I The Republican party never had a fairer outlook than tha present. It has been returned to power, after a brief interval of four years, with such an expression of popular confidence In its promises and principles oa tho people have seldom given. Ite candidates won in spite of the fact that tbe power of official patronage was against it; the Democratic candidates were defeated in spite of tbe fact that tho immense patronage of the Government was in their favor. The unanimity of the South for Democracy haa been more than matched by tho substantial unanimity of tho North aud West for Republicanism. Tho Republican part.y touched the point in its scale of power in 1884.

Bince then tt has begun to rise again. It received Its first severe blow during tho Hayes Administration. Tho now policy which Mr. Hayes adopted toward the South, though a wine and necessary policy, was disastrou to tbo Republican part.y in that section Tho reaction, by suppressiug tho coloret or Republican vote, modo the South sollc for the Democratic party, which becami once more a formidable rival in tho strupgl for national ascanduncy. The Republican party won with Gartield; but It was do feateil with Blaino.

It needed, in 1884, hu a straw to turn the balances for Cleveland and an unwise nomination was that straw Then came tho real opportunity of the Dem ocrutio party; but feeling secure, with South solid'iu its support, it forgot or re pudiated its promises, gave tue South un due prominence in the government, attacked the principle of Protection from Southern standpoint, and manifested the utmost indifference respecting tho mon strous crime against the franchise in the South. The party that repudiates its pledges to tho people will itself be repudiated by the people. This is the explanation, in large jiurt, of the defeat of the Democratic party, its candidates were unpopular, its prinw pies objectionable and its promises dis credited. The Republican party, on the contrary, brought forward its best men and stood for the defense of American in terests und tho rights of tho people. Its fortunes aro again in tho ascendant, and its louse of power may be long if it proves worthy of the trust confided to it.

The solid South must become less ant less dominant power- politically. If 11 made tho Democratic fortune in 1684, it fuilHct to maintain it in 1888. Four years hoiico it will be a smaller factor iu the contest, even if it remains unbroken. Several States in the Northwest will bo admitted before that date and a new apportionment will hnvo been made on the basis of the census of 181IO. The greatest growth of population is in the Slates classified as Re publican.

The North and West will there fore have most of the additional votes in tho alectoral college, the South gaining but few, if any. Moreover, the South cuu hardly tilled spirits show the production and do- continue unbroken.

tho progress of a suit brought against tho Rook Island Railroad Company by J3. L. Randall yesterday, Manager Wood, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was ordered to produce Iu court r. copy of tho "blacklist," which ho refused to do. Argument on his case will bo had to-day.

Randall was formerly a telegraph operator in the employ of tho railroad company, and uo sued for $35,000 dunwtfos, alleging that Uo was discharged for joining a labor organization, posito in warehouses for the year to hnvo been gallons, or gallons less than during the preceding year. There was an increase of nearly five million gallons in the production of alcohol, rum, gin and pure spirits; and a decrease of 0,500,000 gallons in the production of bourbon and 1,500,000 gallons of rye whisky. Thoro remained in distillery warehouses nt the close of the last fiscal year, 01.000,000 gallons of spiri at tho dose of 1887. 05,000,000. There were 3,640 1,030 of which ivero erain distilleries, operated dur- North Carolina had the highest number in operation, West Virginia came next with Oil.

Kentucky 851, 'California 247, Tennessee ISO, Georgia 113, Now'Jer- sey 70, New York 59, Illinois 37 and Indiana 38. The quantity of grain usod ia.itho production of spirits during tho year was 16,122,509 bushols, a decrease of 1,837,050 bushels from tho amount used iu the preceding fiscal year. The number of gallons of spirits produced from grain during the a decrease' of 7,580,216 gallons from the produotof the In reference to the proposition to repeal the tax on fruit brandies, Mr. Miller, says it appears probable that tho relief of this arti-! cle from taxation would' lend to the utilization of a largo numbor of different fruits for tho distillation of spirits, and to tho produc- tion of an additional volume of ttuch spirits, which might reasonably bo expectod'to have an appreciable effect upon the tax-paid grain and molasses spirits with which would come into competition. Under tho present law, which practically cohfiaes the brandy producer to the use of apples, ponchos and grapes, and despite tho endeavor to exercise as close a i Supervision as practicable" to a business carried on by BO many individuals' and scattered over BO largo an area, It is supposed that a considerable percentage of the pz-oduct escapes tax, and this amount Is subject of complaint from tho distillers of whiskies, who declare that it is porcoptibly fel in some places.

The commissioner believes that if in addition to this fraudulent quantity tho whole legitimate product of fruit brandy should I bo put upon tho market tax free, and this should again bo swollen by tho unrestricted uso not only of apples, peaches and grapes, but of any and all other fruits, tho grievance to the whisky producers would prove not to bo an Imaginary ono. The reduction in revenue by the abolition of tho tax upon fruit brandy is not to bo measured by tho subtraction of the present collections from that source. A considerably larger amount would bo lost, while mischief to the revenue soi-vico and increased difflculties.in tho en- lorocment. of the law as to grain and molasses spirits might be seriously appro- bonded. Tho commissioner devotes considerable spaco to oleomargarine, its productioh, manufacture and taxation 557,527 pounds wore produced at manufactories during the year.

There appears to have been a small Increase In production during tlio year and tho demand for consumption ut home and abroad is increased. A decrease in tho nunlber of manufacturers, as well ns wholesale and retail doalors, is reported. Commenting on this Commissioner Miller pays that tho decrease in the number of special tax-payers has become a subject of groat solicitude; as It may be partly duo to fraud, adds: Tho statement (appended to the report) to the production and use of oleo oil shows that ntore than 27,000,000 of' a product during the year of 09,000,000 pounds of this neithor exported- nor used in tho manufacture of oleomargarine. Tho question as to what actually becomes of this material will uevor be sail answered uutll tho manufacturers thereof aro compelled to account for It with the same particularity usthey ape required to account for the article subject to tax. It is doubtless vised in tho manufacture of some food product, such, for Instance, as choouo.

Missouri is not hopelessly Democratic 1 nor is it impossible that Tennessee should ibe- coino The South must break for its own sake, and a good Republican administration- for next four years will surely help it to break. i General Harrison faces great responsibilities but in great responsibilities are groat opportunities. His first opportunity bo in the selection of his Cabinet. He may' gather round him such advisers ns will help to make his administration strong and efficient; or such as will weaken his linnds 1 and be a burden to his administration.

As ha made no pledges before election, he owes no political'debts; as ho owes u'o political debts' he. need not, feel obliged to pay, political claims. His imperative obligations are to the people whom he is to govern. His Cabinet, his foreign ministers, and those upon whom he depends to sec that his policy ia faithfully must, of course, hd or his own political faith and bo in cordial sympathy with his general purposes; but he is perfectly free to tako Lho best his party affords for these positions, and if be does -so, as wo believe he will, the people will bo well satisfied. His second' opportunity -will be in the character ho may give to the civil service.

There will, undoubtedly, be pressure from party politicians like Senator In galls for partition of the offices. But he will have much moro encouragement in resisting this pressure than Mr. Cleveland has had. The Democratic party does not believe inictvil tho Republican part.yjdoes.. General' Harrison will be 'cordially' sup! ported, not only by the best and dominant element in his own' party, but by Independent voters and by the best thpugh not tho controlling element in the Democratic party.

There are many thousand 'Democrats in office. Senator Ingolls says turn, them all out immediately. That would be a greater farce than that of the Cleveland administration. It would bo a shameless surrender to tho clamors of low polilicians, and- the people would turn in disgust from such an administration. No Democrat should bo turned out of a clerkship or a post-office or any other subordinate position because he is a Democrat.

No Republican should hB 1 appointed simply because he is a Republican. Inefficient incumbents, whether Democrats or Republicans, should, be discharged; inefficient applicants, whether Republicans or Democrats, should bo rejected. This is tlio rule wo wish to seo adopted by the incoming administration Here is a great opportunity for General Harrison, and we have no doubt he sees and will s'eize it, Upon these two kind of advisers President Harrison shall select and the character ho stall give the civil service largely the success of tho Administration and the continued prosperity 'of tlie country. Congress will catch the'tone of his administration, if it is clear and high, and pnbllc sentiment itself will be strengthened by it. The Presidential bark not always be in smooth seas; but if wisfily managed it will certainly escape the rocks on which tho present Administration has boon wrecked.

The future of tho Republican party is in its own hands. It will be made or marred, by what is done during tho coming four years. Its- continued ascendancy will depend upon its conduct. If it desires power it must show itself worthy of -Y. Independent.
