THE FATED SEAL,

The story of the unhappy fate which has
overtaken the fur seal in all parts of the world
but one has been many times told Their rook-
cries were numerous and densely populated
once in many localities. Our own New En-
gland fishermen discovered many of them and
did their full share in the work of devastation.
Ihe herguelen land in the Indian Ocean
yielded 900 600 skins in twenty years; 900 GOO
were taken from the South Shetland Islands off
Cape Horn in two years; ECO 900 from the
Georgian Islands in seventeen years; $4,000 q
a year FROM Massaiuero, and many thousands
from the Falkland Islands, frGn Lower Cali
fornia, and the Japan Sea- But every one of
these spots has been exhausted, rayished of its
rlch treasure by indiscriminate slaughter. The
Argentine Republic still possesses and vigilantly
guards one small r0Okery; but aside from this
the fur seals have no retreat on earth but Beh-
ring Sea. hat they flourish there and in re-
cent years have increased in numbers, is for
our profit and the good of the word, and it is
only due to the wise precautions which our
Government has taken against recurrence of
the unfortunate experiences elsewhere OBJ
served. But they do not exist in Behring Sea
IN such numbers that any of the safeguards now
set about the seal can be Withdrawn.
Which facts are reasons sufficient for the
adoption of policy that will prevent the
realization of the fable of the golden egg. In
the effort the United States Government is
making to preserve the seal fisheries from
destruction, the whole civilized world is
interested. 1t is for the best interests of
all the nations that the claim of the
Americans that the Behring Sea shall be
recognized as a closed sea should be ae-
knowledged. All this talk about protect
ing the seals from determination by inter-
national agreement and joint guards is
idle. If one other nation is admitted to
the privilege Of sealing in the waters re-
ferred to, then all must be admitted If
England and the United States should
come to an agreement that they should
have mutual rights in the waters of Beh-
ring Sea, but no others shall take seals
there, then the sea will be declared closed
sea to all others, and the principle now
contended for by the United States will
be reasserted. Obviously if it is not
closed sea to Great Britain, then it is open
water to France, Spain, China, Japan,
Russia, Germany, the Argentine Repub-
lie, the Hawaiian Government, the King
of the Cannibal Islands; the whole pack
from the Congo Free State to the patient
fishers of the German North Sea. How
long will the seal last with all these knock
ing him on the head when he takes to
land?

THE ELIXIR AGAIN,

In the North american Reriep for Sep
tember DIR. W. A. Hammond, late Surgeon
General Of the United States, comes to the
defense of the Brown-Sequard elixir busi-
ness. In a trenchant manner the doctor
contends that there is nothing unreason-
able, irrational or foolish in believing that
there may be discovered means of arrest
ing for considerable time the decay of
age and the devastations of constitutional
ills. He declares that it has been demon
strated that the Brown-Sequard elixir has
greatly relieved muscular rheumatism of

ton, End where no question is asked of
any of either sex who approach them.
They spew forth nightly opium 6ends,
street-walkers and petty thieves they
shelter criminals, and are the refuge of
escapes and outlaws.
All such places should be regulated by
municipal ordinances, until, at least, State
laws can be framed to reach them. They
should be put under reg;ilative license,
subjected to inspection, and whenever
found harboriug criminals and loafers,
should be closed up. Shall these, how
ever, pe forbidden reefs to shelter them
Yes, that is certainly the ain, or should
be OF society. For the honest, poor man
there must be honest, poor lodgings; foT
the isreclaimable criminal, the leech upoE
society, the drone and the willfully Idle,
there must be nc rest granted.
But society cannot afford to blot out the
cheap lodging house without offering
an alternative. 1t should wage war on
10 evil and expect permanent gocd re-
suits, unless it offers side by side with con-
demnation the means of reformation. If
] it prohibits the dive, the low dance-hall,
the vile resort, the vicious rendezvous for
the homeless-it-should in their stead open
reading-rooms, coffee-houses, pleasure halls,
lecture-rooms cheap places of harmless
amusement.-i indeed, clean and cheap resorts
free from the brand of crime, where the
poor, the friendless and the homeless may
come, even in their rags. So, too, if the
lodging-houses, that Inspector Byrnes in
sists breed crime more rapidly than even
the low doggeries, are to be regulated out
of existence-as they should be, since
under decent regulation they will cease to
exist-society must provide for the honest
poor the honest cheap lodging.

THE rush homeward from Europe has
set in and Americans are now coming back
by the thousands. We may expect the
coming winter a considerable drift of travel
towards California, but the enormous num-
Der of Eastern people who went to the
Paris Exposition from the Unites States,
and who went out to other parts across the
water, will have tendency to lessen the
excursion business to this coast somewhat.
1t is certain that the Paris show hit D
California very hard, and deprived us OF
many thousands ofsummer visitors. Our day
will come, however, and in the end we will
discover that the attractiveness of this
State has not diminished in the estimation
of tourists.

SOUTHERN newspapers are very unchar-
liable, very unfair, and for the matter of
that very un-American. Here we find
them protesting against Republican speak
ers coming South to address members of
the party and aid in strengthening the
organization, Some of the objectors go so far
as to pronounce the announcement that a
Northern Congressman will address
Southern Republicans as ''impudent."
We like that! When Southern statesmen
came up out of the South last fall, and
grew eloquent before the masses of the
Democracy in the North, did anyone con-
slider it impudent? When Southern ora
tors came into California last autumn, and
did gallant battle against the candidacy of
General Harrison, did anyone pronounce
it ''impudent?" Have our Southern con-
temporaries forgotten that citizen of the
nation is at home on any part of its soil !?
That neither the law nor the theory
of the Republic recognize it to be an
offense for the orators of any political
party to speak to the people of any and all
sections of our country?

many years standing, and arrested the de-
cay that is inserarable from pain. He
nolds that outside of the domain of math,
ematics there is nothing impossible in
and that we should therefore re-
serve our opinions as to unfamiliar sub
jects. He contends with warmth that
there is nothing unworthy in medical sci
ence searching for remedies that will
check the deteriorating influences of old
age and the rendering Of existence more
tolerable. Those who have never made
original observations for themselves are
disposed to sneer at the allegations of the
possibilities in the new discovery, but they
are of the class that ridiculed Harvey
when he discovered the circulation of the
blood, and for which he was expelled from
the medical societies to which he belonged.
He points out that it is the duty of the
physician to experiment and make re-
searches for the better treatment of dis
eases, and for the reduction Of human
suffering to the lowest possible minimum.
This is what Pasteur has done, and what
Brown-Sequard is dong. Yet that scien-
tist declares that nothing positive has
been determined by his experimenting ex-
cept the relief afforded in cases of rheuma-
tism. DR.. Hammond concludes that the
whole matter being as yet in the expert
entail stage, it is irrational to condemn ii
as folly, and at the same time it is rash to
indorse it as positive discovery of an
arrester of old age. He does not believe
that any elixir viii he discovered thatwill
make old men young, but does hold that ii
is possible that some agency will be
evolved by research that will greatly re-
duce the infrmities of the aged, and that
will render their existence more pleasant
and that will somewhat prolong it.

About every other house in San Fran
cisco now wears the legend next to its bell

such nuisance to the housewife, why not
pass an ordinance forbidding any one to

other purpose in view than to ask YOU if
you want your photo enlarged by patent
process, if you wish to buy newly-pat-
ented clothespin, or q book of the Holy

1t is said that the Car has pardoned the
novelist Tschernichefsky, and has recalled
him from the inhospitable Siberian cline.

in that empire of territory for both Tscher
nichefsky and his name. Seriously, how

less as dove. If there is any human be-

did not complain. But the old women, |
torn by envy, did, and so Charles and |
