THE TORONTO TROUBLE.

1t is not explained how it is that the
people of Toronto are so intense in their
devotion to the Sabbath as day for
stopping all the secular wheels. There
is no other city in Canada so rigid in
this matter. and it is not believed there
is III the world city of its size that so
generally interdicts secular activities
on the first day of the week. Not even
a soda water stand is allowed to be
opened, no newspapers can be sold, no
street car can run, and even the hack
men are subdued in demeanor, and
never swear on Sunday. This is, how
ever, taken with discount. The chief
and most attractive park is too far out
to walk to, and the average citizen does
not like to pay hack charges. So much
discomfort has grown up at the
situation that it is becoming the
issue in local politics. and at the munic-
ipal election in the spring the feeling
will find its expression in the ballot box.
The immediate demand is for the run
ming OF the street cars. 1t is not certain,
however. that the people really want
any change. The leading paper, the
Empire, takes ground strongly in OPP
position. 1t says that outside Of few
special classes named there is no gen.
eral demand for the cars. To concede
that would be the opening wedge to a
condition alien to the quietude and
solemn stagnation that has so long OBJ
tanned. The physical as we'll as moral
welfare is at stake. The paper says
those who are persuaded to vote for the
Sunday cars would bitterly rue it one
day if the proposals were to carry"

SENATORIAL CONTESTS.
Decisions Likely to Be Reached in
Short Order.


WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The first for
NAL meeting of the senate committee
on privileges and elections was held this
morning, The only business transacted
was the appointment of Tuesday next
for the hearing of the attorneys argu-
mentS in the Idaho contested cleo
ton case of Dubois and Claggett. 1t
Is thought that the arguments can he
concluded in two or three days, and the
case disposed of.
Thursday the Call-Davidson contested
election case will be heard, and this,
like the Idaho case, will consist of ar
guments by Davidson'S attorney in sup
port of the legality of the governor of
Florida'S action in giving the certificate
OF election to Davidson, the contestant.
Another subject before the committee
is the right of Mr.. Chiffon, of Texas,
VINO succeeded Senator Reagan, to hold
his seat, the only question involved
being the legality of the appointment of
Mr.. Chiffon by Gov. Hogg one day be-
fore Senator Reagan's resignation was
accepted. 1t is thought by some sena-
tors that the appointment of a senator
to vacancy before the resignation OF the
sitting member had been accepted was
bad precedent to establish, as in some
instances the resigning senator might
reconsider his determination to leave
the senate and request that his resigna-
ton be withdrawn. 1t is not probable,
however, that Senator Chiffon will be
ou5ted. and even if it should be it is re-
garded as certain that he would be i'm
mediately reappointed by the governor
of the state. The senate committee on
public buildings and grounds held it's
first meeting of the season this morning.
1t was determined to report favorably
all bills for the erection of public build
ings which passed the senate last ses-
sion, but failed of action by the house,
and this will probably be done when the
senate meets Monday. The total amount
represented in these bills is over S.
100000, made up of appropriations
ranging from $4,000 to 100000 Among
them are bills far the erection of public
buildings at Allentown and Brad
aord, Pa.

BAD FOE THEM.

If the Republicans are correct. one
of the first things the Democrats in the
New York legislature will do will be to
pass bill providing for the enumera-
ton of the population of the state next
spring. This will furnish the basis for
the apportionment, and is what troubles
the Republicans. They have for five
years neglected to carry out the re-
Quirements of the constitution in max
ing the apportionment, for which state
census is authorized. A new census
seems to them an unwarranted expense.
Mr.. PORTER took one last year that
ought to be used. 1t will be remem-
bered that New York city was
one of the heavy kickers at the
PORTER count. A police enumera-
ton was had Immediately after, with
discovery of more than 100000
people that had not been counted. New
York city and Brooklyn would be given
their full numbers, probably 100000
more than the figures OF the PoR-
TER census of 1890. This will be
followed by an apportionment based
upon population, which is all the
Democrats need to give them the
legislature most of the time. With a
majority of $4,000 in the popular vote,
they have by the hardest work a bare
majority in the senate. Yet the Repub-
lican organs are Mortified at the perver-
ion of the popular will in their not
being allowed to hold the legislature.
In party way they may we'll shudder
at the prospect before them.

surd error. There are blanks on the

were able to get their names printed on

to freedom of the franchise as the right
to vote at all. 1t is strange that intelli-
gent citizens who aim to enlighten
others can entertain the notion that any
legislature or law could prescribe the
action of the voter in his choice of can
didates. Unless man can vote for a
dark horse, or scattering, he has less
than the full panoply of the freeman in
the matter OF suffrage. No law can
compel him to vote for any man he does
not see fit to.

THEY ALL sMuGGI.E.

A writer in the Christian Union finds
an illustration of the effect of high tariff
upon the morals of border communities
in the condition near the line between
Maine aud New Brunswick. Calais is on
the United States side of the line and
q couple of towns on the other side are
connected by number of bridges.
The three towns are virtually one COM
munity of about 1900 population.
Some classes of goods are cheaper on
one side than the other, but the retail
dealers have uniform prices OIL both
sides. This is regulated by smuggling.
This is business as we'll established
as any other. Nearly every man i'll the
community is smuggler or in league
with those who follow the business. No
discredit attaches to it, and seldom are
persons engaged in it confronted with
the law in ALI unpleasant way. The
writer moraIiZes on the spectacle of-en-
lightened and Christian communities
evading and defying the laws of their
lands in this way. The picture can
hardly be drawn in too strong colors.

WAGES OF LABOR.

An English sojOurner in st. Paul, who
has been for quarter of century
identified chiefly with the iron and steel
industries of England, calls attention to
the fact that the labor cost of steel rails
is no greater now in this country than in
Great Britain, yet tariff of S12 ton is
insisted upon to shut off foreign CON-
petition and make things financially
pleasant for the trusts and CARNEGIES.
The same party insists further that GER

ufactures. In new developing country
of great resources labor is usually in
greater demand than in the old and
crowded regions, and consequently can
command larger requital. Its compen-
Sations are regulated in the main by the
laws of demand and supply. Labor or
CARNATIONS bring in the most effective
modifying influences. 1t has been
shown by a recent investigator that
these have been made to increase the
wages Of nearly all classes of labor in
England by very handsome per cent.
Protective tariffs cut no figure in the
advancement of wages. In fact, so far
as such tariffs have effect, they are likely
to be detrimental to labor. In the Ohio
campaign last fall Gov. CAMPBELL
challenged Maj. MCKINLEY to point out
single industry in the whole land in
which the wages of the operatives had
been increased by virtue of the higher
duties. There was no attempt at reply.
1t was stated also that a list of 800 in
dustries had been compiled in which
the wages of the Workmen had been re-
duced since the passage of the MCKIN-
LEY bill. The number has been con-
stantly growing since, in spite of the
fact that the conditions of trade and
general business have been good. The
workingmen are coming to understand
that they are indebted to the protection
system for increased taxation ON the

REINDEER FOR ALASKA.
Senator Teller to Push a Bill Gov
eriHg the Subject.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Senator Teller
intends to push, during this congress,
bill he has introduced providing for the
Introduction of reindeer into the posses
sions of the United States in Alaska
and the Islands adjacent thereto. An
excellent object lesson on the subject
adorns his committee room on privi-
Teges and elections. 1t is fine large
robe made of the skin and fur of four
reindeer. The fur is of beautiful
dark-brown color. 1t is, the senator
says, perhaps the warmest fur known.
and the skin makes excellent gloves.
The fur is used by whale vessel men,
who find they cannot put on other
clothes enough to keep warm, while two
suits of reindeer5 fur afford protection
from the most inclement weather. Mr..
Teller thinks it would be an excellent
article of clothing for drivers and others
in the cold regions of the West. The
animals cost $40 each, and their flesh
and the milk the live animals yield are
the principal food of the Laplanders.
A considerable number of the natives
on the Aleutiau islands, belonging to
the United States. have heretofore sub
sisted on the sea otter, but this source
of supply will soon cease, and Senator
Teller thinks that not only commercial
reasons land he believes commercially
it would be a paying investment), but
humane considerations should induce

for the purchase of a sufficient number

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The cabinet
meeting today was attended by all the
members, including Secretary Blaine,

the White house gave no indication
whatever of his recent illness. Secre-
tary ElkinS met with the cabinet for the

that he had not seen Mr.. Blaine since
last evening, when he had fully recoy-
cred from the attack of the day before.
He then considered the secretary
so we'll that he told him he
would not call again unless requested.
The attack was brought on by indiscre-
ton and lack Of exercise; and with pru-
dence in these respects it would not oc-
cur again. Dr.. Hyatt, in conclusion,
said he regarded the secretary's general
health as very good. The secretary
spent the morning in his library at
home with his private secretary, Mr..
Dent. going over number of docu-
ments which had been transmitted from
the state department for his eXamina-

LEADS TO THE DEMOCRATS

=
A lugubrious Republican organ sadly
walls that independence in legislative
halls, as we'll as in newspapers, ALWAYS
leads to alignment with the Democracy
whenever the test comes practically.
Two present illustrations in the legis-
latures ale cited. In New York Sena-
tor EDWARDS refused to remain out of
his seat at the organization TO enable
the Republicans to break quorum and
produce deadlock. He simply did his
duty as a man OF conscience and hon
esty. He was elected as. an independ-
ent Republican, and voted with that
party, so far as his convictions would
admit; but he was not party
slave, ready to put it before
his official duty. He took his
seat in the senate, as he was elected
to do. He knew the practical result
was to enable the Democrats to organize
and control that body. He is the object
of Remuneration by the Republicans for
not deserving his post to enable them to
prevent the legislature from discharg-
ing its functions. The theory of those
who aSsail him is that party should be
served first, and regardless of public ID
terests. The other instance is in Iowa.
and somewhat similar. Senator ENGLE,
anindependent who has been Repub-
lican, holds the balance of power in the
smaller branch of the legislature, and
it is assumed that his vote will be with
the Democrats in all important mat
tiers. 1t is natural that this should be
so. independence in politics as parties
are now constituted could hardly have
any significance if it were not protest
against the spirit and policy of the Re-
publican party. 1t has become the
agent of favored classes and special IN
terests, its policies are provincial and
retrogressive; and the progressive, lib
eral spirit is chafed by its narrow con-
fines. All true independence IN poll
teal affairs must necessarily lead away
from it, and it is high compliment to

THEY CAN,T HELP III.

The Michigan plan worries the Re-
publicans of that state because they
fancy that they can carry the state this
year. as they have always done at presi-
dental elections. In fact, they foam at
the mouth and propose to go into court
over the point that the state has been
divided into two districts for the two
electors representing the senator's.
When they get down the constitution
and brush off the dust they find this
statement:
Each state shall appoint, in such manneri
as the legislature thereof may direct, a num-:
Der OF electors equal to the whole number of
senators and representatives 10 which the
state may be entitled in the congress-
Another clause gives congress the an-
thority to determine the time of choos-
ing the electors, which shall be on the
same day in all the states. This is all
that they have to base their case on if
they get into court. There is no intima-
ton OF requirement that the two elect
ors at large shall be chosen by general
ticket. The Democrats run line
through the center of the state, north
and south, and put one elector each side
of it. Every voter can cast his ballot
for one district and one semi-state
elector. 1t is an exposure of ignorance
to claim that this is in violation of the
constitutional provision. 1t is clearly in
the option of the legislature to choose the
electors itself. or provide for their cleo
ton by such districts as it sees fit. If
it does not suit the Republicans, there
is no way they can help it this time
