Tue Clevtland policy ia to increase the revenues by reducing taxes. The Harrison policy was to get rid of the money ia the Treasury by extrav- agart appropriations. The Cleveland policy will be by rigid economy to bring the expenses of the lovernmect within tho revenues derived from low taxes. THE pBoaimios VOTE. Among the numerous explanations of the Republican defeat this year the Prohibitionists ask that theirs be not forgotten.

They claim to hold the balance of power in the Northern States, and. therefore, reason that if they had not been in the field Mr. Harrison would have been elected. There is some talk that the keg ot Scotch wliiaky sent by Carnegie to Mr. Harrison coat him a number of rotes.

Here, again, Mr. Carnegie is thought to have been a dangerous friend, or a secret enemy, of the Republican party. Chairman Taylor, of the Prohibition State Committee of Illinois, asserts that his party polled rotes in Illinois, and ia the whole country at least 323,000 votes. This lal Is a good deal short of the million rotea which it hoped fcr. Mr.

Taylor puts tlie Prohibition vote in New York at in Massachusetts in Xew Hampshire 1,000, etc. It ia easy to see that, accepting these figures ae accurate, they do not show tlt the ProhibitiooisU held the balance of power this year in the Northern States. Even In Illinois Mr. Harrison would have been obliged to get the solid Prohibition vote in order to carry flie State, and this would not have been possible without niaaaas cuuces'ioas mat wouiu certainly have estranged other voters. i Mr.

Taylor suggests that If the republicans are going to try to win in 1608 they had better adopt the Prohibition platform. As the Republican party is now sadly in, noetl pi new set of principles more acceptable to the people tban those embodied in the term McKinleyism," it is no doubt ready to receive proposals. ft is not very likely, however, that the overtures of the Prohibitionists for a fu-snon will be entertained. The ans would like to capture the votes of the Prohibitionists, but the price asked ia more than they can afford to pay. vur contemporaries are giving the people a- deal of amusing reading these days." They insist that the Democrats are determined to send T.

the country to demnition by carrying out their platform, and demand that they convene an extia session of Congress to do this at once: while in tlie next breath they ltisifct just as emphatically that the Democrats don't mean to carry out their platform and never did mean to. Tho public, however, should not bold the Hepublican press to a stxict accouutabil- ity'tor its utterances just yet. "If certain, prominent Republicans bad said as much against the JlcKinky bill while it was pendiug in Congress as Uiey re saying against It now It would not have been jussed." itu Lows lobe-lXsuocrat, uep.

Dr. Blckertou regards it as beyond question that many shipping disasters have beoa csused from the absetioe of such restiictlotis as these, and he urge all vho Inieirst Uiem- iselvcs in -the subject to abate pone of their endeavors to promote agitation, although be fore any steps arc likely to bo taken by the authorities many more valuable lives will ptoixtbly be lost. He there are none so ditticult to convince as those who will not believe, and the men who have had U.o form ing of the mlcs of the road at sea are the very men who hitherto have turned from all auKgextions on the q-testlori with contempt. Meanwhile, Dr.

Hot Water Fountains. (New York Post.) For nne time past there has been a pro- jeet for supplying Paris with hot-water foun tains, and the scheme baa at length become an accomplished fact, one ot tha fountains being now in wot king otder. The medium employed Is an automatic machino, aud Uie price for the hot water is one sou for eight litres.

Tha water Is conducted dlrecUy to the machine by moans of subterranean pipes, and is heated by gas, which Is turned on by a sou dropped into tlie slot. It run? through a coiled-up copper tube, over 300 feet king, and Is heated during its prog res. Tn Uie course of a short lime, more fountains will be placed at the various spots tn the city. It is Intended, moreover, to establish one of the machines near each, oi the important cab-stands, with the object of facilitating the heating ot cabs in the winter. A good deal will depend upon the use made ot the apparatus by Uie general public.

The expectation Is that Uie poorer class, to whom fuel Is a luxury and whose kitchen arrangements are apt to be extremely primitive, will avail themselves of the offered opportunity in very large numbers, tho price being so low.

Ind Xor. 18 (Special.) At noon to-day the oral argument in tlie legislative apportionment oaso was completed before the Supreme Court, When the court opened at 0 o'clock Senator lurpie occupied but a short time in concluding his argument. Discuming the rights end limits of the three departments be said that it the Judiciary department had power to pass upon all tlie acts of tlie other departments, there would be no division of powets, hut a consolidation of them in the hands of the judiciary. From tliis, Senator Turpie parsed to the discretionary powers of the Legislature more in detail, and read various authoiitiee in illustration of his argument. A recent decision of the Court of Appeals of Xew York was read.

This decision said tbat the legality of an apportionment can not be settled by roteience to a ratio. There aro too many other interests and elements to be considered for that. Now, can these things be brought bo. fore a court at all?" the epxaker asked. A court can deal mly with facts.

In the apportionment of a Stale there are questions of opinion, discretion, prejudice, private interests, proportion and many other matters which can not even be considered by a court. How, then, can this come within the jurisdiction of the court?" Senator Turpie then, re ferring to the case under argument, de clared that the suit against tlie appor tionment acta of 1801 and 1885 should not lie allowed any standing belore tls court because of tlie gross neglect in delaying so long tlie beginning of the action. The act of 1883 waa allowed to be ia full fort m.v years and to expire after tlireo different sessions cf tlie had been held under it. Its successor, the act ot 1891 was passed, and was in force about year and a naif. Then this suit was brought.

This Senator Tuipie characterized as gross negligence, which siiould preclude tiie relator from any rellei, regardless of Uie validity of the act in question. Tlie relief asked for, too, he declared, was worse than tlie evil complained of. Hie law of 1879 is more unfair, lie said. than that of leS3 or 1891, aud the re lief asked for should lie denied, if for no other reason for tlie grigs inequality of tlie relief aked. Senator Tuipie was followed by Judge Forkuer, fur tlie appellee, who held in genTal terms that the- nearest possible equality in re-re mentation was tlie im portant tiling romnuiiiilfu by tlie Con Mituuon.

Time after time, he said, tito proLt-sitioti was made that each.

county should Isj given a lei-resenta tive regardless of population, but every time it was' proposed it wis rejected. Then a proposition was tn-ide to give each county whii.h contained two-thirds nl tlm unit of representation a represen tative, anu inter tins iwo-uiusis was raised to three-uuarUrs of the unit, but both plans were rejected, because it was tlie teutimeut ot the convention that tlie Letu-laturo it. illy all Mie peci.ie, ana not tne counties a nnitn. a And yet," declared Mr. Winter, "Owen eouuty, under tho portiounient law of lu), is given a sole representative, while it has just two-thirds ot tne nult of representation, exactly such a case as Uie Constitutional Convention refused to a wove.

When Mr. Winter concluded but eleven minutes of five hours nllutted. for argument remained for Attorney Gen eral iniitb, who rlosea tor tiie uppel lants. After reciting briefly snd wi fit-out argument tlie points 'nught in his brief to no niKi in a lew aays, sir. Smith concluded, and the court ad journed.
