MEMRER EOR MIDLOTUI1N.

The Unionists will derive great consolation
from the reduction of Mr. Gladstonc's majority
in Midlothian. Fortunately for their calcula-
tons there was no contest in 1856 when Home
Rule was for the first time the controlling issue
in British politics. They can compare his ma
iority with that rolled up for him in 1885 be-
fore the Liberal party was divided by the Irish
issue 1t was then 4,63l, his opponent being
Sir Charles Darymple, an old-fashioncd Tory
Ii is now G73 against Colonel Wauchopc, a
Liberal Unionist Of great personal popularity
in the district Tho shrinkage Of his own vote
from 1875 is 2,129, and the increase in his
opponents is 1,s29, the total poll being 800
less than in that year The Unionists will
claim this reduction as an emphatic rcpudia-
ton Of his policy by constituency which he
has personally canvasscd. The result will be
undoubtedly a great disappointment to the
Liberal leader and his friends, since it implies
a loss of political prestige and personal author
ity A large reduction from the majority Of
1885 was inevitable, and would have been
recorded if there had been an open contest in
1856. The Liberal UnionSt has been strong
cr candidate than the Conservative was in 1850
and he has carried with him hundreds Of Scotch
l.
Rule even by Mr.. Gladstone's eloquent speeches.
Midlothian, moreover. is naturally a Con-
sentative constituency. In 1874 the Earl Of
Dalkcith carried it by a majority of 1875 votes
over Lord William ii. May. When Mr.. Glad
stone contested the division in 1880 he had
hard tight. The Earl of Dalkeith had the
powerful support of the Duke Of Bucclc,ich and
such artificial aid as could be derived from
fictitious votes on the fagot system. Mr.. Glad
stones majority was only oil after one of the
most exciting canvasses in English history
The pre;udccs of Conservative constituency
and the influence Of an aristocratic house were
overcome by appeals to the intelligence and
conscences of the voters. The large majority
in 1885 was mainly the result of temporary
enthusiasm caused by the extension of the
suffrage and the Liberal leaders stirring can
vass against a weak antagonist. A reaction
has followed, and the inherent conservatism

Our friends of the Prohibition party arc asked

than this: Every vote that is cast for him

canvass is concerned, while it will benefit the
candidates of the Democratic party. Do level

bolicye that the cause which they have at heart

EJpT,S IT, Field.

The death Of Cyrus W. Field ends career
Of wonderful activity, OF many and varied sue
cesscS and of one Supcravc achievement. II
is mournful TO think that such a life closed in
gloom and misery. No one was more familiar
with temporary revcrScs. for no one had refused
to surrender more often than he. 1t was his
destiny to encounter and subduc difficulties to
make obstacles the means of progress and to
knde confidence from his own glowing faith
All hoped that he would be able to overcome
once more, but the arduOus years had left thcil
mark, and body and spirit sank together beneath
the burden Of accumulated SORROWS. lie might
have borne loss and grief, but having lived to
be drawn within the shadow of disgrace he doubt
less felt that he had lived too long.
Mr.. Field has been known 50 long and so
familiarly in Newly ori, has been conspicuous
in 80 many operations of minor significance. and
has protracted his activities so far beyond tho
period Of his greatest triumph, that many have
failed TO retain or acquire an adequate sense of
the enormous obligation under which he had
put the whole world. 1t is easy to say that
others would have laid the Atlantic cable if he
bad not, that he merely fastened the process
that he wrested no secret from nature, that he
did not create but only extended ard that his
chief merit was his skill in manipulating the
powerful lever Of money. There are some per
sons who derive singular satisfaction from
suggesting such considerations as these when
over a great decd is done for the country or the
world, but their shallow and spiteful philosophy
does not deserve to make converts. The prize
belongs to the man who has won the race. and
not to belated aspirants who did not start.
Mr. Field died in the secure possession of
great fame fairly earned. lie conceived the idea
of electrical communication between America
and Europe. Others may have conceived the
idea simultaneously or before him. but he alono
undertook TO make the conception a reality. lie
persuaded three or four Of his countrymen to leak

who is familiar with the history ana tehoehcy
of the Democracy believe that it is an agency
upon which Prohbitionists can rely IN their
efforts to secure anything approaching, tenn
perance reform, to say nothing about Prohioi-
ton?
The Legislature of 1892 In this state TOT
the first time in many years was Democr"''o
in both its branches. The consequence was
that the rum power saw and improved IT'S op
portunity. II induced the Democratic Senate
and the Democratic Assembly to pass an abom-
Unable measure which amended the Excise
laws in the interests of the saloons at the ex-
pense of the general welfare. Every prominent
reform association in the State protested against
the passage of this bill so, too, did not nc"
well-known clergymen no recognized champion
of good morals favored it. Nevertheless, tne
Legislature passed it, and a Democratic Gov
ernor signed it, That is the way Democracy,
when it gets a chance, serves the cause OF tenn
nerance. serves the cause of Prohibition. In
view of this chapter of the recent history OF
New York. it seems amazing that any Pro-
hibitionist who cares more for principle than
for party organization should decide to give
the National Democratic ticket lift by voting
for General Bidwell.
It is instructive to note that The WINE ana
Spirit Gazette recognizes the fact that the
Prohibition party in this campaign is to be
regarded as an ally Of the Democratic party.
II observes that the Prohibitionists " know that
Ridwell has not ghost of a chance OF being
elected. but they also know that every vote
cast for Bidwell is vote against the nominee
of the Republican party and in favor OF the
nominee of the Democratic party. Inc
third-party Prohibitonsts are the most power
ful and influential allies of the Democrats In
all political campaigns" "The Gazette" ADDS
that Governor Flower since his election has
frankly admitted that he was materially aided
in his canvass last fall by the Prohibtionlsts.
We submit these considerations, as we have
remarked. not to the men who are in the Pro-
hbition party for purely selfish reasons which
have no more to do with Prohibition than they
have with the North Pole. There are some
such. and they want to run the party on pure
" political basis, regardless of consequences.
Ignoring these. we address the rank and file,
whose controlling motive is their earnest de-
sire to do all they can for temperance reform.
We venture TO ask these to think twice before
deciding TO assist the Democracy. the main
reliance of the rum power, by casting vote
for General Bidwell.
