At the rocent Parliamentary elec. Rionsin tho contested districts of England, } Bootland, and Wales, the Liberal party ob- t Yained an average majority of about filteen per cent., or nearly throe times as groat, com paratively, au that of the Republicans in this pountry. ‘These facta prove that the Demoernts are | All a very powerful organization, notwith ' Banding their recent severe def and it lies with thom to decide whether they will #0 act os to become the great party of the future, or, by continuing todefy destiny, lapse away like tho ancient Federalisis, and leave the path pf progress to be trodden solely by their rivals, The Democracy, by virtuo of a few rardinal prineiples, and by the magical power of a name, has, in spite of blind guides and dopartures from landmarks erected by Jerrenson and Jackson, maintained « firm hold upon large masses of the in usirial and laboring classca during the severe trials of tho lust fiftcon years, It is for the party now to determine whether, \ by warring on fate, it will drive from ts ranks o portion of its strength, or, by i correcting its mistakes and retracing its steps, inepiro confidence in its present follow. era, and win converts from its antagonists. Ono of the greatest political errors of mod ern times was the repeal, in 1854, of the pro- hibitory clauso of the Missouri Compromise. At was both a blunder and a crimo, It proved to be a fountain of tho bitterest waters, The + Kansas strife, the disastrous administration of BucnaNAN, tho insane sacrifice of Dov- GLAS, the very author of tho measure, on tho Altar of tho Slavery Propagandi, the ordi- nances of Secession, anf our terrible civil war, all sprang from that source, The Republican party was organized to Fosist the policy inaugurated by the repeal of 854. It carried with it the popular judg. | mont throughout tho long contest, always Wook advantage of the follies of its foes, rose Yo power on their downfall, and at the close pf the rebellion promulgated its plan for the reconstruction of the Union, For three years, an epiteof tho hostility of the Presi- dent, it carried forward this plan very nearly t to the point of completion, and it has been tr! } wmphantly ratified in the election of Grant gud CoLrax, Reyardless of real or imaginary defects, a Jarge majority of the people have accepted it, and earnestly desire that there may be an endof sirife on this subject. Uf, then, the Democratic party would win public confi. . dence and hope to return to power in the na- Mon, it must place the rebellion and the pres. eut plan of reconstruction in tho category of “bygones.” But, more than this—for its fatal policy on the questions just named was vuly asymptom of the disease that has para- Iyzod it—the party long ago ceased tobe the exponent of real democratic principles. It has failed to be the champion of equal rights, and without tho virtue and dignity of the old Federalisis has usurped their place in pol F Hes by becoming tho advocate of conser ' tism, monopoly, wealth, privilege, and aris tocracy, Let it turn away from courses and eontrov that bello its anclent crood, and } ean only remind it of disgrace and defeat, and advance to fields where it can restore its prestige by fighting gen den Hattles, and winning viciories for the masses of the people, What the Democracy needs is a real Dew ocratic leader, who possesses magnanimity and boldness enough to admit the errors of the past,n scopoof vision that can compre. hend the responsibilities ant opportunitics ofthe present, and a magnetism of mannor und a persistency of purpose that ean mould vrbend a stubborn following to his will; in sword, a chieftain that shall combine in his mind and person the philosophie wisdom of Jerrenson and the resistle: of Jack, onerg ——— | Belling by Short Weight—A Possible Explanation, Several months ago we called attention to the fact that 0 larre number of prosecutions for selling by short weight had taken place ata single term of acriminal court in Eng- Jond, and we suggested that it was a species of fraud which had become very common, We had known of tests being applied which | fully established that it prevailed to a con ' tderable extent in this country. Our neighbor the World has performed a | teal service to the community by publishing | Rumerous instauces in which articles that have boen purchased of dealers in good re: pute have been found, upon trial, not to hold out of the full weight for which they were purchased, This exposure puts consumers on their guard, and it also has an effect upon mlers to make them more careful, on ace sount of their reputation, to give true weight Jn whatever they sell, There possibly may be an explanation of the disparity, which in many instances is wery slight, between the nominal and tho real weight—that is, between tho weight which seller pretends to give and that which he actually does give of an article— In 6 circumstance which we have not scen | mentioned either in the World's exposures, or in the cards published by numerous grocers in reply; and that is this: Sach an article as sugar, which is among the prinel pal ones tesied by the World, when sold in very small quantitics, is usually weighed in the paper used for doing it up. If afterward taken out and weighed without the paper in very nicely adjusted balances, it would con- sequently be found wanting. Custom seems to have sanctioned selling the paper by weight with the article contained in it, find 64 this is done before the eyes of the pur chaser, who tacitly consents to it, the prac- tice is froe from deception, and ennnot pro- perly Le regarded as cheating, Thus, when & man goes to @ grocer and asks for a pound of cheap brown engar, he aces a pleco of thick paper laid into the scale, and the sugar ig shovelle into the paper, until there is jost enough of sugar and paper together to turn the renles at the weight indicated—just one pound. ‘The lower qualities of engar are generally very damp, and by the timo tho pur. chaser has reached home the paper contain- ingg the sugar is saturated with motsture When it is emptied out, it is not only the weight ofthe dfy paper less than a pound, but the heavy saccharine liquid which Las boon absorbed from the sugar is added to the de ficleney the balances of the grocer have weighed oxactly right. Whether allowance for this was inade ia the tests applied by the World wo are not informed, It 4s certainly m material con sideration. In many instances, if no allow tance was mado for this, it may affird a fall explanation for the disparity between the weight given by the aeller and that which the purchaso nominally ealled for. Tho interests of the community will be greatly promoted by the exposure of the tricks of trado, which are numerous and por nicious; but it Is not to be desired by any one that condemnation should fall where it fe not deserved, and that a deficiency in weight, where it resulta from an open and universal custom of trade, should bedarkoued into deliberate and wilful frand, eileen Cosoperntive Education and Trade. Tho working classes of this city have it in their power to wet an edu cational example to all the other cities in the Union which will) redound to thelr honor and confor ondloss Dossings upon generations unborn. ‘They ean, as they propose to do, establish a Mechanics’ Institution In every ward for elementary in struction, and for the purposes of a good library and reading room and wholesome recreation, They neod no pecunlary help, and would be the last class in society to ask for it. They can help themselves, and they must not try to do it on a cheap ecale. They must be liberal, and prove by thelr gone resity that they are in earnest. For the price of two cigars and a glass of bocra week, to be paid by each individual mem- ber, they can haye an institution that will bo worthy of them. Twenty-five cents a weok would not be a great deal to give; and it soems to us that they ought to be very glad that eo many food things are within their reach, and go reach them at once, both for themselves and thelr posterity, It fs a question whether {t would be better to have one — institution in each ward which should embrace any and all members of the working closse or ono for the members of each distinct trad Thus the business of building in- cludes a great number of crafts ns its associ ates, and could establish in half a year a no Lie institution, or it could joln with other trades to form one, We suppose there are among thoso engaged in building in New York 2,000 Dricklayers, 900 plasterers, 600 carpenters, 450 siniths, 1,900 stonecutters, 400 roofers, and 700 stono masons, all of good standing, whose codperation it would be right and proper to ask in an enterprise of this nature, Here are some 6,800 members of one great section of labor, unorganized for any groat educational or social work ; and yet they could achieve, as Lord Ciritam said, “anything but impossibilities ;" and there aro fow things which would be impos sible to them if they set rightly to work, We often wonder if they ever tried to estl mate thelr own strength and faculty for achievement. Suppose only one-third of the above nuwuber—say 2,200 mon—resolved themselves into a society for cotiperative pur poses, including education and trade, and the fee of membership were twenty-five conta per week, ‘They would in one mouth havo a working capital of two thousand two bun: dred dolla With this sum they could open a store and sell every article that would be requircd in their families at cost prive, minus the charges of freight, rent, and distributi and thus, besides saving at least 20 por cout., they would be sure ry good article and good weight, They could found a veading-room, a library, and clemen- tury clases for the instruction of their chil divn and for such of the members whose early education bad been neglected, and higher—instruction—classes for those who might wish to avail themselves of them; es pecially classes for technical education, in which most important department our other- wise generous scheme of public instruction is most lamentably deficient, Then there could be weekly lectures and concerts, free to all tho members and their friends; games of recreation, conversational classes, debating clubs, and various other features of uso and amusement. Of course these things are not to be ac complished without troublo and faithful work, But they can be done, because they have heen done; and tho best money ever oxpended Dy the workmen would be to en gage a competent man, if they could flud him, who had all these matters at his fin- gers’ ends, to organize them forthwith into cobperative socletios for these objects, un- less, as other workmen have done before them, they begin at once to organize them- selves, ‘Tho only obstacle in the way of suc- coss is their own apathy, —_—— The Cuban insurgents hold out well, It is now about three mouths since with only five hundred men they raised the standard of revolt, Though ull the Spanish troops in the island and all the volunteers that could be organized are sent against them, they appear to be stronger and more determined than ever, They have now in the fleld at least fifteen thousand men, tolerably armed and provided, who have had experience of campaigning and of battle, and do not hesi- tate to cope with the veterans of Spain, Not oul ip the whole easiery portion of the island * THE SUN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER THE LOSS OF THER HIDERNIA, —— rticulare—Marvellons Recape the Boats—Terrible Sufferings— Insanity and Death—A Thrilling Narra- ve. ‘The steamship Weser, from Bremen Dee. 12, and Sonthampton 15th, with merchandise and 292 passengers, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, One files by thts arrival come down to the 15th, ‘The Clargow Herald paviishes the narrative of Mr. Davies, the second officer of the Hibernia, who had fuich @ marvellous eseape in one of the ship's bouts.
