GEttEner. Mammas is to eccapy the
White house at 1Vaehington for the next
four years. President C'evoland's little
retaliation eel/erne proved a boomerang.
Ile evidently did not know it was loaded
np the wront+ way. England and Can-
ada will nut likely fair any better with
President I'.arrison but we need not care
very maula for we can get along nicely
with,' at Carle Gem if be won't play fair.
Il. M V .t.La. ore of the solicitors of
the ("seedier, Pacific hallway Company,
argues that all Irovincial acts autho ix -
the eanatreetien Tit railway" which cross
or touch these Imes which were declared
by the D0171 1[11011 Act of 1883 le be works
for the general advantage of Canada are
nitre vires. This makes it all the more
necessary that all the provinces should
take part in the argument shortly to be
heard by the Supreme court on the Mani-
toba crossings.case. If Air. Wells' con-
tention is correct, the power of provincial
legislatures to charter railways has been
,swept away completely, and if snob is the
effect of the act of 1883 then that act
mint be repealed.
TEE Prohibition question is moving
on, not only in Canada bat also in the
United Staten. Four years ago Govern-
or St. John, a well-known Prohibitionist
polled 150,000 votes as a candidate for
the Presidency. That was not a bad
showing, to think that so many electors,
in a land where corruption is said to
stalk abroad at such times, had bsokbone
enough to put principle ahead of party.
In the contest last week the Prohibition
candidate (Gen. Fisk) proved to a dem-
onstration the assertion made in the first
sentence of this editorial by being credit-
ed with nearly 350,000 votes—a splendid
gain in four years. It will be a glad
day for both the Dominion of Canada
and the'United States when the Prohib-
ition flag shall wave over the millions of
subjects freed from the greatest curse on
earth.
"No scoffs of foes, nor doubts of friends
Shall weaken our endeavor,
To brand the traffic with disgrace
And wipe it out fo-ever ;
Bight on shall go our glorious work,
Until its full completion,
We'll fight it out upon the lino
Of TOTAL PROnmITIoti.
TsAttL'aolvn. Day has once more roll-
ed around, calling from each and every
ono expressions of thankfulness and
gratitude for the mercies and blessings of
the past year. Wo should be thankful
for national blessings, that while there
have been remora of ware we, as part of
a great nation, have been preserved from
ouch. Thankful for temporal blessings,
suoh as fall to the lot of almost all the
industrious people of Ontario. The har-
vest exceeded the expectations of a great
marry prophets, and the prices for grain,
fruit and such have not been better for
years. Whilst other countries have been
scourged with fever and other diseases
Canada has been comparatively free from
any such afflotion, We believe, morally,
the people of Ontario shonld express their
gratitude that the pulpit and the press
speak with no uncertain eonud on those
questions that have a tendency to stimu-
late people In a Christian land to strive
to be men and women, who will always
dare to do right. In the thousande of
churches in this Dominion, as the song
of praise and voice of thanksgiving may
rise, there will bo nothing more appro.
priate to the occasion than the grand
old doxology,
"Praise God from whom all bleeeingsflow,
Praise Him all creatures hare below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost."

a charge of vagrancy or on suspicion of
being a dangerous character—it is not

'Washington Letter.
ru,:a r.ur Regular Oorresponaent.)
iS eslril+orOy, A ov. 10, 18b5.
Election LAWS was the absorbing sub-
ject in the Government Departments
Tuesday. Tho routine business held its
languid course as a matter of form, but
really there was nothing done. The
dearth of news during Tuesday led to
speculations and surmises of all kinds,
but that had been the program for some
days. The only new element was the
suppressed feeling of excitement due to
the fact that the crisis had at last some.
The only novelty that the situation af-
forded was the discussion of the best
means of hearing the election retaras
that evening. All the Departments had
special wires, and the higher officials ar-
ranged that the operators should remain
on duty in the evening and furnish the
bulletin., as they came In. There was a
great demand for passes to the Depart.
merit buildings, but these were limited.
On election day, Washington, up town,
had the appearance of a holiday. In
some places it seemed like Sunday. In
the hotels there was a quiet peaoe that
was but a forerunner of the looks of the
registers, where the entries of the ar-
rivals were few and far between. It ver-
ily seemed as thongh the pulsations from
the great battle then raging bad penetrat-
ed eveu the busiest places, stopped the
wheels of trade, of business, of society,
and almost of the Government. The De-
partments did what was walled a day's
work, but it made is poor showing against
the industry of other times. Beginning
in the highest places there were vacant
desks. Heade of Departments, bureau
chiefs, heads of divisione, clerks, even
messengers, were missing on every hand.
As your correspondent wandered around
the Departmental corridors, bo became
impressed with the loneliness of the sit -
nation. The condition of things was
everywhere reversed; instead of asking
questions he was besieged with inquiries
from tbo clerks and officials as to the
outside news immediately upon his ap-
pearance. In the office§ of the high of-
ficials the desks, covered with yellow
cloths, told their stories withont explan-
ation. The Treasury Department was
almost swept clear of clerks, with Gov.
Thompson at the head of affairs.
The "sea-daty" order whioh will affect
the officers of the staff corps of the Navy
having the relative rank of captain will
be among the fiat things that will now
occupy Seoretary Whitney's attention.
Since the matter was commented upon a
few weeks ago by the loom press there
has been considerable disoussion of the
matter by naval °Moern. It has been
stated that the staff officers will not ob-
ject to the higher grade of officers being
order' ed to sea, but if suoh should Dome
to pass alley will insist that all the priv-
ileges which their relative rank allows to
bo accorded thein. In other words, if
they are ordered to sea they will insist
upon having cabin accommodations, eta.
Such an argument is simply absurd. No
matter what the rank, the moment a staff
Wilber goo. aboard a ship he is amend-
able to Navy Regulations, and will have
to take his little room on the port side
just the same as has boon the custom
since the foundation of the Navy. The
order, which is now awaiting the signa-
ture of Secretary Whitney to make it
official, will undoubtedly be issued next
week.
From a statement prepared by the
supervising spooialagent of the Treasury,
it appears that the total collections from
customs during the last fiscal year
amounted to 9220,301,180, and that the
cost of coliootion was 96,502,870. The
colleotions show an increase as compared
with the preoeeding year of 91,688,191,
while the expenses wore reduced 9165,-
240. The percentage of cost of oollection
was 2 28.100 per cent., as against 3 12.
100 per cent. in 1887, and is the lowest
rate touched in many years. Tho per-
centages of expense were decreased in
New York one mill, in Philadelphia two
mills, in Chicago three mills, and in San
Francisco thirteen mills. The total
value of goods forwarded under the Im-
mediate Transportation aot was 988,021,-
395, whioh is an increase of about 92,-
600,000, as compared with the proceeding
year, and of 99,000,000 as oompared with
1886.
