The Parneliites Score a Great Victory at
Waterford.
The Parnellite party has secured new
lease of life and the adherents of the dead
leader are wild with joy. The election at
Waterford resulted in victory for John f.
Redmond. who defeated Michael Davltt
(McCarthyite) for member of Parliament TO
succeed the late Richard Power. The re-
suit is a heavy blow TO the McCarthyites,
who were confident of victory. 1t is now
believed to be certain that the followers OF
the late Mr.. Parnell, as represented under
the leadership OF Mr.. Redmond, will in a
number of other seats and be able to main
tain themselves as distinct party for some
time to come. The Parnelites had been
driven into their last intrenchment. into
the last ditch, but they rallied nobly,
fought with the most grim determination
and have handsomely routed their enemies.

spirit Of our Anglo-Saxon institutions is
strongly in favor Of The utmost publicity in
everything connected with the administra-
ton Of justice Anything sav0ring Of the
inquisitorial methods Of Latin peoples is
entirely repugnant TO IT, Theoretically, the
old -fashionad way, where man was arrested
by his neighbors, tried by them at home in
the presence OF the entire County, and If
found guilty hanged 10 a tree in the presence
Of the whole community, is much the best
way Bat ID is alleged, with truth, that these

FITTING on THE PRESSURE.

If the report be true that the President
will within a few days issue proclamation
restoring the duties on coffee, sugar, mOlas-
ses, tea, and other articles with those coun-
tries which have not concluded reciprocity
treaties with US, the act is to be commended.
We must make reciprocity mean something,
which we cannot do if we allow non-recipro-
eating nations to have as many advantages
in our markets as those which have given
our people special favors. Political economy
has been well-defined as "the policy of en-
lightened selfshness," and this indicates
most strongly that we should do everything
10 clasp our friends most closely to us and
secure the greatest advantages for our own
people. The American market is the most
valuable to other countries of any in the
whole world. They are all ready to make
most important concessions to us to get
access TO il, if they cannot have this without
those concessions. For many years France,
Germany, Austria, England, Italy, and some
of the smaller countries have been legislat-
ing directly against us. While anxious to
sell us goods, they have done their best to
diminish the quantity that we should sell
them. The reciprocity policy turns the ia
bles on them, and it should be made vital
and operative
The countries which will be affected by
the reimpOsitiOn Of the duties will be Ger
many, which has not yet ratified the treaty,
and is particularly anxious TO have free
entry for her beet sugar; Mexico, Guate-
mala, Costa Rica, Salvador, Colombia
Venezuela, Peru, and Ecuador, which have
treaties pending. All these have important
commerce with US in sugar, molasses, coffee
hides, etc, which will be embarrassed by the
reimposition Of the duties, to the benefit Of
such countries as Brazil and Cuba, whose
treaties are already in operation.
