strengthen the party in power. The chief of
these are the corporations, the subsidized rail

Tory tariff. They bring to Sir John an i'm

naked questions of policy, he could not COM

CANADIAN PARTTFS-WHAT THEY MEAN

No previous campaign in Canada approaches
the present one in interest or importance. Net
only the policy but the destiny OF Canada Will
be profoundly affected by the result, far more, Of
course. by the Governments defeat than by IFS
victort. For Sir John Macdonald does not
represent a policy upon which Canada can strike
ont in any direction whatever. He stands for
delay. He claims that the present condition
Of things is well enough for the present, and
he advocates letting well enough alone until
the country has had time to reflect, and to come
10 a decision as to its future with substantial
unanimity. II is true that under the stress OF
campaign necessities he has gone much further
toward advancing the claim that a colonial form
of government is ideal than he has ever gone
before. lie has talked about living and dying
under the noble old flag" and about "building
ND a mighty nation under the flag of England,
rs if he really thought dependency a good thing
in itself. But. Of course, he doesn't. lie Is
talking campaign buncombc, and if the Ca
nadians are the sturdy, independent, liberty
loving people we have always taken them to
he. he will find it a sorry sort of buncombe for
him and his ambitions.
II scarcely needs to be argued that the rela-
tOn OF master ana SidNt, no HldlttI hON IL may
be mitigated by the slaves strength or the
masters good nature, is not a relation to be
cultivated, praised or held up as supremely
felicitous. 1t may be at times convenient on
both sides. 1t may enable the dependent party
to accomplish his interests more surely and ex-
peditiously for a season than would be possible
were he to declare his own sovereignty. That
would require him to assume his own response
b%ilities. a. well as his rights, and in the case of
the Canadians it may be that they are not yet
ready for such a step. But not one Tory in ten
would acknowledge that he favored the per-
pctuity Of the British tic. He might favor in
depenccnce, or British federation, and he might
think that these policies would best be con-
served by the continuance of Sir Johns gov
ernment or he might not know just what he
did favor, choosing to support Sir John on the
principle of delay. But there is not a serious
person in Canada who ~pretends to be unre-

SILVER PRICES and DENAGOG YES.

The one altogether unloyely characteristic Of
silver men is their obstinate blindness to the
teaching Of events. The world likes 4 ~rcsolute
and persistent man. But the world has no more
hearty contempt for any other creature than for
the lOng-eared animal whose very lame is a
term OF opprobrium, or for the Bourbon who
learns nothing and forge!S nothing. May not
the rood people of the silver States proiitably
consider whether the leaders they have been
following are not of the long-eared kind Would
il not profit them TO study events, and to draw
from them the lesson that Eastern advice about
monetary questions is sometimes worth hearing ?
The price of silver during the latter part Of
1889 and the early part of 1890 had been COM
paratively steady, about "A pence per ounce at
London. or 90 IL cents at New-iork. II had
recovered considerably from the lowest price,
Al SIS pence in 1855, especially after the cleo
ton of President Harrison and a Republican
Congress. for il was felt that whatever could
be reasonably and safely done to give silver a
real and permanent improvement in value would
assuredly be done. Secretary Window had pro-
posed in December, 1889, a remarkably wise
and shrcwd plan, which might have been car
RED. and would have given the white metal a
sure and lasting advance, how great 1t is i'm
possible to say. But silver spectators, siiHs>
demagogues and silver fanatics were not salts
fed to have the problem solved simply and hon.
estly. They lifted up a howl for free coinage,
denounced MIR. WINDOWS plan as a degradation

Mr.. Foster has been promptly and unanimous
" confirmed by the Senate as Secretary OF the
Treasury. The nomination was made on oatur-
day; on Monday it was referred, in accordance
with precedent, to the Finance Committee on
Tuesday it was confirmed. Secretary Foster
has arranged his business in such a way tha'
he will he able to assume his duties at WASH
ington in a few days. The wisdom OF the new
law which gives the President thirty days IN
which to fill a vacancy IN his Cabinet is made
evident by the exceedingly satisfactory outcome
in this case. Ten days was too short a time for
a President to make sure of getting the night
man for a great office.

ELECTIONS MAY BE TOO FREQUENT.

From Tho Boston AdVertiSer.
II Representatives are likely to be faithful in pro-
portion TO the frequency of elections, II is hard 10 seq
why II would not be well to amend the Constitution 80
rs TO provide for voting every month, or perhaps every
saturday afternoon. The experience of those states,
Of which there are many. that once had annual cleo
tons and now have biennial tends 10 show that Rep
resentatives serve their constituents with equal fidelity
and greater efficiency when terms Of service are long
enough to give a chance to acquire the skill that comes
from experience.

The fact that 10000 or 1900 persons visited
the Museum Of Natural History in this city on
Monday ought TO make an impression on the minds
NJ those Brooklynites-a small number, we trust
who think that it will not be a wise use OF public
funds to set aside n moderate amount in order TO
enable that city TO enjoy the benefits which IN
evitably flow from public museums. They are,
in fact, an educational force of large magnitude IN
any community; ard that they are keenly APP
nreciated is shown by the attendance noted on
Washington's Birthday. Brooklyn ought to be
able to offer the same privileges to its citizens.

The liquor fight is ON" at Albany, and it is
obvious that the saloon interest, with the aid OF
its " friend" Governor Hill, will make a des-
perate struggle. Our Albany columns to-day
contain a summary of the liquor-dealers' bill for
Sunday liquor-selling. This, as we understand
il. is the measure which has been more than
once submitted to Governor Hill for his APP

were a good share Of the city'S population. They
ant they saw, and were captiyated. The
Bench Show is unanimously voted a brilliant

them is to consider the dog a more lovable and

There is certain to be a good deal OF indigna-
ton displayed by residents Of South Brooklyn II
the proposition of the reOrganized Union ferrJ
Company TO increase fares on the two ferries
which do not come into direct competition WIN
the Bridge is carried into effect. Unfortunately
for themselves, the people of Brooklyn nave
nothing to say about the matter-that is, nothing
officially. The question of rates of fare IS 10 DC
determined solely by the Sinking-Fund Commls-
sioners of this city when they renew the lease heAo
month, and nothing except an act of the Legs
lature can prevent the change If these COnihlls'
sioncrs see fit to make it. The plan is to abandon
the present system CT selling tickets IN pacKages
at the rate of seventeen for twenty-five CENTS al"
also TO suspend the commission hours from D 10
80 morning and evening, when the fare Is ohiS
one cent. In other words, the fare in the future
Is 10 be two cents at all hours on the South ana
Hamilton ferries. One effect of the INTRODUCTION
Of such a policy will be to stimulate BrooKlyhites
to renewed e%xertions to provide other means Tran
the ferries for crossing the East River.
