THE CANADA ELECTION.

The election in Canada for members
of the new parliament is to be on the
18th Of March. The body consists OF 215
members, and the contest over the re-
suit is becoming quite heated. The
parties are the Conservatives and Lib
erals. The former had about so ma
iority in the late parliament, and, with
Sir JOHN MACDONALD at their head,
have control of the government. He is
able and crafty, and is sometimes COM
pared to JAMES q. b AINE. PLAUSIBLE
ity and fairness on the surface cover
schemes that are of the heather Chinee
order. He has arranged for this general
election on so short notice, before the
expiration Of the term of parlia-
ment, in order to defeat the
growing feeling in favor of lib
eral commercial relations with the
United States. The ostensible object
is to have a body fresh from the peo-
pie to cooperate with MACDONALD for
better trade relations with this country.
He is a prOtectiOniSt, and, with the Con-
sentative party, finds the highest politi-
cal duty in subserviency to the British
crown. Their policy looks away from
their continental neighbors across the
waters, and would preserve association
with aristocratic institutions as a bar
rier to the popular government of the
continent. There is no purpose to ac.
cept or propose any feasible trade rela-
tons with this country. The Liberal
party comprises the elements that favor
closer relations with the United States.
Some favor annexation, but that is not
a present issue, although the Conserva-
tives bring it in and appeal to the 10y
atty of the people and attachment to
the queen. The issue is that of trade
with the United States. with the MAC
DONALD government occupying an in
sincere position. Prof. GOODWIN SMITH,
of Toronto, states the party positions as
follows in a letter to the New York
Times:
The immediate issue is that of trade with
the United States. But beneath this lies
the broader issue between a continental and
an au%ti-eoutinental policy. The Liberals of
Canada, whether they look for the ultimate
entrance of Canada into the American Union
or not. are now men of this continent, re-
gard the inhabitants of the rest of it as part
ners, and desire to cultivate the closest re-
lations with them. The conservatives are
anti-continental: they desire to keep Canada
in all things divided from her continent and
attached TO Great Britain, where the social
center of their party lies. Practically they
seek to make Canada the engine of the Con.
seryative aristocracy of Great Britain for
a~yerting the triumph OF democracy in tho

SMALL BUT
A Revered Pipe Which Many
Times Saved Its Owners Life.

N IIDe HIGH MANY
Times Saved Its Owners Life.
A curious piece of bric-a-brac hangs
by a slender thread from the gas burner
in the muster room of a Brooklyn police
station, says the New York Telegram.
Policeman Mark Annerman has watched
it hanging there many years. He re-
places the thread when it seems about
to break, keeps the flies from gathering
OH it in summer time, aud reSentS any
frivolous remarks about it on the part of
the patrolmen of the precinct. 1t is an
ordinary clay pipe, such as can be pro-
cured for a penny, but its original
beauty is gone. The stem is a short
stub. broken off neal the bowl. Chips
of clay have been removed from the
edge of the bowl, and the whole surface
of the pipe is besmirched with smoke,
dust and nicotine. But to the owner it
is more precious than anything the sta
ton house contains. He had it with
him in the war, and it was in his waist
coat. or more likely his mouth, at his
muster out. Now it is the most woI-
Shipful object within the knowledge of
the Grand Army mel with whom An
herman associates.
Once a year the pipe is taken down
lEOlll It's perch uIutI Il0 gas DuIllcI W
grace the camp fire at his posts celebra-
ton of one of the great battles Of the
war. He relates how the Johnnies per-
forated his vest a dozen times trying to
break that pipe, and how on another occa-
sion a huge cannon ball coming straight
for him, was DETECTED from its curse
by the precious pipe. Many a time it
shielded him from sharpshOoterS' rifles
by enyeloping him III a cloud of smoke.
Then, carefully filling the pipe, he
passes it to his admiring comrades.
If there is q new man in the circle to
him is given the honor of the first draw.
If there is not the pipe goes back to its
owner unlighted. No one who has ever
taken a Whit at the old relic will do so
again. But if the "vets" can catch a
stranger they are happy. They watch
him as he inSpects the deadly thing.
They chuckle gleefully as he asks for a
match. They hold their sides as he
strikes the sulphur on his boot heel,
and when the blaze is drawn into the
tobacco they yell like madmen. Then,
while some of the party attend the
stricken man to an ambulance others
restore the sacred pipe to its owner. At
the next campfire this victim urges An
herman to bring forth the pipe again,
promising to have another nan there to
smoke it. Armenian declares that lie
is the only human being who can smoke
the pipe and live.

HarperS Bazar.
The rapidity with which brooms or
dinarily wear out is surprising. This
is partly due to leaving the broom stand
ing on It's brush end when not in use,
but more to carelessness in handling.
A piece of strong cloth, or, better yet,
of old woven under-f1annel or stockinet,
should be drawn on over the handle
and down below the place where the
broom splints are stitched. A few
stitches with strong cotton yarn should
fasten this cover, both at its lower edge
and gather and fasten it around the
handle. sewing the stitches through and
through. This cover holds the broom
splints together, and prevents their
breaking out and tearing off of the

niture does.

letters multiply as the charge TOR car
riage diminishes. The American sys-
TEN is based upon the theory that it
costs as much to haul the second pas
senger as IL does the first the stated
distance. The report of the interstate
commerce commission shows that the
average capacity of the railroad train is
200 passengers. while the average train
carries forty-two passengers. The
forty-two have to pay for the accommo-
dations provided for the POO. The zone
system proposes to fill up the cars
and reduce the tariff for each in pro-
portion. AS it is operated the road is
divided into a convenient number OF
zones, the fare about the same in each.
For instance. the lowest rate is 4 cents,
good for any station within 6.2 miles;
the next 8 cents. good for 1874 miles;
then II cents up to Is miles, IL cents up
to 81 miles, and so OIL to the twelfth
zone, which is $40 cents up to 2l1 miles.
After the twelfth the rate is 20 cents for
every 81 miles or fraction. This is cheap
riding, below what the roads in this
country car carry for or should be eX-
pected to. In%Austria there is in addi-
ton a small tax for baggage, and the
highest class equipage and fastest time
cost nearly double the figures. Still,
this affords an enormous ~dlsproportIon
with the American rate, not to be at
tributed entirely to sparse population
and greater expense IN operating the
roads. The JAY GOULD theory n a the
eXactions should be "what the tratnc
will bear has been the accepted II by
the railroad management. Small sales
on large margins, and not a big business
with close figures, have limited the utility
of the roads to the people.
AS a further advance. the minister of
the interior of Austro-Hungary has sug-
geSted the construction of an electric
line from Vienna to Buda-Pesth, a dis
lance of $50 miles, to be operated on the
zone method. Trains are to be run
every ten minutes at a high rate OF
speed. The fare between the two points
would be about so cents. 1t is claimed
that the electric motive force will allow
a lighter equipment and greatly reduce
the cost of the construction Of the road
bed, especially the masonry and bridges.
The government connection affords bet
ter opportunity for experimental feat
ures. But the successful methods can
be very profitably studied on this side
of the water.
1t is believed that any of the railroads
could safely attempt nor of the zone
feature III their suburban traffic.

THE SENATORIAL CONTESTS.

The confident prediction each week
for a month or more past, that the Sena-
torial contests in Illinois and South Da-
k0ta would come to an end, has failed so
regularly that the prophets are becom-
ing a little tired, and Speculatl0ns are
had as to the situation in case the dead
locks continue to the end of the session.
In both states the Republicans have
abandoned hope that their men can pull
through, and find satisfaction in the
theory that the Republican governors
can fill the positions until the legiSla-
lures meet again in 1893. The GLOBE
mas heretofore shown that this is a mis-
apprehension of the constitutional pro-
vision. The only event that could afford
any question i'll the matter would
be the adjournment of the leg
isIature before the 4th of March, when
the vacancy would commence. In 1879
the term of a senator from New Hamp-
shire expired on the 4th of March, when
the state legislature was not i'll session.
1t would not convene till June, and the
governor appointed Mr.. BELL TO sit in
the Intervening period. When his Gre
dentialS were presented to the senate
the committee gave the question of his
right to a seat protracted consideration,
and the majority reported adversely.
The minority report was in his favor.
The debate on the subject extended
over seven days, and finally the minor
ity report was adopted by a vote of 50 to
2S. Those who favored the seating of
Mr.. BELL, among them the pres
eut Senator HoAR, of Massachu-
sets. stated explicitly that the gov
ernor could not fill the posi-
ton longer than till the legislature had
had an opportunity to elect, and if it
cant. MATT CARPENTER, of Wiscon-.
sin, also expressed the same opinion
Senator DAVIS, so long a member of the
supreme court, said: "a vacancy with
in the meaning of the constitutional
provision does not arise by the failure
Of the legislature to elect"
There is no direct rulingof the senate
on the subject, but the opinions of the
abIest lawyers and jurists will undoubt-
edly be accepted as to the meaning of
the constitution.
The indications are that South Da-
kota will elect Mr.. KYLE, an indie
pendent or Alliance man acceptable to
the Democrats, and that if there is any
election in Illinois Gen. PALMER will
be the Ia If these are not the events
of theweek, signs are playing tricks.
