THE ELECTIONS.
New York, New Jersey and
Virginia Go Democratic.
Ben Butler Defeated by a
Large Majority in Massa-
chuSettS.
Returns from the Other November
State Elections.
NEW YORK.

The result in this state plainly in
dicates that the independent voter is
still abroad in the land. The whole
democratic ticket is probably elected
with the exception Of Maynard for
Secretary of State. Maynard is pro-
hibitionist and the liquor interest
combined with the republicans
against him. His opponent was Gen
eral Carr who is the present Secretary
of State of New York. Up to mid
night of election night the total vote
from one thousand and two polling
places of the state, outside New York
city gives Maynard, 161, 921 votes and
Carr 189, 1853 votes for Secretary of
S4ate. The same places gave Purcell,
152, 500; Carr, 1S5, 228. At two o'clock
in the morning the total vote of New
York Cltyawas found to be: Secreta-
ry of State, Maynard, dem, 81, 526,
Carr, rep, 1852; Con
troller, Chaplin, dem, 1O1, 827;
Davenport, rep, 59,615. The differ
ence between the vote of Chaplin and
Maynard shows to what extent the
latter was cut. John Reilly, dem.
candidate for county register re-
ceived 20, 147 votes; Jacob Hess, rep.
5,o998; James O'Brien, ind. dem,
16, 424.
From the World: The democ-
ratio triumph in New York is of
no ordinary character, as it was
more than party success. 1t reach
es further and rises higher than
a mere victory of democrats
over republicans. It means 1884; it
means a change at Washington; it
means that the people are tired of the
ruling party; it means vindication of
the people by self-government.

THE CONFLICT between protec-
ton and tariff for revenue has now
broken out in the Canadian psrlis-
ment. Protection is the policy of the
government party in Canada, and
that system has been assaulted in the
House of Commons by the Prince
Edwards Island representatives.
They claim that it has proved ruin
GUS there. Since its adoption real
estate in towns has decreased in
value so per cent, and throughout
the country % per cent. The
vessels builtin its shipyardS in 1865
amounted to 26,O41 tons; in 1882,
to only 3,776 tons. The regis
tered tonnage in 1878 was only
1869 tons. The trade of the Is
land has also greatly decreased.
The average rate of duty paid by
the people when they regulated
theiI own tariff was 11-47 per cent.
In 1882, under he protective tariff,
tie average WIS 25.2S. This high
tdxation they say has caused its in
habitants to quit the country by
hundreds.

no extreme poverty, and it is easy
enough for anybody to live who has
energy enough to work one day out
of six. In the year 1881. from the
cultivation of only 1000 acres, there
were raised $500 worth of arrow
root, e25,572 of potatoes, e52,925 of

BRITISH RULE in India is again
threatened with trouble. This
time, however, the disaffection is
not amongst the natives on some
question Of caste, but simply be-
cause the white residents object to
the law giving native magistrates
jurisdiction over certain officers.
The Philadelphia Press, with its
fondness for drawing political par
allels, says that the trouble is akin
to tthe anarchic condition expert
enced in the South after the recon-
struction and the promUlgation OF
the civil rights law" There is no
similarity between the two cases.
A people who were living in civil
ization when the ancestors of those
who now rule them were dwelling
in caves and clothed in deer skins
and who have given to the world {
literature and a religion which have
formed themes for the poet and thu
philosopher can surely be trusted Il
administer justice even to Anglo
Saxons.
