THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.

The elections in Eastern cities show
considerable Democratic gains over
the vote cast in November. This, of
course, was not unexpected. The tre-
mendous victory of the Presidential con-
test has had the usual effect of rend ering
the Repu blcans over-sans while
rousing the opposition 10 make united
and vigorous efforts to prevent further de-
feats. Such results follow almost every
Presidential cam paign, and it has become
wel-recognized fact that what are called
the off years are generally years of sue
cess for the opposition party.
When the returns are carefully consid-
cred, however. it will be- seen that the
Dem ocrats have little or nothing to boast
OF in their apparent successes. In several
cities the Republicans were divided, and
IN others tho winning party was not so
much a Democratic as a fusion ticket.
These divisions on the one side met by
combinations on the other readily ac-
count for the seeming Republican defeats
and dispel all supposition that any num-
ber OF voters have become dissatisfied wi b
the ballots which they cast for the Repub-
lican ticket in November.
While some cities have eshownDemocratic
gains, such State elections as were held
have been won by Republicans. In Mlchi-
gan the Republican candidate for Justice
of the Supreme Court has been elected
| over the fusion candidate opposed 10 him
and the Republican cand idates for regents
of the State University were also success
| ful. 1t is to be noted, moreover, that the
hitherto strongly Democratic city of st.
Louis has gone Republican by a goot
majority.
| The most notable result OF the election s
was the defeat of the Plngree ticket in De-
| troit. Pingree has been hitherto consid-
cred invincible in that city. An earnest
| reiormer who had sufficient business
ability and executive force to accom- plish
| great benefits for the people, he succeeded
| in being reelected time and again against
all opposition, and when candidate for
| Governor last year was elected by one of
the largest majorities ever given in his
| State.
The defeat of the ticket which he advo-
Gated in Detroit has been attributed, it
| seems, to the use of bribery, but it is
| hardly necessary to look to that to find 8
| sufficient cause for the result. There are
| times when people grow weary OF inces-
| SAINT agitations even when directed toward
reform. This has probably been the
case in Detroit. Governor Pingree has
met the fate of men who become too
powerful and arouse opposition simply
because of their strength. The American
people object to anything that resembles
a boss, and it is more than likely that the
Republican ticket was defeated in that
city simply because il was known as the
PIngree ticket.
Taken altogether there is nothing in the
result of the elections to give encourage
ment TO the Democracy as National
party or to discom6t Republicans. City
elections turn mainly on local issue, and
it is not at ell likely that the vote of Mon
day and yesterday fores hadows in any way
the vote that will be cast by the people in
] the Congressional elections of next year

TREASURY INSTRUCTIONS.

Secretary Gage has acted promptly in
aiding Congress to carry out the clause of
the DiEgiey tariff which declares the
new rate of customs duties shall 20 into
effect on April l. He cannot act under
that bill, of course, for it has not yet been
enacted into law, but he has found au-
thorIty in an existing statute for the
adoption OF policy which will be as
effective as if the Dingiey tariff were al
ready on the statute book.
The instructions of the Secretary are
that the customs officers shall delay until
further orders final liquidation of entries
OF goods at our ports arriving after April

tions do not apply to goods arriving after

rected to be shipped prior to that date
