TIE ENGLISH PROSPECT.

The Tories according to recent precedents
ought to win i'll the English elections. In
1874 and again in 1880 the first days polling
disclosed the turning of the tide against the
party in power. The first days work in the
present contest was distinctly favorable to the
Tories, who scored net gain of ten seats in
0ne-twelfth of the aggregate number Of
bOrOughs and electoral divisions. The gains
were made mainly in the South of England but
three seats were wruSted from the Liberals in
Lancashire, where Tory orators under the guisc
of fair-trade have been advocating protection
as a remedy for the prevailing business dcpres-
sion. The great Midland counties encompass
ing London were not represented in the first
days gains and losses, unless Stal1ordshire can
be included in the list The Liberals scored
their only gain in that shire The two London
elections indicated heavy reduction in the
Liberal vote and substantial progress for tho
Tories. The suueptItiOus use made of the
scandal against Sir Charles Dixie probably
influenced hundreds of the Chelsea voters, so
that the result in that district was not fair
test of party strength. The 6oroughs voting
on the first day were mainly those which had
not been affected by the Redistribution Act.
The new classes of enfranchised voters are in
the electoral divisions of the counties and have
not yet registered their choice between the two
parties. 1t is in the counties that the Liberals
have expected to gain many seats. The second
days elections in the boroughs show that the
drift is still with the Tories, confirming the re-
suits of the first days polling.
The Irish party is to be credited with two
important successes in the first days polling.

The last Democratic House Of Representa-
tives was perhaps the most inefficient body tiHt
ever sat in the halls of the Capitol. beside
passing the appropriation bills, which was done
in a reckless manner III the last hours ot the
session. hardly anything was accomplished
IL is unfortunate that the prospect for any great
improvement at the approaching session is not
good.
Outside of the incilicicncy Of the Democratic
majority and the chase it is making for the
spoils. there are other reasons that seriously
rctard legislation. One of these is the cnor-
nous growth in the number of private and
local bills which ut each session are pressed
upon the attention Of the members. In the
last Congress $500 bills were introduced in the
House alonc--a greater number than were in
troduccd altogether i'll the first half century Of
the existence of Congress. But only 3jj of
those bills became laws. Nine -tcnths of them
were private and local bills. The pressure for
the passage Of these measures takes up a great
part of the attention Of Congress and pre-
cludes the consideration of those questions
which interest and affect the people of the en-
tire country. Some method of relieving Con-
gress from the consideration of such bills is
impcratively demanded i'll the interest of
good government.
But even if this is accomplished it seems to
be the purpose of the Democratic majority
to take up the me Of the House in another
prolonged and useless tariff discussion 1t is
true that the election of Democratic PIesi-
dent. on a platform declaring in favor of such
legislation, led the country to expect such an
agitation. But the Republican Senate stands

GAMBLING AGAINST ODDS

The dear public has considerable oil, and a
GREAT deal of experience, that it had not week
AGO. 1t ought to be perfectly well known by
this time that there is nowhere else SO pcilcoC
an instrument for transferring the money ol
outsiders to the pockets OF insiders as III lhe vi
market. Whenever the Standard Oll Company
pleases to sell a part of the enormous stock IL
always carries, it can put down prices at pleas
ure Whenever it pleases to take buck the oil
sold. il can "corner" the sellers OF properly
which does not belong to them, and force them
TO pay any price it pleases for oil. 1t may Dc
added that the company is not III the laDlC ol
telling the outsiders which way 1T intends 10
move.
Gambling against such power is pernclous,
but il tends to remedy itself. Those VINO get
skinned are apt to gain experience enough 10
let it alone. In this respect the game Is less
harmful than that which goes on in the Chicago
wheat-pit, for even the most powerful comDlna-
lions have repeatedly found it impossible to
control the price of grain. An illustration may
be seen at this very time. The spectators at
Chicago, who supposed themselves strong
enough to hold up the price OF wheat against all
the world, have aroused the opposition or the
flour producers of Minnesota. In consequence,
wheat is emptied into Chicago at rate that is
positively disgusting to the holders, and the
milers declare that they will depress the
market and break the control of the combna-
ton, cost what it may. Perhaps their readiness
to face the cost and the risk is the greater be-
cause, on their side, they anticipate large
profits if they can put down prices, and alter
ward buy wheat great deal cheaper.
