rur uorsF OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Estimates of the strength of the two parties
in the next House Of Representatives have
varied much in the last few days because the
vote in many districts has been exceedingly
close Definite returns are still lacking from
Ohio Indiana Nebraska and some other states
where the Republicans suffered heavy and I'M
expected losses 1t seems to us, however, that
the last generally published estimate of a Re
publican majority Of Al errs in being little
too low.
There are 224 Republicans in the present
House and 1G1 Democrats. The Republican
majority is 81 In Tuesdays elections it is adj
mitted that the Republicans gained ut least i
seats. as follows IN Rhode Island, l New
Jersey. / Pennsylvania. Q: North Carolina 3;
Wisconsin. ] : Oklahoma, >; Missouri, ,. The
Republican Congressional Committee claims one
additional gain in the 9TH Virginia District, and
Missouris official vote may show another gain
in that state The Democrats have apparently
gained ID seats in these states: Colorado );
Nebraska .: Indiana, 6; Kentucky. l; Illinois,
/: Ohio > IN Ohio Indiana and Nebraska two
or three districts are In doubt, but the Demo
cratic gain is not likely to exceed II. Counting
the 9Th virginia District as Republican, the net
Democratic gain In seats will be from four TO
six The Republican majority in the next House
is likely. therefore to be Al, 47 or 49, the exact
figure depending on the result Of the official
count in the few outstanding close districts.

RELIEVING THE UNEMPLOYED.

We are not among those who are inclined to
vaunt America and Americans as necessarily al
ways superior 10 all other lands and peoples
and as proof against the errors which are per
ceived elsewhere. We may concede the posi-
bilIty of there being in this country at some
time and as a result OF some circumstances need
for the giving Of government relief TO the un-
employed, and also that In such an unwecome
contingency this country might adopt a measure
no wiser than that which IS put forward in
Great Britain. But 70" :he present we must be
permitted TO express gratitude for our freedom
from such need and an earnest hope that f the
need should ever occur some way Of meeting it
would be devised which would be free from the
grave and obvious objections 10 the British plan
One OF the chief features CT that plan Is that
local governments shall transfer the execution
Of their public work from the contractors and
their forces who are now doing it 10 newly
recruited forces Of the unemployed; aud also
shall undertake for the further employment
of the unemployed many new works as pos
slble even in advance of and in excess OF their
actual needs. Tie latter enterprises will prob
ably not be numerous or important, so that the
chief relief for the unemployed will be In their
employment jobs done by others 1t is
recognized that work thus done by those who are
low unemployed and who are the less efficient

Commercial Club:
Every business man who is obeying the law
may go ahead with all the energy In his pos
session: every enterprise which is within the
statutes may proceed without fear Of interfer-
ence from the administration. when acting le-
esllv: but all interests within the jurisdiction
OF the federal government may expect rigid
enforcement of the laws against dishonest meth
ods
That statement is welcome both as al en-
couragement and as a warning. 1t is no

garded rs having come to stay.

A sentence to term of imprisonment FOR
Substitution" in a drug store may seem to some
to be harsh, but It must be remembered that
the offence is in any case swindling and IS also
potentially one Of the gravest that can be COM
mitted In the case in point the culprit
reflIed with ordinary water bottles which had
contained water from special spring. Perhaps
no harm was done to life health. But the
purchaser Of the refilled bottles was cheated,
for he did not get that which ne ordered and
for which he paid. and the proprietor of the
original contents of the bottles was injured, for
the sale OF the spurious stuff initiated against
the good repute of the genuine. For such an Of
fence a man deserves severe punishment But
it must be remembered that the practice Of
substitution If carried further, as 1t has been IN
not a few cases. might involve such vitiation
Of important prescriptions as would in the grav-
est manner affect the health and even the life
OF patient. For such offence three months
in jail is really light punishment. II the dis
position OF the present case, which has been be-
fore the courts for years, shall cause general
abandonment of practice which has been by
far too common a great gain for the public well
fare will be attained.
