LAST weeks election through
out the Union terminated much as
it did in Kansas, only more so.
In that state, in 1888, there was a
Republican majority of $4,000.
This year the average majority or
the state ticke was 5000, leaving
out the attorney general, who was
beaten by 10000 or 10000. Only
one Republican congressman was
elected, Mr.. Funston. Everything
in the county that was doubtful
and much that was not, went
Democratic. Oklahoma elected a
Republican, Hon. D. NJ. Harvey,
as territorial delegate. Whether
there is too much tariff for the
people remains to be seen but
there was certainly too much for
the Republican party. When you
strike at mans pocket, or when
he thinks you are doing SO, you
strike at a vital spot.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

The alliance of Russia and France is
probably q fact. Since 1877 there has been
an understanding between the two countries,
and from force Of crcumstancesi it has become
more friendly each year, until now formal
alliance, offensive and defensive, is an
nounced. Among the first-class powers of
Europe neither France nor Russia could Sc
cure any other ally. The Dreibund still
holds together Germany, Austria and Italy.
England and Germany have Joined hands
anew in the partition of Equatorial Africa.
Spain is not worth considering with an In
FAINT King and strong disposition to revo-
luton at all times. The minor countries OF
Europe are mostly under the protection and
in the power of the Dreibund.
1t certainly ought not to disturb Euro
pean statesmen to hear that France and
Russia are allies by actual treaty. The
memory of the Crimea is forgotten of course.
Long memories are questionable at Euro
pean courts anyhow, witness the love of
Germany, Italy and Austria for each other,
that were but score of years ago at bayonet
points.

against the reproductiveness Of the Aus
tralian bunnies. A similar case of the
ability of the most diminutive and weak
creatures to defy the destructive work of
man is afforded by the English sparrow in
this country, which, after years of effort at
getting rid of them, still chirp derision at
thesuperior race.
Such a contrast as this also furnishes some
doubts as to the actual operation in nature
of the principle of the survival of the fit
test. In the conflict between animals alone
the theory may work that the strongest, and
those most fully armed with natural weap-
ons of attack and defense, will survive; al
though the extinction of the prehistoric
monsters even casts doubt on that belief.
powerful and ierocious beasts perish and the
weak and timid ones survive. 1t is not
strength or fighting abilities that preserves
any race OF beasts; but the prolific powers of
reproduction which the smaller and appa-
rently most defenseless animals possess to
the greatest degree.
These aspects OF the Australian rabbit
plague do not furnish any solution to the
puzzled inhabitants of that continent, but
there may be some instruction in the natural
law which they bring out, and the inquiry
whether there are no parallels to it in the
history of the human race. Have the most
warlike, or even the most Intellectual races
proved the most permanent? Persians,
Macedonians, Romans, Arabs and Euro
peaus have conquered the countries of
Africa, but the meek Egyptian and the
patient negro have endured, while most of
the conquering races have died out. The
brave, cunning and hardy Indian has been
pennej up in few reservations of this con-
tinent, while the exotic negroes have borne
servitude and multiplied even more
rapidly than the free Indians have perished.
The history of men and beasts seems to warn
us that the strife for existence is not to be
won by the most powerful, and that there is
more than a moral truth in the divine
declaration that ''The meek shall inherit
the earth"

THE STRENGTH OF WEAKNESS.

The conflict in Australia, between the
colonists who have been occupying that con-
tineut for little more than generation, and
the weak but prolific rabbits who are still
more recent arrivals, is most remarkable in
its illustration that the most powerful ami
mails, best equipped by nature with the
means of defending their existence, are not
those which most successfully defy extermi-
nation.
Civilized man has made a record for the
successful determination of the most savage
and powerful beasts of tine wilderness.
Within the memory of every man the buff
falo of this continent, whose vast herds on
the Western plains threatened destruction
to whatever got in the path of their resistless
rush, have been utterly wiped out. The
grizzly bear has been cut down to few
shaggy veterans in the mountain fastn esses.
In Africa, the elephants, whose strength
caused even the lions to SINK away, are
rapidly being wiped out. In India, the
lion is perishing, and even in our Southern
States, it has recently been found necessary
to save the alligstors from extinction.
While man has thus everywhere tri-
umphed by successful slaughter of the most
powerful and savage beasts of prey, the
meek and fugacious rabbit, in country
where he was not even a native, has thriven
and multiplied SO rapidly that he is now
threatening to drive out the human race.
The people who can exterminate elephants,
bufaloes, grizzlies and Lions. are powerless

GRAND CONVENTION

The International Sunday School Con-
vention which began its session here in
formally yesterday represents one of the
greatest Outstanding influences of the
times. Pittsburg is highly honored by the
presence of twelve hundred men and women
assembled to advance such a cause. At
day when SO many men are putting
their faith in scientific shiboleths, in
isms of all sorts, it is a
real blessing to be reminded of the strength
of our Christian institutions. Here we have
in this convention the representatives of
more than ten millions of Sunday school
teachers and scholars, attending one hun
dred and twelve Thousand schools on this
continent. Considerably more than one
tenth of the population of North America
will take lively interest in the proceedings
of this convention. Its importance can
hardly be exaggerated.
We are glad that Allegheny county
makes such brave showing with her Sun
day schools. By an unfortunate error ALLIE
gheny county was represented at the Worlds s
Sunday School Convention last year as
having only ten thousand teachers and
scholars in her Sunday schools, whereas in
reality she has three hundred and thirty
eight schools, seven thousand three hundred
and twenty-nine teachers and officers and no
less than si1tY-eight thousand eight hundred
and eleven scholars! Splendid figures in
deed

CONGRESS AND THE TRUSTS.

When the Senate bill for the suppression
of trusts was passed by that body, the news
papers opposed to such legislation made
good deal of the fact that there was an ad-
vance in Sugar Trust certificates To those
who have taken the trouble to observe the
way in which that most manipulated Of
stocks is put up and down by the managers
of the Trust for the delusion of unwary
spectators, there was nothing strange in
such movement. The Trust managers
found it easy to mark up the price of certii-
Gates few points. and had double purpose
in doing SO. They might effect the result
which their organs tried SO strenuously to
prod uce, of convincing the weakened that
legislation of that sort would be futile. and
they might persuade the lambs, under the
expectation of a bull movement, to rush in
and buy certificates.
The fact that when the conference report
on this bill was agreed to, last Saturday,
Sugar Trust certificates tumbled per cent,
proves that the first object was not attained;
but some of the details indicate that the sec
ond was. It is stated that there are large
outside holdings, and that the managers of
the trust who are bank directors refuse to
lend money on them any longer. This is
equivalent to a declaration that the Trust
certificates are valueless as security; but it
also carries with it the inference that when
the price is sufficiently depressed the Trust
managers will absorb them once more and
carry out their announced intention of con-
verting the Trust into corporation. That
intention, by the way, is a new exhibition
of the conventional Trust idea that illegal
practices can be made legal by changing the
name under which they are carried on.
OF course this manipulation for the pur-
pose of fleeing the shareholders, toward
whom the managers occupy professed posi-
ton OF trust, would under any strict sys-
tenn of morals be termed swindling. But
small matter like that does not worry the
Trust managers at all. Their organization
was got up for the express purpose of plum
dering the consumers by the suppression of
com petition; and ss it makes the fleeing Of
spectators and investors particularly easy,
the Trust managers are not to be blamed if
they do not see why they should not practice
one form of dishonesty as we'll as the other.
1t is pleasant to learn that the enactment
of the new law by Congress produces a
practical evidence that this method of
fleeing the people is made difficult and
dangerous. If Congress will follow up this
bill by provision removing the duty from
products on which the purpose of protec-
tion in stimulating domestic competition, is
defeated by combinations. it will fully re-
deem the Republican pledge to e1tinguish
the Trusts

TO REACH SOUTH AMERICA.

A very large majority Of the most notable
manufacturers of Pittsburg's staple prod.
ucts are now upon record as favoring the
subsidizing of steamship lines, in order to
enable the United States to compete with
Europe in the markets of South America.
The interviews which THE DISPATCH OBJ
tanned from the leading iron, steel
and glass men of this city yesterday
show beyond all question that Pittsburg,
as the greatest manufacturing center in
the country, is fully alive to the advantages
of extending its markets, and has pro-
nounced views in favor of Governmental aid
to such an end. There seems to be very little
doubt, moreover. that with subsidized steam
ship lines American manufactures would
supersede the European in the South Ameri-
can countries, without any diminution Of
the wages paid to labor in this country.
Some of the glass manufacturers think

Is 1T ANY USEe

District Master Workman Kerfoot, of the
knights of Labor, proposes to call together
all the miners of his district and concen-
trate them upon the work of digging out the
imprisoned miners at Dunbar. 1t is late in
the DAY to make such proposal as this, but
everyone would applaud it, on the principle
of better late than never, if it had not been
authoritatively declared over and over again
that only a limited number of men could be
employed in cutting way to the unfortunate
miners in the Dunbar mine, and that all the
men that could be used were on hand. The
statements of employers and men upon this
matter have been equally clear. A few men
only could work at one time, and there were
volunteers In plenty. Still, If Mr.. Kerfoot
can further the salvation of the buried
miners by holding meeting and sending
reinforcements to the heroic rescuers at
Dunbar, the meeting should be held.
