MONDAY. JULY

The English elections are to take place
early this month and the Liberals are
confessing defeat in advance, while the
Unionists are confidently predicting a
majority that will be SO large as to last
through the constitutional period of seven
years. What the issues the two parties
will go to the people with are to be does
not yet appear, but it does appear that
homerule for Ireland will not be one of
them. The Liberal constituencies appear
to be SO thoroughly sick of that that to
mention it is sure to drive off votes. This
decline of the sentiment in favor of
homerule for Ireland is attributable to
various causes, prominent among which
are the conduct of the Irish members in
Parliament and the dissensions and
chickering's among the Irish voters. The
dictatorial policy adopted by the Irish
members has prejudiced many English
voters and the subservenoy of Lord Rose
bery's ministry, especially in the matter
of the Cromwell statue, has caused them
to conclude that the only way to get rid
of Irish dictation is to get rid of the
Liberal ministry, and this they seem
determined to do. Probably it will be a
good many years before the Irish mem
bers again enjoy the prominence and
power that they have had in recent
Parliaments, and homerule again be-
comes again an issue.

1t Is accurately estimated that the high
grade laborer here gets only one seventh
OF what the same grade of labor does in
the United States. These are facts-in-
Idlsputable-which every miner, smelter,
stoker,. feeder, and Taper should remem-
oer AS one descends the scale the wages
get poorer For instance, sheep herders,
who are regarded as good class laborers,
get only Sc month and one bushel of
corn.
'Bricklayers get only 40 cents day 1t
must constantly be kept in mind that all
the wages are computed on the silver
basis, which must be divided by two
when its purchasing power is considered.
The clerk in the store who draws
monthly S25 or $50 thinks himself prosper
Gus. The best walters in the restaurants
get $40 month and find themselves. The
most expert seamstresses get only 35 cents
day, and must bring their own dinner
lftthey go outiby thesday.H The best cooks
can command S. month, but house girls
and men servants get only from So to Sc
a month.
others employed in the various factories
get from Is to 90 cents day Rents in
every part of the republic are very high,
higher than they are in the United
States, and respectable house or room,
even half as good as those occupied by
our idcbory nandS, is entirely beyond the
reach of the best paid labor. There is no
exaggeration in this. The whole seething
mass OF labor live, for the most part, in
dobe or mud made huts, and to all in
tents and purposes sleep on the ground.
Furniture is SO high that it would take
year S salary to buy bedstead
Zone of these laborers told me that on
his salary he was not able to procure
meat more than twice month, and that
such thing as laying aside money or
buying home, as laborers in the States
were able at times to do, was unknown
or even undreamed of.
The only food within the reach of the
laboring classes is the tortilla, rough
home made corn bread the 'frilola, a
kind of tasteless bean; chilli, and
'pulque. Any adornment in dress is un-
known to the wife or daughter of the
mechanic or poorer laborer They wear a
loose garb made of rough cotton cloth
called 'manta. This costs IS cents a
yard, and is about the cheapest thing
that can be secured to cover the naked
form. %

Let us assume that increase of production
has had nothing whatever to do with the
decline Of silver, and that the decline is
wholly due to its demonetization by Eng
land, Germany, the Latin Union and the
United States. What are the chances of
the United States being able to overcome
the diminished demand consequent upon
this characterization by half a dozen
nations without the aid of any one of
them? This is the practical question.
Now the answer that Prof. Walker, whom
Mr.. Talbot frequently quotes and ap-
parently with approval, has frequently
given, is that it would be little short of
madness for the United States to under
take free coinage alone, and President
Andrews, one of the ablest of the
bimetalists. has expressed the same
opinion. What Mr.. Talbot thinks about
this we do not know So far he has said
nothing that gives us even an inkling of

While IL is a little early to discuss
the spring election, yet it is only
about nine weeks, and as nomina-
tions must be made fifteen to twenty
days before the election, it is not
early after all. The Republicans
have for the past four years elected
their mayor and now have q majority
in the city council.
The Office of mayor of this city is
one purely of honor. There is no
salary attached, and the labor per.
formed by that officer is quite a tax
upon his time. From a political
standpoint we do not see that there
is any special advantage to be
gained. The principal object is
good government, and an honest.
efficient chief officer of the city.
The administration of Mayor Grim.
shaw has certainly met with the
approval of all fair.minded citizens,
regardless of politics, and for one
we shall favor his denomination and
election for another term. In making
this statement we know that we do
50 in spite of Mr.. Grimshaw's asser.
tiun that he %ll flot again ercep,

sons why lie should serve anothc

most important is the c%onstructio

the hearty support of the mayor an
it is nothing more than right an
proper that he should be the Ulfiti;
of the city during the year that tn
great improvement is made. We be-
licvc that If he Is nominated, tt
Democrats will concede this hone
to Mir. Grimshaw and perhaps max
no nomination against him. He &c
tainly makes a fair, impartial publ
