EFFECT OF THE ELECTION. The republicans of the United States rallied to the polls on Tuesday, and made certain, by their action, that their defeat in the larger contest woull not be accomplished two years hence. ? A democratic house of tives would have been exceedingly em- harassing. It would have blocked the legislation that republicans advanced and with the object of strengthening 'their position in the presidential elec. tion. Apparently at the last hour the re- publican party perceived its danger, and by a mighty effort re-established it-elf in power. It just as well. There would he nothing but friction if the democrats held the lower chamber and the republi ans the senate. The only way in which a party in which it can repre-enta- is cen operate freely, act Le Leld responsiile to have control of congress and the gov- ernment. This control the democrats lost in 1893, under the present leaiers it has seemingly been lost for- with some degree of success, and for its work, is and ever.

It was that, contrary to the contentions of the conservatives, con- trary to their the post- office department had prospered under liberal rule, and that for the first time in many vears, if not in Canadian his- torv, there was for the federal finan- cial vear, which ended on June 30th, a surplus It is small, only a little more than $5,000, but it is enough to put an end to the direful talk of Canada's false prophets. Mr. Mulock became head of the de- partment under circumstances which did not promise very hopeful. The de- ficits which marked the last years the conservative government were very lirge. Tu 1896 the deficiency was $781, 152.19. The letter rate to England was per half per hali ounce in the dominion and to the Un- ited States. The proposal to reduce the postage was not met bv the gument, "It can't be done; the annual deficit is already large enough." Nr: Foster, in his last budget speech, re- ferred to the deficit in post-office ac- count under tory rule as nearly $800, - 000. He said this fact made it clear that the time was somewhat distant when there could be a reduction in the rate of postage. Mr. Mulock in prophecies, of Se. ounce, and 3c. ar- 1898, and as post- master-general, moved for a reduction on the postal rates. He held that cheapened rates would lead to an en- The enemy said he ruination.

In other words there has been a wonderful fulfilment of Mr. Mulock's plans, and the success he has achieved is the best evidence that. can be offered in suppert -of his adminis- tration.
