RESULTS OF THE ELECTION. Dem
ocratic newspapers in the Eastern and
Middle States have received the news of
the late election in much the spirit that we
supposed they would. That is, they are
intoxicated and literally carried away by
the gains the party succeeded in making
in the various States. In every quarter the
reioicings over the victory arc coupled
with prophecies as to the speedy dsrupture
of the Republican party, and the ascend
ancy of the tried and unterriiied Democra-
cy. As these opinions, after making due
allowance, will be found TO echo the senti-
ment Of the party leaders and managers, it
is not presuming too much to say that the
Democratic party has received, by The re-
suits of Tuesday, lease Of life which the
events of year ago did not seem TO prom
Use. In other words, in political estimates
of the future ii will be necessary TO recog-
nize the existence of the Democratic party,
in some form of organization, as an estab-
ished fact. The party standard has been
raised a respectable number of adherenls
have gathered round it, and the eclat which
attended the triumph in Ohio, New York
and Virginia is sufficient 10 hold many OF
them fast until, at least, another Presiden-
tial election. This much maybe readily
conceded but having said this, we have
said all. -BOStOn GLOBE.

of Colorado, he recommends canal for pur-
poses OF irrigation, from the eastern slope Of
the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri River,
and grant Of public lands to aid in its con-
struction. This subject OF irrigation is one Of
vital importance TO all the States and Terrific

entitled to consideration.

The Virginius protOcol-The Proposed
Surrender 20 Spain.

The terms agreed upon between Secretary
Fish and Admiral Polo for the settlement of
the Virginius outrage are now before the
American people. The protocol, at length
officially published differs but little from the
version furnished semi-officially to the press
last Sunday except that in the latter Spain
was made to guarantee the institution of pro-
ceedings against any of her authorities who
may have violated either law or treaty stipu-
latons, whila the original document reads
that such proceedings, ''it is understood" are
to be instituted by Spain. The conditions are
however, in substance such as we have already
commented on at length. They are degrading
to the United States. They afford no guarantee
that Spain relinquishes the right Of visitation
and search on the high seas which she has
claimed and enforced with such fatal results
They give no protection for the future to our
commerce or to the lives Of our citizens. They
leave the atrocious rule in Cuba untouched
They quench no spark of the firebrand which
for the past five years has been brandished at
our threshold, and from which we are in con-
slant danger OF d conflagration. They recall
no word Of the outrageous proclamations of
the Cuban Captains General Dulce and De
Rodas against which our Secretary of State
always as sweet as nolasses towards the Span
ish government-has Illuminated his doughty
protests. They leave us, in fact, with
all these Spanisli-Cuban complications,
insults and outrages threatening and
injuring US, as they have threatened and in
jursd us ever since the flames Of the Cuban
revolution were first kindled on the unhappy
island.
. The disgraceful protocol is an abandon
mont Of the demands first made by our gov
ernment on Spain. Those demands were
published at the time in the HERALD, in our
special dispatches from Madrid, and are now
recapitulated by President Grant in his Mes
sage. In accordance with this principle" !"
nays the President, alluding to the exemption
from visitation or search in times of peace
claimed by VS. for our vessels on the high seas.
''the restoration Of the virginius the sur
render of the survivors Of her passengers and
crew, due reparahon to the flag and the
punishment Of the authorities who have been
guilty Of the illegal acts Of violence were de-
manded." 1t will be seen that the compromise
effected by Mr.. Fish is nothing like the
demand. The vessel is to be restored, it is
true, If the Spanish Cuban outlaws do not,
meanwhile, destroy her, and the survivors are
TO be surrendered, if the Spanish Cuban
butchers do not, meanwhile, cut their throats;
but the "due reparation" to our flag is
made conditional, and the punishment OF
the murderer Burriel and his accomplices
is not conceded. On tho contrary, it is only
'understood'' that Spain will institute pro-
ceedings to discover il any Of her authorities
have infringed spanish laws which legal
ixe those atrocities. OK ''troaty obuaaGons.'

most of the plans yet suggested look only to
initiation on the one hand or to compelling the
government TO pay interest on its own cur
rency whom not in use, and add that his
plan. if anything, is nothing more than the
support Of the monopoly known as the
national banking system.
All tho public documents submitted to Con-
gress yesterday-the report Of the Comptroller
Of the Currency, the Secretary Of the Treas
ury's report and the Presidents Message
look to the support Of the national banks
Instead of sweeping the system out OF exist
enos the officials at Washington would foster
and sustain it. The President, while prohibit
ing the payment Of interest on deposits, would
give the banks additional facilities Of circula-
ton. His recommendations are only for the
banks and not for the people. They tail to
reach the seat Of the disease and practically
are mere plaitudes which would be hurtful in
application. But the President has done well
in opposing imitation. If he had only gone Il
little further aad favored making the national
currency TO consist only Of legal tender notes,
sweeping away those dangerous institutions,
the banks, ha would have done what the busi-
ness interests of the country require. He
almost did it in suggesting to the considera-
ton OF Congress whether it would not be well
that banking should be free. Only another
word was necessary to make General Grant the
champion of the true financial policy Of the
government.

which Spain interprets In accordance w1rn ner
own views The protocol is, therefore, a cow

from its first position and degrading snr-
render Of our national honor.
We should deeply regret to find this shau,e-
full protocol endorsed by President Grant as
honorable to both nations If his Message
did not bear evidence that he has not found
time, in the pressure of his other duties. I'd
read the instrument understandin9ly, and that
he has been grossly misinformed as to its COR
tents and meaning The President states that
the Spanish government 'shas arranged for
the immediate delivery Of the vessel and for
the surrender OF the survivors of the passen-
gers and crew, and for salute to the flag,
and for proceedings looking to the punish
ment Of those who may be proved to have
been guilty of illegal acts Of violence towards
citizens of the United States, and also towards
indemnifying those who may be shown to be-
entitled to indemnity" A perusal of the pro-
tocol will show the President that his state
ment OF its conditions is incorrect He may
not be we'll versed in diplomatic chicanery.
protocol does not warrant the recaptulation OF
the terms of settlement made in his Message.
When he understands that Mr.. Fish has vir.
tually abandoned all the conditions demanded
by our government with the exception Of the
surrender OF the ship and the surviving cap
tives he will probably denounce the protocol
as warmly as he now endorses its supposed
provisions, and will unite with the HERALD In
exhorting the Senate to save US from the dis
honor of its ratification.
Meanwhile we commend to the attention OF
the President, the Senate, the Secretary of
State and Admiral Polo the special dispatches
of the HERALD correspondents at Havana and
Santiago de Cuba published to-day. From
these dispatches the administration and tho
Spanish official will understand the spirit that
actuates the Spanish-Cuban outlaws and the
character of the people with whom we are
asked to make disgraceful compromise. Is
it probable that we can hive in the future in
peaceful neighborhcod with such community,
even if we should yield our national honor for
the sake of hollow truce? 1t would be-
singular if to the insubordination and ferocity
of these bloodthirsty spirits of the Casino
Espanol we should owe our escape from
national dishonor; but even if the fierce oppo-
sion of the Spanish -Cubans to the proposed
settlement should turn out to be nothing more
than frothy exhibition of their chancteristic
bluster it should at least open the eyes Of the
Senate of the United States to the necessity Of
better guarantees for the future than are 70 be-
found in the terms Of surrender signed by the
Timber diplomatic at the head of our Stats
Department.
