foreign markets , and this is-what the
democratic loaders say their policy con *
templates , it is manifestly of great importance
topc
portance that xvo shall ho able to cnrrv
our products to such markets in our own
ships. A coinmi'tcial country is at a
horious disadvantage that must depend
xvholly upon foreign vessels for the
transportation of its products. This
country annually pays to Kuropouu ship
oxvnors moro than B''UO.OOt,000 ) in freight
charges , an exceedingly small nart of
xvhlch is expended in this country.
This money is paid to the foreign em
ployes 1 1 of steamship companies * , to
Kuropoan ship builders , nnd to the mer
chants tibrnml xvho furnlsli the supplies
for the ships. It is traiisforn-d from
the : pockets of the producers- the
United States to the coders of the

that if wo had an American motvhant

money xvould bo kept in this country

and thus the money xvould ba redistributed

going to tlioio of Europe.
When ono reflects upon thu enormous

There i.s no dilTeroncc of opinion in
the political parties regarding the duly
of suppressing trusts nnd combinations
to control production and prices. Both
agree that this should bo dona and the
party which xvill succeed to power in the
government next March is pledged by
its platform to enforce the existing laxv
against trusts aim to provide whatever
other loL'iblntion may bo found neces
sary for thuir suppression.
The laxv that xvas passed by the last
republican congress has not accom
plished what xvas expected of it. In but
ono case , as xvo remember , has it boon
olluctive in breaking up a combination
of tlio character described in the act ,
In that case the United Stutoa circuit
court decided that the laxv is Lu
tional and subsequently the ll t
of .liistico instructed the federal district
attorneys throughout the country to
take steps for enforcing the laxv. Special
agents of the department xvero also di
rected to collect evidence for institut
ing proceeding * against several of the
larger combinations. Suit xvas brought
against Iho whisky trust , but it fell
through on u technicality and no clTort ,
so fur us the public KIIOWH , 1ms since
been made to renew it The proposed
prosecution of the cordage trust did not
materialise , and indeed the numerous
combinations denounced in thu plut-
foiins of both the partjcs are allowed i to
go on as ' if their existence xvas entirely
lawful'and there had boon no il li
tion for their suppression. As there re
mains less than four months of the pres
ent administration it is not likely that
the Department of Justice xvill be dis i
posed to commence proceedings against
any of the trusts , uud there uro obvious
reasons why the mrxltor nbould bo left
to bo c.u-oii for by the party thai xvill
administer the por.Turnout for four
years from next March.
That parly xvhl ho expected to curry
out Us p'cdgc In relation to trusts nnd
monopolistic combinations existing in
violation of the laxv nnd doomed to bo
inimical to the public interest" . It xvill
be expected to lose nollmoin proceeding
against the sugar trust nnd the nnthra-
clto coal monopoly , xvhlch are plunder
ing the people to the amount of millions
of dollnrs annually. These combinations
lire independent of the ttirllT and xvill
not ba seriously nIToctod by any clmngo
of tariff policy , as some of the others
may bo. They must bo reached by the
direct applicilion of the laxv. O.io of
the Imperative duties that xvill devolve
upon the democratic parly xvhon it re-
turiH to pnxvcr , In order to keep faith
xvith the people , xvill bo to rigidly en

found inadequate to the .suppression of

Tlio collapse ot Hie ( rroitt strike in
Noxv Orion lit , xvhlch began on October

Ono feature of the surrender of the

miMoes representing the unions nnd the

by xvhich all of the btrikcrs xvill betaken

At thi.- , distance this SJOUH to bo an

salisfacto1 y and if the employers exorcise
good judgment in dealing xvith the de- |
foaled unions thcic in iy ensue an era
of good feeling that xvill be profitable
xvoll as nleabant to all concerned.
If the outcome of this great struggle
proves anything it prox-os that u byinpa-
thctin htriko embracing unions ciifiafred

uion ono another has little ehanco of
success ; for xve bolicvo there has , never

xvithout attempting to dibcuss the morita
of Hie case it is pleasant to note that in
the adjustment of the quarrel xviso counsels -
sols seem to have prox'ailod on botli
sides. Friendly and reasonable confer-
euro is n good remedy for such differt

The adoption of the Australian system
bus given us ballot reform , but wo still
lack reform in the method of canvassing
election returns. Tlio refusal by many
of the judges and clerks of election to
carry out the directions given by the
county commissioners and mayor for a
uniform count , beginning xvith the elec
toral ticket and ending xvitb precinct
olllcors , caused a great deal of con
fusion and delay.
The only remedy for this is a laxv that
will require election olllcers to count the
ballots in a given order. To expedite
the count , provision should also be made
by laxv for counting tlio vote in metro
politan citlos from hour to hour , us is
done in New York.
Another needed reform is that the
canvass of the vote shall begin llio
morning after election and continue as
rapidly as possible until all the returns
have been rocoix-od. To xvait until Iho
lasl precinct has made Its return delays
the canvass txvo or three days. Such
bungling is tolerated in no other city in
the country. The county ofllcer.s should
have nil their blanks ready before elec
tion and the mon xvho are lo constitute
the canvuBsintr board should bo notillnd
to hold themselves in readiness to bejlii
xvork the morning after election. ILid
this method been pursued the cnnvnss
ot DouyiiiH county returns xvould have
been completed Thurnday. This is no
rolh'ction upon County CJlork Saokolt ,
improvements for compiling and civn-
x'asslng the voto. Mr. Siokott has sim
ply folloxvcd the jirecodont heretofore
established , not to begin the canvass
until the last box is in. It is to bo
hoped that ho xvill break away from
this precedent next yoirnnd begin the
cuiivii&H the morning after the election.
Tim Board of Health at its last moot t-
ing considered ono subject that xvill no

the number of cases of contagious disease
xvas seventy-nine , but foxv of those xvoro

that noxv taken from xvolU may become
an imperative necessity before long.
The change xvill bo expensive and may
meet xvith opposition , but public health t
must be guarded.

that it is up-hill work io-oleoting any
man to any olllco , nnd a Washington
dispatch says that It Is thooplnfnn there
that u plank xvill bo inserted in future

The antagonism ot ttio Hnusn of Lords to
any homo rule bill that' the Commom are
llltolv to adopt bein assured , It becomes In-
7 to consider hoxv that nntuironism
xvill bo met , nud by xvhat moans It caa bo
overcome ) . It tins been currently reported
tnnt Mr. Gladstone Intends to secure A ma
jority of the Lords by croatlnt ; nt tunny noxv
peers as It may bo necessary to produce , anil
Lord Salisbury ulvns weight to that rumor
l > y explaining how ho and his colleagues pro
pose to ineoL such a mox'e If it Is madu. Ho
says that the tiocvly cro.ited peers xvou'd
bo refused admission to the houio , nnd | ho
cltu.s some rather doubtful precedents to
support the constitutionality of such re
fusal. It U dirtluult to see how this could
he done. The letters patent under which
paera of tlio realm are created carry
xvith thorn the right to a seat In the
hereditary chamber nnd to dispute that right
xvould bo in oflect an uct of rebellion against
the sovoreisn granting It. It xvould bo n
kind of treason and xvtion itcamo to tlio point ,
the Lords xx'ould hardly venture on It. Hut if
ttio Lords present a solid front against homo
ruic , public opinion mseht not supnort such a
wholesale creation of peerages as would bo
necessary to ovnrcomo It , and nnotlior con-
tingenry xvhicn has not yet boon
mlht possibly nriso. The queen might refuse
to sanction the issue of the rcquUito letters
patent. In creating peerages the queen
usuallv deus no moro than carry out the
suggestions of iho premier , but she has tlio
power to Uo uioro. The creation of piorasos
is In a special sonsohor personal act nnd she
might refuse to bo a party to Mr. Glailstono's
purposes. | Considering that her oxva sympa
thies are all xvllh Lord Salisbury in this
strugple , stio xvould nlmoit certainly do so if
assured of public support and according to
the cloction returns England xvould bo xvltu
her. 1 Altogether it Is improbable that Mr.

Italy Is holding a general election , the re

the triple alliaaco , nnd xvill hax'o u powerful
bnarmg upon the question of peace or xvar

financial ono. There Is a chronic tlistlcil in

gance in puolio works and partly by the
uo.ivy military expenditures imposed by the
triple allunco. This evil can bu remedied
only in ono of txvo xvnvs : reduction of ox-
pensoi or incrjaso of income. The latter
means increase of taxation , aurl that is out ,
