GreAT minds will differ, The Sol- omon of the Douglus street junk pile avers that the defeat of the republican party in Jowa is directly due to the **persecution of railrosd corporations.” The leaders of the pavty in Iowa, and they ave men of average intelligence, will be gratified over the discovery made by the far-seeing annex of a rail- road job office. At present the head light cannot penewrate their minds, and their views on the disaster are thus voiced by the Council Blufls Noapareil : “The rvepublicans of lowa owe the present condition of the party to its stay-at-home members and tothe pro- hibitionists, who have insisted on n third party. That they have dove this inthe face of repested warning isn most cortain guaranty that they desire the success of the democratie party, All the assistance prohibition has ever veceived hus been at the hands of the republican party, and now when un op- portunity is offered to return the kind- ness shown its devotoes they turn their backs upon their old-time ally and seck 10 help its enemios. Such is‘the co sistenoy of pronibition leaders to-day in Towa.” | | of last o | UNDULY ELATED. The democrats are making an extrav- agant display of joy over their success. The organs of that party indulge in the most exaggerated expressions of grati- fication, as if the results of the elections Tuesday were of 8o extraordi- nary a nature as to warrant the belief that the republican party in the states which went democratic is everlastingly done for, and that its destruction gencrally as a politial organ- ization assured These enthusi- astic editors should take time to refloct and cool off. They are losing sight of history in giving too free rein to their imaginations. There is nothing extraordinary the fact that Ohio went democratic. he has done so before,and.as a rule, in the y » a prosidential election. And in otlier years she has gone demo- cratic by a much larger plurality than election. When all the eir- duly weighed the demo- in Ohio last Tuesday does not warrant that party in bonsting much. With the heavy oddsin their favor the domocrats oughtto have mado amuch better showing, and their bad record in the past expluins why they did not do s0. #As it is, the repubtican party in Ohio is very from being dead. Democraticsuccess in New York was neither exceptional nor unex pected. It was not deserved, because the republicans had the superior ticket, so far as the character and qualitications of their candidates were concerned, but they had against them a virtual alliance of the liquor dealers and prohibitionists in aid of the democracy. Both of these elements being opnosed to high license, gave the Hill ticket every possible assistance, the one dirvectly and the other indi- rect As to Virginia, noone who had an intelligent knowledge of the situa- tion there expected anything different from what occurred, but it is veasonably probable that the democratic major- ity would have been somewhat less) it the party managers had everywhere permitted o fair ele tion. The best reason for democrati tification is furnished by the partial u lowa, but the re- cumstances cratie victory not warrant democ that they have got la Towa Thus there is obviously very little rveason for the extravagant enthusiasm aud exaggerated boasting of the demo- crats. What they have gained is due chiefly to the blunders of their oppo- nents rathier than to their own merit; or to any considerable chengein public sentiment favorable to the principles of their party, so far at least as relates to national affai sting possession of THE LAW IGNORED. law passed by the last lc ture giving the city comptroller super- vision over the books and records of the hoard of education will bring about a radical change for the better. The slipshod methods of the hoard are responsible for the extravagance wh characterized it in the past. There no regul 'm of accounts, and all he was u']wm!llux'e~ outside of the regular salary list were lumped und disposed of on the abproval of the res com- mitte: The investigation of City Comptroller Goodrich shows that the board not only squandered tho means at its control but misappropriated funds provided for specific purposes. ‘The bonds issued in January, 1888, for the purchase of ce tain sites and the erection of buildings in specified amounts, have been diverted from their legitimate object, the in- structions of the peovle ignored and the law set aside. ‘It is apparent,” says the comptroller, “that in no instance has the money received from these bounds been expended wholly as voted by the people.” The unbusinesslike methods of the board are reprehensible, Composed in the main of busivess men, it is aston- ishing (that they permitted an open violation of the letter and spirit of the law governing the issue of bonds, ren- dering themselves linble to prose tion for misapproptiation of funds, The same indifference is shown in other branches of the board’s work. In view of this condition of affairs the council should promptly concur in tle recommengdations of the comptroller so that an el ve check can be placed on the board, and its accounts kept in a matic manner ive FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS, The result of the late elections will very likely have the effect to cause an abandonment of the proposition to enact a federal law for regulating the election of congressmen. Tt is said that the transactions at the poils in Virginia have convinced the advocates of such a law that it would be resisted in the south to the last extremity, and that it could only be enforced by the presence at the polls of federal deputy marshals or troops. The ponderance . of opinion with republicans 1n Washington is that the sacrilice which would follow the en- forcement of a federal election luw would not be warranted by the result, In this it is not to bo doubtod the very lacge majority of republicans through- out the country will concur, When a federal election law was talked of during the session of the last congress the idea was not generally ap- proved by republicans. Men who fully recognized the injustice that wias done at every congressional election in the south to thous- ands of voters 1n districts which, with a fair vote, would return republican rep- resentatives, and appreciated the wrong that was done to the whole country in the violence to our political system from such a eondition of affuirs, did not be- lieve that the remedy was to be found in pational interference with ques- tionable constitutional warrant, and which would necessarily result in more or less serious sacrifices. Tn the mean- time, and since the last presiden- tial election, the advocates of a federal election law have doubtless been somewhat reinforced, but sull the recent announcemens of o proposed bill by a republican con- gressman from Teunessee to regulate + congressional elections has receivea very little favorable consideration from the republican press, and, so far as known, from republican leaders. A fow mon prominent in the party, s Senator Edmunds and Mr. Henry Cabot TLodge, have endorsed tho plan, but others, whose counsel is no loss worthy of respectful considera- tion, have expressea their disapproval of it. The republican party is divided regarding the wisdom and oxpedicncy of such a policy, and it is entirely cer- tain that the majority are not favorable to it. The purity of the ballot, honest elec- tions in every portion of the country, anG the protection of citizens every where in their constitutional rights, are consummations devoutly to be wished. But how these shall bo at- tained without introducing into the political system new difi- culties and conditions of strife and discord is a most serious question. \ law such as that proposed by the which would in effect confer upon the president the power of electing the members of con= gress, would be o hazardons expedient, and a plan of election regulation that would permit the employment of fed- eral troops, if it were ever put in effect, could not be iong maintained. The im- portance of the subject is obvious, and it presonts a problem for the highest statesmanship, but one which should be kept as far as possibie from the influence of mere partisanship. Tennesseo congressman, RE ON IN KANSAS. For tho first time since prohibition became a part of the organic law of Kansas, the question of resubmission was made a distinct issue in three counties, at the last election. In Sed- wick county, in which Wichita is lo- cated, the resubmission ticket carried ities ranging from two hundred to eight hundred, wiping out a prohi- bition majority of two thousand last year. In Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties the majorities for resubmission were equally decisive. There is a deep significance in this result. It+is a vigorous expression of popular feeling that prohibition, aftor a I trial in two leading cities of Kan- sas, has proved a failure. It is the rumbling of the storm which will entually wipe out the republican majority in the state if the party lead- ers persist in upholding prohibition as a political principle. The lesson of Towa will be repeated. The Kansas law would do credit to a Russian province. Itstamped liquor as a crime cqual to murder, imposed uel and unjust pumishment on con- victed venders, aud yet did nov succeed in suppressing the traffic. During the past year the population of the state de- ased [ifty thousand, taxes incrcased, and the licenses issued by the internal revenue ofl show no diminution is an indisputable fact that prope values have fallen flat, busin E nated, eapital tarned away, nml the so- cial structure disrupted by vrofitless contentions. The only people who profited by the enforcement of the law were the police and constables, who subsisted on the fees derived from seiz. ures, and were thus given an incentive 10 spy and proy upon the homes of re- spectable people. The victories gained the beginningof thocnd. They are the forerunu of the reaction which will relegate the liquor Lrafiic to the domain of high license und rigid police regu- lation, in Kansas are EvEN fhe “Suge of Grammerey Park’ did not draft a will strong enough to run the gauntlet of avaricious heirs. The supreme court annuls the clause creating a “Tilden trust” for the estab- lishment of libravies in New York, and thus unfortunately depriving the me- tropolis of the benefit to flow from grand benevolent institutions. It is a public misfortane that the cherished philan- thropic work of Samuel J. Tilden has been frustra*~d by amercenary nepliew. Ture Cherokee chief claims to be a bigger man than the United States, and threatens to scour the earth with the remunants of the army if the govern- ment attempts to interfere with the rights of the cattle barons.

VARIETY is the spice of life, even in Montana, After a week’s undisputed control of the state government by the republicans, the scene chunges and the democrats are apparently on top. It requires the athletic ability of a mug- wump to kecp puce with the lightning political chunges going on there.

The roverses of the tories in the bye-elec- tons appear to have opened the eyes of some of the leaders to the importance of a programme more popular thau the hopeless schemo of coercion for [Ireland. Mr. Goschen, charcelior of the exchequer, seoms to be the man most likely to be charged with formulating such a programme. He has re- contly returned from Ireland, where he spent aboft two months in a study of the land question. Mr. Goschen's conviction that Ireland can bo quieted by a roform of the land systom 18 identical with the opinion of many homerulers, A Dublin parliament is looked upon by many as the best means of nccomplishing that reform, The weakness of the conservativo plan as it has been marked out is that while denouncing the agi tation of the Irish tenants as illowal and rovolutionary, they have virtually admitted the princivle of the dual ownershipof the land by passing what is known as the Ash- bourne act. The eredit of the empire is lent the tenant to cnable him to buy out the land- iord ut o forced sale. ‘Thus is the doctrine of the expropriation of land legalized by a British parliament controlled by conserv: tives. Having gono to this extent, it is only a matter of time when one of the propricto —the title holder or the man who improve the land—must retire. Mr. Goschen's plan, a land purchase scheme enforced by the power and involving the credit of the em- pire, is a perfect logical outcome of the situ- ation, The political sutcome of the scheme i8 of course its bid to the more conservative home rulers. If the tories can trump Glad- stone’s trick, 8o to speak, by removing tho one great injustice that keeps Ireland poor, then the Dublin parliament programme will be materially weakened. +a Emperor William’s visit to Turkey may not have any especial political result, but its 1import and outcomo is nevertheless a mottor of some sprenlation. ‘Theattitude which G many has recently assumed toward the porte indicates.that Bismarck feels a solicitude for ‘Turkey, and the fact that the German am- bassador pressed the sultan to accept the high terms which a Berlin banking house had offered to take a Turkish loan, and that the house in question also saddled itself with a railroad extension, shows that Bismarck is as auxious to support Turkish credit us ho bas been to depress Russiun stocks, The chancellor bas certainly changed his opinion in regard to the value of the bones of a Po- meranian grenadier in thus coquetting for an Ottoman alliauce, and the visit of the em- peror will terd to corfirm the betief that the increasing strength of France, and the dan- ger of an alliance between that country and Russia, are factors in German anxicty to avert the doom of the Otwman empire. Meanwhils the wily sultan, who has been 8o often cajoled, threatened and brow-beaten by turns—and yet has always been able to sccure the ma of benefit with the min- imum of risk—continues to mystif, and only trembles when a menace sia warns him that he may to take a premature choic The Hunzariau parliament began its ses- sions October 12, after an electoral cam- paign in which the opposition had most fiercely and personally attacked Minister Tisza. The last parliament closed amid scenes of great disorder, and the present one will probably witness a repatition of the dis- turoatces, as the opposition presented no less than four violently worded interpella- tions the very first day. The most import- ant question pending is that of a chunge in administering the law, Tisza and a majority of the parliament standing for a more cen- tralized government, while the radical party ro vehement in cuampioning their present lits of local control of local affairs. Finan- the past year has been a prosperous one for Hungary, and Tisza can point to a lessened public debt and lower taxes. Count ufe, meanwhiios is not finding ol clear in imperial mattars.

Macedonia is almost m onen revolt; Albania is on the verge of a reve uion, und the whole country across inlo Asia from Smyrns to Erzeroum is seething with disaffection. Even on his fellow-Muss#lmans the sultun can pluce no dependence, Corruption is lord parumount of the palace and government ofiices; blackmail is the ‘mamspring of the administration in cities and villages; and as without this source of revenue the machinery of government would immediately stop, there is little wonder thay vatriotism is dead and reform impossible. Buta wave of free thought is sweeping across the land. Athe- ists aud Deists are to be found in every town of the empire, and where this influence has not succeeded in making itself felt only tho powor of the dervishes keops alive fanati- cism, bigotry and superstition. ‘Ihe wonder is, with the fate of other and greater em- pires to furnish a parallel, that the Ottoman sovereignty has not long ago been driven from Constantinople. n England is largely responsible for the pres- ent situation in the east. She has been re- contly indiffercnt to the courso of events, just us she wis thirty-five years ago; and some suddes movement might find her equally s unprepared ds she was then, If Russla should decide to march on Constanti- nople, England would virtually be without allies.

The easiest and clearest method of comparison, for the sake of impressing its size upon the reader,’is to place itsf sec- tions side by side with large aroas of tho United States. Victoria, for instance, with her 87,884 square, miles, Is one-third greater than all New Eogland. New Zealand, with 104,027 square miles, 18 largor than all the midale statcs by 1,007 miles.

The British consul general at Havanna has made a report to his government regard- ing Cuba, which shows a bad condition of affairs in that 1sland.
