The Political Revolution in Canada. The sweeping defeat of the liberal party in the Dominion and signal triumph of the conservatives in the Parliamentary elections of this week have for us, on this side of the border, something more than the interest of spectators. Even as simple spectators so surprising a political change in 9 neighbor- ing people would be a curious object of attention. The politics of Canada touch us more nearly than the polities of Germany or Italy or Russia or ‘Turkey, to which we are not indifferent, although they have but a remote bearing upon our own pros- perity, Canada is our neighbor and something more. She naturally belongs to our political system ; her destiny, either near or remote, will make her a valued member of our great family of free States. We must always take a lively interest in her affuirs and watch with keen attention the political winds which drive her off her course and impede or postpone the fulfil- ment of her destiny. The population of tho seven provinces which constitute the Dominion of Canada is considerably less than that of our six New England States, and the two regions are not dissimilar in soil, climate and natural pro- ductions. It will be conceded by every in- telligent man in Canada, as readily as by every intelligent man in the United States, that it would be a fatal and prostrating blow to New England to separate her from the Union in the samo manner that Canada is separated and de- prive her of free access to our markets. If the New England States were put out of the American Union, if they could not intro- duce their manufactures for sale in our markets without the payment of heavy du- ties, their population would dwindle in a few years to less than half its present amount. If Canada were taken into the Union and New England excluded the two would exchange not merely their politi- cal relations, but their industries and prosperity. There is nothing which could happen to Canada which would so promote its industrial development, so enhance the value of every acro of its property, or impart such an impetus to tho growth of its population, as to give it the same free access to the whole vast ex- tent of the American market that is enjoyed by our New England States. ‘This is so obvious that a mere statement is equivalent toan argument; so obvious on its face that the most elaborate arguments could add nothing to the force of conviction. It is so self-evident that oll the great interests of New England would be ruined by severance from the Union and isolation, like that suf- fered by Canada, that no sane mind would think of disputing it; and how can any- thing be good for our neighbors which would be fraught with such mischief to a corresponding section of our own country? Although the late elections in the Do- minion impede and postpone the closer commercial connection which is destined to come it is only a temporary obstacle, In a free country like Canada political parties rise and fall, and no decision is permanent which opposes the laws of commercial gravitation and is contrary to the true in- terests of the community. It is only a few years since Sir John Macdonald was driven out of office in disgrace in consequence of fhe Pacific Railway scandals, and it 1s an exceptional state of things which brings him again into power. For the last five years Canada, like the United States, has been suffering from com- mercial depression and distress, and this surprising political revolution is rather an expression of general discontent than a settled indorsement of Sir John Macdonald's high tariff policy. It resem- bles the spasmodic uprising of the groen- back party in the United States, which is founded not on reflection, but upon impa- tience under protracted suffering. When the hgavy burden of business stagnation comes to be alleviated there will be a more rational tone of thinking on both sides of the border. But for the present the Cana- dian protectionist party, which is in effect a party of non-intercourse with the United States, is triumphant throughout the Do- minion. We judge it improbable, in spite of cur- rent speculations, that there will be an im- mediate change of Ministry. It is moro likely to be deferred until the meeting of the new Parliament next winter. In the first place, Canudian usage does not require an immediate resignation; and the Mac- kenzie Ministry having a good excuse to hold on until the Parliament meets will be governed by the love of office and the power of bonefiting its friends. In the next place, an immediate change would be inconvenient for the successful party. Although the party is triumphent, Sir John Macdonald, its leader, has been defeated in the city of Kingston by o constituency which has deserted him after having given him its steady confidence for thirty-five years. ‘This drop of bitterness in the cup of triumph is not only a per- sonal mortification but ao temporary disqualification for the Premiership. In Canada, as in England, it is o rule established by usage, thongh not by law, that members of the Ministry shall hold seats in Parliament. he expocted Premier has been flung out of Parliament after a service of thirty-five yeara, and ho cannot desire the formation of a new Min- istry until he shall have been provided with ascat. Ho will have no difficulty in ob- taining one, but it requires time. Somo member of his party will resign and Sir John Macdonald will be elected in his place. here is no question at all that he will be the now Premier, and he will be glad to have the Hon. Alexander Macken- zie's defeated Ministry hold on until the next meeting of Parliament. The Mackenzie administration will meanwhile hold a position resembling that of an Amor- ican President and his Cabinet during the four months that intervene between the. election and the inauguration of his suc- cessor. Another reason for postponing the change of Ministry is the succession which is about to take place in the Governor Gen- eralship. Lord Dufferin is to remain until the arrival of the Marquis of Lorne, and, as he has been in the habit of transacting business with the present Ministry, it would conduce to his comfort and conven- ience to continue to act with it during the short residue of his stay. It will be every way more fit and appropriate for the out- going Ministry to resign their offices into the hands of the new Governor General on the assembling of the new Parliament, when all branches of the government can take a fair start together. Whether Sir John Macdonald will be as high-toned a protectionist in office as he has been in opposition may be doubted. It would be wiser in the interest of pro- tection itself to ‘“‘make haste slowly.” A moderate enhancement of duties at the out- set would be safer, since he needs to pxo- vide against a reaction. If he should carry a high tariff through Parliament, causing a large amount of capital to be embarked in new manufacturing establishments, and then should be thrown ont of power before the new establishments got into successful opera- tion, the owners of the misdirected capital would denounce him for their ruin. If he is the wise and cautious statesman that we suppose him to be he will begin with moderate protective duties and wait to see whether the policy on which his party has been elevated to power expresses the de. liberate and stable convictions of the Cana- dian people, If he is really an astute and far sighted statesman the use he will make of his strong protectionist majority will be to employ it as an instrament for securing trade advantages in a new reciprocity treaty with the United States. What Wiil Germany Dot On the issue of the socialistic theories and revolts the German government dissolved Parliament and appesled to the country, and the country bas responded by the elec- tiom of another Parliament that it is not certain will meet the wishes of the govern- ment in respect to the changes it desires to make in the laws. Unless the ultramon- tanes are acting in concert in the conceal- ment of an intention to support the govern- ment at the last moment they are appar- ently not to be counted upon for assistance in the enactment of the measure that is framed to représs not socialism merely, but any ism whatever that the police may choose maliciously to call socialism or ignorantly to confound with it. Indeed, the ultra- montane members seem likely to prove more papal than the Pope. Leo XIII. has recognized that the revolt against society in Germany is as much a movement against the Church as against government, and for that reason would, perhaps, be pleased to see the ultramontane delegates assist the government in its suppression, and in so far as his wishes can control them will, it seems, urge them to act in that sense. But it is doubtful now how far he can control them. It would be aninfinitely more hope- falsign for the future of Germany if the understanding necessary to pass the anti- Social bill could be had with the national liberals rather than in the other direction. This party would evidently assist in the passage of a bill for the purpose that would meet their views of what is liberal, but Bis- marck’s bill cannot be adapted to those views. But what if the bill fails? Thon the country, as represented in Parliament and a government practically omnipotent for the enforcement of its will, will be face to face and openly at issue. Out of that attitude may come events which will con- vince the national liberals that an assent to the bill would have been wiser than their triumph in its defeat. Our Riflemen at Creedmoor, Two victories were scored by our State riflemen at Creedmoor yesterday—one in the Interstate Military match and the other in the International Military contest, In both matches the shooting was excellent and the defeated teams have no reason to feel ashamed of their defeat. One of the noteworthy incidents of the occasion was the defeat of the representatives of the reg- ular army, who had two teams in one of the matches, and who in the final reckoning stand at the foot of the score. That the nombers of an organization whose trade is war should be beaten at tho rifle by citi- zon soldiery is not so much a reflection upon the individual contestants as it is upon tho federal military system, With more liberal allowances the soldicrs of the regular army would undoubtedly pro- duce good marksmen in something like numbers; but, under the false cconomical policy that prevails in Congress, no provis- ion is made to make our army, small as it is, expert in the uso of the weapon with which it isarmed, It is to be regretted that the attendance of the public yesterday was as meagre as on the preceding days of the meeting. In failing to be present at the exercises our citizens are missing one of the really enjoyable amusements of the year, A visit to the Creedmoor range in these pleasant September days is almost aluxary. The surrounding woods begin to put on the brilliant garnituro of the fall, while the grounds aro bright with tho color of gay uniforms and ofall the parapher- nalia of military life, In no way can an hour be more pleasantly passed than in a visit to the range, Tho despatches from Kansas about Indian depredations are not to be construed as in- dications of a border war. A few fugitive Cheyennes have dropped into their favorito pastimes of house burning and cattle steal- ing, and have undoubtedly inspired all bor- derers with an intense desire to send these irrepressible childron of nature to the happy hunting grounds whore no white man cares to go, much less to build a bara and go to cattle raising. ‘The present dem- onstration is very different from an organ- ized bordor raid, The Indian has pro- gressed far enough in the broad path- way of civilization to develop the tramp, and the savago tramp, like his white prototype, is by nature a destroyer and a thief. The principal difference be- tween them is that the white vagrant is pas- sively endured, while his red-skinned brother is hunted with sabre, carbine and other persnasives of a character to which alone the trainp yields respect It is a striking comment, however, upon the con- dition of'our army to read that the troops who opposed the predatory Cheyennes wero assisted by a body of armed cattle guards, Such a combination has naturally the effect of raising our army in its own esteem, and causing it to forget how dependent Con- gress has made it upon whatever support it ean accidentally find. An army as inade- quate as ours is to the fair demands made upon it would seem toa European to be & feeble burlesque, but of course Congress will not view the matter in the besotted foreign manner. Secretary Sherman’s Explanation, The letter which the Secretary of the Treasury addressed yesterday toa Washing- ton agent of the Associated Press is a vindi- cation of his fidelity to the Resumption law, and so long as he is right and stanch on this paramount question he should not be held to a very strict account for minor errors, He weakens his position by his ap- parent loss of temper toward one of our city contemporaries, because in a public man holding so high a station a loss of temper is to some extent a loss of dignity. A public officer ought to be very tolerant of criticism by the press. It is for his interest to know all that can be said against his measures and to be acquainted even with the perversions of which they are susceptible, If the apimadversions are just they may save him from persistence in error; if they are un- candid or sophistical or malignant they can do him no great harm with an intelligent public, We think the interview which Mr. Sher- mau consented to have published was o mistake. There was no necessity for promulgating the views thercin expressed, and they were so liable to misconstruction that he would have saved himself from much annoyance by withholding them. The fact that he had just revoked his silver order and that the Maine election was construed as a condem- nation of his policy made it important that he should not give any symptoms of vacillation on the main question, The interview was so mistimed and, so calcu- lated to raise doubts that he was inexcus- able for consenting to its puBlication. He should not have spoken at all unless he could have said something which would have strengthened public confidence in his unflinching and immovable determination to carry forward the resumption experiment without faltering, The interview was inter- preted, and we think not unfairly inter- preted, as a concession to the enemies of his policy. What necessity was there for expressing his preference of greenbacks to bank notes and his willingness to see the former substituted for the latter at some future time? He would have done better to avoid all such mischievous topics. He says that ho did not revise the interview, but admits that it was read to him and that he con- sented to its publication. He ought to have foreseen the kind of comments it was calcu- lated to elicit and have suppressed it alto- gether. It is always indiscreet for a public officer voluntarily to put himself into a po- sition which compels him to make explana- tions. ‘ We are sorry that his explanation is not on one point. more, .explicit. He say “Tho attempt to construe what I said about my duty as an executive officer to obey the law into a doubt about the wisdom of the Resumption act is simply folly. I hope the time will never come when an execu- tive officer will not feel that his duty is to obey the law without respect to his opin- ions.” We are sorry that instead of this he did not say unequivocally thatthe Resump- tion law has the approval of his judg- ment, and that he means to exccute it as well because he thinks it wise as because it binds him as mere law. We are sorry, too, to see him in this letter of explanation ex- press the opinion that a man may be a good ropublican who disapproves of his financial policy. This ho does say, and say most unnecessarily, of Mr. Walker, to whom he granted the interview. We have not lost our confidence in Mr. Sherman, and shall continue to give him the same hearty sup- port that we have uniformly done heroto- fore in carrying out his policy of resump- tion ; but we fear he is too much influenced by his anxiety as a politician to save the re- publican party in the West. Executive Speeches. The President's speech at Toledo yester- day, at the ‘‘ Tri-State” Fair, seems to us to have been one of Mr. Hayes’ ablest efforts. His ggneral topic was tho material interests of the country as affected by tho war and as recognized by the people during the years which followed the war. People need to be told, as those of three great States were told by the President, that while war made of the government a sbeady cash paying customer it also inevitably prepared the way for the general business stagnation which followed the withdrawal of the nation from the position of principal purchaser. Had the President emphasized the fact that all commoditics purchased by the government were non-producing in their tendenzies, and consequently were practi- cally of the nature of losses, he would have more clearly elucidated the condition of affairs which, after many gallant struggles against the inevitable, affected the people of the country at large during and after the panic of 1873. The Billings Murder Trial, Our correspondence from Ballston gives us somewhat more of the horizon of the strange tragedy that is under investigation in the court there. In the murder of the wife of the man on trial it has boen recog- nized hitherto that a domestic drama, re- yolting in its tone, yet possessing the in- terest that is inseparable trom all the fiercer human oxperiences, reached a crisis ; and it was precisely becanse the assassination was recognized as a crisis in a terribly pain- ful story rather than as an event that stood alone and was without any antecedents of passion that might have led up to it—pre- cisely for that reason ond for no other that suspicion immediately fell upon the hus- band as the one person of the drama equal to such a crime and likely to be tempted to it. Was he the sort of man to do sucha deed? is an inquiry that inevitably comes up in such a case; and the country peopie in Saratoga answer with whispers and winks, “He shot his own brother’—and they shrag their shoulders at the declaration that that was the accident of a hunting “@oing to Geneva? excursion. But could he be tempted to it—and what reason was there now why .he should rid himself of what he had already endured so many years? Her suit for divorce had been in court. that very day and was adjourned fora short time only; and its exposures were likely to be very painful, because wretched as the home was it might be made more wretched still if the story were gone over with the world for an audience. There was some pride left in the man, Now, when, with the thoughts of the community in which he lived in this frame, evidence was sought and every little indication as it came up supplied a circumstance against the hus- band, it is not strange that the opinions of his neighbors assumed the form of a reso- Jute conviction that he was the guilty man. Buta whole community may believe a man to be guilty and the man may still be inno- cent. Many men have been hanged on cir- cumstantial evidence, and: some of them hanged wrongly. . Hithertw we have: heard mostly stories against Bilfing#’ and the case against him. Ifthe defence can give these remarkable events any other interpretation than the one that assumes the prisoner's guilt we shall be glad to know it. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
