GOLDUIN SMITHS SPEECH.

Professor Goodwin Smith made the best pos
sible use of his opportunity at the Chamber Of
Commerce dinner. The time was favorable for
judicious presentation of his plea for COM
mercial union between the United States and
Canada. Americans are surfeited with politics
in a Presidential contest, and when the issue
is decided are eager for plain, businessGke
discussion Of public questions Professor Smith,
in disclaiming partsanship, appealed to the
sober judgment Of a representative body Of
New-York merchants and business men. He
was favored by time and place, and by all the
conservative associations of the Chamber of
Commerce. An audience exceptionally hos
pitable to broad and enlightened ideas of COM
mercial policy listened to him with respect and
interest. He felt the inspiration of the occa-
son and presented his case judiciously and
with consummate tact.
In addressing Americans on the political des-
tiny of Canada Professor Smith has the strik-
ing advantage of being wholly in sympathy
with their own ideas He believes, as they do,
that the sixty-fve millions in the Union and
the five millions beyond the northern frontier
are ultimately to form one nation He has
never concealed his convictions respecting this
decree Of manifest destiny. The Provinces
now linked together artiicially in the bonds
of the Confederation have been indissoubly
connected by nature with the American States.
With this judgment, affirmed by him years ago
with rare courage and intelligence, enlightened
public opinion in America is fully IN accord.
There is in his speech no new declaration re-
specting these Interior results, but there is no
reason to believe that he has modified his we'll
known views. He takes pains to reveal the
diversity of opinions now entertained by Ca
nadians with regard to their future, and leaves
1t to be inferred that time must be allowed for
them to consider the rival policies of Imperial
federation, independent nationality and con-
federated dependency But then, almost in
the next breath, the natural trend of his re-
Elections appears in his warning to Americans
that forcible annexation will introduce ele-
ments of discord and embarrass them with dis
affected citizens, and that what must be had is
union of common interest and of the heart,
spch as citizen of either country may advo-
cate without treason and welcome without dis
honor"

CARDINAL GIBBONS md THANKSGITING.

| CARDINAL GIBBONS IND THANKSGIVING
The circular letter of Cardinal Gibbons, call
| ing for the observance of Thanksgiving Day
| in the Roman Catholic churches throughout the
archdiocese Of Baltimore, is new departure.
1t requests the clergy to recite the prayers for
the authorities after the late mass on that day,
and asks the faithful to assist at the service.
Thus, for the first time in the history Of the
country, the one religious festival which is
peculiar to our people will be celebrated in
Roman Catholic churches. This is step
toward unity of feeling at which the Protestant
can rejoice as well as the Catholic. The spec
tace of the great Catholic communion holding
itself apart from the general observance of
that day has detracted somewhat in past years
from its completeness and beauty, and if the
action Of Cardinal Gibbons should result, as it
would be natural to expect, in universal par
ticipation by Catholics in the festival. he will
have rendered a patriotic service of distinct
value.
This prelate has given evidence heretofore
of an emphatic Americanism, which he has
evidently not found inconsistent with his al
legiance to Rome. Fortunately for the country,
we do not need proof that good Roman
Catholic can be good American citizen but a
general compliance with Cardinal Gibbons's
Thanksgiving letter will be fresh and crafty
ing illustration of the fact.

| will ever consent to have, union on any o.hei
terms than these, no exception can be taken
to anything that Professor Smith has TO say
under this head But he eXctes increduhty
and fails to convince his audience when nc
assumes that while the political destiny OF the
two countries is working itself out it is both
possible and expedient to bring about COM
mercial union on the basis of assimilated tar
ifs. 1t is true as he asserts, that nature has
manifestly made this continent an economical
whole But so long as nature is dehed by the
establishment of separate nationahues' one OF
them dependency of foreign Power whose
economical policy is at war with that OF the
United States, the customs line seems inevitable
as a political consequence. The fact that COM
mercial reciprocity would be far more adj
yantageous to Canada than to the Union Is
not one of determining weight. Americans
are not opposed to making such bargain
merely because they would be certain to give
more than they would receive in return. They
are not ungenerous, and would not stop to cal
culate closely the comparative value of the two
markets to be exchanged under commercial
union. But what they cannot understand is
the plea for reciprocity without political union.
Why should Canada be admitted to all the
commercial advantages Of membership in the
Union while retaining its relations to the Brit
ish Empire? The experiment has been tried
in the past, but it has never resulted salts
factorily. Political union must precede con-
mercial union. Nature undoubtedly designed
North America to be an economic whole; but
not on the lines of separate nationality and
diverse relations to European Powers.
From Professor Smiths contemptuous refer
ences to the recent failures of diplomacy we
have no desire to dissent. The Adminstra-
tons fatal mistake lay in attempting to sepa-
rate the fisheries question from various com
mercial questions with which it is indissolubly
connected. What is wanted between the two
countries is a commercial treaty Of broad scope
and progressive tendencies. Retaliation may
be one of the necessary preliminaries to dplo-
matte action of this nature, but sooner or later
commercial treaty will have to be negotiated.
It is not improbable that the incoming Re-
publican Administration itself will undertake
this work. For our own part, we hope that 1t
will do so, and settle the fisheries controversy
in connection with all other disputed questions
of American commercial Fights.

0oO 600 sets of ballots for 10000 voters,

for individual candidates Each election dis
tr;ct was furnished by each party with at least
600 sets of tickets, and where there were
more than 400 voters in an election district
ooO additional sets were put into the bag.
Resides these, it is said that about 100000

One of the Democratic factions kept con-
siderable guard of armed men over its ballots
for several nights preceding the election. If
the ballots must be guarded why not let it be
done by the State, which will hold the balance
fairly between all parties?
The Republicans succeeded better than they
hoped with the Assembly, and it may be that
not even Governor Hills veto can stop this
bill. There are 80 Republicans in the As
semby and Of the Democrats were elected

the Democrats will secure the two-thirds needed
TO pass the bill over Hills veto-86-and the
vote of Mr. Linson 10 the Senate, addcd to
those of the 81 Republican Senators, will carry
the bill over veto in the Upper House. And
it may be too that Governor Hill will be clever
enough to find some pretext for signing the
bill after all.

TIE CONSPIRATORS STILL At YORK.

The evident purpose Of the Democratic bosses
to steal the House OF Representatives has been
manifested in different ways since they hrst
walked ND to the fact that to be secured at all
it must be stolen. First came a feverish i'm
patience to claim every district that could be
conceived Of rs even possibly doubtful, and
many districts in States having Democratic
Governors which were certainly Republican
Then came period Of apparent submission to
the inevitable. and this has now been followed
by robust and aggressive policy of fraud.
During the few days of acluiescence, which
now seems to have been simulated, TIE TRIB-
UNE expressed modest and guarded hope that
the Democratic manipulators had abandoned
their conspiracy, but we fear we gave them
credit for degree of common sense which they
don't possess. Our opinion of their honesty
and decency has never been changed, but we
were inclined to think that an instinct of pru-
dence might have come to their rescue.
1t is not yet apparent that they will be able
to provide their Clerk Of the House with even
the most fragile basis for overturning the will
of the people, but now that their determination
has been completely revealed, the need of
Republican firmness and sagacity is impera-
tive. Democratic journals and politicians are
still expressing from day to day the doubt if
it would be worth while for their party to con-
troll the next House by narrow and inefficient
majority. 1t is altogether likely that many OF
these utterances are merely contributions to
the plot, though doubtless there are some Dem
ocrats capable of foreseeing that the country
would eventually exact a tremendous penalty
for such defiance of the November verdict.
We do not yet believe that the conspiracy will
succeed, but every development ought to be
watched by every honest man.

THE PROSPECT OF BALLOT REFORM


1t would be strange if the defeat in this State
of the ticket which represented High License
and Ballot Reform should prove to have given
a great impetus to both those measures. The
advocates of High License have never shown
a more determined spirit than since it became
clear that Mr.. Miller owed his defeat to the
saloon keepers. There can be no doubt that
Governor Hill will soon be confronted with a
new High-License bill.
The same is true in even a more marked de-
gree of Ballot Reform. There come from many
States, and from the newspapers and repre-
sentatives Of both parties, positive demands for
the enactment Of election laws which will put
a stop to the bribery of voters. 1t is an en-
couraging sign that not all these appeals are
partisan, though many are Of course Here
and there papers are found frank enough TO
admit that votc-bribing is practised in their
own party as well as by the opposition. De-
mands of this sort have been heard, not only
in this State but in Indiana, West Virginia
and elsewhere. Massachusetts already has its
law, and has held its last election under the
old system, for we take it for granted that the
movement for its repeal, which has been begun
by some of the politicians, will not be sue
cessful.
A large majority, we believe Of both par
ties are in favor of the essential principles of
this reform. 1t may be found possible to i'm
prove the SaXtOn bill Of last year in some par
ticulars, but in its foundation principles the
bill which will be presented to Governor Hill
will coincide with the bill which he vetoed
last session. 1t will provide for the printing
and distribution Of ballots by the State, thus
doing away largely with assessments. 1t will
provide for a really secret ballot. Now the
briber puts ballot in the hands of the bribec
and is able to keep it insight until it goes into
the box. In Indiana, it is said, the worker
stands so near the window of the polling place
that the ballot which he gives to the voter he
has bought does not travel more than eighteen
inches from the workers. hand to the box
Under the Australian system the worker
will not be able to get possession Of any bal
lots because they will be in charge Of sworn
officials within the polling-place, and if he
wants to buy votes he will have to take the
voters word for it that he will go inside and
mark a ballot in a certain way, or has done So
Probably very few candidates will care TO
throw away their money on $, slight a guar
antee.
Another feature to be borne in mind is the
shocking wastefulness of the present system

for use in this city. The County Democracy,
Tammany and the Republican, printed
