Arrest of English Seal Hunters In
Alaskan Waters.

Acting Secretary Fairchild has received a
supplemental report from Special Agent G..
Il. Tingle in regard to the Alaska seal fish
cries, dated San Francisco, Aug, 1s, in
which he says "On my arrival at Ouna-
laska met the revenue cutter Corwin,
Capt. Abbey, in charge of four schooners,
viz: San Diego, Onward, Thornton, and
Carolina, the three flrst-named being Eng
lisb vessels from Victoria. Capt. Abbey
has, unfortunately, been short Of coal or he
would have made more seizures He has,
however, been very active and has done
good work. urged him to remain If he
could, cruising around the island until the
Bear arrived to relieve him. II will be un-
fortunate II he should be obliged TO leave
earlier on account Of the non-arrival OF the
coal vessel, which, up to the time of our
leaving ounalaska, had not been heard
from, as the feet of schooners will play
havoc among the seals. II the cases now
under seizure are convicted, the maraudlng
will be broken up. IL not, seal life will be
seriously assailed next year by larger feet
Of vessels. / earnestly hope that no efforts
will be spared to convict Capt. Abbey's prls
oners, us he has certainly done his part well.'

CONCERNING thecaso Of Rasures, who was
kidnapped by completely between officers Of
the law on both sides OF the line and assas-
sin0ted in Mexico, the New York Sun says;
The substance Of the whole affair is that the
government Of the United States, as well rs the
government Of Texas, ought to be profoundly
ashamed of this revelation of iniquity in its
own border officials, completely blocking It's
complaints against the Incapable aud corrupt
local judiciary on the other side of the Rio
Gmndo. It ought to bend Its efforts first Of all
to puuishing these home officials. As q fact,
for hours and even days, we believe after the
country was ringing with this individual act of
private vengeance, styled by GOV. ireland
crime Of Mexico, the guilty Texas officials
were still at liberty and garruous; and, al.
though they are now under arrest, II is posi-.
BILE that not one In three Of those who have
leaned to declaim against Mondrdgon can tell
even the names Of the judge and sheriff through
whose completely his alleged crime alone be-
came possible,
1t seems to us that the Sun is entirely
right In holding that some attention should
be paid to the scouudrels on our own side
Of the line, who are really responsible for
the whole business, before we make any
demands on Mexico. Rasures could not
have been carried off to slaughter II he had
not been given away or sold by the Texas
officials. Gov. Ireland has cut a sorry
figure in these border disturbances, but
there is at least one level-headed man in
Texas, and his name is Reagan. Knowing
tfat we have no grievance against Mexico
he was courageous enough to say so at the
right time.

the typographical work being unsurpassed,
while the portraits Of the senators are re-

Or Mr.. Blaine's Sebago speech the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says It is so temperate, SO
full OF words Of wisdom, and pervaded by
such broad craftsmanship, that 1t will fit
any and every section of the country The
New York Times refers to the "wlse and
temperate position" Of Mr.. Blaine on the
Mexican affair, and says: "It is natural that
he should make as much as he can OF the
deplorable weakness Of Mr.. Bayard as to
the Cutting affair, and OF his famous tele-
graphic instructions TO our minister In
MeXico.n The Philadelphia Press says "the
speech will be read with the llveliest inte-
rest not only because his well-deseryed
fame as public speaker begets high ex-
pectations, which are never disappointed,
but because more than any other man he Is
the chief and spokesman OF the Republican
party, and presents with something akin to
authority It's convictions and matured iudg-
ment.n The Philadelphia Times remark
that Mr. Blaine "does not want TO turn our
gunboats loose upon the Canadian cruisers,
but insists that American fishermen should
be protected in their rights. There Is no
American who will not agree with him on
that point or on the statement that our
government must deal directly with Eng
land in the settlement of the question"
The New York World thinks ''the most inn
portant feature of the speecn is the effort
10 stay the progress of the Prohibition
party in his state 1t is plain that Mr..
Blaine is apprehenslye about third party,
and he laboIs with all the argument aud
logic at his command to prove that the
Republican party of Maine is to-day and
has always been consistent friend of
prohibition The New York Tribune
finds that ''Mr, Blaine's literary recreatons
have invigorated and elevated his style In
campaign oratory. No other American in
public life takes the same pains In prepar-
ing political addresses, or discusses ques-
tions OF the time with equal breadth Of
view and dignity Of manner" The Brook

THE Washington Post ably continues its
spirited vindication of the Wing party. Here
is its latest effort In that line:
The Mexican war was not the worst war the
world ever saw but 1t holds place pretty low
down in the classification. Tom Corwln said !:
"Ir were Mexican, as am an American, l
would welcome your soldiers with bloody
hands to hospitable graves" and the men who
think he was right increase in number with
every generation.

A Case Barred by Time.

The Treasury Department has just de-
cided a curious customs case. A mare was
brought to Burlington, Vt, nine years ago
without payment Of duty. Shortly after
her arrival she had colt. Recently this
colt was seized to secure the duty supposed
to be due on the mother. The case was ap.
pealed TO the Treasury Department, and
the collector has been instructed to release
the colt, on the ground that the case against
the mare is barred by time.
