The formation of the new ministry

the policy of that government Where
the emperor has the power to dissolve

enact legislation he desires a premier

that Emperor William has the welfare
of the empire at heart, and that no
man has greater love for faderIand; !;
but he firmly believes in the supremacy
of the military, and that the people
should occupy the position of children,
over whom he must take paternal care,
without paving the least attention to
individual freedom. To God alone, he
s1ys, he Is responsible, and this forms
the basis of the old maediaeval doc

False Registration ALLEGED.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31-Tne big registration
has aroused the cry of fraud from both
parties. The Republicans charge that
the Democrats have registered many
Greeks, SyrIans and Poles, who are not
eligible 10 vote, and the Democrats al.
lege that the Republicans have registered
men who have no existence whatever.
Seven negroes were arrested Yesterday
for false registration, and colonies are
alleged to have been established IN the
down town wards. The charges made
10y both sides do not affect 1000 votes, so
that there is great deal more smoke
than fire. At the Democratic state head
quarters the 'sure thing" talked of now
is that MacVeagh will be elected; that if
Cook county goes Democratic, the legIs
lsture on joint ballot will have Demo
cratic majority of not less than eight.

PATTY FEALTY.

1t is question of great pertinence
at present whether Mr.. Cleveland is
acting honorable In not lending some
aid to the Democratic party in the
contest in New York. It could not
be expected that the executive would
enter the canvass as stump orator,
and travel from one town to another
haranging audiences in favor of
Democratic principles; but with per-
feet propriety he could endorse the
nomination of Mr.. Hill for governor
by letter to the prominent leaders.
He has not even done this; but by
his continued silence has made en-
phatic his disapproval of the action of
the New York state convention.
This is not confor mable, in the minds
of many, to that high sense of politi-
cal fealty which one owes to the party
of his choice, more especially if he has
received favors from those of the same
political predictions as himself.
Such is the the view Democratic
organs take of the peculiar situation
that confronts Democracy in the en-
pire state. In speaking on this sub
ject the Eveni,ag Telegram of Portland
has the following editorial remarks:
"From a strictly Democratic stand
point there is no difference of opinion
among Democrats and Republicans
that he is acting dishonorably. 10
many respects Mr.. Cleveland is great
man, but it is apparent that he is
utterly lacking in some of the moral
senses. The sense of party obligation
is very high qualification in man
of his station, yet he does not seem to
have the least conception of its mean
ing. Nor does personal gratitude
enter into his composition. II he had
these qualities he could not stand aloof
in this crisis of his party's history.
1t may be, however, that he has the
conceited idea that he knows better
than his party what is good for the
country, and that it is his duty to
make bulwark of himself against the
danger of Democratic victory. If
such be his motive we can better ap-
preclate his present attitude, yet if he
had refined sense of personal and
party obligation he would surrender
back into the hands of the Democracy
the Office they gave him rather than
play the traitor"
In this connection it must be
recollected that Mr.. Cleveland was
elevated first into the executive chair
for his independence of party by
mugwump votes. He would never
have been elected if 1888 if he had
been strong partisan, and during the
two terms he has served he has acted |
independent Of his party in many in
stances. He has never endorsed the |
methods pursued by Tammany, and
although he made partial compromise
with the members of that political ring
in 1882, it was only done to carry
New York, which was necessary for |
his election. Now he expects moth
ing more from his party, and he can
act independent of the machine.
Without considering any particular
case the principle of party domination
is despotic. and very humilating to a
free man. A political organization
should be endorsed only SO far as it
agrees with the honest opinions of
citizens within its ranks, and when it
attempts antoclatic dictation of the
elective franchise it becomes a tyrant
hat must be deposed.

CANADIAN PRODUCTS.

The Peterborough Revieao is pub
lished in Canada, and the following
from its editorial columns shows that
Democratic free-trade is even benef-
cial to that country.
"Values in hay at present are little
more than steady and receipts of hay
at leading points is reported much
more than ample. The change in the
American tariff has not effected Cana
dian shipments much as yet, it being
claimed that prices on the other side
are too low to allow profitable ship
ments.
The record of Canada's export trade
in hay is interesting. The American
shipments show a decrease. Last
year our foreign trade in hay was
nearly double that of the year previous
and was big increase over any recent
year. For the twelve months closing
June 80 our exports were ZIG. .S58 tons,
valued at $2,6Ol, ,704, compared with
foreign shipments of l51, ,SS1 tons the
preceding year worth l,452,S72.
The destination and valuation of the
exports from Canada for sseries of
years follows"
After this is published long list
of the values of the exported article to
foreign countries, showing that the
United States is the largest consumer
of Canadian hay. In the year 1892
the value of the export trade was
S59S, ,567, but in 1898 i. increased to
1854, ,95S, and it must be presumed
that the passage of the Wilson bill
stimulated business in this line To
show that the United States is the
heaviest buyer of this Canadian ex-
port. in the year 1898 just mentioned,
the United States received 1854, ,95S
worth of hay from Canada, while
Great Britain and all other countries
are only credited with S547,913.
But hay is only an inconsiderable |
product of the dominion that is bene-
fited by the Democratic party throw
ing wide open the commercial gates.
There are others of greater value that
have been eagerly watching for an OPP
portunity to seek American markets
and compete with local productions.
And this is one of the objects to be
by free trade. 1t makes

,wn citizens must shift for themselves.

wages than those of Europe, and our
