The figures already ascertained justify the be- lief that the adverse majority will come close to two hundred thousand votes. That is far in excess of what the most sanguine of the anti- prohibitionists ventured to prophe: The heaviest majority in any city, even in propor- tion to the total vote cast, was in Philadelphia, where the most aristocratic quarters vied with the slums in their work against the amend- ment—a circumstance doubly significant, in view of what already has been accomplished for Philadelphia by the high-license system re- cently put into force there. This basa discouraging look for constitu- tional prohibition on the face of it, The most hopeful of the members of the third party will be able to find a grain of comfort in the claim that they have fared worse in previous elections. A defeat by 200,000 majority is not so bad asa defeat by 995,600, which the prohibitionists of Pennsyl- vania suffered in the presidential election of 1888; or by 970,500, as in the state election of the same year; or by 739.500, as in the state election of 1337; or by 753,100, as in 1886, when the republican party was rent by internal dis- sensions and the probibitionists obtained the services of Mr. Wolfe as a leader. But in all these other fights the liquor question was | only one among a dozen issues. The results had to be studied in the light of a variety of local quarrels and combinations, and to be dis- counted by the loyalty of democrats or republi- cans or labor reformers to their earlier affilia- tions in spite of a leaning toward prohibition, ‘This year prohibition had the field practically to itself. The vote cast in Pennsylvania must be accepted, therefore, as the first fair measure of the feeling of the people of the Keystone state on this particular question. Pennsylvania has reached the same conclusion as Massachu- setts. Rhode Island is next to be heard from. It is pleasant to find a civil-service commis- sioner speaking out with such directness as Mr. Roosevelt does, when he says: “The law must be obeyed. The idea is prevalent that it is a sort of plank ina political plat- form—a very good thing to point to—but it is not to be put into execution. We are deter- mined that thislaw shall be obeyed strictly until it isrepealed.” This, followed by the statement, ‘We intend to guarantee the abso- lute impartiality of examinations,” has the right ring. Moreover, both utterances came from the mouth of « man _ whose national reputation is such that his very mame, when gazetted for a commissioner- ship, was accepted all over the Union as a war- rant for renewed faith that the civil-service law was going to be placed on the same level of respect as other laws and enforced without fear or favor. The present commission, backed by the President's assurance of support, will bring the matter of reform in the civil service to a pointed issue. We shall see what Ameri- can citizens think of civil-service reform; whether they will improve the system by de- manding its am :ndment and extension, or whether they «"! order it swept away alto- gether. The adoption of one or the other of these alternatives seems likely to be forced upon Congress before the present admiuistra- tion ends its term. SS ee ——EE Judge Bradley's condemnation in court this morning of the practice of carrying concealed Weapons isnot more severe than the occasion requires, The habit belongs to another grade of civilization than that of the great cities of the American republic in the 19th century. In an appalling number of homicides whisky has supplied or aggravated the motive to crime, and the covcealed weapon has furnished the opportunity and means to commit it. The | District's law should be amended, as suggested, | to discourage this practice by imposing the severest penalties upon it, and then the law should be vigorously enforced. pd $+ M. Naquet, who has been known everywhere for years as an agitator for constitutional re- form in France, appears in an article in the Aw Keview as the exponent of the Boulangist idea of revision, His argument may be summed | up in the general statement that parliamentary government has proved a failure everywhere except in England, the most conservative nation on the globe, while the American system, with & President responsible directly to the people, and with « divorcement of the executive from legislative branch of the government has been highly successful with a progressive peo- ple. M. Naquet also sees virtue in the Ameri- can plan for making amendments to the con- | stifution by referring them more or less di- rectly to the people, instead of letting them | | merely follow the course of ordinary legislation. He prefers the American system to the English | for France. There is much force in all this, but still a question remains. Tbe Ameri- | cam people, though not so conservative as the English, are nevertheless more apt to err on the side of over-caution than of wild extravagance, when it comes to matters of government. Our republic was fortunate in Laving for its first head a man who, by winning | the hearts as well as commanding the judg- ments of his countrymen, gave to his example | almost the force of law; and to his wise fore- sight and the guard he placed over his personal ambition has been largely due the fact that, in a whole century, we have never elected a Presi- dent to succeed himself for more than one term. Attempts to force upon the people any departure from this rule have been promptly throttied. Would France, after strengthening the power of ber president, have a hke experi- ence? — $0 —____ The “battle of the Looks,” immortalized in the standard literature of our tongue, did not approach iu intensity the battle of the bot- tles which is soon to come off in New York. ‘The hostile forces are the bottlers and the bottl: dealers. The bottler aims to perpetuate his fame by having his name and occupation stamped or blown into the bottles he uses. ‘The bottle-dealer buys and sells bottles, regard- less of their size, shape, previous use or other individual traits, Of course it is annoying to AR.
