r.E REAcrLuN ~ ENGLAND.

The result Of the borough elections in Eng
land was fairly indicated by the first day ;
polling. Unless the county elections have
some startling surprises in reserve, the Con
servativcs have apparently carried the day. In
the urban constituencies the Liberal majorities
have been heavily reduced, and in close dis
tricts ctlaced altogether Unless the COnserya-
tives ale routed next week in their own strong.
holds in the countics-a result improbable,
albeit not impossiblc--they Will have a working
majority in the new Parliament. a special dis
patch from our regular London correspondent
shows that the set of the current Is all one way
and that the bOrOughs that have voted repre-
sent every variety OF constituency and every
quarter of the Kingdom. Unless all signs fail,
there has been a remarkable political reaction
throughout England.
The Conservatives will owe the triumph,
which now appears certain, partly to their good
fortune. partly to their adroit tactics, but
mainly to the blIndcrs of their antagonists.
They have been favored, as the Democratic
party was last year. by commercial depression
with its unvarying tendency to promote a de-
sire for a change of administration. This feel
ing the Conservatives have artliicially stimu-
lated in Lancashire and other centres of bad
trade by advocating protection under the guisc
of free trade. They have also had the good
fortune to appeal to the country at time when
the Eastern question is again before Europe
and firm and resOlute policy in foreign affairs
is requisite. Tue English electors have known
that Mr.. Glads, zone wo1d be virtually his own
diplomatist if he should return to power, and
they have not been anxious for repetition oi
the Egyptian and soudan complications or of
the Anglo Russian negotiations respecting
Afghanistan. They have correctly judged that
Lord Salisbury would be more lkey.to succeed
in obtaining the corporation of Germany for
tue maintenance of European peace and in
keeping Russia in wholesome dread of English
intervention whether at COnslantinople or al
IIeIat.
Favored by these conditions, the Conserva-
tives have made successful canvass. Their
tactics throughout have been NEST skilful

TRUTH is 4 DEFENCE ~ LIBEL SUITS
The tendency Of public opinion rs well rs Of
the ratings Of the courts, both IN America and
England, is constantly to broaden the liberty
of the press and to restrict its license. This is
healthy tendency, and is sustained by the
best newspapers of both countries. But if the
rulings Of ii Philadelphia judge in libel suit
tried before him last week are to be sustained
by the appellate tribunals, Pennsylvania must
be excepted from the States whose courts are
guided by the advanced and liberal sentiments
of the age upon this subject.
What purportcd to be "schoo Of clerks,
statesmen and reporters was established in
Philadelphia in 1888. The singular purpose of
the institution aroused the curiosity of a re-
porter of The PhitHdcLphia Press, and he went
to see the proprietor. His account of the inter-
view, aftcrward published in The Press, is the
article upon which the proprietor Ct the school
brought libel suit against the newspaper, and
upon which he recovered last week verdict
Of $1,000. The publication contained little
except the COW ersation between the reporter
and the plaintiff and it is clear that the latter
could only maintain libel suit upon the theory
that the reporter had put into his mouth absurd
words which he had not uttered and which
made him appear ridiculous. If the report was
a correct account of the interview, a suit could
not be maintained except by proof of actual
malice. Not only was there no proof of malice,
but the Judge in his charge said "The occa-
sion prevents the inference of malice" III
other words, the publication was privileged as
criticism of "a matter of public interest" AL

The enlargement of the Erie Canal Is one OF
the important questions that the next Legislat-
ure will be called upon to consider. Happily
the maintenance of the canal in an efficient
state is the settled policy of the commonwealth.
The immense benefits that it has conferred
upon the people of this State, aud also upon
those of the Western States, is not matter OF
doubt. For that reason the last Republican
State Convention declared III favor of asking
the National Government to assist in the work
of improving the locks and deepening the
channel. Unless such assistance Is rendered, 1t
is doubtful if the Legislature will favor any
large appropriation for that purpose.

There are few persons Ill the country who
will disagree with the Controller of the
Currency in the opinion that the best interests
of the public demand the continuance of the
National banking system. The popularity of
this wise system is even overcoming Democratic
opposition. But the annual report shows that
the banks are rapidly surrendering their circu-
lation and that legislation to prevent this
contraction is greatly needed. The Controllers

arise if the coinage of the silver dollar is con-
