tn DOMINION ELECTION.

On the recent election in Canada,
Judge Goodwin writes in the Evening
Telegram as follows: Elections are
queer things. Generally, reasonable
estimates can be made of probable re-
suits some weeks or days before cleo.
ton day. Then about once in so often
there comes a landslide which stuns
both the vanquished and the victor.
1.-THE dominion had one OF these
landslides on Thursday. There is
nothing like 1t in our history here in
the United States except the second
election of Mr.. Cleveland, in S92
The administration of President Har.
rison had been most brilliant one.
He was the ablest president after
! President Lincoln. But the passage OF
the Mckinley tariff bill gave the De.
mocrats the opportunity to send tin
peddlers through all the northwest,
to scare the old ladies by the an
nouncement that they must buy their
tin pans and cups then il they ever
wanted them, for when the Mckinley
took effect tinware would be worth
more than diamonds. Then, too. there
was the Homestead Lockout. which
was heralded as an oppression to
working men which led directly up to
murder.

| The facts We're, that certain work.
I ing men in the Carnegie mills, who
did piece work were making So per
day. At great expense the company in.
stalled new machinery upon which
those men could double their wages.
The company pointed out the ex-
pense 1t had been to, and asked these
men to reduce their charges, so that
they would only have the wages they
mad been accustomed to, which were
higher than any other men ever re.
ceived for similar work. They refus.
ed and were locked out. and when
the company sought to install other
men in their places they ambuscaded
and killed them.
This the Democracy charged upon
the company and made their campaign
upon the slavery and cruelty upon
their laborers by the soulless monop.
oily
These facts We're all brought out
by the investigation committee or
dered by the succeeding Democratic
congress, the chairman of which com.
mittee was Mr.. Crisp. He reported the
facts TO congress and added that the
oppressed men were at the time
receiving higher wages than were
ever heard OF for such work in the
history of the world Why some OF
those men went in carriages to their
work In the morning and the carriages
were waiting to take them home at
night. But there was unrest in the
air. Mr.. Pullman had established his
works at Pullman giving every one
OF his employees modern home and
the highest wages paid anywhere in
the country, but In that election al.
most every employee voted the De.
mocratic ticket. We suspect a large
amount OF money was used, for the
bondholders were determined to OBJ
literate silver as basic money and
the knew how Mr.. Cleveland stood ON
that question. Anyway it was tidal
wave.
Something like It swept over Can.
ada on Thursday. Mr.. Laurier fod
many years has declired the policy OF
the dominion government. Possibly
the Englishmen there, by whom we
mean the descendants OF Engllshmen
who are more English than real
Johnny Bulls, wanted him overthrown
but the cry which seemed the catch
ing one was that reciprocity was q
germ which II accepted would at once
spring into irrestible life and carr,
canada. despite all efforts, over into
the annexing arms OF the Goddess OF
i Liberty on this side of the line. Tn,
poor devils. II they never come int
. the United States until they are asked
. 10 by the people on this side. aThe
, daughter OF the Shows will be safe
