The pany‘: will not permit itself hereafter to be used as a dunghill to sprout political mushrooms, but will take its own affairs in hand, send boastful corruption and incompetence to the| CAN@DIAN ELECTIONS. rear and invite its real worthies to the front. ANADA holds her general elections to-day. It has been a jingo campaign on the part of the C Laurier Ministry, and the Conservative oppo- sition has met the Government along the whole line. In many constituencies there was no contest, and consequently several Liberals and several Conser- vatives have already obtained seats by acclamation The number that has been thus fortunate, however, is comparatively small, and the voting to-day will prob- 2bly be very close throughout the Dominion. In the Canadian House of Commons when every constituency is represented there are 213 members. Of | these Ontario elects g2, Quebec 63, Nova Scotia 20, New Brunswick 14, Prince Edward Island 3 toba 7, British Columbia 6, Northwest Territory 4. In the House which has just been dissolved the Laurier Ministry had as supporters 12 Nova B New Brunswick, 3 from Prince ward Island, 50 from Quebec, 45 from Ontario, and in addition 6 independents from that province supported the Ministry on all leading questions party policy; § from Manitoba, 4 from British Colum- bia and 3 from the Northwest Territory. On some issues the Ministry had a majority as high as 52, but | generally it was not more than 45. | Following the usual tactics of party campaignins each side claims that it will make heavy gains in thi clection. The fight has not centered upon any par- lucu:ar point, and consequentiy the canvass has been Grave charges have been brought and it is asserted there have been from from Scotia, who of largely personal. against the Ministry, many scandals in connection with various departments | € E A o | in their dealings with Galveston business men have | of the administration. These probably amount to no more than the customary campaign cries which are heard whenever there is no “paramount issue” to dis- | cuss before the people. If any one question be more prominent than an- | other in the canvass it is the tariff” which the Laurier Ministry carried through | Parliament with the avowed object of giving Great | Britain in Canadian markets an advantage over the United States or any other nation. The tariff ap- | pears to have been a failure, and the Conservatives | claim that no preference should be given to British | goods in Canada unless Great Britain reciprocates by :‘gi\'ing Canadian products equal preferences in Brit- ish markets. | Summing up the results of the tariff The Mail and Empire, a Conservative organ, recently said: “Thus i the last four years the United States has sold to Britain $446,853,726 more than it would have sold had the average of its sales been just equal to the sales in 1806. To Canada in the same period the United States has sold $02,052.832 worth more of goods than it would have sold had its average yearly sales been just equal to the sales of 1806. That is, in the British | market it has gained $446853,726 in the four years, ! and in the Canadian market $02.052.832. In the mean- t‘me Canada’s sales to the United States in that time | have not averaged as high as the figures of 1806, and fall short by $20.844024 of doing so.” There have been more or less evidences of jealousy between the British and the French races during the | campaign, but these have not been of a nature to se- nously affect the votirg. If Laurier win, his victory ill be mainly due to the jingo spirit roused by the | Wi | dispatch of Canadian troops to fight for the Britich | empire in South Africa, and consequently the move- | ment toward “imperial federation” will be largely ‘afiertrd by the result. e | Chinese Minister Wu says that China has learned | a great deal from America. The Minister may ac- cept the assurance that China will learn a great deal more if she doesn’t teach herself how to behave. Mani- | famons “preferential | REVIVAL OF GALVESTON. HEN the campaign became so exciting as to attract public attention away from Galveston Wmm stricken city was so overwhelmed by the disaster that had befallen her it was doubtful whether | she would recover her business energies in time to provide her people with work and wages during. the | rapidly approaching winter. Now that the election is| | over and we can once more give attention to her needs | there will be more than ordinary gratification in | noting that all reports give promise of abundant work | | in and around the city and good profits and wages in | | all lines of business. A recent review of the situation by a special cor- | respondent of the New York Journal of Commerce ! “The wreckage is still abundant in the residencs | section, but in the commercial part of the town the | | ravages of wind and wave have been for the most part repaired or concealed. The work of rebuilding has made the business of dealers in hardwate, lumber, paint | | and glass much heavier than it was before. But in all | | lines of business there has been a recovery that would | not have been supposed possible. The grain ele- | vators and the wharves were found to be less damage1 than was at first supposed. The receipt and shipment | of cotton were resumed a few days after the disaster, | and within a month business in all lines was proceed- | ing much as usual.” | The people of Galveston deserve the highest com- | mendation for the courage and the energy they have exhibited in grappling with the calamity that came | upon them. Praise should also be given to the bank- ers, manufacturers and merchants of other cities, who | granted them large credits upon all lines of goods. It is stated that in the large commercial centers orders from Galveston have been filled freely and promptly. Thus the merchants of the city have been able to obtain and to supply whatever is needed in the work | of rebuilding. Out of the gloom of the great disas- i ter, therefore, there come at least two things of which the American people may be proud—the energy of the survivors of the stricken city and the generosity of the helpers in all parts of the Union. Several French officers were thrown out of an American train in China a few days ago and now they demand an apology. They should have a care. Uncle Sam has passed safely through' the election period, when he calls himself all sorts of names, and is now ready to chastise all detractors. —_— Recent events have indicated with painful clearness that the political sharps of the Southern Pacific Com- pany have more politics than they need without going out of their own building. The people of Cali- fornia may now be permitted to attend to their own affairs without interference which is both impudent and unsought. ~The Board of Supervisors has made an official an- nouncement that the city has laws enough to govern its plague spots into places of decency, but the board appears to be absurdly confident in expressing an opinion that the police will enforce these laws.
