THE ENGLISH BOROUGH ELECTIONs s.

THE ENGLISH BOROUGH ELECTIONS.
The drift of the borough elections is unmis-
takably against Home Rule. On Monday at
midnight the net Unionist gain was reported
to be ii seats. If the basis Of comparison was
the vote on the second reading, this would i'm
ply majority of al against Home Rule, SO far
as the elections had proceeded. If the elections
in 1855 were the basis of comparison, it would
imply. that the Unionists had gained / 4 of the
81 seats required in order to tie the House of
Commons The election news Is cOnfus ng, if
not unlntelligible, when taken in detail, it not
being apparent III all cases whether succe ssful
Unonists replace Tories or Gladston ian Lib
erals. But the outlook for the Prime Min lister is
certainly unfavorable. The county divisions
may disclose unexpected gains for him as they
did last year, and in this way his losses in the
b0rOughs may be counterbalanced The Con-
servatves were premature in their rejoicing
then and may be surprised by Hodge once
more The Gladstonian managers have not
counted upon gaining seats in the counties,
where their vote was so favorable then. 1t il
not impossible that the rural constituencies
will yet come to the rescue of Ireland but this
result is not We are sorry to say, to be regarded
ar probable.
Ono of tho most remarkable results of the
borough elections is the defeat of Mr.. Goschen
New-York tribune., 1886-07-07

The election in Londonderry City. one of the two
great centres of Professionalism in Ulster. shows how
evenly divided are the two great parties in the
North of ireland. Justin Mccarthy is defeated by
only three votes. This represents the actual
majority which can be mustered against Home
Rule in one of the strongholds of the Orangemen-
three votes Yet for months the Tory and Cham
beriain forces have been arguing about Ulster on
the assumption that il was practically unit
against Mr. Gladstones scheme of legislation. The
Londonderry election furnishes instructive
commentary upon the text of the Ulster contro-
yersy as found in Lord Randolph Churchill's and
Mr. Chamberlain's speeches.

A GAME TWO CAN PLAY.

The seizures of American fishing vessels In
Nova Scotia last week reOf Importance mainly
as demonstrating what the policy OF the Do
min,on Government really is. Action in every
case was based upon trivial technicaity. The
City Point went into port for water-a right in
| disputabe under the Treaty of 181S--and was
seized because her arrival was not reported to
the customs officials before water was taken on
board. The two other vessels which were de-
tanned had neglected to comply with the regula-
tions of the customs law. Points such as these
cannot be made the subject of international
negotiations. Great Britain will not prohibit
the Provincial authorities from r1gidly enforc-
ing the revenue and customs laws. The Home
Government would be almost certain to sustain
the Colonial Administration in these technical
questions.
The Dominion authorities aim to harass the
New En- gland fleet by policy which can be
readily defended If the Colonial Office chooses
to intervene under diplomatic pressure from
Washington. They will continue to seize, de-
tain and order out of harbor every American
craft that can be convicted of technical viola
tions of law under the most rigid scrutiny and
the narrowest Interpretation of the statutes
Canadians hope to wear out the patience of the
Yankee fishermen, to break down the oppOsi-
ton in ewEngland to a commission and
finally to secure international action respecting
new treaty.
In this view of the case the action of the
American Government in releasing the Sisters
at Portland now appears to have been too in
dulgent. The Canadian vessel was seized on
analogous grounds to those on which the City
Point and other craft have been detained in
Nova Scotia. Her release was ordered with
precipitate haste, the Administration apparently.
hoping to shame the Dominion authorities into
good conduct by setting them the right example.
If these seizures continue it will be wiser to
adopt a retaiatOry policy and to detain in
New England harbOrs and on the great lakes
every Canadian vessel that ncglects to comply
with the customs regulations even in the minut-

The annual report of the Brooklyn Bridge Trus
tees is significantly silent in regard to the matter
of expenditures. This is all the more noticeable
because the report gives at considerable length an
ANALYSIS of the receipts and compares them with
previous years and months. Thus We are able to
tell that there was increase of 20 cent in the
receipts from tolls last year compared with the
previous year. and that while there decrease
of $40 1876 in the number of persons who used the
promenade there was an increase of L 11,563,353 in
the number who used the railroad All the details in
regard to receipts carefully given. But there

tures For "maintenance $780, COL was ex-
pended which, while the trustees do not say So
covered up large increase In the salary and pay
rolls. This amounts to several thousand dollars
month"; and probably represents the percentage
which Boss McLaughlins political organization
gets out OF this public work.

The Democratic" economists " in the House
yesterday made the usual exhibition of them
selves They fought for an hour to save
$24 Oh protest fees on drafts drawn according
to law by United States Consul and dis
honored because the House neglected to make
the appropriation large enough to meet the
necessities of the State Department. But many
of these same economists voted the other
day tC give away $4,000 as extra pay to the
employees of Congress. This was not for extra
work, but a mere gratuity to employees the
ge majority of whom are already Overpad.
Comment on such methods is unnecessary.

The Excise muddle appears to have descend
ed into mere effort on the part of the old Board
to lay the foundation for claim against the
city for salaries and legal expenditures. For
this purpose the Board which has been recog-
nized as legal was asked yesterday to sign .
stipulation that would help the ex xCommis-
soners get pay for services not rendered. 1t is
no business of the new Commissioners to sign
any stipulation. The Courts should be left
free to decide all questions of dispute that
may arise between the Haughton Board and
the city. 1t is not likely that any paper signed
by the new Beard would have mnch influence

Ii the President were consistent in his vetoes
he might at least win respect for his good in
tentions. But he has approved number of
bills for public buildings in small villages in
the Sonth, while he has vetoed similar meas
uIes providing for buildings IN fair-sized
Northern cities There is no doubt that the
erection of public buildings in small places is
to large degree waste of public money.
But the Presidents veto of the bill to provide "A
building for Duluth, Minn., which is a port of
entry. is wholly inconsistent with his approval
of bills for public buildings in such places as
Fort Smith, Arkansas, and San Antonio
Texas. But Arkansas and Texas are "solid ="

New-York tribune., 1886-07-07

The caustic criticism of Senate Committee
on some of the Presidents pension vetoes will
probably not lead him to regard with any more
favor this class of legislation. But the language
of the Senate Committee appears to be justified
by the facts. Why the President should go out
of his way to slur widow and even small
children in vetoing one of these bills, is mex
plicable except on the theory that he is more
anxious " to beat the record " in the matter of
vetoes than he is to do justice to the veterans
and their widows and orphans. Even the
House, ruled as it is by ex-COnfederate
brigadiers., hesitates to stand by the President
in this matter, as appears from the vote yester-
day on one of the pension vetOes.
