The Elections in canada.

The result Of the elections in Canada
was quite a surprise. It was thought
the conservatives would be successful.
because they had the best party organiza-
ton, and are. besides. in control Of the
government Our dispatches state that
the conservatives were completely rout-
ed. and that the liberals will have a clear
majority Of fifty in parliament.
The lines between the two parties are
clearly drawn. The conservatives favor
protection" and the enforcement Of the
law IA Manitoba with regard to separate
education-that is. they uphold the Catho-
lie claim that the money paid by Catho-
lies for school purposes shall go 10 the
support Of Catholic schools. This claim
the Protestants Of Manitoba and the bulk
Of the liberal party, refuse TO concede.
The conservatives hold that the law of
Manitoba sustains the claim of the Cath
olics.
The liberal party favors a moderate tar
1T. and reciprocal trade concessions to the
United States. There is a faction Of the
liberal party that talks favorably Of the
annexation of Canada to the United
States. 1t Is a small faction. however. and
does not exert much influence in the
party.
The conservatives insist upon a high
protective tariff against England. as well
as other countries. and aim to make Can
ada as Independent as possible Of all other
countries. To that end they built the
Canadian Pacific railway. established
steamship and cable lines to England and
to Australia. and have striven to make
Canada "self-reliant and self sufficient"
nation.
The liberals will undoubtedly adopt a
policy that will be almost Numerically
opposed to that of the conservatives, and
after the liberals get into power some
very radical changes are certain to be
made. The changes-at least, those re-
lating to trade-cannot very well help be-
ing of advantage to this country. The
liberals Will have some trouble with the
Manitoba school question, because there
is a division in their ranks in regard to it.
There were, Of course, a number of
minor issues involved in the campaign.
but the interest in them, outside Of Can
ada, IS not very great.

WIN They Fuses

The question whether it is possible TO
bridge the differences between the popu-
lists and democrats with a silver plank
is being quite extensively discussed. II
it isn't possible then there will be two
silver candidates for President. If it is,
then there is likely to be only one The
question will undoubtedly receive a good
deal of consideration at the Chicago con-
vention. With two presidential tickets
in the field representing the silver side
of the monetary issue it would be impos-
sible for silver to win. They would di-
vide the silver vote while the sound
money vote would be cast almost soldly
Hor the republican presidential ticket.
At the north the belief is entertained
that it is practically impossible for the
support the same presidential ticket, ow-
ing to the hostility between them. They
might do so in the west, but not in the
south. There are populists in the south
doubtless, who would be willing to give
up all the other populist demands for sill
ver but the majority would not a
prominent populist in this state is report
ed to have said recently that free silver
coinage was only a small part of the
demands Of the populist party, and that
it was mistake to suppose that the
populists would abandon all their other
demands for the sake of silver. If he
spoke the sentiments of popullsts gener-
ally the populists will have a presidential
ticket The question Of whether they will
or not. will not be without its influence
on the Chichago convention.

A Chicago man has invented and had
patented a fishing rod with which man
may fish. and sleep at the same time. 1t
works with q spring. When the fish seizes
the bait the tug it gives the line opens a
trigger and the fish is jerked ashore and
landed high and dry by the uncoiling of
the spring. The inventor is a butcher as
might have been guessed. Nobody but a
butcher, and a Chicago butcher at that,
would ever have invented so cold-blooded
an apparatus. The rod and reel are the
special tackle of the artistic fisherman.
and no Chicago butcher has a particle of
business TO pervert them to the uses of
the pot fishermen. The latter have their
seins and pens, and other fish-extermina-
ting devices. Let them stick to their old
time tools. The patent office should have
refused TO recognize the Chicago butch
er's barbarous mechanism.

An unpleasant incident occurred during
the dedication Of the statue 10 President
WoOlsey Of Yale on the campus of that
university the other day. The senior class
had brought an ivy plant from the tomb
Of Robert E. Lee 70 be planted at the base
Of the monument The idea was that the
ivy should be symbolic Of friendly union
between the members Of the class from
the north and the south. showing that
the sectional bitterness Of the past was
forgotten. But DR.. Twichell. a member
Of the faculty and a graduate Of the uni
versity. objected to the planting Of the
ivy. and in the course Of his dedicatory
Grafton said that while Gen. Lee was a
good man, he was loyal to an infamous
cause" The ivy was planted. neverthe-
less. It seems that DR.. Twichell went
out Of his way to make a sensation The
senior class is composed Of nearly one
third southerners, and there is no doubt
that the planting Of the ivy from Lees
tomb met with the approval. not only Of
these, but Of the northerners as well. It
was the expression Of the sentiment of
the whole class. There is no doubt that
the class represents public opinion as it
exists to-day throughout the country. DR..
Twichel represents sectional opinion as
is existed years ago. when he was stu
dent.

One sentence from Altgeld's platform,
adopted blythe Illinois democrats, is suf-
ficient to show how truth has been avoid
ed by him in bolstering up the unlimited
silver cause. by thus taking out of the
commercial world one-half of its blood,
industry and trade have been paralyzed,
etc" The so-called decentralization Of
silver is referred to, and the silver in
the currency is the blood" The truth
is that there is more silver money in the
country to-day than there has ever been
before, and every dollar of it is just as
good as gold. 1t will pay any kind of
dept, unless gold has been specified in
the contract, and is a legal tender in any
amount. There is more silver blood"
in the commercial world than viii cir

that Gov. Altgeld has never denied that

advocating silver for other people.

Green, who is reputed to be the richest

the guberna torial chair of Texas. With
the money question, and further weaken
ed by Withdrawals to the populist party,
it may transpire that Mrs. Green will
succeed in buying the governorship for

What an extraordinary experience In
ternal Revenue Collector William Ryan
of Richmond, Va, had in Cuba! Mr.
Ryan is a friend of Consul General Lee,
now our representative in Havana, and
he went to Havana solely for the purpose
of visiting Gen. Lee. so he says. He saw
Gen. Lee. had a good time with him,
saw Gen. Weyler. took a look at the
famous trocha. and had an interview with
Gen. Maceo, one of the leading insurgent
generals. At least. in an interview with
the reporters in New York on Tuesday
he says he had all of these experiences.
If the interview had been published with
out any mention of his name, the i'm
preston would have been that the person
interviewed was either Eli Perkins or
Mark Twain, probably Mark Twain, since
the latter is a genuine humorist.
Doubtless Mr.. Ryan was jollying the
reporters. Not being the bearer of any
official communication, and not being in
any manner a representative Of the gov
eminent in matters pertaining to Cuba
he thought 1t a good opportunity, proba-
bly,, to give the reporters a talk that
would enable them to write readable
article without doing anybody any harm
The fact that he did not intend that
what he said should be taken seriously IS
shown by his statement that he wasn't
within eight miles of the military trocha
At that distance he could not, of course,
have had very satisfactory view of it,
The most interesting part of his inter-
view. however, was that concerning his
meeting with Gen. Maceo in Havana.
What must the newspapers think of their
correspondents who have been in Havana
all these months of the war and have not
yet found out that the insurgent general
is a regular visitor to the headquarters
of the Span!ards-that the spaniards are
so sleepy that he enters the very strong
hold of the Spanish army whenever he
pleases!
Mr.. Ryan was entitled to a little fun,
after being kept at the New York quar-
antine for couple of days. and he ap-
pears to have obtained it at the expense
of the reporters. If he did, in fact, have
valuable information for the government
he showed his diplomatic ability by jol-
lying the reporters with stories that made
them forget more serious business.
