THE INTERESTING SITUATION IN
OHIO.

The situation in Ohio anent the senatorship is the thing next in inter est politically since the presidential matter has been disposed of.
 It Is assumed by the public general ly in Ohio. according to reports, that Senator Foraker has not a ghost of show. but be seems to think he has. At any rate he is In the race and hopes # he may not himself be chosen he can name his successor Charlie" Taft is reported to be in the lead but there are situations every day evolving which materially affect the result. The announcement of the retiring governor, Harris, that he is a candidate is one of them He. it is said, does not take this step so much ou his own account as Co show that he does not support Foraker. But the announcement brings about an alignment in which Foraker finds comfort and encourage ment.
 The first ballot will be taken Janu' ary 18th. two days after the inau guration of Judson Harmon as gov eruor. The legislature will be ln ses- sion for the week previously during which few days Mr Harris Is ex- pected to do some tall and effective politics.
 Thirty. three votes are now claimed for Foraker by his adherents. The claim is laughed at by politicians but if he has them the Foraker and Harris men would together have a majority in the caucus. The Harris votes could never be swung to Fora ker. but the latter might be able to throw his solid support to Harris or another candidate.
 Congressman Burton occupies the rather peculiar position. If our tele- graphic information is correct, of holding in abeyance an offer of the most important portfolio in MT. Tafts cabinet. and leading the strongest fight now opposing the ambition of Mir Taft's brother.

CONDUCT OF SALOONS
"Frec Lunch" Placed Under the Ban, Must Re-
main Closed Between Il o'clock at Night
and Sin the Morning -OtherRefOrms

The judges OF tho New Castle County
Courts this morning placed the saloon
"free lunch" under the ban, and an
nounced that the keeping open OF sa-
looms for the sale OF liquors between
the hours of IL p. m. and a. m, suf-
fering the place OF business TO be the
resort OF intoxicated persons, habitual
drunkards, minors or lewd women, and
the keeping OF more than one bar, un-
less the second bar Is for the accom-
mediation Of colored people, would, after
February i5, be regarded as sufficient
grounds for the refusal TO renew IL
censes.
The announcement, which Is regard
ed as a step in the right direction of a
reform, was made by Judge Spruance,
who remarked that the members OF the
court had considered the subject for
some time. and all had agreed that the
court rules should be amended TO cover
the matter. Then Judge Spruance read
the new rules. saying
TN addition to the violation OF any
penal statute relating TO the sale Of in
toxicating liquors. the following Will

more than ono bar or place for tho sale
OF liquors upon the premises OF the ap-
plicant, provided, however, that this
shall not be held to prohibit the keep
ing or maintaining separate bars for
white and colored people"
As soon as the new ruling Of the
court became known on the street, II
naturally caused much discussion. That
the rulings would work reforms In the
liquor business was everywhere adj
mitted.
Frank M. SEWER. vice-president OF
the Bavarian Brewing Company, in
commenting on the courts action, said:
There Is no doubt that the step Is in
the direction OF reform, but the ruling
will naturally work hard until the pub
lie gets accustomed 20 It. 1 think. how

theatres and railroad terminals should
be permitted to keep their bars open at

Mr.. SEWER added that many Of the
saloon men OF the city had done away
with free lunch and adopted other re-
forms IN their business since the recent
local optlGn election.
