The Republicans Of Sussex have gained
an unexpected victory in the election Of
the Legislature and Levy Court. Also in
the selection Of James w. Ward for
sheriff. This with their success in Kent
will give them the choice Of the next
United States Senator to take
the place OF Uncle Eli. The de.
feat OF the Democratic party in Sus.
sex will be lasting one. and one which
they could not well afford to let the
Republicans gain. The Republicans
have worked hard TO get control OF Sus
sex, but even the sanguine had no ex-
pectations Of carrying it this year. BY
the election Of the Levy Court it gives
the Republicans the appointment Of 10

Of their party in SUSSEX in 1890 when we

NAruRAL APATHY.

The Democratic representatives pro-
fess to be surprised at the apathy dir
played By their brethren in the senate
in opposing the Republican tariff bill.
They should not be surprised. how
ever. The Democratic senators know
what l. good for them as well as most
other men. and they know that their
proper attitude on the tariff question
Is TO lie low.
The people have bat recently Judged
between the schemes Of tariff reduc-
ton submitted by The Republican and
Democratic parties, and their jndg-
ment was overwhelmingly in favor Of
that submitted by the former. Before
this judgment was rendered the Demo
cratic representatives had placed
themselves irrevoeably upon record in
favor Of that scheme which the people
rejected and against that scheme
which the people accepted. Chance
saved the Democratic senator's from
being placed in the same predieament,
and now the representatives, are mad
because the senators do not show a
becoming zeal In following them into
the position which they themselves
would give anything to get out OF.
II may be asserted with confidence
that all the zeal shown in the Demo
cratic fight against the tariff during
the next two or three years viii be
shown by those who had taken their
coats Off before the chilling wind of
November. The fellows who were
fortunate enough not to whoop for
free trade before the election viii not
whoop for it now.
The Democratic representatives may
be surprised and angry, as alleged,
but they may as well bottle their sur
prise and anger The Democratic
senators will show their zeal In other
directions than that marked out by
Cleveland and Mills.

NO SPEEDY CHANGE.

IL Is evident that those friends OF
Ireland who look for speedy down
fall OF the Salisbury government are
doomed TO disappointment. The gov
eminent is little less strong in the
house of commons than il was upon
entering into power. II has kept its
supporters together In a manner which
ii at first seemed impossible for il to
do. The predictions that there would
soon arise some question upon which
the Tories and Unionists would split
have not been fulfilled, and the allies
present as solid front against home
rule to-day as they did when they took
their seats.
Paradoxical as IL may seem, the
Salisbury government has been
strengthened by the apparent weak
ness OF its Liberal Union allies. It's
evident that the latter have lost their
popular support almost as completely
as have the Mugwump leaders in the
United States. They realize that in
another general election the battle
would be direct one between the
Liberals and the Conservatives and
that they themselves would be elimin-
ated. Only few Of their more prom
inent leaders could hope TO he returned
TO Parliament, The others would in
evitably be compelled to retire They
accordingly support every measure
introduced by the government. know
ing that their only hope Of remaining
in public life lies In sustaining the
government and preventing as long as
possihl an appeal 10 the people. The
straight Conservatives, OF course. sus-
tain the government on general prinei.

IL they do not. Gladstone may in one
way or another get back into power.
The government thus holds the ma
jority compaetly together and there /,
but small probability OF a question
arising on which it will meet defeat.
II is altogether probable that Salisbury
will remain In power until the lapse OF
time makes general election neoes-
sary. Even then the battle will be
hard and the issue doubtful Though
