Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON. Feb. 25.-The DoncaSter election Is q
severe blow TO the Gladstonians. IL is the nrst
occasion the government has won a seat from the
opposition since the general election That it
should occur In Yorkshire, which went almost
solid for home rule, is considered almost inexpll-
cable. The liberals console themselves by think
ing that they have many gains TO set against this
one defeat and point to the fact that their total
is not decreased but Increased more than three
hundred, although the unionists' total increased
more than 500. Fttzwilliam undoubtedly had
great local influence. Nearly all the property
there belongs TO his family. He strained every
nerve even, as alleged, TO the very verge OF In
tlmidation. Moreover, the liberal candidate, Bal
four, is unknown, whereas the late member, Shir-
ley, Is q son OF the town clerk OF Doncaster. The
hopes OF the liberals are now centered on Dept
ford, where they hope TO win a seat by way OF
compensation. They are rather handicapped,
however. by the fact that their candidate, Blunt,
Is still In prison. Balfour spite OF the fact that
the Judge In the appeal case declared Blunt guilty
only OF technical ofense, dares not release him,
for fear the sensation would make in his favor and
further his chance OF being elected

THE DIVISION OF cALIFoRsIA.

However earnest those who favor
the division OF California may be and
whatever merit there may be in their
cause. it is altogether improbable that
their efforts viii lie successful. il is
one Of the unwritiea laws Of the Re
public that no state shall DO divided
Only once has the operation OF this
been suspended, and that was under
Circumstances OF an extraordinary
nature and such as can never again
occar
The strength Of the feeling Of con-
servstism which protests against the
changing OF boundary lines when they
are once Fixed is truly remarkable.
The people OF state look upon those
who favor its division a. il. a certain
sense disloysl, and the members Of
congress paTiake Of this feeling. The
argument which would induce them
90 divide state. unite two states. or
in any other way interfere with estab-
l!shed boundary lines. must, ia deed
be strong one.
The case Of North Idaho affords an
instance OF this coaservatism. The
boundaries Of Idaho we're drawn with
ont reference to natural boundaries
and the northern portion should un-
qae-iiouably have been a portion Of
Washington. The arguments in favor
o. Is annexation To Wa hjngton have
been both strong and May and they
have bosn ably and persi>tently pte-
sentcd The arguments against an
neSation have been none At all Yet
every attempt q baug about lesisia-
ton in The matter has failed. aud
North Idaho Il doomed TO remain for
ever in the poH'icsl partnership 20
which i, was consigned by the con
yrcomau who drew come random
lines on tie map and called the space
between them Idaho
The California divisionlsts might
save time and energy by remembering
the failure which has attended every
attempt except one, TO divide a state
OF the Union.
