DIslNTgeRArloN IS CERTAIN.

Referring TO the result Of the Canadian
elections, the London Spectator says;
We rather regret the result, which will
encourage the Americans in their belief
that Canada can be- ceercei by hostile
tariffs, while Il foI bids the trial Of .
great ard, as we think, perfectly safe
experiment. The Canadian Government
will DO weaker, tor and just now when
some arrangement or other must be made
with the United States 1t ne Dis par
ticularly 10 be strong
This Indicates that Sir Johns victory
as well as the doubtful methods by
which he gained IL, are not altogether
pleasing to his own party Ia England
This leads to the observation that such
methods as the class Of politicians to
which Sir John belongs are never satis
factory to their own partisans They are
received on sufferance merely, and so
soon rs the best elements Of the party
have AN opportunity such leaders are
either repudiated or the party Of which
they have control is abandoned
That Is what happened to the Republic
can party In 1884. The mugwumps at
tempted to correct the abuses within the
purity aud failing they left it. Since that
time there has been general hegira from
the party. Many men Of influence and
high standing have opanly and publicly
renouncelit and great many more who
are unknown but equally honest and in
dependent have quietly voted for Demo
cratic candidates.
The Farmers Alliance in the West is
drawn almost wholly from the ranks Of
the Republican party. la Illinois the
election Of General Palmer shows con-
clusively the disintegration Of the Re-
publican party there; while the elections
in Iowa and Kansas, the bulwarks Of the
Republican stronghold, are much more
significant evidences Of the same move
ment Those men who listen approx
ingly 20 the declarations OF tue "sockless
statesman" against the iniquity. inc
quality and fraud of the tariff will never
return to the fold Of the party which has
robbed them by the tariff
The Republican party Is sure to disln
tegrate because OF its sins just as the
Spectator" indicates that the Canadian
Tories will disintegrate because Of the
lying and cheating methods Of Sir John
Macdonald. He Is simply another sort Of
Quay. He is the exponent o. the Cana
dian methods OF onlliczlng, buying, lying
and cheating TO win elections Such men
aud such methods Laay be successful Ia a
few elections, but there cannot be any
permananey in course of fraud and
cheating.

fatters Mrs Malaprop on her intellec

Tothis the gallant Sir Anthony, who was

WAsHINGToN March 1s.-Nothing new
was received at the navy department about
the disasters TO the war vessel Galena and
the government naval tugs Nina and
Triana. A peculiar coincidence in con
nection with the wreck Of these three
vessels is that Co March 10, 1859, three
other United States vessels were destroyed
at Apia, Samoa. by the great three days
hurricane Another peculiar circumstance
connected with the disasters is that Lieu
tenant Commander II. w. Lyon, who com
manded the Triana, was the executive Of

Our correspondence from Harrington a
few days ego contained an item Of more
than usual interest, and as e may have
escaped the attention Of some Of our
readers we draw attention Co Il here. Ii
is wonderful story OF the power OF

lie has incurred the adverse criticism Of
some people who seem to be more dom

They say that men should not manage
an institution intended solely for the

replies that women, except in rare in

TO act rs directions.
In confirmation Of this contention she
related how three women, who were
managing independent departments in
New York stores and earning their own

Is not necessary that parties should be

Again the injury to the children will
neither be so great nor so much felt
And still again, there will be room for
repentance, reformation, reconciliation

In view of these considerations our
laws should be amended so as to conform
to the Divine law and the best interests
OF society Ia the meantime it is to be
hoped that both our courts and our Leg

J. ALEXANDER FULTON sends a letter
on marriage divorce to the EVENING
JOURNAL, because this paper has taken
more interest and made fairer presenta-
tion of both sides Of the subject The
EVENING JOURNAL Is wisely in favor Of
both marriage aud divorce. Its oonten-
tion Is that marriage should not be SO
easy as to become a moekery, and divorce
should not be rendered so difficult as
perpesuate injustice and foster crime A
pad marriage is not 50 beneficial to the
commonwealth, to society or to posterity
as a good divorce.

CONGRESSMAN NEIDRINGuAUs Of ST.
Louis, says that English tin plate manu-
facturers are offe,irg TO sell their goods
in this country at OLD ra es, regardless Of
the Increase Of duty In the Mckinley
bill Then the tariff Is not tax after
all New York Press
Against the testimony Of this vulgar
tariff robhing manufacturer, who voted
for free boraclc acid because he used It
in his own factory. pnd against free
tin because he wanted Ito encourage" his
own business, we quote from Senator
John Sherman thus:
Every law imposing duty on i'm
ported goods Is necessarily restraint
upon trade 1t imposes burden upon
the purchase and sale Of imported goods,
and tends to prevent every importation
The wit OF man could not
possibly frame tariff that would pro.
duce sl40, 000, 600 in gold without amply
protecting cur domestic Industry
Since Senator Sherman said that the
tariff has been Increased to produce
double that sum. He said at another
time that it was impossible 90 lay a tariff
Of 10 per cent even which would not IN
crease the price Of similar domestic
goods. Here Is one Republican against
another Republican Every one can take
his choice between Nledringhaus the tin.
plate statesman, and Senator Sherman.

distely lowered from the British ironclads
and also from the Swedish man-of-war

NEW YORK, March 1e-Late yesterday
afternoon Superintendent Mason, OF the
nssay Office, received notice from the di-
rector of the mint that the 81 100000 In
gold bars ordered by Seckelhemer & Co.
and Lazard Freres would not be allowed
to be taken for export and the request for
the bars was refused. This is the first
time in eight years that the government
has refused to allow gold bars to be taken
for export. Previous TO that time export
ers had 70 ship gold coin or buy gold bars
IN the open market. Three years ago the
assay Office had 100000 in gold bars, but
The steady drain for the last two years has
reduced their stock TO $4,000, 900. II the
firms named now desire 70 ship gold they
viii have to draw gold coin from the sub
treasury. This is what one OF the firms
says it will do. The coin, however, by
abrasion and other causes is expected to
show a loss Of weight OF one-eighth per
cent. If smelted on the other side, and it is
thought that this additional charge will
prevent any further shipments unless the
demand from abroad is extremely urgent.
