-to coin n
paradoxical phrase-in the affairs of the colony.
1t is now to be seen whether, when all the re-
turns are in. Mr.. Rhodes will have n ma jority

NO AMATCAN ANNEXATION.

Some Of the people Of Jamaica are reported
to he organizing n movement for secession
from the British Empire and annexation to the
United States They have doubtless been
moved thereto chiefly by the depression OF the
sugar industry upon which their prosperity
chiefly depends and the failure thus far Of the
British Government to do anything practical for
their relief Perhaps some further stimulus has
been supplied by the spectacle Of American an
nexaton of Porto Rico and Hawaii, and the
establishment. of paramount American influ.
ence over Cuba. With this country taking pos
session of one or more Islands in the West
Indies close to Jamaica. and the conviction that
annexation TO this Republic would mean a
restoration of prosperity. It IS not surprising
if Jamaicans begin TO consider the propriety OF
making change of allegiance.
That they will receive much encouragement
from this country is, however. TO be doubted
They will far more probably meet with the
coolest kind of Encouragement. The island Is
a valuable one. and would make fine addition
to our domain. But we are by no means eager
10 take possession Of greater number OF ISL
ands at once. Those which we have already
taken will furnish us with an ample field for
colonial effort for some time to come. In re-
spect TO Jamaica, we can well afford TO wait.
There Is no possibility of its ever being trans
ferred TO any other Power. IT will remain
British forever, unless It becomes American.
And we have no objection to It's so remaining,
for there is no nation In the world that we
would rather have for close neghbor than
the British. Assuredly there will be no in
trigulng nor filibusterlng for the island II
Jamalcans want to come into this Union they
must first apply TO the Government at West
minister for permission TO leave the British
Empire. and their overtures to us must come
through the British Foreign Office Some day
that may occur AN things are possible But
II will scarcely be In our time.
