BRITISH RY-ELECTLONS.

1t has long been nOminally prOverbial that by
elections for Members of Parliament in Great
Britain are of little or political significance
and are not to be regarded as indicative of the
trend of general party sentiment and strength.
Yet 1t is actually prOverblal that such contests
are watched and their results are analysed with
the keenest interest, and upon them the most
thoughtful politicians base confident estimates
and forecasts Of the party drift Of the whole
kingdom While both views of the ease are ex-
aggerated there is probably much more judg-
ment and truth in the latter than in the former
and, with due allowances for special local inter
estS and issues, the general outcome Of saw q
years by-electiOns is really pretty significant
1t is now a little more than year since the
last general election, and in that time there were
down to the beginning Of this month"; sixteen by>
elections. One of these was contested bv two
UniOnists. and one by two Home Rulers leaving
fourteen In which there were partisan contests
between the Government and Opposition. OF
those fourteen in the last general election the
Government won eleven and the Opposition
three; in the by-elections the Government won
nine and the Opposition five-a net loss of two
for the Government, which if carried through
the House would mean a loss of one-seventh or
ninety-tive members. In the general election the
Government polled S4,721 and the Opposition
7O,9I0 votes, Government majority of 1871
while in the by-eiecti0ns the Government polad
only 1861 and the Opposition 1869 votes an
Opposition majority of 2G02, showing net Gov
eminent loss of 1852 votes Moreover, in every
case save one of the nine in which the Liberals
were successful, It was by a reduced majority,
while in every one of the five Unlonist victories
there an increased majority.
1t would be an exaggeration to suppose that
this means the country has repudiated the Lib
eral government, but it is judiciOus to regard If
as indicating a certain reaction from the nm
precedented wave of Liberal success which
swept the country year ago. The Liberal vic
tory in the last general election was far greater
than even the most sanguine Radicals expected.
and was doubtless greater than the actual nor
NAL strength Of the two parties warranted 1t
is not TO be wondered at, then, that there is a
swinging back of the pendulum. How far it
will swing it would be unwlSe to predict. but.
judging from the record of former parliaments
the reaction will probably be more marked in the
first year or two than in the third fourth and
9Th years Of parliamentary Life The rule IS to

light THROUGH WORK"

IT would be difficult TO devise a more apprO-
pirate or more suggestive motto than that which
has been adopted by the benefcaries Of the New
York Association for the Blind-"Light Through
Work" II Is a reminder Of the dreadful isola-
ton from human activities and interests which
is suffered by those blind people who are doomed
to lives Of idleness. no matter how comfortably
they may be cared for, and of the great blessing
# IS 10 such unfortunates to be enabled TO en-
gage in some useful occupation, and it tells in
phrase the whole story Of the plan and efforts OF
a most benefcent organization FOR the welfare
of those who in a literal and material sense "slt
in darkness"
The aims of this association are varied One
is to prevent unnecessary blindness-a most i'm
portant and practical thing, since nearly half the
blind people in America today are blind because
of ignorance or neglect. Others are to enroll all
the actually blind to give them the aid of aims
when needed, to provide them with instruction
and entertainment and 10 do them variety OF
social services. But chief among them. perhaps,
Is that OF giving TO the darkened ones eight
through work" by teaching them TO work and by
providing workshops and salesrooms for the
profitable employment of their activities. Such
occupations as chair Gaming, broom making and
the like are successfully followed by the blind,
and it is hoped to extend their activities TO will
low weaving, mattress making, knitting, sewing,
typewritng. and other profitable industries.
In this, obviously, two purposes. both benef-
cent are to be served. One is the making OF
blind people self-suppOrting, or partly So The
other is the providing of light through work.
the affOrdlng in systematic occupation Of relief
from the oppressive loneliness which is the Dor
ton Of the idle blind There is, we believe, no
benevolent work in this city more intelligently
designed and directed than that OF the Associa-
ton for the Blind, and none more deserving OF
a support which will enable it 10 expand its
useful energies 10 the fullest degree.

OLE GRoWTH As 4 Port.

The Boston Chamber Of Commerce has Just is
sued statement Of exports and imports handled
at the six leading Atlantic and Gulf ports in the
calendar year 1906 The six ports are Boston.
New York Philadelphia. Baltimore, New Orleans
and Galveston, and the figures show that in spite
or good deal of local pessimism New York is
easily holding its own as a receiver and dis
pateher in the foreign trades. Complaint is often
made that other seaboard cities are aided by
railroad freight dlfferentlals and that New
HOrks shipping supremacy is threatened by the
development OF ports in the South Atlantic and
Gulf States. But these complaints are largely
academic and are based on the theory that the
trade OF one port can grow only at the expense
OF the trade Of another. Our exports and i'm
ports have more than doubled in value in the
last decade, and there IS business enough to go
around, to the profit OF all ports and the detri-
ment Of none. Had our shipments in the last
decade actually doubled, as did the national vol
ume Of trade, we should now be struggling with
hopeless freight blockade and carrier famine
The Boston report shows that New York's ex-
ports increased from 1858. 2O3. 1893 in 1907 TO
S62l. $780, $50 in 1905. This is a gain Of So.
