FUSION DOES NOT FUSE.

Fusion has been defeated in Tacoma
by heavy majority. Examination OF
the vote for the several candidates IL
illustrates admirably the failure of norni-
nal political union to unite parties an
tagonistic In purpose. history. impulse
and principle. 1t is possible for parties
TO combine effectively for q temporary
object 1t is not possible to maintain
the alliance indefinitely without aban-
donment Of separate organizations and
formation Of an entirely new party.
The candidate for mayor was a Sill
yer Republican; for treasurer a Popu-
list. and for controller q Democrat. The
two latter were each defeated by over
1000 votes. or about 600 more than Mr..
Mentzer The warrant issue cut fig
ure In the campaign. but probably not
more against one candidate than an
other. The conclusion is inevitable that
tie natural hostility between Demo-
Gratis and Populists took the substantial
form of mutual knitting. The Democrats
cut the Populist nominee for treasurer
and the Populists cut the Democratic
candidate for controller Mr. Mentxer's
identity with party considered innocu-
public. was the reason OF his escape
from the sacrificial knife. That inhar-
mony and dissatisfaction affected DEM
ocrats and Populists in just about the
sane measure is obvious from the even
ness of the votesfor the two lesser can
didates. and from the fact that both
ran the same distance behind Mentzer.
The lesson to be drawn from the Ia
coma and Seattle elections is that fusion
does not fuse. The party leaders and
the place hunters have been strong
enough to control the conventions, but
individuals have retained. and will re-
tain. the right 10 vote as they please
1t is not to be doubted that sweeping
Republican victories in the two cities
will add to difficulties OF alliance of the
so-called silver forces next fall. But 1t
Is altogether premature 10 announce
that no union VIII be effected 1t is not
important to Republicans whether it is
or not. II no unfortunate dissensions
arise. no disturbing influences appear,
al
brought 10 realize fully the value and
necessity OF complete harmony, there
will be no question about the result of
the November election.

The extreme partisan view of the Tor
onto Globe on the rejection Of the Yu-
kon railway bill. published In another
column. is valuable as confessing the
fact that the railroad was looked upon
as a Canadian project for Canadians,
and as declaring that failure to con-
struct will rebound to the enormous
advantage Of Americans.
II seems proper now to say to the
Globe and other Canadian newspapers
that railroad into the Yukon Is as
desirable from the American point OF
view as the Canadian. 1t was not the
concern OF Americans that the Cana
dian authorities proposed to give the
contractors an enormous mineral land
grant. But 1t became their business
when the S:ickeen was persistently ex-
plotted as the ail-Canadian route, and
when 1t was the plain purpose to defeat
enforce usual and proper customs regu-
latlons at the mouth of the river. and
when. besides. II appeared likely that
American transportation lines. outfit
tiers and travellers would be discrim-
mated against. II IL was not the in
tention Of the railroad owners to favor
Canada and impose restrictive regula-
tons against Americans. then the vo-
ciferous protest OF the Globe against
rejection of the railroad bill has no
real basis, beyond the fact that 1t
tends TO check the solution OF the Yu-
kon transportation problem.
The Canadian authorities are now
brought face 10 face with a fact that
they have heretofore diligently sought
to avoid. and that is that no Kiondike
transportation project is feasible indie
pendent of Alaska and Alaska interests.
IL there Is 10 be n railroad from the
seahoard To- the Yukon river, il must
be a joint American and Canadian en-
terprise. Our northern neighbors might
as well accept the situation as II is,
and quit kicking against the pricks.

1t may be remembered that 1t was pro-
posed by certain Canadians to transsajp
Canadian goods at Fort Wrangel from one
Canadian vessel to another, that the Amer

and continuous journey up the St.ckeen
from British port to British port ef-
fected. A bill has been introduced in the

situation on the St.ckeen. An American
vessel may now carry goods from Victoria
To Wrangel and transsh.p to another
American vessel, which goes TO Glenora.
